Once It was vs of it's high-ceilinged brick houses osed, gray and treacherous, twisting n the street became bohemian, cos ard one might hear a score of lan- l odd, whiskerish aspect sat in front tered, sheltered from the pavement es. Now it is bourgeois, contented, WIS of the east side. They are not masses of flowers. Extraordinary, mal- formed, unknown vegetables in the mar ket baskets on their way home. A Jewish market of pushcarts on which every sort of thing can be bought and sold cheap are stacked, Gramercy and it's many hospitals and its swift am balances and the odor of iodoform from the free clinics. The man means bare-headed women. Russian restau- rants, Roumanian, Greek, Italian, Yid- dish, under unintelligible signs. The restaurant where the greatest cimbal- ist in. the world" plays nightly. A cimbal is something like a zither and is played on by little wooden hammers.
 On either side now is the gypsy dis trict, but the Romanies at this season are on the road in their red and yellow dresses and their necklaces of gold coins. When winter comes they drift back in their infirm wagons, to trade horses and tell fortunes. The soloist of this restaurant has a superb voice. Almost operatic in. quality. But he embarrassed American customers by singing at them in some clicking dia- lect. The others of the audience laugh heartily. A Salvation Army officer, spick and span, with tattered old wo- man elinging to his arm. A theatre in which English is rarely heard and from which many an European act has been salved by Broadway.
 And 50 CArystie street, narrow, one way, cluttered with children, carpeted at intervals with odorous refuse, the gateway to the crowded quarters. Torn papers blowing in the dust. Dark-eyed, pretty women watching from the upper windows. An inconsistent street, for it is a street of jewellers. One looks in upon them at their work, tapping with little hammers, graving with delicate tools. Dealers in diamonds and gems carry their stocks in their vest pockets. The most ordinary sign in the street windows is "gold, silver and platinum bought and sold"
