the AlhambTa-an ice cream resort late
ly opened little below Nibbo's. The
depth Of a shop on Broadway is pierced
for corridor entrance and this is lined
with counters tended by the prettiest
Hebes Of their class. Traversing this
alley Of temptation, you descend TO a
marble paved circular court, tended wi h
gaily-striped awnings, and embellished
with the cOrvings ar gorgeous colors
oil barbarjc architecture. The seats are
around fountain, and a statue Of wa
ter nymPh stands in the centre, holding
above head horn, from which issues
tie water IN jet resembling a glass
umbrella. The basin is trimmed with
howeres, the falling water makes the
constant murmur which is needrul 70:

the lacings Of the awning, and the ices
are made o. real cream The whole
scene is more Oriental than Spottish,and

or kiosk than the Alhambra; but il is
fairy spot las well as man can
Judge who has never seen fairy.landD
and for The price Of an ice cream it gives
the unirIyelled a Eew idea Of luxury.
