In the city of New York. Ia of the
large public schools have been made
into community centers. Roller-skat-
ing Kinks, employment bureaus, social
clubs;-reading rooms, lecture halls and
gymnasiums, are some of the features
of these centers. And all their attrac-
lions are not for young folks alone.
The mothers have their clubs where
they listen to experts on all subjects of
home interest, and where they ex-
change with each other views on COM
mon problems, personal experiences
and friendship. This movement for
neighborliness has become widespread.
and In many cities the new school
houses are being designed with partic-
ular attention to their prospective use
as centers of the community.

Gloveskin cloth frocks are extremely
popular in Paris this winter. They are
made very simply, with almost no trim
ming at all, the richness of the fabric
offering the distinctive quality. A
model in doeskin-colored gloveskin
cloth is trimmed with beaver, and is
accompanied by a smart black velvet
hat. A pearl gray model may be ac-
companied by black fox furs. A mid
night blue gloveskin costume is most
lovely with chinchilla.

AT HOME IN WILD PLACES
Adventures That Would DemoraIize
Ordinary Man Apparently Have
No Effect on John Muir.

John Vance Cheney, the poet, told
me this story of his longtime friend,
John Muir, William II. Handy writes
in the Outlook.
"One night, after a long absence,
Muir walked in, as he often did, look
ing like a wild man, and sat down by
my fire. He had been up in the Sier-
ras for weeks.
"'Had a beautiful storm up there
said Muir, after he got a little accus-
toned to the fire and the presence of
a fellow human being. Snow was
w%aistdeep in most places. One night
/ found a revasse where steam was
coming out of the mountain. I lay
down as close to 1t as / could and when
one side froze numb l would turn 1t
over to the steam.
ain the night I dozed and walked to
feel something warm on my face that
did not feel like steam. ] did not stir,
but opened my eyes very slowly. It
was a grizzly bear licking my facer
1.-THE geologist looked around at me
with a twinkle. Now l call that a
right friendly act of that old bear.'
"'Didn't you Eve get scared at any
thing In the woods?' I asked. He al
ways went into the wilds unarmed. In
fact, usually the only preparation he
would make for a five months trip
would be to take his hat off the hall
rack. 4
MsWell,' he confessed. once I was a
little embarrassed by fear. You know
what acres of blackberries grow up
in the mountains. They were ripe.
and / waded into a patch to help my
self. There was a scuff1ing noise Is
feet away and / saw an old grizzly also
helping himself. His method was to
reach out and rake in an armful, eat
ing berries, tops and all. That old
grizzly looked at me In a way that sug-
gested / was an intruder, a trespasser,
committing q willful misdemeanor.
az returned his look in the friendli-
est sort of way, trying to convey to
him the impression that I had no
thought Of intrusion; that I admitted
the berry patch was his. but in passing
had merely stopped to taste a mouth
full of berries-and that I was going
on In q minute.
