It should put New York in her place. Yet, be it said to her credit and . the despair of the prov'nces, she did not. A pale . wash of ·sunlight on her ridiculously thin buildings, an air of spring wafted up Fifth avenue and violets held out too enticingly by th e little man with the tray. New York the city which is touched acr.oss the ocean by a breath of Europe! But New York on the day of sailing is no place to pause and see the sun light or feel the spring. There are the last errands and all too quickly evening, the taxi and the words filled with a painful magic. "Pier 57." Lights · then, of New York, flashing by in a hlur, for taxis make up at night for the speed they lose in the daytime. Then the "Paris" looming up alarmingly beside the dock send the jabber of a foreign tongue. Officials who speak perfect English ask the qu~ twice first in French. It is their man ner of making up to America for war reparations. Inside the ship a well-ordered bed lam reigns.

No sheep were ever so reluctantly sh oved tv the shearing as this be~v of fur coats and top-hats, at last they are all off. We ru sh to an upper deck and gaze do\vn upon them. All the gang planks but one a.re drawn up at the imminent risk of four men falling into the river, the scene on the pier is one of frenzied activity. We look upon it as into the prison yard on th e day of the execution. On the boat we are calm . A few are in tears, a few are calling acros s the space hoar sely. Midnight! The pier begins to move. Slowly amid the puffing of tugs all the lighted piers swing around in a graceful pirouette. Then we, too are moving. Away from New York with its lights and sounds, its vaunted skyline. The Woolworth Tower, and we come below out of the already salty cold to deserted salons. Majestically, steadily (ah, if it could but last), as if we were on wheels we start on our way across the ocean!
