Now, when men want conversation they seek each other. And whatever the calibre of the talk may be actually, they are convinced that it Is more bril- ant than anything a woman could say, merely because a woman doesn't say it, Only the masculine artist has a genuine impersonal appreciation of feminine beauty for its own sake, and even not every masculine artist 1s capable of such detached admiration, 1 don't see why young women expect men to serve luncheon. To be more specific, we| have reached the point in the discu sion of the girl who works and wins when she calls our attention to the fact that she is not always permitted to do her work and draw her salary, but fs expected to “flirt and joke with | her employer.” 4 In a letter which is practically an indictment of the New York business man, @ young woman reader of The Evening World observes to-day: “Surely there is something wrong; when a decent girl's acceptance of ‘lunch together instead of eating alone’ leads to wine dinners and the inculcation of a spirit of daring!” True enough, but a girl does not! have to be downtown very long be- fore she realizes that a condition why should she accept invitations to Lack of experience may be- them as moral bulwarks, for they never have done so, and they never will, GIRLS TREATED AS THEY DE.

Another reader of The Evening ‘World complains that some one told her when she came to New working girl's character. expect of her is that she will do her work properly.” Surely a girl doesn't cther persons expect live for Her what chara fires, especially the uitable fire, rendering surgical as- sistance to firemen and refusing all compensation, No civilian ever before received this medal.

In introducing the ho! yen to the Mayor Commissioner Johnson said that he knew of his own personal knowl edge “it was the first time in his Iife the Mayor ever pulled a false alarm," Mayor Gaynor said in part: “We have every reason to be proud of the Fire Department and the Police Department of this city.

A man and a woman, each of whom had pleaded gullty to crimes that meant long years of imprisonment tn a penal Institution—arraigned to-day Le fore Judge Malone in General Seasions for sentence—were very much surprised when informed by the Judge their pleas of guilty would have to be rescinded. “The storles told by you to the pro- bation oMcer of this court," Judge Malone said to them, ‘makes it tmpos- sible for the Court to accept your pleas of guilty. If your stories are true you are innocent and should be acquitted.” ‘The woman, Flossie Swinton, of No. 59 West Ninety-elhth street, had plead- ed guilty to assault with intent to kill Albert Drelker, of No, 1@ Wert One Hundred and Sixth street. She told the prabation officer she simply acted in self-defense.
