And an indescribable “tang” was in the atmosphere, as though it were earcharged with electricity. “This New York air is th most exhilarating I've ever experienced!” I remarked to my companion. “On a day like this it even beats the moor- jamd alr of Scotland or the winds that sweep across the Highland hills!” If I were a New Yorker I should make a point of walking miles each day in Prospect Park! The scenery is lovely amd unexpected. Looking up at the great arch that marks one entrance to the Park, I Each turn of the road shows something new te Champs Elysees. “A great piece af architecture, isn’t it?” I remark, looking at this atch just outside Prospect Park. We walk on for a half mile, and—gazing straight from Paris into Scotland! For L here and there a gleam of water showing. Yes, I am surely back in Scot- land! This part of Prospect Park reminds me of the moors near Inverness. A little further on, and “This might be the very heart of England!” I remark, gazing with round me—i am whfted see slender silver birches and WINTER BREEZES MEAN NOTHING TO LOVERS. d@eMghted eyes at the little woodland coppices an jes, with furry little opeatures darting up and down the trees. “How beautiful jt is I watch a much-enamored couple sitting on a bench and holding hands. ‘The wintry winds cannot freeze love, it's said.
