Every Saturday afternoon and perhaps OMe Hight cach week do something worth while that vou have never done before—something besides going to a show or walking aimlessly about. You might begin with the islinds, sinee New York is seated mainly upon istand i vou ever gone to Ellis Leland and seen the immigrants just before they are poured into “the hoppers of Anglo-Saxondom”? Have you been to Blackwell's Island and seen the old men and women panpers sunning themselves and the work- house charges toiling in the nation’s only municipal stone quarry? | Have you been to Governor's Island and seen the rookies at home | end the old Colonial mansions that house their officers? Streets and bridges come next, Ef you start in and walk east and west all along the cross streets of Manhattan, covering four or five 6treets in an afternoon, you will learn of a thousand things you never @reamed of. Most challenging of all, you will discover the city within the city—the brick and wooden houses which have no street frontage and are approached through covered passages that give no hint of the life within. Have you ever fonght the wind on Queensboro Bridge or walked across the Manhattan Bridge, or seen the pious Jew casting his sins into running water from the footpaths of Williamsburg Bridge? Did you ever walk at night across High Bridge, and do you know what poet walked there in nights long past? The city’s government, nearly thrice as old as the nation’s, is really mach more interesting. When were you last at a session of the Board of Aldermen? When did you awaken echoes of history in the corners of the Governor's Room? Were you ever in the Mayor's Oifice? Did you spend so much as an hour at either of the municipal budget shows, the beat show) Broadway has know Have.! Were you ever in the Tambs, or at Police Headquarters, or at the Morgue? Have you attended a} erssion of the Night Court? Have you studied the colored marbles in the Hall of Records? Maybe people interest you in their hours of ease. Have you to a chowder at College Point? Did you ever march through the streets wearing a pearl-colored #louch hat and carrying a red lantern? Have you attended a Platt-Deutech picnic? What do you know of the Austrian Peasants’ ball? Have you sat in with one of the Sunday night dining clube and acclaimed their volunt _ Vaudeville? Have you broken bread with all of the “liberal” clubs? Were you ever at Socialist fair or Anarchist ball? Have you been to an armory drill? Have you seen a good prize fight, or spent a Gay at the races? Have you walked in the grand march ata “masque and civic’? Were you ever at a Bleecker street negro watch night? Have you spent a Bagdad night on a recreation pier? Perhaps you seek culture, Did you put in one afternoon this year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art? When were you in the American Musoum of Natural History? What do you know at first hand of the Columbia Library? Have you studied the architecture | of tho College of the City of New York? Have you stood in the! portico of the Hall of Fame? Do you visit the free art shows in Fifth avenue? How many symphony concerts do you hear in season ¢ | Were you ever at one of the public achool lectures? To know thia city’s foreign quarters ia to know abroad. you get your wedding gifts in Chinatown? Have you bought Russian Drasa in Allen street and Syrian brass in Washington street? Have you taken tea in a Roumanian shop? Have you burned tobacco with tho Canal street “intellectuals”? Have you seen an Ttalian marionette show, or had an evening of Yiddish vaudeville, or im- proved your German at the theaire in Irving Vlnce? Mave you sipped arrac in Little Syria or ‘Purkish coffee in Lexington avenue? Have you studied all the religions of Bubel at firet hand?
