WHAT IS THE LURE OF FIFTH AVENUE?
Women Have Made It the Most Expensive Street in United States. SHOPPING AT NOON Street Shows Displays of Fine Costumes, Hats and Shoes. Nowhere else in America does one find such splendid window dressing, Bays Frederick Starr in the Ladies' Home Journal. Nowhre else does one wander freely through such bewildering displays of beautiful fabrications. It is no wonder that the American woman loves to visit the Fifth avenue shops. At a score of Btores, famous almost the country oyer, one may Bee beautiful stocks tastefully displayed. Of course Fifth avenue prices are a thing by themselves. It is true that women quarrel over the question whether one pays twice as much for the same thing on Fifth avenue as on Seventh avenue, but no one is ignorant that there is a Fifth avenue price. I know a woman who for many years had her hats made on Seventh avenue. She was able to pay a handsome price and always had the finest article. The man who for many years constructed her headgear, with increasing trade and reputation, finally removed to Fifth avenue. His customer followed him as was natural but to her surprise the next hat purchased after th'e removal cost her more than was expected. When the proprietor's attention was called to Jie matter and questions were asked e stated that she could no longer expect to pay the price of Seventh avenue. Of course in extenuation something may be said about increased rents, greater expense in conducting business, higher wages paid to salesmenbut, after all, the Fifth avenue price exists because it ia Fifth avenue. Correct Hour to Shop. There ia naturally precise regulation for New York women in regard to frequenting Fifth avenue. Therb are still some women of wealth who take their morning airing, but no New York woman of quality must be caught on fot upon Fifth avenue after 11 o'clock. At that time shopping begins. For most women who live for shopping 11 o'clock is the earllst possible hour for indulging in their favorite occupation. Most of these women are out every evening to social functions. They are to exhausted by their efforts to start out upon the new day's labors earlier than 11 o'clock. From then until 3 o'clock in the afternoon they may shop, but no woman should think of shopping later in the day. But Fifth avenue's present specialty does not lie even in the shops and shopping, but in the promenade. Again we take the bus and from its top look down upon the busy scene from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until evening. A gayer, livelier scene is hard to imagine. Thu sidewalks on both sides of the ytr-et are packed with people, chiefly women. The street itself is jammed with motor cars, making all the speed which the watchful guardians of the law permit. It is a mass of swarming humanity. After we have ridden through it we descend and mingle with the people on the sidewalks. Here are dresses of the latest styles, a kaleidoscopic movement of brilliant colors. Here one sees tints never before witnessed. One is apt to say, the colors of the rainbow, but the simple seven colors of our childhood teaching are nowhere visible. There are shades for which new names are coined this year to be forgotten next. All the crowd is in a hurlyuuny. liveryuuuy laugns aim cnavs i i J t l j i i and hustles, frightfully busy nothing. Large rowas.
Who compose this sidewalk crowd? j Every automobile owner arrested or What are tht-y doing? The most curi- j ordered to appear before Chief Gorous fact is that the crowd is composed ! mon so far has ben able to produce a almost entirely of women who are not ; reCeipt showing that he has sent his New Yorkers." They are people from j raoney for a new license. Uie country and outside towns, parad- i The delav of the state department in ing to show their own good dresses i pending plates is causing the police and to study what they are pleased to. ,.. unnecessary- work. Some of the
consider "New York" fashions. They !
re out, ot course, to see and to be . niore than six weeks ago and the state een. They scan the dresses and make-1 aviriitor has failed to supply the lips of all they meet, comment upon censes.
:nem, make mental memoranda for Juture guidance, and commend or criti:ise. And the motor cars and the people sn them? They are not out for pleasire. They are not indulging in a aseo. back and forth, for inspection, sut they are going somewhere. The :ders, indeed, expect to see and be een. They are New Yorkers and are Iressed with care, but they are not jut for the sake of being seen or for Jie sake of seeing. Nor, curiously, do Aey attract much attention from the ;rowds upon the sidewalk. In fact the most astonishing thing in all this remarkable parade is the scantness of ittention which the sidewalk crowds jive to the riders as they pass. What Is Lure? I have been asked, are the brilliant (hops and the magnificent displays of goods in Fifth avenue an appeal to woman's savagery? I have been asked, Is the Fifth avenue parade comparable with the scenes and facts of savage life in Central Africa? To these questions I would answer yes and no. The real savagery of woman is survival. It is akin to childishness. It !s due to innate conservatism. The true savagery of woman is simple, native. The child, too, is a savage. The savagery of woman and the child finds its delight in noise and movement and glitter. But the delight is due to inexperience. If we are to compare the lure of Fifth avenue to savagery we must distinguish carefully between two kinds of savagery. We sometimes speak of second childhood. It is a rery different thing from actual infancy. The savagery of Fifth avenue Is second childhood- .'It is senility. It is over refinement. It is complexity. If savagery it is relapse, not primitive. Fifth Avenue Woman. These women who spend their time In shopping and promenading on Fifth avenue have no serious interest la life. They do not know what to do.
LARGEST SESSION, SAYS NICHOLSON

TIMOTHY NICHOLSON. AmonK those who took prominent part in the deliberations of the Indiana Yearly meeting was Timothy Nicholson, who has been identified with the pnnual meeting in an official capacity and as layman for many years. Mr. Nicholson declared that the final session held today was larger than those of previous meetings. They are lonesome. They have no household cares of wholesome character to occupy their thoughts, no cooking, no dressmaking, no homely duties. Mechanisms and servants and delicatessen shops have robbed them of all legitimate and natural employments. They do not know how to converse, and they have no thoughts suitable for conversation matter. They have lost the art of reading, and if they skim an occasional copy of the magazines with the- most fleeting contents, they are wearied with their extraordinary mental effort. They are incapable of producing anything. They must have contact, company, movement, so they gad and stare and I gossip. They are physically and men tally worn and broken down. They are nervously unstrung. They crave excitement and continuous "go." Such is the Fifth avenue crowd. It is not only weak and neurotic, it has bad tendencies besides. It is ill natured in comment, mean in criticism. If each member of that selfsatisfied crowd could actually hear the comments made upon her, her ears would tingle. They are the savagery of decadence and degeneration. 23 Trustee's Report Shows Cost Was $648. Twenty-three persons have been buried at the expense of the township this year, according to Trustee Haworth's semi-annual report. The cost to the township was $648. Ten of the deceased paupers were old people and the other thirteen were children. CRASH KILLS FIVE; FIVE ARE INJURED INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 29 One person was killed and five badly injured early today when an inbound Bismarck avenue street car loaded with people coming down town to work, collided with a switching train on West Michigan street at the Belt line crossing. Miss Nellie Preble, 18, who attempted to jump rfom the street car when the collision became inevitable, was thrown underneath the freight train and instantly killed. Sarah Webb, her neighbor, was seriously injured. The street car was thrown twenty feet and turned half way around.

SHORT PRACTICE HELD YESTERDAY Although only a few candidates were out, a short football practice was held yesterday morning at Athletic park. Lack of interest on the part of those who have expressed a desire to play s attributed to the fact that no game has been scheduled as yet. In order to get out a fair sized squad an effort will be made to obtain a game with some light team, possibly New Madison, for next Sunday. The work done in this game, those who are backing the club believe, will prove of material benefit in getting the eleven in correct shape for big games to be played in Richmond in the season. VISITORS HERE Miss John Fitzmaurice and Miss Irene Ennis of Chicago, and Miss Agnes Fitzmaurice, Mrs. Fred Ricer and i Miss Agnes Wilt of Dayton are spending a few days with relatives in Richmond.
