Miss Loeb, as President of the Boar‘ of Child Welfare, was Chairman of the meeting held by that body as its part im the “safety week"’ campaign now en in New York State. It was, ac- @ording to those behind the drive, the most enthusiastic meeting held in this @ity since the campaign began, ‘The speakers included Dr, Franklin ‘Wells, medical examiner of the Equit- able Life Assurance Society; Charles Mr. Williams declared that on Oct. 8 and 9, last year, there were 21 deaths by accident in the City of New York. “Sunday,” he continued, ‘the first day of ‘Safety Week,’ there was not an accidental death. Monday, there were 2, a suving of 19 in the first two days of the campaign.” If this ratio is kept up it would mean a raving of nearly 3,500 lives a year in this city alone, W. Price of the Safety Week Commit- tee; Arthur Williams, former food ad- ministrator, who is President of the Safety Institute of America; Richard E. Mayne, who read an original poem dedicated to the 1,054 children who lost their lives in New York last -year, and Elbert H, Gary, Chairman of the Safe- ty Week Campaign. All the speakers paid tribute to Four main causes of accidental deaths of children—and there were 1,054 in this city last year, more than half under five years—are, according to Mr, Price, in the order of their important drowning, burns, falls THO DALAT ONT BONWIT TELLER & CO. | he Specially Shop of Orginations FIFTH AVENUE AT 38™ STREET. y Gs Fashion Proclaims This the Season of fe FUR CAPE SILHOUETTE: Straight COLLAR: Crushed SHOULDERS: Slim HEM: Uneven Alt the elegance and excellence that characterize Bonwit Teller & Co. fur fashions flower to perfection in this superb collection of fur capes, presenting this smartest of all fur fashions in all the smartest furs.

It is, ‘I'll do everything in my power that no accident will come to my child this week.’ “This one week is only an experl- ment.

After telling of the successful fight to get legislation providing mon- ey with which to give the widows financial ald, she sald: “We started the employment bu- reau because we don't believe the children of the widow should be just messenger boys or just sell papers. We don’t want any ‘blind alley’ jobs for them. They will have to be the bread winners of the family, and no job is too good for the child of the widow.” Garments like these are rarely to be purchased at their prices, especially for women of large figure.

(Third Floor, Madison Avenue section) The New Modes in Silk Petticoats With the advent of the longer skirt the silk petticoat assumes a new and definite impor- tance—an importance which expresses itself im a great diversity of ways, all of them interesting. For street and sports wear there are petti- coats of radium silk, crepe meteor, satin and silk jersey; for evening, and for wearing with the elaborate tea-gown or negligee, there are daintier confections, in which lace plays a prominent part. Many of these are from Paris, but many more were originated in B. Altman &-Co.’s own ateliers. An espe- cially interesting feature of these petticoats is the fitted waistline—a feature which is also introduced in all petticoats made to order in the establishment.
