 HOUSEHOLD LITTER
The Latest Baby Fashions-Outfits That Are Modish and Hygienic- Long Clothes and Short.

New York, Sept. 16-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican, "A visit to the exchanges and to the best shops and departments that make a speciality of many outfits shows that common sense and fashion have joined forces in producing dainty, attractive clothes and nursery appliances, so that late arrivals from Rabyland can have fittings at once pretty and hygienic.

PUBLIC FLYING GROUND
 NEW YORK AFRONAUTS
Flying Machine Inventors Can Test Theories on Aviation Field" Opened by Aeronautic Society.

New York, Sept 21-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.)- New York is the first city in the world to have special grounds set aside for the testing and use of air ships, a striking evidence of the be- lief that is held here in the future efficiency and importance of aerial craft This has been brought about through the efforts of the Aeronautic Society, an organization made up of enthusiasts and practical inventors who are engaged in working out the many problems connected with the practical solution of the question of aerial navigation. Morris Park, in the northern part of the city, which was for years one of the most fam oUs race courses in the country and the scene of many a royal battle be- tween turf favorites, has been devoted to this purpose. The open space above the field and track affords a course a mile and three-quarters in extent for the flight of aerOplanes. Some of the buildings on the grounds have been converted into carpenter and machine shops where every de- tall 'L 'ilS Soii7ei uStioi anu iSpoli of flying machines is provided for. Two special structures for launching aeroplanes on their flights have been built and the handsome club house. now the home of the Aeronautic so- ciety, contains models and photo graphs of every partially successful airship that has been built, from the huge dirigible of Count Zeppelin to the aeroplanes used by the Wrights and Delagrange in their recent flights. Every day the flying grounds" present a scene of lively activity for over twenty members of

 long clothes-sOleIy with the practical needs of the child in mind. It is ;rCll to have an abundant supply of simple little slips to be worn either day or night changing of course at niglls just as one does for an older child. There are sure to be one or two pretty dresses among the presents sent hy friends, that will answer for the Christening or for any other function where baby may be in evidence. Dainty little wrappers and soft comforts of wool or flannel or tuffeted silk serve to wrap him about and form a most be- coming background when he is shown to callers, and these are articles most generally selected for presents.
 THE NEWEST SKIRTS AND SHIRTS
 The newest flannel skirts for day wear are all in one piece from shoulder CT to hem. fastening on the shoulder with tiny buttons and doing away al- together with the wide cotton band of the old style petticoat very pretty and practical skirt that is novel has the upper part crossing over, surplice fashion. and ties in the back with silk tapes, doing away with buttons or shield pins. The best shirts are woven of fine ribbed material. either all wool. silk or mixture of the two. These cost from 40 cents up and Lave tab at the lower front edge -o hold the shield pin and thus prevent the gar ments from slipping apart.
 A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
 It is a good plan to have any cx- pensive dresses in the outfit. as well as the finer flannel skirts, long enough to make two similar garments when the child puts on short clothes. This change is usually made at six months or thereabOutS
 FOR EASY WEAVING.
 The weaning of the baby comes at the same period as a rule and too often is time of great anXiet-- and discomfort. The most successful way of effecting the change to artificial food is to begin giving one or two daily feelings of a nigl grade baby food like Nestle's in connection with tthe natural sustenance. Most babies need additional food fer their proper

put the latter apartment. Recently the excise officials became interested in the report that drinks were dis pensed in the clubhouse of the feminine 400" inasmuch Vas they observed in
 looking over the records that no li
 cense ever had been issued to the club. Thereupon they paid a visit to the clubhouse-a raid it might have been called had it taken place in con- nection with less exclusive organiZa- ton. As to what they may have dis covered in the way of commodities which are the special concern of inter nal revenue officials no announcement has been made but the interesting fact has leaked out that certain menu cards observed in the club contained not only lists of wines and liquors but ciga- rettes, and--worst of all-cigars. Most of the prominent members of the club are out of the city and others are per sistently mot at home" to inquirers who seek information on this subject.
 New York has not only the largest army of school children of any city in the world, but also probably the great est variety of schools devoted to spe- cial purposes. The latest of these has just been opened on a spacious farm owned by the city in Queens Borough and is called the parental school"
 This does not mean. as might be imag- ined at first thought, that it is a school for parents, although various social re- formers have insisted that these are needed. It is in fact designed espe- cially for trUants. Among 640,000 school children there naturally are a large number who habitually play hockey. Tn fact the records for last year show that there were over ten thousand children who were truants at some pe- riOd during theayear. About one-tenth of these were so confirmed in the hab- it of evading their school duties that the only way they could be kept in school was by having the school take the place of the parent and assume en- tire charge of them. This accounts for the name that has been applied to the new school It is located in beautiful grounds and is equipped with fine new

 Fresh air and plenty Of it is a necessity for the growing little men and women. and they can hardly have too much outdoor life If only they arc properly protected so that even tenn perature of the body is maintained. Sudden chills are responsible for most dangerous illness m infants and the utmost care must be exercised to pre- veent these.

the society are now at work on some
 form of machine designed to navigate the air. Although the grounds are under the control of the Aeronautic society, their use is not restricted to members. Anybody in any part of the country who thinks he has good idea in connection with the problem of conquering the air is welcomed and is assisted to test out his plan, even to the extent of being provided with a motor and other apparatus. The various originals, models and photographs of aerial apparatus have been collected from probably the most complete aeronautical exhibit in eX- istence. Most of the tests and expert ments carried on heretofore have been held on government grounds or in the open fields by inventors work ing independently. In providing a place where any man can take his own airship and try it out under the direction of experts, New York has made a radical departure and one that indicates that at last the airship is being taken seriously.
 What is the good of being a member of a strictly up-tO-date wOman's club if you can't make use of it's uniCue features without causing a lot of peo- pie to rise up and make a TOW? That is the question that women of the ultra fashionable colony clubs are ask ing themselves. There are a vast num- Der of women's clubs in New York but most of them are mere debating societies or were organized to further some charitable or educational pur- pose. The Colony club is different. It has its own handsome club house and was planned to give it's members all the comforts and luXuries which their male relatives enjoy in the Union or Knickerbocker or other exclusive mems clubs along Fifth avenue When the new clubhouse was opened a year or more ago it was rumored that the building was supplied with a card room, cafe, and even a smoking room. As no men are allowed in the club no satisfactory eXplantion was given as to the use to which it was intended to
