THE COST OF STYLE

Huh, he is "a real gent. all right. He sells

Rose, admiringly, pouring oil on the troubled
waters. She had picked IL out, anyway.
CROWDS BLOCK PROGRESS.
Rosie and Hermann kept on up the avenue
Their progress was slow. for from curb TO stoop
line the walks were crowded. In front Of the
big fashionable churches the walks
blocked. Progress way or the other often
was halted for Eve or ten minutes, until finally
as one couple after another disentangled them
selves and moved north and south. the knot
slowly Strengthened out
Only two Of the Easter parades did Rosie and
Hermann lose before they got back to their be-
loved Grand street. Just below Both street and
around the Circle paraded the Colored Branch or
the Washladies' Union accompanied by the hard
resting husbands. The husbands wore dta-
monds" and yellow spats. but what the bigger
and better half wore IS past description. The
color scheme OF that part OF the town looked
like intoxicated ronbow-and then some
more Down in Chinatown the Hip Sings and
the On Leongs polished up their "forty-fves
and put better edge on their ceavers, and
lOnged for tho removal OF the edict from the
dearly beloved and most wOTshIpful empress
that any Tong man killing his rival here would
have their living ancestors sent posthaste to
time they took Chinese lily bulbs to Sunday
schools for their teachers in exchange for Easter
lilies.
Rosie and Hermann did not reach Grand
street until late In the afternoon. Rosie drew a
sigh OF relief IT'S good 30 get back" she said
Here's where you see the real people, after all.
From the BOwery eastward they went. Il
don't know" said Hermann after while, but
somehow or another it don't seem right It's the
same old street. and it's tho same old crowd,
but 1t don't seem right nobow."
1T don't" Rosie agreed. IAN the girls are
out. too. / wonder what tho matter is"
They picked their way between purple skirts
and wonderfully striped trousers almost to Allen
street.
THE DEAR DEPARTED.
Sure, I know" Hermann broke out at last
'Glostein amt with us no more. There's the
hshin' club there with them stylish
mourning bands the coats. Sure. won't the
pincckers miss him. though. He a good
man. yes. Aud we won't Charley Lynch.
what 1t last year"
There's Louis Zeltner over there with them
fine gloves and the new cane I guess he's
goin for some goulash."
Yes he always does at 2 O'Clock. There's
'FlOrrie Sullivan too. Him in that check suit
see him? There's only eight checks on the whole
suit
'Ach, and look at Rosie the lawyer Did yer
ever see his new diamond? He wears one every
Passover. My, but he must be rich. and he's
president Of the Essex Market Bar Association.
Such splendid man; and there's the Duke OF
Essex street. Who's that behind him in the
purple princess and the yellow hat? Why,
that's Rosie OshcoarOwsky, whose father runs
the polite butcher shot in Orchard street. And
there's Mrs. Schnappman. who runs the milli-

did hire an automobile to stand in front OF the
door half an hour every day.

much fashion was forcing dazed expression.

And the Easter parade was over.
