The fast and furious fun of Coney Island
is to be found at Brighton, West Brighton,
and the West End. Here are to be found a
multiplicity of side-shows and other de-
vices for catching the dimes of the
afternoon and evening crowds from the
city Just now one of these is II
genuine encampmcnt of gypsics. There are
half Il dozen SWarthy men and women,
speaking with II strong rural English accent,
but distinctly gypsy-like in appearance. The
women tell fortunes, and sell love-charms.
Another enterprise which thrivcs to some
extent on sentimentality is devoted to the
portrayal of future husbands and wives to
curious SWANS and maidcns. You purchase

One of the showiest young women at the

One Of the hotels at this end of the island
