One person out Of every twenty
was arrested during the past year in
New York, a figure which establishes
a new record for police activity in this
city. During the twelve months just
ended no less than 244sz2 persons
we're "pinched" BY the blue.coated
guardians Of the law, as compared to
201772 arrests in 1907 and lS6.67i in
1906 In other words the proportion
Of the total population which falls in
to the hands Of the police is increas-
ing much more rapidly than the total
population. The increase of ALSO
arrests last year over 1907, on basis
Of one arrest for each twenty Of popu-
lation would represent a total increase
Of nearly 100000 in the latter respect
a figure which is Of course many times
too large While the criticism has
been made that many arrests have
been made uselessly, the figures COW
ering convictions in this connection
hardly bear this out In 1906 the to-
tai number of convictions was os,ll4,
in 1907 it had Increased to lii,002,
while in 1908 it was 10000, a larger
proportion of arrested persons being
convicted than ever before, While
the expense Of securing these convic-
tions is large that Of maintaining the
various branches of the police service
is enormous, The figure set for the
present year is $500, 500 among the
items which il covers being twenty adj
ditional automobile patrol wagons,
clubhouse for policemen covering a
block, and a riding hall for the use Of
the mounted service, Altogether the

Provided one has the price and this
applies to about everything in New
York. the out-of-town visitor can now
come to this city with only the clothes
he stands and II he puts up at one Of
the big Broadway hotels finds cloth
ing and everything else he needs for
any occasion without going outside
the building. This Is all result Of a
new practice adopted by the great
carayansaries on Longacre Square,
the centre Of the white light district,
and in striking contrast TO the condi-
tions OF even decade ago when the
casual visitor had to bring everything
he needed or else go out and hunt for
il. In this day Of grace things are
changed, however, and the man who
comes to town on short notice with
out baggage can have his wants at
tended to without stirring outside his
room. Several Of the leading hotels
now carry always on hand for use Of
their out-of-town guests a large sup
ply Of evening suits, either with tail
coats or dinner jackets. The subur-
han wsi'cr n.ay also obtain such
things a. a rink /, which in whic'. %

for solitary women; interpreters for
foreign guests; ministers, doctors,
trained nurses and operating rooms;
bath robes, slippers, tooth brushes
and the like. Last but not least in
the list is the department especially
maintained for animals where pets
are checked with the assurances Of
perfect and expert care. Nothing but
lions, tigers and elephants are refused
according to one manager, the two
former because they are too danger

War has broken out in the ranks OF
the woman suffragists who have been
unusually active here lately, and curl
ously enough the cause Of the troubles
which now threatens to disrupt the
ranks of the advocates Of ballots for
women comes from the accession Of
recruits from ranks OF the wealthy
and fashionable which was expect
ed to add greatly to the strength of
the movement in favor Of votes for
women. Among the most active OF
the organizations supporting this
cause has been a league made up nom
inally at least of women wage-earners
and led by Mrs. Harriet Stanton

charmingly after the design, while
any plain material can be tucked to
suit individual fancy and then cut
out by the pattern. The buttons on
the front are meant as trimming
only, and the closing is made invisi-
bly, at the back. Chiffon with lining
of coarse white net makes n of the
latest fancies, but for use in this way
the lining is cut exactly like the out
side. Tucked chiffon in the fashion
able taupe shade with white net be-
meath would be smart as well as
novel.
The blouse is made with a fitted
lining, which can be used or omitted
as liked. When this lining is used it
is faced to form the yoke, and the
blouse with the fancy collar is ar
arranged over it. When the lining is
! omitted the yoke is joined to the up
per edge of the blouse and the fancy
collar conceals the joining. The
sleeves are the new ones, cut in one
piece each, and are so shaped as to
fit the arms perfectly well, at the
same time that they allow freedom OF
movement.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and a

ter yards twenty-one or twenty-four,

Fancy Blouse.

In spite Of the vogue OF long
sleeves, a great many women cling to
those of three-quarter length, and
they unquestionably will be worn for
indoor occasions throughout the sea-
son. This model allows a choice of
that length or the sleeves that are
extended to the wrists, and even e
the hands, and fills a very useful
place in the wardrobe. 1t Is more
dressy than the plain waist, and 1t Is
not over elaborate. 1t is adapted to
yelling, to cashmere and to simple
wool material. 1t would be charm
ing made up in any Of the soft silks
that are so much worn just now, and
it can be utilized both for the gown
and for the odd waist. In this case
crepe de chine is the material, while
the chemisette Is Of tucked net and
the trimming is handsome buttons.
For the chemisette, however, net, all
over lace, chiffon and all materials OF
the sort are appropriate, and there is
