As near an imitation as America | can furnish of an English tenan‘ry’s jubilee at the homecoming of the) Lord of the Manor was witnessed at Arden Thursday evening. ; Arden, which is forty-five miles out of New York on the Erie, 1s the country seat of Mr. E.

Every ‘building in the town hadbeen decorated with flags, and from the frees near the station Japanese lanterns hung in symbolic festoons. A large transparency flashed forth the sentiment, “Japan Was Never Like This.” As the train approached the band broke out with “The Star Spangled Banner” and two hundred school children sang and waved flags, while the crowd cheered and shouted “Welcome home, Mr, Har- riman!” vere evenmmee (beoo | MHD: | Meantime red fire was burtting on the'hill near the Harman man- sion; rockets shot up into space and bombs burst in air in showers of colored stars’ The band again rendered “The Star Spangled Banner” and other appropriate selections, and the crowd dispersed. In every way it was the most flattering testimonial to a magnates homecoming that can be recalled. The Duke of Morristown,” Mr. Me- | Curdy, has never had anything like It. No Baron of Bernardville or | Prince of Pocantico, not even Mr. Morgan himself, has been greeted with $0 royal a welcome. | In the glad acclaim of Mr, Harriman's return others besides the | villagers of Arden will join, not least Mr. Charles E.

It is in its difference from the Darlington that the object lesson of the old Plaza is most significant.
