BROOKLYN LIFE We extend a welcome to Broadcast Station W.C.G.U. at Sea Gate, New York. A well organized radio station renders a great public service -and we feel that the establishment of station W.C.G.U, is a pro-gressive step for Coney Island. i BROOKLYN BOROUGH GAS COMPANY, Coney Island, N. Y.

caterer is relieved of much of this trouble. When she has once employed a man on whom she can thoroughly rely, and has told him her needs, she can then proceed to the enjoyment of her entertainment, confident that all the details will be scrupulously attended to. The affair will then be much more pleasant for hostess and guests alike, and entertainment will no longer seem, merely a social duty. Many residents of central and northern Long Island are unaware that they have in their midst a caterer equal to the finest to be obtained in the city. Mr.

Herl of School Street, Glen Cove, has assisted at the most exclusive functions for some years, and with well nigh unfailing satisfaction. With his assistance the trouble and expense of arranging for the services of metropolitan caterers is done away with, and the hostess assured of an enjoyable occasion. Estate of CHRIS P.

CHILDREN'S PAGEANT AT JACKSON HEIGHTS The Sixth Annual Children's Pageant will be held at Jackson Heights on Saturday, June 18th. An all -day program has been arranged featuring a baby parade of costumes and floats in which over two hundred children under six years of age will participate. There will also be athletic events for boys and girls, motion pictures, a children's play entitled "Treasure Chest," and many other interesting, events.

The annual pageant at Jackson Heights has become an important community affair, thousands being at hand to witness it. H. PETERMAN, STRAND He GIFT OF $10,000 FOR NEW ROSE GARDEN A gift of $10,000 from Mr. Walter V. Cranford of Greenwich, formerly of Brooklyn, to be used for the construction of the new proposed rose garden of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, was announced recently at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Brooklyn Institute.

This gift, received on June 7th, makes realization of the project immediate, and actual work on the site, near the north end of the Botanic Garden, and just west of the esplanade, will commence within another week, Dr. C. Stuart Gager, director of the Garden, stated in making the announcement. By fall it is hoped, he said, that many of the roses will have been planted. Surveyors will come to the Garden next week, Dr.

Gager said, to determine the boundaries of the rose garden, which will be approximately five hundred feet north and south and one hundred feet east and west. Formal rose gardens are traditionally flat and rectangular, so considerable grading work is required, Dr. Gager explained. He added that because much of the Botanic Garden has been constructed on ground that once was utilized as a dumping ground and which was crossed by old roads and on which buildings once stood, it is necessary to bring in soil for all developments. Rose gardens, he said, require at least three feet of top soil, which will mean the importation of a very large quantity of soil.

Montague Free, horticulturist of the Botanic Garden, will be in charge of the construction. Mr. Free is now at work on soil measurements to determine the amount of top soil needed for the garden. "Interest in the new project, which, when realized, will be one of the most beautiful and instructive rose gardens in America, is widespread," Dr. Gager said, "and several individuals and growers already have offered to supply plants for the rose collection.

The American Rose Society is also much interested in the plans. Mr. Harold A. Caparri, consulting landscape architect of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, is the designer of this garden. His plan for it provides not only for the display of the so-called bedding or garden roses that will grow out of doors, and for demonstration of the varied possibilities of climbing roses, post roses and standards, but also for as complete collections as can be obtained of wild or natural species of roses showing their foliage and massing qualities.

Old-fashioned and historical roses will also be featured. "The new rose garden is a valuable con-- tribution toward extending and increasing a love and appreciation of the rose and also a big forward step in the improvement of. the Brooklyn Botanic Garden," Dr. Gager declared. V'lt estimated," Di Gager added, "that the installation, including soil improvement, planting, two simple" arbors, and other work will require the full amount of the Incorporated Paint and Color Works Specialising in Paints Varnishes to Factories Industrial Plants and Institutions 207 BRIDGE STREET FACTORY 88 FULTON ST.

Tall buildings blind unwary eyes And all unknowing, my heart lies Buried beneath the city tread It does not know that it is dead." "Some early spring," he used to say, "I shall get up and go away." Each summer found four walls about him still. Only his thoughts would climb a windswept hill And pausing at this summit he would say, "Some early spring, but now no time for play," And so would shape his thoughts to fit the room Not knowing they were shrouded for the tomb.

MAYFAIR CHILDREN JOIN LONDON SOCIETY WHIRL The children of the fashionable residents of May fair are taking an increasing part in English society functions and their engagements are now mapped out for them on much the same lines as those of their debutante sisters.

The society child, clad in the smartest of miniature riding kits, meets her small friends in fashionable Rotten, Row on their ponies and holds a court of her own. School classes sometimes interrupt their morning hours and special dancing lessons something are fitted in. After a noon rest the small child often has a charity matinee to attend, and open air fetes for charity are largely reinforced by children who often organize such affairs themselves. On free afternoons the young people have their own parties. After a tea a drive with mother or tennis coaching or swimming lessons are the order until bedtime, which is anywhere from 10 until CHRISTIAN 230 Livingston Street Our Specialty: PERMANENT WAVING French Hair Cutting in the beautiful Swirl Style.

It is pleasant to realize that we are helping, others to enjoy selves at bridge or tea or dinner party, when gayety reigns and heartfelt' thanks betoken sincere appreciation of our efforts. But too often this pleasure comes only at the end of the social function, when guests are leaving and festivities have become only a memory. And even then the thought of the cleaning and rearranging to be overseen and attended to personally is not conducive to an altogether happy feeling, and too often the hostess drags herself wearily to bed, glad only that her social duties have been attended to.
