MOLUME 44, NO BROADWAY TUNNEL? ‘The Pennsylvania is perfecting its plans for the long! tunnel from the Jersey meaows to Manhattan and push- | ing the premliminary work of construction. The work of boring the tunnel from Brooklyn Heights to the lower elty 1s in progress. The original North River tunnel be- low Christopher street is advancing toward completion, Yet at the very time of this triple demonstration of the entire feasibility of engineering undertakings of this kind Mr. Belmont informs the Rapid Transit Commission that he is prepared to abandon the Broadway tunnel be- cause of the “growing spirit of antagonism to any work involving the further opening of the streets.” If he can- not build this additional subway by the old method of the opon ditch he would prefer not to build it at all. The direct power of public senttment is rarely more strikingly exhibited than in the effect of this “spirit of antagonism” in preventing the repetition on downtown Broadway of the deplorable engineering muss which well nigh depopulated the upper sections of that street. Whether or not there is to be a tunnel under this main thorqughfare of retail trade there is pretty certainly not to be a ditch through it, with a renewal of the old perils to pedestrians and demoralization of business. The opposition at least has carried its point. ...NO. 18,888. MOVING TO THE SUBURBS. ‘There seems not to have been as much moving on this Oct. 1 as last year; the modern flat as now improved offers a degree of desirability in the matter of luxury, zai with which the city-loving tenant is fain to rest. content. >a Besides, the offer of a month off is not now so generously made by the agent. The October moving day is of somewhat recent growth 2 in popularity. The practice now obtains of changing 4 one’s office on May 1 and one's abotle six months later. How extensive is this May shifting of business addresses is Indicated by the change of 10,000 telephone calls. Of how great the fall migration of families is the busy times of the 200 storage companies with their 2,000 vans give &n impressive idea. The development of the van itself to 4 capacity of 16 feet by 51¢x6 is eloquent for those who recall its rudimentary beginnings inthe covered truck. One of the distinctive features of this fall's moving fay was that the procession was mostly headed toward the northwest—through Harlem into the Bronx. The {n- crease in population of this outlying district within the ‘vast ten years is but little lye than amazing. While from 41890 to 1900 the population of Manhattan increased 29 Der cent., a large figure, that of the Bronx increased by 427 per cent.; where in the former year this borough had £8,000 inhabitants in 1900 it had 200,537. In the same Derlod Queens increased its population 75 per cent. This development is chiefly due to rapid transit, so ealled. The real rapid transit which the next few years will provide will stimulate a still greater growth of the suburban boroughs, The wise tenant of moderate means feeks the detached house which these districts give him, whereby he has his “country in town,” as it were, a Jawn and a bit of garden with easy access to the white light lane at night if he desires. 9 It is a boon he has to go a distance to obtain.

A popular novel of some years ago, which had for Its theme the story of wheat speculotion and for its climax 4 scene of vivid realism in the pit on the day ofa pantie, has been adapted for stage presentation. In order that the greatest fidelity to fact may be maintained the author ef the stage version has engaged a former wheat mag- nate, experienced in trading and notorlous for the col- apse of the corner he engineered, to superintend the re- ‘bearsal of the panic scene. The spectacle of Mr. Joseph Leiter in this obliging advisory role will be most edifying as showing the ad- vance of stage realism. Why was Vanderbilt not con- sulted when “The Henrietta” was put on the boards? Mr. Bronson Howard missed a great opportunity.

SS p WAAC § The Fall Fashions Show Freakiness. ‘ | SAW a Woman this morning with a lace curtaim on her hat,” said the Cigdr Store Man. “I wouldn't be surprised to see a woman with a bale of hay on her hat these days,” sald the Man Higher Up. “These new styles {n men’s and women's clothes are all to the freak. I was riding in a street car the other day when a large lady got aboard and staggered down the aisle, She couldn’t see. Her face was bandaged with veils. “She sat down and began to peel off the veils. There was a blue vell on top of her hat, streaming out behind like the tailboard of a wagon. Over that she had a@ brown veil which hung down In front of her face. She | Skinned up the brown veil until it made a bunch around her forehead, and under that ehe had a white veil so thick you could hardly get a flash at her face through it. | This veil came down to her mouth. If it had gone below her chin she would have smothered to death. “IT got to keeping cases on women’s hats after that, qi and found that nearly all of them wear lids that look like bargain counters. When I asked a couple of them / why they wore so many vells they safd because it was the style. But I framed up the reason.for the style all | right, all right. “Women riding in automobiles have to wear a bundle .,_i of yells to keep part of the road over which they are travelling from settling into their faces. The millinera got next to this and set the style. Now you see girls and women who wouldn't know how to get into an auto- mobile wearing the automobile woman's collection of veils, and the funny part of it is that most of them k think that the bluff they are chucking is in right. Hi ‘Another feature of woman’s attire that puts me in @ solitaire guessing contest is the fashion of wearing silver buttons fastened to the outside of their street gowns. Many of the women you meet are so encumbered with silver or aluminum buttons that they look like an Indian dressed up for a jag. I haven't found any that tell me why it is as it is. The chances are that some dealer in dreeses had a stock of buttons he wanted to work off, sewed them onto the gowns and made the fashion stick, “However, the men haven't got any the best of It. The guys who think they are in the style wear clothes / this fall that make them resemble advertirements for ‘Parsifal’, 1 saw a young chap walking up Broadway the other day wearing a suit that reminded me of a sec- tion of fancy cement sidewalk. I thought he must be the goods, and when he entered a drug store I stood on the outside, kind of rubbering in the window at the face powder and things. This guy with the passionate sufi went behind the soda-water fountain, shed his coat, put i on a jacket and apron, shook off his patent leathers, inserted his feet in a pair of kicks that had green mould on then and was ready to earn his living.” “IT don’t suppose a man would dare wear his last fall’s suit this fall?” remarked the Cigar Store Man. “I don’t see why not," answered the Man Higher Up i «4 “it he hasn't lost the ticket.” England’s Idea of the Race. ‘We.are glad to know that the tiresome yacht race bush ness ts over at last.
