witness "Carmen," and also a
"drama of life," "Tricked by a Victim," and also "a comedy drama full
of pep" entitled "Good Old Pop," productions of the "Premier Picture
Corporation." Announcements of scenes of tornadoes, the Great War, of
"Paris fashions," and, ah, yes! of "beauty films" line the way.

To turn to the home. The people of this part of town dwell, according
to their shops, entirely amid "period and art furniture." And it would
seem, by the remarkable number of places in this quarter where this is
displayed for sale, that they dwell amid a most amazing amount of it.
These marts of household gods are of two kinds: ones of imposing size,
with long windows stretching far down the cross street, and dealing in
shining "reproductions," and the tiny, quaint, intimate, delightful
kind of thing, where it is said on a sign on a gilded chair that
"artistic picture hanging by the hour" is done.

The fascinating places are the more alluring. Herein rich jumbles are,
of tapestries, clocks of all periods--including a harvest of those of
the "grandfather" era--fire-screens, brass kettles, andirons,
stained-glass, artistic lamps in endless variety, the latest things in
pillow cushions, book racks, wall papers, wall "decorations" and
"hangings," draperies, curtains, cretonnes. The "decorators" deal,
too, in "parquet floors," and flourish and increase in their kind in
response, evidently, to the volume of demand for "upholstering" and
"cabinet work." And the floors of this part of town must hold rich
stores of Oriental rugs, as importers of these are frequent on our way.

The higher civilisations turn, naturally, to refinements of religious
thought. What the Salvation Army is to Fourteenth Street, what the
Rescue Mission is to the Bowery, the Christian Science Reading Room is
to this stretch of Broadway, and there is no trimmer place to be seen
on your stroll. Then, one of the marks of our culture to-day is the
aesthetic cultivation of the primitive. Our neighbourhood is invited,
on placards in windows, to assemble "every Sunday evening" to enjoy the
"love stories of the Bible."

For the rest, you would see on your stroll, for man cannot live by
taste and the spirit alone, sundry places of business concerned with
real estate, electrical accoutrement, automobile accessories, toys, the
investment and safeguarding of treasure, and so on, and particularly
with ales, wines, liquors, and cigars. Each and all of these, h
