exhausted city atmosphere is driven

politely but most insistantly relieves
you of your hat and cane, and most
gracefully takes charge of your lady's
coat.
Inside the cabaret a smiling waiter
attaches himself to you and shadows
you ~devotedly for the remainder o.:
your stay. He finds just the right
table for you, brings your Tom Col,
Inns and your lady's orangeade and
two small sandwiches modest or,
der which should cost about so cents
But does it?
lust wait until he brings your
check!
While you are dancing he hovers
near your table, watching to see that
no fashionable pirate carries off your
lady's gloves and vanity bag, and
guarding your half-eaten sandwiches
from being devoured by else
in your absence.
All of which jealous service is duly
charged in your check. which IL

So you sigh inwardly, while outward

and carelessly wave aside the waiter,
deferential thanks.
On leaving, you find the devote,
footman again awaiting you with you
hat and cane and your lady's Goa
and an air of expectancy.
The air of expectancy means anoth

You pay 1t like a little man, ami tn,

The dances were very nice indeed
The music was divine, but the littl,
whisper of a sandwich left you jus
as hungry as ever, and you go ava,
wondering If 0 had your money

Then you console yourself witt tn,
thought that you don't grudge the tip

But the point is: Did you tip tn,

l. No, indeed. The tired walters d.

One Place Not Mythical.
There is one place, however. which
hasn't been relegated to the mythical
There most certainly Is still q
Coney island. And whether you 60
quietly with a friend or whether you
go with a crowd In a labeled and
megaphoned sightseeing car, 1t is the
same Coney island, with its blaze Of
lights and its blare of orchestras and
it's bewildering whirl of things to ride
and things to see. and things to do
and things to eat and drink, the latter
consisting chiefly of hot dogs" and
beer.
But, however genuine Coney may
be. there's no denying the spirit OF
graft that ~pervades the atmosphere OF
skyscraper land.
On every hand some person or some
organic, ton is trying to get some
thing for nothing, and if you are veal

25-cent silk stockings, and serves yor
just right.

fit of the too credulous tourist, who
cheerfully pays his dollar to see a
Chinatown that doesn't ever exist.
Then he pays another dollar and
joins another sightseeing party to
visit the deadly precincts CT the Bow
cry.
1t would be too cruel to tell them
there is no Bowery, just as there is no
Chinatown. except in ancient history.
A Revised Bowery.
For the Bowery has been revised
and expurgated and fumigated, and
partially civilized, until now it is no
worse to the outward eye than some
portions of Fourteenth street or Sixth
avenue. And the little shops and
vocations of its deniZens, If not strictly
clean, come safely within legal bounds.
You might easily get on the Bowery
and not know it at all.
Where you expect to find the abode
of thugs and thieves, you find moth
ing more reprehensible than second
hand clothes shops.

something like the rabbit itobacco OF
cross vine you used to smoke when
you were a kid at school, and thought
you were doing something very
wicked.
The opium den" you pay your dol
lar to see is very likely a laundry
when there are no tourists due.
II you happen to be in touch with
such people as newspaper editors and
other fortunate beings who are on the
inside of things, you will quickly learn
to shun the tourists car.
The best way to see the biggest city
in America is simply to live in 1t, and
go about to such places as may take
your fancy. If you want to be
thrilled with the Bowery and China

for there's nothing to see.
