thing else. The fashionable folk can
be seen in large numbers at Belmont

ne correct thln to be able to talk
bout the bore race intelligently, in
cHlentallr to know how to dress ap
propriately the race and to make
attendance there are required of every
one who hope to be considered ta the

While the wealthy and aristocratic

lower classes In the metropolis are no
less bus and Joyous over-the opening
of the many ; summer resorts In and
near the city, where they spend their
week-ends or at least some part of
every Saturday and Sunday from now
until September. Of course, the chief
Interest centered In . the opening of
Coney Island, with all of Its old time
features besides a host of new attrac
tions to catch the nickels and dimes of
tha working classes. The Island Is now
lu full swing and as in the past the twn
bis; features of Coney are Dreamland
and Luna Park. But besides these there
are scenlo railways, side shows of every
description and different adaptions of
the monorail idea. Among- the new
features of the Island : will be women
barkers." Dreamland Will employ wo

New Tork will have an additional bor

amount will a reoulre for the minor

be unwise to expend any of .lt for new

For tome year past those who have
chary of Central Park hav tried the
idea of giving the public absolute free
dom as to their conduct, relying on their
appreciation . of the eeauty of . th
Ida . Conauest the 'well-known actress
who Is now plavlnar In "Tha Wolf" at
th I,yrlo theatre, was the ' principal
figure In a unique christening which
took place at the Bronx Zoo X ha other
day. Th director of" the soo asked per-
mission of Miss Conquest to nam -the
baby Canadian grav woir arter ner.
Miss Conquest readily consented and
m mediately sent a silver collar with a
gold name plate to adorn the shaggy
neck of the baby wolf. At the christen
ing the wolf was formally presented to
the actress, and taking the animal - In
her arms she poured a erlass of water
over Its head, navlng, "I christen thee
Ida, and may you have many conquests."
The actress wanted to talc tn wolf
home with her, but it was finally de
cided that It would be better to have
It visit her occasionally for a day at a
time It. is now planned , to hav the
little animal tfslt Miss Conquest in a
few week at the Iroquois hotel wher
the actress will hold a reception for
her. professional and personal friends. .
Josenh Branchl. ' an Italian.' took up
mi . lunii on Kiitn avenue . tne oiner
night and declared himself a kissing bug
of the first magnitude. It was Just at
th time when the big stores were clos
ing; for tha night and the street were
full with salesgirls. .But as for Joseph
ha kissed them as - they cam. First
cam a cunning little blonde. In -dark
Joseph kissed her. ' Then cam a maga
zine cover . girl. 'Joseph kissed her.
Next In Una wis one of those lengthy
effects In black and crimson.- Joseph
kissed her. .Following; the long girl waa
a short. smiling one. , Joseph - kissed
her. Then cam six , more". Josepn
kissed 'em all. Then cam two de
tectives who ehlded th human kissing
bu- for.', working over time. ' and told
hfm' m, -.-nriAr arrt. "Vive
1'amour. ' said Joseph as. In th 'night
court h "was sentenced to' three month
In the House of Refuge. "Yes. It we

the detective as on roan. . ,
New . Tor-kers' are" how wondering ' tf
anyone will hav tha courage to startlo
th Great White "Way by wearing on
of the new sheath gowns, which set
Paris, . ago "a few' 'week ago. wher
every extreme m fashion Is supposed
to be encouraged. Sooner or later these
extreme stvles reach New . Tork and a
few women make their appearance In-
mem. no rir no -one nas emerged in
the new gown,, which are described as
fitting t to the body tighter than the
skin to a arrane. The gowns, are so
olaaslc and. tight-fitting as well as so
transparent that they causa onlooker
to rub their eye in amasement Th
most sensational of the shaath gown
have a devlded skirt showing the out
lines of tha lower limbs. It is expected
that some or the sheath gowns will be
worn by a few actress on th vaude
ville stag in New Tork very aoon. but
whether anyone will dare to venture ont
on Firth avenue or Broadway in tnis
startling garb Is decidedly doubtful.

of taxation. Mr. Rountree quotes the
Manitoba Free Press of Winnipeg,
which' savs that In tha M.r V.r
rade In that city there were 5.000 un
employed men. in . the line of march,
who were clamoring for work, and that
there are fully 10,000 unemployed men
