odd little garnishing is a shorter edi-
ton of one on the edge Of black tat
feta founce forming the lower half Of
the white wolfe skirt and gathered on
to simulate a series Of tiny fans which
confne the fare of a second deep
flounce, similarly applied.
These little fans appear again along
the edges of the deeply turned back
self-cuffs on the wolfe sleeves. With a
magpie costume nothing is more stun
ming than a white hat. The one worn
at the Ritz-Carlton the other day with
the wolfe and taffeta frock was straw
toaue, trimmed with white grapes and
black velvet leaves. Another hat on
similar lines was in white hemp and
carried a pair of blackbirds so posed
that the tips Of their wings met high
above the back of the fiat crown.

Borough President Marks Speaks
In Favor Of Open Air Schools
Advocates New Type of Schoolhouse to Improve Health
of Teachers and Pupils-Report on Class
Room Ventilation.

In his report on oPer-air classes DR..
Ogden Woodruff says.
1T had seemed 90 me on visiting
schools In IRE spr.ng.ime tsat the chill
d-en in the regular classes were in
poorer physical condition than in the
fall Many teachers complained OF
being exhausted at the close OF the
school day and in poor health at the
end Of the year. A considerable num-
Der Of these teachers sscribed their
condition TO the artificial methods Of
ventilation employed.
Studies % air conditions in the
classrooms revealed the fact that in
most of them, as measured by present
ven;ilating standards. they were tery
good Yet the fact remained chat
teachers and children seemed TO be-
come run down during the winter.
There IS marked improvement Of
both teachers and pupils in the OPEN
air classes. Some change In habits Of
dress is necessary, especially on the
part Of the teachers.
"A thin wash waist, which 10 COM
Portable In a hot, steam-heatsd apart
nent, Is not sufficient for such a room,
and unless teachers wear flannel waists
or sweaters they will want to keep the
temperature too warm for the more
warmly clad children.
There is a tendency, I thnk, FOR
most Of US to forget that, except in cases
Of extreme poverty, the average public
school children who come from homes
where there is no heating plant are ac-
customed to dress very much more
warmly than those Of as who live in
steam-heated apartments, whers the
temperature nearly always tends 10 be
too high"
It Is interesting TO note that in
schools where a substantial lunch was
provided for the children the average
gain in weight was nearly twice that In
ether schools. In Richmond the Par
pnts' Association Of Public School 10
contributed $500 last year for food and
clothing. That's an example OF modern
mothering of all the children.
/ Four thousand children and neigh
bors will celebrate Flag Day at Public
School 4, The Bronx, to-day. The entire
school will gather in Crotona Park at
IL o'clock, and salute the flag which
will be raised on the building. In the
evening an open air concert will be
given by the Parents Association OF
the school at the Crotons Athletic
Field, Crotona Park North and Prospect
Avenue.

| 1t was Mary Antin talking, as She
rocked baca and forth in III, swing on

/ had come to talk to her about
Americaaization Day, the resurrection
Of the Fourth Of July, that has won in
q short three weeks support from coast
to coast, and found her there, her gray
eyes shining and her shock Of short
black hair crowning the delicate and
dreamy face Of the woman who has
found in America the Promised Land
and who makes of it religion.
A Dav of Welcome in Fifty Cities.
Fifty cities" she told me, "have al
ready told US that the Fourth of July
this year will be day of welcome TO
the aliens within their gates, and that
the breath of reality shall be breathed
into the creed of our people. | am
talking, not about the Constitution

chinery-but of the Declaration Of In

laration, in these days when democracies
do draw the cold tongues Of cynics, we
must burn for these new-made citizens
If they are not to miss altogether what
America is and what, perhaps, 1t meant
TO them long before they left Europe
TO come to US.
"The war has brought things home
TO us-the things that we missed do
ing. We didn't make these aliens feel
welcome. We didn't gather them to US
as brothers in the light Of our creed
that all men are created equally dear
in the sight of God, with the rights
equally sacred TO pursue life, liberty
and happiness.
"If we are shocked at the way these
millions within our gates seem to for
get their American citizenship, surely
we ourselves are to blame.

NNovING into summer cottage
M a householder found herself
short of furniture and short
OF funds at the same time. To remedy
the deficiency she fell upon the heap OF
packing boxes in which her belongings
had been shipped. She selected a
large. stout box and sawed it through
the sides evenly about four inches from
the TOP. She sawed four equal lengths
Of strong lath and nailed these stoutly
in place at each corner. Then she set
up her improvised table and nailed
some smooth pieces of board across
the top, fitting them closely together,
so that the cracks were negligible.
She sandpapered the roughness from
the legs, then painted the whole dark
green. When it was dry she tackled
white oilcloth over the top and her
kitchen table was ready for use.
The dining room table was made in
the same way Of two such tables fast
ened securely together, and third
could be added in event of extra COM
many. With the silence cloth and a
dainty white cover no one could have
GUESSED at the construction Of the
table.
Encouraged by this success, the in
yentive lady determined to contrive
some chairs. Square seats were made
with straight pieces nailed together al
right angles, pieces being fitted in the

the fault is not theirs. This case Is
not single. There was a Pole who lived
for sixteen years in a little Connect
cut town and never knew that it was
possible for HIM to acquire citizenship.
II WIS his little daughter, who hap
pencd to read a pamphlet in the public
library reading room, who broke the
news to him, joyful news tina: gave to
him a thrilling consciousness of Amer

too. shall foregather some Of the high
solemnity and the blessed eagerness
of what American citizenship should
mean"
Mary Antin Is Russian born-a Rus
sian and of the Jews; but no Pilgrim
Father no woman of 1916 ever was so
heart and bone American; ever saw
further down the long vista of democ-
racy's dream, nor held with more pas
sionate faith to living citizenship.

In the nursery they should glimpse

the Fourth of July, so it seemed to me
as I watched Mary Antin tighten her
hands and speak her faith, was ever
nearer TO 1916 than this new pro-
gramme for Independence Day.

His mother smiled, but did not
say anything. and when lunch
time came she placed the bill on
Bradley's plate with 50 cents.
Bradley's eyes fairly danced when
he saw the money and thought his
business ability had been quickly
rewarded, but with the money
there was another little bill, which
read like this:
Bradley owes mother
For being good .......S0.00
For nursing him through
his long illness with
scarlet fever ......... 90
For clothes, shoes, gloves
and playthings ........ 90
For all his meals and his

and he put his arms around his
mothers neck, put his little hand
with the So cents in hers, and said:

 The children in my class are so lonesome about you leaving them that they were all determined to write you. It is so warm here the children do not like to study. I think it must be pret- ty cold up where you are. How do you get along with the little Esquimo Do they all go to school with their fur clothes? How are all snow houses? Are you living in one" :"

This represents some of the parcel post packages that were re- covered from the wrecked Mariposa and as water washed off the address it was necessary to open packages for identification. Some of the contents are damaged while others were merely water-soaked and have since been dried out. Parties owning same are requested to call at the post office, in order that where losses were sustain ed they can be adjusted.

Last night at the Presbyterian church was presented a most unique entertainment to the departing pastor and his wife, Rev and Mrs. James Mcbride. The "Old Time Concert" was executed by about a dozen of the towns most representative talent and beautv. Old fashioned songs, dear to everyone's heart, were rendered in a masterly and characteristic manner. accompanied by the organ at which Mrs. Hedges presided in her usual spirited and artistic manner. All of which reflected great credit to the in- dustry and imagination of those in direction, and under.

Refreshments were in the form of an excellent doughnuts and coffee, served gracefully by the adies.
 It is with sincere regret that the community bids farewell to the Pres byterian Pastor and his much es- teemed wife. They have endeared thmselves to the people of Cordova and are leaving at a time when the fruit of their labor is ripe. They have been real, vital force in this and neighboring communities and it is our wish to them, God-speed and fresh laurels in new fields.

Father Corbett's Evening Talks in Eagle Hall are exciting a growing in terest in the Cordova public and elicit ing much favorable comment as the speaker confines his attention to the discussion of the great religious truths that are the common heritage of us all Having shown that the Riddle of Life" is solved by Jesus Christ who has revealed that man is created to know love and serve God in this pres ent span of life so that he will merit for himself the everlasting happiness of heaven, Father Corbett goes on to prove that by rebellion against con science man invites his own eternal ruin.
 The Evil of Sin or Mans ''War of Rebellion" is brought out in it's of fensiveness and folly in the Sting of Defeat" consequent on the final loss of Gods love necessary for hapiness of the human heart. Fear of this loss |. e. fear of hell is urged as deterrent to sin and a powerful motive to re- pentance.
