SNOWS eF YESTERYEAR Thickly Sprinkled with Graft in Queens. Fosclick Charges. Raymond B. Fosdlck. Commissioner of I Accounts, Whose exhaustive study of ad ministrative methods in Queens will not end for a month or two, says he is soon to have a talk with Laden Knayp. superintendent of the' Bureau of Street Cleaning in that ! borough during the Incumbency of Joseph j Bermel »< Uurotigh .President Lawrence i Greseer, the present Borough President, was Commissioner of Public Works at the time, and in February, ISO*, took occasion to order the removal of snow from about five ; miles of streets without consulting Mr' Knapp. Mr. Fosdick is anxious to learn more about this transaction, among others. | On February 4 and 5, 'VS. there was a snowfall of approximately eleven inches. : At the request of President Bermel the i Board of Estimate appropriated $30,000 for the removal of this snow from the streets of Queens. Mr. Xnapp already had spent about $5,000 in clearing the more congested points in the borough, considering it un necessary to put gangs of men and trucks to work on the country road*, when Gressef and Bormel Called in the Long Isl and Contracting and Supply Company to remove the snow. The contract was made verbally with Joseph A. Boyce. president of the contract ing company, whose men consumed Febru ary 6, 7. 8, 9 and .10 in removing 66,610.6 cubic yards of snow from 27.550 linear feet of roadvay. The contract- was later con firmed in writing, and a bill for about $22,000 Ml sent to Controller Metz. As the bill had not been "O. X.'d" by Superintendent Knapp the Controller re fused to consider it at all. Thereupon the figures were revised by the contractor, and Mr. Knapp was appealed to by Bermel to "O. K." a bill of $17,08928. From the re ports of his foremen Mr. Knapp was able to ascertain that th*> amount of snow set down in the contractor's report actually had been removed from the streets, so he made a brief statement to the Borough Pres-ident to that effect, "although we did not direct the work." he wrote, "and had no knowledge of orders given."- The bill as amended, and with Knapp's report attached, was sent to the Controller. This time the objection was made that the law had not* been complied with in regard to the advertising for bids. Under a sec tion of the Laws of l!*Ti. however, an in formal contract may be considered binding in case of emergency. So Mr. Metz further cut the bill to J14.4.VT. the actual amount of money expended on laborers and trucks, and approved Its payment. This was finally authorized by {he Hoard of Estimate on April 2, 1909, more than two years after the completion of the work. WAY TO GET HUSBAND'S LOVE Complaining Wife, in Court, Advised to Feed Him Fish Frequently. ' Mrs Goldle Friedman, of No. 157 Chryetie street, had her husband. Benjamin, in the E£sex Market court yesterday, where she asked Magistrate Moss to make him love her more. * '"What comrlaint have yo'j against him? Doetrn't he stlpfiOrt Jrou?" aek^d the mag istrate. "Oh. yes. he pl%-es me money," replied the "wife. "Well, is he cruel to you? Oopp he treat you unkindly?" "Oh, no, he Is pood to me, but he just don't .love me like he ought. I want you to make him love me more." "Isn't there something he likes partic ularly well to eat?" asked the magistrate. "its, judge." said the wife, "he loves geffitte fish better than anything. I be lieve he could eat It every meal." "Well, suppose you give him geffilte fiih three or four times a week for a. while and sr if that won't bring him around." The wife then took her husband by the arm. and the two went out of the court room together. TENNIS IN PARK ON SUNDAY. Park Commissioner Stover announced yesterday afternoon that beginning next Sunday the tennis Courts in Central Park would be open to players This will be th€ first time the courts have been opened on Sunday.

Of Interest to XVornen FROCKS FOB BOOS AS! the Prettiest Things Are for the Young Girl. ' • The people who make the fashions usual ly seem to have i:i mind only the young matron. Their gowns are designed for her and have to be adapted to the use of the young girl n<l th grandmother. But this year the young girl is having her Innings. There are few styles that she cannot wear and a good many that no one else can wear, unless it be those exceptional persons whose innocence of heart Is reflected in their face 3 long after other womea have lost the fresh ness and charm of life's morning.

The circular skirt had a little all over "figure in self-colored embroidery, and it opened diagonally at one side to give just a glimpse of a horizontally tucked panel. Above the panel .the overlapping edpe of the embroidered material was. scal loped and bound with the silk, and held in place by some moderately large pHk cov ered buttons. The bodice was In sailor style, with rather low neck and eibow sleeves. The edges of the middy collar and the turned up caffs were banded with the silk and the costume was completed by ■•• scarf and belt of the sathe material, the lat ter fastened with a brass buckle. An equally youthful evening gown shown in a Broadway shop was made up In Blue and white, a combination always suggestive of youth and innocence, and was. besides, free from all complexify of cut. The white waS chiffon, r.nd the" blue, which was of .1 china shade, was loutaine. Tb^e skirt had a good deal of fulness at the waist, and from there fell in unbroken straight lines to the floor. The bodice was draped and finished at the neck, which was not very low, with a flat circular arrangement of lace piped with blue. Folds of th*> blue edged a simu lated panel in the front of the skirt, on which were set at interval's rosettes of blue and white. The draping? of the corsage were also caugn't by these rosette*. The girdle was of blue and fastened at the left of the back with a bow and a large dull sold buckle in the form of an open oval. This frock, with the added dignity o/ •■> lace coat, might be worn by the bud' 3 mamma as well as by the bud.

LUNCHEONS FOR BRIDES Such Affairs Lend Themselves to Decorative Effects. - .-: ■".-. *-■■'■.. .-•;■ :■-' :<■',' Every hostess takes pride in inventing novel and .pretty decorations for her lunch eons, teas and dlnttera, and she takes spe cial pride when the guest of honor is a young bride or bride-to-be. It la .never a : difficult matter to evolve something attrac tive for a festivity connected with mar riage, for there are so many charming de signs that can be used — cttpidSt heart*, wed : ding bells, wedding rings and the like. At a luncheon given last week for an En gaged girl the color scheme was pink nnd White, pink being tht favorite color of the bride-elect. The hostess was the tatter's closest friend, and all the guests were inti mates of the two. which made the- luncheon a very jolly affair. The chandelier, above the table, was fes tooned with pink and white lu'.le. and sus pended from it was a large golden hoop simulating a wedding ring. From the hoop streamers of pink and , white ribbon stretched to each cover, held in place the** by tiny cuplds. each cupid hearing a Card with the name of the guest to whom the place had been assigned. Bride roses filled a cut glass bowl in the centre of the table, were clustered in vase« and bowle on Fide board and mantel, and nodded in bank? from the low window seats. Yellow luncheon* are very appropriate when the guest of honor is a bride, since yellow suggests sunshine. At one such luncheon in early summer last year a wed ding bell covered with field daisies with yenbw hearts and black-eyed Susans with yellow petals hung above the table. A big flat dish of old brass, filled with yellow lady's slippers, stood in the centre of the table, and a wreath of daisies and smilax followed the curve of the table. Just inside of the plate?. Daisy festoons stretched from the chandelier to the four corners of the room, and daisies and black-eyed Susan* and tall .feathery grasses were banked on the mantelpiece and massed" In earthenware pots of quaint and unusuai shapes.* The place cards at this luncheon were tiny yellow satin slippers filled with rice, the little card with the name on It half hidden in the r.'ce. Other pretty place cards for engagement or bridal luncheons are hand painted de signs showing a girl's head framed in a wedding ring, CUpids peeping thro .1 heart design, or twin hearts pierced with arrows. A woman with some skill in water colors and a certain amount of In vention can easily paint tiie cards for a luncheon and, knowing- the fads and fan cies of her guests, can get in little personal touches that will enliven the luncheon im mensely.

''Why. harking back to oldtime Chaucer , they wanted to en on spring pilgrimages even in the England of the fourteenth century!

The first New York store was opened in 1856, at 90 John Street, successive moves being made, as shown in small illustrations. Each of the removals was occas- ioned by increased business and by a desire for a location which would b« more advantageous and more conven ient for their patrons.

During the occupancy of the buil ding at I^9 Broadway it was the property of Napoleon 1 1 1, having been purchased by him from Dr. Evans, the famous 'American Dentist of Paris. Special displays will be made da r ing the opening weeks. Many new and exquisite objects and patterns in Sterling, Silver Plate and Cut Glass. The Meriden Company Silversmiths 9
