WOMEN WHO TOOLED THE CO AC HES IX THE ANNUAL PARADE OF THE LADIES' FQUR4N-BAND DRIVING CLUB YESTERDAY.
llttS. THOMAS HASTINGS.
MISS CORNELJA BRYCB.
THE rOACfILNG PARADE.
'Annual Meeting of Ladies' Four-in-
Hand Driving Club.
The populace was on hand bright and early for
the annual parade of the Ladles^ Four-ln-Hanfl
Driving Club yesterday morning, Long before 11:30
o'clock, the hour announced for the start, a big
crowd had gathered around the park entrance at
Fifth avenue and 7M street, where the coaches
■were to meet. It was a democratic crowd, and It
came In ail sorts of ways— on horseback. In private
carriages. In automobiles, In cabs more or lees
rickety, and on foot. There was a large contingent
of young men Immaculately dressed and carrying
canes, anxiously asking everybody In sight, as the
coaches appeared one by one, which was "the Iselln
turnout" and •which "Mrs. M&ekay's coach." and if
"that little man with red flowers In his buttonhole"
•was E. H. Harriman. Blase spaniels and bull pups
lolled from the windows of carriages and looked a
trifle enviously at the East Side children who had
wandered over to see the show anal who were free
to risk their lives at th*ir own sweet will. Why no
baby was Wiled Is a mystery. Every nursemaid
■who took her stand on the south Hide of the drive
■was Immediately possessed with a desire to get
herself and her charge over to the north side, and
every nursemaid on the north side was convinced
that the south side was a much better place from
•which to see. Between these and the cabs that
had to be "chased" away from the park entrance,
the policemen on duty there had their work cut out
for them.
Tb* parade was an opportunity not to be lost by
the little retail milliner. Now was her time to
pcan the hats of the women she had read about,
and she did It. Not only milliners and dressmakers,
but Innumerable other women with a non-profes
sional but none the less keen Interest In hats and
coats and gowns, closed eagerly about the waiting
coaches. Photographers were everywhere. They
darted under the horses' noses and stood massed
on the pavements, their head:, under their camera
cloths, like assemblages of enormous bugs. In fact,
the only Impassive figures were the footmen, who
stood like yravec in.ares at the heads of the
champing horses.
OCCUPANTS OF COACHES.
At 11:30 o'clock sharp the trumpet sounded, and
the nine coaches waiting in line along 72d street
swung off through the Park. Mrs Thomas Hast
ings, president of the club, led the way, dressed in
a driving costume of blue cloth and tooling the- four
spirited bays with easy skill. Mrs. Hastings had the
■use of Mrs. Clarence Mackay's coach, and Mrs.
Mackay, wearing black chiffon cloth and a large
black picture hat trimmed with great white poppies,
•was one of her guests. The other occupants of this
coach were Miss Dorothy 'Whitney, Joseph Minott
end Thomas Hastings, who sat on the box seat
with Mrs. Hastings. The second coach was driven
by Miss Louise Gulliver, the club's secretary. Her
guests were' her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
C. Gulliver, Mr. and Mrs. C. I>>dyard Blair and
Phoenix Ingraham. Miss Cc^nella Bryce's turn
out -was a study in green and white. The body of
}he coach was green, and both guests and horses
were decked with bunches of white carnations.
On the box seat with Miss Bryce was W. M. V.
Hoffman, and her other guests were Mrs. Hoffman,
Mrs. J. Sergeant Cram and T. Markoe Robertson.
Mrs. W. Goadby Loew drove the fourth conch
and had as her guests her husband. Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Brokaw, Miss Angelica. Gerry, who was
dressed all In baby blue, and Worthington White
house. Next in line came Miss Dorothea Cromwell,
guiding her fours. The Misses Dorothy Kissel and
Alice Borland, who were with her, wore winter
furs and looked exceedingly comfortable in them
in epite of its being the second day of May. The
men on this coach were K. Victor I>oew. Joseph
H. Hunt and Gilbert Francklyn. and Inside the
coach was a fourth man, Charles G. Francklyn.
Behind her sister's coach came that tooled by Miss
Gladys Cromwell. On th«« box peat with Miss
Cromwell was George* G. Haven. jr., and behind
them were Miss Lily Lee Page, Miss Muriel Bob
bins, Cyril Martlneau. of England, and Harry
Felham Robblns. Miss Harriet Alexander, seventh
In line, was accompanied by her father, Charles
B. Alexander, on the b«x seat, and by Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Earle Stevens, Miss Anita Peabody
and Robert Russell.
The eighth coach had many eyes focussed on
It. for there Fat E. H. Harriman, imperturbable
ias ever. In spite of the fact that a Madison avenue
car had struck the coach'*' on the way to the meet
ing place and come rear putting It out of com
mission. Miss Cornelia Harriman tooled this
coach, and her guests, besides her father, were
her sister. Miss Mary Harriman; Miss [Catherine
Elkins, of Washington; Julian Gerard and Robert
L. Gerry. The red flowers which were the in-
Plgnla of this coach, made it a vivid bit of color
as It flashed along the gray road.
Mrs. Arthur Iselln, vice-president of th« club,
brought up the rear of the line. On the box seat
lat her Bide was her father. Colonel William Jay.
Mr. and Mrs. Austen Gray. Miss Margaret Dix and
Mr. Iselln were Mrs. Iselin s other guests.
DRIVERS IN FINE FORM.
The horses, restive from standing and made ner
vous by the tooting and fizzing and smoking of
the innumerable automobiles that had plunged In
»nd out through the crowd at the meeting place,
would hrve been a match for any club of men
drive! but the women behind them handled them
without trouble. They looked like true drivers. In
I their trim, blue costumes, stiff white hats and white
or tan spats, and they held the ribbons like drivers.
Along the East Drive to the head of the Mall,
then \tf way of the West Drive to the circle at
105 th street swung the cavalcade, a bright trail of
changing c-lors under the gray sky. The woods on
cither side were dull, only a few green buds had
put forth here and there on the branches, but this
grayness only accentuated the gaye*/ of the
coaches and of the dresses of the women they held.
X After the coaches hastened a long train of ve
hicles of all kinds, open carriages and closed car
riages, filled with the friends of the paraders. There
were people on horseback, at.d there were many
•buses and cabs, hired at the last minute by people
•- unwilling to resist the fascination of following the

CEXTCRY CLUB POLITICS.
Mark Twain Episode May Disrupt
Theatre Society.
If Mark Twain ha? been following the dimen
sions in the Century Theatre Club he will prob
ably be interested in the latest development In the
situation, of which he has been unwittingly and
no doubt unwillingly th» cent ml figure. The elec
tion of the Century Theatre Club Is only a week
off, and it Is a matter of common talk amonsr the
members that the genial humorist, who was In
vilt-d to preside over the club's booth at the Actors
Fund fair and then informed by the president^ Mrs.
Sydney Roper that it might be Just as well if
he accepted the invitation of the Players instead,
was utilized for political purposes.
"The situation is this," said a member yesterday.
"Mrs. Rosenfeid had served the full length of time
that the constitution permitted, and. expecting: to
retire at the end of the present club year, she had
had Mrs. Edith Ellis Baker, chairman of the pres
ent fair committee, in trainlr.p. as it wore, as her
successor. Most of us liked Mrs. Baker, but wo
liked Mrs. Rosenfeld better, and we wanted to re
tain her. if possible Bo we amended the constitu
tion. It was Cully understood and, in fact, it was
plainly stated at the time :h.> action was taken
that the purpose of the amendment was to enable
our president to run again, an* no one. made any
objection to it. Neither was any name placed in
opposition to hers, and, though there »r» now two
tickets in the field, there is only one presidential
candid;
"But Mrs. Baker's friends were a little disap
pointed, and probably that feelinp grew upon them
as time went on. Anyway, a good many of us
believe that there was a fir-Fire to have Mrs. Rosen
feld resign. The committee knew perfectly well
that it was Impossible for her to receive Mark
Twain at her booth. Her devotion t • her Church
is no secret, for when Mrs. Eddy's ukase against
clubs that draw the sex line was issued she re
signed from all eurh clubs that she belonged to
and remained in the Century Theatre Club only
because it admits men. Even if the thing had no
political bearing it wan an unpardonable affront
to the president Wo all love and admire Mark
Twain, but it was not necessary to have him at
our booth. There are other people who could have
written autographs for us."
Some of Mrs. Rosenfeld's friends said yester
day that she had no intention of resigning. Other!
paid she, probably would. She herself was not to
be seen It has been said at her home, No. 30S
West 96th street, for the last few days that she
was out of town, but she will be here for a meet
ing of the executive council to be held at her own
home this morning.
As plans have just been completed for making
ii..- club a national organization, the question of
its presidency is one of considerable Interest
These plans will be put into operation in Bi ptem
ber and provide f<v the organization of branches
in the principal Cities of the country. The club
exists for the purpose of studying and criticising
plays and producing those of its members. It haa
four hundred and fifty members, all but about
twenty-five of whom, according to one estimate,
are solid for Mrs. Kosenfc-ld.
A SEASIDE CLUBHOUSE.
Tent for Mothers and Children To Be
Erected by Brooklyn Women.
Tho mothers' clubs of the Brooklyn schools fire
going to have a tent at the seashore tiiis summer.
They have placed $4<vi for the purpose In the hands
of Miss Fannie Belle Curtis, supervisor <>f kinder
gartens In that borough, an<i have promised to
raise J!,ov». Two kindergarten t< achera will be in
attendance at 1 1 is u-nt all summer. There will
be milk for thr- children, and Lea r<>r th<^ mothers
and all the shovels and pails that the little folk
can use on their outings. Miss Curtis told this
story at one of the sessions of the Kindergarten
Convention in the \\"H<i!'-it'.. HUh School yesterday
afternoon, and said she was sure the mothers who
have a share in this seaside clubhouse Will never
want to take th'-ir children to the crowded resorts,
where there is no proper provision for their com
fort or pleasure.
"And after we pet the tf-nt started," she said.
"we are going to do something to offset the cheap
theatres and concert balls. The mothers' dub is a
great power, and I consider <>:i! v."ik with the
mothers o.uite as valuable to the Board of Edu a
tinn as that of the kindergartr-n Itself, and it is
very Important that the kindergartner should al
ways have time for this work."
The meeting was a round table conference on
mothers' meetings, about the Importance of which
all the sneakers were agreed. To ill istrate the in
fluence (.f the kindergarten >'" the home, Miss Vir
ginia (Jra*ff. ut Boston, told "f a sm.il! boy who
eaid t« his mother after she had punished him in
the time-honored way:
"Th<m ladies what I love, them nev< r whips me."
"I'll never whip Johnny again!" said the mother
to the kindergarten teacher, who had already t"id
h*>r mothers' iluti that there wen better ways
than whipping. "I want him to love me, too."
Mrs. waiter 11.I 1 . Harvey recalled a mother who
was less amenable to kindergarten Influence. I i»-r
young hopeful was so dirty flat he was noi to be
endured, so t!;>- kindergarten teacher wrote to his
mother that Rico positively must have h bath, u>
was so dirty that he smeUed. Next morning Rico
entered with all his sins still upon bis head and
bearing a note which he presented triumphantly
tn the teacher. It read. "Rico goes to .school to
be learnt, not to be smelt."
RUSSIAN IMMIGRATION.
In the twentieth anniversary number of "Tha
Jewish Exponent" Louis Edward Levy, speaking
of the Russian immigration, says:
To England and its colonies and to the United
States those that could have made their way and
others are following. But the number Of those who
are so fortunate i.- too small a proportion of those
who must needs stay where they are to materially
change the situation there, and so the future of the
Jews In Russia must ultimately remain bound up
with that of all the rest of the Russian people. That
future is now In process of evolution through revo
lution, and, although a generation must yet elapse
before the political and social reorganisation that
is going on in the Russian Empire can be followed
hi' normal conditions there, and although much
bloody travail must yet ensue before those condi
tions are realized, there is clearly no other out
come possible. In the mean time the situation
which developed in the German Empire after its
constitution in 1870 will doubtless be paralleled in
a more or less modified form in Russia., and the
Jewish people of that and the adjacent countries,
when In the enjoyment of civic rights under a
constitutional government, will, like the German
Jcwk before them, cease to emigrate from their
native homes and no longer bo, as they have been
during the last twenty years and more, th« fclorm
centre of current Jewish history. - ',

Richmond Finds It Can Prosecute
New Jersey Concerns.
The Antl-Nulsance, League of Ptaten Island haa
found that because the coal consumers of Con

this city they can be prosecuted and brought to

As the spring days came nlong tho residents of
the island began to remember their experiences of
former seasons, when the, Standard Oil Company's
black smoke, the Bergen Point Chemical Comp
any's red smoke and the sulphuric, white smoke
from other works blighted th« vegetation along
the north shore An appeal was rr.ad<* by the
league to the- Health Department about two weeks
ago. There was no politics In this, the. com
plainants were careful to Fay. It was altogether
in the interest of good water, good light and good
health. The men who appealed to the Health De
partment were Eugene Richards, the Mayor's per
sonal counsel; Samuel Holcomb Evins. an ex-
Assistant Corporation Counsel; J. •'„ Timolat. an
extensive property holder on Btaten Island, and
Charles R. Tarmele. the president of the league.
It was through Mr. Parnv le that the prosecutions

of red. black and white smoke are residents
of New Brighton and Port Richmond. They want
their condition made more endurable.
Mr Evins told a reporter for The Tribune that
Whenever the wind came from the northwest the
smoke blew over in suffocating clouds, persons
with throat trouble were painfully afflicted, and
metal roofs were eaten Into and made sievellke
Property, Mr. Evins said, was away down, was

were deteriorating.

WILL CARE FOR TREES.
Plant "Expert Guarantees to Keep
Them in Foliage All Summer.
With a view to demonstrating to the, city officials
what ,i little professional care of trees will effect,
John Davey, an expert on plant life, has offered
to take Borne of the. trees In City Hall Park that
lost their follice in July of I ast year and keep
them In heavy foliage all summer. Mr. Davey also
puaranteed to Improve these trees and. In his own
words, "to perpetuate them."
Mr. Dave] had ■ long talk yesterday with Park
Commissioner Hern-nan, who thought favorably of
the proposition and will brln»f it up before th*
Park Board at Its next meeting The trees through
out the city, in the parks and nlonic th« streets

from all parts of the city about the neglect of the
elm and the poplar and the other long-lived trees
which, through neglect or treatment by Ignorant
persons, si iv in foli.iK* hardly more than a month
of the year. Mr. Davey has brought out a magazine
called "A New Era In Trees." In which he demon
strates, with the aid of tli* camera, the result of
neglect of trees.
Touching on the condition of the trees in City

The Best Clothing
Made for Boys
If we knew, or any manufacturer
anywhere knew, how to make better
clothing than we are now telling, we
would have it.
Everything that tve knew would
better the clothing, we have had done
in the making of Wanamaker Cloth
ing and we KNOW that many de
tails of betterment which we demand
of our manufacturers are unknown to
other clothing.
Every wool fabric ts absolutely
ALL- wool.
That principle has been further empha
sized by the merchandise newly made for
our Basement Clothing Store, where also
refuse to admit any cotton-mixed fabrics.
