Such a house gov IS this one always

coming and graceful. while at the same
time It is quite simple and is adapted to
morning occupations. In the illustration
it is made of henrietta, in ruby red
trimmed with pretty fancy banding and
frills of narrow ribbon. The color is a
favorite one Of the season and is always
bright and attractive, but no one shade
can be suited 70 al needs and the season Is
singularly generous in the matter OF color,
So that each individual is quite able TO
choose that which best suits her needs and
be in the height Of style at the same time.
Also there are a variety of materials that

FOR AN ATHLETIC FIELD.

County Treasurer Robert NJ Burns and
other residents of the eastern side Of the
city began a movement yesterday to try
TO have the land east of Walnut street and
north of Fifteenth converted into a public
athletic field and playground The land
runs down 10 the Bandywine and would
be an ideal place for athletics and other
recreation. 1t is back of the silk mill
and match factory and is owned by the
city at present.
The land is owned by the Water De
partment, and the scheme is TO have
Council and the Water Department dedi-
cate the area between Walnut street
Fifteenth street and the Brandywine to
the uses of an athletic field for playing
baseball football. tennis and other out
door games. The area is sufficient to
make a good athletic field
Petitions were in circulation yesterday
addressed to City Council asking that
the land be made a public playground
and they were numerously signed. The
land is not that being improved by the
Water Department along the Brandywine
at the present time, but is east of it.

tive and Referendum, corner Eighth
