Masculine Dress for Women

To tire Editor Of The Star:
read in The Star Of. the ARREST OF a
Young girl who was dressed as boy
and who was escorting girls to respecta-
BILE places Of amusement In Washington,
and that the "matron Of a house OF deten-
ton compelled her to put on clothes ike
other girls" protest against such treat
ment. She had right to dress as she
did and it was a misdemeanor to arrest
her when she was doing no wrong. And
II was a misdemeanor on the part OF the
matron to compel her to put on other
clothes than her own.
II she had committed some crime, no
matter how she was dressed, l should
make no complaint, but the whole affair
was without warrant. She had as much
right to escort girls as have boys to do
SO. and such girls were safe IN her
charge; and il more girls would dress
as she, dressed and be escorts OF helpless
~ dressed girls their morals would De
better.
In YOUR same Star I read of the open
ing Of a store where the pantaloon skirt
would be exhibited on q live model, ana
think. it. would have been no more a
mark OF interference with the right OF
women to attend to their own method
OF dressing II the model had been ar
rested as we'll as tho young girl.

TREES IN POTOMAC PARK.
Row of Shade Makers Along Steam
Railway Embankment.

In following out the plans for the I'M
provement of Potomac Park row of
shade trees was last week set out along
the steam railroad embankment from
the railroad bridge to the tidal basin
outlet. When these trees are grown they
viii hide the unsightly embankment from
sight and add much to the beauty Of the
park.
The trees, which are of a quick-growing
variety, are planted about fifteen feet
apart and their branches will touch. max
ing a close wall of green in the summer
months. They were planted Tuesday last,
and Thursday morning after the heavy
gale they were all lying at an angle of
45 degrees against the embankment and
this necessitated another visit by the
arborculturists to replace them in proper
position.

10 the Editor OF The Star

We who live at 4O1 B street northeast,
whence emanated the initiative of this
latest revival Of interest in the children
of the street, would like to express
through The Star our high appreciation
Of your editorial utterances concerning
children and parents In your issue Of
Saturday, March Is. 1911. an editorial
which Is establishing the referendum
among the fathers and mothers in Wash
ington. AS to the recall, that will take
care Of itself.
We are agreed that the editorial is a
classic in it's line; that it touches up
in luminous style nearly all the essen
ttal points in this important theme, and
that its grasp of the subject, as a
whole, is q mastery one. This jury is
composed Of thinkers seventy years
young and more, whose activities from
early youth have found exercise in this
sphere Of which children and parents oc-
cupy the center.
Permit us in this connection to remind
the readers Of The Star that the articles
alluded to as complaints to the Com
missioners and to the neighborhood cit
liens association of the disorderly con-
duct of children in the Streets" dis
tinctly limited the offenders to a band
of about thirty and limited the families
represented in this band to about fifteen
parental obligations were always full
filled we would live under nearly ideal
conditions: that we would have no rea-
son for invoking the power of the police;
that there would be no marauding bands
to distress us.
Permit us, further, to call attention to
a remedy proposed in these articles for
the wrongs complained of. 1t was out
lined in words as follows:
1T Is one of the most simple, natural
and constructive propositions. Engage
for this section-and this is but a type
Of many sections-a strong motherly
| woman to take charge of this band on
the street. The case calls not for sup
preston, but supervision. Let this moth
erly, practical woman acQuaint herself
with the father and mother Of each OF
the units in this band aggregation, and
| win the confidence of both parents and
children, as she very soon will. Her
services we will find to be a balm for
| many woes. They will have a most
salutary influence In every home, and be
of far-reaching effect
In this suggestion we had in mind the
very thoughts so admirably expressed
in The Star editorial, adjuring the IA
dren, to observe the poets "Children's
Hour" to improve every opportunity to
teach the young ideas how to shoot
Allow us to say, in closing. that we
have added Waugh Church and it's Sun
day school management to our list men,
orialized in behalf Of the neglected chill
dren of the street, and have assured
these good people that I'VE work. pray
and hope for an end to this rule of the
mob, and to establish the reign of gentle
! manners" S. w. RUSSELL.
