New York and Its People

"The New York girl," according to Mr Alexander Sass, the Australian artist, who has just returned from America, '< is the smartest-dressed girl in all the world. This applies to all girls, from those who work in factories to those in the highest society. "There is no home life in New Torlc. People sleep in apartments and eat in restaurants. "Thero is never a drunken man in the streets. In the course of a year Mr Sass saw one. j "New York is a smokeless, dustless city. Traffic goes on day and night, in the subway, on the elevated, and the street cars. "Public honesty is most pronounced. At the newspaper stalls people drop their coins, take up their change, and walk away with the paper. These stalls may be unattended for hours, but never a coin is missing. If a parcel of mail matter is too large to go into the box it is left at the foot of the box until the postman comes round. No one ever touches anything. "In the Exchange Buffet, whero ! 20,000 to 100,000 people dine daily, no ; bill is ever handed to the diner, who j merely tells the cashier how much ho j has eaten and pays the money. No questions are asked. No one ever rej fuses to pay the due amount." !
