talented gentleman as all the world
knows, and a very companionab'e fell

the idea that he parades Broadway to De

is his habit, however, to stroll up and
down tue city's great thoroughfare
when It is most crowded. Everybody
knows him, Men and women stare at
him, and nudge their companions as

fond OF being seen on dress parade. so
i, Henry Irving and Ellen Terry. The
former stalks with his nose up in the
air, correctly dressed, and shifting the
early spring air. Miss Terry is easily
pjcked out, She is fond of eccentric
costumes and big punches of roses.
Mrs, Langtry owns a stable full OIL
blooded horses, but she likes to tonch
elbows with the vast throng and be az
mired. She smiles sweetly at those sac
knows. and often stops to talk to little
children she meets, and frequently she
takes them into confectionery shop
and buys them candies enough to make
them ill for week. Lester Wallack,
although no longer young and sprightly,
seldom misses his afternoon walk on
Broadway. He dresses in splendid
style. He has been reported as the
owner of over 200 suits of clothing, and
has collection of 300 canes. Even
Joe Jefferson, RIP Van Wrinkle, can't
resist the temptation to show himself,
and he is often seen walking along IN an
easy, graceful way, swinging Dig
walking stick. Demure little maggie
Mitchell picks her way through the
crowd in a leisurely way. She lGoks
more like Quaker deaconess than an
actress. Few persons know her, ana
she attracts no attention. Fanny
Davenport. looking old from hard
work IS Often seen. She has many &C
ouaintances and is kept busy bowling to
them. She dresses in neat garments,
and often wears her valuable diamonds
on the streets. Cara Morris IS not
above showing herself either. She is
usually seen in company with her nus
band. She has very extensive ward
robe. and is seldom seen twice in one
week wearing the same dress. Rhes'
Rose Caghlan. Ada Rehan, Pauline
Hall. Richard Mansfield, Dixey, Nat
Goodwin. Bob Hilliard, Steele Mac
KAYE. and scores of others exhibit them
selves on Broadway. They can't help
it. There is no thoroughfare like it
ia the country. No street in the United
States is so crowded with beautiful
women and dashing men, as Broadway
in the afternoon. Everybody goes
there to see and be seen.
