Craig Blames P sc.
And I.R.T. for DELAY
In z New Subways
Failure to Complete Work
Not Due to Board of Esti-
mate, He Asserts

Controller Craig, in a report to the
Board OF Estimate yesterday, replied to
the charges of the Public Service Com
mission that the Estimate Board was
responsible for tho delay in the open
ing of the new Lexington and Seventh
Avenue subways He denied that the
board refused to act on the request OF
| the commission that the contract with
the lnterborough Rapid Transit Com
pany be modified to provide a $500. 900
appropriation for the completion of the
work. The matter is on the calendar
of the Board of Estimates meeting to-
day.
The Controller contends that the city
should not pay the 100000 for the
work, as the Intcrborough agreed to
include it in it's original contract with
the city out of the company's contribu-
tion Of SOS, 100000 for the new subway
system The Controller states that an
/ examination shows that there is no
foundation whatever for these charges
and suggests that the Public Service
Commission should be requested to fur
rish detailed explanation to the
Board Of Estimate and that the matter
should also be referred to the Corpora
tion Counsel, with instructions to ad-
wise the board what remedies the city
has.
The Controller points out that the
Board Of Estimate on October 5, 1917,
on the application Of the Public Service
Commission, approved an agreement
with the lnterborough by which it was
to do the work Of making the track
corrections at Times SGuara and in
Brooklyn for the new subways and to
ray for it out of its contribution
toward the cost of construction under
the original contract. This agreement
is Identical with the request now made
by the commission. he says, and no ref
crencc to the October agreement was
mage ,,si IN the recent request.
The Controller says that the real de
lay is not due to the failure of the
ln'erborough to complete the conduit
lines through West Fifty-severth
Street. The Public Service Commits
sion has permitted the Interborough to
delay this work, according to the Con-
troller, and must share the RESPONSE
bility with the transit company of de-
lay in opening the new lines, which was
set for June is. The delay in conduit
construction is enricllnC the INTERIOR
ough at least 100000 a month. the
Controller contends, in deferred inser-
est charges.

ADDS:
at can be stated on the best au-
;hority that justification for the ar

Predicts Recruiting Failure
Discussing the prospects Of recruit
ing under the arrangement of which
notice was announced N last Satut-
days proclamation, the dispatch says
shat few persons honestly believe that
the scheme will be successful. as the
atmosphere so far as the public is con-
cerned is decidedly unfavorabe to vol
untary enlistment. The correspondent
of the newspaper. however, takes the
view that some Irishmcn might be
brought to the colors by promising prl-
ority in the redistribution of land un-
der the Land Purchase Act to returned
soldiers and sailors and the dependents
of those who have served. The writer
combats the idea that this would be
bribery, and he submits information to
show that, as regards land distribution.
the men who stay home fare better
than those who have served and re-
turned.
Nationalists Only Lukewarm
Part Of the plan for voluntary re-
cruiting in Ireland the Dublin CORE
spondent OF "The Daily News" says he
learns, probably will involve the com
plete reversal of an old War Office
policy. This will mean the adoption of
immediate steps to form homogeneous
Irish brigades or Irish divisions III
which all reasonable measures will be
taken by the use of Irish emblems and
the observance of Irish customs to fos-
ter the idea of distinct nationality
within the empire.
The correspondent. however, predicts
thai Nationalist civilians will give only
lukewarm support to the plan and
thinks that most Nationalist Members
Of Parliament are hardly likely to &C
cept the invitation to appear on the
recruiting platform, although he ad-
mits some of them favor supporting
voluntary enlistment.

ETIQUETTE

To close friends who are not invited to a, wedding, it is nice to send pieces of the wedding cake packed in small white boxes; thus reminding them that although the wedding is so small as to prohibit inviting them, they were not forgotten.
 Doctor-A physician is usually on intimate and friendly terms with any family that he attends regularly; and for that reason he is likely to re- ceiye invitations to weddings which his social relations with the contract ing partes would not warrant. In such a case, even though he, attends the wedding, he is under no obligation to send a gift. His wife should al- ways be included in the invitation, whether or not she has any acquaint- ance with the families of the bride and bridegroom. Often. too, a doctor receives expensive Christmas gifts from admiring and grateful patients. These may be regarded as a sort of supplement to fee paid him and need not be returned. A doctors relation to his patrons is peculiar and in a class by itself.
 M. B.-Sealing wax is seldom used nowadays, and when it is, there should be no glue on the envelope. Otherwise the wax is superfluous.

How Princess Was Married to Jugger Yet Managed to
 Win Throne
By ELOISE HARRINGTON

The Anglo-Danish romance of Ar gentille and Havelok was a favorite with both poets and writers of prose during mediaeval times.
 The story runs that AdeTbrict was the Danish King of Norfolk at the same time that Edelsi ruled over Lindsey. The formers Queen was the sister of Edelsi, and their only child was daughter, ArgentilIe. The little princess was left an orphan, under the guardianship of her uncle, very early in life.
 King Edelsi, who had no intention of allowing, his niece to inherit the kingdom of her father, decided U marry her to a man of low birth. His choice fell upon young juggler call ed Cuheran.
 Summoning the princess to his presence he bade her make prepara- tions for her bridal. Upon learniny , the name of the bridegroom, Argen- tile wept and protested, but to no avail. The ceremony was perform ed without delay, and the proud maid en of royal birth was forced to live with her low-born husband.
 Cuheran was grieved at the unhap- piness of Argentille, and bitterly re- gretted that the King should have made him the unwilling cause of her humiliation.
 Before many days passed the prin- cess discovered that the juggler was far more kind and courteous than any of the nob1es at court, and her heart softened toward him.
 One night she dreamed that her husband was no longer the 1owly jug gler, but a gentleman of highest birth. Upon awakening, Argentille recalled that she had never question ed Cuheran as to his family or his country. So after their morning meal she said to him:
 q have a great desire to know the name of your father and of your birthplace. Do you care to gratify my curiosity?'
 Lady" Cuheran replied simply, T am the son of Grim, and was born at Brimsby."
 Much to the jugg1ers astonishment the princess answered:
 ''This day will we set out for that place to visit my father-in-law."
 Arriving at the town they learned that Grim was dead and that Cuher- an was his foster son, in reality Prince Havelok, and the heir of Gunther, an exiled King of Denmark.
 Overjoyed at this turn in his for tunes, Have1ok and Argentille set sail for Denmark to recover his realm

piping of the material. A few gathers gave a softness to the bodice above the belt. The latter was a plain strap of the pongee closed in the centre front with a rectangular nickel buckle.
 The skirt of the jumper frock was perfectly plain, save for two wing pockets which extended beyond the hip line in front.
 Next, Madame chose a blouse of cream Georgette satin to be, tried on with the brown jumper. It completely changed the character of the frock being of the tailored type. The se- were platnness of the front was re- lieved by a box pleat and a row of satin-covered bullet buttons. An Eton collar trimmed with a single row of machine stitching finished the round ed neckline. The bishop sleeves were set in without particle of fulness and turned-back cuffs completely cov- cred the tightly fitted wristbands. A tie of tobacco brown grosgrain ribbon was knotted in a small bow under the collar.
 Julie exchanged this blouse for one of ecru crepe Georgette. It was a decided contrast to the satin blouse. The front was made with a vest effect of ecru filet lace bordered with rows of handtucking. The sailor collar was edged with the lace and extended to the very end of the V-shaped neckline The full sleeves were gathered into tight wristbands with turn-backs of Georgette and filet lace.
 The last of the four blouses was of white, French organdies, daintily trimmed with nd-embroidery and Val. lace. Rows of embroidery in a fine vine design were combined with fine tucking and frills of Val. lace in trimming the front, collar and cuffs The sleeves of this model were below elbow length, which gave a certain "dress'' appearance to the blouse that the others lacked.
 I couldn't help marvelling at the complete transformation in the effect of the jumper frock when worn with a different blouse. It was almost like having four different dresses.
 "Every girl who hasn't a whole lot to spend on spring outfit ought to have a jumper frock with a selection of underbodices. They are 8 most sensible and economical garment, and nothing can equal them for smart ness. This one has turned out so sue cessfully I shall design other models in line, pique, foulard, gingham and materials of even lighter weight" said Madame, as Julie took off Miss Neil sons frock and slipped into her own.
 "Now, come with me, both of you, D she concluded. "We'd run upstairs and have a look at the new stock of materials. There's a heap to be done if we are to have frocks for all the fittings scheduled for this week.
 And on my way to the stock room I made up my mind to have a China blue jumper frock of heavy silk, if I didn't get another new frock this spring.

CLUB BUYS THRIFT 
 STAMPS

The Tuesday Afternoon Bridge Club, consisting of the following la dies: Mrs. W. L. Belknap, Jr., Mrs H. M. Clarke, Mrs. B. J. Higby, Mrs. w. P. Hutchinson, Mrs. c. l.. Mason, Mrs. H. S. Osborne, Mrs. D. P. Os- borne, Mrs A. E. Smith, Mrs. w. Van Patten-Steiger, Mrs. B. H. Walker, Mrs. c. B. Whitten, Mrs. George S. Youngs, is the latest organization that the War Savings Committee has re- ceived grateful recognition from. This club has for several years been in the habit of contributing 25 cents for each member at each afternoons play, and once or twice season using the money thus collected for a din- ner.
 Under the impulse of patriotism, inspired by the war, this club has decided to use the. funds collected from the members in the purchase Of War Savings Stamps. The committee has just made a sale of $20 worth of the stamps to this club as an initial sale, and both the club members and the committee hope that later on the
 
 ed.
 The stamps so purchased are not to be for the benefit of the club mem bers, but are to be used for putting into effect an idea suggested by MT. Henry s. Osborne, a member of the general War Savings Committee, which is that an added interest would be lent to the school campaign if a large number of the rooms could be 100 per cent. efficient in the holding of Thrift Stamps. It is obvious that in every room there are some children who cannot possibly be buyers of stamps, and this keeps the whole room back from attaining it's 100 per cent. In order that the spirit of emulation may be further increased among the school children, a fund is desired by the general committee which will just give a little help here and there-say when room has only two or three pupils who could not contribute. In this way the whole room can, be put on a 100 per cent basis, and the enthusiasm of all the pupils greatly increased and their ardor not restrained by the fact that only two or three in the room are incapable of buying Thrift Stamps so that the whole room may not reach it's 100 per cent. basis. It is also the idea that it will start an incentive to buy. among those who have not hith- erto bought.
 The War Savings Committee will reed more funds for carrying out this work, and it is earnestly hoped that other clubs and similar organizations will follow the example of the Tues day Afternoon Bridge Club and will send funds to the War Savings Com mittee for this and similar pur- poses.
 As an illustration of how far a little aid of this kind will go, the s20 contributed by the Tuesday Afternoon Bridge Club will start 80 pupils cov- ering 40 rooms where two pupils each on an average would need a stamp.

MIME CALLI-CURC|
 CAPTIvATES WITH GREAT SIN GIN 6

Not since the days of Adeiina Patti has New York become so enraptured over a, woman and her voice as has been the case with Mime. Galli-Curci, who together with Rudolph Gang, the celebrated Swiss pianist, Manuel Ber- enguer, the ffutist, and Homer Sam uels, accompanist, will join forces in what promises to be one of the grand est concert events of many a season. The following is from the New York Times of January 29, 1918: 'fGAILI-CURU THRILLS LIKE A

 "OVATION OF 20 MINUTES"
 "A Voice that Floats" t'An extraordinary feat it was to re- peat the air before the dropped cur tain, when the applause would not let the opera go on.
 At the end of it's principal demon stration it was not a woman's voice, but birds swelling throat, whether the canary in his cage singing of a lost freedom or the lark that sings at heavens gate and leaves the world hushed, still listening for more.''

HALF CENTURY OF WOMEN JURORS
 IN WYOMING

In these days when women are be- coming an increasing power in indus tries as we'll as in politics, and all men are astounded over the ''marvelously rapid strides" which the "women's movement is making. it seems cur ious to record the fact that women acted as jurors in America almost half a century. The first grand jury which included members of the weaker" sex was impaneIled at Laramie, Wo., 4S years ago today, March ', 1870. The territory of wyoming was organ ized in 1868, out of parts of Dakota, Utah and Idaho, and one of the first official acts of the new territorial government was to grant women the right to vote and hold office. Wyom- ing thus ranks as the first of the states to give full suffrage upon equal terms with men to the ladies. Colorado followed in 1893, Utah in 1896, Idaho in 1896 Washington in 1910, Califor
 mia, Arizona, Kansas and Oregon in 1912 and New York in 1917 Many other states have during the past few years granted the vote to women, and it is only a. question of time when they will be casting their ballots in every state in the Union. Australia, Tasmania. New Zealand, Iceland, Norway, Finland and the Isle of Man also have complete woman suffrage. There have been many fair jurors since that first grand jury to include women met at Laramie in 1870, and they have fully justified their claims that the judicial qualaities of woman's mind are equal to those of men.

MOLLY MOGG.

Three of the greatest bards of the eighteenth century England collab4 orated in writing ballad whick served to render immortal the name of Molly Mogg It was 152 years ago today that the fair Molly passed away, at the age of 66, having remained all her life a spinster. Her unmarried state seems difncult to account for, in considering the extravagant praise bestowed upon her charms in the bal lad of Swift, Dope and Gay. In 1726 this tuneful trio spent some time a a Nottingham tavern, called the rose. The landlord, John Mogg, had two daughters, Molly and Sally. Literary historians say that in reality it was Sally Mogg who was the cruel beauty celebrated in the ballad, tbut the wits were too far gone to distinguish. and so the honor has clung to Molly"
