y Nearly twenty years ago young man

New England was walking up Park row
nssrveiling At the wonders of the metrop-
ola At that time the Park Row Build
Ins. towering twenty-six stories above the
street, was one of the wonders Of the
world. and the newcomer, and other new
roners around him, twisted their necks
and strained their eyes as they gazed in
awe at the lofty towers which crowned it.
II Khere Park row is broken BY the
square at City Hall Park workmen had
torn through the pavement and had ex-
cnvafed several great trenches In which
they were working on water mains, OF
gas mains. or electric conduits. or pos
xibly all of them, and there was a scene
CT confusion SO often met with in city
streets.
As the young man from New England
and hundreds of Others picked their WAY
through the maze of tangled traffic.

CITY OF WONDER.

We who have been here through It Il
have watched the progress and growth Of
the city with little thought of the marye
of 1t. Far into the earth and the rock
below the pioneers have delved. building
smother magic city beneath the streets,
while above them towering structures
have risen until the Park Row Building
stands almost Is q pismy where once ii
was a giant of giants. Save for the
wonderful Brooklyn Bridge = wonderful

So gradually have these marvellous

wrought them an, stop NOT even to won

city has come to be. Perhaps. and quite
likely, too, the dWeIler in the city Of
twenty years ago, locking back over the
twenty years which had preceded that
time, would have had a similar feeling as
regards the city Of his day. And II

TO THE WOMEN OF ST. TAM
MANY PARISH.

The papers to-day are telling us,
in big headlines, that all things come
to the advertiser, so we take ad-
vantage of the spirit of the times and
advertise to the women of the parish
the fact that we are working for the
biggest and finest exhibit of fancy
work that has ever been displayed at
any of cur Parish Fairs. This year
is to set the pace for the coming
years, to raise a standard that will
require no little effort to maintain.
The women of this parish have
long been known for their exquisite
hand work, and now we ask them to
send some of this work to our fair.
If each woman talks to her neigh
Dor about it, and succeeds in arous-
ing the interest and enthusiasm the
subject deserves, there shall be gath
cred such a display as will furnish
the chief attraction of our fair.
Will you help to put our Parish
over the top once more?
MISS KATE EASTMAN,
Parish Chairman of Fancy Work
