. New York, April 26.?Despite rainand blustery weather, spring festivi-ties ure l in full swing. Never have thotheatres been more crowded nor thegowns more beautiful, but activitiescenter around the few choseu restau-rants, where smart New Yorkers dineand dance. .Yea if to snatch the lastdrop of pleasure before dashing off tocountry homes and summer hotels,every "belle and %eau of the metropolistreads the measure of the maxixe, theone-step and fox trot to the accom-paniment of orchestra music inter-mingled with the clink of diners'glasses, the quaintness of the dancers'dresses oddly contrasting with themodern setting of white covered tablesand black-clad waiters hovering near.

Although Dame Fashion, mindful ofthe subway, perhaps, hesitates tospring the hoop skirt in daytime dress-es. she spares no fullness in the dancefrock. Skirts, short in length, billowand flare like sails in the wind, as thewearers dip, swing or hesitate in themeasures of the dance; their width isaccentuated by the tightness of thewaist and the closeness of the coiffure,giving a flower-like formation to themodern silhouette. So varied are thecolors, the scene becomes a humankaleidoscope. the shifting figuresbringing first pastel and then vividshades to fhe tore.

. Taffeta and Lace in an Up-to-DateApplication of the Crinoline Mode

One girl in particular attracted my |attention, as I watched the dancersthe other night. But for her auburntresses cropped close in the "Castle iciip," she might have been an 1850instead of a 1915 girl, so tight washer pointed bodice and so full her cir- 1cular skirt. Her throat, white as the !taffeta of which the gown was made,rriije above the round decollete. Thiswas edged with fine Chantillv lace andscattered tlowe/s, woven in pure silver jand blue, seemed purposely placed tocatch and hold the color of her eyes,

.so perfect was the match. The very 1

.simplicity of tha.frock made it attrac-tive; its only trimming, besides the:lace, was a heavy cord covered with:

' silk, edging the bottom of the bodice :and looped garland fashion on the jskirt. Xot a detail of the eostume wasoverlooked, from her white stockingsand black slippers, laced high withribbon, to the Grecian band that held,her hair; a telltale away of the bil-lowing skirt told as plain as words, asshe glided away, that there was ahooped petticoat beneath?not thetaped creation our grandmothers knew,but au ingenious arrangemeat intro-duced in the early winter, consistingof a net pettieoat, cut to come just be-low the knee, medium in width andtiuished at the lower edge with a reed.These are sometimes shown in the Ishops festooned with flowers thatshow through the sheer net dresses.

Though entirely different in cot andtexture, an equally charming dress wasworn at a fete in the midweek, by oneof the season debutantes noted for herdelicate Diesden-like beauty. With hergolden hair wound low in the neck anda single cnrl over her shoulder, sheappeared a perfect crinoline belle inher white net frock over a slip ofwhite charmeose covered with whitechiffon. A bodice of yellow faille silk,draped in front and" held with roses,«*ie a touch of color which was car-

ried out in tiny embroidered wTOathson the guimpe/knd skirt; below thewreaths on the skirt, scallops of gath-ered ribbon made a trimming in keep-ing with the U-shaped neck and full,puffed sleeves. Cameo braclots claspedaround her wrists and a small-fan, car-ried more fpr its beauty than tealutility, made fitting accessories to thecostume. The rare beauty of this gownwas emphasised by a cherry-red taffetafrock worn by her-friends.

It seems as if these styles, borrow-ed from the days when Jenny kind andAdeline Patti won their fame, give toeach girl an individual grace as shesways to the rhythm of the' modernmusic. There are Swiss frocks trimmedwith brilliant silk, Dolly Varden taf-fetas, failles, soft charmeuses. chiffons,and lace creations worthy of note. Aglint now and then of a murh-beruffledpetticoat warns us of the return of thefeminine fancy, which we lost sight offor the past season or two. Now thestores have on display a complete col-lection of figured mid plain taffetas,dainty nainsooks and sheer batistestrimmed with filet and Valenciennesl%ce for dance frocks and considerablespace is devoted to accessories for thedance as well.

Fans are espei-iallv pretty, smallmodels, scarcely five inches tall, withivory eticks aad paper or silk uppers,quaintly printed or painted, beingfavored with the crinoline frocks;ostrich fans give way this season tograceful models made of eagle quills.

Slippers, too, are featured in satinand kid, white, black or in colors tomatch the dress with ribbon lacing* inGrecian style or crossed straps thatfirmly hold the foot. Stockings, ncjt tobe outdone by slippers, have exquisiteopen work daintily 'embroid-ered or are made of heavy eilk; often-times white stockings are worn withblack slippers.

So far-reaching is the dance fad, ifwe may call it fad, having lasted twoseasons, it is diSicult to lose the spiriteven iu the daytime. Only this week,at a belated opening of a large depart-ment store in which "Paris in Her V>avo£ Trials Sends Korth Her SupremeFasfeon Message to the World" in acollection to be shown at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, such famous cou-turies as Beer, Doucet. Jenny, Premet,Paquin and Worth pay homag« to thedance.

A Dance Frock of Net and Faille Dis-playing the New Pufl Sleeve

In the large auditorium, crowded toits utmost capacity, it is interesting tonote the enthusiasm with which theshort, full-skirited, tight-bodiced frocksare received. Beer offers a vouthfuldress in black taffeta, shirred andflounced with enchanting puffedsleeves; its somber hue is in directcontract with the fairness of the wear-er and the purpose of the dress. Doucetintroduces a long net sleeve in a satingown for evening wear, while Paquin'smodels are conspicuous for their un-even outline at the bottom; the skirisare cut in four deep points and facedwith contrasting color, the stockingsmatching the facing and the slippersbiack.

'HANITREE* IS PRESENTEDWITH WOEFUL LACIOF'PEP*

Usually Funny Play Suffers Through

An Apparent Absence of Ginger

Even in the Cases of the Stars, Mc-Intyte and Heath

Whether it was because the end ofthe season is drawing nigh, or becausethe stars were not greeted with an

audience that filled every seat, or thatthe play was beginning, by frequentrepetition, to pall on the players?-there was certainly something lackingin the performance of the "HamTree'' by Mclntvre and Heath at theMajestic Saturday night. There was a

lack of spirit anil vim throughout theentire performance. There was noginger, and decidedly no "pep" or'' go*i to the presentation of what hasheretofore afforded unbounded delightto great audiences in this city.

The "Ilam Tree" is not a new playbut it has always been ptesertted herewith a capable cast. The two stars,Mclntvre and Health, are among thecleverest comedians on the stage?en-tirely different in their methods, butboth artists in the creation of merri-ment. The storv of the two strandedmembers of the Georgia minstrels is anold one, but it has always been atheme of rare fun, but, for some rea-son the performance of Saturday nightwas decidedly below the usual standardfor the "Ham Tree." Even the starsseemed depressed for some reason andtheir familiar jokes, always welcome,were gotten off in a perfunctory man-ner that was distressing by comparisonwith their previous work.

Only once did the principals rise tothe occasion and that was when theywere conjuring up the mythical feastto comfort their weary frames. Thatwas really good and was heartily ap-plauded?from the ham tree to thebiscuit bush, the sweitzer swamp andthe pretzel plant.

There was little or no applause* andbut two encores, of which one was forthe trick mule that was summonedfrom the livery stable to give au airof merriment to an otherwise bald andwearisome evening. The dancing wasatbove the ordinary, but the singingwas weak and spiritless.

Mclntvre and Heath can do betterthan the performance of Saturdaye\ening, and if they can't then theyare not earning that $75,000 a sea-son which the energetic press agentannounced, is the stipend given fortheir services.

BLAMES LEGISLATURES FORWIDESPREAD FOREST FIRES

Commissioner Conklin Says Dally Pa-trols Have Been Impossible Be-

cause of Failure of Lawmakers to

Provide Sufflbient Funds

In a statement regarding the spreadof forest fires, issued yesterday Fores-try Commissioner Conklin is inclined tolay the blame for the State not beingat all times ready to combat them, onthe Legislatures which have hereto-fore failed to furnish sufficient moneyto provide patrolmen. In his statementCommissioner Conklin says in part:

"The forest fire law of 1909 pro-vides a method for daily patrol butthis provision has been completelynullified since the parage of the lawby the refusal of the Legislature toappropriate sufficient money to placemen upon daily patrol. All danger re-gions are equipped with forest firewardens and assistants, tout they ean-not go upon daily patrol for want ofmoney to pay them. The appropriationwhich is allowed the department forthis purpose must be skimped out tothe very end, and it takes all of it,and sometimes more, to pay the wagesof the men who are actually employedto extinguish fire. The last two Legis-latures had to be appealed to for de-ficiency appropriations.

"The department is asking thisyear for afforest fire appropriation of$150,000. Of course, what is not need-ed will not be expended, but we musthave a fund with which to patrol dan-ger points for the prevention of fire ifwe are ever to make any great hoad-way against fire in the woods.

"A comparison of the appropria-tions which Pennsylvania has madefor this purpose with that made byother States is instructive at this time.In Massachusetts ayd New York anannual appropriation of one per cent,per acre for forested land for protec-tive purposes was made. At this rate,the seven and a half millioiv acres ofsimiliar Pennsylvania land would re-quire $150,000, or $75,000 per year.Because of adequate protection Massa-chusetts was able to limit the averagearea of each fire to eleven acres, andNew York to eighteen; but in the caseof Pennsylvania the average mount*to 508 acres per fire."

The connection between forest firesand the trout season is too significantto be ignored the commissioner says.The State has most unwisely refusedto take proper cognizance of one ofthe greatest leaks of all, and one thatis rendering large~areas of Pennsylva-nia barren and desolate, the uncon-trolled forest fires, the commissioneradds.

To Give Illustrated Lecture"Eagles Mere, the Scenic Marvel of

Pennsylvania," will be the subject ofa« illustrated lecture by J. Horace Mc-Karland, president of the Civic Asso-ciation, before the seven EpworthLeases of this city in the auditoriumof Stevens Memorial M. E. church, Fri-day evening, May 14.
