Greenwich Village

CHAPTER VII
37/44

Even under the searching beams of a slanting, summer afternoon sun, they are adorable.

Go and see if you don't believe this.
Then take the "Mad Hatter's." The entrance alone is a monument to the make-believe capabilities of the Village.

Scrawled on the stone wall beside the steps that lead down to the little basement tea room, is an inscription in chalk.

It looks like anything but English.

But if you held a looking-glass up to it you would find that it is "Down the Rabbit Hole" written backward! Now, if you know your "Alice" as well as you should, you will recall delightedly her dash after the White Rabbit which brought her to Wonderland, and, incidentally, to the Mad Tea Party.
You go in to the little room where Villagers are drinking tea, and the proprietress approaches to take your order.
