OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Smart new. blouses are of dimity,
trimmed with gingham.
The favorite house dresses are
made Of percales and plain or checked
gnghams.
Trimming on the new spring coats
and wraps Is decidedly varied, braids
and embroideries being much used,
with applique work also favored.
The skirt that is seven to nine
inches from the ground Is short
enough for comfort, and that seems
to be the generally approved length.
Hats with medium-slzed crowns,
fashioned to fit the head snugly, and
brims of medium width are two Of
the style recommendations for spring,
and the brim that Is narrower In the
back than in the front promises to be
very popular.

Samuel Untermyer, the noted New

Carlton said:
Social distinctions are all right,
no doubt, but they make me think

'This chap gave party in his
new Fifth avenue house and, of course
there was an orchestra to play for
the singers and dancers.

Few New Workers Own Homes.

Fewer New Workers own their own
homes than do inhabitants of any
large city in America. There are
N27S,341 homes in New York and
only one-eighth are owned by the oc-
cupants. This is revealed in a study
made by the division Of building and
housing of the federal bureau of stand
ards, which included cities of the
United States having population OF
over one hundred thousand. Des

A graceful dinner gown recently
seen, in which ribbon played part,
was of American Beauty chiffon cut
with round neck, short sleeves and a
straight skirt with cascade drapery
at one side. Gold and black brocaded
ribbon was used to form two front
panels reaching from the skirt hem

was caught about the waist and fas-
tened at one side, two loops of the rib
bon dropping over the cascade side

Obnoxious Advertising Signs.

for other roads, and In time 1t should
have its effect upon the cities, where
the citizens are obliged to wage con-
tinuous battle to keep obnoxious ad-
vertising signs from parks and boule-

cases the signs are better than the
unfmproved tracts of lana which they
hide carries some weight, but it mere
