FEdS for Travellers.

Women travel abroad nowadays with
a mania for one-article collections. A
fortunate individual comes home laden
with several dozen lamps of every size
and shape, from the thick-set brass az.
fairs, picked up in Holland, to the
daintiest fillgree incense burners. An.
other feminine enthusiast brings n
motley array of brocades for drapery.
and still another a long variety of silver
boxes or bottles. Perhaps the most
peculiar fancy is that of carrying from
Persia the great blooded cats that are
hard to domesticate. However. as an
uptown housekeeper exclaims: "Of
course, one is little afraid Of them,
but they do look stylish in a hand

The Purest French.

To the Editor:
In reply to Jenny L." allow me TO state
that although her remarks In regard to Southern
France are to certain extent true. any one
having travelled or lived in France will tell
her that . French equally as good as the one
spoken in Geneva or Lousanne is used in Central
or Northern France. for instance. In Tours,
Nantes. Lille. Rennes Havre. In case the
party wishes to acquire a dramatically pure
French, with at elegance Of expression which
cannot be found in provincial towns not even in
Switzerland or Belgium. she will have to go to
Paris, where she will nnd the French among the

A NEW APPELLATE TRIBUNAL.

Mayor Schieren, OF Brooklyn, is to be
credited with the discovery OF an appel
late judicial authority whose existence
has been singularly overlooked in the
State Constitution.
1t has generally been supposed that a
final appeal from the decisions OF in
ferior courts OF the state must be car
rled to the Court Of Appeals. whose
judgment alone can reverse such de-
ciscns and is final
1t now appears that Mayor Schieren
has found an intermediate tribunal to
which AN appeal against decision OF
the General Term of the Court of Com
mon Pleas will lie without troubling any
other court. This tribunal Ia the Cor
poration Counsel OF city, whose Office
has thus become greatly magninod IN
importance and enlarged in scope.
The Mayor has carried the judgment
of the General Term OF the New York
Court Of Common Pleas, pronouncing
the Ives Pool law unconstitutional. up
to the Brooklyn Corporation Counsel.
MIR. Albert @. Mcdonald. who reverses
the Court declares the law constitu-
tional enough for all practical purposes,
and advises the Mayor that he Is under
no obligation to pay any attention TO
the Courts decision
Mr. McDonald's legal argument is not
as lucid as 1t might be. but his judg-
ment will be sufficient to prevent any
interference with the great race for the
Brooklyn Handicap tomorrow, and Will
thus be approved by all the lovers of the
turf The only singular part of the affaii
is that no mention of this new appellate
! tribunal should be found in the State
Constitution.

working Girls ana Their place.

The working girls Of large cities form
n most striking interesting and pictur-
esaue part of the people. Driven by
natural causes into semi-public places
they hold the points thus gained with
all simplicity. There Is no pose no
g,orifcatlon of their position. Neces-
sity has sent them out into the paths
they follow; by their own wits ana
through their own efforts they hold the
right of way. In Il sense every. man
hand is against them. They alone must
guard their own interests, defend their
Individual rights.

Keeping household accounts is an
affair, If not OF necessity, still OF the
greatest wisdom. In comparison with
the small amount Of time and labor
which the doing so employs, the salts
faction of knowing at the end of each
year how the family funds have gone
is the amplest compensation. One es-
pecial satisfaction gained from the
keeping OF household accounts Is the
ability, II the necessity arises,
to reduce expenditures on the outlay
for luxuries and unnecessaries. The
money spent for food, for medicines or
for fuel is capable of far less reduction
than that used for amusements, for
wages or for clothing, and a system of
accounts which will show at once where
expenses can be lessened Is entitled to
respectful consideration.

In answer to the few lines to THE Drummer"

venture the following which is for one OF

That shines into my heart,
In thy glance dwells Cupid's dart.
Oh! thou Sweet Spring Valleyite,
Thy presence drives our cares to flight;
A smile lives always on thy lip,

Cleaning the Carpets.

There are still great many carpets
used in modest homes, where the care
of them is wearing out the housewife.
Even soft pine floors can be prettily
stained and vanished after the cracks
have been filled in with puttyt, and the
pretty, cleanly method of laying rugs

Tennis Makes Girls Tall.

To what length English girls will
grow depends entirely upon the length Of
time that lawn tennis remains popular.
Fortunately, there are signs that the
game is already losing it's hold on
feminine affections. and that golf Is
about to take its place. 1t is earnestly
to be hoped this will be the case.
Otherwise the english girl of, say, 1924.
will be about eight feet in height. The
sight of such a girl twining herself
about a man and taking two turns and
a half hitch in order to hold him tight
will be to the last degree appalling to
all persons with a sense of the proper
relation of woman to man.

The Evolution of Styles,

1t is really a curious study to observe
how fashions in raiment gradually
shape themselves from what has
preceded them. The change is sell
dom sudden or violent. We do not
jump, for instance. from the tight-ft-
ting coat-sleeve to the immense balloon
structure. We do not go from the plain,
full skirts back to the bouffant effects
OF drapery, with no intermediary stages.
But. as the slang phrase has 1t. I'VE get
there Just the same" and we are well
on the way to this last-named consum-
nation already. The first stage was the
trimming put on in rows high up on the
skirt: now come peplums and double
skirts, and even paniers. all Of which
are scarcely straws so much as whole
waving fields of grain to show which
way the wind of fashion blows.

Large numbers OF people take the cars there who
would be greatly benefited by it. The express
trains from One Hundred and Twenty fifth street
do not take the middle track until they get be-
low One Hundred and Sixteenth street station,
and pull by there very slowly. and 1t seems to
the casual observer that 1t would not delay
them very much to stop there. Another improve
ment that would like to suggest Is that they
