Knott of New York County expressed himself about dothes and etiquette in London. Sheriff Knott has just returned from a tour of London and France to oompare thelr prison methods with ours. “And believe me,” says he, “while the court and prison methods of London are very similar to ours, for of course we use the old Wng- Ush prison methods, there is a whole dot of difference in what's what in clothes.” ‘The worst tragedy that can happen te @ woman is to be “over dressed” of not quite dressy enough at a social (The New York Evening Worta), Knott with a smile upon his ips as he recalled these scenes, “another time I was invited to the opening of the old Balley Court. I wore a bust- ness sult, but I found the Lord Mayor and two Sheriffs in silk robes with lace sleeves and gold chains. We rode to the court in a coach drawn by four horses and I can tell you no automobile has an interior which could begin to compare with the tapestry and mirrors in that coach, “If my old Bowery friends could have got one squint at me,” laughed Sheriff Knott, "they would never have voted for me again, “A few days later when we visited the Bailey Prison I noticed that the @' Lord Mayor, the Judges and all the Sheriffs had large bouquets of flow- ers, but you oouldn’t surprise me at wey CARES Lance QOUMUETS OF PLoweRs Sheriff David H.

I felt like Cinderella or the “poor Iittle rich girl” at a ball. Of course it all at all right and they asked me or Judge in America could be tified.

For- tunately the prisons were quite clean, so I didn't miss flowers or a perfumed handkerchief." Short! Knott said he had no ex- periences like these in France, that evening clothes and business suits were just the thing for all occasions, Rut I had a bully time in Lon- jon,” concluded he, “despite all my wk of etiquette, I met some fine syple, including the Lord Mayor."* Here’s How You Can Can Fruits Without Sugar By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. come Copyright, 1999, by The Tr HE preserving days b the Middest of the y housewife, who m at % cents a pound, Om ply 1s necessarily restricted by pocketbook, even if the grocer's bar- rels are a bit fuller than they were a few weeks ago For this housewife, howev Mves in New York, the Departinent of Markets, through Mrs, Louis It.
