MADISON SQUARE
GARDEN FOR SALE
Big Amusement Place May
Soon BE Torn Down.

New York, Jan. Advertisements
were published to-day Offering to sell
Madison Square Garden for S. 500. 600 The
directors of the corporation controlling
that immense place of amusement say
they have carried the property twenty
one years chiefly for the benefit of the
public. and that if the enterprise is to
go on younger men will have to put
their shoulders to the wheel.
J. P. Morgan. Charles Lanier. and
James T. Woodward are the surviving
incorporators of the corporation. Since
the summer of 1890. when the new Madi-
son Square Garden was thrown open.
these incorporatorS have died: D. o.
Mills, Charles Crocker, Alfred s. Darling.
Adrian Islin, Cornelius Fellows. Edward
D. Adams. William c. CULVER, and
George s Bowdoin.
In the event of the garden being pur-
down. there will be no amphitheater in
the greater city suitable for horse shows.
political conventions. and the proper CEN
ter of indoor circuSes and events such
as bicycle races.
From an investment point of view, the
chief fault with the garden was its
fiuctuating income. The restaurant could
not be run at a profit because of the
variable entertainment in the garden.
The roof garden never paid because of
its location, off Broadway and below the
theater zone. The theater was Il failure
for the same reason. while the concert
hall was not a steady revenue producer
elsewhere in the city.

QUAKER STYLES ARE POPULAR.
Apron. Cap. and Fichu Seen with
New Costumes.

The flmy. straight and narrow aprons
and close little caps of the Quaker maid
have a quaint duplicate in many of the
new costumes of the season.
In London these Quaker gowns are
especially popular. and many of the
frocks which are coming to this country
for early spring wear have even the
fichu which lends so demure and yet SO
fetching a finish to a gown.
The Quaker gown is by no means linn
tied to the grayS beloved of the settlers
of the Quaker City, for they come in blue
and cherry color and old rose, with
touches of the same colorS on the filmy
lace caps which are intended to be worn
with them in the house.
Sometimes the fichu is soft and plain
and is crossed surplice fashion and
tucked into the belt. while other times it
is befrilled and elaborate and comes
down almost to the knees, forming itself
the little apron which so many Of the
costumes boast.
The V-shaped neck formed by the fichu
trimming is even more becoming than
the Dutch neck, which has been in favor
for SO long, and it is probable that all
the spring and summer frocks will have
the neck finished in some semblance of
this pretty style.
On the more elaborate afternoon and
evening frocks born of the Quaker era
the apron is superseded by lace panel
in the front of the skirt, while draped
folds of lace are used over the shoulders
of the bodice and finished with rosettes
or jeweled buckles at the waist line.

SUGGESTIONS
FOR ALL DAY THURSDAY
By DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD.

There is no excuse for any one
man or mountaineering shoes which
are shabby or run down at the heels,
when new ones can be bought now at
such reductions. 1t is wonderful what
difference ones footwear makes in
the general appearance and also in
ones feelings. Especially is the for
mer true in regard to the fair sex.
many of whom care nothing for the
approval Of their kind, but dress to
find favor in the eyes of masculine
admirers. If these same women knew
that men notice wOmans foot usual
ly long before they see the latest
Partisan creation in the gown or hat
she wears. they would look to it that
their shoes are always trim and neat.
1t seems as if all women would do
this anyhow. but they do not Haven't
you often noticed pretty girl dressed
IN the height of fashion. whose shoes
sadly needed shine, or who walked
one-sided because her shoes had
twisted or had only half heel
apiece? 1t is negligence or rank
carelessness usually, and disgusts a
man quicker than anything / know
Of Several of the best shops in town
are now advertising hiGh-class foot
wear for about half price-among the
nobbiest styles are some marked s. IS
in shop near Fourteenth in F. street,
ana which include the smart black
satins. with patent feathers, gun
metals. and other fashionable feathers
selling regularly from $ up.
Do you need a new handbag to
take the place of the old style shah
by one you've carried for a year or
two? Well. take a look at those which
are marked at 81 in a department
store in G street, near Eleventh.
They are mostly of black leather,
some of them lined with purple cord
ed silk, and are the new shapes for
spring. They are bargains at that
price.
The newest ideas in ornaments for
dancing or evening slippers are
shown in a novelty jewelry store near
the corner of Thirteenth and +
streets. They are nearly all in
platinum effects, brialliant with
rhinestone settings, and include bow
knots. buckles in all sorts of pretty
shapes, and many other novelties
marked at popular prices.
The Washington herald., 1911-01-26

A photograph which has attracted
the attention of almost every person
in the thrOngs which have patrolled
r street for "a couple of days is a
magnificent iash-light picture of the
big ball given under the auspices of
the Southern Relief Society at the
New Willard on Monday night.
This was taken by well-known
photographer, whose studio is located
near Thirteenth street. and who is
so popular with official and diplo-
matte circles that if he were in
land of kings and queens instead of
a democratic country he might be
called in common parlance the court
photographer" The picture now eX-
hitited is wonderful because of the
fine likenesses it portrays of so
many people at once it having been
estimated that about LOO guests
attended the ball. Each face stands
out in striking relief. and every
guest who was present on this auspi-
cious occasion. when. amidst a setting
of pine trees and SnilaX from the
South, distinguished guests danced to
the tune of Dixie will want to own
the picture as a memorable souvenir.
1t may be had in the full size,
which measures forty inches, and
costs so. or one which is only
twenty-five inches wide. for $50.
The successful careers of a few
ready-to-wear shops out of the many
engaged in this line of business are
more often due to the fact that they
not only buy well-made suits. but they
keep either expert women filters or
men tailors to do the alteration work.
For there are comparatively few wO-
men who can wear a ready-made suit
without having it altered in some way.
The proprietor of women's shop in
G street, between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets. pays attention first
to the tailors who make the suits he
orders. and then keeps a first-class
man tailor in his fitting room to in
sure their being acceptable when al
tered.
Owing to the lateness of the season,
some smart suits valued at $50 are
offered here now for s1i.5O. If you buy
one of these you will have the same
attention from the filter that you
would get in selecting a garment
priced at 800.
