SUNDAY TENNIS. . Among the citizens of New York there are many hundreds of thousands to whom Sunday furnishes the only opportunity for outdoor exercise, Among these hundreds of thousands there are Aeveral thousand who do not care for walking or for bicycling, but who do care for the game of-lawn tennis. They know that each Sunday other thousands of More fortunate persons are playing tennis out at the ~ Soittitry clubs and summer resorts. “Phey know that each Sunday Van Cortlandt Park Is tréwaed with golt players. They know that those who have the means are Playing in the city on hired courts. ¢¢ They know that in the parks of New York each Sunday scores of fine tennis courts are lying idle, 4 sted by an unreasonable rule. They want to know why this rule cannot be re- pealed, so that they may enjoy, free of charge, the innocent pleasure and the splendid exercise which are being enjoyed all around them by those who can afford ‘to pay club dues or court hire. ' Their desire is perfectly just. The Park Rule is based on a law which prohibits, ec “serious interruptions of the repose and religious fiberty of the community All shooting, hunting, fishing, playing, horse racing, gaming or other public sports, exercises or shows upon the =~ == Jack, the Jester, Whose Merry Pranks Are Told in Four Words AY, SIRRAH!

A the Mothers’ Club, of Jersey Cry Heights, a group of seceding membors, who, with true fem- Inine logic, followed thelr expulsion from tha club vy sending in their res. ignations, have formed a new or- nization, which they christened the Only Kind Words Association, ‘ “We'll show them, the tmpertinent, Dackbiting miasies,” one of the charter _ first day of the week, ae *~ Some weeks ago, on a question of the legality of " Sunday professional baseball, Judge Gaynor held that . the above named pursuits did not violate the Jaw until b “legal proof was brought that they were “serious in- i stérruptions” of some one’s “repose and religious hs , liberty.” According to this ruling the Park Department can Jegally permit the playing of tennis on park courts until Or unless such playing is legally proved to interrupt Sunday repose. Since the Department can give its permission, it sunquestionably should give it to this popular wish for an innocent and healthful Sunday recreation, LANDLORDS AND RENT TROUBLES, 5. The report of the President of the City and Suburban Homes Company showing earnings of 4 per cent, for the yenr is of particular interest because of its bearing on ek recent east side rent war. The company has $3,000,000 invested in model tene- ments accommodating 1,238 families. Its buildings were erected and are maintained in full conformity with the ‘Tenement-House law. Their sanitary condition is ex- eaellent, and they make all required provision for the e@pmfort of tenants. The company has resorted to none of the law-evading expedients by which the landlord of ® certain class economizes at the expense of his tenants’ Laalth while extorting a few dollars more rent. “As a result it has had no anti-rent agitation to meet. gts entire loss through vacancles has been but 8% per pgont, and its loss from arrears but one-third of 1 per cent. In the light of this profitable showing of business- like yet philanthropic management the burden of re- sponsibility for anti-rent disturbances {s seen to Ne more directly on the grasping landlord than on his rack- rented tenants. “ 2. ! CREDITABLE CREDULITY. " There are a good many pessimists who think of New ork as a community of well over three million antag- *onists callously striving to use one another as rungs in *Mhe ladder of success, showing no scruple to those above them and no sympathy to those belaw, regarding gen- erosity as poor business and charity only as an effective members of the new association was quoted as saying, “that they can‘’t run hing on thie hill to sult them- el The name of our new organ- {gation not only Indicates what tne spirit of our action Is to be in future, but ts a rebuke to the gossipy lot ¢f tattling busybodies who think they Jenow all there ts to know about being kind and gentle mothers.” And no the Only Kind Words Arso- ciation was inaugurated. And surely no one famillar with the ordinary con- Vorsation that takes place whenever two or three women are gathered to- Rether will deny that It started with a proper sentimeut. No matter how materially friendly an assemblage of women may be, any one of them Is upt to feel upon leaving, aw Sir Peter Teazle did on quitting the sroup of scandal-mongers at Lady Snoerwell's, that she leaves her char- acter behind her. Bho knows that her clothes, from her 8-oont machine-embrotdered collar to her 2-cent silk laces, will be appraised and commented on; that the urrange- ment of her hair, her walk, the man- ner In which she holds her skirts, will be discussed, and thut when her personal shortcomings have been sifted, her husband and enil- dren will come In for thelr share of criticism, Hut all these women are gossiping withuut a license. How much better for everybody It would he if no woman Were permitted ¢o discuss another with- Out producing a card showing that she is an accredited member of un On!y Kind Words Association duly licensed {0 say anything and everything she pleases. It would be a safe gamble to state that if the minutes of an Only Kind Words Association, formed of any two dozen women at random, were pub- shed, they would exceed In sharp and personal denunciation any session of the Knockers’ Club that was ever held. Some of the very worst gossips are thoso who deal thotr thrusts with an apparently kindly intent, and these would find a ¢ree fleld and no favor In an Only Kind Words Association, The {den Is a great one and will doubtless take deep root, particularly in the women's clubs. Oo method of advertising thelr own prosperity. These cynics should read the story of Willlam David- son and his cough. Davidson was a common swindler, end his consumptive cough was a sham; but even in his *{imited field of operations he found in New York enough €ombinations of soft hearts with credulous minds to make that cough worth $40,000 to him in the last fourteen years. lany may smile at this evidence of widespread guile- felon. but they should remember that there are cases where there is more honor In being duped through sim- ple kindliness than in escaping through sharp worldli- ness. “This little story may not reflect great credit on New York's perspicacity, but it eeems to defend onr city un- amswerably against any sweeping charges of hard-heart- edness. ** BEATEN ON THEIR OWN GROUND.

The men and women in the skiddoo wagon ride along with their noses in the air, leaving behind an odor of gasoline that is distinguishable even in a tenement neighborhood. Is It any. wonder that automobiles are not popular in sec« tions where children swarm, especially when nearly every neighborhood In town can show a case of a child whose life has been separated from it by an automobile?” “The automobilists have a license to run their m chines through the streets,” protested the Cigar Store Man. . “Surest thing you Inow,” agreed the Man Higher Up; “but they have no license to run through the people or the streets.” To-Day’s $5 Prise ‘‘Fudge’’ Idiotorial Was Written by Joseph Doniger, No. 1739 Madison avenue, New York.
