GARDEN BOXING ON VERGE OF. ELIMINATION
Small Clubs Outdraw Huge New York Arena; Leng.
 let Won From Birkie
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Stan COrresponden

tUntteO Hres1 bthu COrrespVnuu"T
 New York, Jan, 26--(UP0-- The boxing fortunes of Madison Square Garden hit their lowest depths to- day.
 A crowd of 2,330 paid s6,630..i0 to see last nights mediocre heavyweight show, making the second time In less than . month that the big arena, with c seating capacity of nearly 10000 for boxing, has opened It's doors to less than 2,000 paid cuB- toners. The net receipts were Sb,- 342.i2, not enough to pay the rent and overhead, without considering the fighters purses.
 Tho Garden has promoted only one successful show during tho Win- ter season--thc Primo Camera Walter Neuscl bout which drew l2,- 900. Tho house that Tex built has gone in the red on all It's other shows except the Joe L,ouls-Paulino Uzcudun bout, which was staged by Promoter Mike Jacobs.
 To Lose Fridays?
 With boxing continuing to dee cline in the Garden while it pr0s- pers in the smaller clubs in the Mettropolitan aree. the New York State Athletic commission is Con- Sidering taking Fridays, the best flight night of the week, away from the Garden. This might cause tho Garden to abandon boxing alto- gether, which has been threatening on and off for some time,
 Three small clubs have put on sell0uts this week. The Ray Miller Jimmy Fantlnl, lightweight bout nt the Ht. Nich0laH arena drew 4,b00 Monday night. The Lew AmbcrB- Tony Herrera lightweight at the Broadway arena attracted 4,000 on Tuesday night. The Tony CanSon' CIT. i.Brecio Garcia lightweight match at the Star Casino drew 4,0O0 with hundreds turned away Wednesday night. Every one of these small clubs 0utdrew the Garden, and showed c profit for the promoter and fighters.
 The Broadway arena ha8 booked another prospective sellout for Tues day night. bringing together WoS- ley Ramey, Grand Rapids Mich, and Eddie Cool, Philadelphia, in a lightweight bout. Itamey was brought into New York by the dar- den which was unable to supply m opponent.
 In The Money
 The present state of affairs iB a far cry from the days when Tex Rickard was Rt the helm. In 1927 the Jack Delaney-jimmy Mal0ney bout drew s20i TAO. the present inc door record. Rickard wouldn't Con- slder opening the Gardens d00rg unless a match figured to draw 160,000. lie used to pay Si,b00 for an ordinary Ground preliminary. A main event fighter can't get a g.. GOO guarantee from the present Garden boxing promoter.
 Only one bout on last nights pro. gram gave the crowd any action, George Broscia, Argentine henvy- weight, won c Cl0ge Ground deCiSl0n from Frankie Connolly, Boston strong boy. The other 90 rounds had the gallery Gods mockingly crying; "wipe oif the blood" "Stop this bloody battle" etc.
 The Gardens French iinp0rtn ton, Andre Lenglet, took the decisi0n from Hans Birkie, Berkeley, Calf, heavyweight. but revealed the lanky European as little more than a nos vice. The other bouts belonged in q gym.

All in all it was a very sue
cessful meal, and we praised
highly the new gadget.
Jane also described two other
types on the market. One was
built on the same principle as
the one described above but
came attached to one-burner
hot plate. The other type was a
glorified chatting dish with two
insets that came with chro-

heating unit was inverted over
the platter.
This, of course, was very neat,
too, and ideal for Sunday night

Remembering Mary's wise shop
ping the afternoon she purchased
the percolator was curious.
Jane had Mary and me close our
eyes and open them only when
we were at the door of their small
kitchenette. There in shining
splendor was the newest addition
for the crowded kitchenette.
"Streamlined, chromium nd
black" said Jane. "And please
note the red knObby feet"
Mary and I both exclaimed over
its appearance.
'Tt looks very NICE" said Mary
practically, "but what can it do?
1t looks like q large silver chest

Defensively Jane produced the
directions that came with it show.

steaks, and chops, toast double
sandwiches, bake pies, cakes Gus

The chromium top was a lid
that turned back to expose the top

used both for broiling and cooking
so apparently radiated more heat
than the ordinary unit for cooking
A drawer of chromium with a
long black handle held the deep
roasting pan underneath. On this
Jane had the rack to hold food
directly under the coils.
'Tt works like this" said Jane.
"When you are frying on top of
the burner, you turn the drawer
upside down like this. That acts
as a reflector and throws all the
heat against the bottom of the
skillet.
did you get a skillet with it?"
asked Mary.
'NO, of course not. Nor did we
get a coffee percolatOr. That Is
beside the point" answered Jane.
"Not at ALL" answered Mary.
I'm fact, very pertinent, especially
as we have two already-SkilletS,
/ mean"
"But If you want to brOil chops,
for example," continued Jane, dis
regarding this remark, "yOu drop
the lid, preheat for five minutes,
then place the chops on the rack
and brown each side nicely. If the
chops are thick, which they usually
are, then finish cooking on the
lower elevation"
It sounded as though there
might really be possibilities here.
For steak, she thought olive oil
or butter would be needed to
develop a rich moist flavor. But
the real feat was to be able to
serve hors d'oeuvres piping hot.
Bacon, for example, could be
wrapped around skinless weiners,
skewered, and broiled to perfec-
tion.
While she was describing these
different dishes, Mary and !
looked at each other and we both
said at once that we could hard
ly wait to try it out.
We did try it out. We had
open-faced cheese sandwiches
broiled. The cheese melted
through and they were delicious.
Then we had double sandwiches

Umbrella for
Spring

PARIS.-Among the striking
novelties in umbrellas are new
models in waxed fabrics, oilskin,
or lacquered materials which are
absolutely waterproof. This nov
city is doubtless inspired by the
vogue for lacquered fabrics, so
prominent at the present moment
in the haute couture. The new
models are made in very supple
fabrics and can be rolled as tightly
as any other model. A Faubourg
st. Germain shop shows these
umbrellas in bright colors Of red
and vivid green or blue, but they
are also extremely chic in brown,
in navy blue or in a lighter shade
of marine. The handles are usual
ly in plain plastic materials either
in the same color as the fabric or
in tortoise shell or ivory effects.
Some handles are in exotic wood.
Coat dresses, always inimitably
practical, are enchantingly new in
Observation-Disclosures editions.
Cornflower blue hubby silk makes
a grand young model, collared
with white pique, neatly buttoned
in back with nosegay buttons. Gay
spring black, in silky alpaca, is
smart in a coat dress with pleated
apron, amazingly anchored in back
with white zipperS. A saucer beret,
half white, half black groSgrain,
and black kidskin pumps with
white kid reverS are a discovery
for this frock. The most astound-
ing model, a navy sheer, has a
complete double breasted effect in
back, lapels and all!

WONDERING"
II you forsake your family, Of
whose genuine affection you are
convinced, and go back to a woman
who dropped you when misfortunes
came, I think you will regret it.
From all you have told me in
your letter, which is too long to
print, the lady is a gold-digger. And
that kind of an association does

Don't be surprised, therefore, II
your best friend tells you she has
new Renoir. It doesn't mean
that she has acquired wealth and
started collecting objets dart.
merely that the spe1f of spring is
upon her, and she's bought a new
hat.
Recent Inspiration
Renoir, Manet and Monet are
the inspirations of the moment.
And I'll try to tell you how, though
myself haven't been able to find
great deal of similarity to some
of the hats shown downtown. It's
probably too soon to inquire for
the masters in the stores, too, as
those things don't get around very
fast.
An utterly feminine and CO.
quettish quality is given the new
millinery from these sources. All
three painters worked at the time
when women were wearing bon
nets that perched pretty much on
the tops of their heads as our
hats do now. Flowers were in
abundance, many of them max
ing an entire hat. And if you'll
notice, all the stores are showing
such millinery right now.
Flowers and Fruits
Feathers, fruits, ribbons and
other trimming were apparent in
paintings of Renoir, Monet and
Manet, and again, the milliners
give them to you this season. Our
pillboXes with flowers perched in
front or on top might be either
Monet or Manet, and bonnets off
the face might be Renoir or Manet.
Just in case you think we're
fooling we'll give you an example.
Sally Victor, who is one Of Ameri-
cas- foremost milliners, successful,
and an artist to her fingertips, was
inspired by the cover of a recent
Cosmopolitan Magazine" to de-
sign two hats. The girl wore a
bonnet, turned up off the face,
with q fluted ruffle between hat
and face, and a wing jutting right
up on top. There may have been
some flowers, too, I don't remem-
Der exactly, but if you still have
the magazine around, you can
see how charming the girl looked
n the hat.
American Design
Sally Victor created the two hats
We have photographed on this
page, from the inspiration she got
from that one painting (not
Monet, Manet or Renoir). One is

with the fluted ruffle. Sally Victor

the girl in the picture wore q

The other hat is typical of many
being shown right now. It is Of
shiny black straw, with a wing
right up in front, the way many
hats are beginning to have them.
There's a wisp Of a veil, and it is
used for decoration, not for prac-
ticability. We had q smart hat on

this, even to bumper brim and

Etiquette

BY MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKNIAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Ts there any differentiation
between the dress Of the groom
and his best man and ushers at
q formal day wedding?
"GROOM-TO-BE."
There often is. For instance.
the groom may wear q white
waistcoat and white spatS and
the best man and ushers may
wear gray waistcoats and gray
Spats. Often too the groom wears
an Ascot tie, and his best man
and ushers wear four-in-hand
ties. In the boutonnieres, too,
there is usually a difference.
While the best man and ushers
wear q single white flower, the
groom often wears a few sprays
of lilies-of-the-valley from the
brides bouquet.
