FIFTH AVENUE AND FORTY-SECOND STREET CROSSING 



"Step lively" is the spirit of New York. The crossing policeman wants you to do so, the 

 crowd steps on your heels if you do not, and the subway car door goes shut in your face if 

 you are slow ; for New York is too big to wait for anybody. One who lives there must be 

 in a hurry, and the drones, whether in business, going to Coney Island, strolling up Broad- 

 way, or wherever they may be or whatever their circumstance, are always in people's way. 

 This unusual photograph was made from a building opposite the Public Library.
