Smart little sack coats of plain black

1-cent stamp these go through the
malls just like a postcard. There
arc about $50 cards In a 10-cent
package, and they may be had at
almost an stationery or department
store.
Speaking Of spring suits, have you
thought Of making one yourself?
Why don't you try it this time and
save enough to buy yourself an ex-
ira dress? Covert cloth Is very
sensible material to use, for 1t is
eminently suited to all-round wear.
Tifty-tour-inch coverts In olive
brown or several shades of tan vary
in price from 81 TO $3.50 a yard, ac-
cording TO qua lity and weight. But
beware OF elaboration in making
such n suit, for covert Is suited to
nothing but severe simplicity. n is
particularly adapted for the belted
and Norfolk styles that have been
DEVELOPED In a number of ways.

Since this silken mandate of the Tailors'
Association has gone forth, there seems
nothing TO 1t but prepare to listen, for
Hector's silken stride and the frou frou
OF Ferdinand's footsteps. So far the
showing Of these sllken suits for the
men have been confined TO the sort "
PalD, Beach effects and summer suits OF
natural-hued shantung and pongce.
Suits of purest white silk are also
shown. and goodness knows the silken
lengths they'ii gr before the seasons
over. After all. why bar the sterner sex
from silk, They certainly have as much
right to don panties of charmeuse or
crepe de chine as the dear girls have
to attain to trouser legs OF tailored
suiting.
Striking new tailored blouses made Of
mems shirtipg in wide stripes of white
and any color. blue, green. lavender or
ferfrgs. They are severely plain, with
small turn tab collars. of white pique
and turnback solft cuffs OF tho same.
Plsin-colored linen waists on the same
order are also good. and come in water
melon pink, sand, Belgian blue. dread
nanght gray. and grass green. Linen
promises to have q revival this summer
and stunning linen froclis are evolved in
combination with heavy embroiderles
which outline the pockets and boleros
of their up-to datcness.
Gatetop bags are among the novelties
of the season. They are a sensible as
well as an attractive fashion, preventing
absolutely as they do, the possibility
of ones bag Topping open OF its own
accord or with little persuasion. and
thereby disgorsing all ones meager
riches.
The gatetop bag defies alike pick
pockets and carelessness. and does not
open unless manipulated by the sure
and deliberate fingers Of ownership.
The smartest of the gatetop bags are
made Of black taffeta and may be either
plain beaded or embroidered to suit
ones taste in the matter The metal
tops usually have an artificial or semi
precious stone in the TOP. or IL they be
plain they are engraved with mono-
gram. They are also made Of elaborate
Chinese embroidery or French brocades
for evening use.

PUPILS GALLERY
CALLED ILLEGAL
Identification Scheme Involves
Bylaw Violation, Says
WaIlstein.

According to the bylaws Of the
Board of Education the Board Of
Superintendent had no authority to
grant permission TO the Wilson Mag
azine Company to take pictures of the
school children for the identification
plan urged by John W. Davis, director
Of the Bureau Of Compulsory Educs-
ton.
This is the report sent to the Mayor
by Leonard NJ. Wallstein, Commits
sioner Of Accounts, following his In
vestigation of the affair, at Mr..
Mitchels request.
The Board of Education's request for
funds for this purpose was turned
down, Mr.. Wallstein says, during the
consideration of the final budget.
Thereafter W. Foster Hall, of the Will
son Magazine Company, Philadelphia,
charge, his company's profit to come by
selling duplicates to the school chill
dren at 10 cents a picture.
Mr.. Davis approved and brought il
up at a meeting of the Board Of Super
intendents held on June "a. The board
adopted the following:
Resolved, That the Board Of Super
intendents recommends 10 the commit
tee of special schools the approval of
the plan Of the Wilson Magazine Com
parry, of Philadelphia, for taking index
photographs of school children for
Identification purposes"
No part of this plan, the Commits
sioner saws, was submitted 10 the Board
Of Education, because Mr.. Davis did not
think its approval necessary. since the
Board Of Superintendents had approved
Of the matter Accordingly. In the last
Of September the Wilson Magazine
Company began TO take pictures at the
various schools.
Teachers canvass the classes to see
how many pupils wish to purchase the
pictures, and also collect the money for
the Wilson company. This, Commits
sioner Wallstein says, is a direct viola
ton Of the bylaw Of the Board OF
Education, which provides that:
Collections of money from pupils
for any purpose shall not be allowed
unless by permission of the Board of
Education. Canvassing for books or
other publications shall not be per-
mitted in the schools"
The Commissioner continues:
