SOUVENIR POSTAL CARDS.
PRINTED BY THE BLIND.

Yes" said an attendant. 'the cards are
really printed by the blind. though those
who are blessed with sight may wonder
how the blind do such work where eyesignt
is apparently Indispensable. They are turn
ed out by the blind pupils of the Columbia
Polytechnique Institute Of this city. and
the work is well executed. The cards are
arranged here, and the pennies in the boxes
are collected by a young man attached to
the institute who Is not entirely stone blind
.Of course there Is nothing to prevent
any person from helping himself to as
many cards as he pleases, and to forget
to drop corresponding number of pennies
in the little safes. But man would have
to have conscience like a sun baked brick
to steal from the blind. number of the
cards are sold daily and 1t is upon the
hypothesis that the general honesty of the
public will prevail that the cards are thus
exposed. There is stand with cards far
Their down the corridor near the 18th street
side. out of the view of the hall watchmen.
Some little coiored boys have been In the
habit of slipping in the farthermost door,
mingle with the crowd and raid the card
stands. We hope to catch these little ras-
Gals, and when we do we win rely upon the
court to punish them according to their
constituencies offense.''

which is designed expressly for boating and
not for general country wear. AS regards
the soft flannel collar, held in place with a
safety pin, its warrant seems to be sealed.
When this mode was first borrowed from
England 1t was with the idea of combining 1t
avowedly to lounge use. Thus 1t was appro-
pirate enough for golf1ng, tramping, tennis,
horseback, yachting and for steamer wear
between Sandy Hook and the Lizard. Just
as soon, though, as the untutored seized
upon the soft flannel collar with avidity and
turned 1t from its proper use into q town
collar 1t at once became de trop among
those who would rather be dead than be
commonplace Be 1t understood the soft
flannel collar will be worn, but its claim to
be good form has been nullifed by excessive
popularity, always the death sting to ex-
clusiyeness. Russet shoes are as correct as
ever for the country, but they will be much
less worn in town, the plain black calfslSin
being preferred. The summer tie par excel
lence Is unlined for softer and more grace
full knotting. and the best country shirts are
all made with turn-back cuffs. These have
come TO be the distinctive mark of a lounge
shirt, and, for my part, l believe it desir-
able to establish line of demarkation be-
tween the formal and informal shirt. The
evening jacket. or Tuxedo, being an infor-
NAL garment also, takes the shirt with
folded cuffs. The newest Tuxedo shirts are
made of silk and cotton, with folded back
cuffs and a soft pleated bosom of sheer
white silk.
Evening Dress.
Evening dress brings several novelties
worthy at least of casual note. Self laids
and stripes l have already mentioned, and
they promise to come even more noticeably
to the fore next autumn. Evening shoes
with cloth uppers are good form for indoor
wear, but not for the street. The kid up
pers are preferred. Does the adoption of
rather bizarre forms and fabrics for even
Ing dress foreshadow a swerving from the
simplicity endeared by custom and hallowed
by tradition? Many believe it. Conserva-
tive men frown upon departures, however
slight, but the younger set seems to indorSe
them with a WILL OF course at present the
radical innovations are limited to Tuxedo
clothes. and there they not out Of place,
If we regard the dinner Jacket as Iounging
garment pure and simple. Waistcoats and
ties to match, in gray, plum and even dark
green, are not quite so silly to look at as
they sound in print. But by degrees even
the severely plain scheme of formal evening
dress is yielding to the itch for change One
of the best-knoWn leaders of the younger
social set appeared a few weeks ago in
velyet-collared evening coat and wearing
white silk hose. Now the very mention of
white silk hose may seem to carry it's con-
domination with it, but a matter of fact

walker, on Connecticut avenue between
l. and NJ streets, before 1920 John and
Henry Walker in later years operated
here. The first named resided not far away
on l street near 18th street. George w
Emerson followed Henry Walker at a more
recent time, and John Hoover William
Linkins, John Berry, Frank Linkins and
others did their slaughterlng on this run.
One of the most prominent objects was the
Western burial ground. known also as Hol-
meads, at the upper end of Goth street
which was established by the corporation In
1907 'for the interment of all denominations
of people" This square and one near the
eastern terminus of IL street north had been
previously assigned to the public, and in the
year noted the councils provided that they
be inclosed with a fence of cedar posts and
chestnut rails. under the direction of three
commissioners appointed by the mayor.
The Western ground was much used in
the course of time. every site being occu-
pied. In and about 1t were cedar trees,
which stood as sentinels over the dead.
About 1870. however the cemetery was con-
demned as a menace to health and the
bodies were mostly removed to Rock Creek
and Glenwoed cemeteries, while those of the
noted preacher, Lorenzo Dow, and others
found second last restinf place at Oak
HILL
Ridgway's Tavern.
Near the graveyard a tavern was located
in the early days. known as Ridgway's.
That such a place was regarded as an ell
gible stand is explainable in the fact that
at that time the temperance movement had
made but little Roadway; that to the grave
yard. Kalorama. there was considerable
travel. and that the cut from the old BIa-
densburg road to Georgetown crossed Goth
street, not far away.
In the square south was the country home
Of William O'Neale. the landlord of the
Franklin House This tavern was large
building about which were orchard and gar
den, filing the square, which O'Neale called
his farm. Here he enjoyed taste Of rural
life. and was not stinted in the entertain

surrounded by his family of children and
grandchildren.

clothes Mark you, I no advocate of
follies In dress and particularly not in even
ing dress, which should. above all, be dignf-
fed simple and have, beside. suggestion
of old-world grace. Any clear-sighted OBJ
server, however. can note restlessness
toward the present subdued standards Of
evening dress and signs of a possible
change. Let us not, however. tamper with
the accepted rules in a revolutionary spirit.
Changes must come by evolution, not revo-
luton.
New Waistcoats.
I portray group of waistcoats which are
notably new and markedly rnodish. The
first is fashioned of tie silk, with five but
tons and 'v'' front. Ascot and waistcoat
are made of the same material-watered
silk-in light gray shade, and both give a
very pleasing effect when worn with the
frock or morning coat. The second model
is a Tuxedo of light gray silk. with three
small buttons and a deep opening at the
bottom. The cardinal feature of this gar
ment Is the extremely broad lapels, whose
peaked points come within three-quarters
of an inch of the armpit. The third design
represents q Tuxedo waistcoat of velvet
chiffon in plum shade. The lapels form
an oval "V and extend down as far as
those of the regulation white evening waist
coat. The buttons are amethysts and are
sold separately, while the tie matches the
waiStcoat in color. A similar Tuxedo style
monte. and has smoked pearl buttons.
Next is day wastceat of white silk,
double breasted. six buttons, with small
V-shaped bottom opening. The lapels are
very wide and peaked and the collar Is
notched. On the flap OF the left-hand lower
pocket is embroidered the wearer's mono
gram The buttons, of which there are six,
are arranged in V-shape. The last model
is flannel morning waistcoat, family
striped in gray, having four smoked but
tons. Half inch from the edges is silk
cord binding. The lower pockets have flaps,
scalloped to point.
The Soft Flannel Collar
Regarding the soft flannel collar the
smart shirts all have 1t attached though 1t
is sold separately in the popular-priced
shops. newer fad, and one that l fancy
will spread, Is to have the collar of the shirt
of the same type as the garment itself IN
derstand me, / do not mean coiored collar
but a white collar, with faint pattern lines
corresponding in tint to the body of the
shirt. This is an English idea, and 1t Is yet
sufficiently exclusive to commend itself to
the set which makes differentness the para
mount consideration. II would not surprise
me to see this idea ultimately adapted to
ready shirts, though it is secure from re-
production in made-up garments for at least
d season or two. An ultra idea, to be sure
but not without distinction.

DINAL FEATURES FOR SUMMER.
The Spirit Informal in Dress-one-
Color Scheme Not Desirable Because
of Lack of Contrast
From the Haberdasher.


Society is now pervaded by a spirit ex-
tremely informal 1t used to be that much
stress was laid on conforming to a set of
infexible rules. embracing not only clothes
but equally all ceremonious forms and for
mulas. Today however. it is somewhat a
fashion to plume ones self on disregard of
conventionality as the badge of the really
smart. This. then. is the reason why the
dress of this summer will go even farther
than ever In its ease and informality. The
looseness and softnesS OF summer clothes
are marked, and these attributes extend
even to the accessories of dress. the shirt
the collar, the cravat and the boot. Were
asked to summarize in a breath the clothes
OF the smartly dressed man this summer l
would say that 1t consists OF a sleeveless
undershirt. which matches in pattern a
pleated outer shirt knee drawers of white

flannel shirt, with soft foldedback cuffs;
low white linen collar, worn with a broad bow

easy-breezy fannels tweeds or homespuns

TO be doubted. however. whether this single
color scheme IS COmmendable, though white.

grateful 10 the eye. Dressing in one color

6 TRACKS TO pITTSBURG
Pennsylvania Engineers Laying
Grades for New Freight Line.

TRENTON, Aug. 13.-Work on
the new freight line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad from New York to
Pittsburg, which means the compile
ton of a six-track system between the
two cities, has begun. Engineers
from the Philadelphia Office are at
present laying out the grades be-
tween M~orrisville, Penn, and Phila-
delphia. The necessary purchases of
land have been made, and as soon as
the engineers can complete the grade
work track laying will be begun.
Track laying on the section from
Morrisville to Newark is to be start
ed at once. With the completion of
this division a siX-track system from
here to Jersey City will have been
completed. The largest undertaking
on the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. part of the
work, will be the building of the new
bridge across the Delaware from this
city to Morrisville.
The two new tracks, which are to
be used for relief purposes, will be in
dependent from the four-track system
now in service, and in many places
they will be some distance apart.
They will in all probability be operat-
ed separately.

NFW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 10
Chal Tor Magic has allowed the
writ of error applied for by Lawyer
Alan Strong carrying up the convic-
ton of Fred Lang for the murder of
Katie Gordon to the Supreme Court.
This stops the hanging August 2S,
and insures at least a years delay in
carrying out the sentence.
The application was made on the
ground that two of the grand jurors
were owe age and the granting of
the writ shows that the chancellor
evidently believes there is something
in this point.
The writ carries the case up for
review by the Supreme Court whore
it will be argued at the November
term and decided in February. If an
adverse decision is given by the SUI
preme Courtr the case can be carried
to the court of errors where it would
be argued at the June term and de-
cided in November of next year.

JUDGE HELD UP
FOR SPEEDING

Into the Clutches Of the Law
on Staten Island.

Judge Wilbur A. Heisley, of the

noon by Motorcycle Policeman Reilly.
charged with exceeding the speed
limits with an automobile. The judge
objected at much length to be held.
Reilly charges the judge with run
ming his machine twenty-five miles an
hour. In the machine at the time
with the Judge wer his chauffeur and
two women, That they were in a
hurry to reach Manhattan was shown
when the judge ordered the chauffeur
to take the machine and continue the
trip while he went to the station
house. The judge was taken in the
machine to the station house at Sta
pleton, and then the machine went on
toward St. George.
To the sergeant Judge Heisley
maintained he was not violating the
law. He said that after arriving at
Tottenville from Perth Amboy, he
had himself taken the lever and
wheel to make sure that while in New
York state the speed limit would not
be exceeded. He said he was on his
way from his home in Long Branch
at the time. He insisted that he had
not travelled as fast as the, officer al
legged. The sergeant told Judge Heis-
ley he had no choice, but must hold
him under bonds. Then it developed
