saIlie Joe Duston's 0 Party.

Yesterday the hearts of the little
ones that were invited to Sallie Joe
Duston's party were certainly sad
as the clouds looked blaeker and
blacs er and the rain fell harder
and harder and visions of the day
pleasure foaied away rs each little
face was pi essed against the win.
dow pane wondering and nsking
mamma would it rain all dayf Sud
denly as If by magic n good fairy
appeared. This same good fairy
assured the mothers that their chill
dren would be taken care OF and
returned safely home, hen waved
ner golden wand and in a few min
utes we arrived at the beautiful
Duston home. The little ones were
conducted up stairs by their little
hostess and after depositing mys-
terious little bundle with her. for
it was her birthday and removing
their wraps they all assembled in
the beautiful double parlors, where
Mrs. Ed Ringer, whose girlish heart
seemed to enter into their childish
plays, entertained them until Mrs.
Duston called them into the dining
room. Words are inadequate to
describe the beauty Of this room.
1t was decorated in white; in the
center of the table was an immense
white cake with the name of Sal
lie Joe and seven candles on it. All
kinds of fruits, salads. cakes and
cream made the dining-room de-
eidedly the most attractive: Here
Mrs. Duston, Mrs. Doc Fielder,
Miss Lille Duston and Mrs. Earth
ing made the little ones as happy
as did Mrs. Ed Ringer in the par
lor. The little light hearts and
bright, beaming happy faces put
to shame old father time and even
drove away the ram. All those
unable to attend certainly missed a
treat. There must have been at
least sixty children present aud
each one received beautiful souvs
enir. To you, Miss S lllie Joe, the
kindest wish that | can think of
for you in that you may live long
enough to make many hearts as
happy as the members of your fam
lily have made those sweet little up
turned faces that late this after
noon bade you all adieu with the
assurance shining in their faces as
we'll as in their lips that "th,y all
had a good time - FRIEND.

There are scores Of short haired
Young women in scant skirts of tho
kind seen in the east side ooncert
halls, and alongside OF them aro
photographs of young fellows from
II to 25 dressed for some Of the va.
riety acts seen at the museums On
the amateur nights, at which fn.
ture comedians find an opportunitv
to exploit their budding talents in
public and are moderately sure az
protection from the audience. These
are in pairs-teams they would
doubtless call themselves-and in
attitude they initiate their more ia.
nous prototypes. 1t would not he
possible to say what budding gen.
fuses were among those unpromisina
faces. From among such as these
came Weber and Fields, and one 70.
hinder of that fact survives TODAY
in faded picture of the two come
dams which hangs in one of the
Bowery establishments. But this
theatrical phase of the pictures is
only ugly, cheap and Disseminating.
It is in the sentimental significance
of the photographs that their chief
interest lies.
! Apparently it is the Italians who
form the majority of the patronage
OF the shops. They are there in the
uniforms of their navy rs we'll as in
the best Sunday garments of Mul-
berry street. Two or three pictures
OF old women standing stifliy by ia
bles have evidently been taken to
send back home as an evidence Of
prosperity. although there is little
enough of it to be seon, judging by
ordinary standards. In several
places there are pictures OF two
friends holulng each others hands,
and two or three cooks not ashamed
of their profession have been proud
ly taken wearing every sign OF their
calling, from the white cap to the
apron, and doing 1t SO seriously that
there could be no suggestion of their
being on masquerade. Infant prodi-
gies clasping the musical instru-
men,s W hich made them distinguish
cd are abundant, and it is significant
that among these the mandolin is
most frequently seen. Dancing chill
dren in fancy costume are common
enough to explain the prosperity Of
the east side dancing schools. All
the BoweV photographs are docu-
ments of the life in that neighbor
hood. and they illustrate that far
more strikingly than the most popu-
lar shops along Fifth avenue When
photograph is taken on the Bow
cry, it is usually done with some
specific purpose, to commemorate
some particular event or exhibit
some achievement. 1t is rarely done,
