 Spring comes in on an angels footStep and walks in beauty through the world. Its gentle winds are whispers of Paradise, and the city huns with peace -. There is soft music for the Spirit-and life is a waltz. If you listen intently you can hear all the sounds oi happiness The days are balmy in the middle and crisp around the elges Nightclubbers who usually avoid daylight like a plague come out in the mid-afternoon sun and blink Natures de- lights make its handmade imita- tions of beauty and amusement seem like third-rate fakers Broadway and Hollywood stars can't match the stars that use the skies for their screen and stage '. When spring appears-it marks the start of the most thrilling show on earth.
 The bright spotlight of sunshine underlines the shabby piles of Main Stem architecture Pushcart 0alesmen, who hawked roasted chestnuts during the Winter, have reconverted for Spring and are now peddling ice-cream pops The off-key conversational bab ble around bars is packed with base ball gab Gamblers use lengthy cigars like batons to punctuate their opinions.

Teen-agerS rollerskate along the paved paths displaying peaches and-cream comp:exions that only health can brew Artists squat on park benches brisky sketching the surrounding scenes The steadying hum of passing cars seems to fit the silence without breaking 1t Strollers clean their lungs with the antiSeptic air The luminous magic of dusk blends with the silky temperatures and dedicates itself to love.
 Each Sabbath afternoon the na- tives of our burg hold a joyous re- , union with Spring .. Deep-throat- ed church bells provide the perfect accompaniment for the peaceful symphony that grips the city Families wrapped in theier best duds walk through the residential sections, stopping occasionally to chat with neighbors You can find sunbathers on roofs exposing their epidermis to dose of Vita min D This. is the one day in the week when our turbulent town settles down to a hush.
 Sun.spIashed baby waves rhum- baing across the East River This sector is flanked by compell. ing sights that you want to freeze in your mind-and keep forever People sit for hours gazing at the river, while furnishing their castles in-the-air with daydreamS Tiny boats sway on the water like a candle in a breeze The cool kindliness of evening winds Sooth- ing away troubles-as tugs slow. ly move across the river like gla. ciers Foghorns Shattering the silence with a sudden moanologue
 Natures busy fingers start weav- ing green tapestries for the parks (. . Trees shake tiny tamborines oi leaves as playful breeze scoot: along The sharp notes of birdi carve Joy out of sound Relaxed humans squat in the easy chairs of their serenity and gaze at tht
