Older children find shady nooks about the Bryant fountain where they sew or read, sometimes to the little ones or to the mothers who aiso find time to get away from the close tenements, and enjoy a rest In the quiet open space. It is within walking distance of a large tenement district. It is not easy for the poor to find such a place, and so far the park loafers have not In-aded In-aded it. It belongs to the women and children. |
