House Numbers.

The house without a number is to
come in for official inquiry. and the
Engineer Commissioner has taken up
this question with the building in
spector, with the aim of finding what
can be done to compel every house to
have a number and to show it. 1t is
said that the post office people have
no recent figures on the subject, but
that there are not many houses with
out numbers,
may be unusual in the close-built Sec
tions of the city, houses with illegible
numbers are numerous, and every one
knows that the house whose number
down and twilight fades is the rule.
1t is not now proposed that every
house must have its number visible
from the sidewalk or the porch steps
at night, but there will probably come
a time when we must light the num-
Der of our house something after the
fashion in which we light our automo-
bile number. But that is a question
for the future. The point is now that
there are houses that never had a
number painted or nailed upon them,
and there are houses from which the
numbers have fallen away or have
faded so that they cannot be made
out. The authorities will look for
some way in which the condition com
planned of may be corrected.

Traumerei.

A girl immigrant from Rumania,
landing at Ellis Island, escaped de-
portation by playing "Traumerei' on
her violin. She played it so well that
the immigration inspection board ruled
that she was an artist and, therefore,
eligible to come ashore. There was
pathos in the little story Of this hap
pening which The Star lately printed.
Though her brother and his wife were
waiting for Aer, she was told that she
must go back. She sought consolation
in her violin, and some one, .hea. s--,
questioned her. She said she was q
music teacher. The officials said that
fact would not give her the landing
privilege, but If she were an artist she
could go ashore and be happy. Would
she play for the immigration board?
Would She play "Traumerei"? She
played 1t. She was declared to be an
artist.
Everybody viii wish her success In
her new. home. There is that in the
story which touches q note In the
memory of thousands. perhaps Of mils
