Inasmuch as the plain tailored suit is
garment of perennial popularity. the
woman whose wardrobe holds one should
in these days of fabric scarcity and high
prices take just as good care as possible
of her suit. She should provide charming
new accessories for it. The fact cannot
be too strongly or too frequently reiterated
that accessories or the lack of them may
make or mar womans appearance. De-
tachable, washable collars and cuffs
should never be worn the second time.

PLANS RETAINING WALLS
AT MERIDIAN HILL PARK
Contract Let by Col. Ridley for Con-
struction at Main Entrance
to Grounds.

Col. Ridley. engineer officer in charge
of public buildings and grounds. has
contracted with John J. Farley of this
city for construction of high retaining
walls at the main entrance to Meridian
Hill Park. That entrance is on the 18th
street side of the park nearly opposite
the line of Belmont street.
The walls will be made of reinforced
concrete. similar to the sections already
completed. The new work will COM
plete the high retaining wall on the
10th street side to the southern line of
the high ground. marking the limit of
the proposed plaza extending across the
brow of the hill to 18th street
The bid of Mr.. Farley for the work in
view was $72.700. That amount is in
excess of the funds available. The con-
tract, therefore. is limited, for the pres
ent, to the construction of the high re-
tanning walls at the main entrance.

Of Interest TO Women
BY ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE wearing of
the waistcoat is backed up by so many
reasons that one is not amazed at its
success.
1t serves as substitute for a blouse;
it fills in the hiatus between the fronts
of a narrow. short coat: it gives the
fiat. straight line from collar bone to
waist that seems to be essential to a
successful silhouette.
There is hue and cry against the
white wash waist whenever warm
weather comes in. The battle for and
against it sways backward and for
ward, without any decision. Whether
or not it reaches the high pinnacle of
fashion, it never goes far down. 1t is
always desirable to maintain a ward
robe without it. and therefore its de-
signs continue to improve its build and
change it's trifling accessories.
Yet, with a thousand white blouses
staring one in the face from counters
and shelves. the fact is that the waist
coat is preferred.
It Eliminates Blouses.
The majority of women are con-
sciouS of the fact that the laundry is
one of their expenses of the hot wealth
er season. To economic. therefore,
one must think out a scheme by which
quantities of white starch clothes are
eliminated.
1t is along the path of this scheming
that the shirt waist finds itself defeated
and the waistcoat finds itself promoted
to power. 1t is attached to a coat or to
the fronts of an open blouse and can be
worn for days without removal. 1t has
no collar to be soiled, no sleeves to be
crushed. no cuffs to be rumpled. 1t is,
therefore. the superior of the shirt
q G hi n ISr fvnf oolyN
In those old careless times when
women took off their coats in restau-
rants. theaters and in the house, the
shirt waist was a thing of beauty. of
joy to the possessor and was fashion
ed from infinite varieties of handi-
work, but today. women wear it in the
same fashion that a man wears his
shirt. 1t is used to protect the coat
from moisture and to form a cool lay
err of material between the flesh and
the cloth.
AS such. it is cut on the simplest
lines and reduced to the slimmest pro-
portions. AS it's glory has departed, one
waistcoat is regarded as an agree
able substitute.
Blue and White Pique.
Throughout the late winter and early
spring the separate and the attached
waistcoats were as fanciful as sport
coats. They ran the gamut of brilliant
colors; they were as violently checked
as the stage waist worn by the bound
err or the race track man: they were of
the red that is not allowed in pastures.
But. as the warm weather increased.
the waistcoat became dead white and

Harry Wardell
Passed Away.
Was A Member Of The
Bartenders' Union.

Harry Wardell died at 6 o'clock Sat-
urday morning of heart disease at his
home, IL South Front street. He had
been i'll only few days and the sud-
denness of his death came as a great
shock to his many friends.
He had been resident of this city
about fifteen years. He was staunch
member of the Bartenders' union, al
ways taking active part in its affairs.
He was also a member of Hamilton
Moose, and the West Side Mutual Aid
Society.
Brother Wardell is survived by the
widow to whom the sincerest SYM
pathy is extended in the loss of her
husband. Besides the widow Of de-
ceased there are many relatives and
friends left to mourn his loss.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon with Rev. G. S. Gerhold
officiating. The large attendance at
the funeral services and the many
who called at the house of mourning
on Sunday afternoon and evening to
view the remains attested to the pop
ularity of Brother Wardell.

when it was learned that Director of
Public Safety Grevey, had handed our
old friend BILL" Yarnell his pass
ports the other day. Many thought
that the city was making this sacri-
flee to aid the war department be-
cause of "Bill's" we'll known military
ability, for "Bill,' as everyone knows,
is a General or Major, or Cor
poral or something like that, but they
were wrong in their conjectures, for
it is said that BILL" has laid in a
big stock of coal, sleds and wheel
barrows and is figuring on going into
this sort of business. "Bill" always
played heavy with the employers and
the big guns as against the working
man, that was because of his military
standing, and don't be surprised if
you see him doing guard duty some
where in Hamilton" Good luck,
"Bill."

When ready to make purchase
brother, look up the advertisers in
the Press, your spokesman and cham
pion. If you never find the ad of the
store you contemplate patronizing,
you can rest assured it is not because
the proprietor or manager of that
store hasn't been solicited, but be-
cause he is one of those men who
havn,t any use for a union man other
than the dollar he gets out of him
and hasn't any use whatever for a
labor paper. He is one of those who
are ever ready to condem you but is
afraid to do so openly because of the
effect it may have on his cash drawer.
All the love this fellow has for you
is wrapped up in the dollars in your
pocket. Think this over brother, pat
