"Most children brought up in Brooklyn before the First World War remember Thanksgiving Day there with a peculiar tenderness. It was the day children went around “ragamuffin” or “slamming gates,” wearing costumes topped off by a penny mask."
Time and place items can be found in bold.
Basically, from these words, we can gather the time (before WWI and around Thanksgiving) as well as the place (Brooklyn). Good luck!
