NEW YORKER Here*s a charming story of a lovely damsel in distress^ who had a lucky break. I read it in a book just out, called Recollections of an Old New Yorker. The author is Frederick Van Wyck, whose memories go back to the days when the old Waldorf, then brand 4 new, was the last word in tone and elegance, just as the new Waldorf is today. The lovely damsel in distress was a beautiful girl from the South, who came to ghe great city to visit relatives. She was quite overwhelmed by the splendors of the metropolis, especially the dresses and hats and the jewels and other fineries. # Qer New York relations bought a dress for her, a hat and also an exceedingly pretty nightgown. The girl bubbled with delight. That * night before going to bed, she looked at herself in the mirror and couldn*t resist a cry of triumph. it How pretty I, look in my new nightgown," she exclaimed. That same night the house was robbed. A quantity of jewelry was taken. The circumstances were such that suspicion YORKER -.■£ pointed to the demure little Southern girl. Nothing was done about it. It was just an ugly thing where somebody is suspected and is helpless. A year later the girl was walking along the street of New York when a man’s voice in the crowd beside her spoke up: nHow oretty I look in my new nightgovm." The girl immediately seized the man, screamed for help, and had him arrested. He was, of course, the robber,who hqd used the girl’s room for a hiding place.
