Greenwich has a number of magazines, an even larger number of clubs and an unconscionable number of ways of entertaining itself--from theatrical companies to balls! Of course the best known of the Greenwich magazines is _The Masses_, owned by Max Eastman and edited by Floyd Dell.

It has, in a sense, grown beyond the Village, inasmuch as it now circulates all over the country, wherever socialistic or anarchistic tendencies are to be found.

But its inception was in Greenwich Village, and in its infant days it strongly reflected the radical, young, insurgent spirit which was just beginning to ferment in the world below Fourteenth Street.

In those days it was poor and struggling too (as is altogether fitting in a Village paper) and lost nothing in freshness and spontaneity and vigour from that fact.
"You might tell," said Floyd Dell, with a twinkle, "of the days when _The Masses_ was in Greenwich Avenue, and the editor, the business manager and the stenographer played ball in the street all day long!" It is, perhaps, symbolic that _The Masses_ in moving uptown stopped at Fourteenth Street, the traditional and permanent boundary line.

There it may reach out and touch the great world, yet still remain part of the Village where it was born.
