The taffy girls have sweet faces. That is
what they are hired for. There are four or Ave
Of them. and they are q puzzle to the dudes OF
upper Broadway. Thoy are clerks in q mid
night candy store, situated In the nelghborhood
Of the seven theatres that arc crowded close
together above Madison square. 1t is true that
the establishment Is open during the day and
evening. but It's business is normal at those
customary hours The salssGirls at such lines
are ordinary. and tho traffic has no peculiari-
ties. But every evening . fresh force Of clerks
come on duty. and these are the taffy girls.
They arc meant to be An Involvement for trade
with people who emerge from the theatre be-
tween thai time and "a o'clock. They are q
carefully selected lot OF beauties, young and
sacoharins, intended TO match the candies which
they soil. They arc actresses In their way;
their seductive little wilss and cunning tricks
are - good ~ Q stage show. There 10 n deal OF
s~rtinciality about them, for no hair in their
heads knows It's natural color; their complex
ions are paintings, and their simplicity OF
dress IL too studious to be considered careless.
] have said that they puzzle the dudes. So they
DO. for the poor ohappies are as yet quite un-
able to make them out. Their smiles are what
the ballet girls call crockery smirks, and their
susvs condescensions always end abruptly with
the exchange Of q package Of candy for its
price. They arc gracious. but not firtatory.
20 far % their store behavior ia concerned. I
know Of several fellows who have bought in the
asgrsgats about . ton Of candy. which they
have emitted into the street, having no use for
It, and all their investment Of cash has not
brought them any nearer to an explicit under
standing Of those curious taffy girls. But the
success Of this novel business enterprise is not
90 much with mon as with women. The fem
inins portions Of the theatre audiences In pass
ing this store got Glimpsss OF the exceptionally
handsome clerks, tmpulsivsly insist, II they are
wives. or slyly hint at it. II they are only sweet
hearts. upon entering the place for q closer ex-
perisnoo with the sweet things there.
As q usual thing. the women Of erea. wealth
start the social usagss, and the women Of
smaller prstsnsions follow behind them imita-
lively. But It Is different In amateur photog-
raphy. This diversion has grown quito gen.
eral durin sfths past two or three years, and
the sight Of Q girl QUILTED with a camera was
