Some braided frogs to match this silk decorated the front opening, which was secured with gold buttons. Similar buttons gave a finishing touch to both collar and cuffs. This design again showed a remarkably deep belt of the material, which crossed the back and disappeared into the side seams. Braid to match Invariably looks well on Bhantung. And In one Instance a wide military braid in shantung color was piped narrowly with black satin, giving an excellent effect.

The large natural horn buttons accorded well with 'this trimming. A cotton version of shantung indistinguishable from the Bllken variety save on very close inspection was used In the making of a wrap carried out all in the self color, seen recently at a specialty shop. The wide revers were of tussore colored satin edged with braid. This coat fastened over to one side with a row of buttons covered with the material, further rows of the same buttons outlining the side seams. In another Instance a very attractive decoration was formed by some large rose-colored silk handkerchiefs spotted with white, and having hemstitched edges.

ThC3o were cut up to form large revers and a big square sailor collar. Deep cuffs were evolved in the same manner. Wlth few exceptions the latest designs in motor coats show the kimono cut on the shoulder, and this, with the huge revers, deep collars and cuffs and big buttons, Imparts an air of plcturesque-ntsi. even to the most unpretentious model. One chnrmlng example recently seen had large revers cut in ono with a collar that terminated at the back In a long point weighted with a tassel.

This, as well as the wido cuffs, was of navy blue satin with a medium tussore colored spot. A lint bow of dark blue ribbon finished the neck In front, and huge mother of pearl buttons with navy blue rims formed a fastening. In another simple coat a dark blue and white spotted foulard was utilized fur the big revers and cuffs. In this case in place of the Brobdlgnaglan buttons was an oval plaque, embroidered and braided In soft shades, catching the coat over to one side In front. A model In which the good effect -of tho hanging back panel was exemplified also had tho sides cut and arranged In a very smart manner with strapped seams to give tho appearance of Inset panels.

The deep belt fastened over In front with a round-ended tab secured by flat white pearl buttons. Tho collar In this case was of a square sailor shape In black and white striped silk with a Rev.

Dr. James JI. Farrar, In the First Reformed Church (Old First), Seventh avenue and Carroll street. Seats had been jYesorved for the students In tho center of 'the church, and, in cap and gown, the Vung women made as attractive picture 's they rose to receive the kindly words of admonition and advice addressed to Ithtm by the pastor. The musical service I.Was especially elaborate, consisting of a icontralto solo and two anthems by the quartet, whllo'the concluding organ selee-t Ions was themarch from "Alda," superbly played on -the grand organ.

Dr. Farrar took his text from St. Matthew, "Thou shalt love the Lord God with all thy heart, and with all soul, and with all thy mind." Addressing himself to a body of students Ihe particularly dwelt on tho words "with 'all thy mind." Love must be translated Into service, and tho service of trained mind and Intellect, ho said, waB necessary to accomplish God's purposes In the world. God needed the service of well-trained minds, and made use of them wheter they were dedicated or not, but the great rewards came to those who consecrated their talents to His work. He Instanced the case of Cyrus, King of Persia, who brought his great mind to the subjugation of Babylon by turning aside the flow of the Euphrates as an example of undedlcatcd service doing the divine work, while within tho city Daniel, the great prophet, with highly trained intellect, was reading and translating the handwriting on tho wall at the feast of Belshazzar, and doing God's work with special consecration.

"You young women," said Dr. Farrar, "are going out Into varied paths of life In tho world's work, and God will use you for good whether you will Jt or not; but It would be far nobler to work along with God In all efforts for the betterment and uplifting of humanity." The modern demands of women for equal rights and for equal education with men bring with them corresponding responsibilities, which must be faced, and corresponding difficulties which must be overcome, Dr. Farrar continued. To meet these, women must add to their mental attainment a strong physical body with red blood In their veins, to aid the gray matter In their brains. But the segment of the clrclo love and service with all their minds will not make a complete and harmonious whole without tho remainder of tho circle love with tho heart and soul tho development of tho whole spiritual and physical being, which will enable them to accomplish all God's purposes and bring to them at last the divine approval and the "Well done, good and faithful servant; cuter thou into the Joy of thy Lord!"

A Lingerie Scarf For Lingerie Frock A scarf or shoulder wrap of some sort is an indispensable accessory of the diaphanous costume this season. Sometimes the frock is matched by a scarf of similar material, as in this instance.

This was served on the piazzas, Mrs. Wcller being assisted in her hospitality by Mrs. Comfort and Miss Ircno Comfort of New York, and by a bevy of young matrons and young girls of tho Goshen colony. After luncheon the members were driven to the home of Mrs, Alloway, regent of a local chapter D.

111 Good ribbons or silks may be cleaned by spreading thickly with French chalk and pressing between blotting paper for a few days beneath a heavy book. Or they may often be washed quite successfully, though In the case of expensive silks, which might be worth Bending to the cleaners, it Is advisable to experiment with a small piece first. A satisfactory way of washing is as follows: Make a lukc-warm lather of mild soap, dip the ribbon in this and keep drawing out of the lather through the hand until clean without crumpling more than must be, or, In the case of a large piece of silk or a vest or blouse, spread on a table and sponge gently but thoroughly with the soapy water, which for colored silks may have a llttlo salt dissolved in it. Rinse well in several supplies of tepid water, the last containing a tablcspoonfu! of methylated spirit to each quart. White silk may bo left in this for a few minutes.

If slight stiffening Is required, a little of the gum arable solution already described may be used, or water In which rice has been boiled, or a cup of milk added to tho rinsing water. After rinsing, the ribbon or silk should be spread on a smooth towel, pulled Into shape, folded in tho towel and icft until nearly dry, then Ironed with a hot Iron; a piece of muslin being placed over the ribbon nt first, but removed for the final smoothing when quite dry. THEATER TOPICS The revival of "Pinafore" at the Casino is limited to four weeks. The scries of supplementary revivals for the summer will Include "Patience," by Gilbert and Sullivan; "Die Flcdcrmaus" (The Bat), by Johann Strauss; "The, Plrutes of Penzance," by Gilbert and Sullivan, and "Hoffmann's by Offenbach, English and Gorman works, furnishing variety. After the conclusion of "Pinafore" at the Casino Theater, Marie Cahill and Daniel V.

Arthur, her husband and manager, are to sail for London. The object of the visit is to meet Franz Lehar, composer of "The Merry Widow, to consult regarding a now piece to be used ns a starring vehicle by Miss Cahill. The Rex Amusement Company, which was recently Incorporated at Albany, puts on its first play this fall. It is called "Tho Night and depicts the corruption of political and social conditions in the Burley Tobacco District. Tho question has been handled so frankly, the localities are so recognizable and tho character drawing is so personal and relentless that tho author, who is well known In Kentucky, has not affixed his name.

"Tho Night Rider" will, therefore, make its debut in New York unsponsored. After Its Broadway run tho play will be taken through the Burley District. It will opun early in September. Mile.

This new number Is a dance, which did not belong to tho original production, but which is now introduced in an entirely legitimate and suitable manner. It Is a variation of "Tho Turkey Trot," and is done by John Sla-vln in female costume, Ada Sterling and a chorus of thirty-two girls. Of all th slides and odd mirth generators in Luna Park this summer, none attracts more people than the new Helter Skelter, one of tho features of the Grand Canyon. Ono of the reasons for Its popularity is that it not only furnishes endless fun for those who do the sliding, I but is equally amusing for those who are content to look on.

die tells us In the same letter. "But do not mix up tho Stone House (of Gowanus) with what glories belong to other houses." Again I ask her who of us has been liilxins up tho Stone House of Uo-wanun with any other stono houso except it be herself in her phantom as sumptions about Miss Eraser's alleged errors? Where Mrs. Bangs Seems to 3e Mis taken. In a previous letter Mrs. Bangs very gravely tells us "the ground In the Go wanus locality can be appropriately hon ored, but tho Cortelyou House cannot, meaning by tho "Cortelyou House" the original Veehto house or old stone house of Gowanus, and the reason sho gives for this strange conclusion is that th-' Cortclyous, who bought the old Vechte use long after the Battle of Island, was fought around it, and after the Revolution ended, wero lories and i not patriots! Now what has that got do with our case, whether the Cortel-1 yous wero tories or patriots? Does sil'i I suppose for a minute that the patriotic movement now crowing in Brooklyn for the preservation of the Old ono House of Gowanus and the sacred rround tu'ound it, which Miss Eraser's books i have done so much to help, is simply to honor any mere Cortelyou or other old family of Brooklyn? If she doe she would better drop the idea at once, frr it is eminently absurd.

We do not, care a fig for any cf the eld families that had no connection with the old stone bouse till long lifter the occurrence of the immortal events that happened there. Our object Is simply to honor our patriots and hcroe3 of the Revolution in our first great battlo as a nation, wdio fought or fell on this sacred ground at our very doors, around this old stone house, on tills old historic Vechte Farm, and who. as I have elsewhere said, "In their fallin-; saved our nation at its horning. 1 therefore trust that, we have now reached Ihe end of what might be celled a little historic comedy of errors, confusions and irrelcvnncles: but in saying this I must also say that I shall certainly welcome the appearance of Mrs. Panes' forthcoming book on the history of New Utrecht with great interest, and hope it prove to be as good a contribution lo the popular history of our great borough as Mis3 Eraser's books on Gowanus, and we certainly owe It to all our literary women to meet their work.i with appreciative encouragement and nothing worse, than true and fair criticism.

Bleecker Bangs' Criticism 1 of Miss Fraser's Tale of Old Stone House at Cowanus. Charles M. Higgins, In answering the ciiticlsms of Mrs. Bangs concerning the accuracy of certain facts connected with the original ownership of the Old Stone House of Gowanus, has delved deep Into historical lore of old Brooklyn, and presents them In an Interesting letter, which follows: Since answering the first criticisms of Mrs. Bangs in my letter of April 22, published in the Eagle of April 27, I have carefully noted her two subsequent criticisms, the last of which was published in the Eagle of yesterday, May 8, and I must say that so fur as the points for which Mrs.

Hangs has been contending are concerned the whole matter seems to be getting mixed up in a rather ridiculous manner, something like a tempest in a teapot, and is practically "much ado ubout nothing." The chief trouble with Mrs. Bangs from the outset has been that she mado the rather absurd mistake of criticising a historical work "The Old Stone House of Gowanus," by Miss Fraser, before sho read it, and even acknowledged when she made her criticism that she had not read it! She has been, therefore, all along attacking phantoms of her own assumption and Imputing statements to Miss Fras- Fads and Fancies Of Fashion There Is an unprecedented vogue for white millinery and flowers with stalks and leaves, as well as blossoms, are entirely white and are used to deck pure White or black hats. The smart little coat add3 tho finishing touch to the frock designed for outdoor wear. A charming costume made for an Important out-of-town function was of Bilk veiling broadly striped In black, pale gray and saxe blue, which veiled a pale gray satin underskirt. The hlgh-walstcd bodice had a yoke of white net, tho kimono sleeves and bodice being In a black net with an applique of blue silk thread "and narrow white laco worked over it.

The striped veiling was tucked at the Bides and went straight down to tho feet, adding length to the figure, and the was swathed round with a black satin ribbon. Over this dainty Irock was worn a bolero in saxe blue taffeta lined with the striped veiling and had short oleeves, while two narrow panels of embroidered taffetas went down ach side of tho skirt and completed a Very charming frock. Another example of the effectiveness of the Btrlpe was seen recently In a deep pink marquisette with a thin black Btrlpe. The bodice had two rcvers cf tiroad black and white striped slllt, and the same silk bordered the elbow Sleeves, which were mado In tucked white net, and this also composed the yoke, the high waistline being outlined in black silk. Blue and beige are the colors that arc most In evidence In Paris this season.

The blue Is a cobalt shade and combined with white Is particularly favored by the modish milliners. In tho present styles the back of the dress Is frequently of considerable more Importance than tho front. The perfectly loose-hanging flat train is seen on many French models, and hangs right away from the rather tight skirt, giving a very curious effect. This loose floating panel Is still used on short tailor cr.s-tumeg. In the case of evening frock it springs sometimes from below the shoulders, and although It is quite a separate affair from the dress and 13 fastened to the skirt by cabochoti3 of embroidery or topes.

er's books which will not be found In them, and also imputing to Miss Fraser the gross ignorance of confounding the Jacques Cortelyou house at the Narrows with tho so-called Jacques Cortelyou house at Gowanus, which, of course, she was never guilty of. Now nil thjs clearly shows that It would be a good Idea for a critic to read and study first what she attempts to criticise, as it is a recognized good practice for a Judge to first try the case before he gives his decision. There Were, Several Jacques Cortel- yous. Now, Mrs. Bangs, as we have seen, has a good deal to say ail along about Jacques Cortelyou, but In order that your readers may not get somewhat confused and tired of this wholo controversy it would be well to have overyono bear in mind that thero were several Jacques Cortel-yous, grandfathers, fathers, sons and grandsons, and that what we might call the original Jacques Cortelyou built a rough stone house at tho Narrows, below Fort Hamilton, in the town of New Utrecht, about the same time that the original Nicholas Vcchte built the line historic Stone House at Gowanus, in l(il9, at what is now Third street and Fifth avenue.

At the time of the battlo of Long Island, vAugust 27, a grandson of this original Jacques Cortelyou, also named Jacques Cortelyou. owned the house at the Narrows, and a grandson of the original Nicholas Vcchte owned the Old Stone House of Gowanus. and waB likewise named Nicholas Vcchte. Now, several days before the battle of Long Island General Howe and the English army landed at Gravesentl Bay, near the Jacques Cortelyou houso and took possession of this house, but there was no battlo around this house, as the English were In overwhelming forco at the landing and had practically no opposition In their occupation of New I'trecht and Flatbush at that time. The groat battle of Long Island, however, really centered, as I have before shown, on tho old Vcchte farm at Gowanus, as all the three big divisions of tho great British force centered or concentrated there.

This the engagement between the Hessians and General Sullivan was at the very center cf tho whole field of battle at Battlo Pass, in the Prospect Park, which was near, or on, tho northeast corner of tho old Nicholas Vcchte farm, and Sullivan's soldiers retreated from the Hessians down the old Porte road past the old stone house and over the Gowanus Creek, and this Porte road was the northern boundary of the Vcciite farm. How Lord Cornwnllis Made His Advance. Lord Cornwallis advanced from the north along Gowanus road toward the Vechte farm, and seized the Porte road and the old stone house, and General Grant advanced from the south In the opposite direction and approached the Vechte farm on Its southern boundary thus pinning Lord Stirling and his Maryland troops between Grant and Cornwallis on the north and south, with Do Heisfer on the east, anil Gowanus Creek on the west thus finally centering the whole battlo on tho Vechte farm, where tho last and most Important engagement was fought around the old Vechte stone house Itself, as already fully shown. We have thus now seen that at the time of tho battle tho old stone house of Gowanus was owned by Nicholas Iicchte. grandson of thn Nicholas Vechte who built.

It in lG.ifl, and the Cortclyous had then nothing whatever to do with It, but three years after the battle, Nicholas Vcchte, in willed (he historic house and farm to his grandson, Nicholas R. Cowcnhoven, and in 1700. long after the battle ami after the Revolution was ended and tho British had entirely evacuated New York, Cowcnhoven then sold the Vcchte house and farm to Jacques Cortelyou of the Narrows, so that this historic old farm and stone house nt Gowanus never acquired any right to bo called the "Cortelyou House" or farm until long after the battle and after tho Revolution wan ended. Now, whether this Jacques Cortelyou ever lived or not In the old stone house of which bought, does not appear, lut hie. son, Peter 1.

ires did continue to live in c.n'l also did the house, and that (he present, tiile of the Litchfield family to tin old house and farm directly from these two owners-the two Jacques fortelvou. grandfather and grandson; Now Mrs. Bangs seems to think that for anybody to refer in any way to the old stone house of Gowanus as the "Jacques Cortelyou House" would be a great piece of Illogical audacity and historical error, but as two Jacques Cortelyoi's owned It and one Jacques Cortelyou lived in It, and I as tho present title to the property Is I derived from these two Jacques Cor- 4 vf 4 fVA rOTf i lace.

tolyous, It will bo difficult for most people, I think, to seo tho forco or purpose of Mrs. Hangs' contentions. And it Is on this point that 1 have asked her bow she is going to get "Jacques Cortelyou" out of the record of the old stono houso of Gowanus and call It "history," and I think she will find this point unanswer able in law and logic. Now I think the explanation of Mrs. Bangs contention la that she has been laboring under the mistake, all along, that a Jacques Cortelyou never lived in the old Stone House of Gowanus, but that, it, was an "Isaac Cortelyou" that lived in and owned it.

In fact she tells us in the first Interview in Tho t'agle of April 17 that "Jacqura Cortelyou lived down at the Narrows. Tho house In Gowanus belonged to Isaac Cortelyou." Now the house at Gowanus never be longed to an "Isaac Cortelyou," but to i the Jacques Cortelyou who lived the I Nanows and later on to nu grp.nnson. another Jacques Cortelyou, who both lived in and owned the huse and convoyed It to the pre.irnt owners. The Litchfield records show that a "Peter I. Cortrlyou," son of Jirqucn Oonelyrni of t'te Narrows, lived and died In the Gowanus hi use, but nrvi owned and this l.i evidently th" tea'.

Mrs. Hangs lias mis.ThoMly row rred to as actually owning the Gownnu i house, and therefore she has Inclined to call it tho "Isaac Cortnlymi house." Gome Tttcts Told ty Title records. All these points are fully shown in tho title records of the Lhohllold estate, to which I bad referred Mrs. r.ar.gs, to correi settle inirnnprehcnsions she stents to have been under all along. And 1 bad evn requested Mr.

Litchfield to briclly transcribe sonic of these rec- I crds, f. her own benefit, and he, i r-nt a duplicate copy of this transcription t-i mo and to her. But sb" now rather Miangcly an 1 triumphantly I to records us a. vindlcallon of hen and proof that bath I and i Mit-s i'rascr'n book have been wrong from 11 outset, but of the reverse is the actual fact, as anyone can now see. Now as Mrs.

Panus has accused Miss Eraser's hook on "The Old Stone House" I of being historically incorrect, although I she had never rend what this book con- tains, it milit be well for us now to see how mu'di of a mistake Yrs. Bangs can find In what. Miss Eraser really says and not In what. Mrs. Hangs thinks she says, and this wc can test lu these short -v 1 i i the embroidery in the front panel is of a strip of the embroidery bordered extracts from pages 123 to 126 of "The Old Stono Houso nt "In 170D, Nicholas Vechte sold the Gowanus cstato on which stood the Stone House to Jacques Cortelyou for $12,500.

From this period on, the house was known either ns tho Stono House or the Washington House. "Jacques Cortelyou was direct in descent from Jacques Cortelyou, tho original owner of tho first stone houso at New Utrecht tho satno house that was occupied by General Howo upon tho British landing at New Utrecht, and which latrn became a part of Fort Hamilton, on tile Narrows, and was included in the barracks up to modern times" "They state that the houso of Jacques Cortelyou was the second one built by the owner, the first having been destroyed by fire. Evidently, the second house was intended to withstand both fire anil time, as it was of the same strength and durability as the Stone House tit Gowanus, bought by Jacques Cortelyou, descendant of tho same name.

"The bronze tablet, placed by the Sons of tiie Revolution on the houso now standing on the southwest corner of Third street and Fifth avenue, bear3 the following inscription: she ef til" old rertelyoll Ttollso en llie nf I.nrs Island.

"As a matter cf fact, this should not be called the Cortelyou House of history, the hitter, as explained above, having boon situated at New Utrecht." Now from these extracts and from the facts already stated, I think It will be sci that Bangs has bicn really attacking phantoms of her own assumption, ns I have already naid, and ar-Kuing for contentions that are of no consequence or relevancy whatever In the movement for which we are working to have the old Vcchte Stone House nt Gowanus, and the historic ground around it, usually called the Co'telyou farm and house, reserved and monumented as of the most sacred historic and patriotic shrines In our whole country. The Irrelevancy of her points about th' so cnlled old Cortelyou house can b'1 iiy seen by quoting a few extract: from her several letters and interviews. Thus In her last letter In The Eagle of May she tells us: "Mr. Higgins must not take from New Utrecht what helot, cs there, and Jacques Cortelyou did hi lonfc there."
