I you doubt it, fake a walk through the cross streets west of Fifth who had: just attracted his wondering admiration was the most beautiful. In face and figure she was peerless. And she was decked in jeweled robes more fit for an Empress than for a mere citizen. Demosthenes, whose brain and heart had hitherto been under iron control, eagerly asked one of his companions who the wonder woman might be. He was told she was Lais, the far-famed professional beauty whose loveliness and magnetic charm had set all Greece aflame. He was told also that the palace she had just cntered was her own, and that she was 4s avaricious ae she was beautiful. In fact, so ran the story, each of her many successive admirers was forced to back his devotion with gifts that averaged $1,500 a day. Demosthenes sighed and turned away, saying? “That ts too high a sum to pay for the privtlege of repentin Lats was so famous throughout the ancient world that ! avenue between ‘Thirty-fourth and Vifty-seventh, ‘This section is a good sainple because it represents the so-called club and hotel nam 5 J synonym not only for beauty but for avarice as well.

Thus, when Diogenes (the gruff philosopher who so mercilessly snubbed Alexander the Great) became enamored of Lats, she 18 said to ave laughed in the homely old cynic'e face and ordered him from her presence. Aristippus, another phil~ osopher, loved her, and perpetuated that love by deeply dedicating to her several of his most celebrated books. But the love of her life was also her life's chief sorrow. A young athlete, Eubotas of Cyrene, came to Corinth on his way to run in the Olympic games, | He at once found himself a local hero, For athletics in those days were @ {theme of national” pride. And a successful atilete was co ed almost a worthy of fame as a successful general, Hubotas youth and beauty an athletic prowess. Ie captured the heart of Lals, where many a wealthler, more orilliant man had failed. She forgot her avarice and her craving for splend She asked nothing better than to pass the rest of her ith thie sim y Eubotas was much flattered by her adoration. But h hopes were centred more on the winning of the race th on mere love-making, Yet he promised Lais that In the event of his victory at the Olympic games he would come back to Corinth for her and take her home to The present condition of these streets is incredible. It is a shame and a disgrace. Hardly a single cross etreet between l'orty-second and Fiftieth street is even eafe. Comfort is out of the question. The asphalt is in shreds and tatters. Patches of hastily filled excavation, covered with ragged cobbles, are everywhere. Pieces of curbstone, torn from the sidewalk, lie scattered in the' gutters. Wheels jolt) perilously from rough heaps of paving stones into slofighs of mud and slippery holes of aunken asphalt. Even in the more passable streets long hideous scars of jagged stones mark the path of reckless, fil-finished excavation. The climax of glaring neglect is in Forty-fifth strect between | Broadway and Sixth avenue. Every kind of slovenliness, dilapidation and deliberate devastation of a city street is to be found in this short hlock—and this is one of the fashionable and most frequented sections of the city. ; Anybody caring to see what colossal ignorance, indifference and criminal carelessness on the part of a great city can accomplish with) the streets of that city should take a walk through this portion of New York. The pavements of the Metropolis of the Western Hemisphere would shame a German village! So far as its streets are concerned, New York wallows in backwardness and sloth! aes e The Siren ang the Athlete, Cyrene with him.
