Add to these an Unrivaled Location consider that THE McALPIN is the Largest and Safest Hotel Structure in NEPF TORK CITY and you will understand why it is the Most Talked About and Most Popular Hotel in America today. Prices Notably Moderate Broadway at 34th Street (One block from Pennsylvania Station) Management MERRY & BOOMER in SCHOOL DAY Population of Countryside Demonstrate Their Enthusiasm for a Beautiful All and Sundry the Community Turn Out to Plant and landscape Hie Farm JLife School Property A LAEGE number of automobiles from the village carried their parties last Saturday to see a spectacle which would burden the souls of those pessimistic of the future of the country. At the Hamlet of Eureka is a school. It is also the headquarters of thought and diversion, life and philosophy of the surrounding hamlets. It was planned, built, and is operated by the good-will and effort of its immediate neighborhood. Among the ideas that it injected into the aroused public conscience is that to be either wise, wealthy or happy one must also be presentable. This is sometimes called beauty, sometimes art, but mostly common sense. Once arrived at this conclusion the procedure of the independ ent Scotchmen was unique and com mendable. And quite well worth the observation of the metropolitan school of thought which believes in the paternal and governmental method of bringing up a neighborhood. Mr. Warring Manning, a landscape architect of National reputation, volun teered to lay out a system of walks and paths, of sites for the future develop ment of this school, a play ground, and a planting scheme, if the people would agree to execute it in one day under his direction. Saturday was the day. The plan was all on paper. In automobiles, on mule back, in the old family carriage and overland by foot the sturdy sons and daughters of the Sandhills began to ar rive. They brought wagons and shovels and fried chicken, and their overalls, and the whole business, including the preach er and the local banker, brother Davis and Winter visitors, fell to on ihe scheme. Underbrush disappeared, wood land paths emerged from the brush, in numerable shrubs hauled from the luxu riant swamp took their places among the rapidly appearing walks. Uncle Noah Deaton, sage of the flora of the Eiver Eegion, supplied a wealth of native plants, and eager hands were there to put them in their place. All day the teams hauled clay, the fires burned merrily, the men grubbed stumps and shoveled dirt, dug holes and labored for art. Coffee and sandwiches regaled the tired workmen, the face of the earth was transformed, and both trees for the delight of men's eyes, and an idea of untold value were planted around the Farm Life School. A Great Pity The Highland House at Pine Bluff burned to the ground last Tuesday night. Everyone was successfully rescued, and there was time for an efficient and will ing brigade to get out the people's per sonal effects and clothing. The rest was claimed by the flames. Mrs. Bassett has the profoundest sym pathy of the allied towns. She had not only made the Highland House a pleas ant center for local activities, but had built it into an institution, known from Chicago to Miami as headquarters for the famous river trip, and for sportsmen the world over. Pine Bluff has steadily developed in beauty, the arts of living, good taste and personel all radiating from the little hotel. We suppose it will be rebuilt, better than ever, and that the fire will do no material damage. For it should bring all her hosts of friends rallying to her support. A llrldgre Party A bridge party and luncheon was given early in the week at the Hawthorne Cot tage by Mrs. T. T. Watson in honor of her house guest, Mrs. Wiedersham. Among the guests were Mrs. John C. Spring, Mrs. Tyler L. Eedfield, Mrs. Parker W. Whittemore and Mrs. Arthur Newcomb.
