from Twenty-third street up the Fifth
avenue, in with the procession. The
prettiest women in the gayest frocks,
the snartest-looking nurses, aproned
and capped, with their charges in per-
ambulators, gay with bright ribbons and
hne laces, all sorts and conditions of
men, all kinds of carriages, and, indeed,
everything that can walk, manage to be
out on Saturday afternoon with the
rest of the world. The feminine part
oft drifts into the big soda water places,
crltises each others gowns and bonnets,
as we'll as the favor of the preferred
drink. In their little bonnets and fancy
! lace bibs, the women all look young and
innocent, and in the spring sun
shine il is pity that we can
not think they are all young and
innocent. Constitute yourself one of a

out. l will stand beside you and tell

of the people who go ito help make up
