HOMES ACROSS THE HUDSON.
STRING OF OLD VILLAGES WEST
OF THE PALISADES.

The, Northern Railroad Of New Jersey,
Which Ends at Nyack and 10 Twenty
nine Miles Ions. Has Twenty-Five Sta
"a tons. Where Many New Workers Live.
Just over the Palisades, that rock trimmed
edge of New Jersey with which New Workers
are most familiar. there is a string Of twenty
two villages stretched out along the twenty
nine miles Of railway track which make up
the Northern Railroad Of New Jersey.
These villages are 81 close together that
they almost rub elbows, yet, as one travels
through the country in carriage or rail-
way train, each village gives the impress
sion Of standing by itself in the midst Of
country picturesquely checkered by meadow
and woodland. The reason for this illusion
Ia the old trees that everywhere line the
roads and dot the landscape. Each house
is hidden from the vision OF the distant
on]ooker and only the church spires and
here and there tie peak of a gable give
any hint Of the populous life below.
Many of the villages. with their con-
meeting system Of roads. date back to Revo-
lutionary times. Every mile or two of
road has it, quaint. low gabled, broad
eaved old homestead that testifies to the
early settlement of the region. The first
pioneers were tree planting race, and
those who have followed them in the possess
sion OF the land have Kept up the good
custom. On a street that is lined with
ancient trees even a new house soon loses
its look Of rawness, and 80 none OF these
villages has the appearance of mushroom
growth that goes with so many suburban
neighborhoods.
Though the civic spirit is progressive.
and all public utilities, such as macadamized
roads sewers water supply and gas and
electric ii sht, arc provided, there has been
little of that fiamboyant ambition to make
cities Of what are properly villa ges;
in only few instances is the rural skyline
Scared by the tall, angular outlines of the
cit building.
The villages have two features that are
unique in suburban New York. The flrs,
is the railroad. 1t is only twenty-eiebt
miles long, terminating at Nyack. No
throu Oh passenger or freight service usurps
the right Of way, Trc entire oapacjty of
the road is devoted to its suburban ssryic,
One of the minor benefits Of this is the an
sence of the hobo pest: the tranp is y
through traveller and is seldom tempted
into tho rural byway.
The second feature. by far the more i'm
portant and distinctive, is the primitive
woodlands that top the Palisades and skirt
the eastern edge of the villages as far north
