the ttimulan of the noise, the chops the dust, the
variety Of faces, of the hissing, seething street.
There is something there to lure them away from the
monotony Of their siness life, and gradually they are
fsscinated by Broadway. They cannot live without
il. They become part and parce OF Broadway. They
sre female faces which haunt Broadway for whole
generation. The stranger who has seen such face
with Broadway flusb at tie begipnlng OF the nne
teerth century, may chance TO meet the same lace
again, with Broadway Wrinkles tCward the middle OF
the same century. Towards mid day Broadway has ost
altogether its gate hill and Chespde character.

yet amid the variety every one preserving i.s own
individuality. This, then, is another pecuhanty
Broadway which makes it so different from great
Euro pean thorough fares. Alter sunset when basiness
has ceased, and the shops are mostly closed, the
pleasure atmosphere begins. Immense crowds gather
