Excerpt from Margaret Warrener The other square, opposite this, like the second arm of a cross, is quite different. As a once haughty re gion may, in the chances of time, find itself the neigh bor of the non-elect, so it has been with Quincy Square. Benedict Square stretches into a tawdry quarter, of old clothes' shops and crazy tenements. It has no rail ing, its grass is beaten into the ground by the hoofs of the populace, and out of school hours ragged chil dren throng it all day long. In the summer, when squares Should be green and smiling, it' becomes intol erably parched, a desert under an arid sky.
