Skating Time Illustrated by Artist Ladendorf. ‘ 1B, 116. rr THE JUMEL HQUSE. ‘The desire to preserve the old Jumel house on Wash- ‘ruven Heights by the city’s purchase of it and to make ‘@ park of its grounds is most praiseworthy. To stand ‘by one of the old colonial pillars on the porch of this “historic house and look out over the housetops of Har- “Tem as far as the eye can see is a sight likely to inspire More patriotic sentiment than the perusal of any num; “ber of works of historical fiction. \ The spectator is momentarily in both the past and the present. He sees Roger Morris there and beautiful Mary Philipse, and Washington and perhaps Harvey Birch emerging from behind a clump of shrubbery. He sees the smoke of the battle of Harlem Plains and geis glimpse of red coats and tattered Continental uni- forms. He sees Aaron Burr and Mme. Jumel on the lawn in the moonlight. He sees Hamilton entering the door and a long line of illustrous Americans filing {n to pay their respects to a hostess who, whether good or ill Is sald of her, was one of the remarkable women ot, her time. The Jumel house is to the north of the island of Man- hattan what Fraunce’s Tavern is to the far south. Its preservation is more to be desired than that of any other revolutionary relic in New York. Half of the an- _ tiquarian sentiment that was exerted to preserve the _ Hall of Records ought to assure its retention as a ument of the early social life of the city and as a patriotic place of resort for a new generation. e3e? | “Tf a man wants to be healthy, let oo THE MAN HIGHER UP.
