HUNDREDS ATTEND
DEPEW'S FUNERAL
Crowds of Shoppers Pause

NEW YORK, April 7.-Bustling New
York paused in its activities today to
paw its final tribute to the memory OF
one of its oldest and most beloved
citizens, Chauncey M. Depew, the
man without an enemy"
Fifth avenue, one of the worlds
most beautiful thoroughfares, was
hushed in the vicinity of Fifty-third
street as the funeral services we're held
at St Thomas Protestant Episcopal
Church. Just around the corner from
the brownstone mansion, where the
93-year-old statesman, railroad execu-
tive. wit and orator died Thursday
Crowds of late Easter shoppers in the
smart shops paused in the brilliant
sunshine of a balmy Spring day ana
stood silently near the stately ediflce.
Forty policemen we're stationed nearby.
Flags flew as half staff from many
buildings.
Notables Are Present.
Inside the church were gathered some
of the most distinguished citizens of
the country. They represented great
business and social organizations with
which Mr.. Depew had been associated
for MANY years. Every pew was occu-
pied and many stood in the rear of the
church.
The solemn. impressive ritual of the
denomination was In charge of old-time
friends-Bishop Ernest M. Stires OF
Long Island, Bishop William T. Man
ming of New York. and the rector, Rev,
r. T. Brooks The vested boy choir
of the church sang.
The coffin was covered with a blan-
ket of red roses, on the center of which
was white cross of Easter lilies. The
chancel rail was banked high with an
array of glorious floral tributes. Con-
spicuous among them was a wreath, flve
feet in diameter. of red roses, gardenias
and lavender statias sent by the board
of directors of the New York Central
Railroad. Mr.. Depew was chairman
of the board at the time of his death.

Special Curtaining Needed
For Hight CeIineed Rooms

High ceilings are an advantage in
large rooms. The very large room with
a low ceiling seems as out of propor-
ton as a very small room with an
inordinately high ceiling. So in choos-
ing curtains for windows in O high
ceilinsed room one would not make
any special effort to give the effect Of
lower ceilings save in the smaller
rooms
Most decorators nowadays use sash
or glass curtain-which Is placed as near
the window glass as possible--and nsu-
ally some sort OF overdrapery as well
The feeling now is that the sash cur
tain ought never TO be looped back.
II the view from the window Is such
! that you are disposed TO have an un-
curtained space for unobStructed view,
1t is better not TO have any sash or
glass curtain at all The object of the
sash curtain is TO soften the highland
In most cases. In the city at least, there
is advantage az in softening the view
without
These sash curtains are usually made
with two pieces for every window,
though II the windows are not very
vide one width OF wide curtain material
Is sometimes used instead Even for
the sake Of making the windows seem
shorter one would not use figured or
banded material for sash curtains
These curtains may be OF theatrical
gauze. silk gauze. net. scriin--any fine,
plain material Cream, ecru or other
tint Is usually preferred TO pure white.
Where plain sash curtains are used
there is almost always a side drape with
valance-or side drapes alone though
with high ceilings the valance Is desir-
able. These side drapes' and yaIances
Evening star., 1928-06-17

when made by professionals are almost
always lined, and 1t is generally worth
while 10 do this when they are made al
home.
In planning for your window draperies
much depends on the choice of curtain
rods. When there is TO be a single sash
curtain alone. one rod is enough. Dou-
bic rods are needed when there is a
sash curtain and side drapes or sash
curtain and valance only-or where
there Is no sash curtain but only val
ance and side drape.
The fashion of mounting the over
curtains or side dra1es and short Yai-
ance between all on one rod Is not
recommended By decorators. If YOU are
going TO have side drapes with valance
and sash curtains then you will need
triple rod arrangement OF some sort
one for the sash curtain one for the
side drapes and third for the valance
which should go all the way across the
top of the window.
Many decorators use one double rod
arrangement for the side drape and
Valance-and a separate fiat sash cur
tain rod for the sash curtain their idea
being that the best effect is produced
when the sash curtain is set as closely
to the window as possible.
"A rev years ago II was generally
agreed that curtain rings were entirely
passe and decorators almost always
made their curtains with an open hem
at the top 50 that they could be run
along round or fiat rods. There has
been a revived interest In older forms
Of window drapery of late and In rooms
where Spanish or italian effects are
sought. rather heavy iron fixtures are
chosen with the drapery and curtains
attached by means OF iron rings

Give Variety to
Children's Meals.

Theoretically, personal likes and dts
likes oughtn't to be taken into consid-
Grafton In making children's meals
The idea Is that. II properly "condi-
toned" child will cat wholesome food
placed before 1t at regular meal times
without demur. Something must b.
wrong with early training If the child
loudly proclaims his dislike for spinach
and makes faces at the sight OF junket
But not being perfect mothers--most
OF us--ard having made errors in the
carly training of our children, we are
confronted with the fact that Billy lis
always ready to argue his way out of
eating spinach and Mary Jane Just
won't eat her rice pudding or tunket or
whatever II happens TO be that has been
offered for dessert
We may, OF course. consult one of the
new books on the behavior of children
and We may learn that 1t Is possible to
"uncondition" children so that they viii
feel differently about the good, whole
some food we think is best for them.
Come OF the books tell us just how 10
go about this business OF making up
ior the harm done In wrong early train
| ing. Or We may adopt older fashioned
methods and pit our will against that
OF our children. Hold their noses TO
make them cat the food they don't
think they iike--or starve them into It.
True, In the end we will probably win
out. But In actual practice we won I
because We won't have patience for the
first procedure or courage or hardness
for the second
| Having number Of other duties and
! responsibilities on our shoulders besides
| this matter OF providing nourishment
| for our children. the best that most Of
US can do is to effect compromise
! If Mary Jane won't eat her iunket,
| there is at least the consolation that

and ice cream IL fully as nourishing

Too Much and Too Little Salt.

We hear so much nowadays about
the harm done by too much salt in
the diet that many persons are led 10
go 10 the other extreme and allow too
little OF this necessary mineral. In no
phase Of life should the rule OF the
golden mean be applied more consist
entity than in the diet--~a fact which
food faddistg sometimes forget
In the matter Of salt many persons

there Is always the temptation 10 over

Colared Necne Is Striking Characteristic of Frock of 1925
BY MARY MARSHALL.
T<HE fashion for wearing detachable
collars and cuffs is decidedly Oc-

TIME fashion for wearing detachable
collars and cuffs is decidedly Oc-
c.dental. Study the local cos
"A tune OF almost any European
country and you will usually find
these detachable, washable bits of lace
or muslin.
They were ell part of the scheme
along with washable caps and aprons
for maintaining a state of trim cleanli-
ness in countries where rather heavy
clothing had tp be worn. You don't
have to make special study of the
costumery of China or Japan or Persia
or India or Egypt or ancient Greece or
Rome to know that collars and cuffs
are not characteristic of them.
Fashion reporters like nowadays to
speak of the return of the accessory
cs.lcr and cuff ir women's dress as part
of the return 10 femininity. Personally
consider it part of the return to the
Occidental.
There really was nothing unfeminine
about the uncollared. uncuffed, sheath
type of garment that was the type on
which all our frocks have recently been
fashioned. But it did mark turning
away from the dress traditions of West
ern Europe and very decided influence
from the East Look back in the ac-
counts of clothes 10 and Is years ago
Is applied to the simplif1ed. less closely
fitted clothes when they were first in
troduced among us.
In getting back to the more Occi-
dental tradition in dress we may be
losing something in the way of SIM
plicity and grace of outline. 1t may
mean that We are getting back TO COM
plication and fussiness and intricacy.
But I really do think that for most
more complicated and more ornate
clothes are more becoming. and I am
perfectly certain that 9 American
and European women out of 10 look a
great deal better when their frocks are
relieved by the halftone of some soft
bit of lace or muslin or other lingerie
about the neck and at the wrists.
So 1t Is that you hear now that the
collared neckline dates the frock of
1928 Rather the uncollared neckline
dates the frocks that were in fashion
for some Is years previously to 1928.
The only objection that women raise
70 them Is that they do complicate
dressing The woman without a maid
must somehow find time to see that
these dainty bits of light material are In
perfect condition and spotless. !
Practically every one of the well /
known French dressmakers has made |
use of collars and cuffs IN some form or |
other In the daytime frocks and some
times the idea is also employed for the |
~cening mode.
.uise Boulanger is using short fichus /
ard variety of new iabots. Talbot has /
n vived the sailor collar straight across !
the back and coming to Y at the front. |
Berthe and Vionnet are using little cape |
collars sometimes to match the frocks |
and sometimes of lighter georgette or |
chiffon. Agnes uses jabot collars OF |
lace and Chanel has crisp white pleat~ /
ing arranged for collars with V openings !
On navy blue silk frocks.
