| New York.-New York is know ing a great change in tourist trade. The tide is no longer in the direc- tion,of Europe. Visitors are flock | ing into Manhattan at the rate of two million month.
 Few of them, however, see the city. Thaht is, not unless they have a guide. Fifty years ago it was simple. II you saw Castle Garden, climbed | the dome of the World building, lrode on horse cars along the Wa l terfront, took in couple of plays | on 14th street and stopped at the Fifth Avenue hotel. you really had skinned the cream. But to-day | left to yourself, you will probably miss most of the newest buildings and most of the old landmarks.
 The problem is to select the things in New York which really are worth while.
 The need of direction is obvious when you remember that New York is the greatest Italian, Jew ish and negro city in the world That it has large Turkish, Finnish Spanish, Russian, Chinese, German and French quarters. That there are more sidewalk cafes on Man. haitian Island than in Paris. That the roof gardens are better than thoses the Egyptians boasted about l
 Doing Sightseeing
 the Obvious Way
 There are various ways of see ing the city. The first is to do the obvious. Radio City, the Aquarium the Metropolitan and the Museum of Natural History, the Brona Park Zoo, Macy's, Wall street Schrafft's, the Empire State build ling, any Broadway Musical show a trip around Manhattan Island on the Seeing New York" boat and St Johns and St Patricks cath. edrals belong in the obvious class You will need no direction other than the routine of any sight-see- ing tour pamphlet to reach these places.
 Still another way of seeing New York is to follow the method ot the majority of Americans whC toured Paris in boom times. They stopped at expensive hotels, did the most exotic night clubs, and patronized the luxury shops.
 Again you will need no special directions for finding these places Any one can tell you where the Waldorf, Pierre's, Delmonicos, the Ritz, the Plaza, the St Regis and the Savoy Plaza are. A walk through 57th street from Madison to 9th avenues will lead you past the expensive speciality shops. Ii you see the Casino de Paree, the Cotton Club, the Hollywood, and Paradise Cafes, or Billy Roses Mu. sic hall, you have done the butter and-egg route of night clubs.
 Taking in Manhattan's
 Many Villages
 A third sightseeing roai through New York is by way of tho villages. To me, this is the mos interesting, and in brief time gives you fair knowledge of tn, entire city.
 The principal villages, once sep arate but now a part of New York are the Battery Park section, whicf includes Wall street and lower Broadway; the Ghetto that run! the length of the lower East Side Chinatown at the start of the Bow cry, Greenwich Village on thu lower West Side, Gramercy park midway between Chelsea and S Marks-in-the-B -Bowerie; Chelsea, which includes the French and { portion of the Spanish settlemen and comes just above Greenwich Village. Then there is Murry Hill with the Empire State Buildin: , at 34th street and Fifth avenue as a southwest boundary line Park avenue, Times Square Town Yorkville that includes the Eas eos where President Roosevelt New York home is. and the bee gardens of East seth street. He'll Kitchen in the far West sos Bloomingdale, that takes in Co lumbia university. Harlem witt the Cotton club for the hot spot and Carmensville at the upper en' Of Manhattan Island.
