News of the summary removal OF
the boy president Of the George Jun.
ior Republic up at Freeville who, was
charged with abuse of his official
powers, has struck with envy the
boss-ridden citizens OF this city to-
day, What these boy and girl "citi-
zens" did on their own initiative, in
stantly and without question, is a
thing which every New Yorker is
confessing he does not rise to ac.
complish here once in ten years.
The untrustworthy officials, New
Workers have always with them; yet
their citizenship has apparently never
attained the high pitch which showed
in the prompt ousting OF this erring
boy by children, every one OF whom
lis being started straight after a
crooked beginning in life. The sue
cessful recIaiming of hundreds Of
youngsters at this child community
has long been known and appreciat-
ed by the people of this city, where
every man is today forced to take
off his hat to the citizenship which it
teaches.

DAINTINEss IN BABY CAPS
Pretty Head Coverings Made Of Lat
tlce Work of Ribbon Over Col
ored Lining.

The mother who thinks her small
child looks better In a lacey-looking
cap, yet wishes to keep 1t warm,
should make one of the little caps
that are sort of lattice work of rib
bon over colored lining.
Narrow double-faced ribbon an inch
wide should be chosen, as 1t must fold
back on itself at the edges of the
rows. Make up a pattern in paper,
that just fits baby and sew the ribbon
on it in diagonal parallel lines, run
ming in two directions to form open
squares. Where the ribbon is turned
form a border of points around face
and bottom of cap.
Fill in the squares with spiderwebs
such as are used in drawn work open
ings. These should be worked in
heavy twisted embroidery silk the
color of ribbon.
The paper is torn away and the
ribbon cap is worn over colored
silk lining that hides a thickness of
warm flannel underneath Rosettes Of
ribbon head the ties of lawn or wider
ribbon.

When planning the winters outfit
he afternoon home gown comes in
:or large share of attention. 1t is
one of the most important of all cos
tunes, for 1t is worn at more or less
formal home affairs, such as recep-
tions, teas, musicales and the numer-
GUS occasions of the season.
The gowns sketched are suitable
for this purpose and bear all the hall
marks of the latest Partisan modes.
The first gown is of a deep, smoky
heliotrope velvet having a blush
tinge. The velvets of the season are
wonderfully soft and lustrous, not at
all the hard, stiff material it used to
be. 1t is one of the most graceful
fabrics for the drapings that are SO
much in vogue.
The skirt and bodice draperies of
this gown are held by large cut jet
:abochon ornaments. The under
sleeves and chemisette are of old

harte,s RepIy to Carton.

r. c. Carton, the English play
wright, was an actor before his
health became SO delicate that he had
to give up the stage. He lives at Ac-
ton in a beautiful house which is
filed with souvenirs of famous
people and where he entertains 9TH
ers equally famous. Once Bret Harte
visited him and Carton asked him If
his California stories were not slight
ly overdrawn. Harte answered that
on the contrary they were toned
down, and illustrated by the story Of
California desperate who came
across an English ''tenderfoot' in a
saloon bar. Have a drink" said the
westerner, but the Englishman, who
did not know that it is considered a
deadly insult from one of these gen.
try, declined with thanks. Where
upon the westerner reached for his
gun in tired sort of way, Cant
hev drink without killing a mani"
he asked.

ATTENTION PAID TO HOSIERY
This Part of Costume of the Woman
of To-Day Must Be Dainty and
Appropriate.

There was time when women were
satisfied to save the finest pair Of
black stockings, and to stow away for
best use the daintiest of shoes, but
nowadays the question of hosiery agi-
tates women as much as coat suits
and evening hats.
The woman who has plenty of
money buys silk stockings to match
her gown and even INDUCES in de-
signs embroidered at the instep, and
her cousin with smaller income in
vests in Isle thread and embroiders
a design over the instep. She cannot
originate or transfer a design cor
rectly; therefore she has pattern
stamped on the stockings by compe-
tent person.
For the bride who is to be married
in white there could be no more ac-
ceptable gift than white silk stock.
ings. These may be plain, embroid-
cred or enriched by insets of good
quality of lace.

Tlqht Hose Injurious.

Are your stockings long enough for
your feet?
A seller Of shoes remarked not long
ago that the short stocking was pro-
ductive of as much discomfort and
foot mischief as the tight shoe.
And a great many women do buy
their stockings too short.
The result of this is to draw" the
feet to make the tips of the toes ten
der and sore, and generally to in
crease ones disposition to fatigue.
Stockings should be at least half an
inch longer than the foot.
To keep them from rumpling up and
forming irritating creases, make q
small cross-wise plait under the arch
of the foot.
When the foot is thrust into the
shoe the pressure draws this plait
out to sufficient extent to make the
stocking quite easy.

Fouaht Duel with Axes.

Armed with large axes, two men
fought a duel one day recently in a
Williamsburg (Mass.) back yard,
while scores of women and children
looked on. AS a result Patrick Romo
was taken to the hospital suffering
from fracture of the skull, and his
condition is critical. Michael Perrin
badly cut, was also taken to the hos
pital, and later arrested on a charge
of felonious assault. Both men live
in the house near which they fought.
Their wives while chopping kindling
wood, got into an argument over their
children. In few minutes they were
Joined by their husbands, who seized
the axes their wives had been using,
and started to fight. When a con-
stable rushed into the yard Perrin was
standing over Romo, who had fallen,
and was about to bring down the ak
in final blow. The policeman felled
Perrin with his club.
