prestige which is suggested by a
robust design upon the small of the

who prefer snakes sketched about
the legs to any other tattooing art

snake give a wide range to the
business of tattooinr, with no small
opportunity for originality There

on condition that she and her heirs
should preserve the grave in per
petuity.
Years afterward, when condemna-
tion proceedings were instituted to
enable the city to acquire the land,
this strange indenture was cncoun-
tered. Who says that the city is a
mere machine without sentiment?
The charge is refuted, for the city
accepted the land with the provision
that the grave be undisturbcd and
cared for always.
With the exception of the great

spoiled them. Once the cop was an

TORIES about tennis courts
- ought to be on the sporting page,
and stories about F'latbush fig
ure, naturally, among the absorbing
and touching real estate advertise
ments. But when yarn is about
tennis courts, Flatbbush and we'll
known world war besides, it doesn't
seem to fit in anywhere except in the
Sunday magazine section, which
shows that there is a reason and
purpose for everything.
When Manhattan Island was New
York City and the other boroughs
we're suburbs, the people who owned
or controlled outlying property used
to drink coffee so that they could
stay awake nights and work out
plans for Turing the provincial peo-
pie of Gotham from out their con-
crete and asphalt lairs. In Queens
they built Fairgrounds for the kid
dies; in Bay Ridge and Bath Beach
they smoothed the shore to make it
look like Rockaway; in The Bronx
they made things look as much like
the city as possible and turned to the
cheaper rent for the magnetic effect.
They sprinkled tennis courts through
where Flatbush now stands. People
came to Flatbush-second, to reside
there; first, to play tennis.
