Modernity Encounters Some Snags New York’s Oldest Home of Apartment Type Still in Use. BY HELEN WORDEN Tim** >peil Writer N’EW YORK. March 14—Old buildings abound in New York. There are plen’y left in a city where nothing is supposed to be permanent. In contradiction to the “here today. gone t'morrow” philosophy New York, is the Rutherford Stuyvesant, the town's oldest .-.partment house at 142 E. 18th-st. "It was built about 1869,” Mrs. CSa’ ton Hamilton, wife of the drama’ ic critic, said yesterday. •"We've lived in this same house 21 years!" The Hamiltons’ apartment has the charm of French windows, open fireplaces and high ceilings. “It's home to us,” said Mrs. Hamilton, for my two boys grew up here!” Richard Hunt the architect responsible for many early Newport palaces, designed the Stuyvesant. Owned by Princess “The Princess Elizabeth Chimay owns it," said William Knight, agent for the landmark. “Her former husband, the late Rutherford Stuyvesant, a descendant of Peter Stuyvesant, put it up. According to record it was the first apartment house built in the United States.” The Rutherford Stuyvesant lends rlasstothequiet block on E. 18th-st, between Irving-pl and Third-av. Its sober red brick walls, imposing mansard roof and black wrought iron balconies suggest heavy Victorian aristocracy. Among the famous tenants who passed in and out its doors were Etlwm Booth. Bayard Taylor. Mrs. George Armstrong Custer, widow of the Indian fighter, and Mr. arid Mrs. Harry Pollard. She Is Chrystal Herne. Present-day residents include Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Herford, Edmund Orencen. head of the Grand Central Art School, and Mr. and*Mrs. Frederick Van Wyck. He is the author of "Recollections of an Old New Yorker." “And he looks like a Southern colonel,” said Mrs. Hamilton. "He is just the tvpe for our house!” O. Henry Knew of House Frederick Van Wyck's cousin. Robert Van Wyck. used to be mayor of New York. The brown stone front where he lived on E. 46ih-st is now Fan and Bill's chophouse. O. Henry strolled by the Rutherford Stuyvesant every day on his way to the Sheffrl Hall, at Third-av and 17th-st. He drank beer and wrote many of his stories there. It's a restaurant now. of the bicyclebuilt -for-two type. There is much singing and old-fashioned pianoplaving on Saturday nights. The proprietor's friends.

Jingo picked up the picture of her father from the dresser and held it with both hands. "John Dey's children.” she said fiercely. "He has children of his own—and yet he took you from me. And Dr. Bob says I must take care of his children while they are sick. I'm afraid. Daddy—” The clock on her table said it was 11. In one more hour she would be downstairs on the second floor with a small bov and girl; Jackie and Betty Lou Dey. And as she went about her preparations, memories surged back to her in a flood. That terrible night when Tom Carter had died with her name on his lips; when she had turned to the small group who stood about her: “They have taken my Dad—” It was six months since she had crept down the narrow stairs of the apartment building on the other side of the city and slipped away into the darkness. Six months since Harry had held her in his arms and kissed her, whispering of his love for her; since she had turned from the old life into the routine of hospital work. Mechanically she began to gather together the things she would need; the white dresses, the celluloid dresser set with the gold "J” on the back of each. “Dad told me Harry would watch out for me—and he did,” she whispered. “Until that night five months ago—but you must understand! I couldn't go back. I couldn’t. "And, now. Dr. Bob says I must take care of John Dey’s children. If it hadn't been for John Dey I’d have my father! I can’t do it—l’m afraid.” In the top drawer of her dresser lay the white kid box containing the lovely, old gold bracelet and necklace, the “Merry Christmas to Jessica.” and beside it was a dried mass of purple violets against green tissue with its hastily scribbled note: “You were not in the nursery when I called. Dr. Bob said you were resting. I wanted you to know I missed you. Tomorrow . . .” Jingo straightened her shoulders. There would be other tomorrows when he would be coming to find her. standing in the doorway, always smiling—Mr. Jock believed in her. She leaned over and looked at her face in the mirror, brushing away the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. “Please come back soon, Mr. Jock— ■** There was a rap at the door, and Dr. Laird's jovial voice. “Our patients have arrived and are snug in bed, lassie. They are waiting for their nurse.” “I'm coming." she called back, and then, beneath her breath, “I’m going to take care of—Jo*.,n Dey's children—” * u TWO red, feverish faces against white pillows, two tearful, young voices begging for “Daddy” and "Granny” welcomed her into the suite of rooms at the end of the second floor hall. Dr. Laird stood in the door between the two rooms. “In here," he said waving his hand toward the dark head against the

white, “is our friend Jackie Dey. And his sister Betty Lou is in this room. And here is your nurse, little folks. You are going to like Miss Jessica, very, very much.” “But we want daddy—” wailed Betty Lou. “Your daddy will be coming home soon. Betty Lou," Dr. Laird told her, kindly. "And in the meantime you must do as Miss Jessica tells you.” "I want a drink—” demanded the small girl. Jingo mechanically filled a glass of water and applied it to the child's lips. A hot, little hand closed over hers and the little girl’s eyes solemnly contemplated her. Then the child smiled. “I like you,” she decided. “Fine.” remarked Dr. Laird approvingly. “Betty Lou is not as sick as her brother, but she will be worse before she is better. She let Jackie get the start on her this time,” and he chuckled as he smoothed back the yellow curls that clung to the child's forehead.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KINNEY Secretary American Bridge League THIS is the fifth of six unusual hands played by the national open pair champions. Johnny Rau and Charles Lochridge, both of New York. A great many players can play their cards well, but have a hard time explaining to others how to make fine bids and plays. These two young players are the exception. I have heard both lecture on bridge and they are in a class by themselves. It would be a real treat for bridge fans to hear these boys on the same lecture platform. In discussing today's hand, Mr. Lochridge’s explanation was short and clear, but let's get down to the point of the play first. 000 MR. LOCHRIDGE was sitting in the West, and against the fourheart contract he opened his singleton eight of diamonds. Mr. Rau won the trick with the ace, but instead of returning a diamond, he led a club in response to his partner's club bid. South put on the jack and West won the trick with the queen. The next play was the critical one of the hand. Here's Mr. Lochridge's explanation: “You might say that it would look natural to play the ace and one heart, to prevent declarer from ruffing clubs, but then he would not

“Now, Jackie gets his medicine every hour. It is on a tray beside his bed. You will be comfortable here, lassie. I shall come in often.” Jingo nodded dully from her chair beside Betty Lou's bed. She attempted to withdraw her hand, but the child still clung to it. “I’ll go to sleep if you tell me a story,” she lisped. There was an Insistent demand from the next room for a drink of water. Jingo drew in a sharp, little ureath as she bent over the bed and slipped her arms beneath Jackie’s shoulders. Laughing, brown eyes that crinkled at the corners—and as she held the glass of water to his lips, she whispered fiercely: "Oh, why do you have to look like him? Why do you look—as he must have looked—when he was your age? Why should John Dey’s child remind me of —Mr. Jock—when he is away—and I miss him so?” tt tt a BACK in Betty Lou’s room, walking back and forth—the little

need to ruff any clubs, as they could be discarded on the diamonds.” Mr. Lochridge, of course, assumed that South must have the ace and king of spades to justify his original bid and jump bid. Mr. Lochridge continued: “There’s only one play that will defeat the contract; you must keep control of the trumps and, at the same time, you must lead a trump, so the play is to lead a small trump.” Now, doesn’t it look simple? There’s no way that the declarer can keep from losing a trick to the ace of clubs and the ace of hearts. Look the hand over carefully and see if you would have returned a small heart.

girl was asleep, a doll in her arms. The afternoon passed and twilight came into the sick rooms. Each time she attended Jackie, he smiled at her and she turned from him. When Betty Lou awoke, she again demanded a story and held fast to Jingo’s hand as the girl told the story of Peter Pan. She heard the door open, close gently, and knew that Dr. Bob was listening, too. When she finished, he smiled. "Fine! That is going to help a lot.” Jingo looked up at him. “I can remember my dad was telling me that story when I was sick,” she said slowly, distinctly. "It was the day of the pay roll robbery and he had just finished when those men came with the satchels —and he made them take it back—every dollar—but they got him after all—” "Lassie,” gently. “We must not think of unhappy things. There are beautiful memories.” She shrugged her shoulders as she arose to her feet. “Beautiful? Would you have anything beautiful to think about if the dearest person in the world was killed—as my dad was?” “Then think of the future, my child. Bright days are ahead. Days filled with love and happiness if you will wipe that bitterness from your heart. Old Dr. Bob knows—” He came a step nearer and placed his hand on her shoulder. “They tell me that one of these days I am going to her. Any day, perhaps. And I want to be sure before I go that you have found the deep, abiding peace you deserve —the peace that comes with love—and you will find it. my child.” Dr. Laird was seldom far away in the dreary, long days that followed. Many times as she sat at one bed or another, he would tiptoe down the hall and into the room; would stand, smiling at her, nodding approval as she answered questions from the little patients. “Splendid, lassie,” he said approvingly one day in early April. “It won’t be long now before they will be going home again. And now I must not forget that I have a message for you.” He drew a letter from his pocket and Jingo turned to him, eagerly. "I had a letter from Jock this morning. He is worried about the new r wing and says he will be home soon. I told him he was to rest completely; not write letters or worry about anything. He ends the letter with —” Dr. Laird adjusted his glasses on his nose and unfolded the paper m his hand. Jingo waited. Why was he so slow? “Yes,” eagerly. "He says here in the last paragraph,” slowly turning the sheet in his hand. "My kindest regards to Jessica. Tell her I miss her and it will not be long be.'ore I will be back. I have kept my promise to you, Dr. Bob, and written no letters’—” She hugged the words to her heart. Dr. Laird replaced the letter in his pocket and turned his attention to Jackie. It would not be long; her heart was singing. (To Be Continued)
