Even shorn of the charm of a game of chance, there is many a place in Greenwich Village which might easily capture a susceptible temperament--not merely for weeks, but for years! The last of the tea shops is the "Wigwam," in which, take note, it is the Indian game that is played.

Its avowed aim is "Tea and Dancing," and it is exceedingly proud of its floor.

It lives in the second story of what, for over fifty years, has been the old Sheridan Square Tavern, and its proprietors are the Mosses,--poet, editor and incidental "pirate" on one side of the house; and designer of enchanting "art clothes" on the other.

Lew Kirby Parrish, no less, has made the decorations, and he told me that the walls were grey with Indian decorations, and the ceiling a "live colour." I discovered that that meant a vivid, happy orange.
The spirit of the play is always kept in the Village.

Let us take the opening night of the "Wigwam" as a case in point.
The Indian note is supreme.
