A youthful evening frock seen lately was
of accordion pleated pink chiffon over net

was of yellow chiffon over charmeuse on

with wider bands of longer haired dark

this season.
Fitch, the fur of golden hue, was seen in a
pleasing union with reseda green velvet
adorned with gold enbrolderies and long
row of gold crocheted buttons. The proX-

the former to the most precious of metals.

MAYOR OF SCHOOL CITY IN
Pomp Marks Ceremony of In
auguration in P. S. 114.

If ever the city officials should be in need
of model government from which to de-
rive inspiration they might be referred to
the officials Of the school city in Public
School No. ia. at the corner of Oak and
James streets. The model mayor was in
augurated yesterday with all the pomp
and ceremony necessary to such occasions.
although Mayor Gaynor and some other
invited guests were conspicuous only by
their absence.
\ week ago there was an exciting cam
paign, when rival candidates for municipal
offices held mass meetings at noon, with
stump speeches of fiery eloauence. The in
structor in civics had hand in the eleC-
ton, consequently it was marked by un-
ruffied calm at the polling places. AS each
student voted his name was checked off
by the watchers in the school register, SO
that there was no chance for fioaters, even
If such things had yet .crept into this
guileless political system. The nominations
had been made by the teachers, because
they were not then ready to turn over to
an inexperienced people all the functions
of government but the elections were a
free expression of the opinion of the whole
school.
Most of the work of the newly elected
of1cialS, who VIII serve only until the term
ends ends In January. will be connected with the
discipline of the younger students in the
halls and stairs. Later il may be extended
to cover classroom work and the honor
system of conducting examinations.
The officials lnauSUrated yesterday are
as follows: His Honor the Mayor, Antonio
Cammorata; the president of the board of
aldermen. Joseph SEWN: police commits
sioner, Edward Marks and city clerk.
Abraham klausner The inaugural address
of Mayor Cammorata is going to be copied
neatly and preserved in scrap book along
with the press notices of his career It
