step, and one of considerable Inn

many places. of the much-discussed
American billboard was taken in At
lantic City when the National Asso-
citation Of Real Estate boards agreed
in condemnation Of this form Of OUT
door advertising, without n dissenting
voice among the 1000 delegates. This
sweeping agreement followed an adj
dress by the president Of the Chicago
Municipal Art league, in which he de-
clared that the advertising billboard
is now generally recognized as one OF
the leading nuisances in the home life
of American cities. The case against
"those purveyors of information to an
unwilling public that line so many OF
our public streets" has ceased to be
one of esthetics and become matter
of practical business concern to a large
group Of very practical men because
they lower real estate values. And,
with the campaign against them rein
forced by real estate dealers all over
the country, the billboard may well
tremble on It's often unstable fOunda-
tons for It's future existence.-Chris-

FASHION NOTES

Many little children appear charm
ing in pure yellow frocks.
An oilcloth motor coat in white and
red has three buckled belts.
Long-haired furs, like monkey and
gray hare, are preferred for trimming.
This trimming is usually applied to
wide.brimmed shapes and no other or
nament is employed.
Bead frogs are novelty that forms
an interesting trimming for chiffon
and other sheer fabrics. They are
frogs Of the regulation shape, formed
Of beads strung and sewed into place,
More and more use Of lace, both as
trimming and in combination as a
fabric, Is noted. The all-lace dress
blouse and hat are here, but the big
gest acceptance is of models Of lace
and georgette, or Of lace and net OF
lace and wolfe.

KEEP BUSY AND LIVE LONG
Notable Examples Of Longevity
Among Men Who Have Elected
to Remain in Harness"

Maybe ii used to be that "the good
die young" but 1t doesn't look as though
they're doing 1t now.
Take, for instance, Rev. Albert Vo-
gel of Jeanette, Pa.
He's one hundred and two years old.
He's never smoked or chewed tobac-
co or drank intoxicating liquor. Never
quarreled or fought with another man.
Always trying to do good and to per.
suade others to behave themselves.
Rev. Mr.. Vogel is the Oldest active
minister of the gospel in the United
States.
Hard work, lots of walking and an
occasional fishing trip is his formula
for long and happy life.
And this reminds us that Rev. DR.,
Aaron L. Ballard is president Of the
Ocean Grove Camp Meeting associa-
ton, New York, and is ninety.eight
years old.
81 never would have lived to this
age" Doctor Ballard said, 'if had re-
tired ut sixty and commenced twirllng

Fish That Spin silk.

silk stockings are very expensive
nowadays. says Parsons Weekly.
The most costly of all this kind OF
hosiery, however, is made from silk
which is not the product Of the silk
worms, but species Of shellfish called
a puma.
The puma makes its home In the
warm waters of the Mediterranean
round Sicily. II has an odd little tube
Mt the end of It's tongue.
Out of this tube, spider fas,'on, or
silk-worm fashion, II spins silk thread
with which IL fastens itself to any
rock to which II wishes to adhere.
When the puma moves on to fresh
feeding grounds Its silken cable is left
behind. I'his cable, which Is called
byssus, the Sicilian fishermen gather.
Byssus weaves into the softest, finest,
sheeniest Of fabrics but 1t is very rare,

Teach Proper Housing.

Cincinnati is said to be doing more
to solve the problem of the careless
tenant than any other city in the
United States. This is being carried
on through better housing league.
The Ohio city put into effect the first
systematic plan for teaching housing
in the public schools. 1t is declared.
Three visiting housekeepers are at
work in various districts Of the city.
Each has a district small enough so
that she can get to all the houses In
her territory frequently. She gets In
touch with the owner, explains the
work, seeks his cooperation, and asks
in return for her services that he
make reasonable repairs that she may
recommend.
1t is not claimed by the league that
the visiting housekeepers will revo-
lutionize conditions in a day or year.
What is being accomplished, 1t Is
stated, Is so satisfactory that the
league hopes to gradually extend the
work so that 1t may reach every tenant
in the city.

FASHION CALL FOR PAJAMAS
Garment Gaining Favor for House
Wear Instead Of Room Robes;
Got Over Footlights.

The French fashion for wearing or
nate and brilliantly-colored pajamas
in the house instead of room robes
has been taken up in America. The
fashion was exploited by the Stage
and got over the footlights to the
public.
American women, however, are
adopting the Chinese costume, which
they call by the name of pajamas.
The loose trousers are laced i'm to fit
the ankles, and the feet are slipped
into gay Chinese slippers. There Is a
short tunic, In the Chinese manner,
worn over the full trousers and often
there Is n sash in brilliantly-colored
Chinese crepe.
There's not gulf Of difference fixed
between the modern skirt, with Its
wide hips and tight hem, and the
pajamas with their fullness at the
hips and their laced ankles. These
costumes are made in taffeta, crepe
georgette, and heavy white Chinese
silk.

REVIVAL OF SEPARATE SKIRT
Garment for Dressy Wear Promises to
Hold Favor According to FASH
ion Correspondent

The season Is marked by the revival
Some novel forms of drapery and loop
ed panels promise to play a prominent
part in the autumn skirts, observes a
prominent fashion writer. Lines of
distinction characterize the models of
recent importation, and the soft silks
and satins lend themselves gracefully
to the vOluminOus drapery.
The newest skirts are long enough
to cover the boot tops and quite wide
enough for comfort. The widths at
the bottom will vary from yard and
n quarter to yard and three-quarters,
with all widths between. Silk anG
satin models are inclined to be bit
wider.
One smart skirt interpreting the
autumn vogue was shown in supple
black satin and pale gray crepe. 1t
was draped low about the hips, but
in great cascades at the sides. These
drapes were turned inside out and
faced with the gray crepe. A wide
crushed girdle of the material
wrapped itself snugly about the waist.
TO complete this skirt, one wears a
lovely blouse of pale gray georgette
embroidered with sparkling jet beads.
For a pleasing change one might also
choose a bodice of black satin with
gray trimmings, to harmonize with the
skirt.

this is an unexpected happening in this
day of elaborate, hand-worked decOra-
tons. The top Of the dress was very
full and gathered at the waist, but the
silk was so soft and supple that there
was no appearance Of bunchiness.
Then the deep lace ffounce was gath
cred and set on with a heading and
underneath there was a slip of dull
silver tulle finely plated. This slip
skirt did not show at all, except
through the meshes Of the lace flounce
as the latter almost reached the
ankles.
1t is said, and confidently, that next
winter we shall find crinolines worn
again. This do not believe; at least
I do not believe they will be worn by
the average woman, though they may
make their appearance on the stage,
and, perhaps, in certain circles where
sensational toilettes are appreciated.
What is certain is that we are draw
ing nearer and nearer to wider and
fuller skirts; to something very like
what Paul Tribe has called "the barrel
outline" And this, when free from ex-
aggeration, is really charming.
Full skirts, made of the most supple
stuffs and gathered ut the waist. are
very comfortable and becoming; also
they are easily made. Many of the new
casaque-blOuses have frills at the sides,
over the hips, to give the wide effect !;
they are quaint and in many cases very
pretty.

High lace or net stocks are no long
er a novelty, but are more varied and
numerous than ever. And there are
many high models, also in embroider-

ever. are really practical or becoming.
There are new high stocks Of white
washable satin, with vestees attach
