Broadway is lined are the dollar stores. in
which everything glitterinR under the sun Is
70 be obtained for the sum Of one dollar. A
popular delusion obtains Ia regard TO the sales
women similar to that about waiter. girls and
young ladies of the ballet. They are all beau
tifui and graceful, for instance-or believed to |
DO so--and this has not q little to do with the
run OF custom, particularly after O'CLOCK.
From then up to any time before 10 the long,
broad stores dedicated to the dollar
enterprise are ablaze with light
which is reflected scores Of times
In mirrors and plate FURNISHED up to almost
calcium light splendor. Then the beautiful
young ladies are In their brightest glory, and
the dollar institution is Mt itsfulest blast. The
space between the counters is crowded from
side TO side. from portal to portal-from the
glass-plate doors that open upon Broadway to
the little iron postern that closes upon Mercer
street. AT such an hour, both for his heart and
his pockets sake 1t is dangerous for susceptible
youth TO enter q dollar store alone. Even ladies
do not go there without jeopardy. as the follow
ing case proves. A most respectable lady,
well. nown and highly esteemed innabitant of
Jersey Oity. while examining some vases in one
of these glittering temples of humbug. was
accused by one of the clerks of being shop

called In and she was hustled off. To make
the sequel short, she was looked up all nigh
among the bad ones, and in the morning con
fronted with that very benevolent visaged and
brow beating old Jeffries, Justice Dodge, who
without listening TO word. sent her TO the
lookup, where she remained two days and two
nights. That lady will never enter a dollar
store again, warrant. But people generally
like to be humbugged: and the thousands of
housekeepers in the city who bring themselves
to believe that they can get for one dollar at the
dollar stores what they can get nowhere else
for ten, are not likely TO be deferred by the
bitter experiences Of the Jersey City lady.
Those who have an eye for the beautiful are
hoping that the building of the new post
Office may be simultaneous with the improve
ment OF the surrounding City Hall Park. Seve-
raj suggestions have already appeared in the
newspapers, one OF which is that the unoccu'
pied space of the Park shall be converted into
an open paved plaza, where whisky punch,
clam chowder. and such luxuries may be en-.
jeyed at proper seasons Of the year. A beauti.
full sight this would be, would It not7-the tri-
angular space occupied by the Park converted

traverse the Park with paved and
covered avenues, to be well ventilated by
day and brilliantly liz at night The Park,
during both day and niaht, is almost as much

season there are always greater or less num-
Der of cases OF sunstrOke In the Park, and dur
ing the former 1t is sometimes impassable.
Covered avenues would remedy the difficulty
in both cases. The suggestion of beautifying
ing bushes Is likewise an excellent one, and
will be carried into execution when-when the
new post office is completed!
