NEW YORK
wih GiIbert Swan

This was the "reading room" It was empty. There were two soap boxes for seats, and a dilapidated chair which l learned later had been borrowed from a neighboring grocer. A scraggy assortment of laundry had been hung across the little space and dripped down un- comfortably near the head of any customer who might enter.
 walked back to the curtain partition and stuck my head through. A huge bare room loomed darkly. Button the floor space was a tragic travesty on . roadside gypsy camp.
 A tiny baby was but few inches away. with only blanket between its body and the floor. On other blankets reciined the others: three middle-aged men. with comic opera mustachios; an elderly women, | slightly younger woman, q girl of about IS and . few others. A can- dle furnished such light as there was. Bare spots on the floor were sprinkled with the remains of meals. Half a loaf of bread was on one box. .
 The elderly woman ambled out. and set about the business of tell ing my fortune. While still in her earlier stages of abracadabra. I in- terupted:
 T don't want the story of my life .. here's a dollar! I want to know about you. Why are you here? Why aren't you on the road? What are you doing around New York at this time of year? The towns full of gypsies."
 She eyed me suspiciously. but another dollar opened her mouth. Around the corner you will see an old auto," she began. "Thcse are all my people. We have but one car. Times have been hard. We have no money this year. The young girl is my daughter. So Is the other woman. That is her baby. 1 The men are their husbands. It Is so now that we must have money -and there is none-it is 50 with all of them. We cannot buy gas-- we cannot move"
 My pretty Actions began to ex- ; plode. had always thought hat 1 gypsies didn't need money. That they just got up and. left. That, som chow, they drifted in and drift ed out. That they were not like the rest of us. That. if worst came to worst. they stole horses. guess gas 10 harder to lift"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-14

New York.-Although 1t Is sum- mer and the open road is dry throated from calling. hundreds of Manhattan gypsies are stranded in the city this year.
 In the process of absorption they have purchased autos and taken to themselves other possess sions. Now they find themselves chained like the rest of us. They have let their acquisitiveness dull the urges that are centuries old.
 With the millions of other New Workers, they boil like wiggling Holsters In the city's great cauld- ron. Along the main streets and the side-streets, the huge hands and heads that are the banners of their fortune.telling trade, hang lofts. Fat and pimply faced women huddle in the meager shade of doorways uncomfortable and mis- erable in their bulky, many-hued costumes. You find them on the east side, west side and all around the town; in Coney Island and at q score of beach resorts.
 These have chosen to burden LHeHlSelVeS Wltn IUdHCIdI TebpOH- abilities. Hard times have come and they are sullen prisoners of the city. The very illusion of their name fades.
 And so one of the last of my pleasant Actions evaporates!
 It was just the afternoon, when the humidity was hanging around 80, that the charted head of for tune-teller caught my eye in 6 lowly section of Third avenue. It was tackled to the backboards of a dirty window. The window was one of three in what had been q good-sized store.
 I looked about for the familiar figure of the sooth-sayer, and sec Ing no one about. walked through the doorway. A few feet from the entrance grease and oil stained curtain made an abrupt and for bidden partition.
 Another curtain had been hung. SO that 1t formed the base of a triangle with two corner windows as the sides.

 NO, indeed. The underground places are lighted and heated by electricity. It seems almost lik' daylight there.
