and because OF crowded conditions at the
hospital are obliged TO make their head
quarters at Pershing House. But IL is no
trying obligation, to judge from the con-
tented expressions on their faces and the
very evident way in which they feel that
Pershing House is a real home to them.
During the day skens OF rafia, beads, can
dies ana wax. carpentry tools and other
signs of their busy fingers are scattered
around the light, airy rooms devoted TO
the handicraft, but the "workmen" cheer
fully put everything in place for the after

the House.

The row of steamship offices. where the
Custom House now stands were as well
groomed and shiny as when the nabobs
lived in them. To be sure. Cyrus Field
was tearing down the dilapidated Ken
nedy house to be replaced by magnifi-
cent structure. AS Apsley House is mo. l,
London" he might have called the new
building "No. ], New York" instead of
mo. /, Broadway" At the present time
one house only remains in anything like
it's original condition-the General Jacob
Morton House, on State street.
Further up it was known that there
were houses still standing when grand
mother used to have friends in the old
days. The Seventh Ward. beloved by the
respected Quakers. with its round fronted
red brick elegance, on East Broadway
and Henry street, was given over to
sturdy but unpublished element whose
social leader was Isaiah Rynders and later
Bill Tweed. The Ninth Ward (never a
word of Greenwich Village" in those
days. was as like Philadelphia in its archi-
lecture as the Seventh was like Boston.
ST. Johns Park had gone before E. L.
Henry painted It, but the old houses were
still there.
De Pau Row, on Bleecker street, was
worth seeing. but smelly and disagreeable.

Probably in the sos the occupied dwell
ing houses furthest downtown were Mrs.
Hicks Lerd's on the west side of Wash

the pretentious house of Commodore Van
derbilt, in Washington place, with it's
garden and marble statues. Then came
the north side of Washington square. then
as later associated only with wealth and
refinement Miss Serena Rhinelander
ruled one corner of Fifth avenue and
Edward Cooper, with his Mayors lamps
at his door, the other. Those whose men,

Diagonally opposite was spoken of by

Opposite, that man of wrath, General

real cows and real chickens within its

and white marble houses similar to those
on Washington square.
On the corner of Fifteenth street was the
Haight mansion and opposite it the Man
haitian Club.
On the. west side of Fifth avenue, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
was one of the most attractive small
houses in New York. 1t was long occupied
by the gracious Countess Leary. This house
set a very pleasant fashion in New York
by being one of the first to have ever
green's in tubs beside the front door and
in the spring window boxes full Of pansies.
In the sixties its owner had the audacity
to raise the rent to $500 a year. People
asked :--"What was things coming to!'

The four corners of Eighteenth street
were all well marked. Chickering Hall
held the northwest. but on the three others
resided Gordon Webster Burnham. Mar

houses were all broad and impressive, each

By BELDEN DAY.

-HE passing of the palatial Wander
bilt home at Fifty-seventh street
and Fifth avenue reduces by only
one the landmarks associated with
the wealth and fashion of Manhat-
tan; but it almost reduces by half the very
great mansions associated with native
bern New Workers. and with society older
than that of the present With exception
Of the coup of Vanderbilt residences at
Fffty-Hvst street, and Mr.. Elbridge I.
Gerrys house at Sixty-first, there is none
in the front rank of magnificence whose
ancestral traditions goes back more than
two generations in New York, and in
most cases hardly more than score Of
Hrrars.
This is said deliberately. remembering
the abodes of the Astors, the Goelets. the
Rhinlapders. the Havemeyers, the Fishes,
tho Van Beurens. the Schemerhorns and
the Stuyvesants.
There is no doubt that the most con-
spfcuous houses in New York are those of
men whose fortunes have not been made
by the rise Of real estate values on Man
haitian Island, but whose names were
known in Pittsburg or in Montana or in
California long before they acquired a
domicile in New York or took part in its
civic or in its social life.
The Stranger in New York, the lady on
top Of the bus whether from Harlem or
from Hannibal or Houston, rarely gives a
thought to the fact that the dwellings that
attract her attention or that are mega
phoned to her, should she be enjoying q
migratory movie, are for the most part
not those Of the real New Workers or of
those of families which laid the founda-
tions OF its social pre-eminence.
The man who remembers back OF the
eighties and who as youngster rode on
top of one of the old Stages" blue or
white (there was room for one grown-up
or for three small boys IL the driver was
good natured). will recall few houses other
than those of old New Yorkers as he rode
from Fulton Ferry to Forty-third street.
OF course there were eminent and dis
tfnguished men in those days from other
cities. Troy and Albany had sent their
quota. Utica, Auburn and Canadaigua
are represented. Southern beauty had
married Northern wealth, and above all
the New England colony had dignified
New York with it's Morgans Evartses and
Choates; but there were few, and very few
at that, from beyond the borders of the
thirteen original States.

We have had enough of force during
the last four years and the farther we
get away from the idea of beating n
another into submission the better of
we all shall be. The present unrest is
positively dangerous. 1t isn't like any
unrest we have ever had before. II Is
the restlessness of human beings who
have been face to face with death. We
need a lot of calmness and common

thing, and n thing only. will bring us
back TO sane, normal living. 1t is work.
sympathy and understanding will do
more to secure peace, stimulate work,
than defiance, challenge and threats.
A normal world is one in which men
live and work together in peace, where
all men have a chance to be happy.
This means an interest in work, a joy
in working-living TO work, rather
than working TO live. Men must nave
food. clean wholesome food. and
enough of 1t to do their work without
exhaustion. Men must have clothes.
Not only the quantity and quality nec-
essary to protect their bodies from the
weather, but clothes that satisfy the
normal instinct for appearing clean
and neat. Decent clothes sustain self
respect. Men without them are less
normal and moral.

All Need a PIaytime.

There must be q time between the
end of the day and the beginning of
sleep In which men can know and en-
joy their families. The man who is so
used up by his days work that he falls
asleep at his supper table isn't play
ing fair with his wife and children,
and his employer isn't playing fair
with him. All men are boys, even aft
er they have gray hair. This quality
Is probably the finest and best
in them. They need q playtime, a recre-
alton time. They lose something and
the world loses more when they do
not get 1t. 1t is not enough that bodies
are fed, minds must not be starved.
Light is the right Of every human be.
ing with eyes. Education is light. The
human race must have light. None of
us were intended to live In darkness.
Children are entitled to a school time,
a jump-the-rOpe time, a top time. q
play time. A child who enters manhood
or womanhOod without ever having
known a childhood goes through life
with something missing, something
lost. The creed Of the changed world
Is that while the world doesn't owe
anyone a living, II is obligated to give
every human being a chance to make o
decent living. The new commandment
Is that this chance must be given.
