Mrs. Emma Van Cleaf Cheeks was guest of honor recently at a luncheon Editorial, Society Financial Fashions Section FIVE CENTS In New Greater York SEVEN Elsewhere CENTS Contemporary Comment GETTING INTO TROUBLE on Park ave. seems to be a favorite pastime of Brooklyn people this fall One young man was arrested forparking a rather old car on that street, which is SO stratified with society that anything the least bit cut of date spoils its symmetry. That the car was borrowed, that the owner's brother had had one stolen recently, and that the owner himself was away on his wedding trip further complicated matters. The moral of this is don't park on Park avenue.

Another anecdote concerns woman, on her way to a party on Park ave. She is middle-aged, but she was feeling particularly young that day, so young, in fact, that she neglected to watch her step and walked straight into a newly cemented sidewalk, a sidewalk not yet prepared to resist French heels and the avoirdupois that goes with females over 40. After four impeded steps consciousness predicament dawned; she hesitated, and with the hesitation sank deeper. Overwhelmed with anger and mirth, the workmen, nevertheless, managed to extend a plank to the lady and assist her back to terra firma. Whereupon she continued to the luncheon with about five pounds of cement on each shoe, her only comfort being the fact that she left her footprints on Park ave.

may bring great joy to some future geologists or achaeologists who are wondering what ladies of the 20th Century, or Prohibition period, were like. MRS. J. HALSTED BROWN. JR.

If in spite of the camouflage a complaint is registered, just a little more relish will so impair his digestion that you won't have to cook for him at all! E. R. G. given by Mrs. William Stetson of Dalton, and at a tea given on the estate of Mrs.
