THE TANK or THE DAY.

4 settlement near Central Park for no
other purpose than tho study OF conditions
among the rich waA the serious suggestion
of James Spcycr. tho New York banker at
the twcnty-hfth annual meeting Of tho Uni
vcrsily Settlement. which IS tho oldest
reighborhood guild in America. Mr. spcyer,
according to "Tho Survey" said. Perhaps
workers there would find that while tho
East Side families are too large tho up
town families are too small for real happi-
ness. and that whilo the East Side boy
and girl get into trouble because they do
rot have enough opportunity for play and
amusement tho uptown boy and girl get
into trouble because they have too much
Of such opportunity. Perhaps. also, they
would find that while the East side boy IS
too much I'm the streets the uptown boy Is
not enough I'm tho streets and does not learn
to appreciate other boys"

But we're having too much of this thing,

Remember remember
How all through December
It was so uucommonly hot?
We thought, with some reason.
That winter this season
Had somehow been forgot
So lets all join together
To rail at tho weather,
And all our dlscomforts unfold,
For somehow tho present
j. never quite pleasant
It's always too hot or too cold

After the hobble skirt, II Is now tho turn
OF tho modern hat to be abused by Paris
mllliners on the ground of unemployment
caused by present hat fashions Hats arc
so plain nowadays. so little trimmed, and
the shapes demand so little work that, ac-
cordng to the Paris Chamber Of Fashions,
"A large number Of workgirls are at present
idle. AS the result Of rigorous rules pro-
hfbiting women from wearing large hats I'm
the theatres, elegant Parisiennes are now
forced 10 leave their hats in the cloakroom
Thus, II f. pointed out. the woman Of
fashion has no longer any object in order
ing a new hat for every place she goes TO,
since 1t cannot be worn in the auditorium.
Motoring and the growing popularity OF
golf and other sports in france arc also
responsible for the present crisis IN the hat
trade.

4 Berlin letter says: The American in
vasion f. constantly before us. German
hotels and places Of amusement have long
known OF the liberality and the desire to
have the best al any price on the part OF
the children of Uncle Sam-many of whose
parents were our own people. Books have
been written on the subject and nothing
new can be said until some pew American
ism makes its appearance. This has come
to us in the form Of chewing gum. We
had known Of IL before, but only at dis
lance. Now it is here As habit, cultivated
by people who think padded coats are
smart who go on tho street and in auto
mobiles without hats and who think there
10 no sport like baseball. Is 1t only pass
