Saving the Social Side
Of the Saloon

Sociological workers tell us that less
than so per cent of the men who frequent
these ''likker holes" went there because
of the drinks that were sold. The major
ity went primarily to meet their friends
and they bought liquor as a payment
for the hospitality of the place When
prohibition became a certainty the uues-
ton arose as to what was to take the
place Of the saloon in the life of the work
ingman; to what form of amusement or
iniquity would he turn as substitute?
The obvious answer, of course, would be
for the saloon to continue at the old
stand, replacing the intoxicating beve-
RACES with temperance drinks. This was
impractical, however, for the profits from
the sale of these would not be sufficient
to pay the running expenses and the sa-
loonkeepers refused to consider the idea.
To Miss Resale Manning, of the Lenox
Hill Settlement, belongs the credit of
working out the first really practical
plan for the solution of this problem.

History proves that nations, like men,
DO forget Time heals the scars, blurs
the memories. Will, then, the French
forgive and forget the barbarism under
the terror of which they have lived for
more than four years; or will the names
Of Hohenzollern and Germany remain,
Ike Attila and the Huns, for centuries
to come, d byword, a smile of unforget-
table, unforgiyable brutality?
Said I, not long ago, to Frenchman:
You forgave the Black Prince and
Wellington, and to-day you and the
English are brothers. May it not be so
with You and the Teuton in another two,
three hundred years."
"Mais non, madam The English are
gentlemen i'
There ne summed it up And the
man who IS not gentlemen-not so
much in the polish of manner as in the
honor of his souls a brute to women.
1t Is in the hearts Of a country's
women that that country's enemy re-
ceives his final, his irrevocable doom. II

The Cat and the Bar

cess. The fourth will soon be ready for
occupancy. The old saloons have been

not pretend to be an expert on the in

corner saloon, but from my scant expe-
r1ence l should say that there was verv
little difference between the appearance
OF the mems club and it's predecessor,
the corner saloon. The long bar still runs
along the side wall, flanked by it's row of
mirrors. The bartender alone was miss
ing and IN his place was a young volun-
teer mixer" who dispensed cider and
ginger ale with all the flourish of pro-
fessional. The card tables were sur
rounded by players, billiard balls went
whizzing across the green cloth, the air
was thick with smoke and rising above
the noise of laughter and talking came

War Horrors

woman. ut was enough to make any
ones hair gray. I am sure you won't
add any more gray hairs now that peace
has come"
"Oh,' said the first woman candidly.
1T wasn't exactly because of the war
that my hair became gray-that Is, it
wasn't because of worry; but, you know,
the preparation ! used to use-was i'm
ported--and during the war couldn't
get any of it. I had to let the gray hairs
have their way----but now hope IL will

to the fact that the poor old thing had
some good points after all. Like every
thing else (and everybody else, for that

Exit the Bar
Enter the Coffee Table

The most unique, as we'll as the most
pretentious of these clubs, is the one
which opened its doors for the first time
last evening on the corner of East Egh-
ty-fourth Street and East End Avenue.
This club is for both men and women and
its members are all Hungarian. 1t num-
bers more than hundred members al
ready and occupies what was formerly
large saloon, which has been entirely re-
decorated and refurnished by the club
members. The bar has been removed and
the entire front half is occupied by lit
tie round tables, each of which IS lighted
by a gas lamp, where coffee will be
served together with the elaborate
pastry for which the Hungarian women

sary funds to put it in proper condition,
and early last March the old boathouse
threw open its doors to the men in the
service.
1t has the distinction of being the only
canteen in the country which is run en-
tirely by college girls. Not only do
these girls supply the money for the run
ming expenses, but they do all the work
of the canteen, with the exception of the
cooking, besides acting as hostesses and

was searching for a place in which to
establish the canteen, she stumbled upon
the old boathouse, which had not been
used since the war put an end to col
lege sports. 1t was badly out of repair,
and certain amount of remodelling
would be necessary before it would fill
the requirements of the canteen, but 9TH
erwise it seemed the ideal place. Mr.
Gould was told of the scheme and
promptly came forward with the neces-

called the Faculty chairman"

Make You Happy played by a young
Italian on an old square piano at the
further end of the room.
The members of this club are mostly
Italian, and they pay rs cents a month
dues. Soft drinks are sold at the regu-
lar prices and the question of serving
sandwiches and pastry, as we'll, is to be
considered at the next club meeting

for these clubs are all self-governing,
with officers and a board of directors
chosen from the ranks.
Once each month the members of the
Italian mems club hold what they call a
Home Night in the old saloon, to which
they invite their women folks" and
friends. On these occasions the billiard
tables are pushed back against the wall

three months ago Miss Manning evolved
the idea of taking over the saloons Of
the district as they become vacant and
turning them into mems clubs. She ap-
pealed to philanthropia man who is a
warm supporter Of the settlement, and
he offered to finance four of these en-
terprlses for one year as an experiment
and If they proved a success a fund
would be arranged for with which to
carry on the work.

their ages, each Of which has the use of
the club on certain nights of the week.
It is divided into two rooms, so that two
groups can occupy it on one evening The
younger boys have the front room. where
there are small pool tables, checkers and
other games, shelf filled with boys
books and magazines and, big stove in
which bright coal fire blazes cheerily.
The windows of this front room are un-
curtained and there is always a row of
mothers lined up outside watching their
offspring and rapping on the glass when
it's time for them to go to bed
The big rear room is given over to
the larger boys, young fellows of from
seventeen to nineteen years of age.
These young men take great pride in
their club room, the semi-circular bar Is
well stocked with soft drinks and on
one end there is a gas stove ready fer
boiling coffee. On the evening that L
visited the club collection had been
taken up and with this money coffee,
milk and cake had been purchased. The
coffee pot was singing merrily and "a
good time was being had by ALL" These
boys were particularly proud of the
three pairs Of new green curtains which
had just been hung at the rear windows
and for which they had contributed $40.
The members Of this club are Bohemians
and German-Americans The director

are famous. This coffee room is pat
termed after a famous one in Budapest
The rear room is given over to bill
lard and pool and card tables and queer
Hungarian games. There is a tiny kit
chen where light refreshments may be
prepared and little bar in the corner
for the dispensing of beverages which
cheer but do not inebriate. One Of the
most important attractions of the place
is reached by circular staircase from
the corner of the front ROOM This is a
long bowling alley, without which no
Hungarian club would be complete. AS is
the Hungarian custom the janitor of
the club is its president which seems TO
me the height of democracy.
The Backers of the Club
Stand Far Back
One very important adjunct has been
added to every one of these club rooms
which was not included in the appoint
ments of the old saloon. This is an in
formation booth presided over by
young man from the Lenox Hill Settle
ment. Here the embryo citizen may OBJ
tain information as to the way TO take
out his citizenship papers, an unbiased
statement of the platforms of the diff
ferent political parties (which goodness
knows he could never have obtained in
the old Tammany-ridden saloon) and en-
lightenment on any subject in which he
may be interested. Through an arrange
ment with the Federal Employment
Bureau, the attendant will be able to
help man who is out of work to find a
position. Club members may have their
mail addressed to them at the club room
which in a crowded tenement district
where the rnailboxes are practically
open to all, is a great blessing.
The great point about these clubs is
the fact that they haven't the least trace
of anything institutional. The Lenox
Hill Settlement stands back of them Ia
be sure but it is so very far in the back
ground that it is never in evidence ex-
cept in cases where the club officers ap-
peal to it for advice or financial as
sistance. The clubs belong absolutely to
the men who pay the % or so cents
month which entities them to member
ship, and therein lies their strength.
Fur be it from us as Samanthy Al
len would say, ito brag of our sect" but
as woman to woman, don't you think
that Miss Manning has the right idea

and there is dancing to the music of the
old square piano.
