Highways and By-Ways of Lil’ or New York By RAYMOND CARROLL 1 (Copyright, 1923; by Public Lodger Company.) ———

NEW YORK, May 10.—Central Park, the most beautiful and the most famous *ot New York’s many parks, at last has been opened to all the public, those of slender purses as well as those with fat bank accounts. It has taken stxty-three year* New York to rise to the importance of giving persons who cannot afford their own motorcars or private eq'-ipsges full opportunity to see the park by riding through it for a five-cent fare. Week end, “through-the-park” municipal bus service was duly installed with f-rty busses operating between FiftyN'.nfh street and 110th street, after a preliminary trial. The service will opop* rate Saturdays. Sundays and holidays. The starting of these five-cent tare busses suggest the releasing of a ruthless finger that has been pressing at New York's throat. It Is quite unnecessary to indicate directing the forces the pressing finger ail these years. After the finger is lifted one cannot escape see’ng the blessings resulting, one simply has to marvel at the tolerance of a public which patiently waited so long for its rights upon its own property. I recall when Mayor Garner opened Riverside Drive to the ten-cent busses: if was the sensation of the hour. I should now like to see any interest attempt their removal. And what a boon they have been, not only to strangers sightseeing, but to fiat dwellers, who found their only moderate-priced relief from the heat on summer nights atop these same busses! The opening of Central Park to five cent busses by Mayor Dylan Is quite as notable an event to "the people who haven't" on the East Side as was the opening of Riverside Drive by the earlier mayor, who also came from Brooklyn. Along with the ‘‘great unwashed"—a favorite name for the people of the East t-i'le among the dinner-dance set of Park avenue—l took two nickel rides In Central Park this morning, up and back, respectively. It was absorbingly interesting for instead of a silly chatter about rhe latest divorces or what boat somebody was sailing on for Europe. I heard real informative conversation upon what was actually taking place in

Europe—at Genoa, at Rome, at Moscow, at Berlin, at Paris, and at London. And the comments were made from a distinctly American standpoint. Imagine a Russian Jew reading aloud what Lenin had said with regard to the breaking down of sovietism. He gladly translated from Russian what purported to be Lenln'a verbal tashlng of hIS subordinates, calling them Inefficient and worse. “You see, the death knell has been sounded for Bolshevism,” said my bus neighbor. "It must break up from wlthing Russia, and It would have done so long ago but for the armies the allies sent against the Reds." I was Indeed surprised to hear Attorney General Daugherty discussed, not for what he had done, but for what he had not done In getting after the war profiteers. A slender lad, who said he was a student at New York University, railed attention to Mr. Daugherty's reported sending of Department of -Justice agents to shadow members of Congress who were demanding of Daugherty action against the men who had enriched themselves out of the National Treasurj- while these same Congressmen were in the Army. It was a solid, sensible talk one heard upon all sides of the bus, flavored now and then by expressions of delight at some object in the park. A 2-year-old boy came within an ace of falling out of the window In his eagerness to arouse appreciation from his tired faced mother at a flock of her sheep gamboling on the green grass. Everybody seemed to be friendly and optimistic, many having brought with them their favorite morning newspaper. Here and there a bus rider would espy a big tree with spreading branches over an Inviting empty bench, and. signaling the driver-conductor, take departure for a realization of the promised enjoyment. Instead es boasting of what they had seen at the theater or cabaret or relating the possession of an ideal bootlegger, of dilating upon "my new car," th® women observed in the municipal busses were whispering to each other of some

Fortunate In the possession of an intimate knowledge of the park through previous taxicab and hansom-cab trips along the West drive and the East drive, which are the main arteries of the public playground, I was enabled to answer most of the questions asked as to the identity of buildings and statues. It was pathetic the hungry eagerness with which the information was received.

i 'ira mm * wrong with marriage

SHE has had more marital troubles confided to her than any one else. Letters,“personal and confidential,” come to her from the Philippines, from Manchuria —from the world over. Girls between seventeen and twenty-two write most frequently. Again at thirty-five women seek her help. Men of thirty ask her advice more often than cocksure youths of twenty. Thousands upon thousands, married and single, youpg and old, have followed her safely past the shoals upon which love and marriage are so often wrecked. Because, while others theorize, and moralize, and preach about what ought to he, she knows how to reconcile romance and matrimony. If you are married, and fear some day to find happiness a glimmering illusion—if you are going to marry but dread to follow married people you know, do not by any chance miss reading—Beatrice Fairfax’s “What’s the Matter with Matrimony,” in June Cosmopolitan.

Three are nine miles of drives, six miles of bridle paths and thirty miles of walks; there are thirty-six bridges or archways and twelve tunnels and seats on the benches for more than 25,000 persons. There are twenty-three gates to the park, and the park's chief charm lies In the suddenness with which one comes upon the silver surface of a lake, the entrance of a sylvan dell or a vista of shaded lawn. The northbound bus trip started from

the Scholar’s gate at Fifth avenue and Fifty-Ninth street, following the East drive, returning from 110th street down the West drive to the Artisan’s gate and Seventh avenue and Fifty-Ninth street. Through the foliage of the trees border lng Fifth avenue one was able to point out the marble palaces In millionaire's row.
