INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CITIES

Hew Yorker Builds Bungalow on Skyscraper’s Roof .' 1 -? - • 11 ■" "h ■-—■ • rJBW YORK.—Life in a oungalow in the New York theater district is the jl experiment which is to w;tried out by Earl Carroll, comjoser of “So ! Letty,” and his bride, who was Miss Marcelle Hontdbflt, a Young French

actress who has been four years in this country. The bungalow-* is nd§ only in the theater district, but is 20 stories up' In the air, having been built on the ,roof of the Godfrey building, at Sev*«nth avenue Aid Forty-ninth street. The cornerstone was laid ait midnight _ recently with appropriate ceremonies. Thebungalow will be large in order to permit the young couple to entertain. A Chinese dining room is*to be decorated with a series of painted

silk panels by Witold Gordon. Italian gardens, with waterfalls and fountains, will surround the bungalow. The gardens are to include a little grape arbor, where Mr. Carroll will cultivate this fruit in soil brought from California. It is his theory that grapes grown on vines 20 floors above the rock surface Of Manhattan will have a flavor more delicate than Amontillado wine r California soil will be spread over the gravel roof, and besides grapes, plants of many kinds will bloom in t£e gardens. A tennis and handball court are to complete the conveniences of the aerial home. When.his new home is ready, Mr. Carroll can write and sell operas without the delay of coming downtown. Mrs. Carroll may also shop with the. ' same ease, thus spending her devoted husband’s royalties without the least delay, if Mr. and Mrs. Carroll like their' new home —and home was* never like this —the roofs of Broadway are expected to blossom into* numerous other aerial estates, whose ample gardens may reduce the cost of living. Boston Tree Waits Long for Its Child Planter BOSTON.— Like the toy dog and the tin soldier of Eugene Field’s “Little Boy Blue,” there stands beside the office of the trolley car starter at Oak square, Brighton,‘a sturdy tree which, the car men say, has been looking many

her what she had found she opened the bag and drew out what appeared to be the slip of a plant. Sfie explained that she had found this on a seat in the car, and that, having a garden, she would like to plant the slip In it if the owner could not be found. <- Mallard told her she had better keep it, but she replied that such an act would be wrong if it were possible to find the owner. She forced the bag and slip into the starter’s hands, and left him. She had taken only a few steps, however, ’when she returned. — r —- “The plant will die if it is not put into the ground,” she told Mallard. “Well, you can plant it righTln there,” said Mallard, indicating a spot near the corner of the office. * Talking to the plant ah if it were a child, the little girl thrust one end of it into the ground. Then, telling it she would come for it, she departed. As the years passed Mallard continued to look for her in vain. When he died, several years ago, the plant had become a sturdy young tree. It leans toward the fence in such a manner that its. branches overhang the sidewalk. This position, the car men say, is due to its constant watching for tbe child that planted it. Battle With Timber Wolf in Chicago’s Wilds CHICAGO. —Bang! And another timber wolf bit the dust. It was in the wilds of North Hamlin avenue. Among the precipitous flat buildings the December chill was sweeping. Hardy West siders, despite an ominous «ray

sky, hit the trail for the corner drug store and bought a good flve-cent cigar to trim off the noon repast. Hark! A low growl. J. H. Fennell, who lives at 720 North Hamlin avenue, looked In the fence corner. A shaggy form loitered there. In a moment Frank Fennell, a brother, arrived on the scene. “That’s a funny dog,” said J. H. “Dog your great-uncle’s off hind foot!” said Frank. “That’s a wolf.” Frank bore a blanket and a rope.

He threw the blanket over the wolf’s head. The wolf dodged and sank Its teeth three times in the forearm of J) H. before Frank could hogtie the brute. A thousand neighbors and 9,000 children hurried to view the spectacle. Presently came two detectives. Lupo meanwhile had been tossed into the bam for safekeeping. The detectives leaned their trusty weapons on a window sill and squinted becomingly. The crowd tensed up like a man waiting for the other shoe to hit the floor. The women held their ears. Bang! And another timber wolf bit the dust. _____ . ■ > ... y- 7 ■' ! Science Routs Third-Degree Methods in New York NEW YORK. —Science has routed the old “third-degree” method of solving murder mysteries in this city. With the arraignment of two Italians charged with the murder of an eleven-year-old girl two scientists have accora-

were sent to the laboratory for examination. The chemi’st at once made tests and discovered blood spots both in the nails and clothing. About the neck of the girl was a strap with which she hud been strangled. The detectives noted the strap had been Tartly cut an id partly torn from another piece. On the body was a light-colored substance. They searched all the cellars in the neighborhood and found Id an areaway next to the cellar occhpiqd by the two men another piece of strap. Both pieces were sent to the scientists. In the cellar occupied by the men the/detectives found ,a yellow writing pad such as is used by schoolchildren. Siweepings from the floor were sent to the laboratory with the girl’s clothing, wome of her hair and a pi e ce of doth cut from the top of a mattress. Dp to that time the only evl4fence was a statement of the son of one of the men treat his father had a belt like the strap, and evidence that the girl owned a pacjl like that found in the cellar. The microscopical examination showed that the two pieces of strap had been t.ne piece f that the girl’s clothing and hair [contained dust identical with that taken from the cellar floor; that the substance on her body was Identical with tfce substance found on the mattress! This was identified as banana. The autopsy showed, that-the girl bad eaten Jfrult Upon getting* this report the entire case was placed before the grand ‘jury, w4t*vl>, .after returning the indictments, highly commended the work of the scientists —police.

years for a child who, when the tree was a mere twig, thrust it into the ground and told it she would return and take it away. The story that has been handed down like a tradition among the car men, is to the effect that 15 years ago, when the office of starter was held by a man named Mallard, a pretty and daintily clad little girl, holding a small paper bag, approached him. “Do you take care of lost articles?” she asked him. When he asked

plished what the detective force failed to do—secured the necessary evidence to convict. Under the old regime when the two men were arrested on suspicion they would haye been taken to police heudquarUers and questioned for hours by detectives in rqlays, and if they stood up under the; inquiry they would have been releaseidl. In this instance, * however, few questions were asked. Instead their finger nails were clipped and the clippings and their clothes

THE EVENING RENSSELAER, IND.

For those Who Journey Southward

The modern woman may not know just where she is going but she is most earnestly on her way. She chooses to add to her natural vocation of lioraemaWng, the pursuit of art or business, politics or charity. One might think she would have no time left to devote to clothing herself beautifully. But whatever the direction in which she is going—it is not away from lovely apparel'. Specialists design styles for her, she chooses with discrimination, and fashions are made. / Above is one of the pew 4ingergj| dresses and a hat and who will soon be But the dress is interesjimjpto everyone because It is good style cpr dinner or evening wear anywhere and it anticipates what is coming next summer. The skirt is made with a pointed tunic that is shortened at each side, displaying five flounces on the underskirt. Each flounce is edged with val lace. The tunic Is beautifully decorated \yith needlework in a delicate embroidery that outlines a border edged with val lace. The same decoration appears on the bodice which is gathered over a plain net foundation. It has a round neck and long sleeves that taper to the wrist. Deep cuffs fasten with small crochet buttons on the un~

Hats Committed to Sports Wear

Someone who knows says that the restless American never stays in one spot longer than two hours. Now how is the lady who is liable to be snatched away at any moment, in one direction or another, going to provide herself with hats suited to all climes? Day after tomorrow she may find herself in the lisle of Pines, or. possibly she may be watching winter sports in Canada. Those clever milliners whd ! do so much thinking for Hie lady of fashion have seized upon the sports bat to help solye the problem. Three superb answers to the question of wherewithal shall we elOthe our heads are shown in the picture above. They are made of materials that are woru every? where and are therefore noncommittal as to climate, but they leave no room for doubt as to their indorsement of Sports. They were made with an eye to the southward, but you may go where you will in any of them. There is a hat of black patent leather (or something that looks like it) in a narrow-brimmed sailor shape, with; A soft top crojra. It has a'band of black and white checked silk about the side crown and a vivid red rose at the front This rose cau defy the frost, for it* petals are protected with transparent celluloid. .

A small cape collar, edged with lace, is gathered into the neck and the girdle is of net bordered with ribbon. The dress is entirely in white. —-

Pack in Paper Bags.

In traveling you can pack the greatest quantity of things in the heavy paper envelopes used by the stores in T|tttvering veils, ribbons, lace, and so tSksavp all the available ones,’ and preparing for a trip pack and laroT these envelopes for stockings, gloves, handkerchiefs and the like. Things packed in this way can be readily found when wanted.

New Silks.

For the woman in search of an unusual silk for her gown or a distinctive lining for her handsome winter coat (and linings are important this season) there are now pussy-willow taffetas which will just serve the purpose. The designs are queer and oriental — delightfully unusual. The colorings are delightful, and as the-eilks are 40 inches wide they will cut to advantage.

forms a background for two c»rds done* in silk embroidery on the side crown. The third hat Is covered with Tokyo crepe and a band of uncut velvet stops before it reaches qbite around the crown to make way for little straw buttons which hint of spring.

Serge Frocks Are Popular.

The separate frock of navy-serge will not lose any of its Vjpularity. it is to be found mostly in princess styles or made on line* that give the shoul-der-to-hem effect Jumper frocks of serge to be worn with separate blouses of Georgette prepe are very handsome. One buttons down the back with black bone terracotta georgette crepe and still flaps extend outward over the hips, heavily embroidered with terracotta Silk. The corselet effect is gained by pointed yokes on these serge frocks which point upward on the blouse and downward on the full circular skirt
