and women who take the center OF the
pavement 10 talk over the latest choice
bit OF news-how Wilson came 10 back
down and out of the judgship, or
whether Mrs. p is wearing last years
hat this spring: they don't get off
70 one side and get -aYaY.- partly.
from the crowd. but plant themselves
right In the road OF pedestrians and dis
commode them. Try and walk up or
down Broadway in New York city on the
wrong side OF the pavement sometime:
