= apcoxer lS set wy Monkey: 1 WONDER IF HE’S HUNGRY OR JUST YAWNING. From the Top of a Bus AM always seeing diverting sights from the top of a bus. Hotels, restaurants, art galleries, department stores, tene- ments, mansions, shop windows that display all varieties of wonders... 1 see a young man and a young woman talking to each ‘ler on a street corner, and another young woman almost nut of a taxicab in the act of looking at them. I see a small child staring spellbound at a policeman, while its nurse ogles a chauffeur. | see men in overcoats that barely reach the waist, ‘and men in overcoats that almost touch the ground. | soe women in furs and patent-leather pumps, and women in shawls and mud-covered shoes. 1 see myriads of faces—pale, anemic faces; florid, bloated fi ; round faces; square faces; faces that wear their s’ histories stamped upon them... In the window of a club I see an ofd man who gazes re- fiectively and longingly into the distant past. Charles G. Shaw.
