BY HARRIET :. GILLEsPIE.

Just when it seemed as If there wasn't
Greenwich Village for even another hat
tree there comes tho encoura Sing news
OF a movement to utilize the precious
space between the rows OF cosey brick
houses on the street for workshops and
homes. The village may always be re-
lied upon TO afford New York's big army
OF home seekers fresh thrills, and this
new slant toward the possible solution OF
its domestic problem has aroused new
interest among those who hope to find a
corner in the big city they can call home.
The free masonry that exists among
home seekers Of the Greenwich Village
type. whose desires have a foundation
in the love of home, Is responsible for
the transmission Of any new clue that
holds out the least hope OF satisfying
their ideals AS a consequence the word
filtered through the ranks Of house hunt
ers. and soon every one with the "old
home" bee in his bonnet set out on a
still hunt for these delectable quarters
that combine the joys of country life
with tn advantages Of town.
Not Many to He Had rs Yet.
Not to offer too much encouragement
to the home folk who would SO intensely
appreciate back yard studio. IL is only
right to state that as yet they aren't TO
be had in great numbers, but since
human nature is what II is. this fact
only serves to make the search more in
terestlng. On the other hand, 1t is a
happy fact that the owners OF property
in this section have just awakened to
the possibilities OF the vast amount OF
unused space between streets. and are
considering the erecting OF small in
dlvidual studios on the rear OF city lots,
so that it Is safe TO say that within a
comparatively short time we Will see
spring up an entirely new phase of city
life. II will be a town within a town,
isolated yet close to the throbblng life
of the city unrelated and yet affiliated
with all the concerns of an urban eX-
istence.
II the typical Greenwich Village home
is pleasing. the back yard studio is i'm
mensely more so, involving, as II does,
a type of architecture all its own, for
in the limited area available at the rear
of a city lot the style must necessarily
conform more or less to the ground
space. Invariably they are highly pic
turesque, and combine the most essential
features of home and a workshop. In
fact, for the very reason of the random
style in which they have been con-
ceived, an old world atmosphere clings
to them. recalling to mind some OF the
interesting sections in the environs of
Paris. Naples or other European cities.
The back yard studios have been re-
modelled from some old shop, an aban-
doned stable or sometimes, as Is not
inf equently the case. built anew. While
for the most part they are occupied by
artists and sculptors certain select
few who can claim no closer associa-
ton with palette and brush than real
appreciation OF the arts have been lucky
enough to obtain long leases and in

ATURAL BEAUTY AND FINE TRANSIT FACILITIES HAVE

" Central Section---Each of These
Divisions Has It's Own
Peculiar Charm

To the man or woman looking FOR
home where the advantages OF suburban
life may be enjoyed TO the fullest. In an
area easily accessible to the city, Long
Island offers many attractions. Along
its broad beaches, washed by the At
lantic and by the waters of the sound
and nestled among its beautiful hills
fragrant with the odor Of balsam, may
be found all types of homes from the
costly country estates of the wealthy to
the quaint cottages OF fishermen.
In summer Long Island is cooled by
the fresh and invigorating breezes of the
ocean. and in winter the benign Gulf
Stream mobiles the rigors of the season
Within the confines OF the island are
historic villages. attractive summer re-
sorts and model residential colonies
famed for their delightful social life.
Long Island offers TO its residents al
most every form OF outdoor sport aIere
may be found excellent surf and still
water bathing. sailing and motor boat
ing. good shore bird and duck shooting,
fine fishing. splendidly equipped golf and
tennis clubs. The island has in the past
been the scene OF many famous inter-
national polo and tennis matches. and
Its fne roads attract Automobiles by
the thousands.
Appeals to Business Man.
Perhaps one of the most attractive
features OF Long Island to the business
man is its excellent transportation
facilities. Thanks to the genius of the
twentieth century magicans who bur-
rowed under the heart of Manhattan
and under the East River to construct
the marvellous tunnels which link the
two islands, many parts OF Long Island
are more quickly reached from the CEN
trail or downtown sections of the city
than are some OF the residential sec
tons OF Manhattan itself
All parts of Long Island may be
reached by the trains OF the Long Island
Railroad which run from the Pennsyl-
vania station at Seventh avenue and
Thirty-third street and from stations in
Brooklyn, the terminus in the latter bor-
ough being at Flabtush avenue which
Is less than ten minutes from Wall street
