PLAYGROUND VS. TRAGEDY


From the Amerious Times Record
er We gather the saddest note of tn
death of a little fellow in the street
where he was playing-Tun down b,
the everyday traffic of the bus
street. Commenting on this TRACED
the editor says:

lie playground being put under
way by the various clubs of the
city. And the hearts of his hear

yesterday morning were touched by
superintendent Mathis when he
told of the death of the little boy
playing on the streets Of Ameri-
Gus because he had no other place
to play, and neither he nor the

VI is easy to look smart when one
q trips the light fantastic on skates
if one is privileged to wear such an
attractively novel gillette as the
sketch illustrates, which is accom-
panied by snug round turban to
match. Or tam o'shanter may be
worn instead. These novelties are
featured in frizette de laine and other
of the novelty knit wool fabrics, any
of which may be bought by the yard
and fashioned into a gillett, like this
to be worn for sports or under a
coat. In this model the head slips
through the neck, the back reaching
to the waist and fastening to the sides
of the front, which are gathered into
two or three tucks for slight fulness
over the bust.
This is, of course, an evolution of
the sleeveless sweater which was
found so useful last season and our
patiently knitting 'great-grandmoth-
ers never dreamed of the variety of
garments which we would wear to-
day of knitted wool-coats, capes
and entire suits-all made possible
