 STJPPLANT BAIL PARK

Passing along Clinton avenue syester- day reporter for The Farmer mar
 veled at the building operations In progress in the section on the south side of Maplewood avenue between Clinton avenue and Laurel avenue and ein the old M A. c. lot. Here many handsome homes are in the course of construction and inquiry developed the fact that H L. BlAcknan & Son have purchased the property It is situated in one of the most exclusive residential sections of the city and the firm which has acquired it deserves conmenda- ton for the public spirit displayed in Ideals of those who have built costly homes in the nedghborhood-
 About a year ago H. L. Blackman & Bon purchased the M A. c. lot and be- gan to develop it. This beautiful meadow which was formerly an ath- letfc field and which comprised several acres, flat as a floor and without a. sim gle stone or obstruction, now contains several handsome homes and others are to be built soon
 The property on the south side Of A1ap1ewood avenue, between Clinton and Laurel avenues and extending to Haze1wood avenue on the south is to
 be built up in another way, While the firm offers the M A c. lot property for sale to home builders, it is prepar- erect the sother property. Bach house will
 be of distinctive architecture. In only one respect win these houses be alike
 Bach house will be built on a line 9 feet from the inside of the sidewalk to the base of the cellar wall and each purchaser must agree that he will not remodel his property for busi1ess or a
 o-faraily house and that he will not attempt to build out over this line. The houses will also be alike in this re- lspect-that each will have every known comfort and convenience. In their effort to keep up the tone of. the Ineighborhood H. L. BIacknaan & Son
 have stipulated in, their deeds that no buildings of objectionable character shall be erected on the M. A c. lot or on the new property on which they are preparing to erect a number Of
 pretty little homes.
 The houses on the new property are to be of Colonial, Old English, Dutch and Queen Anne and other styles Of architecture Each win have ample yard space and fine lawns and shrub bery. A granoht3lfc sidewalk will be oTft11fc walks will be laid about the new houses.
 The restrictions which the firm have
 placed about this property are very pleasing to those who for years have had beautiful homes in the nefgkbor- hod. All about this property are fine homes, stately trees, beaut1fuf lawns and a. restfuI atmosphere. One feels apart from the noise and hustle of the city and at peace with the world The city Is preparing to lay a, Warrenite roadway in Clinton avenue.
 The Messrs. B1ackrnan are daily in receipt of letters from the home own CTS in that section thanking them for the attitude they are maintaining in regard to the character Of the build ings which are to be erected theres It is source of great satisfaction to other residents of the nefghborhood that the firm has placed proper re- stTdctions in the sale of the property.

Paris. April z1,@Tha news Of the capture by the Germans of Lieut. Ro- land Gaxross the famous aviator dwarfed all other news in ytlae mind of the public this morning. Garros was undoubtedly the best liked aviator in Trancs, owing to his combination Of skill, n16desty and courage. The EneWs vas received while the papers were still giving details of his most recent exploits in bringing down three enemy aerop1anes within a fort might,
 The regret at the capture of Lieut..

EVERYTHING is LACED,
AND ALL UP THE BACK
Hooks and Eyes and Button
holes Are Superseded by
Jacobs Ladder Effect.

Cynics who nod their heads deprecat-
next have new treat in store for them.
Dame Fashion has issued "laced-up-
the-back mandate. Frocks will be laced
up the back, shoes ditto, hats ditto and
cuffs ditto.
The elusive hook and eye, which has
imperiled the soul of many a good hus-
band, will give way to the intricate laces
and Hook me up, John, dear will be
replaced by Lace me up the back, pet
and have heart that you don't skip
any"
From the top of her head to the tip of
her heels, milady, who is in good style
WILL be laced UP the back. Beginning at
the crown of her hat the ribbon stream
ers are laced down over the brim. Where
these end, more lacing starts at the neck
of the frock, the adjoining sides of which
are buttonholed and held together with
taffeta ribbons, the same arrangement
being strung through the cuffs from wrist
to elbow The shoes fastened in the rear
with little tassels waving in the breeze
complete the ensemble and make the back
of milady resemble nothing so much as
q Jacobs ladder.
Feminine faddists, however, who greeted
the new costume with joyful emotions,
admit that 1t has one serious disadvan-
tage. 1t requires either a lady's maid or
a self-sacrificing husband. No woman,
even though she be as elastic as boa
constructor. could ever wriggle into the
new frocl without Interior aid. Never
theless, nothing is impossible, and at the
shop where these frocks were on view
II is said that the entire shipment Of
them was disposed of In one day.

PATERSON, N. j., May THE biggest
throng of BILLY" Sundays campaign to-
day is crowding the tabernacle waiting
patiently for the evangelist to open up
on the sins of society in his famous SER

Hundreds are in the city from New
York, Jersey City, Newark and other
large cities within striking distance OF
Paterson. Society women from Montclalr
and the Oranges are here, prepared. 1t
is said, to hit the trail when BILLY"
calls. 1t Is understood that 100 of the
best-known women in the East will pro-
fess conversion at the tabernacle They
wanted to do so at the Wells home in
Montclair and the Watts Cooke home
here but Billy" instead of giving the
invitation, begged the elite to come to
the tabernacle and there set the less for
tunate members of society an example.

this morning and went through the two
most modern silk mills in Paterson. The
operatives bending over their looms
