from uptown, followed by a procession of the morbid and the curious. Old-timers wagged their heads and deplored the passing of a quaint, quiet quarter of “little old New York.” The profligate era went out with Prohibition. Night clubs, already groggy with the impact of the depression, “took the count.” No one mourned their passing. They had been aliens in the Village, foreign to its traditions and true character. With their exit, the Village regained tranquility and the “obscure world atmosphere” which was at once its chief asset and allure. Visitors still trek to this part of town, but they are discriminating rather than merely adventurous. There are fine restaurants here, with excellent cuisine and mellowed wines that are reminiscent of Paris. And there are novelty shops and art shops and book shops that draw their trade from every part of the city. Most of the better and indigenous inns and restaurants have weathered both post-war prosperity and post-prohibition depression. The Pepper Pot, The Mad Hatter, The Black Cat, Pirate Den, Pig and Whistle, are among the best that flourish as of yore, drawing new trade from the fine apartment buildings that have grown up overnight on the west side of Sixth Avenue. The Brevoort and Lafayette restaurants are famous on both sides of the Atlantic. These hardly rate as Village places, though they are in the Village boundaries, and perhaps more than any other restaurants in town, maintained when Washington Square and lower Fifth Avenue were the most aristocratic places in New York. Both the Brevoort and Lafayette are French, in cuisine and atmosphere. A visit to them is an hour in Paris. The clientele of these restaurants is interesting, — largely drawn from successful artists, writers, journalists, and actors. There are many reminders of France in Greenwich Village. The Washington Arch, which stands in the Square facing lower Fifth Avenue, suggests on a small scale the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

A plaque marking the squalid, forsaken red brick dwelling where Georges Clemenceau, “Father of Victory,” had a garret lodging when as an impecunious young French teacher he lived and struggled here, is another reminder of France, of the valiant spirit of that great land that knows so well the dark hour of tragedy that must precede the dawn of victory. Greenwich Village too knows that spirit. This tiny island is the setting for many an heroic struggle against bitter odds. There are dreamers in the Village, but there are also toilers. There is hope here and courage, — ambush sufferer, — that crucible of achievement! Someone has said that Paris is Paris because so many have spent their happiest days there. I sometimes think that Paris is Paris, with its indescribable charm and mellowed bouquet, because so many have worked and suffered and hoped there. It is in the bruising, like the bruising of a flower, that a gallant spirit yields its perfume. In lesser degree, — limited only by its fewer years and smaller confines, — this is true of Greenwich Village, — a picturesque setting for hope and courage, and achievement.

As to French Art, which interests us particularly, with special emphasis on the art of the eighteenth century, it is incontestable that Matteau, Fragonard, La Tour, Boucher, Le Brun and many others, who chose works which have a place of honor in American galleries (whether in the North or the South, the East or the West), have served and still serve as "initiators" for many Americans into the spirit of France. For, despite fashions, formulas, and political passions, the soul of a great people always follows a certain rhythm, which is repeated from age to age. The grâce evoked by Matteau in the eighteenth century is the same (is it not?) that we find in the stone Virgins of Gothic cathedrals sculpted by obscure and unknown artists, or in the works of Willette and Hellel in the nineteenth century. The evocation of simple, humble life by Le Nain, is it not of the same ancestry as that of Millet? The psychological acuteness of Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec, is it any different from that of Couet? Thus, across the centuries, the diverse aspects of the same school of art may, with variants, form the synthesis of the soul

Thus, across the centuries, the diverse aspects of the same school of art may, with variants, form the synthesis of the soul of a nation; and yet, it seems proper to evoke today the charming and spiritual school of French painting of the eighteenth century, perhaps the most representative of the French race. The eighteenth century, after the pomp and solemnity which accompanied Louis XIV, revived truth in art. Grâce and charm do not exclude sincerity. If Matteau, pure poet that he was, created dreamy painting, Chardin painted the scenes of kitchen life and... his pantry. Among the works of this brilliant school, some of which are produced herewith, there are unusually fine specimens to be found in American collections. With a bit of attention, we can understand all the subtlety of this art, mode doubtless of charm, but much more profound than we often imagine: for grâce sometimes hides melancholy, the languor of poet, and frivolity, but also a vitality which is ready to assert itself and transform the social mechanism of the world. Truly, this is a subtle evocation of states of mind where refined taste and joy play an important role, but where much more important problems are in a state of gestation. Certainly, Beauty and Art have given the world many masterpieces; but, after all, should they not

(4) After North's double, South is of course strong enough to make a free bid at almost any level. West realized East’s jump raise has been based on strong distribution but little in honors. It seemed unlikely East could win more than one trick defensively, and West’s maximum limit seemed to be two tricks. The only hope for a fourth was to ruff a diamond. West, therefore, opened the King of diamonds, hoping East would have either the Ace or the Queen. The Queen would be equally satisfactory, for West would get the lead on the first round of spades and could then look for a chance to put East in either in diamonds or — if declarer held up the Ace — in hearts or clubs. Since East held the diamond Ace, the contract was defeated in the first four tricks. On the King East played the ten, a very encouraging card. A diamond continuation put East in with the Ace and when a low diamond was led back, West ruffed with the Jack of spades. Nothing could take the Ace

Œuvre des architectes Carrère et Hastings, construite au début du siècle sur l’emplacement de l’ancien réservoir « Croton » qui alimentait en eau la ville de New York. L'accès aux salles de lecture est libre. Salle principale de 768 places. Rayons pour 2,500,000 volumes.
