 lt was in this atmosphere Mr. Her etft Bowen grew up, and it is small wonder that through ali his lie he has been the personifcation of the era- elous influences which surrounded him from early youth
 To Hear Beecher
 Mir Lincoln's visit to Brooklyn was primarily to hear Mir. Beecher. and MT Bowen gives Us his youthful i'm. preSsions of that great man. and of Theodore Tilten Mrs. Tiltnn and the great scandal which rocked Brooklyn te lts center. He says. and says truly Children's impressions are stronger than those of grown-up persons and Tor that reason. later in life. We are generally capable of judging those We knew in our early days with mer- clless accuracy Looking back. he feels that Mrs. Hilton was a woman adoring rather than adored. Not find ing a soulmate m her husband. who as ne grew mentally, also grew more and iilefe seihsh and inordluately vain. she turned her adoring gaze upon her pas- tor, with the result that she utterly ruined her own life. and sadly circum. sefibed the usefulness both of husband and pastor
 Mir. Bowen's description of life on Brooklyn Heights in the days of hi, youth will strike an answering chord in many hearts; but to those of us who still live in these fast changing streets, the thought must often occur after all are We 90 much better of than our fathers and mothers. and are We enjoying life any more, or as much as they did? Complexity has not add. ed to the basic pleasures of existence which are much the same generation after generation. and one does not hazard much in asserting that the Heights was happier place in which 10 live forty years ago than 1t is to- day.

Stewart L. Noodford Oliver Wendell Holmes. James c Blaine General Mcclellan. Horace Porter. Rutherford B Hayes and Benjamin F Harrison
 + is iittie wonder that contact with these and other less known men from all quarters af fhe globe early bred in Mr Herbert Bowen mind tho deter imitation lo enter the diplomatic field.
 After somewhat dssaItaHv Frenar- atory training beth here and abroad Mr Bowen entered Tale University or. as f was then known 4aia College. lis faculty WIS recruited almost au= tirely from the Congregational minis try of that day and jn consequence dull. depressing classroom and uuin- spring recitations and lectures were the order of the day
 Even in this dry as dust atmosphere an occasional professor could be found in whom every spark of humor and human kindness had not been eXtin= gaished. and the many little anecdotes Mir Bowen tells of these rare eNeep= tions are delightful reading. Amongst the students of his time were many whose names are household words :; Bob Cook, Bill Taft. Walter Camp. and many others. II is interesting to note that the society known as Wolf s Head" as well as the "Yale News. ' owe their origin Co the efforts of MT Herbert Bowen.
 Becomes a Lawyer
 After college came his trip abroad his return to enter Columbia Law School. and finally the hanging out of his shingle as q full-hedeed lawyer one of whose first cases brought him in contact with the famous Ferdinand Ward. who cut such a swath on the Heights in the eighties.
 During all this time MT. Bowen lived in the old home and added to its prestige by establishing the famou' Tuesday literary evenings whicf brought the Heights younger set to- -ather to sit at Che feet of such cele hritiag as Richard Henry Stodaard Edmund Clarence Stedman. Mrs Louise Chandler Moulten, Franl Stockton. and William Henry Bishop
