GOOD HINTS FOR THE
rs HOME DREssMAkER.

To renovate or not to renovate II q
question to be considered from this
point-namely, whether tits better to
have a new gown or to send = really
good frock and half the cost Of . new
one and have it returned in all re-
spects as a new toilet Ones intimate
friends will no doubt recognize the
gown, but in all ether ways it practical
1y takes its place es a new gown.
A good black dress invariably pays
for renovating, but all queer and un-
common shapes, either in skirt or bod
ice, are best left alone unless the mate
rails can be matched or is Of the type
allowing for combination Many bod
ices of the seamless or stretched order
can be turned into smart boleros, and
then, with a new vest and trimming, 1t
is practically a different garment
Trimmings taken from q bodice will
often make smart vest, and even q
narrow vest and collar Of good lace can
be used with side revers OF velvet or
silk or with cascades OF lace or even
frills falling forward and connected by
straps of velvet across the center of
lace Tucked vests or plastrons OF silk
can be sponged with benzoline. Mount
ed as vests and decorated with some in
crustations of lace in sprays or bows
or strapped across the top in yoke
fashion they are handsome.
There are many garments useful for
country and seaside wear which can
be smartened and brought up to date
at very moderate expense. but they
should be originally Of good quality
and cut, or they are not worth the
trouble and expense OF alteration. An
old fashioned coat and skirt can be re-
made into a smart costume with about
one and a half yards of new cloth to
match. The skirt must be made into q
tight top part fitting a shaped flounce,
and the remainder and the new cloth
will make the shaped fiounce
If there is no new cloth, q black,
blue or brown cloth can be made with
q separate fiounce Of another color.
such as white. fawn. gray, etc, and
then covered with stitched tucks OF
straps of alternate cloth and military
braid. leaving only tiny lines of the
| light color between. The old fashioned
basque coat cuts into smart bolero to
the waist. and the neck can be finish-
ed with a big collar.

NEEDED-A LAWYER.
Auditorium Case in Supreme Court
Nav Go by Board.

The Auditorium case in the supreme
court seems to be on rather shaky
grounds at present. The attorney who
carried it through the district court for
the city was w. F. Schoch, but he was
withdrawn from the case.
The case was brought by L. M. Craw-
ford to prevent attractions from playing
at the Auditorium. Crawford lost the
case in the district court and appealed
1t to the supreme court. T. J. Anderson
and A. 8. Kane looked after the inter-
ests Of the Auditorium. Now Kane is
in league with Crawford, so he does
not care to have the defense pushed in
tie supreme court, and there seems to
be no funds for the attorneys. The
city has half a dozen lawyers, smore or
less, on the pay roll. Couldn't some OF
them look after the case?

Almost every legitimate device that
can be thought of except a further res
duction of taxation is being resorted to
by the government to prevent an in
crease in TIE already enormous accum-
ulation of money in the treasury. The
trusts have taken their cue from Secre-
tary Shaw and are anticipating divi-
dend and interest payments. The policy
appears to be anything to prevent a re-
duction of taxation which if begun is
more likely to hit the tariff than the in
ternal revenue

WANT GERMAN TAUGHT.
Parents of Pupils Resent Abolition
of Study of the Language.

SPECIAL.
College Point, Long Island. Nov. 29.-The
people of College Point. irrespective of ma
tionality, are greatly wrought up over the
abolition of German studies in the public
school OF this place. When the village was
merged into Greater New York this branch
of study was abolished. but subsequently
was reintroouced in certain grades through
the efforts of Commissioner Anton Schultz
heis. who was at that time the local repre-
sentative in the Queens Borough School
Beard.
The results obtained by the German
classes have been very gratifying. and just
why the study was dispensed with Is not
known. Mr.. Schulthe.s is in receipt Of a
letter in which State superintendent Max
well Is quoted as saying that the German
tuition was not abolished by his direction.
On the contrary. word was received by him
to the effect that there was no desire for
the German s~tlslies in College Point, be-
cause the children had manifested SO little
interest in them. Mr.. Maxwell. however,
feels thai ne has been misinformed in this
matter. and will make a personal investi-
CATION with n view of ascertaining whether
this branch of study is desirable or not.
Out of a total attendance of 109 in four
grades. lightweight children took German
lessons until a few weeks ago, when the
subject was discontinued.
There is a general demand for German in
struction in the College Point School. and
there Is a movement on foot TO induce the
school authorities to rescind their action
and have the language taught as before.
