ONSIDERABLY more than 1,000,- 000 people can be seated in the amusement places within the City of New York.

The average vaudeville house capacity is 1,600, burlesque 1,400, and productions over 1,300 each. The average for theatres of all kinds is over 700 seats each, with a total seat- ing capacity close to 700,000. This is for theatres alone. In buildings other than theatres, all of which are used more or less for amusements at times, there were over 500 conventions held last year. The < advantages of the metropolis as a convention city are growing rapidly more apparent because of the many attractions which the city has to offer in business, in science, in art, {n education and in all kinds of usements. Madison Square Garden and the Grand Centra! Palace are known throughout the length and breadth of the country. Ten to twelve thousand people are often entertained at ono time within the walls of Madison Square Garden, and alinost every day in the year a convention or eRhibit of some kind is in progress at the Palace, ‘The largest motion picture house 4n the world, with a seating eapacity of 5.300, is the Capitol Th , which alone cost $5,000,000, The Hippodrome eats %.200, jis stage alone is Mnuch larger than many of the the- in suburban towns and cities. ‘al new theatres with seating acity in excess of 8,500 each ar famous strip of land in Man- a few blocks on adway from Madison rele has world White Way.” sau 2 pilerim, ir © pow being built, and more are pro- gocted in parts of the city.

By Fay Stevenson Copytlght, 1921, by the Presa Tublishing Co. (The New York Ryenine World ) OW shall the Amercian woman H cut ‘em—short or long? Shall they be knee-length, four inches below the knee, eight inches from the ground or reach discreetly to the ankles? This is the question which is mak ing many a little woman's head twirl round and round. Paris says they are to be longer In fact they're wearing them to the ankle and longer right now In response to hundreds of letters from women anxious to plan their fall costumes, fashion magazines an- nounce that skirts definitely and un- anestionably are to be longer. Bight nehes off the ground for street clothes and two or four for the eve- ning is fashion's latest edict. And yet when I talked with Willard H. Bond, directur for Mr. Samuel Ball Zalud, New York's famous costume designer, about American women wearing longer skirts Mr. Bond smiled and said “Eventually but not now." You mean that the American woman has enjoyed her short skirts too much to go back to the old dust- sweeping trailer?” L asked. “T mean that the American woman certainly has appreciated the short skirt to its utmost," smilingly point- ed out Mr. Bond, “and it will take time for her to get her skirts down to length. Although Mr. Zal- dj writes from Paris that they ara, wearing them almost to the ground it may take several seasons hefore America gets them that long, “Of course, the American woman will never go back to the dust-trail- ing period,” continued Mr, Bond, “and T have a slight suspicion that in a short time skirts will be made a mat: ter of individuality. There is @ cer tain type of woman, the flapper type, © slender little girlish woman, who looks splendidly in a short skirt. She woukl be lost if enveloped in long skirts. But heaven knows we seen some far from pleasing sights among the women who are too tallor too fat to indulge in knee-length a dis the skirt Since the Americ&n woman is in- pendent and knows what best tits her type, I predict that the time is coming when every woman will set her own fashion. The length of her skirt will be adapted to her figure he will glance over the latest styles from Paris and pick out certain Iengths of skirts and sleeves which are becoming and so arrange hor own models . he tat woman's best charm 1s her well shaped, dimpled arma, then why should she wear a long, tight- fitting sleeve simply because fashion demands it? The thinking woman won't, And so it will be with high and low necks and long and short skirts, Fashion is going to be a mat- ter of individuality, a matter of every woman being well dressed and becom- ingly dressed to fit her own individual style" “But what of the woman who has her scissors in the air, undecided where to cut for this coming season I asked “Cut about three or four inches longer than her summer clothes and she will be safe,” replied Mr. Bond. “Tt's golng to take time to get Ameri- can women's skirts back to NOR- MALCY.” i Can ‘You Beat It ! ate RS By Maurice Ketten How to Reduce Your Weight Diet Suggestions and Answers to Readers’ Questions By Doris Doscher. by the Press Publishing © binations and Ryening World.) being faithful in yor after-bath rub dred and one pounds inay make you (Tlie New York underweight ‘QUESTIONS. 1.

YOUNG man who is engaged L \ to marry a girl is shocked to death that she 1s going to ° have her hair bobbed, and does a few other such fashtonable things.
