1 rity THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1920 New York vs. Chicago Miss May Christie, an English Author, in Comparing the Two Cities, Confesses That the “Windy City” Lacks the Impressiveness to Be Found Here. e Miss Christie is considered the Laura Jean LAbbey of the British Teles. ‘She recently arrived in America, Her vivid impressions of New York and Its People, published exclusively in The Evening World, have @ppealed to thousands of readers, By May Christie Cuprriaht, 1920, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New Tork Wrening World.) CHICAGO, Jan. 29, 1920. AM visiting Chicago. 1 “How does Chicago compare with New York?” Iam asked. “How Go the Middle Westerners size up beside the Busterners?” “Comparisons are odious,” runs the proverb. But certain differences tn the two cities do definitely strike the newly arrived Britisher. ‘To begin with, Chimgo ts so “scattered.” It spreads for miles and miles tm all directions, It lacks New York’s compactness, its accessfbility. Secondly, its elevated railroad is so much slower than New York's! ‘Timing one’s journey according to New York standaie is quite fatal. One arrives at least « half hour jate! Although Chicago is a huge city, it somehow lacks New York's tm- presntvenees, The glorious vison of skyscrapers towering heavenward— the sight that greets the newcomers astonished eyes in approaching New York from the river—is lacking in Chicago. But the welcome that the stranger gets is quite delightful. 1 will not ‘olaim that the Middle Westerner is more hospitable than the real New Yorker. But he's a very friendly, kindly being—hospitauble to a degree— and just as proud of his big city as the Easterner is of “li'l old New York.” The big Inke in Chicago fascinates me, It looks just like the ocean, Each morning when I wake I gaze out over its wintry, windy expanse, won- OH, SURE, THERE’S NO CRIME IN NEW YORK! | @ering about distant shores I cannot see—the shores that seem whole con- | tinents away. \ Below my window rolls an endless stream of limousines and cars of every kind. Watching the fur-robed, fur-cupped crowds, I sometimes feel that this is not America, but Russia—<and that Chicago hag been mysteri- ously changed to Petrograd! But not even Petrograd is colder than Chicago on a rea] cold day! Michigan Boulevard, with its classic columns at one end, looks to me precisely like a Roman boulevard. (Oh, for Italian warmth in this icy city with its freezing blasts!) . But the warmheartedness of Chicagoites makes up for the inclemency of the weather, Their loyalty toward their city—one might almost oall it adoration—also deeply impresses m ew York or London cannot possibly have any store that favorably compares with our Marshall Picld store!" said real Chicagoite as he proudly escorted me around that marvellous “shop.” “We have nothing to equai this in London,” | truthfully rejoined.

As soon as he arrived they pre sented him with a chain and a watch. He carries them with him wherever he goes, The first night in Atlanta they gave him a bath and some welcome soap, Some greeting!

He hasn't spent much since he's been in Atlanta except a lot of time. UCH a delightful winter he’s having South! Archie goes swimming every Saturday night—in the bathtub. No danger of drowning either— jthere’s always a guard right near him, Also plays cards a good dealk— that is, he spends much of his time in solitary, Only one complaint from ‘our hero-he hasn't much time for golfing. Too busy caning chairs. He'd frequently like to try a hole, but a guard is always watching. But from what Archie heard last night, however, the bank clerk next door to him lis now a filing clerk. RCHIE could spend the rest of his life in Atlanta, but he doesn’t want to do that—not while there are still enough folks to invest in olive oi? 4 weils once more. There'll be a lot more oil promoters going South this winter, but that won't keep Archie there. As soon as he leaves Atlanta, Archie says he's going straight home. He may not go straight, but he'll t surely go home. What to Do Until the Doctor Comes, By Charlotte C. West, M. D.
