A REAL FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
IN NEW YORK, Immediately south
Of the arch which divides Washing

the watermelon riddle. there is
circle Of green grass. and inside that
circle Of green grass there is small
circular pool Of clear, sparkling water
fed BY a thin, geyser-like fountain
From early morning until o'clock at
night YOU can hardly see this pool
