As a plain. cold. matter OF fact, a real Bowery
girl Is as rare as a chrysanthemum In July.
The Bowery nowadays Is almost entirely devoted
to business uses. Except the tramps, ~hoaters,
and impecunious tourists who find nocturnal

westward in the morning and eastward

with what there was before the establishment

the cable system on the Third avenue line. A
stranger In New York desiring to see pearls OF
the feminine east side population would be bet:
ter repaid for his trouble by taking a stroll
along Division street than by walking through
the Bowery. Decidedly more women pass
through Grand street in a day than through the
Bowery, and the latter Is no longer truly typical
of New York. but rather a resort for strangers
and sightseers. -,
Nevertheless, in other cities than this a

Some time ago I heard a story Of q gold mine

He recollected in his childhood, about fifty
years ago. that . party with four elephants

Keeping = Toy Balloon In Motion IL the
Way this Culture Il Cultivated.

The only apparatus used in psycho-physical
culture classes 10 n balloon-one Of the bright
red balloons that you buy for a few pennies in
the street. In the hands of one trained in this
exercise the balloon performs antics that arc
wonderful to behold. 1t is tossed about with the
tips OF the fingers in a score OF different ways,
and 30 expert does a person become now and
then that che can keep three balloons in motion
at once. 1t is the liveliest kind OF exercise. and
makes the lips and cheeks glow and the
eyes shine. and, what Is OF equal Importance, 1t
brings into play nearly every muscle in the
body. Psycho-physical culture Is rather an ap-
palling name at first. but the rewards It PROM
iscs Its d~evotees health. grace, and beauty
make up for any trouble one may have with its
photography. Many other women in town not
only attend lectures on the subject of psyche
physical. science. but take their children with
them. One of the principle. Of this culture is TO
render exercise as beneficial as possible: II must
be OF a nature. to attract the mind AS well as to
to occupy the body. For instance. when exercis-
ing the arms IL is much more interesting to
initiate the motions of the sower. the reaper, the
chopper of wood, than simply to strike ont to
the right or left, without any special intention.
