NO Joy FOR THE COOK
But Open House at New Y. W.
C. A. Home Was a Success.
ROSES AND PRETTY GIRLS
Miss Helen M. Gould and Miss
Grace H. Dodge on the Re-
ception Committee.

The only person who was in the least
bit disappointed at the otherwise joyful
open house" held yesterday afternoon
in the National Young Women's Chris
ton Associations new home. at Lexing-
ton avenue and SEA street, was Nancy.
| the cook.
Enthroned in a scientifically complete
kitchen nine stories up. where the air is
pure she bemoans the old inconvenient
convenient kitchen at No. Gramercy
Park. where she could see the ground and
occasionally 20 out on the back porch.
But while gloom reigned in the kitchen
all the rest of the house was bright with
roses, and pretty girls delighted in show
ing visitors about.
Miss Grace H. Dodge and Miss Helen
NJ Gould received with Mrs. James s.
Cushman. Mrs. Stephen Baker. Mrs. Will
lam w. Rossiter, Mrs. John r. Mott Mrs.
Robert E. Speer, Mrs. James NJ. Speers,
Mrs. Frank Mason North and Mrs. Clar-
ence HYDE. A member or the national
hoard who was unable to be present In
the receiving line was Miss Jessie Wood
row Wilson.
While both Office force and school moved
into the new headquarters in September.
II was felt that the dedication should not
take place until the last bill for cost OF
construction had been paid. So 1t was
under these circumstances that the ma
tional board and its employed stan, the
trustees, the training school students ana
faculty and representatives from nearby
Young Women's Christian associations
gathered on Wednesday to participate In
the dedication service written for the oc-
caslon.
Ar the "open house" held yesterday
mora than two thousand visitors were
shown through the scientifically equipped
building. which houses the school and
dormltories. as well as the national Of
fees.
A room on the eleventh floor which at
tracted many visitors attention was the
beautiful living room Of the training
school. furnished by the graduates OF the
schools first four years. and familiarly
called NO. 8" in recollection OF No.
Gramercy Park, the schools first nome.
II bears on its door the old brass nu-
neral from the Gramercy Park house
There is a superb view Of Manhattan and
the East River from here and from the
twelfth story roof garden above.
On the eleventh floor the visitors were
entertained in the cafetaria, or self-serv-
Ing lunchroom. OF which the demon
strators seemed very proud. and In the
more formal dining room OF the training
school.
The architect Of the building, Dom
Barber. also planned the furniture. which
IL all stained to match the WOODWORK.
The building. which is twelve stories
high. is the largest one housing a ma
tional woman's organization. IL occupies
the northwest corner OF Lexington ave-
nue. and sd street, and the site was the
gift OF Miss Gould. The local Young
Womens Christian Association Is plan
ming to put up another building OF the
same size on the other half OF the BLOCK.

THREE-PIECE SUITS.

As the season advances more interest is
shown in three-piece suits. says 1.-THE
Dry Goods Economist" especially styles
which show a coat made Of velvet or nov
city cloth and the dress developed IN
broadcloth, peau de souris, zibeline or
similar materials. Tho coats OF these
suits are usually made in modified cut
away outline, the measurement in the
back extending half the skirt length. A
favorite design for the dresses OF these
costumes shows the long draped skirt
This drapery is usually arranged well
toward the back. although some styles
show the drapery effects toward the
front, this being formed by looping up
the side front in folds, which are caught
in with tho side seam. For this drapins
extra length is allowed In the skirt meas
urement.

Washington Irving Pupils AID

Into Full Sisterhood.

Imagine having to sit still and smile
while Zig chunks out of ones past keep
bobblng up all over the room and pro-

not every one who could meet the past so
complacently as did Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, superintendent of schools of Chi

through that ordeal as an initiation stunt.
The first warning the distinguished Wis

from any other school assembly was
when the pretty little chairman of the
day. Frances Kirschenbaum, announced:
I'VE will now hear some facts about
the early career of Ella Flagg Young"
Immediately up popped a dozen girls
demanding that Mrs. Young tell how she
began to teach school, how she was pro-
"the great school system of Chicago said
she simply must take charge Of It,"
Mrs. Young bore it all without flinching,
hut worse was TO come. There appeared
three solemn girls in cap and gown, bear
ing q huge book. They were the board of
examiners, como to test the candidate, to
see If she were qualified to be adopted
into the order as a Washington Irving

more thankful than otherwiser'
This was q poser. Mrs. Young racked

dlcious questioning. the proper answer
was achieved and the three examiners
closed their book.

KANSAS GRAIN LACKS CARS
Farmers Lose Wheat Profits
Towns Without Coal.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. !

IBy Telegraph to The Tribune
Larned, Kans., Dec. b.-The car shor-
ago in Western Kansas is serious. and IL
appears certain that tho profits Of q
bumper wheat crop will not reach the
pockets of farmers In this section.
The town Of Meade Is in worse pre-
dlcament. 1t cannot get coal, and the
residents have fallen back on the old
Indian fuel chips. Nearly every town in
western Kansas needs coal. The lack OF
timber In this region makes the situation
grave.
Nearly every grain elevator on every
branch railroad has reached its limit and
has quit buying grain within the last two
weeks. Elevators and mills on main lines
are buying grain intermittently. Farmers.
unable to sell their products. cannot pay
their creditors.
