tie museums, animated by the art of
my compatriots (the saleswoman who
showed me the Chinese objects was
from Montmorency), / could almost for
get that there was in this immense
organization much that was rigidly
mechanical.
The Easements were organized like
a railroad system. Travelling con-
veyors brought the merchandise sold
in different departments. They speed
out from here as many as $4,000
packages in "a hours. An ingenious
process enables them to divide the
merchandise. first according to dis
tricts and then according to streets.
Before delivery, IL the article is to be

solvency of clients. system Of 250,

take every precaution against them.
Advertising I'm America.
This enormous effort multiplies
Itself by advertising. One realizes
it on Broadway at night on what is
called the White Way. 1t begins
with a Woolworth store in which
nothing is sold at a price above 10
cents and where one can, neverthe-
less, outfit a household-hardware

furniture, books (the most amusing
pell-melD. The creator OF these
stores promised himself to open one
in every city Of more than 10000 in
habitants. With his profits he built
the great business cathedral which
dominates lower Manhattan. A few
steps further on is a restaurant
whose windows are garnished with
grapefruit, in which the client, after
serving himself, consumes his repast
on the right arm of his chair en-
larged to form a small table.
Advertising is mistress at this
always animated crossroad. Green,
yellow and red jewels glitter in con-
tinuouS movement. You cannot pos
sibly escape the fact that a certain
brand of chewing gum must be your
choice. Golden light falls in cas-
cades. Electricity designs embroid-
cries, cuts laces and flows from in
exhaustible fountains. Little imagi-
nation and not much invention, but
an overwhelming mass of signs
which parade, which turn, which
eclipse themselves to reappear brill

stories of the New York Times
Building are enveloped with
blanket OF flame, so active that 1t
can be seen, am told, from the
open sea. A luminous bell swings
to announce to all the echoes of the
world the superiority of such a razor
or such soap. No harmony of
tone; on the contrary, a deliberate
discord, a shock. In spite of every
thing, the obsession begins. After
having protested against the immod-
