Nearly all of the dresses shown to- day are fashioned of two or more ma- terials or colors. This means a great deal to the woman who has a frock to memodel or a short length of rich silk @r brocade that she would like to make @se of. Formerly we would have con- @dered this combining of materials “patchy,” but now it is the effect de- alred. 7728 is an overblouse dress that of- fers excellent opportunities for making use of a small amount of material or for making over an old frock. The overblouse is in surplice effect, closing in the back. A separate guimpe or un- derbodice has a small round yoke and may be made with a high or round neck. The sleeves also are perforated for a shorter length if preferred. On many of the more dressy blouses and frocks the three-quarter sleeve seems to be preferred, but for the tailoreu dress and blouse the wrist length is smarter. Crepe de Chine in one of the new shades would be very effective with this model. The guimpe could be of net or shadow lace and the broad crush girdle of a harmonizing shade. In size 36 this dress may be made with 54 yards of 36 inch material and 1%, yards of material for the guimpe. The pattern is cut in 5 sizes; 34 to 42. This Is a Perfect Pattern.

The problem, says the American City, of providing a substantial yet economical field house or recreation building for use as a social center or in connection with a public playground is onme which is confronting - many small towns and cities which have ob- served the wonderful success of such institutions in Chicago and other large cities and have desired to keep pace in a Mmeasure with the movement to pro- vide modern recreation facilities. The matter of expense both of con- struction and operation has been a barrier to many cities that bave been ambitious to provide such buildings. but Seattle has demonstrated that a modern field house, practical in de- sign and economical in operation, can !

P In 1911 the Seattle park commission sent its superintendent and secretary on an inspection trip to ‘about fifteen American cities for the special study of field houses and bath houses. The result of their investigation has been embodied in the construction of the Seattle type of field house. These men were greatly impressed with the diversified facilities provided in the elaborate system of recreation buildings in Chieago. Smaller cities lack the means to provide such luxuri- ous institutions, and it was necessary for Seattle to work out a medified Do you pay rent? DON'T!

A practical. eco- nomical and serviceable field house was planned. which embraces nearly all of the features of the Chicago buildings, and can be constructed and equipped for $25,000, or about one- fourth of "the cost of the Chicago buildings. Four buildings of this type have been constructed in Seattle, and vari- ous authorities who have inspected them pronounce them model social cen- ter structures for the average city. THE UNCOUTH BILLBOARD. Outdoor Advertising of Disfiguring Na- ture Should Be Abolished. If one thing more than another tends to give our cities an uncouth appearance, says the Engineering Rec- ord editorially, and to imply a lack of architectural culture and good taste it is our hideous outdoor advertising. Last December the mayor of New York appointed a billboard commis- sion, which has brought in a report that should be printed in abstract by civic betterment leagues and scattered broadeast throughout the country. Briefly, the recommended rules would prohibit all outdoor advertising. except shop signs, in the neighborhood of parks, public buildings and streets of exceptional chgrncter and all large.or “books.

A All who are sincerely interested in general civic improvement will join in the hope that New York will adopt the recommendations. Such action would improve the appearance of the city and serve as an example to other cities. Chicago acted courageously in 1911 and has pointed the way for other cities to go a step further. TO IMPROVE COPLEY SQUARE It Is Proposed te Eliminate an Offend- ing Street In Boston. The general unattractiveness of Cop- ley square in Boston has been attrib- uted to tlie way a diagonal street is laid out at a bad line across it, cutting it in an irregular, unsymmetrical way into two small triangles. In order to improve the appearance of the loca- tion Mayor Fitzgerald has petitioned the legislature to allow the street com- missioners to eliminate the street. On one side of the square is the Bos- ton public library. on another the new Plaza hotel. on another Phillips Brooks' old church and on a corner of the fourth is the new Old South church. It is thus one of Boston’s civic centers already. Civic Clearing House. The improvement clubs of San An- (tonfo, Tex., have established a civic clearing house to constitute a common meeting place for all such organiza- tions and to fostér civic.oride.
