linen, daintily hemstitched with
tiny monogram worked in one corner,
is still very popular. and is always in
good taste.
But every woman displays an indi-

chiefs, as she does with every part of
her toilet, and these feminine bits Of
handmade linens have touch of per-
sonality that is very apparent to lovers
OF beautiful lingerie.

GERMAN CITY is SOVEREIGN
Not Hampersd az Are American Cities
I'm Every Movement for Material I
Development. 90

One OF the addresses delivered At
the very first session Of the City Plan
congress In Philadelphia discussed the
handicaps and difficulties that have
to be met In every American city In
carrying out plans OF betterment and
Identification. Frederick g. Howe.
secretary of the National Progressive
league. showed that the fundamental
theories upon which government In
America Is based operate continually
to hinder and embarrass American
municipalities in every attempt at ma
terial development and Improvement.
In realizing plans; German cities pro
coed upon fundamental theories that
are directly opposite to those fol-
lowed In this country. and In explain
ing this difference Mr.. Howe iHdi-
Gated the extraordinary difIicuIties in
the way Of making over the Ameri-
can city.
The German city Is sovereign. It
controls the landowner and the build
or in the interest OF the community.
It % endowed with ample power for
the regulation Of both persons and
property and governs titself absolutely.
1t is not like the American cityun-
der the thumb of state legislature.
The German city has always been .
landlord on a large scale. Even Ger
man villages own forests and other
land In common which have been SO
held for centuries, and modern Ger
man cities buy and sell land or hold It
for q speculative rise in price the
same as individuals Berlin owns al
together, nearly two and one-haf
times as much land as Is included in
the municipal bounds Frankfort
owns nearly forty-nine per cent. OF all
the land within the city limits The
policy in German cities Is to acquire
large tracts and to hold them, or, II
they are sold In parcels, the city prof
Its in the business transaction. The
German city is initially In position to
do pretty much what 1t pleases in way
of betterments.
In American cities 1t Is the custom
to condemn land for particular uses.
and just SO much land is taken by
them as will be at once used, and no
more. The costly municipal improve
ments generally enhance immensely
the value of adjacent lands. From
this Increased value the American city
derives only an indirect benefit, but
the German city gets the full benefit
because 1t has taken the precaution
to own the adjacent land But wheth-
er the German city owns the adjacent
land or not, 1t owns completely the
building plans The German city IL
not obliged to grope and founder when
t undertakes to do things.
