There were young ones and those who had grown old quickly, so that classrooms were quiet when they were present. The old ones were in the majority, orthodox ladies with long, thin bodies and high shoes and wide woolen skircs and an unsympathetic hauteur that comes from loneliness and an arm's length distance from members of the other sex. For those were the days when teacher was called "an old maid" truly enough, but unkindly.

At any rate they were not people who could fill the house on 18th Ave. with the warm Joyousnesa of life. It must have been the desire or the little fellows and the young girls to rush home and to play far from the schoolhouse that made the soul of the frame structure fall back upon what Shakespeare once called "un- STARTED the fatter being Just over the vague Continued from Page 1 that Statrn Island agree that the (are be somewhat higher than 5 cents in order that the subway be self-sustaining.

One can then see the petty-tragic flaw in the bay and after the right of way for the tunnel had been acquired by the city. After the tunnel was completed, the Comptroller said, it would be leased to an operating company at a cost to pay all the Interest and amortization charges, so that the taxpayer would not be burdened with meeting the cost of construction.

But I live high up and have a fine view over the roofs. and keep house, and the boys, it they show any aptitude toward mechanics, are taught a trade. Their play is supervised and the boys and girls are made as happy at the home as it is possible to do. Many of the boys and girls who have been reared there, Hoof said, now hold responsible positions at good salaries.

While the institution is known as the Norwegian Home for Children, all of the Inmates are not Norwegian, Hoff said. Most of the children are sons and daughters of American citizens, although some of them may be foreign born. The home is maintained by voluntary contributions and donations, and by money raised through fairs. Not one cent is contributed by the, city, it Is said, although the city might be called upon to take over many of the young charges were it not for The first day that I came to town it seemed very cramped and lonely. I had not a single friend.

italize the extensive use of the road to the beach. He started to build a roadhcuse. Had it been opened as such it would have received the patronage of scores of notables. It was this intention of the man which must have lent that air of high dignity to the structure. But circumstances did not work out according to Ryan's plans.

"What might have been" seems to have got into the very wood of the walls. The things that might have happened in the house on the road to Bath Beach, the gayety which might have enlivened the lonely street on nights when carriages and the new-fangled automobiles traveled in small numbers, the rowdy times, the good times, that might have given neighbors something to talk about! Ryan apparently got into financial difficulties and the project was abandoned. It was completely built when it came into the hands of Senator Peter H. McNulty who kept it for a year or so until he died. It was in 1902 his son, Raymond, inherited it.

The house at that time was in good shape; it retained its air of brisht prosperity even yet. Perhaps buildings, too. hold desperately to hopes. But something happened, and perhaps this something is the explanation for the air pervading the place. McNulty leased the building which was to have had the loud glamor of a roadhouse, to the city for use as a school.

The Osmetic A. a Bay Ridge organization, have engaged in contests with the best clubs of their class throughout the Metropolitan area. In the closing tussle, the Osmetics defeated the highly touted Trogan outfit by 64 to 13.

The high scorer of the club is Adrian Fearon of 161 83d who garnered 128 points. Other 'players include Jack Van Brunt of 153 84th Ed Duffy of 235 83d St. and Andy Horn of 150 75th St. Lilly, another star of the club, was injured in the beginning of the year.

She and Mr. Jones were married befoie he entered the seminary, but the wife of the young minister decided to continue her studies, too, and she enrolled at the Union Theological Seminary for a course of selected subjects. Tall and slender, Mrs. Jones possesses a charm and ease of manner that makes for perfect poise. Dressed in a becoming dress of dark blue woolen, she had just returned from a motor ride along Shore Road when we called on her yesterday afternoon.

We liked the way her children rushed into the library to greet her, Julia with a report to make on a scratched finger and Baby Phillips playing peekra-boo from under a felt hat that his father had left within reach. They made a lovely picture, the dark-haired mother and the two young daughters with their golden hair, in contrast. We inquired from Julia if she liked her new home and were told "Yes" most emphatically. Julia, her mother pointed out, I likes plenty of company and playmates. And when she discovered that the next door neighbors had six children, then, as far as she was I concerned, Bay Ridge was quite all right.

Coach Greenberg will have a special interest in the game tomorrow, inasmuch as he himself played against the Prep boys some 20 years ago, and he is naturally anxious that the Purple and Gold batters and hurlers defeat them. The starting lineup for Bay Ridge will probably be: Pettit, first base; Edwards, second base; Deighan, shortstop; Coniglio, third base; Cor-bett, center field; Barrow, right field; Enright, left field; Cipriano, catcher; Gronemman, pitcher.
