Gardens Attached to Homes of the
Wealthy in Residential Section of
Manhattan an Expensive Luxury

garden, even "a very small one be
Il 50 great "A luxury as in New York.

million dollars. for example. purchases "A
very small garden space in fashionable
residential districts of Manhattan
The price of a city lot on Fifth ave-
nue. in the fashionable section ranges
around $2jo.0O0. \ corner lot is of
course much more valuable. In passing
along the avenue 1t is a simple matter
therefore to estimate In round numbers
the price each garden owner pays for the
luxury of having one. The cost of any
one of these little gardens would pur-
chase many acres of the richest farm
land. great tracts Of forest land or an
entire village. \ few years ago these open
spaces were much more common in New
York. but with the rapid growth of the
city and the northward movement of
skyscraper office buildings and apart
ment houses only few remain.
In spite of the fantastic price of this
land a few New Workers have gardens
of respectable proportions. where they
may enjoy comparative privacy Not
long ago Andrew Carnegie was actually
locked out in his own garden on Fifth
avenue and had some difficulty in being
rescued.
The Carnegie garden occupies fully
half block on Fifth avenue and eX-
tends more than 200 feet back along
the side street Mr.. Carnegie, who tells
the story on himself. had gone into his
garden To pick flowers when the door
blew shut. cffectually locking him out
After knocking in vain he called To a
small boy who was passing and asked
him to go around to the front of the
house, ring the bell and explain the sit
uation.
The boy was sceptical and fatty re-
fused at first. but was finally convinced
that he was actually talking to Mr.. Car
negie. To be lost, as it were, in ones
own garden On Fifth avenue Is an ex-
perience reserved only for the very rich
est men in the world.
The Carnegie garden Is the largest on
Manhattan Island and doubtless tn,
most beautiful. There is a compare

There are banks of thick shrubbt ~
screening 1t from the street, which lend

Ing the side yard as 1t were on end. The
house wall Is covered with lattice to
the-height of perhaps five stories and
covered with vines. This eXpanse Of
green relieves the entire block. In other
side yards a high lattice work il often
carried up to the house op on three
sides, lending privacy to the house. Spe-
cial care Is taken in planting vines at
different levels so that the entire sur
face will be covered with foliage

occupies a space of half a dozen city
lots on lower Madison avenue and is
almost completely surrounded by high
buildings. The general design of the
garden is very simple. There Is large
lawn-large by Manhattan standards
and the beautiful flower beds are con-
stantly renewed so that the lawn is
always bordered by brilliant flowers A
few marble seats and statues from the
Morgan art collections have been used
as decorations.

out In white marble. The cool green of
the lawn contrasts strikingly with the
pure white Of the mansion and the sur
| rounding balustrade.
| The lawn is Of great assistance in
| throwing into relief the beautiful ia
| oade OF the house beyond. 1t is often

along upper Fifth avenue would show
to much better advantage II they were
surrounded by gardens. and the conten-

ample.
The gardening in Manhattan's back
yards is as a rule of the most primitive
kind. The great height of the buildings
makes 1t impossible for flowers or TO-
liage to thrive. The back yards of many
OF the finest houses are In fact fioored
with concrete and the problem frankly
evaded. There are, however a number
OF elaborate formal gardens occupying
! the limited areas. Several of these back
yards along Fifth avenue have been
transformed into Italian gardens and
decorated with statuary and pillars and
| fountains.

ASSISTANCE FOR
AMERICANS ABROAD
State Department Will Ask Congress
for Authority to Send for Our
Citizens

Washington, Aug 2.-Active
measures for the relief of many
thousands of Americans in distress
in Europe for lack of money or
means to return home have been be-
gun by President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan.
The president and secretary of
state conferred last night on the
question of getting money to citizens
abroad. The administration has UNI
der consideration sending army and
navy transports to carry American
refugees, and a special request to
Congress for an appropriation is ex-
pected to be made.
If necessary, the government is
prepared to send American vessels
abroad with gold for the relief of
Americans. Immediately after the
conference with the president, Mr..
Bryan cabled all consulates, 1ega-
tions and embassies to spare no
pains in caring for Americans.
State department officials admit
ted that the most serious problems
confronting them was the plight of
Americans abroad. They estimated
that at least 100000 and perhaps
100000 are scattered throughout
Europe. The disorganization of the
European exchange has made it prac-
tically impossible to cash checks or
letters of credit American consul
lates, legations and embassies are de-
void of funds for the emergency.
They are being beseiged on all sides
with requests for financial assis-
lance.
With the cancellation by several
steamship lines of their sailings many
Americans find themselves unable to
get passage on the overcrowded boats
of American register. American
waFships would be of little, use, they
hAve harry any capacity for passen-
gers. Naval officers have suggested
that the government by special ar
rangement could charter immediate
ly some of the big ocean liners of
the foreign register to bring Amer
leans home.
A special appropriation would be
required to charter steamships to
bring home Americans. Congress al
ways has acted promptly in such
emergencies and is expected to do so
again. In response to numerous ap-
| plications from persons in the Unit
ed States for information as to the
Europe, the state department is re-
| turning the uniform answer that un-
der general instructions the consuls
will report the case of any Amer
| leans in distress.
