By CHARLOTTE WISE Chicago's "Old Town" - the hippie section of the windy city where among the swarming tourists, teeny bopper, psuedo hippies and old men, you can find a few original, authentic hippU«.f North Wells is the street where longhaired, mini-skirted girls and long haired ear-ringed boys roam the streets until the early morning hours. Vet the bright lights and marquees have capitalized on soul. Even though Chicago's own Haight Asbury originated onlv three years ago, commercialism seeped into the area, until now you must search to find the true hippies that live for love, peace and LSD. They are there - but not so conspicious as their psuedo counterparts who are playing the role for a kick. In Piper's Alley there's a petite, short-cropped auburn haired woman in her 40's who suggests you buy a paper dress for a masquerade party. "Then you could look like me," she says. And then seriously, almost pathetically, "I'm a hippy, you know." Everywhere in Old Town the tourist traps trap millions on psychedelic posters, souvenirs and wild, extraordinary trinkets such as the small coffee table shaped like lips, painted pink and blue, reminiscent of the op art that made St Laurant famous. An ole time jazz band blares from a second floor restaurant an d across the street you see a sign that reads "Lola's cock tails ~ Upstairs." From the appearance of the establishment you wonder what else Lola is serving. Crowds walk the streets, in discriminate faces of strangers. You get in their way and they shove you out of it. And the cheap honky tonks are there with a topless dancer swinging, gliding to the beat of a trumpet and drum, tittilating the fancies of men, old and young. There's a different girl for every hour, and passers-by on the street can peer through a foot square peek hole to see young frustrated girls shake and shimmy to the same old beat. Somehow you feel awfully glad you're not one of them. As you leaveoneof the many shops, a drunk falls into you and mutters a slurred apology as he staggers down the alley with a drink in his hand- And then there is Alverus, the Negro with a silver ring in his nose. A ring that just touches his dark moustache. You see him several times in the different shops along North Wells Street, and his Army jacket is faded and torn. Finally you meet the elderly woman in the groovy psychedelic emporium who has worked in Old Town for over three years. "The people? They're charming," she says with a smile that shows the wrinkles her makeup tines to cover. "Writers, artists and composers started Old Town several years ago. Before they came it was just another Chicago slum, But they made over the old homes here and even had a homes tour in the spring. Then the businesses . moved in and ruined it all. It was a beautiful place before. "No, I'm never afraid. I always take a cab home. I love working at night, too. "The hippies? Oh, they're just a fad, like the beatniks before them. Kids tryingtbprotest, show off. Some bad, some good, "The hippies. They're just a fad."
