Tide of Battle Rolls Away;
City Gardens Bloom Again

There are parts Of the city. and partcu-
larly i'm lower Manhattan which look like
a town over which the tide OF battle has
rolled. and which is midway in the work of
rehabilitation. The originally comfortable
old houses were metamorphosed into swarm
ing tenements by the exigencies Of the citys
growth, and now as the tide rolls back
again the SCARED and battered wrecks are
being rejuvenated. bricks are pointed up, and
gardens replace the former dumping grounds
for ashes tin cans and discarded household
belongings.
Inevitably gardens. for the days of make
shift clamorous hole in the wall city living

their passing, the garden is already assum-

and fireplace assumed long ago For
time we Americans took our amazing cities
a shade too seriously But to-day we stretch
comfortably and sprawl about a little and
take our ease.
The three examples described were chosen
because they are quite unlike expressions
OF the movement which Is literally turning
New York into a garden city: but they were
chosen quite arbitrarily since gardens are
scattered as thickly through the crowded
tangle Of stone streets. steel tracks and brick
buildings as raisins through a plum pudding.
