years will transform a building from a
thing of uGliness to one OF beauty.
This planting of vines has fortunately
been taken up largely by the public and
private schools, business houses. clubs
and by private householders. In nearly
every case all that has been needed has
been the suggestion made 10 owners or
lessees of such buildings to have them plant
vines and add window boxes. and this they
seemed glad to do. II simply hadn't &C.
Cured 10 them before, that is all.
In the public school yards we have
planted any number of vines. and in some
instances where there has been sufficient
room have made some charming gardens
with flowers. plants and vines. An old
tree which has served it's usefulness instead
OF being cut down and carted away has
an ivy planted Mt the roots and is soon

Driving aprons and box coats are the

Motoring has brought in a demand for
the heaviest Of fur wraps and the lightest
ones to be made OF tTopic weaves. The
wraps needed in winter and those essential
in the hot months are as far apart in text
IRE as Alpha from Omega. Yet the es-
~sentials are an all covering coat, a cap,
gauntleted gloves and goggles. The changes
TO be rlng on these necessities are more
varied h the airs to be sounded from the

women and men in motoring garments

capital.
Autoboating has as yet no other changes

Why. I thought New York was a fearful
place in hot weather."
1t has come about gradually. this change,
with the more individual style Of architect
ure. New York people are getting out Of
the nut Of stereotyped ideas and are en-
pressing their own taste and individuality
instead Of painfully following that of their
~neighbors.
Now, instead OF looking down an avenue
with every other house just like its fellow,
done In plain brownstone, there are Ameri-
can Easements and English Easements and
those suggestive Of old Spanish architecture
as well as our own simple but beautiful
Colonial type.

which are now quite as much a feature Of
city homes as those OF the towns and villages
and you have a picture Of the new city.

To be sure, the fondnessf for English floral
decoration brought back from abroad has
had something 10 do with the ornamental
ton Of porches. stoops and d~oorways; but
the persistent personal work Of this COM
mittee in fostering a love for flowers and
growing plants has been the npin inspira-
ton In developing the work.

Tailors. bootmakers and hatters, to say

the sartorial needs of humanity, gain many
patrons through sport. To provide uni

ball teams Is to-day a vast business. Some
years ago fortunes were made in e~quipping
bicyclists with uniforms. There is still a
trade from such clubs, but IL is only a fash
in the pan compared with the demand
OF the boom days. Fox hunting is per-
haps the sport to demand the most precision
in attire, but some will assert that the
yachtsmen tand for the glass of fashion
and the mould OF form"
II the early days OF English fox hunting
there was little uniformity in the attire Of
the sportsmen. A Mr.. Small OF Clifton is
described by a hunting writer as quite the
beau of those who rode with the Pytchley
in the SOS: He had a round crowned hat
which fitted him like a hunting cap, a pepper
and salt suit. leather breaches. beautifully
cleaned, which buttoned high above the
knee; boots shining like polished ebony,
very short tops. and narrow leather boot
garters, with two silver clasps. His bits
and stirrup irons were most highly pol
ished, and he had an old fashioned saddle,
the pommel low and back, and the PANELS
Of plush"
