Some take to the road and others disappear
into that limbo for departed stage iayorites

OF beauty in a Broadway burlesque two
years ago was acting In one OF the yarlSy
theators on the Bowery. She was playing
a daily matinee in addition TO the evening
performance.
The police parade on May Q proved
finally that no popular melody has this

seated on a bench In Central Park, yes

"Fadder- did as requested.

There was CONSERVATION among the
women passengers on Brooklyn trolley
car tho other day a. they saw tho car cut
across a funeral procession. Two Of the
women screamed. One recovered and
| voiced her sentiments thus:
The ideal Right across funeral.
That motormAn ought to bS ashamed OF
The driver who had been cut o1 hurled
an oath at the motorman and the funeral
proceeded on It's way. The incident fur
nlshed gossip for the women all the way
to the stores downtown.
The conductor smiled as he held out his
fingers doubled up, and said TO a man on
his end Of the car:
i had my fingers crossed.
What looks like a bit Of real country
may be seen at Broadway and lO5th street
where the old Strauss homestead ct ands
back about fifty feet from The sidewalk.
| The front Of the house and the verandas
are covered with purple wistaria, now In
full bloom; the lilac bushes are all budding
and the fruit trees are covering the ground
With a snowfall Of pink and white petals.
Another pretty glimpse Of spring Is to
! be had In West Eghty-siXth street. On
either side the street y row Of young
| are Of uniform size and shape. Riders In
the elevated trains are learning to look out
a. they rush past this attractive crosstown
street.
you would be surprised at some Of the
requests We have from women. said a
clerk in a Broadway book store. There Is
one woman who comes in here frequently
10 look over the paper backed novels and
after she has selected what she wants In the
cheapest sort Of reading matter she gives
us an order to have them bound for her in
expensive volumes She explained TO me,
Of her reading paper backs. but that be did
not know the difference II they were well
bound. He simply thinks that all trash
Is paper backed, she said.
Many persons purchase dummies TO
All up their libraries, and still another
woman insists on buying all the books she
can discover that are bound in the tones OF
red or maroon. II seems her library Is
done In red and she wants the color scheme
carried out regardless.
The police Of the vHgrancy squad ran
across a new sort Of offender on the East
Side the other day-a "capper' for a beg
gar. He spent his time walking up and
down the block and every time he passed
the mendcant dropped penny In the out
stretched palm.
The fearless small boy did naturally some
thing that a man would have hesitated
10 do at all He had little square package
in his hand and, wanting to know some
thing, he walked up Alongside cavalry
cop who was sitting on his horse by the curb
in Broadway, without a word, and swung
that square package up under the cavalry
cons strrup to call his attention.
