On the rickety back doorstep of many an humble home In many a village of this country slta The Young Person and dreams of New York." I know the' Young ... ' . - . Person'a fancies. Who doesn't who has first seen New York a a dot upon the- map Instead of the masonry blanket that cov ers Manhattan Is land ? On a to him epoch making day. The Young Person crosses North river. If he Is romantic and addicted to vis ions, he takes one of the ferry boats. If he crosses by night he sees great, Impalpable wall of blackness pierced by as many stars set Into the nlglit as windows are built into the facade of a towering build ing. If he crosses by day, the vision la far less fairylike. He sees then no beauty In Kew- York, only a bigness that oppresses him. If he be fanciful, .he sees lta serried outlines as giant jaws, yawning to swallow him. and the huge buildings as Irregular teeth, ready for their easy task of crushing him. When he makes his bewildered way about, the little island that had been traded for a, cow, rearing -Its masonry Into the high blue, he i. stunned by its multiform noise the scream of, the whistles of the speeding elevated trains, the shrieks of the sirens from the rivers and the bay surrounding It, the steady, throb of continuous sound like the pulse of a mammoth heart. He Is frightened, . stout-hearted though he be, and he wonders what prophecy this chorus of trango sounds holds for 'him. .According to jils mood; he sees It' as a pleasure ground, a laughing city, or something beneath the faces he sees bout him, so close, but so unseeing and indifferent, .' suggests to him a deeper meaning. He has a sudden and poignant sense of what TJaudet calls "the lurking .agony (n great cities." .... He sees that the city has many tones, .the poverty zone, whose heart la tho crowded east side; the aone of middle class respectability, which includes l-x-Ington and portions of Madison avenue: the crude, but ambitious portion, which is Harlem; the leisure sone, which Is Fifth avenue and Its neighbor, the amusement cone, which is far different, because It makes amusement a business. It is the street of theaters, and It Is a proverb that no one ever seea a sad fare on Broadway. Ita code resembles that of the Casino at Monte Carlo. It is bad forfn to be a spoiled sport In the great gaming . house by killing oneself there, and it is a crime to look other than cheerful on the great amusement thronghfare. If a man must show his heartbreak or llfebreak, the code de mands that he step into a side street. He- sees that the furthest point of the island where It beginx aa the sharp end of a wedge, Is the Battery, the gate of the city, where Europeans pour in after every International chat at Ellis Island. He sees the extreme west as one of the tattered sides, fringed, as la the east side with poverty, all save Riverside Drive, where he sees all of the pros perous fraction of the city awheel. In a short time he catalogues the New York face. Quickly he learns to recog nise it, for It la the most Impassive face in the country. Vivacity he sees In the faces from the west, smiles on the faoes from the south, but the marble mask Is the model of New York physiognomy. He becomes used to the indifference of New Yorkers. He learns that the metro politan motto la "Nobody cares for any body else." He learns Ita haughty Ig norance of geography. Every place not on the Island of Manhattan Is vaguely the sufficiently "Out of town' to the res ident of Gotham. Soon, unless homesickness and the1 fear which the great city Inspires send him home, he Joins the tired-faced . crowds who bolt their, -meals and hurry to their tasks In the morning, returning several shades paler -and more listless at night. To alt of this great army, New York is u workshop. He wishes he might see It as does the later arriving cousin, as a. great playground lor happy visitor. Sometimes he goes back to the rickety back doorstep. He takes his seat upon it and tries to dream. But dreams have fled. New York has forced him as It forces all to translate dreams into deeds. He is' considerably bruised, a good deal battered by hurling himself against the cruel, sharp corners of the big city He realizes, wistfully may be that had he roamed less on the old door step be might have become the' great man of this town, and he knows that, no mat ter how much hi growth since those daydreams, he will Always be a little man In the big town on the small Is lend. But h goes back to New York. Of course he does, for New York faulty and cruel ax it la, has made Itself lr resistible to him. It has become his habit.

I The other day . we asked this question: "Man. what would you ask for If some good fairy ouM grant you three wishes? "Weman. what would ask for If you could have your three wishes?" Here are some of the Interesting re plies that have 7 I A woman writes: "My first wish would be that I might have my mother a long as I live. She Is my guardian angel on earth, as 1 have a Ku.irdlan angel In heaven. Health Is my second wish, because without health we cannot achieve what we arc nulvfng for, and where there is health there IS also beauty. Love IB my third wUh, and aa the cjmii of this wlth I dtsue that the one I love may love me " A man also mahes some good patriotic witihes. lie say?.: "My three forenioit wishes are: First, to be a good', honest, 'law abiding cltlsen. who takes an active interest in the city, state and national government. Second, to be a faithful husband. Thud, te have employment, the emolument of which would be ample for the maintenance of the first two wUhet." Another who knows hat he wants ays: "Would I wish for beauty? No. Let ma remain as I was created. I no doubt look as respectable as one who trims hi whiskers every morning. "Would I w:h for power? Yea. That in nomi-ih in which I tnink any man inut lnn for. Would I wish for love? Without love life is nothing. With love one can accomplish great things, because you are not working for yourself but to soake someone else happy. Would I wish for glory? Yes. A nan who has power, money and love will some day be In glory If he has the grit and sand to stick by and succeed in his undertaking. For myself- I would wish for love, glory and power, aa money is bound to be where power Is." Love, money, power, glory. Gee, that's Lolng somu, isn't It? And here's the wish of a deep-dyed pessimist, who says: "If I could have my wish It would be to make people realise what fools they are. how Ignorant they are and how they abuie themselves, and deprive themselves of what belongs to them. Conditions are growing worse daily, and people instead of Improving are becoming more selfish snd degraded, more helpless and hopeless. Something should be done to save our country and our people, and I winh I knew how to do It." Come over into the woman suffrage party.

Sec ond, a nice cabin motor boat about thirty five feet long, with a twenty-four horse power, four-cylinder engine. Third, and lact wish, a steady job at 40 a week. and, believe me.' I would be satisfied with life and for life if I had that." "A wife ' writes: "My three wlbhoj are tnlj: For a husband that realises that a woman wants to be loved Just as much when shea fat and 40 aa she did when she was slim and 1-0. tyecond, for a hupband that wasn't a perpetual grouch and didn't nit up like a sore-headed bear that you were afraid to poke up when he Is at home. Third, for a hufcband who realised that It takes money to run a home and that a woman doesn't eat up herself all of the provlilona that are charged on the grocery bill." Another woman has juul one wish. he aays; "I deaire to write a good story, or be come a Journalist, have an Income of at least tl.tOO a year and KEtJ" WiT." Still another girl say at Ss.

"But, deer, 1 was only saying it would maJio us so lalo." Not make us late at all. We can get there and buck In forty minutes. Come on tiers a car now. When Warren opened the door of the new apartment they were greeted by a Ktlfllng odor of paint. He turnod'on the lights In the hall and fronl room. The walls had been partly wcraped. and one Hide of the room was repapered. Several large cans of paint, some brushes and soiled rags were on the floor In the cor ner. Kolls of wall paper were plied up on the mantel, against which leaned a lad der. "Oh. they're not nearly through." ex claimed Helen, who was holding her skirt closely about her. so as not to touch the wet paint. "Yes, they are. They'll finish up to morrow." He was exploiting the other room now. turning on the light as he went. Helen followed, carefully stepping over torn strip of wall paper and some boards on the floor. There I nothing more cheerless than, jmpty rooms In the process of palatlng iinl papering. And Helen could not hrow off a feeling of depression at the bought of living here. A real sense of .tnealckness for the apartment they .iru leaving possessed her. it was only after when they got back. Helen quickly slipped into a house dres and atarted to pack the rest of the china. Now here are plenty of newspapers It you want to Una that box before you put your booka In. No-walt-I'U line it for you." She carefully smoothed the papers in the bottom and over the side of the box. "There now." dragging It up to the book case, "this will noia your eocycioireus and the books in that lower shelf and. there's two more boxes In the dlninj, room for the rest." Warren took off his coat. and. platuly reluctant, began to put in tne noons. When the box was about one-third full he straightened up and pushed It back. Now. If you or the girl can t pacK those books tomorrow I'll send up a man to do It I've got a lot of work at the office In the niornlng-and I'm going to bed. I can't afford to fool around here I need the rest." r Bildad'a Bad Bid Bildad la as confirmed an auction fiend as Mrs. Toodles of historic! memory.
