young and idealistic. I often laugh when I think how naive this is and how horrified my good German couple were, but we conceived the idea that we would have them all come to our house and we would have them meet some of the good citizens of New York.

Arthur Woods, the Police Commissioner, came. Of course Paul Kennedy came. He was a professional worrier about the unemployed. Henry Bruere was there. Then I got Mr. William J. Schieffelin - dear Mr. William J. Schieffelin came. I've never forgotten him. He's great friend of mine. I asked him to come because I thought he would be a good citizen to meet them. Mr. Robert Fulton Cutting came. There was a darling for you. He was the most precise man. It had never crossed his mind that he would do things like that, but he came and it was all explained to him - what the unemployed were and that they weren't always clean.

I remember that we laid in a terrific supply of sandwiches and coffee. We borrowed some chairs from the undertaker around the corner. I never have been able to count how many people we had. The house just filled up. They sat on the stairs. They couldn't close the front door it was so full. I had a couple named Rohde at that time and I remember saying to them, “Go upstairs and bring down the bedroom chairs.”
