"GreeIx- Gowning.

Greek gowns are what the fashion
makers are seeking. and few women
there are who can carry off the
style. The models sent here from
foremost French houses. notably from
one famous house, are styled elias
steal" but the fact is they are mod
ern in every sense of the word The
skirts have high Wristbands on En-
pie lines, but are fitted as closely
as they can be, and still allow for
any movement Of joints under them,
and this is not Empire and neither
is it Greek; it is distinctly modern
French. Many Of the skirts are un-
trimmed, but a large number Of them
have tunics, which always have long
lines falling in with the scanty folds
Of the skirt. The fashion is for ultra
aressers, women who can afford to
wear an expensive costume few
times and then abandon it, and they
must have perfect figures.

BELMONT TRANSFERS REALTY
20tIischilds Obtain Great Proper
ties in New York.
Park Row Building Included--Amcr-
lean Financiers Decline to Discuss
Deal With European Bankers.

New York City Financial and
real estate circles were startled to
earn that August Belmont had trans
ierred to Lord Nathaniel Meyer Roth
schild and the latter's partners in the
great English banking house in Lon
Ion more than S6,000.O00 worth of
cal estate in Manhattan and the
Bronx.
The property so transferred con-
sists of the following:
The Park Row Building, a thirty
.hree-story skyscraper opposite the
General Postoffice, valued at $4,000
300
No. Park Row, a comparatively
lew eight-story and Office building,
5aIued at about s250,0 900.
Four vacant lots at the northeast
corner of Fifth avenue and Eighty
irst street, valued at about $500, 900.
Fifteen lots at 13Stn street and
Exterior street, in. the Mott Haven
section of the Bronx, and property at
The northwest corner of Mott avenue
ind 138th street, probably worth
lbout 100000.
With the exception of the Park
Row Building all this property is un-
ncumbered. The Park Row sky
scraper is subject to mortgage of
s2,500,000, in favor of Mrs Russell
Sage
Mrs Sage, it is understood, adj
vanced the $2,500,000 cash to Mr..
Belmont about six months ago.
In connection with the latter it
was recalled that Mr.. Belmont held
me of the largest interests in the
noted pool, organized with the idea
If making big profit out of the
common stock of the marlborough
Metropolitan Railway Company or
traction trust" as it is now more
commonly known.
This pool agreed to underwrite
soc, 900 shares of this stock at so.
AS matter of fSct, it is believed
hat it purchased morethan that num-
)er of shares, with the idea of UNI
'oading them on the unsophisticated
public at handsome advance in
orice.
The action of the market seems to
Indicate that certain insiders were
iisloyal to their fellow members in
he pool and were getting rid of as
much of their stock as they could
while ostensibly boosting the price.
About last August the crash came.
Suddenly the price of the merger
stocks collapsed and that of the COM
non dropped to about 5. Recently
It had risen to SA. Taking round
figures namely, that the price Of
he common stock at and the price
1t which Mr.. Belmont's pool took the
SOC, 900 shares, namely, SO, the loss
would be about $12, 100000.
