M GEE, HERE IS SOMETHING: 4 CENTS IS COST View New York Skyline, at Night, Any Old Time, as Long as You Like By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, July 24—For four cents in New York one may get on a boat and ride for an hour, a week or a month . . . I suppose one could stay aboard forever or until the boat was docked for repairs . . These are the ferries on the Hud- son which relay motorists to and from the Jersey shore. Pedestrians only may come in for these unin-. With ! cach crossing the huge saucer-like terrupted rides, however. ferries are emptied of vehicles. Foot passengers have the run of the crafts, which means the smok- ing aisles, or the vast upstairs, where the view is good and the cooling breezes whip in with re- freshing zest. Many people here in the cool of the evening like to get on these boats — any of them, and park themselves on the upper decks, foot on rail, and be wafted back and forth across the river, taking the air‘and enjoying the changing color of the skyline. New York, viewed from afar, is prettiest at this time. The vague blues of the £ky, generally in the Maxfield Parrish manner, envelop the city like soft velvet curtains, and the pinpoints of light in various hues wink from ten thousand windows. PR Ancther Favorite Spot Brooklyn Bridge is also a favorite spot for this vista, and the city as glimpsed from those dark, glooming arches has inspired at least one famous canvas. A couple of summers ago an at- tempt was made to serve peer and ale on the boats, but it never came about. In the mornings, however, one may have coffee and deughnuts, which are served on the up- per deck, an opportunity of which many commuters avail them- selves. The coffee is almost always bad, but the service is pleasant and the pastry is good. Coffee costs a dime, although second helpings come without charge. The pastry is also 10 cents, but there are no re-fills. As it requires about 15 min- utes for each crossing, this gives the office workers hurrying to their chores just time for a bite of breakfast . . .
