Russian Tunics Grown Into Frocks

materials are in one tone, the iri-
descent pearls finishing the cuffless
wrists and the collarless neck are a
welcome relief.
Because the young Newport matron
who occasionally wears this frock does
nothing by halves, she completes the
costume with a modified Russian tur-
ban carrying a pair of stiff little point
ed wings, which give the headgear a
trim but not aggressively military ap-
pearance.
Less typically Russian in character,
albeit more Of frock than an over
dress. since we're its sides scanned Il
would be a complete garment, IS a
tunic in marine blue organdie, falling
In fine pleats from the shoulders and
caught in about the hips by a blue
satin broad ribbon which bowknots at
the left side. At the hem he effect IS
exceptionally Earring In comparison with
a blue charmeuse slip whose sides show
all the way 20 arms covered with
sleeves OF the same material. The
collar, also In charmeuse, is fashioned
like a sailors and runs 70 tapering
ends which knot loosely at the throat.
As vet few Of these exceedingly simple
collars are 20 be seen and one wonders
why. For they must exactly suit the

Il has practically grown into a frock
which, because Of its transparent ma
terial, must OF necessity be worn above

ing feature o. the costume. OF the

By Henrietta Rodman.

TIFTY YEARS behind neighboring
II states, and just awakening to the
pitiful status of the feeble
minded in our midst, that is our con-
dition in the words of the man who
should know, Mr.. John A. Kingsbury,
Commissioner of Charities.
On January l, 1914, the care of the
city's dependents, men, women and
children, the sick. the inebriate, the
homeless and the feeble-minded, was
intrustcd to Mr.. Kingsbury, who until
then had been general director of the
Association for Improving the Condi
tion of the Poor.
As Commissioner OF Charities Mr..
Kingsbury became responsible for the
welfare Of nearly twenty-five thousand
children-two thousand of them feeble
minded, and at that time virtually i'm
prisoned on Randall's Island.
Mr.. Kingsbury did not want to talk
yesterday Of what he found when he
first visited the homes provided on
Randall's Island by the City of New
York for its defective children.
1--WE have been fifty years behind
Massachusetts, and New Jersey in our
care of the feeble-minded, was all that
Mr. Kingsbury would say of the condi-
tions which have reused New York to
a recognition Of the condition Of its
most helpless children.
Horrors Uncovered in Report.
But you may read the official report
Of the Commissioner if you are inter
ested, if you feel at all responsible for
the treatment of these weak little
brothers and sisters of ours. The
Dinwiddie report tells that they were
beaten, exposed to infectious diseases,
and wretchedly fed; that hundreds had
no combs, or towels, or toothbrushes.
The most helpless were kept on the
top floors of the ramshackly old build
ings, and there were no systematic fire
drills. All the children were kept vir-
tually as prisoners. The pleasant green
acres Of Randall's Island were kept for
nal and precise to impress the super
fetal inspector while the children were
shut up in dingy buildings under rigid
discipline in an atmosphere Of fear, al
most without recreation.
Rr;ng Hanpiness into Detectives Lives.
"My ideals" Commissioner Kings
bury told me, "are, first, that we should
bring as much comfort and happiness
as possible into the crippled lives Of
these children. We want to bring the
Youngsters out into the sunlight

Family Of Six Finds Relief
in Readiness Of Tribune Fund
But Many Others on the East Side, Equally Needy,
Await the Assistance Which Should
Be Given to All.

Here Is one thing the Tribune Fresh
Air Fund did yesterday:
Down in Cherry Street there lives,
or did live, family of six people. A
few days ago the father was discovered
to be developing tuberculosis.
His Is one Of those cases where
prompt removal to a proper atmosphere
and good care should bring about a
speedy and complete cure. The mans
employers at once arranged to have him
admitted to a sanatorium, where he will
be properly looked after.
What to do with the wife and four
children while the husband and father
was away was the question that had to
be solved next.
The matter was brought 10 the atten-
ton Of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund on
Monday. Yesterday two Of the children
were sent to the funds Ashford Hill
Home. A third child is to follow in a
few days. The mother and an infant OF
six months are to go to relatives for a
time. Then, II it is necessary, the fund
is to find a place for them, too.
Hero are some other things the Trib-
une Fund has been asked to do, but
which still wait TO be done:
A Russian family OF seven lives in
three-room tenement in Allen Street.
The home conditions are impossible.
The father is out Of work-has been for
a long time. A young physician who
practises in the neghborhood gives his
services to the family. He says Of them:
at is no exaggeration to say that the
children Of the family are starving to
death. They are all sickly, but all they
need is food and fresh air."
In one of the neatest homes on the
East Side-also in Allen Street-an in
come of So is called upon to provide for
the needs of family Of nine people.
This family is English. The three
rooms which the family occupies are
almost shorn of furniture. Only the
barest necessities remain. The chill
dren are almost without clothing. They

minded. We should lot have 70 main
tain separate institutions in addition.
'Tf all of the feeble-minded children
and adults of the city we're cared for
in colonies where land is abundant and
cheap. Randalls Island might be made
the finest playground for children in
the world, and might be used for the
normal children from the congested
parts of the city. This, Of course, Is
only a distant dream for the future.

right conditions.
New Name, "Children's Island"
ave want to change its name to
Children's Island-we want the misera-
bio past forgotten. The city is ready
now to d. its best for these defective
children. The Mayor, the President Of
the Board of Aldermen and the Con-
troller have all put themselves on rec
ord as favoring a generous appropria-
ton to provide buildings and equip
ment.
Children Should Be Self-Supporting.
"My second ideal for the care Of the
fceble-minded is that they should be
made as nearly as possible self-sup-
porting. am convinced that with
proper teaching this can be done to
far greater extent than most people
realize.
"The lowest grade Of the feeble
minded are, Of course, utterly helpless,
but even their care is not as costly as
is generally supposed, for the middle
grade girls, the imbeciles, are able un-
der competent supervision to be their
nurses, and they love to do it. This has
been thoroughly tried and proved in
the best institutions, such as that at
Waverley, Mass, with the result that
the cost of each case is reduced about
80 per cent.
Imbeciles Work Earnestly.
"Imbecile boys are capable Of per-
forming one process in agriculture or
other industries. They work earnestly
and seem 10 be contented. This is es-
pecially true on the farm colonies
where they are best and most economi-
callv cared for. We fnd that bringing
this waste humanity to the waste land
results in the development of both.
"The problem Of the feeble-minded
appears hopelessly dark only when we
are trying to avoid looking at it. The
moment that we face it bravely with an
honest determination to help the help
less we see light.
"The imbeciles can be made partly
self-supporting, and the highest grade
feeble-minded. the morose, can under
the best conditions not only support
themselves. but contribute toward the
support of the other grades.
State Must Accept Responsibility.
"The first step toward this result
must be the acceptance by the state of
I its responsibility for the care of the
/ feeble minded, as it has accepted Its
responsibility for the care OF the In
