noon sun saw a young woman sitting
in front of one of the free shows and
beer halls in short flannel skirt drip
ping with sea water. Her arms were
bare and one of her stockings hadbeen
removed. Later on, when the sputter-
ing electric lights made bright the
streets, when the concert halls emitted
the dismal croakings of the so-called
singers and the uncanny poundings Of
pianos which sounded like the beatings
of tom-toms of savage races then the
thousands and thousands who had been
arriving since early morning choked
up these alleyways known as streets
and reveled in a madness of folly to
which the Saturnalian feasts of Rome
would seem tame, istless and inane.

less Senegualese, but here in Greater

couchee-couchee. They have let down
the bars of common decency, and de-
graded men and shameless women are
staggering through the UBIQUITOUS
streets of a licensed sinkhole Of licen-
tiousness, beer-soaked and moral
blunted.
And yet Coney Island is a great
pleasure ground for the common peo-
pie. In the daytime it is not so bad.
On the beach one may see thousands Of
merry bathers. They have come out for
a good time and they evidently have it.
All seem to be in the best Of good ma
ture. An evidence of this was shown
on the day that was there. Sudden
~, within view of the 10000 persons
who lined the beach, the life saving
corps rushed to their boat at the wa
ter's edge, carrying middle-aged man,
well dressed. He struggled and kicked
and shouted, but to- no avail. They
placed him in the boat and rowed out
distance of $50 feet or so. There they
began to rock the boat until he fell
into the water. They allowed him to
go down twice and then started with
him toward the shore. About so feet
further they threw him overheard
again, and for the third time gave him
a ducking when IS feet from land. T.
When the crowds saw the mans ap-
pearance they cried: "Outrage! Out
rage!" thinking he had been ''ducked''
for mere wantonness, but when the
life savers explained that he had been
caught playing "Peeping Tom" at the
women's dressing-rooms they hooted
him off the beach. s..@. a....EE
If you enter Coney Island from one
of the trolley lines your first impress
sion is that you are in country town
during county fair week. The bui:d-
ings are close together and are one and
two-story frames. Surf street, which is
the most respectable thoroughfare in
the place, extends along the entire
front of the resort and is lined with
merry-go-rounds, restaurants, soda wa
ter, lemonade and peanut stands, with
one or two German beer gardens and
few saloons. Running to the sea are
numerous cross streets, the most i'm.
portant of which is called the Bow.

Just off the "Bowery" there is a
circus-quite an equestrian show,
with "lady' riders, ringmaster, clown

is eating he may hear, the circus

the "lady"riders through the top Of
the tent flap. At his side the crowds
are passing in an endless stream
the working girls and their escorts,
perspiring and happy; the mechanic
and his wife and strings of little
ones; the painted woman and the
loafer; the innocent and the vicious;
the ignorant and the crafty. After

Over on the big iron pier they are
playing waltz music. Couples are
dancing on the $50 feet of waxed

comes a cool, refreshing breeze.
From ones seat by the railing one
may see the long stretch Of ocean and
catch glimpses of white sails. At the
next pier steamer loaded with more
people from the sun-baked city is
landing. They are coming in streams
from the wharf. On the other side
is heard the clang of the trolley bells.
They are coming by thousands by
land and by sea. #
The sun sinks lower and lower
and passes out Of view. The dark
ness has come and the streets Of the
imitation town are aglare with the
torches and electric lights. The de-
bauch has begun. The mechanic and
his family have gone. Only the bold

scarlet woman, the criminal, the sod
den reyeler and the summer alone
remain.
just beyond are the green fields Of
Long Island and from between the
trees shine the lights Of the peaceful
homesteads. But there on the sea-
shore amid the quietness Of farm
life is the most depraved spot IN
