New Use for Library Plaza.

A gay scene is presented daily on
the west plaza of the public library
these summer days. A new use has
been found for it which doubtless had
no place in the architects scheme.
Little children run races when it is
not too hot or draw their toys back
and forth over the long expanse of
tagging. Older children find shady
hooks about the Bryant fountain
where they sew or read, sometimes
to the little ones or to the mothers
who also find time to get away from
the close tenemeRts, and enjoy a rest
in the quiet open space.
1t is within walking distance of a
large tenement district. 1t is not easy
for the poor to find such place, and
so far the park loafers have not in
yaded it. 1t belongs to the women and
children.
