MARCH 31,1922.

Highways and By-Ways of Lil’ Or New York By RAYMOND CARROLL (Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.)

NEW YORK, March 31.—For nearly i on* whole daj this week women cigarette smokers of New York City raged. If the two clerks —out at the city hall and the other at police headquarters —who bear the brunt of the blame of the false cigarette-banning in public places to women for eighteen hours had only waited until April 1, the Incident would have been classed as the greatest "Allfools Day’ stunt pulled since P. T. Barnum painted an elephant white and humbugged the public with it. Luckily no arrests were made and the city of New York is not in for a flock of damage suits. But no apologies, be they ever so humble, can compensate the female smokers for the energy they expended in the white heat of their wrath over their fancied belief that man as exemplified in the board of aldermen had slipped one over on them. They are still fuming two ways, in curls of restored smoke and In outbursts of dwindling wrath, at the “despicable invasion of their right.” The women smokers simply went crazy when in many restaurants they were told to pack away their fags or get out. That was when the supposed lav was in force. The dismay and cons: .vm - tion that came upon them were uvea more profound than that which encompassed thos e present at the feast of Belshazzar when the coming of Cyrus to Babylon was forecast upon the walls of the banquet hall. Think of the troubled dreams th&t resulted from from that one night’s anger One little lady taking breakfast in our hotel told of seeing battalions of marching women moving down Bruadway in the direction of city hall to protest against the supposed ordinance. Another said she dreamed of the next board of alderman composed entlerly of smoking women. Not since the false armistice was celebrated has there been such a gigantic hoax perpetrated upon the New York public. Old timers re-called how James Gordon Bennett once turned the wild animals loose one morning from the Central Park Zoo in the columns of the New York Herald. Briefly, what happened was this: Dan McCoy is an assistant in the office of the city clerk. He has been on the job forty years. His chief task is to notify each city department affected when the board of aldermen adopts an ordinance. Last fall Alderman McGuinneas of Greenpoint, which is a part of the old ’’City of Churches,” or Brooklyn, introduced an ordinance banning smoking In public by women. It was referred to the committee on general welfare, where it died with the 1921 board. Nothing daunted, Alderman McGutnness reintroduced his resolution Jan, 24 of this year, and it was “filed,” as before, with a tremendous majority of 55 to 3 against its passage. Clerk Dan found the resolntion among his papers and, thinking it had passed, sent It to police headquarters, which acted upon it until Commissioner Enright rescinded the order. Anyhow, It was something in the way of a good joke upon the puffing ladles.

Here Is a tale unauthorized ly the press agent of the Bijou Theater, where “Dover Road,” a play built around the salvaging of a wife aud a husband, and the frustration of two elopments, is playing. The central figure of the piece is a character who devotes his time and his money to enticing runaway couples into his home, situated on the Dover Road, by which one motors from London to the boat for the continent, and there showing up what Is to come after by compelling them to see each other in their true colors. In the intermission on the sidewalk in front of the theater I chanced to meet a member of a very exclusive New York club, one of the sort of men who Invites and receives many confidences. “Did you notice that gray-haired man seated in the fifth row on the aisle?” he asked. I nodded. My friend continued: “He Is a queer chap, and has taken the moral of this play seriously to heart. He Is here most every night, watching not the play, but the actions of married folk to whom he has sent tickets. Ilia mania is to prevent rifts In the families of his friends. He sends them here so they can see the folly of new entaglementa.” “How do you know that?” I asked. The clubman replied: “Because X know of half a dozen mu-

tual friends to whom he has done this, and, well, ha sent a pair of seats to my own wife, and that Is how * came to be here tonight.” In relating this circumstances without the use of the names of the principals to a veteran detective, I asked for his opinion of the volunteer activities of such a man He replied: "It does not surprise me at all. Every grade of society has its men who devote their free time to secret protective endeavor. Most of the patching up of marital difficulties is done In this way, volunteer friends who stroke the excited nerves and never reveal themselves. “Now and then we have men and women who take up this sort of work as hobbies. I know personally of n wealthy New York physician who annually spends thousands of dollars ferreting out little mysteries that excite his interest. He will be out dining, for example, and will observe the hostess being scrutinized eagerly by some young foreigner. Next morning he will send for a private detective and have the foreigner watched. If the reports warrant it, he may tactfully reveal what he has learned to the hostess who, he feared, had become Interested. “His recompense is the reward of doing some good, althongh he accomplishes this only in one in a hundred cases. However, through his delving into the private affairs of his friends, he learns so much that he has lost faith in mankind and has become a very unhappy man.”
