TIME possibilities for street adorn-
ment through the Identification
of the elevated railroad struc-
ture in Cathedral Parkway, as
suggested by Louis Keller of the Social
Register in an interview in THE SUN,
have aroused general interest. The
opinion has been expressed that Mrs.
Peter Cooper Hewitt's decision to build
a new home at Cathedral Parkway and
Lenox avenue. overlooking Central
Park, in the hope that this may eventu-
ally be made one of the most beautiful
avenues in the world, gives the city an
uncommon opportunity to work for the
systematic adornment Of given neigh
borhood along businesslike lines.
I'VE are constantly excusing our neg
lect of certain districts of this city on
he ground that they came into existence
when the city was very young and
were permitted to spring up haphazard
without regard to their effect on the
eye" said a New Yorker who returned
recently from a European trip. IF we
overlook the opportunity now pre-
scented we will be able to offer no such
excuse in the future. We should treat
this Cathedral Parkway neighborhood
as new community and map out
plan of action in the very beginning.
Much of the aesthetic charm of Paris
lies in the fact that the French people
understand the principle of neighbor-
hood in architecture and have demon
strated both It's practical and its artis-
| tic value Most modern buildings In
Paris have definite architectural
value.
Mrs. Hewitt with a discrimination
that merits emulation has planned
house exactly fitted to its peculiar en-
vironment. She purposes building 1t on
terrace with beautiful grounds and
gardens-an Ideal arrangement for q
property overlooking the park. The
municipality probably would not feel
justified In regulating by ordinance the

es should not make her coats also.
The day Of the notched tailored collar
and reyer is practically past except

garments. With little care a coat
may be turned out at home quite as
satisfactorily as if made by tailor.
This design. 1889, is excellent for
serge, cloth. MORE or any favored
suiting material! .n
In cutting coat greater care must
be taken, perhaps. than with any 9th
er garment to see that the pattern is
placed properly on the material. The
perforations showing the straight of
the material should be followed i'm
plicitly for if the grain of the materi-
al does not run in the right direction
the coat will never fit as it should;
the fronts will fall apart when it is
unbuttonel. and there will be various
other little annoying defects that
mark the garment homemade" In
stitching the seams begin one at the
top and stitch down. the correspond
ing seam must be started at the bot
tom and stitched up: this will pre-
vent any twist which might otherwise
occur.
