The CLINT of superiority in the eyes
of the boys who shine shoes via cleo
tricity, when one of the old-fashioned
shoe sinners passes their shops
The lacy title of shoe store on
57th ST., "Clinique des Pieds Sem
sibles" The antiseptic look of
the town around six ayem, after the
long evening has cleansed the city's
face Men trying to clutch onto
their summer sun-tanS via barber
shop sunlampS. A bitter winter war
between the machines and nature.
Sweet poppas Esquiring baby
stare blends to the silk and satin
spots. But they never battle in joy
like the young couples in the two
bit ice cream parlors The dex-
terity of those who sit in shop VIM
dows and build cigars all day. The
swift, sure weavings of their fingers
show the artistry of these minor
league Rembrandts.
The plushy conditions the Rock
cites have. Swanky dressing rooms,
and the best in equipment for relax
alton. They're the only chorines in
town treated like the stars they are
. The ear-serenade of the town
in the middle of the night, about
ayem, when the city settles down
to a whisper.
Pretty gal barkers urging you to
see the wonders of New York by bus.
But their empty stares tell you they
don't think there's anything wonder
full about New York The glare
of Broadway light plotting out
superior sight: A blue-robed sky
stitched with sparkling stars.
The first nights beautifully
drowned in sables, silks and stuffed
shirts. Only the detached drama
critics not getting drunk on the sat-
my atmosphere and just being them
selves The people roller-skating
at the Radio City rink wearing
swanky costumes, and the kids
scooting along the various side
streets wearing their Joy like a flag
unfurled.
The sadness rampant along the
waterfronts. Filled with sparkling
scenery and ragged knick-knacks
that used to call themselves human
beings The lady who brings
a camp chair to 47th and Broadway
and sits there enjoying the cleo
tricks. She gets everything the cine
ma could give except Bingo.
The gigantic loneliness of the mas
sive empty Yankee Stadium
The rains sweeping people off the
Main Stem, giving it a chance to
breathe. And chance to show it's
pretty face that humans clutter up
. . The description of a woman
that fits most of those who cover
night club chairs: Vogue on the
outside and vague on the inside" ..
The snooty eateries with their Jew
eled atmosphere; where everything
is the best, except the people.

church. She says she will not lay her

she intends to take her religion with
her and praise Allah at the dance.
