New York, September. 2, 1915.
The first crisp days of September
find our Avenue taking a new spright
liness, not that it is ever particularly
dull od reserted, but there is a dif
ferent spirit. Summer visitors have
. gone their various ways, ana ew
Yorkers have returned ready to take
up city life again with its endless ac
tivities. The shops are showing the
fall and winter fashions; the dress
making establishments have lost their
lazy calm, and delivery wagons are
loading up and starting off on trips
from shop to home with creations of
furrier, tailor, modiste and shoetmak
er. - '
The Dignity of Tailored Garments
Soft, fluffy things do very well for
warm days; one relaxes and is cool,
happy and delightfully feminine. But
with the first days of fall, the tailor
ed dress or suit is donned with a feel
ing that is almost akin to relief;
American women, especially, find the
tailored- suit or dress . becoming and
satisfying. There is a trimness of
line and a feeling of being well dress
ed that lends her added dignity.
Princess Frocks High in Favor
Strong rivals to hte coat and skirt
are the Princess frocks of serge, gab
owUno nr whiDcord: seree leads.
While trim and straight, these do not
rt.lv the lines of the Prin
cess of some seasons back; but they
are usually belted, sometimes panel
loH and voiced. Belts t)lay an impor
tant Dart this season. Few costumes
but show them; on the Princess they
are often merely half belts, that is,
they extend from side front to side
wv This flat, smooth appearance
in front and back is one of the new
thin season: all pleats ana
cathers are confined over the hips.
Many of the tailored coat suits
hMa nf patent or shiny motor
leather. These ar often ornamented
leather for the shanks; they blended
beautifully with the dark brown mix
ture of the tweed and were really the
chief attraction of the suit. These
however, are decided novelties and
probably cannot be purchased sepa
rately as yet. Colored buttons are
used sparingly; one or two at the clos
ing of coat or blouse, or one or two
n the girdle are sufficient.
A Word or Two on Collars
The open throat for general wear
is still a favorite and will probably
hold its own until well into the winter.
High collars, however, are being ad
vocated by many of the leading dress
makers; not the perfectly straight
choker or Btock of a few years back,
the same material as suit or dress,
piped sometimes with suede, patent
leather, or a vivid color; the effect is
smart and attractive. Buttons, too,
lend their aid in bringing in the
bright touch of contrast that is re
quired this season in our smart aarK
costumes.
" There are some wonderfully at
tractive buttons of galalith, mother
of pearl' trimmed with color, bright
green, blue or rose, and numberless
other novelties in form and coloring.
On an imported suit of tweed display-roi-ontlv
in one of our swart shops.
I noticed some extremely smart but
tons of woven leather, with loops ol
. w
necessarily, although these are smart
and becoming to many, but a collar
closed at the top and open to below
the curve of the throat. These are
called "A" collars and are far more
more youthful and becoming to most
than the old time high collar. Many
women prefer the high collar for
street wear, with tailored suit and
hat, and even if it does not become
universal, it will share favor with
th low, open collar during the winter
season.
The New. Colored Blouse , '
One of the innovations of the sea
son is .the colored blouse or separate
waist with the tailored suit. This
fad is probably the outcome of the
little chemisettes of pink and blue
that we have been wearing with the
taffeta frock and serge dress. I saw
a particularly attractive combination
at one of the tea rooms the other
afternoon; it was a blouse of pale
rose colored crepe de Chine, a shade
between coral and old rose, and was
worn with a dark blue serge suit.
This blouse was made with tucks at
the shoulders to give fulness over the
bust and was trimmed down the front
with a graduated frill of the crepe;
the blouse closed with round nickel
buttons. Around the high choker
collar was twisted a piece of black
satin ribbon, above which, reaching al
most to the chin, showed the points
of a stiff white under collar. An
other suit of creamy yellow yellow
crepe embroidered with old rose silk.
This fad of. the contrasting blouse
is practical and becoming and should
appeal to many.'
DAISY CALLED PERIL
Pretty Flower Menace to Fields, Say
Agricultural Experts
The ox-eye daisy is one of the most
handsome and popular flowers of the
thistle family, but when once estab
lished it is also the worst of weeds,
troublesome and hard to eradicate.
Probably the best way of clearing it
front meadows is to mow it alter
blossoming and before the seeds ma
ture, and curing it for hay, says H. S.
Hammond, of the Oregon Agricultural
College Botany department Since
the plant blossoms eight or ten days
before maturing its seed it is easy
to cut it while, in the best stage for
hay, at which time stock eat it fairly
well when it is nicely cured.
"In many eastern states,'' says Pro
fessor Hammond, "it has almost com
plete possesion of pastures making
them quite white when in,.bloom. It
spreads chiefly by its seeds, scattered
in hay, manure and various farm
seeds. It has a perennial root stock
from which it continues to propagate
itself until killed. Many of these root
stocks will die when the plants are
mowed during the blossoming period.
"The plant is shallow rooted and
may be readily destroyed from mead
ows and fields by plowing followed by
cultivation. Rotation of crops offers
a good means ' of riddance. If the
meadow is to be continued repeated
mowings and close pasturing by sheep
to prevent blossoming may be continu
ed until the plants die down.
"People who are not yet troubled
with this plant should be on their
guard against its introduction. When
isolated plants appear about the fields
and premises they should be dug up
before they get established and begin
to scatter seed."
operate with our Christian brethren
of the other churches to any extent
they desire, or to do the same with the
citizens of our city but this church has
never loaned iself to the self-advertising
schemes of would-be politic
ians, nor do they intend to do so;
hence we will thank the editor to in
form us through his columns who has
butted into this matter and given it
a turn that I am certain none of the
executives of the First Baptist church
will stand for. The matter of the ar
rangement of the meeting with the
Anti-Saliin league on October 17 rests
in the hands of the officers of this
church, in co-operation with the other
churches of the city, and we hope our
friends with special political adver
tising to do will select some other
more creditable way of doing it; or
will at least give us the grace of op
portunty chance for a refusal..

FLOWER NAMES SOUGHT
WHO'S HIT NOW?
Letter in Contemporary Rouses Cur
iosity of Local Folk
A letter that appeared in the Enterprise-
on Tuesday of this week has
aroused considerable speculation in
the county seat as to just whom is
being "hit" by the remarks therein.
The Courier, in an endeavor to dis
cover the inwardness of the commun
ication, called the Rev. W. T. Milliken,
and asked him for details. All that
Mr. Milliken would answer was that
"anybody who behaves themselves
will be welcome at the meeting."
The letter, which has aroused cur
iosity in the community, is as follows:
Oregon City, Aug. 30. (Editor of
the Enterprise) In accordance with
its annual custom the First Baptist
church invited representatives of the
Anti-Saloon league to present their
cause and to speak upon the Oregon
"dry law' at the First Baptist church
on October 17. We are willing to co-
hands a bunch of the flowers. I stop
ped and asked the children what they
called those flowers. After some
little hesitation they said, 'Kisses.' I
asked them why they called them
kisses, and they either would not or
could not tell. But as I went on I
heard the elder child say, "That is a
botany man, and he is always ask
ing why.'
"You can not always tell why.
Sometimes you just do things. A
mountain name like mountain misery,
at once makes a strong appeal to the
people. Common names indicate the
way in which the plants have affect
ed the people who live there, whether
they are conscious of that or not.
"Imagine the thoughts of a person
going to the meadows and seeing the
mountain grass filled with shooting
stars. I have seen as many as half
a million shooting stars in one Sierra
meadow. Now, when that plant be
comes known it will become as famous
as the edelweiss." ,
Government Wants "Common Titles"
for Wild Plants Sent In
"We must have more common
names, more folk names, for the mul
titude of flowering plants in our Nat
ional Parks," says Prof. W. L. Jepson,
of the University of California. "By
a folk name, 1 mean a name that has
been given to the plant by the folk,
by the people who have lived amongst
the plants, and know them from their
point of view. Of course the botanist
has named practically all of the
plants in the parks. He has given
them scientific names, but these very
rarely make an appeal to the people
at large. When once you have folk
names, then the interst in th flower
fields will be . very much greater.
Take mountain misery, ,for example,
which is found in the Yosemite Park
and the Sequoia Park., That at once
shows the flavor of the soil. There
are many such names, but many more
must be invented either by us or by
the people who live in the mountains
or live in the parks.
"I was coming down out of the
mountains on a trip, and I had been
studying what we botanists call Cal
andrinia caulescens var. menziesii, and
I met some children that had in their

Mayor Puts Ban on Midnight Sessions
of Pentacostal Faith 1
As a result of many complaints
which have been received from citi
zens living on the hill, Mayor Jones of
Oregon City has forbidden the holding
of services in the Pentacostal taber
nacle at Mountain View between the
hours of half past ten at night and
sunrise. Heretofore, it is said, the
members of this sect have held meet
ings at midnight and even later, and
the enthusiasm of the worshippers
has disturbed residents on all sides.
The late meetings have also been con
ducive to more or less rowdyism on
the part of boys in the district, and
a number of serious conflicts have
been only narrowly avoided.
The mayr's action was tpken after
two delegations one representing the
citizens, and the other representing
the tabernacle folk had discussed
the matter with the city executive.
Folice protection has been promised
the worshippers. :
