New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, May 17.—Have you seen what appears to be a corner of a boudoir walking down the street? Well, you will soon. They are already appearing on tennis courts here abouts. Girls in chintzes and cretones, with lage splashy patterns all over them, exactly like the velour parlor chairs in their summer wrappings, they are. Bright carmine drapery linens with blue stripes and yellow dots, scenic chintzes of huge patterns and vivid hues in futuristic designs showing languorous figures in eccentric poses are among the favorites not only in sport skirts but for entire costumes, hats and bags. "I never thought of going into dressmaking as a business," said an interior decorator, "but women seem to be buying more large figured draperies fabrics for clothes than for houses this season. There are some designs I will not let them have, though, for such purposes." He showed a chintz enormously patterned with red and yellow farm scenes. "That, for instance," he added, "one of them was determined to dress herself in that, but I said positively that she could not." Another New York society woman sets up shop. Mrs. Gouveneur Morris, this time, wife of the author, will open her parlor de luxe. She insists that she is largely epitomizing doing it—that it is one duty in life to add as much beauty as possible to the world, and that she hopes to enable debutantes to keep their girlish colors, lines, and lack of lines for added numbers of years. It will be a very smart place, indeed, with tea served while one waits and all that sort of thing. To overcome the cruel effects of golf and gardening upon the hands, there is a recipe straight from—sh! the harem! Regardless of how one may pity the harem ladies, one is allowed to envy their white hands, and so an American who had tea one time was brought home the recipe.

ANAHEIM Los Angeles at Chestnut Phone 31 THE-ORANGE COUNTY, PLAIN DE ALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA and so an American woman who had tea one time with them brought home the recipe they used, and here it is! Phyllis Ruth Tocque sailed on the fronta the other day for England on a full-sized passport and all alone—proudly alone, in fact. The side and noteworthiness are due to the fact that Phyllis is just four and a quarter years old. There is no one on the signiner whom she has seen before. Her father came up from Louisville to put her safely on guard and her grandparents will meet after the broad Atlantic has been filled across. But on route, she is captain of herself. Everybody on board from midshipmate to captain, including all the passengers were trying to claim the privilege of looking after her as the boat sailed, but Phyllis exclaimed firmly to them all "I'm travelling alone." Henry Anton Madler declares that he is not dead, whatever his under-taker may insist, and moveover that he has a very particular grievance. The undertaker so says, has used his money with which to give a handsome burial including cremation to another man! Eighteen months ago, Mr. Madler says, before entering the Laurel Hill almshouse, he gave his last dollars to the undertaker with directions for their spending. The other-day he wandered into a gathering place of his old Hoboken ironies and they jumped upon him with the statement that he was dead—and his ashes reposing in a vase in the crematory. He denied it, but they insisted so firmly that he went to the undertaker about it. Yes, said the undertaker, it was all true, including the fact that his money had been used for his ceremony. The alms-house attempted to straighten matters out by explaining to the under-taker that it was a different name altogether they gave his as the deceased man, but the undertaker says he understood it to be Madier and he used Madier's money for it and he doesn't see what can be done about it. Moreover, Mr. Madier, he thinks, should be glad to be alive under the circumstances and not be fussy about a little burial money. Spring house-cleaning time is upon us except with those prompt and early souls who have it all done and winted things well-packed away. Anaway, let them and the rest of the household of the country think of the New York Hippodrome and be grateful. Anna Ritterrodt, housekeeper for the big playhouse, is just now putting away in moth balls for the summer the wardrobe of "Good Times" and here is what it means: 4000 dresses, 2500 hats, 3000 pairs of shoes, anu 2000 pairs of shoes and slippers. She has 30 assistant housekeepers to help her, but even so—it's a fair-sized moth-ball job. The elephants only are moth-proof. Boys and girls of this part of the Atlantic coast are going to be expert sailors by the time they are of boat-racing age. The number of sailboat being built this year for school girls and boys is amazing when one considers the tremendous increase over a few years ago. Two hundred and ten of them have been built in the shops right around New York, ranging in size from the fourteen and one-half foot boats familiar in Oyster Bay to sixteen foot cats for use off Marblehead. Spring breezes that reach even the most sluggish of city hearts drifted into a class room on the lower East Side the other day, where for four hours daily a young and spring-lowing teacher struggles to teach English to adult foreigners. The breezes reminded her of the world out of doors, and she wrote the word "seasons" on the board, and asked the class: Now you anyone tell me how COMPLAINS ARE FILED IN OVERLLOADING CASES Complaints and other papers in two cases taken an appeal from the justice court here were filed with the county clerk today for trial in the superior court. Both cases involve two overloaded trucks owned by the Wilmington Consolidated lumber company. Fines were assessed against the drivers of the two trucks by Justice Cox May 2 and at that time Frank Richards, attorney for the lumber company, gave notice of anneal. Richards has to the highest county ordinance to make it a put-through and invalid "because tory and not of the court ant is found. The attorn ordinance is effect; that without jurary under section Spring breezes that reach even the most sluggish of city hearts drifted into a class room on the lower East Side the other day, where for four hours daily a young and spring-lowing teacher struggles to teach English to adult foreigners. The breezes reminded her of the world out of doors, and she wrote the word "seasons" on the board, and asked the class, "Now, can anyone tell me how many seasons there are and what they are called?" In union the class promptly responded, "Two—busy and slack." The movement to extend the usefulness of the Navy Club of this city by making it national in charter has been officially launched. The plan is to have each state represented in the enlisted personnel of the navy to subscribe $10,000 for endowment of dormitories to be used as shore quarters by visiting sailors. The only gorilla in the world in captivity (that probably ought to be spelled out in capitals) has to have real attention given it when it pines away. That is why Edna Cunningham, of London, whose father captured John Daniel—the above mentioned only etc.—when he was a baby gorilla, was cabled for by the Madison Square Garden people, to come and cheer John up. The animal just moped and grew thin, refusing to eat or play, and the experts diagnosed it as homesickness. Miss Cunningham had been brought up with the animal as a playmate and as a last desperate resource, she was sent for. She cabled back that she would sail at once. But John died before she arrived. Authors, playwrights and motion picture actors all got into the same picture recently, and the result is amusing and well-done. It is the "Non-Sense of Censorship," the film made for the National Association of the Motion Picture Industry, which is being shown in photoplay houses in states where agitation for censorship is now going on. Douglas Fairbanks, Rupert Hughes, Edw. Knoblock, Samuel Merwin, Rita Weiman and Montague Glass, are among the "stars"—all of them except "Doug" being writers. One lone crusader sees his duty as a citizen and is doing it. Among the places in New York where smoking is forbidden is the subway stations as well as trains. It is not a frequently violated law and consequently no great effort ever seems to be made to prevent the semi-oceanical infraction. But one man who boards the Broadway subway at W. 157th street, takes is more seriously than the rest of the world. He scans the platforms every morning and night with an eagle eye and One lone crusader sees his duty as a citizen and is doing it. Among the places in New York where smoking is forbidden is the subway stations as well as trains. It is not a frequently violated law and consequently no great effort ever seems to be made to prevent the semi-occasional infraction. But one man who boards the Broadway subway at W. 157th street, takes it more seriously than the rest of the world. He scans the platforms every morning and night with an eagle eye and whenever he spies a smoker he approaches him with the direct question, "Do you think you are doing right in breaking the law against smoking in the subway?" The query had never yet been resented so far as anyone known. Surprise, embarrassment and obedience have been the only emotions registered. Whether it has anything to do with the difference in the laws governing this country and Bermuda, certain it is that there is a greatly renowned chatter this spring about the starting of an airplane line between New York and the hospitable island. The 620 miles could be made easily by air in six hours, says those who have figured it all out and declare that such service will be a reality before many months. The regular mail service between Miami and Nassau, to be inaugurated this spring, is one fact pointed to in support of the chatter. Craps can no longer be referred to exclusively at "African Golf." It is just at the moment the amusement par excellent of dubutante New York—that is at such times as there are no men about to make dancing eliminate the fascination of the little ivory cubes. Nearly every jewelry store and novelty shop in town is displaying sets of these cubes in silver and gold cases, fit for a place in any mesh bag carried on the Avenue. And it has even been suggested by some flippant soul that, with the present length of skirts worn by the girls in question, artistically-embroidered knee-pads will have to come next. For no real crap player of the days when it was confined to quiet alley corners, would be without his pads to protect his knees while he knelt on the hard stones to "shoot." ~The Plain Dealer for Good Printing. Richards in a statement on appeal to the higher court holds that the county ordinance fixing the maximum load at 25,400 pounds does not make it a public offense for violation thereof, and that the ordinance is invalid "because it is merely directory and not mandatory on the part of the court to punish the defendant is found guilty." The attorney further holds that the ordinance is not criminal but civil in effect; that the justice court is without jurisdiction of the offense under section 1425 of the penal code in that the fine might exceed $500. The two truck drivers concerned in the cases are F. G. Mayze and R. C. Hadley Both were arrested by Traffic Officer H. S. Warner. Mayze was taken March 16 on the Whitaker boulevard and Hadley was arrested March 17 on the Newport boulevard. A plot has been discovered, says a Dutch correspondent, for the reconquest of Germany by the ex-Grown Prince. If it had succeeded, observes London Punch, would have served them both right. THE F. W.
