When Jersey City goes out to see the

cries, and panoramas of goose ponds
and goat pastures and an endless variety
of shanties and filthy tenements. If she
wants an evenings amusement she can
take in tenth rate show at the Academy,
or regale her ears with the ''dive" like
music of saloon across the way from
Police Headquarters. If she seeks exer.
else she slips to her back on mud covered
streets, or trudges through dirty lanes where
there are even no pavements. If she wants
drink she runs The chance Of swallowing
