Broadway is a study for every
body. It's constantly crowded, and
to the student no such text books
Of human nature could be found IN
all the world as this same Broad
way. / am awfulIy tired! and (
while rest in this cosy seat by the
window, I will watch the faces
for each carries its own story-and
the fashions. Here comes one Of
the Fifth Avenue drown stone
front sbelles, with diamonds enough
to buy country village. Her dress
is one If the new shades, with tint
like creste0 ocean foam, touched by /
/ the sun as he takes himself of in
his golden chariot Of flannel Under
skirt, demi-train, trimmed with two
rufIies headed with satin and jet,
and covered with dirt and dust one
fourth yard oyefskirt, two rufiies
and four folds, finished same way.

and punched up, any way, only

fringy, and the whole lifted in a /
straight line from the waist foot

den hustle! Her hair is crilnped in I
front, put up high, and on the apex
sits her cunning little hat, with /
field daisies, trailing grapes, mixed
with her beautiful long curls that
flow below her waist. She sports
! the side whisker, and uses her
parasol as a walking stick. o here
: comes n real Dolly Warden, with its
sheepfJlds and shepherds, with
crooks, peacocks and monkeys,
grapes, tangled shades and snakes!
