Broadway subway, and the automobile route
via Riverside Drive is very attractive at this
season.
The garden is laid out in prettily bordered
beds in the Dutch style. Long white stone
seats placed at the base of a handsome flight
of red brick steps is at first glance sugges-
tive of an Italian garden. II the old Van
