Dedication of New Buildings of

The cornerstone was lald by Dr. "A.
Zederbaum, treasurer OF the society. AS
he finished the simple ceremony Mr:
.Judelowitz, on behalf OF the officers OF
the society, stepped to the front OF the
platform and presented hlm with soiiu
silver trowel, engraved on one SIDE WIN
the emblem Of the society and on the
other inscribed with the sentiments OF
his co-workers. DR.. Zederbaum could
scarcely reply to the demands for
speech because Of his emotion.
In his introductory remarks DIR. Hill
kowitz, president of the society, gave a
brief account of the birth, history and
aims of the organization.
Lieutenant Governor Harper spoke IN
part as follows:
Il feel it a privilege to take part IN
the cornerstone laying of this building,
which marks along the highway OF life
a spot where the weary may rest and the
destitute may obtain cheer. 1t is an in
stitution that shows civilization is going
forward. The work accomplished by this
society will be an example Of the highest
ideal. of the purest, tenderest charity
that touches all mankind.
He said too many men think only OF
what they might do in the cause OF char
ity if they were rich, but this instltu-

and is a living monument to the efforts

the motto of the society: He who saves

most important lesson taught by the
services He commended the work Of
the society.
The senator said: 81 hope for the day
when charity Of itself shall be no more

conditions shall be such that charity
will no longer be considered such great

The vogue of the bretelle and sus.:

that advance information classes them

The styles have never been more
all-around satisfactory, so adaptable
to a variety of figures, tastes and
pocketbooks, as they are this season,
and it seems pity to suggest a re-
turn to the elongated shoulder and
pouchy waist, which never could by
any possibility be chic, at least not as
the French know the term.
Bretelle and suspender effects figure
conspicuously in the designs for soft

Draped Effects in Everything.

Draped effects extend themselves to
wraps as we'll as bodices. A large
number are already evidenced, and
by spring it is asserted all but the
strictly tailor-modes will show some
of their characteristics. They are
merely notifications of the Empire
mode. One wrap has a deep pointed
cape, abruptly caught up to meet the
revers in front underneath a braided
ornament; another, carrying out the
drapery idea, shows an Elton, with
the fronts shirred at the side seams
and the surplus material thus allow
ed draped over the bust and fastened
underneath a butterfly bow of vel
vet.
The draping effects are all very
well if long lines and graceful ones
are preserved, but too often they are
not, and the result is disadvantageous.
They are no. more practical for the
stout person or the woman who has
no figure to boast of, than the glove
fitting garment, and they require quite
as much skill in the fashioning One

Carrying full gathered skirt, such
as it often worn to the opera, recep.

matter, for it is nothing more than
making a bag by folding the ends of

The skirt is picked up with the
thumbs and forefngers at the back by
the bottom or edge of the hem and
Strengthened out at the waistline,
while the hands are extended as far
to right and left as they will reach.
When the material has been settled
in folds around the waist, with one
hand holding the two sides together
in front, the skirt is caught up directly
in the middle of the front and the
three edges are held firmly in either
the right or left hand. Held in this
way under an opera cape or long
cloak, a frock with a train or one
that is usually long can be managed
with little difficulty.

that he was "a bit disappointed" add
