THE WORKERS FROM THE LOFT

But after a time the first impression
Of the doom OF things passes. You see
that this vague stream is composed OF
men. women, youths and girls. They
are the workers from the loft buildings

Of the girls are remarkably pretty anc
some Of the men worthy OF the women
in looks. More than once you see

see that in the Waldorf as well. AS

The girls are chatting in many tongues

as the line often recurs il is soon fairly

As the philosopher Of the street con
tinues al his task he finds many other
factors in his study Of the currents
He discovers that virtually every hour
in the twenty-four has its set currents
though there is a lull in many currents

The current day may be said 10 begin
at a. m. with the rattle Of heavy mix
and provision wagons through the
streets The last of the small currents
Of late jewellers disappears and the
sturdy working population OF New
York and its suburbs occupies the
stage centre. Then there follows the
gradual rise Of the great main currents
in their movements 10 work then the
morning period Of individual orbits as
workers travel from one place OF busl-
ness 10 another for the transaction OF
affairs: later the luncheon hour cur

THINGS THAT ALTER A NEIGH
BORHOOD'S CURRENT.

The opening of a new structure,
which many persons regularly visit,
Immediately alters the currents Of the
neighborhood. The appearance several
years ago of the Hippodrome at 43d st.
and Sixth ave. at once brought to allco
verging streets new currents. Through

had not taken that road before at just

M what YOU have seen Of the currents
between City Hall Park and this point.
You have observed a general move
ment toward the cast. from Broadway
through the side streets. The north
and south flows were practically equal
and extended. without breaking. for
short distances. They. too, after re"
blocks turned toward the east.
But above Union Square the currents
Of the loft workers change abruptly.
There is still great food movement
toward the Ghetto, but Of up current
there is substantially none. Every
thing is south on the west side OF
BROADWAY. At block intervals the
southern stream loses a few OF its
hurrying units, who join the eastward
movement
II YOU step westward through any OF
the side streets in this section you will
observe still another current. IL IS
that of the after Is o'clock employees u

Germs. Its general drift is westward
