Miss Cannon of Doverel Entertains.

One of the prettiest affairs of hte
season was that which Miss Pearl
Cannon entertained at a "tacky"
party on Wednesday evening in hon
or of the visitors of DOverel COM
munity, Misses Whaley and Haddock
Of Brooksville and Miss Lasseter of
Yeomans. The reception hail and
parlors were beautifully decorated
with smilax and holly. Games we're
played, and at late hour fruits
were served. A committee was ap-
pointed to decide to whom the
prize should be awarded for be-
ing the 'tackiest" person. 1t
was quite problem to de-
eide which one deserved the prize,
as all were hard to beat 1t was
finally agreed that Miss Sallie Las
setter and Mr.. Claude McRee were
the winners. At II o'clock the guests
took their departure, declaring Miss
Cannon most charming hostess.

MODEL VILLAGE OF GERMANY
Construction Of Gmlndersdorf Brings
High Praise From a British
Authority.

A model of the workmen's village
of Thunderstorm, belonging to the
firm of Ulrich Gminder, Ltd, cotton
spinners, near Reutlingen, was the
best work of its kind exhibited at the
Vienna Housing congress. 1t was an
example of the successful effect Of
low tones, and judging from the model
and from numerous photographs and
plans the village itself is very sue
cessful in it's general design. The
village stands on rising ground, and
one of the principal streets leads up
to an irregular market place with a
fountain, in the picturesque style
which is 80 much in vogue in modern
German street planning.
The area Of the village is 33 acres.
The houses are the property Of the
firm. On April 1, 1910, there were 48
buildings, comprising ISL dwellings,
the rents varying from ELL las. per
annum for two rooms and kitchen to
ell las. per annum for four rooms
and kitchen. All the living rooms
have a southern exposure. There are
in addition two schools, an inn and a
store. The plan of the village shows
that the works do not form part Of
the village, as in Bournville and Port
Sunlight, but are situated short dis
lance away.
In the design of some of the houses
there is to be noticed, though not to
such a great extent as elsewhere, the
German ornateness of roof lines.
Probably the tendency, which is so
common in Germany, to make the
roof heavy and full Of detail is partly
explained by the proximity Of timber,
rendering possible what would be
ruled out in this country on the
ground of cost, If not of artistic fit
ness.-The London Builder.

IDEAL CITY OF THE FUTURE
What Time May See in City
Building.

At the international town planning
conference in London Eugene Henard,
municipal architect of Paris, gave a
forecast of what the ideal city of the
future would be like. He said in sub
stance: Light and energy will be con-
veyed by electricity. Petrol and oxygen
will supply heat. Liquid air will keep
up refrigeration in every larder. In
addition to heat radiators there will be
cold radiators, which will enable each
house to be kept at the required TEN,
perature.
by this power 1t will be possible to
provide in each house one or more
health chambers closed by close fitting
double windows and doors in which the
overworked occupant on his return
from town will find all the hygienic
conditions which now he can obtain
only by taking an annual holiday.
GLASS verandas Of various shapes
Joined together and with covered foot,
paths, according to standard models,
will shelter pedestrians against rain,
and the normal height of buildings will
be exactly the width of the street. The
roofs of houses will be platforms upon
which small flower beds and verdant
strawberries could be laid out, as they
would be the landing stages for aero
planes.
When this progress shall have been
accomplished the physiognomy Of
towns will be changed, all terraces will
have become landing stages for flying
automobiles. Aviators will be able to
fly from one terrace to another, start
ing and landing as they please. The
natural consequence of this new state
Of things will be that each building will
have to be furnished with big elevators
capable of raising machines when they
are ready to start and taking them
back to the garage on their return.
Houses of this description will also be
used to house motor cars.
Finally the town Of the future will
be traversed by large radiating thor
oughfares, occupied partly by raised
platforms continually moving, which
will insure rapid communication be-
tween the different zones. These plat
forms will be terminated by large re-
volving crossways at the intersection
of the main roads. Large parks and
flower gardens as residence and pleas
ure resorts will bel aid out In various
parts of the town."

Planning Cities Beautiful.

The International Town Planning
exhibition held in London recently
was very Illuminating. France, with
other exhibits, showed the plans for
their recently improved scheme by
which Paris is to be made still more
magnificent and convenient and
healthy, at the cost of $300,OOO,OOO
Nancy, which boasts of being the
most beautifully designed city in the
world, sent a characteristic display,
showing how its spacious streets In
the Renaissance style have been
created out of the old inherited mud
die. Berlin, which is to be largely
replanned, If pending scheme is
proceeded with, and Chicago, whose
,replanning has been a subject of art
competition. showed some of their
programs and devices. Boston took
700 feet of space, and Washington
also had an exhibit. 1t is curious to
notice that among the large exhibitors
were such small or new countries as
Turkey Sweden Belgium ana Finland

FASHIONS FOR LITTLE ONES
In Profuslon Of Ralment the Rising
Generation Is Not Far Behind
Its Elders.

Nowadays they cater just as much
to the children In the matter of dress
as they do to the grown-ups, and a
glimpse into the children's department
of our stores today would open the
eyes of the most incredulous.
Here will be found in the greatest
profusion raiment for all ages and
sizes, from the tiniest tot Just walk
ing to the young lady about to make
her bow to society, who realizes, how
ever, that as yet there is a distinct
line drawn between her gowns and
those of her mother or elder sister.
There is charming litter of bas-
kets on this seasons dressing table
for holding everything that girl uses
in making her toilette, from hatpins
and pincushions to hair ribbons.
A general but not exact uniformity
in shape is preserved in the many
sizes of baskets used in a girls room,
and a general style OF decoration is
carried out in colors that must match.
Baskets for the dressing table are cho-
sen with relation to their uses and
supplemented with fiat desk baskets
that contain materials for correspond.

for holding wells. hosiery, collars and

MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Conditions Are Only Different, No
Matter What Sentimental
Writer May Assert.

The popular" writer who bewails
what he assumes to be the fact that
the "old-fashioned" mother is no more
is liable to defeat his own purpose II
that be intoxicating In children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. 1t is danger which even the
Quantitative theory of literature or
space rates cannot Justify.
The mother of the past Of course,
was different from the mother of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions Of life then and now,
but since her daughter is the mother
of the present there must be some
points of similarity. All the good in
our mothers and grandmothers GER
tainly could not have vanished. It
will be paying scant tribute to those
door, good women who have laid down
their precepts and examples and pass
ed on to say so. And, of course, this
writer does not mean to do that, yet
he comes very near doing what he
does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentiment
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good lies in the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
If they were it would simply be be-
cause of the present generation being
so much inferior to the past that it
was unable to do no more than stand
Jtill.

in the jauuty little helmet hat with
visor front Brought forth in Paris
and transplanted to New York, It is
shown in the smartest of Fifth avenue
shops. Worn at just little angle one
can see how widely It differs from the
demure bonnet-like shapes.
1t is a simple looking piece OF mil
linery, but will bear studying. The
frame Is covered with white satin and
faced with black velvet. Piping cord
finishes the brim edge and the velvet
collar and fiat bow at the front. This
particular model is one of those bid
ding for favor and is a radical new de-
parture. Whether she will or she
won't" is the all important question.
My lady of fashion is ready for
changes, but just what will please her
restless fancy remains to be found
out. Small, flexible hats are the most
promising for street wear. They are
commendable from the standpoint of
comfort, but their correct adjustment
will take care on the part of the wear
ers and tendency to lose their orig
inal lines will have to be combatted.
In felts and velvets, as in furs, the
soft hats have body enough to remain
shapely. They are without doubt the
most successful of new things placed
before the public.

AR ILLINERY modes have run to the
W new and strange lately and the
question of what next" is asked
with an anxious tone by those who
must suit the caprice of fashion or
lose in the business race. Just what
next no one up to this writing knows
exactly, but Of one thing we are fair
ly sure, and that is, continuing vogue
Of small hats. We have come about as
close to the bonnet as we are likely to
get, and we will depart therefrom,
when spring comes. But the small hat
Is here and will be here; for which all
those who travel in street cars and
ride in elevators or walk upon wind
swept streets, are duly thankful.
Two types, as unlike as possible, are
shown here. One is of the present
mode, fitting like bonnet and
trimmed at the back with big rosette
Of ribbon. This is an old development
of the bonnet-turban style which is
dear to the winter girl in many vary
ing forms. This is a double coronet
brim, development of the turban, on
lines familiar, in every community
from one ocean to the other. The
double coronet is by way Of variety
and the draping is very cleverly ar
ranged by means of this peculiar
frame.
A precursor of new ideas is shown

Gold Used on China.

The newest designs in china reveal
a lavish use of gold, not only in the
border Of the dishes, but in large
floral and conventional designs, and
sometimes combined with the flowers,
in colors, that may decorate dish.
The patterns for the most part are
simple but striking. Among the de-
signs carried out solely in the gold,
the Oriental, the Greek and the Byzan-
tine effects predominant.
The lowered china shows the grace
full garland decoration of a happy use
Of trailing vines, with heavy border
effect. In shape, the fluted design
the fittings are widely separated-is
being greatly used.
A new ware has appeared which
will no doubt be very popular In the
odd pieces, such as sugar and creamer,
chocolate set or odd plates.

about 100 workers, today, elected
committee Of five to wait on the local
contractors to settle their differences.
The unionists were locked out by the
employers upon giving notice that
the union would strike for a wage
raise and Saturday half holiday May
i. The four contractors controlling
the local trade served notice on the
men that they would fight for the
open shop. The employers paid off
every man, yesterday, and let it be

open shop conditions would be taken
back, today. Not a union man ap
piled for work. today.
The committee of five unionists will
report to another meeting of the lock-
ed out workers, tomorrow. Carpenters
all over the State have made demands
for increased wages and Saturday half
holiday and this gave rise to the ru-

TITLE TO BASIN

City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan
expects at the meeting of the Com

ownership of the Henry street basin
Questions arising over certain rights
in the basin, brought Harbor Master
Charles H. Morris into the controver~
sy. The harbor master, doubtful OF
his rights, called in Public Works
Director NJ. A. Kenny. The latter
passed it along to City Engineer
Maurice F. McKenna, for survey of
the streets and basin. The owner
ship being still in allegiance, the mat
ter came into the ha nds of title
searcher. He found, it is unofficialiy
announced, that the city had claims
in the basin, but as there were many
legal questions to settle, the matter
was placed in the hands of the city
attorney.
AS the titles to the property go
over period of many years and many
legal questions and facts have to be
looked into, the city attorney could
not make an immediate report.
