leck.
For long time the poet made his home
at Bixley's hotel. at the corner OF Broad.
way and Park place. When Bxley went
out of business Halleck, disgusted with the
"villainous alterations, miscalled improve
ments," going on down town, migrated to
the st. Denis, at Eleventh street and Broad
way, where, he said. they charged as much
a day as he had paid as boy a week.
He wrote home to Guilford from the St
Denis and told about the fine sleighing
route out of town, on the Bloomingdale
Harlem and Manhattanville roads, and
the public houses on the roads are so
thronged that person can hardly elbow
his way into the house."
Can the widest imagination picture a
beautiful lane bordered with green hedges
where Twenty-frst street. between Sixth
and Seventh avenues, is today? In Hal
leck's day there was such a spot, called
Lovers Lane" and almost any morning
two poets, arm in arm, strolled up and
down this delightfully."- green lane. They
were Halleck and his bosom friend, Joseph
Rodman Drake. AT the end OF this charm
ing retreat stood a fine old country man
sion. IL was occupied by Henry Eckford.
a wealthy shipbuilder. The two poets
never left the sylvan quietness of Lovers
Lane without first greeting the hospitable
family, particularly their lovely daughters,
one OF whom Drake married.

closest friend OF all was Joseph Rodman
Drake. When the poet Drake died at 25
from consumption, Halleck wrote his epi-
taph, the lines of which for pathos and
tenderness are unequaled in American
poetry
Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days;
None knew thee but to love thee
Nor named thee but to praise"
Upon hearing of the death OF another
friend, Richard Cumberland, Halleck said:
Light, say l. be his ashes. and hallowed be
the turf that pillows his head"
In 1897 there was organized an authors
club, Of which Washington Irving was
chosen president and Halleck vice-presi
dent. This was not the first authors club
in New York city. There was another of
which Fitz-Greene Halleck was a regular
attendant; that was the famous Bread and
Cheese Club, organized in 1924 by Feni-
more Cooper This club met at Washing
ton Hall, Broadway and Chambers street,
which later became the Stewart ware
house. The Stewart building now stand
ing on the old site is at the present time
occupied by THE New YORK HERALD.
To become a member of these clubs one
had to be famous for something-artist,
author, merchant, and so on. Halleck had
proposed for membership his good friend
G. L. Edwards, doctor, who had an i'm
pediment in his speech.
What did you tell the club am famous
for?" asked the doctor.

America was two hundred years old be

more richly deserved the dictinction be-

Fitz-Greene Halleck. And no city next to
Guilford, Conn, his birthplace, deserved
the honor of the first monument of its kind

HEALTH CAMP AIGNERS
TO DISTRIBUTE MILK
TO SCHOOL CHILDREN
fBv Associated r-ressl

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-When the
doors of the public schools swing
open next month more than 25 per
cent of Americas school children are
expected to be recess milk drinkers.
A survey just completed by the Ma
tional Dairy Council shows that in
scores of cities and towns where new
health campaigns are being started
among children the plan of distribut-
ing milk at recess periods has been
adopted.
Records on the weighing and meas
uring of millions of school children
in these campaigns show that one
third of the twenty-five million boys
and girls are definitely under-nourish-
ed Malnutrition and physical handi-
caps, according to M. D. Mum, presi
dent of the National Dairy Council
were found among children of the
rich as we'll as among the poor. In
many cases malnutrition is due large
" to the 'sweet-tooth' of the child
said Mr.. Mum "This 'sweet-tooth
results in the indiscriminate eating OF
candy and other sweets at improper
hours, with disastrous effects upor

diet is the only solution And Ameri
ca is awakening to that fact, and tc
the fact that the health of the child
is the power of the nation"
