The important question OF the length Of

three-auarters and seven-eighths Of the

evening gowns they vary with the wishes
of the wearers.
Many Of the afternoon dresses rejoice
In half-length or three-quarter-length
sleeves, in addition to which there are
subcuffs Of material similar to that used
for the guimpe. The entire length can be
the full length or halfway between elbow
and wrist. while some models show an ad-
ditional length in soft ruffles that fan

The length OF sleeves may be modified

glimpse she has afforded of her YER

The Countess Rossi is again the
center of attraction from her first en-
trance to final exit. She dresses with
much chic and on every appearance

its clear crystalline quality, is well
controlled. "Carissima' she sang

summer at the recreation piers and
summer Fairgrounds.
As a result of these lectures, what
is known as the League of Little
Mothers was organized among the lit
tie foster mothers in New York city.
And though the name does not appear
in the register of the General Fedora
tion of Women's clubs, or on the ros-
ter of the Congress of Mothers, the
new organization bids fair to revolu-
tionize conditions some of these days.
The health department supplies the
certificates of membership in the
league, and the so-called gold" or
silver badges worn by the leaguers,
but membership in the clubs is purely
voluntary. Incidentally the badge car
ries with it the privilege Of a combina-
ton of police and missionary duty to
the ignorant or Indifferent mothers of
larger growth-a privilege which the
little mothers exercise with great en-
joyment.
Letters written by some Of these lit
tie mothers to imaginary friends, in
an impromptu examination held by the
physician at one of the schools early
this month, showed a surprising grasp
of the question. The deadly germs that
lurk in ice cream, the dangers of wat
ermelon or other fruits as a food for
the baby were discussed with a gravity
which might have been assumed by a
medical student in the last year of his
course. The letters showed that the
little mothers not only took the in
struction seriously, but their accounts
of their experiences as missionaries
to the untaught older mothers proved
that they could be counted on as some
of the most effective crusaders in the
fight against infant mortality. Best of

has a double effect. 1t is not only
educating the foster mothers of to-
day; it is beginning the training of the
real mothers of a few years from now.

Feminine Garb

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Inability to
assume feminine gait at the same
time that he donned woman's clothing
proved the undoing of a wayfarer from
Chicago in Brooklyn today.
Something heavy-footed about the
walk of an unfamiliar figure in femt-
nine garb seen coming out of a house
on Buffalo avenue, the occupants of
which are out of town, excited the
suspicious of neighbors. and one of
them started in pursuit. The sup
posed woman broke into run and
when caught showed a surprisingly
masculine ability to fight.
When subdued and taken to police
station the prisoner was seen to be a
man wearing a tight fitting gown, with
two pairs of tightly laced corsets. under
it and a picture hat. In a bundle
which the prisoner carried the police
say they found a quantity OF wo
mems clothing and a 500 diamond
ring.
The prisoner gave his name as Gus
Edwards and said he came from
