NEW YORK, Nov. Well, may the Japanese take pride in their race. I have mad the Joy of going through a Japanese paper merchant's store. Such pains and such artistry in so fleeting a thing as paper! In the most bewitching colors conceivable, of the finest texture to tht sturdiest sort, each shee; in itself was a perfect plsce of craf tmanship. All the edges cf this paper fairly snuffed out in what ve call tho deckle, giving the Impression that each one was made for a definite purpose. Some of the best exexamples seemed a cob-web of metal, and yet in the hands were as soft as gossamer. And then we send missionaries to the "heaihen Chinee."

the Wall street district held its own , for a while !n the competition, but J Is falling behind fast, and now removes only half the amount of rock dally, averaging a truck load of ock to every workman, while the ommonwealth averages two loads or man. Equipment furnished by Ke Ingersoll-Kand company, with ts world-wide reputation for rock andling, is used on the Commonralth hotel, and is in a great icasure responsible for the new rock removal speed record. One crew of twenty-two men Is remov

ing a little over 200 cubic yards of rock daily, or sixty truck loads.

Records for excavating rock are being smashed here in an effort to complete the great hotels and office buildings to provide for the ever increasing number of visitors, and the great increase in business now in sight. President Harding's recent prophecy of unequaled prosperity for business Is becoming evident in New York, and the city Is preparing for it. Cent-actors are competing to see ho-.v fast ?hunks of Manhattan can bo removed to moved to make place for great buildings. Rock removal records are being broken daily in the excavation for the great Commonwealth hotel, Broadvray, Flfty-fith to Fifty-sixth street, tho new 2,500room hostlery.

How It should delight Fabre that we are to have a play built about insects. Such Is the startling announcement of William A, Brady, and ere this is in print the "Insect Comedy" will be holding forth at the Jolson heater. When I first heard of it my though went back to f:n instrumcn.al musical number Tppular oh, several years ago called the "Mosquitoes Parade." It succeeded, in the most graphic way. In depicting the sounds and motion of that, pest- In tho play the actors have to wear weird costumes, make peculiar noises and hop around in a strange manner suggestive of insects. One scene sbows the war between the black and the yellow ants and the one hundred boys who take part have to cut up marvelous antics. It should give a chance to many who have the theatrical bug.

and Instances are cited of the chamberlain asking for additional references, which If not forthcoming, keep the dear ladies from wearing their plumes and making a courtesy before their loyal highnesses. The American ambassador's Influence is always soujjnt, but he frequently finds himself with no basis for judgment except the swanky get-up of the applicants. He cannot admit, however, that he does not recognize them as the prominent Americans which they claim to be and In good old United States, he "passes the buck" and the ladles have to depend upon their purchasing power among the British aristocracy.

Women become more and more adaptable. An instance is In the substitution hy the wife for a local college professor in his classes. The professor was suddenly called out of town, and aaked his better half to teach class for him that day. She proved a great success as a substitute. She said the only difficulty she had was deciphering her' husband's written assignment for the next session.

A local sheet of society gossip has Just piven us some of the Intimate details of the efforts of rich, but unknown New Y'ork women, to secure the privilege of presentation at Court in England.
