GARDEN PARTY FR0CK
DESIGN THAT MIGHT BE COPIED
WITH GOOD RESULTS.
Most Expensive Garment In the Orig.
InaI But Could Well Be Made Of
Less Costly MateriaIs-Good
Evening Gown.

Here is a typical garden party frock
for 1914. 1t was designed for gar
den party and worn at one Of the fas-
cinating rural spots outside OF Paris,
and was a really delicious combination
of white taffeta and chiffon, blue rib
bons and small French rosebuds.
writes Lillian E. Young in the Wash
ington Star. There is no reason why,
If one wishes to economic. it might
not be developed in much less expen-
sive materials. Cotton wolfe or mar
Quisette, for instance, would take the
same trimmings beautifully.
There was knee-length skirt foun-
dation of white China silk, with the
remainder of the skirt length COM
pleted in white taffeta, and over the
China silk top were hung the two
tunic flounces of chiffon, scalloped
about their lower edges and bound
with white taffeta. A very new and
charming method Of trimming these
flounces was employed, for the small
French rosebuds were caught in scat
tered irregularity on the right side,
above the edge, while bowknot de-
sign in light blue ribbon was applied
to the wrong side and showed through
the chiffon.
The bodice was decidedly simple of
line, and, like the tunic flounces. was
made of chiffon. Elbow-length kimono
sleeves were finished with double chif
fon ruffling and a row of the small
pink roses. The V-neck had more

WHITMAN DOOMS
FIRE MARSHAL
Department of Efficiency
Also to Go-SuccesSOr
Still i'm Doubt.

Governor-elect Whitman had lunch
con with Senator Elon R. Brown at
/ the University Club yesterday. It has
been practically agreed that Senator
Brown is to be Republican leader OF
the Senate as president pro tenn. Re-
Gently he entertained at his home in
Watertown the reelected Republican
Senators and went over the legislation
programme.
II was about these things that the
Governor elect and Senator Brown
talked YESTERDAY. II may be said with
out reserve that the Department Of
Efficiency and Economy has not a
chance for existence. Part may be
transferred to the Controllers Office.
The Fire Marshsls bureau is also
doomed, and some Of its functions may
be transferred TO the Insurance De-
partment.
Just what changes will be recon-
mended in the public service and the
workmen's compensation laws have not
I been determined.
Mr.. Whitman confded TO a friend
Yesterday that he seemed about as far
/ from a solution Of his successor in the
District Attorneys Office as he was the
day he began consideration Of It. He
/ still has in mind the arguments Of in
dependent Democrats that IT would be
a good move TO name man OF that
persuasion. But he feels strongly that
such an appointment would incur the
wrath of Republican leaders. upon
whom he has TO rely to get through
his LEGISLATION, For that reason he
will probably name Republican.
Among other independent Democrats
suggested Yesterday were Samuel II

matters, who was appointed a special
commissioner by Governor Dix 20 in

WANT "P0OR RICH GIRL"
Requests for Dorothy White
more Pour Into Court.

Applications from all parts Of the
country for the custody Of ten-year-
old Dorothy Whittemore, the poor
little rich girl" of Harmony Park
fonkers, are beginning to pour into
the court Of Judge Beall, to whom the
child appealed because she feels her
grandaunt, Mrs. J. H. Keller, is cross
to her.
Dorothy was committed to her aunt's
care because her father, Reginald G.
Whittemore, a wealthy broker, had
kept her locked up in his fashionable
home by day while he was at his Office
in Manhattan. The girls relatives are
deluged with mail from persons who
have interested themselves in her well

that Dorothy has a good home with
her and would be contented were il

SECRECY SHROUDS
CANFIELD BURIAL
Atmosphere of Impenetra-
BILE Mystery Surrounds
Gamblers Home.

There was much speculation yester-
Gay as TO the cause of the secrecy
which enveloped the arrangements for
the funeral Of Richard Garfield. who
died on Friday, following an accident
in the subway the day before.
Inquirers at the Garfield home, SOC
Madison av.. were cautiously admitted
to the reception hall only after the
door had been opened a crack with the
guard chain on, and they had been
carefully scanned by a servant.
Little information could be obtained
as TO the time and place of the funeral
and the identity OF callers was re-
fused. Late last evening the report
that Mrs. Genevieve Garfield, wife OF
the dead gambler; her daughter, Mrs.
Grace Hanan, and Mrs. Hanan's son,
Rowland. had arrived in New York, was
denied by servants.
At first it was said that the funeral
would take place to-day. Later re-
porters were informed that the services
had been postponed until tomorrow.
Servants said the plans for the funeral
would be announced by the undertaken
or a lawyer Eat the proper time" The
name of the undertaken was withheld,
however.
So much secrecy seemed TO bear out
the report of a permanent separation
between Mr.. Garfield and his wife. On
the other hand. it was rumored that
the postponement until tomorrow had
been decided upon so that Mrs. Can
field might attend the services.
No one connected with Mr.. CAMEL Id
would assume responsibility for the
report that the body would be sent 70
Providence for burial, nor could any
explanation be found for the fact that
his age was given to the police, as
thirty-five years. and so recorded. while
he was really ffty-nine years old.
