THE SHOPKEEPERS along
Wisconsin avenue vie with
one another to produce un-
usual store fronts. One trails
a vine over his door, a vine
growing from a huge wooden
tub. Another sets an Old Eng
nsh showcase in the small
front yard of a house con-
yerted to a shop. A florist puts
ported plants in a street ven
doris cart on the sidewalk in
front of his show window.
A rooster cart filed with
bags Of peanuts and with
steam coming from a vent in
the top sits in front of a tiny
novelty shop. An old lantern
style post lamp. with a single
bare electric bulb burning in
side, sets off a ~lampmaker's
establishm Doors are
painted in brilliant colors.
Wisconsin avenue here is a
street of c~onglomeration,
mixture contrast.
A modern store-front masks
the lower part of an ancient
building. But Just above,
where the decorators left of,
the SCARED stone arches and
gingerbread of an earlier ar
chitecture show.
A dying building bears the
legend "BealPs Express" on its
red brick front. The building
empty, sandwiched be-
tween two busy shops, and
those window panes which re-
main unbroken are covered
with dust. Not far away a
bright red soft-drink vending
machine juts onto the side
walk.
A curlycued wrought-iron
balcony decorates a building
near N street, and on the one
next door a fire escape of more
recent vintage Staggers down
the front. Cobbled streets
stretch off to left and right
from paved Wisconsin.

Laborers and women in furS

Even the streetcarS passing
through bear exotic names
Friendship Heights, Glen

And halfway between M and
