Many of the gowns made

for chic Americans are in sole de Chine
and silk muslins, f1ounced nearly up to
the waist. Some of the most beautiful
are scalloped and have embroidered
edges, while others show founces trim
med with handsome embroideries or
dentelle worked with gold thread.
There may, of course, be reaction
later On, but somehow l think that with
the pelerine effects and the increased
furore for taffeta, we must remain
faithful to the skirt of many fiources.
The silk frocks are very quaint. The
long, pointed bands a Ia Marie Antoin-
cite are in keeping with the fichu-like
effects On the bodice and the fiounced
skirt Some Of the pelerines are also
founceo.
An American elegante took to the
Riviera a charming frock of cream silk

six inches below flounced with a series
of small f1ounces. trimmed with the
tiniest edging o. mink. The yoke con-
sisted of an empiecement of dentelle.

the garments designed by the great
artists in the world of dress, but there are
so many among US who have the same
aspiration but not, alas! the means to
carry them out
Now there is the question Of blouSes to
be considered, for whatever La Mode
may say about the wearing of dress

teal woman must nearly always have a
shirt or blouse.
For instance, when you go out to lunch.
If you are not driving, you will walk in
coat and skirt, and when you remove
the former you will wish to present a
neat and smartappearance Again, when
calling in the afternoon, unless you are
one of those fortunate folks possessed of
carriage, you must wear something
light underneath your fur wrap or coat.
For travelling and country wear the
shirt is indispensable. l think have
often spoken Of the importance Of being
smart at the neck and waist when wear
ing a shirt or blouse. The waistband of
to-day IS rather an expensive item, they
make the waist look smaller, and are soft
and comfortable. Kid and suede are still
the favorite materials.

Where now stands the Thalia thea

it was close to the cattle markets and

The Finsen uiuht Cure.


United States Consul Frazier of
Copenhagen, Denmark, reports that in.
the finsen Medical Light institute,
now a state sanitarium, 1867 cases
had been treated up to May, 1903, by
the Finsen rays. OF these most were
lupus vulgaris, and in about 1000
cases the best results had been attain
ed, so that ''in most cases one may
count definitely upon a cure" to use
the official language. The doctors at
the institute are extremely conserva-
tive and never promise to effect a
cure; but the records show that in a
majority of the cases where sufferers
gave been encouraged by being ad-
mitted as patients cures have been
effected. In the one case of the
American patients where the physi-
clans have not yet determined wheth-
er they can give relief, it appears the
patient is suffering from a rathe:
deep-seated cancer, but the Finsen
rays do not cure any but the most
superficial cancers.

MS engagement to popular and
pretty local girl was well known. She
was sitting prominently on his plat
form one night while he was in the
hands of the hecklers. 'When are We

voter. The candidate, though obvi.
ously nonplused, had plenty of grit
and he bluntly retorted in confidential
tones: "Look here, gentlemen, it de-
ponds on this contest. Some one in
the vicinity has promised to let me
fix the day if I am elected" The
meeting cheered and he was elected.

New York may now be called a city
OF sumptuous hotels, but it is a long
cry from the Waldorf-Astoria to the
first tavern where the burly Dutch
man drank their schnapps and smoked
their long.stemmed pipes while they
discussed municipal regulations-as,
for example, that hogs should have
rings in their noses; that trees must
not be felled across the streets; or
that liquor must not be sold to the
Indians, or during church hours, or
after 9 o'clock at night.
During the early days of the Dutch

sterdam, any chance travellers were
entertained by the citizens, and the
gracious hospitality of the governor
was extended to all visitors of degree.

entertainment grew so laborious that

there was some special reason for the
clergyman's choice of Scripture.

street and Coenties Slip, facing the
East river. TIE building was of rough
hewn stone, four stories and attic,
with the high-pitched roof common to
all Dutch buildings of that period.
The gable ends of the roof were ar
ranged in steps, as are many of the
old French buildings which still re-
main in the Province of Quebec.
This Stadts Herbergh or City Inn
was completed in 1912 and was used
for public service till 1854, when it
became the Stadt Hugs or City Hail,
and for almost fifty years continued
to be the meeting place for the coun-
Gil Of burgomasters and schepens. In
it was the courtroom and the jail, and
in front cafe and whipping post. In
1899 it was sold for 900 shillings and
taken to pieces.
Opposite Bowling Green was the
tavern of Martin Krieger or Kings
Arms" as it was called later. The
garden of this tavern was favorite
place Of resort for the Knickerbocker
citizens, who in Krieger's day rested
their bodies on the benches and SOL
EMMY smoked while they watched the
sun set behind the trees. In it's lat
ter days it was called the "Atlantic
Garden" and continued to be,a fav-
orite place of resort for entertainment
and recreation.
At 112 William street stood Golden
Hill Inn, built OF Holland brick, one Of
the oldest taverns in Manhattan. 1t
was used as a meeting place by the
Liberty Boys" and just back of the
inn, in an open field, occurred the first
fight with the British regulars in the
war Of the Revolution, Jan. IS, 1910.
This open skirmish Of the war was
called the Battle of Golden Hill, and is
commemorated by tablet on a
building at the corner of John and
William streets.

OF 203 members, holding equal shares.
According to the articles of incorpora-
ton it was to be used and kept as a
coffee house, and for no other use and
purpose whatsoever until the number
OF corporators should be by death re-
duced to seven, at which period the
property was to be divided among
the survivors. This original agree
ment was not adhered to, however, for
the building was afterward altered
and leased for commercial purposes
and the rents divided among the sur
vivors. This coffee house became very
popular in the early days of the last
century, and in it's dissemination of
political ideas was counterpart of
the Fifth Avenue hotel or the Hoffman
house of to-day.
On the present site of the Tribune
building was MARKINGS tavern, the
home of Tammany hall from 1898
until the erection of it's permanent
home in 1911.
In the village of New Dorp, S. T., is
one OF the oldest taverns yet remain
ing within the limits of Greater New
York. It is the old Black Horse tay-
ern, built about 1856. The present
proprietor is Patrick Curry, who
shows with pride the old beams and
timbers Of the original building and
the hanging wooden sign on which
the black horse" is now barely dis
cernlb1e. The sign is full of bullet
marks, showing that it was a fayorite
target more than a century ago.
About fifteen years ago this old sign
was taken down and stored away, for
the heavy iron rings by which it hung
were completely worn through by the
swinging backward and forward for
over 200 years.-New York Times

with three or four-inch hollow space
between the stone and brick, it would
make the cellar very much warmer,
and would be far better than one
lined up with lumber. If the top were
ceiled over with matched lumber and
covered with sawdust it would keep
the cellar from freezing from the top.
The only drawback to putting in a
wood ceiling is that it decays very
quickly. The writer has arched good
many outside cellars with a four-inch
row of brick giving the arch a two
inch rise to every foot in width,
three-quarter-inch rods were placed
through the cellar at the spring of
the arch six feet apart to keep it from
spreading. This was covered with
earth or sawdust; the brick never rots
and makes a clean pure cellar.
