LIGHTS \ nt*HBUU
ot NEW YORK
Many of the artists who now occupy
fashionable apartments, penthouses
and big ateliers used to live in the
old Van Dyck studios on Eighth ave
nue. They were happy, young and
poor. Everybody knew and helped
everybody else. If anyone sold a pic
ture or illustration, it was an event
celebrated by all. One day a painter
who now Is well known, but then was
just beginning, got an invitation to a
fashionable wedding. Though he
thought there was a fair chance that
the invitation was a mistake, he was
more than anxious to go. He always
had heard that at these big house wed
dings the food was excellent.
The trouble was that he didn’t have
the proper clothes. He did have a
shirt, which would do for a founda
tion, and he also had a collar, a neck
tie and a pair of gloves. The Van
Dyck turned itself upside down to out
fit him. One friend contributed a pair
of striped trousers, another a - morning
coat, still another shoes and silk socks.
Nobody owned a silk hat, but one of
{he artist’s friends knew a man who
had one, and borrowed it. The hat.
was- a littl^ large for the wedding
guest, so. they stuffed a little paper
under the sweatband.
The day came and, with the help of
all, the Invited artist was shiningly
arrayed. He wished to walk the mile
across town to the wedding but that
idea was vetoed. By a unanimous
vote of the Van Dyck it was decided
that lie should take a taxi. He really
was not going ns an individual but as
a representative of a district. With
a due sense of his responsibility, he
entered the cab and stuck his head out
to wave a dignified farewell to all the
friends who were leaning from win
dows. Tlie taxi started with a jerk.
The silk hat, never too secure, toppled
to the ^street, bounced under the rear
wheel of the <-ar, and became just a
memory. That is one of the tragic
stories of the old Van Dyck.
• • •
Those were the days when a certain
well-known illustrator was so poor
that, while lie had a cake of soap and
a tin basin, his only towel was a piece
of an old curtain. This aroused the
finer feelings of a faithful model.
Each day she used to bring him a
present of one or two nicejinen tow
els. Finally lie had more than a doz
en, and they were all marked. They
bore the n?:mes of most of the large
New York hotels.

'good people were surrounded by
thjr children, grand-children and a
few friends and other relatives. %
The occasion was that of the home-
coming of children and grand-chil
dren from far and near. We found
here Mr. and Mrs. Joe ''Owens and
Children, whose names -the \Vriter fail
ed to get, for they were a “Legion”
all of whome were' from Midville, Ga.;
Mi. and Mrs. Walter Sprawls and
children, of Willi'tcn; the skeptic ey?
could see the vacancy in the minds
of this father and mother caused by j
the bar which impeded the coming of |
Mr. nind Mrp. Thomas Weeks and
children of Jacksonville, Fla.
Others in attenda/ice upon this en
joyable occasion were: Mr. and Mrs.
J. Herbert Black,' of Barnwell, Mrs,
Black being a stepdaughter; Mr. and
Mrs. A. A. Weathersbee of the same
neighboihcod. Others from out of
the neighborhood were: John K.
Snelling/Mriand Mrs. Clyde Vickery,
Mr. and Mrs. Jame^ Diamond and
daughter, Mis,« Ruth Diamond, Mrs.
Lloyd Vickery, Mrs. Birt Vickery,
Miss Belle Bennett and Dwight Black,
of Barnwell.
*
The surrounding neighborhood all
being connected, was well represent
ed; the time wa s spent in discussing
various topics of the day and the
family relationship; at this juncture
dinner was announced after a rever
ence “Thanks” being offered by Mr.
R. A. Weathersbee, brother of the
host; a table more than fifty feet in
length ladened with barbecue, rice-
hash and every deset ibable article of
food that could ,J)e mentioned which
is pleasing to eye and taste. When
all had eaten and were filled enough
was left to have fed as many more.
The day was happily spent. In
leaving this home, the people would
gaze back upon it as did Lot’s wife
when she was leaving • Sodom and
Gomorrah; this day will linger long
A New York family lias a young dog
of which it is very fond. He is n good
puppy, except for the fact that he will
on occasion chew things lie is not sup
posed to masticate. Hi? worst ex
hibition in this line happened at the
family’s country place on Long Island
at a time when several guests were
staying over the week-end. It was
warm and some of the guests left their
doors ajar. In the morning the dog
was discovered by a member of the
family chewing on something, but ap
parently making little headway. Ex
amination disclosed that it was an up
per plate containing the “store teeth”
of a rather sensitive guest, wh<T wished
it believed that his ivory smile was
all ins own. There was nothing to be
done. Those teeth were beyond wear
ing. The family con 1<1 only wait in
horror for their guest to wake to
toothless tragedy.

William C. Ler.gel. the editor, tells
me that the first book lie ever read
of Theodore Dreiser's was “Sister
Carrie.” He thought he should' read
it because lie was working under
Dreiser- at the time, so he l^puglit a
copy for 40 cenfS. He’'started it ‘STT-
ting on a' bench in Central park. He
read until it was too dark to see. He
Wouldn’t finish it that evening because
of engagements he couldn’t break, but
the next' piorning lie went down to
the lieu oh, where lie figured he would
pot be interrupted, and completed the
lK)ok^ After that, he.never missed one.
Preiser is another Indiana author, hav
ing been born*in Terre llaute. His
fiist journalistic experience was on a
Chicago newspaper. At various times
he 'was editor of half a dozen maga
zines.
There is honesty, even in New York
and in these bard times. A woman
came out of a bank clutching $23 in
one-dollar bills. It was raining bard.
In putting up her umbrella, the woman
slipped and involuntarily opened her
hand to catch herself. The hills were
scattered by the wind, but beaten
down by the rain. Wet. they stuck to
sidewalk and street. Passersby. for
half a block, hurried to pick them up.
Then they gave them to the woman.
She counted the wet bills to see how
many she had lost. She had 25. I
might add that only a woman would
ilo-what she did then. The bills! were
caked with mud. She took them home,
washed them in the bathtub, and then
ironed them. Good as new !

America has Just about
be the land of opportunity
to the European peasant and unskilled
laborer if immigration figures on rec
ord at Ellis Island can be accepted as
a criterion.
The infiux of aliens is diminishing
week by week. During the fiscal year
ended June 30 the total of immigrants
admitted at thiA port from all foreign
countries fell to 116,765—approximate
ly. This is only a little more than one-
third of the tota( of entries for the
fiscal year of 1929-1930, which was re
corded at 302,304.
On* the other hand the number of
aliens leaving these shores for their
homelands is Increasing steadily. Dur
ing the twelve-month period which has
. just come to a close some 184,680 of
them filed through Ellis Islands on
their way back to the “old countries”
as compared with a corresponding to
tal of 170,412 for the fiscal year which
closed June 30, 1930.
Depression to Blame.
Old Man Depi’essjpn is to blawe—or
be credited. With mills and factories
closing down or running on reduced
schedules throughout the country,
building operations coming to a stand
still and farmers unable to hire help,
the alien within our gates is finding It
more and more difficult to find employ
ment-even by undercutting the na
tive-born worker. In many places, too,
preference is give to America’s own
needy in the distribution of relief
funds—another thing which makes it
difficult for the sojourning' immi
grant to understand this land of ours.
At least that is the way the immigra-
fion officials size up the situation.
The Immigration tide began to turn
outward early last year. Between Jan
uary 1 and the end of June of that
year the departures outnumbered ar
rivals in tlie country by 9,348. Figures
for July, August and September mate
rially increased tlie excess. The peak
of the overflow was reached in May
when a total.of 8,577 aliens departed
voluntarily to the lands whence they
came and when another 1,597 who had
been found undesirable for one reason
or another were forcibly deported.
During the same month the total of in
coming immigrants amounted to only
2,479 admitted for permanent resi
dence for all ports of the country.
Decline of 90 Per Cent.
This compared with an average^f
3.031 monthly for tlie preceding ten
months of tlie fiscal year. The May
total was 09.4 per cent below the
monthly average of 8,095 for the last
fiscal year. 87.7 per cent below the
monthly average for 1930 and 89.4 per
cent below the average for the fiscal
year 1929—tlie figures dealing in each
case with immigrants officially classi
fied as aliens defined for juirposes of
the record .as immigrants who an
nounce their intention of making
their homes here.
'Hie department’s figures show that
immigration as a whole and for the
entire country has v'.eelined 90.3 per
cent since three years ago when tlie
influx from all sources except Mexico
was practically normal The propor
tionate decrease was larger in some
cases, particularly for the Irish Free
State, Scandinavian countries, Ger
many and Great Britain, while that
for Italy was 68.5 per cent and for
Asia only 50.2 per cent.
Immigration officials jhp to a year
or so ago were inclined to give credit
to tlie diminishing immigration tide to
a strict enforcement of the immigra-
tioh quotas laws. ** Under a policy laid
down by President Jloover in Septem
ber, 1950, consular offices began with
holding visas from applicants who'
might become public charges upon
their arrival here and so zealously was
tills rule carried out- that it came to
tlie pass where a majority of aliens
admitted for i>ernianent residence were
near relatives of American citizens
and aliens resident in the United
States. This, of course, cut down the
influx tremendously.
But it is only in the last 18 months or
so that the outflow has begun to gain
the balance in volume and the author
ities say there is no doubt the depres
sion is primarily to blame.
