F
0R centuries It lms been the
custom of certain old world
governments to confine the
Jewish population to definite
ectlon of the cities where the
Jewish population has been large,
-These Jewish confines hare been
known as Ghettos, When the exodus
of Jews from Russia, from Poland,
from Roumanla, and Hungary was at
Its height those old world Hebrews
took unto themselves that section of
the lower East side of New York
which lies east of the Bowery clear
down to the Bast river and In the
course of tlmo this district became so
wellnlgh universally Jewish that the
word Ghetto camo to be applied to It.
It was in rpallty a veritable Ghetto,
comparable to the greatest Ghettos
:t of the old world, only vaster. It is
still today agreater city of Jews than
the world has ever known. Accus
tomed through tho centuries which
have gone to bo forcibly confined
within a given area, transplanted to
the new world, wh'crc no such re
strictions have ever existed, these
people have yet adhered very large-l-totBetrtradU!ona'l

Changing, Yet Changeless.
Tho yery fact that all of this life is
so precisely like the life of tho East
side eight or ten years ago naturally
makes one curious to understand
what has become of the influence of
the public schools, the playground
centers, the settlements, and all the
'ulirartinnumerable philanthropic char
itable and educational institutions
which have been established there
tor many years. As one walks through
the streets there are few, If any, evi
dences of progress, It Is still an or
thpdox Jewry. Ten years ago thou
sands upon thousands of boys and
girls, young men and young women,
were looked upon as "Americans in
process." One naturally asks what
has becoino of thi Americans or what
has happened to the process.
In the answer to this question Hoi
one moro of the Interesting features
of this situation. The lower. East
side is In the nature of a groat hu
man sieve. Here the immigrants
como and locate immediately they
havo landed, for n this Ghetto they
find a life in outward somblanco sim
ilar to the llfo of the dhettos they
havo loft in Europe, Every one
speaks Yiddish arid consequently lg
noranco of English Is no drawback.
Jewish customs provall. The pre
vailing atmosphere Is Jewish. Here
they are at home. The schools, the
settlements, and the social centers
aro open to tholr children who are
never slow to avail themselVes of tho
advantages and opportunities offered
them, Rut hr soon as the younger
generation has secured ever so slight
a foothold, they are seized with the
desire to move "up-town," so they go
to the Bronx, to East New York or
to Rrownsvllle, making place for the
more recent arrivals from Europe.
Thus It Is that the East side while
composed of a different! population, Is
still the same.
In certain respects the East side of
today la a better East aide than of
ten years ago. For one thing, there
Is less criminality of a serious chnr
acter. Formerly young boys, scarcely
out of schooi, took lessons from ex
perienced pickpockets and practiced
their trade among tho thrones of the
East Hide streets and the Bowery and
on vnrious crosstown cars , which in

Antiquities In Danger. ,
Hidden ayfay In the national mu
seums ana libraries, and zealously
guarded are a number of priceless
manuscripts and books which, but for
a fortunate chance, might have been
lost to the world. The chief 'treas
ure of a museum at St. Petersburg Is
the oldest known Greek manuscript of
the NeW Testament, which was about
to bo burned by the monks of a
Syrian monastery, when, by a lucky
chanco, one of the priests, struck with
the antiquity of the manuscript, In
terfered in time to save what had
been thought valueless.
The Church.
According to the London Telegraph,
the Bishop of London, speaking at the
Mansion House, said that many people
nowadays had a false Idea of the
church. "The popular Idea was that
you had only to put threepence In the
slot, or rattier In the offertory, nnd
you got u handsome vicar, two goof,
looking curates and a pal of bells.''

IF there are girdle or sashloss
dresses deslmed for the new sea
son, they seem to be keeping out of
sight. Everything has a sash which
does not define tho waist line, but
wanders above and below and around
or diagonally across and terminates
wherever It sees fit, sometimes at the
bust; sometimes under the shoulders,
again half way to the knees, and rea
sonably often somewhere near the
waist line.
Nearly all the girdles are of the new
and beautiful ribbons. Some of them
are of silk wrapped, about the figure
and extending from below the bust to
the swell of the hips. To sum up th'e
matter, you may wear a sash or a
girdle of any sort of ribbon you choose
and posed to suit yourself.
Four fashionable designs are shown
here. The first Is called the "Dres
den," and is made of moire ribbon In
all colors, with border and stripes In
Dresden patterns woven In. It con
sists of a girdle, a short, standing loop
and a long falling loop with one end
forming the sash. At the hoart of
this two-looped bow Is a buckle made
of narrow velvet wound over a founda
tion of buckram. Tho velvet Is In a
dark shadi of the same color as ap
pears In the body of the ribbon.
This 1b one of tho most popular
of all the many sashes now in vogue.
It requires nbout three yards of rib
bon, and Is supported by narrow stays
whan fitted to the waist
The girdle without ends pictured
next Is called the, "Alsatian," taking
Its name from tho bow of two loops,
afid equal In length, which furnishes
it. It Is made of soft, mcrsa line rib
bon, Tho heart of the bow is held in
place by two rfnlrrlngB over soft cord.
A yard and a quarter will make this
girdle for a waist of average size,
say 24 inches. It Is an easy matter to
calculate the length required, since It
takes a trifle, more than a half yard
to make the two loops. Adding to this
the, waist measure with a little allow
ance for making and fastening above
or below tho waist line, the length re
quired is ascertained,
The wide and soft sash pictured next
with. Us .suggestion' of a butterfly bow,
is called tho "Geisha." Wide ribbons
aro chosen for this, aiy an ample al
lowance for encircling the waist, since
It Js worn rather high.
Thn Anrtn nrA trlmtnaH dlnrnnalit,
hand hemmed. The hem is finished with
hem-stitching or bordered with a vol
votribbon in the same color as tho
sash. This Bash will require three
yards and perhaps a little more. It de
pends upon tho length of tho ends.
The shorter one, as a rule, 1b half a
yard long. The character of the de
sign admits of Bhorter ends, but hard
ly of longer ones.

The story of sashes is a long one.
There is the "Wishbone" and the "Sul
tana," both our Interpretation of ori
ental Ideas. There Is the "New York"
and the "Roman Girdle," both excel
lent for plain ,cloth dresses, and the
last particularly effective. Then
there Is a big family of bordered
sashes, and all those .girdles of bril
liant and rich brocades, with which
tho deep and somber colors used in
costumes are made to glow color,
which rioted during the summer, until
our fashions were color mad, has re

tion of these two) it Is to be handled
form the standpoint of art during the
fall and winter that are before ub.
And It Is tho sash more than any
thing else which will provide vivid
touches to enliven our apparel.

A lavender pincushion is a dainty

It is very pretty when covered In a

Other pincushions might bo made in

First Baseman Has Ten Homers te
His Credit and Is Ranked With
Schulte-Zlmmerman Oat's of
Sluggers Hitting Is Surprise,
1
Players on the Chicago Cub base
ball team are taking their turn in
leading tho organization in tho home
run department. Three years ago
Frank Schulte headed tho list and
tho National league with a total of
21, tho largost number over accumu
lated by a single ball player since
Buck Freaman of Washington hung
up his mark of 26. Schulte did so
wonderfully well that season that ev
eryano expected him to pass ,that
mark in 1912. Instead he fell from
tho ranks of the home-run getters
and Heinlo Zimmerman took his place.
The third sacker led the Cub team
last summer. He also finished the
year at the top of the league bat
ters, with an average of .374. Like
Schulte, he was expected to do still
better this year. He is not doing
it and Saier haB supplanted him as
first home-run getter of the teamN
Salcr was not expected to prove the
club'B longest hitter this year, but
the youngster is developing so rap
Idly and playing such wonderful ball
that anything he does from now on
should not surprise a soul. Last year
Jako Daubert woe picked at) the
league's best first sacker, but he does
not outclass tho Cubs' wonder. That
Is the opinion of many smart ball
players in the National league. Many
athletes, and also several command
ers, declare that Saier is without a
question the greatest first baseman
who has come into the organization
since Daubert was Introduced.
Saier has improved In every de
partment. He has gingered up im
mensely, Is showing a lot of life on
the bases, and has learned the Im
portance of aggressiveness. He Is
hitting so well that he has now
driven home more runs than any
other player oft the club. Until the
last eastern trip Zimmerman was the
head of the list in that respect, but
he has been shoved back a few
Vic Saier.
notches by Saler.-The latter has driv
en home nearly 60 men, which is
about seven more than Zimmerman Is
given credit for Bcorlug.
Tho ten home runs Saier has made
np to the time thiB artlc'o was writ
ten prove conclusively what he Is
capable of doing. To some ten four
base cracks may not seem a whole lot,
but when it Is figured that he has
made moBt of his homers away from
the West side lot that is quite a bunch.
Cravath of the Philadelphia team has
17 homo runs chalked up for him.
WhUo no effort 1b to be made to de
prive him of due credit, it must bs
said his achievement is not so won
derful as that of Saier. Of Cravath's
homo runs 12 have been made on the
Philadelphia grounds, where tho right
field fense is extremely close, and It
is also easy to bounce drives into the
left-field bleachers.
Saier has not made his homers off
the weak pitchers. He has demon
strated to the National league's best
that It Is anything but wise policy
to give him a ball inside about waist
high. Not long ngo Teereau, one of
the league's leading hurlers, passed

Players' Friend.
Bonesetter Rceso is the ball play
ers' best friend. Reeso lives In
Youngstown, O., and hundreds of play
ers go to him every year to have their
limbs fixed. He has saved many ma
jor leaguers from a minor league
berth by resetting "Charlie Horses"
and othor dislodged muscles. Reeso
has a natural touch that discerns the
aliment Immediately.
Mundy Looks Good.
Mundy, the Red Sox's first baBp
man from the Virginia league, Is not
a very big fellow, but seems quite ac
tivo. He is a left-hander. In the first
game Manager Carrlgan Jerked him
out that ho might go in himself ne a
batter In a pinch, which was not very
encouraging to a youngster and hardly
the way to test his gameness.

DON'T EAT AND SAVE MONEY
Many Ball Players Make profits From
Expenses Allowed for Meals
Shecksrd la Big Eater.
Four members of the Pirates,
O'Toole, Adams, Robinson and Hyatt,
entered a little store near Ebbets field
In Brooklyn and ordered lunch. Each
player consumed a piece of pie and a
glass of milk 16 cents. When the
Cubs were there laet they stopped at
a first class hotel, European plan, and
most of them ate their meals at a big
beanery.
These factB aro cited to show how
ball players manage to save money.
While tho teams are on tho road the
players have the privilege of eating at
tholr hotel or outside. If they elect to
satisfy the inner man away from the
hotel they are allowed to chargo$3 a
day for meals. By spending 30 cents
for breakfast, 40 cents for lunch and
60 cents for dinner they are able to
make money In excess of their salaries.
6no of the big league teams recent
ly rode from St Louis to New York
on a 26-hour train. Each player was
allowed to put In a bill for meals on
the train not to exceed 2.B0. There
were three meals, yet practically all
of the players sidestepped breakfast
and eupper, having a big feed at the
noon hour. When the train reached a
station with a lunch room it might
have been Poughkeepsie several play
ers clubbed together and hurriedly
bought four sandwiches, two bananas
aridta bottle of milk, while the others,
arriving at the Grand Central station,

member of the Brooklyn team he made
himself ill by eating irregular mealsv
He used to leap off the train while on
the road at lunch towns and buy fruit,
hard boiled eggs or sandwiches. He
