Spenking at the twenty-third annua! reunion and dinner of the New York Pwolic Lecture Corps at the Hotel Astor last night, Dr. Leip. wiger anid: “To make the slightest error is to bring down the wrath of a digcrimin- ating audience, Recently I received a letter from an indignant taxpayer. ‘I thought religion and politics were Darred from these lectures,” he wrote, “but last night one of your lecturers a@poke in highest flattery of Theodore Roosevelt, seven years President and seeker for another term.’ And the subject of his lecture, Dr, Leipaiger ald, was “Noiseless Forces.” COURSE ESTABLIGHED BY THE EVENING WORLD. More than 20 of the 700 lecturers who make up the corps were present @t the dinner and reunion, the course having been established by Tie Eve- ning World in 1889. Starting in that year with lecturers furnished by The Bvening World, the course has increased by the Board of Education until, in the geagon of 1911-1912, there were G@ttended by 1,250,000 persons.

We size up the situation pretty accurately, however, when we say that 15.00 at Saks’ gives the young man a far better selection of models and fabrics than can be seen at that rice elsewhere. Then, there is the ho a ad consider. hat is another phase of our superiority. style and individual lines in Saks 15.00 garments for the young man are peculiar to our productions alone. We have, in short, given the young man that distinctive note in clothes which is too generally reserved for maturer years. At 15.00, for Spring and Summer wear, we are at present showing orfolks and sack models, in blue serges, mixture cloths, grays anu browns, and the young man who comes in to check us up wili not find us wanting. Fifth floor White Wash Veils direct from Brussels—75c to 13.50 G Gone are the stringy silk veils of yester year, and who laments their loss? They were as washed out, limp, bedraggled and unsjghtly as a pair of boarding-house curtains, and never survived their freshness by more than a few hours. Fortunately, the smart women today, in Paris and New York, prefer the Brussels lace veils, those cocils soft and sheer net effects which can be worn indefinitely without showing wear, and washed into newness again when they do. We have just imported a liberal shipment of these dainty Brussels veilings, in the newest and cleverest designs imaginable. Real Lierre, applique and Princess laces, with elaborate borders.
