. -[YJ-EW YORK -One of the advantages about 1 a living in this clouded and sinister city that no one ever seems to point out is the fascination 1 that one's residential surroundings hold for one Living in the country may be more peaceful, but living in New York can. at times, be more fun

than a double-feature movie

As I write. I am thinking most specifically of the time when I used to live on Jane street the thoroughfare along which , Alexander Hamilton died. On warm nights in the summer, my roommate and I would take our cans of beer and head for the roof of the apartment building And just

about every night at 8 or 8 30. the same scene

would take place on a neighboring roof Through the roof door would hurst a little Casper Milquetoast man. his shirttails flying

behind him, and galloping along behind him would be a big bleached blonde with a bat or a golf club or a chair-leg in her hand She would chase him right to the edge of the roof and he would stand there, trembling furiously and yelling "For heaven's sake.

Julia, let me alone or I'll jump! I'll jump’”

Then she would glare at him fork minute or so and finally give up in disgust and go trudging dowustaiga through the roof door He would sit down on the edge of the roof and wipe his brow and then follow her downstairs, to goodness knows what kind of ev -nmg ONE OT THESE OAYS a more .sKillt'.u siuuent 01 me /.nieneri* language—H.

FROM TIME TO TIME we have dealt with the parks of New York in this spare but nothing much has been said of one of lb* handsomest of all—the block-square one called Cramercy. situated 01. the cast side in the lower Twenties. Cramercy Park also is an area, like Greenwich Village or the East Side or Broadway, but the park itself is a beautiful bandbox fenced with iron and box hedges and filled with benches and shade trees, underneath which sit beautiful governesses with children The amorous soul. alas, cannot get anywhere near the beautiful governesses because admittance to Cramercy Park is only by key And to procure one of the coveted keys, you must be a resident ot

the park area.

The whole thing stems back to 1831. when a farm belonging to Mayor James Duane was bought by one Samuel Ruggles. who laid out the park and cut it up into 68 lots, which he sold to a select list of New Yorkers---each 0/ whom thus became a joint owner of the

park. '

You had to have the green stuff to grt one of those lots Even Peter Cooper, who had just built the first American locomotive,

couldn’t buy one.

He did build a house nearby, however, on Lexington avenue, and after he founded Cooper Union and helped lay the Atlantic cable. Cramercy Park’s trustees finally unbent and conferred on him a

key to the park. Greater honor hath no man.

The patron saint of Cramercy Park is Edwin Booth, the great Hamlet ot yesteryear, and a bronze statue of that tragic soul stands yet In the park. Situated on the park front is the celebrated Plajisrs club, held dear by all actors, which was started in 1888 by Booth, who commissioned Stanford White to remodel 16 Grameruy ParR
