old. When I go to a musical

from here. what should / wear?
Would an evening dress be ap.
propriate with Spanish shawl

You do not say in what way
you travel to the theater. II you
come in the train, you should
dress more formally than IL you
came in an automobile. But in
either event, formal dress is
usually not worn to the theater
unless we have been to a formal
dinner before the theater, or un-
less we are going to a formal
dance afterward. Then many
women prefer to keep their even.
ing coats on in the theater when
they wear formal clothes.
s Ia.
theater is the semi-formal dress,
the dinner dress or even q dress
more informal than that. For a
girl of seventeen, an informal
afternoon dress of chiffon or
georgette or crepe is appropriate
to wear to the theater. think
that you would find 1t bungly and
inconvenient and certainly in
appropriate to wear a Spanish
shawl and a coat. And this
would be overdressed for a girl
Of seventeen.
To the theateF in the afternoon
you should wear your most
formal day dress and a coat or q
three-piece suit.
CD No, usually a lady does not
cneck her wrap. When you take
or your coat In your seat Just
let It tall across the back Of your
chair Then 1t will be in a con.
venient position to get quickly at
the end Of the play, whereas, il
you check it you will have to
wait unnecessarily.
CD As l said above, il you are
going only to the theater, you had
better dress informally. 1t al.

see q woman in the train in even.
ing clothes and wearing q hat.

SCHOOL EXPENSES PERCENTAGE LOWER
Direct Appropriation S7.7SP.C
 Of Total Outlay

The school department will re- ceive slightly smaller proportion of the city's budget for 1927-192S than it was allowed for the current fiscal year, this in spite of the fact that sS1,297 more is provided in the new estimates.
 This fact is disclosed in an anal ysis of appropriations completed today by Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis. This year schools are al lowed s1,05S,954, and in addition there are interest and discount items of s120,62O applying on school bonds and payments on the principal of others in the amount of $124000. The total appropriation therefore is s1,303,574. This is 46.50 per cent. of the whole. The amount appro- priated directly to schools is S7.7S per cent of the whole.
 In the budget for next year the sum Of s1,140.251 is appropriated directly with s136,S7S.7S in the in terest and discount account, and S156, ,743.S5 in the item of payments on principal, making a total appro- priation of s1,433,S73.64 or 45.SS per cent of the whole. The amount di- rectly appropriated is 364S of the whole.

WITNESSES TRAVEL 300
 MILES BY AN AIRPLANE
Sent to Alaska to Give Testimony in Mail Robbery Case Against
 Nellie Bates

Fairbanks, Alaska, Feb. r P- Six government witnesses, carried 300 miles by airplane because of snow bound trails, were ordered to appear in federal court here today to present testimony in the mail rob- bery case against Nellie Bates, known as the Black Bear," who is charged with the theft of s33,O00 from a dog sled.
 Special Prosecutor Clyde Ellis outlined the case for the government last night by tracing the route of the SS3,000 from the time 1t left Seattle until it disappeared from the dog sled December 30, 1922.
 Ellis told how the money was placed on the sled on which the Black Bear" was a passenger. It disappeared at roadhouse operat- ed by William Schermeyer in a bleak section of the Ophiriditarod trail, $50 miles southwest of here. He charged that Schermeyer named jointly in the robbery indictment, aided the woman in burying the money and that they later recovered it and made an equal division.
 The prosecutor then recounted how inspectors of the United States post office department trailed Scher- meyer from Alaska to Mexico and back to Los Angeles where he was arrested and is alleged to have con- fessed, duplicating the Black Bear"

HEAVY FOG HITS
 NEW YORK CITY
Harbor Shrouded in MistS-
 Steamers Delayed

New York, Feb. IT R>-A dense, ground-gripping fog enshrouded New York today, tying up shipping and delaying ferry service.
 Three tramp steamers lay at the quarantine station waiting for the fog to lift. The few craft that moved about the harbor steamed cautiously and the waterfront resounded with the blowing of fog horns and warn- ing whistles.
 Street lamps were kept burning after their usual hours and motorists were forced to turn on their head lights. The Cortlandt street ferry, plying between West 42nd street and Weehawken, N. J.. suspended serv- ice for a time.
 Four coastwise ships due to arrive at Quarantine early this morning were virtually lost in the fog, but were not in danger. They had not been reported as the thick fog made it impossible for observers at Am prose lightship and at Quarantine to see passing shipping. The ships were the Royal Mail steam packet Ara guaya and the Furness- Bermuda liner St. George. both from Ber- muda; the Munson liner Marango, from the West Indies, and the Red Cross liner Nerrisa. from St. Johns, N. r.
 The Fall River liner Providence. with several hundred passengers from Fall River, Mass. and Newport, R. l., was delayed several hours when she was forced to anchor in the East river off Clason Point.
 A Staten Island ferry, with more than 2.0oO commuters aboard, came within 300 yards of the Battery Seawall before discovering she was nearly 200 yards from her slip. She docked safely.
 The Statue of Liberty boat took no sightseers to Bedloe's Island as the fog precluded any sightseeing and made operation of the boat an un- necessary risk.
 Ferries in the Manhattan and Weehawken slips of the West line were damned with passengers as of ficials of the line refused to permit more than one boat to operate at a time.
