NEW YORK. Aug. 19.—Just exactly what is a skirt, anyhow? That is the question which is driving beach concerts around this city gray and desperate. At the various sound and ocean resort rules were passed before the bathing season even opened proclaiming that every woman and every girl over 10 years of age or so must wear bathing suit skirts reaching to her knee. And now they've gone and sprung the "ukulele skirt" on the poor enforcers of those rules! Oh, yes, it reaches to the knees, all right. Each particular ribbon is good knee length; but even a considerable number of ribbons attached to the waistline don't at all make up what the censors believe the rulemakers had in mind when they passed the edict. But what to do! What to do! One suburban village near Manhattan has made a thoroughly profitable connection between the housing problem and the motion picture industry. One picture producing company was about to do a play which required a Belgian village. With the accustomed expansiveness of the industry the director had ordered the entire village, 20 houses, built to order. He intended making them of paper mache and to destroy them when the picture was done. But certain residents of the village possessed foresight. The town was suffering from the general housing shortage and they suggested that the movie men could build of slightly more substantial material without much greater cost. So the proposition was made, and accepted, that the township furnish the materials and the director go ahead with his Belgian village. Now the picture has been finished; 20 families have moved into the houses; and everybody is happy. From time immemorial pretty maids have been kissed by greenery the boats of their own laws but they didn't see the loke of it just at the time. Greece had reached her quota of immigrants for July, so the liner captain learned by wireless. If they came into port the Greek aliens abroad would not be acceptable. Therefore being a wise Greek, Captain Hyapis decided just to anchor outside the three mile line until August 1 had safely dawned. Protests end appeals from Americans aboard crowded the wireless and everybody from the immigration officials at Ellis Island to the secretary of state's office received them. But all were helpless. Captain Hyapis smiled and murmered "August 1st" to everyone who stormed him. Mrs. Leslie Carter is back in town. Once hailed as "The American Bernhardt," Mrs. Carter has not been seen on the stage for a decade, but off-stage she looks and acts and talks just as she used to in the days of her first glory when Belasco presented her in "The Heart of Maryland." Her famed Titian hair glows as Titan-like as ever; the grey-green eyes are as mesmerizing as of yore; and her clothes, her voice, her hands, are all Leslie Carter just as she used to be. If she can do all that off stage, there isn't much doubt about how she'll appear when she's on in "The Circle," in which she opens next month. It will be the first time in all her career when she has acted under anyone but David Belasco. The interesting thing about the serious-looking woman who sells copies of a birth control publication along Broadway in the Thirties, rain or shine, is that she is doing it to support her family of six children: Fifth-ave is shortly to bloom forth as decorative and floral as Pomander walk, even tho still a bit more sophisticated.

The capitalist propaganda to hang something It was in vain that From time immemorial pretty malds have been kissed by grocer boys. It was supposed to be one of the perquisites of the grocer boy's job. But the reformation of grocer boys is one of the newest causes taken up by club women and kissing will probably vanish, along with other affairs of the good old days." In the meantime there are 12 husbands in the fashionable commuters' town of Scarsdale who are in strained relations with their club-member wives. Harry Brainard was delivering groceries to the Russell Sargent home. One glimpse of the new maid, Irene Barber, and Harry dropped a carton of eggs, and clasping one arm about her neck, placed a kiss on her arched left eyebrow. Irene failed to appreciate the gesture and wept to Mrs. Sargent. It was enough. The Woman's Club was in arms and demanded that Harry be prosecuted. So Harry, Irene, the Woman's Club and its husbands all appeared in police court—the most fashionable audience any police court ever knew. Then—tragedy! The club husbands were drawn for the jury. Twelve good citizens and good husbands, they looked pathetically at judge, wives—and Irene, as they filed from the room. Harry's only excuse to the judge had been that "she was pretty" and the husbands knew that would be no excuse for them to give. One juror had an inspiration and the others agreed.

And all that is only part of it. The merchants along the way will bear the expense of the baskets and of keeping them filled. Extreme cruelty to his auto is entirely sufficient ground for separation believes Frank H. Peck, of this city. In his petition for a decree, the aggrieved Mr. Peck complains that Mary Frances Peck, his wife, is a constant source of danger to his car, especially when something has displeased her, and every once in a while something does, he says. "She has systematically and maliciously injured it," he avers. In addition to this brutal treatment of his prized auto, Mr. Peck mentions that Mrs. Peck made him sleep on two trunks and called him "an educated goody-goody"; but those things were personal; he could have endured them. They injured only himself. When it came to his auto tho, well—the supreme court was caller in to sympathize.

Open for Business It is gratifying to note that it is to be an immediate and thorough inquiry into the disaster in the steamship Alaska by federal investigators. Particular attention is given to investigation of charges of incompetence on the part of officers. The inquiry should be searching into human culpability. If there were defects in the navigation of the ship or improper orders as to the course it should take, it should be ferreted out and suitable steps taken to prevent a recurrence of such catas- THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA volved in the slip, but still he was neighborly enough to give us a chance to get on safe ground. If we hadn't had the humidity and the coming mayoality campaign to think about at the same time, we would have got excited about it and bought rubber boots and arks. But at it was, New York passed through the hour set for submersion and all is still well. In the bequests of the late Michael Dreicer, the Metropolitan Museum has received some real treasures. Rare pieces of 12th century statuary are in the collection and a number of famous paintings, chief among them being the small painting, "Christ Appearing to Mary," a 15th Century masterpiece by the Flemish artist, Van der Weyden. Three hundred and fifty boys at a time, aged all the way from 8 to 15, are fortnighting near Jamesport, L. L., in what is undoubtedly the liveliest and joyfullest camp along the Eastern coast. They are members of the Boys' club of this city, of which Charles H. Sabin is president. More than 2,000 have had their outing so far and 1,000 more will get it in before the camp closes in September. It's a dangerous thing to make one's art too lifelike. Pascal Madero, 151 West 105th-st, wellnigh wrecked the Eden Musee out at Concy Island the other night when his glance fell upon a waxen tableau called "The Dying Gamekeeper." The gamekeeper has been shot by a poacher and is seen lying in a woody glade as he breathes his last. Madera declared the gamekeeper was his father and nobody had any right to exhibit him there that way. The attendants tried to persuade him that it was an entirely imaginative gamekeeper anyway, but Madera shouted, "That's my father. I know every line of his face. The statue lies. My old man wasn't shot at all. He fell out of a tree. I was with him the day he got killed. His foot slipped. If anybody shot him, who was it? That's what I want to know. This is a piece of capitalist propaganda. They're trying to hang something on my old dad." It has to lie cornerwise all the way to Europe. It's difficult accounting for temperament. Concetta Alesi, 21 Moore street, pretty nearly wrecked the Jefferson Market court the other day when she was brot there for a hearing. Guarded by the strongest, tallest and most experienced of the court attendees, things went all right until the court reprimanded her for the diversified, and strenuous profanity with which she greeted the order that she be hold in $200 ball for the Special Session. Then things were started. Concetta vaulted the court railing, throw two court officers out of the way, tapped an objecting clerk on the nose, and only surrendered when the reserves caught her. Now then, what do you suppose was the crime which had been committed by this Amazonian criminal? She had stolen a powder puff! Foor gardens and midnight shows of New York City have had another blow. Just after they have rallied from the shock of prohibition enforcement and decided that maybe they might get good enough music and food and entertainers so that a thorough sober public could still enjoy them, along comes this! The dress manufacturers have resolved to sell clothes on merit alone and cut out the entertaining of out of town buyers. Not even musicians' strike could hit the white light restaurants as heavy a blow as that. Two hundred representatives of the dress industries in solemn conclave the other day sounded that knell of the buyers' gayety. And kerplunk! went great lots of possible dinners and audiences. Whatever we may say about our police force and their occasional failures and their circles of politics, once in a while one of them does arise to the plannacle of giving us a thrill. Patrolman John A. Curry did that just the other day. It wasn't that he stopped a bad runaway and got seriously hurt doing it. We just expect things like that. But the way he did it! No sawing on the reins or any other indirect means for this brawny guardian.. He grabbed the horse's hind legs in both arms and held onto them for one whole block until the horse finally gave up trying to run without those legs and fell flat. Charles Carsten, only 18 years old, but an ex-soldier, added to the drama by jumping astride the horse's back while he was running. It was the most spectacular thing New York has seen since we got systematic and machinery - bound with motor busses and traffic rules. Miss Mabel Cratty, of New York, who is the acting head of all Y. W. C. A., organizations in this country, sails this month to visit the branches of the organization which are flourishing in the Orient. Miss Cratty, whose title is general secretary of the national board, will spend four or five months in China and Japan where 10,500 members have been drawn and THE Y.

Both Mrs. Rockefeller and Miss Woolsy will give part of their time to visiting the Association work both in Papan and China. The organizations in China and Japan are made up largely of student members, and work in close touch with the Christian churches there. They are train- Spartan Grocers 138 East Center St. G. O.
