Density of silver is 10.5; 14-karat gold, 13.2; pure gold, 19.3; pure platinum, 21.5. Georges Barrere's new flute is 90% platinum, 10% iridium, a combination used for the finest jewelry, rating 21.6 in density.

What's the Cotton Club compared to a cage of acrobatic monkeys? Feed a fair one at the Ritz at two-fifty a plate; feed the animals in the zoo--but they won't let you--at five cents a bag--and much more fun! Philosopher thou art right: How distorted our sense of values is! Then on Friday the Vagabond heard Rudy Vallee at the Waldorf; on Sunday--with...
