LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
CAN THE COMMISSION EXPLAIN THIs1


To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: am curious to know why the Essex County
Park Commission has practically ruined the finest
and most popular roadway in the South Mountain
Reservation. I refer to Cherry Lane. which runs
along the Orange reservoir between the first and
second mountains and ends at South Orange-ave..
and the BroOkside Drive. which runs from South
Oranse-ave. sOutherly and past CampbelIs Pond to
Miliburn- Up to last year this road had good
top dressing OF macadam. was hard and smooth
and particularly good for cycling 7 went over It
with but not my wheel last Saturday after
noon. From a point near the southerly end OF the
reservoir found it covered to depth OF at least
three inches with loose dirt and SCRAP stone. II
was the same along the Brookstde Drive. except
from the top of the hill sOutherly to point about
half mile south OF Campbelrs Pond. where II was
covered with about three inches or loose asneS,
cnders and factory refuse Broken glass and other
funk were mixed In with the ashes AT places, ana
at several points the Odor OF garbage polluted the
pure mountain air Just why this tdtOuc thing mas
been done to this fine drive Is mystery unless
some one had dirt. scrap stone and old cinders 20

Russian authorities hold that the Whitehead
torpedo, which can travel four miles. has made
the three-nile limit of international law an
absurdity. Forts and battleships now carry
guns that help to heghten the absurdity of
the oldtime rule. One of the most important
subjects. therefore, for the next International
Congress to pass upon will probably be the
entire question Of territorial waters in view of
actual conditions Of modern naval warfare.

Skepticism has been shown In numerous let
tiers to the Editor Of Science" regarding some
OF the wonderful stories told by William ]. Long
about birds and animals. One narrative related
to a woodcock which laboriously bound up
leg with mud and grass, as If he were putting a
plaster cast about fractured bone Another
described orioles nest OF strange construc-
ton. Mr.. Long now replies to his critics IN the
columns OF the periodical which printed the
other communications. He has obtained affi-
davits in support Of two fresh instances OF wood
cock surgery. lie also mentions the circum-
stances under which he was led to interpret
he did the observed popularity of the orioles
nest Mr.. Long has thus met the charges OF
.naccuracy and gulibllity neatly and convinc-
ingly. Inasmuch these faults have recently
been imputed to other writers. and as he at.

doubtless have exerted wholesome influence.

The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-20

Here and there a princess effect is
seen, one such gown of royal blue
cloth being set of by magnificent
fringe in the same color. But the
three piece costume-skirt, bodice and
Jacket or cape-to judge by its pre-
dominance over other styles, is to be
the one most favored. Immensely wide
belts also distinguish these. and they
are made of kid for wool textures and
of satin or paune for silk or lace ones.
A fitted plainness, which is held trim
by whalebone, succeeds the old crush
effects for these details. Indeed, the
new belts are. so to speak, half the
bodice, and the coats which accompany
them hang short enough to leave their
charms in full view.
a Pretty Coat.
A pretty coat used with one wide
belt effect hung in kits from a yoke,
whose plain shoulder pieces extended
down into the full pleated sleeves.
With these kinks for cut. solid colors
are to be the order of the new day
for all-wOol textures, and the plain
veilings long worn will be more than
ever to the fore. For such soft wool
textures, which appear in great guam
titles among the Easter materials, silk
passementeries are the latest trim
mings supplied. Shown in all the
latest colors. these effective garnish-
ings are in band borders, odd applica-
tions and swinging button shape.

faiseuse for Easter is in one of the
rich bluing blues for which the winter

aside and stick to honest black, white
and cream.
White French Lace.
A white French lace of a quality
that looks by no means expensive is
employed with black ribbon velvet
upon the bodice of dainty little frock
in pale gray voile. The skirt of this
is in the full falling model which has
succeeded definite goring for all tex
lures. A deep fiounce is headed by
two narrower ones. the trio trimmed
each with two small biases of the
gown texture.
A toilette of white French barege is
combined with square mesh novelty
lace, whose rough look is denied by
delightful softness to the touch.
This handsome gown is shown by
the Easter galaxy, but white, it is said,
is to play second fiddle this summer
to delicate colors. Nevertheless, ra-
diant wool and linen canvases are
more universally becoming than color
1t will doubtless be difficult to shelve
it.
Many of the new parasols, as will be
shown by the Easter parade, are in
the gown materials and to take the
place of the furs which have been
worn up to the last minute, there will
be the pelerines and muffs of summery
textiles.
Dressmakers returning from Paris
declare that the only may to wear the
stOles of these sets is mantilla fash
ion over the arms. The muffs which
accompany them are muffs in name,
for tulle composes many and others
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-20

are bell shape over under puffs of the
voile and the wide belt is of violet
panne.
To go with this gown fiat hat of
violet panama has been designed, trim
med with a wreath of bronze silk roses
and a violet plume.
An Odd skirt.
Another odd skirt model has a hip
yoke of shirring and two deep wide
strips of the same lower down. The
front panel of the skirt, which is other
wise untrimmed, ends In a sharp point,
and blocked collar gives the cape
touch to the waist. Material of this
mushroom-c -colored voile, with black
net, quilted into a single narrow ruch-
ing, edges the cape. The hat is a CO.
lonial shape of black tulle and straw,
garnished with white plumes.

Trimmings usually associated by the
layman with old-fashioned ideas are

is to be furore of silks this summer.
Endless seem the qualities of sole
which realize with fragile passemen-
teries, narrow velvets and delicate
laces, the beautiful toilettes which only
Paris can send.
A New SILK.
A new silk, shown in self-figured
weaves and brilliant colors softly shad-
owed, combines exquisitely with chif-
fons and nets, and shapes gowns of a
delightful dressiness. In gun-metal
grays-shot with pois. diamonds or
dots-effective gowns are seen in this
silk for middle-aged women. whose
bonnets for such toilets may show
yellow crocuses. Yellow is a fire.
quent contrast with spring and sum-
mer finery, while violet is seen with
green, and black and white with all
colors.
Another self-figured silk which is in
faint mauves and grays, is used by
the French makers. One or two of the
models seen were in much older tex
ture, moire in fact, though chameleon
and opal colorings gave the ancient
fabrics an air of great novelty.
A new wrinkle with louisines is the
introduction of broche figures in a
contrasting shade, some of the back
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-20

are fabricated entirely of silken flow
er petals, or of net or lace.
The Easter Hat.
When it comes to hats the Easter
display points toward a definite close
ness, which results in an increase of
comfort. Brim hats are seen in plen-
ty, of course, and very likely they
will grow bigger as the season ad-
vances, but the trend of the moment
is toward medium-sized and compact
headgear. This the turban shapes ac-
complish more successfully than other
styles, though there are trimmed sail
or and gypsy models which are both
natty and becoming. However. the
torpedo turban, whose trimmings and
foundation are one, so to speak, will
be the headpiece approved for first
wear. This model, made in number
less fancy straws, braided with tulle
or taffeta, is the headpiece ordered for
number of the palmer Easter gowns.
Some quainter turbans are in mop
cap shape-that is. with the mop frill,
hanging stiffly all round--and several
of these are made entirely of tiny
quillings of net. One such of brown
net, with a wreath of white haw-
thorne, accompanied a delightfully."-
prim frock of brown crepe.
Sailors are taking on again the
round shapes dropped for the boat
angle, and clumps of simple flowers
and scarfs of soft silk trim many of
them.
The New Millinery.
Satin fruit mingled with blossoms,
purple larkspurs, budding twigs and
cabbage roses are some of the orna-
ments of the new millinery, whose
prime intention, to get at the most i'm
portant point of all, is to bend to the
requirements of the individual head.
Merely to own a new headpiece at Eas-
ter is not sufficient for the slave driv-
ers of fashion. 1t must look as if 1t
were born for the wearer-this coronal
as often as destroying as beautifying;
il must fit the head at every point, be
suave, appealing, and yet not challenge
the first glance.
Effective hands coverings among
the new things are OF black and white
silk with colored stitching at the
back. Such gloves button as do kid
gloves and fit the hand as correctly.
When in a tint matching the gown, for
all the new colors are also shown, they
seem elegant.

grounds of these also showing faint
watering-like moire.
Lastly, among the silk novelties is
lace chiffon, a gaGze-like fabric with
plaid patterns outlined in drawn
threads-all in the weaving, of course.

display that carefulness of handiwork
without which, it would seem, no good
effect is now ever achieved. A cloth
puffed sleeve, which would otherwise
hang clumsily, is softly tucked by
hand at the inside arm. The lace and
passementere stock may be attached
to the waist by hand embroidery and
anywhere that plain stitchery may be
used, it is. In model the Easter gowns
show mainly improvements on winter
styles, for which the exception of an
occasional overskirt effect and a more
cape-like shaping of collars, there is

Though spring and summer fashions
have long been in. 1t is really the
pageant of Easter Sunday which will
impress their points upon the lay
mind.
In New York this fashionable pa
rade seems almost as much a part of
the holy day as the church services
themselves, all feminine humanity
choosing the occasion for the first air
ing of its new finery. From head to toe
fair woman suddenly blooms forth
afresh-thatched with the daintiest
headgear, robed in colors as delicate
as the first flowers and carrying the
parasols of June.
The imported costumes which have
been brought over for Easter wear
clearly demonstrate one thing-there

A costume definitely overskirted is

the back with shaped sashes, is bor-

Though lace can never be out of
fashion, it is not nearly so much in
demand as year ago, more nets, chif-
fons and gauzes being now combined
with dressy summer materials. Few
all-lace gowns and entire bodices are
seen unless these later are covered
with a collar of the gown material

tendency is to set bizarre colorings

-Denmarks kings for 1888 yards have

This is not the result of accident. 1t
is the law of Denmark that Christian

Frederick by Christian. To attain this

Danish price, no matter what other
