When the ornate frockS OF this ma.
terial appeared in March, most women
thought they were not as good looking
as those of silk or serge, but q month1
experience with them seems to -h1vV-'
changed their opinion.
They are admirable for all manner Of
sport use. because they cling to the
figure and do not pull apart at the
waist line, a defect which all sport
lovers try to overcome. The peplum
blouse with its twisting sash, for this
reason, has taken the place of the
white shirt waist that has served two
decades of athletic women.
When we read in the cables from
Paris that this garment has disappeared
as a first fashion. we have. our own
opinion thatf will be retained in this
country for years to come on account Of
it's entire comfort in sports. 1t was not
originated for that purpose in Paris,
and it is not easy to tell whether she
took the oriental shirt or the American
middle blouse as her inspiration. She
improved on the latter by adding the
sash to girdle the hips. and by that one
trick she gave America garment
which she was slow to accept, but
which she will be equally slow to re.
linquish.
It is never possible. however, to be
as comfortable in a TFo-piece garment
as in one that extekds from shoulders
to ankles and Is neGar In Danger OF
separating in the middje: therefore, the
introduction of the pfiable jersey Into.
the realm Of one-piece frocks has been.
a good experiment az far as we are con-
cerned, for we use our arms as ffeHlXS
as windmill does, and we do not Ned
to be athletic to do 1t.
Even IL we do elect to dress in sober
fabrics later this season there is no.
desire to dim the brilliancy Of the bead.
ed ornaments which are to go on frocks,- :
wraps, blouses. shoes and sunshades.
Dinner gowns Of yellow satin have
huge oranges beaded at waist and hem:
frocks of black satin have vines Of blue
and pink beads running along the.
edges; and wraps of horizon blue taft:
feta are adorned with figures that Took
like pumpkins in green leaves done in /.
fine beads.

These founces are used after the man f.
ner of the house of Callot. They are
draped over the shoulders, hanging over,

The revival of everything Spanish in (,

Of the bo1ero. as well as the short Eton'i
jacket, gives one chance to use lace
above the waist line as well as below

covered by a straight jacket of the :
same lace used in the flounce: and the
Paris dressmakers go still further into
the realm of Spanish dress by adding a
red. red rose at the front of the waist
line.

Voters Still Shy
At Registering
Apathy Reduces Figures
Far Below Those of Last
Municipal Campaign

To equal the figures of 1915, the last
municipal election, il will be neces-
sary for 1926 voters TO register to-
day and tomorrow. Registrations yes
terdey, the fourth day, were s6,l9l, a
decrease of 1888 from those OF
Wednesday. The total registration to
date is 3S0,337, as against 667,623 for
1918, when there were only four days
to sign the rolls.
Yesterdays figures showed an in
crease of 2,l27 over the figures for the
fourth day of last year, but the total
for the four days in 1916 was 7O.272
higher than for the same period this
year. All the boroughs except Man
haitian shared in yesterdays increase.
This borough was behind the 1916 tg'
ures by 54S.
Manhattan, too, is further behind
than the other boroughs in the com
parison of this years and 1875 fig
ures. There are 12l $40 needed TO meet
the registration Of 1918. Brooklyn, a
close second to Manhattan. needs 1922
447; The Bronx lacks 1908; Queens,
25.262, and Richmond, 9,0l5.

Six, on Probation for Year, Are Legally
Taken Into Family

Mr.. and Mrs. Finley J. Shepard, it
was learned last night, have formally
adopted two little girls, to grow up as
sisters to Finley J. Shepard, jr., who
before he became a member Of the
family through legal procedure two
years and half ago was John Doe

There will be no strangeness in this
new relationship between the chill

and a half years old, and o. Margaret,
six. were guests in the Shepard homes
at Tarrytown ind $40 Fifth Avenue
for more than year before they at

Union League Club
Endorses Mitchell
And Fusion icket
Resolution. Put to Vote by
Charles E. Hughes. Passe.
Unanimously

The Union League Club last night
Endorsed Mayor Mitchell for reelection.
A resolution TO that effect was adopted
at an enthusiastic meeting which
packed the large assembly room OF the
club and left many standing. 1t was
the largest meeting held at the club
in years.
There was no debate on the resolu-
ton which was offered by Reuben
Leslie Maynard, chairman Of the clubs
committee on political reform. It was
seconded by William Hamlin Childs,
chairman Of the Fusion Committee Of
1917. When the resolution passed the
cheering could be heard outside on
Fifth Avenue.
The name Of William NJ. Bennett. the
Republican nominee for Mayor was
mentioned several times in the speeches
made, but 1t did not appear in the
resolution. although his candidacy was
referred to. Charles +. Hughes, presi-
dent of the club, presided, and put the
Mitchell resolution to a vote. The reso-
luton reads:
Whereas, In the candidacy Of John
Purroy Mitchell for Mayor there is pre-
scented not only the square issue of
honest, intelligent, non partisan ad-
ministration against the demands of
partisanship and craftsmanship, but
also the square issue Of unwavering
and energetic cooperation Of the city
government with the Federal admins
tration in the conduct of the war and
the suppression of sedition, in contrast
with insidious efforts to make political
capital with slackers and obstruction
lists, and
Whereas, The Republican party is
committed TO the principle of mum
cipal non-partisanship, has embodied
that principle in the. state constitution,
and by statute has absolved loyal par
, tisans from all obligation to vote party
tickets in municipal elections;
Resolved, That the Union League
Club indorses the candidacy of John
Purroy Mitchell and his associates on
the Fusion ticket, and urges all Re-
publicans, in loyalty to their declared
principles Of -partisanship in mu-
nicipal affairs, to WORK and TO vote for
Mr.. Mitchell and his fellow candidates,
to the end { New York may con-
tinue to have honest and efficient gov
eminent, and that the open and secret
enemies of our country may learn that
New York City stands unquestionably
loyal 10 the Federal government in the
prosecution OF the war"

Bennett Attacks Mayor
On Fad Expenditures
Republican Candidate De-
clares Hylan Runs With
"Fraudulent Nominees"

William NJ. Bennett, candidate for
Mayor on the Republican ticket, ad-
dressed two meetings in Brooklyn last
night One Of them was at the John
X. Neal Club, 81 Harmon Street, and
the other at the Atlantic Republican
Club, Sixty-seventh Street, near New
Utrecht Avenue. At the former MIR.
Bennett arrived earlier than had been
expected and had TO wait few min
utes for an audience.
Mr.. Bennett reminded his hearers
that several Brooklyn improvements
had been postponed because OF lack Of
money. lie went on:
Mayor Mitchell said the city's pres
ent unencumbered margin of debt limit
i almost resitate TO disclose il. but
secured these figures from Controller
Prendergast over the telephone Just be-
fore coming here's 100000 or 49,
100000.
THE fact that the city is so close
to its debt limit is the great scandal
of Mayor Mitchel's administration"
Mayor Mitchell, Mr.. Bennett added,
had spent money extravagantly and on
fads that should have been devoted to
necessities. The New York County
Court House and the Schoharie water
shed expenditures, begun even before
the completion Of the Catskill Aque-
duct, were examples. he said.
Mr.. Bennett declared John +. Hylan
was running on the ticket with men
who had obtained their places by fraud
The Democratic primaries. which de-
feated Bird S. Coler in Brooklyn and
Thomas f. Rush in Manhattan. were
as fraudulent as those at which Mayor
Mitchell was nominated. he said.

interested in children. We have
them and have gone into each case
thoroughly Some Of our friends have
adopted children, occasionally very
quickly, and have been exceedingly sue
cessful But we have always chosen
our little ones with great care.
Late in 1915 Finley, jr., shook him
self free from the name of John Doe,
l04," and all that that signified, and
became heir to the millions possessed
By both his new parents.
The origin of the child was not
known. He had been abandoned on the
steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral one
night and had been sent from New
York institution to st. Chrstopher's
Home, at Dobbs Ferry. It was there
that the Shepards first saw him and
became attracted to him.
For more than year before his
adoption, he visited the Shepard home
here and at Tarrytown. In February
OF 1915 he came to the city to visit the
Shepards, was stricken with chicken
pox in their home, and has remained
with them ever since. He was not
legally adopted. however, until nine
months later.

Mayor Answers Cult
With the assertion that some can
didates either have inability or aver
sion to answering questions, but l
have not" the Mayor yesterday re-
piled in detail TO list of fourteen
questions propounded by the Humani-
tartan Cult and published as an ac-
vertisement in yesterdays papers.
The Mayor addressed Letter TO
Misha Applebaum. founder and leader
Of the cult. The questions covered
the field Of Americanism, pacifsm, SOL
der insurance, child welfare work,
convict labor. public employment, tan
alton, full time in the schools and
other municipal reforms.
To all the fourteen questions the
Mayor said he could answer yes that
he agreed with the Cult. He pointed
out the following:
"My position with respect to the
vigorous conduct of this war BY the
United States and the support OF gov
eminent by all Of our citizens is TOO
well known TO require emphasis. My
attitude toward the support of soldiers
and sailors, evidenced by the action OF
the city in paying all municipal en-
ployes enlisted the difference between
the city salary and the Federal pay,
is also we'll known to every one. l
supported the soldiers insurance bill
when it was before Congress by direct
appeal to our Congressman, and am
in favor Of living pensions.
81 believe in the activity Of govern
ment for the relief of unemp' oyment.
This is a problem much wider even
than the state. Under conditions of
unemployment, 1t is wise for the city
to accelerate necessary public works.
II Is never sound for the city to under
take unnecessary public works.
