Bootblacks in Liveru

There is a new office building in Wall street that is piling luxury on luxury In the way of fittings and gen. eral accessories to the point where it bids fair to be close rival to the mar ble and plush palaces of hotels up- town. The latest outbreak in this direction is the uniformins of the official bootblack of the building in a pages livery, blue trousers with a gold piping on the seams, a pages short tunic with ever so many round gilt buttons down the front and dark blue straight visored cap with the name of the company that owns she structure in gold letters on the front. Of course, this bootblack page IS an Italian. and he looks ex- tremely hot and uncomfortable in his padded coat.
