What baby would look so sweet and,
altogether lovely if its delicate lace and
ilmy dresses were replaced by mans
dress coat? And it is nearly the same
with young girl, who, believing in the
perfection of her beauty, thinks she
can dare everything. But see how
sweet and lovely she looks IN her fil1ny
ball dress of soft crepe, with the gath
cred neck, the loose, short sleeves with
the bowknot at the shoulders, and the
white satin corselet, and the light, flow
ing skirt.
And there she is with her wrap on as
she is when she slips out with Jack or
Fred or some one else to look at the stars
and hear the dear old story that each
girl somehow believes hes never been
told before This wrap is generally put
on by the watchful chaperon, and it is
variously made of white or cream CASH
mere, soft faille in white, cream or pale
blue, old rose or biscuit eoZor, and lined
with surah or Florentine silk. The edges
are finished as pleases the wearer's fancy
best-with narrow band of feathers,
chenille fringe, moss trimmings, or
sometimes beaded gold galloon. There
is, anyhow, a little gold GALLON along
the shoulders and heading the funnel
shaped plait in the back and down the
front.
This wrap calls to mind one that was
made very recently for Mrs. Willie z.
Vanderbilt. Hers was of cream white
Sicellienne silk, lined with gold colored
satin. There was rich and most elab-
crate gold embroidery on the yoke and
down the fronts, and the collar was
stiff with gold embroidery. A thick,
gold cord and tassel ON each side tied at
the neck in long looped knot, and still
the heavy tassels reached nearly to the
foot of the dress. The shape was al
most exactly the same as the illustra-
ton here, only the Vatican plat was
fiat instead Of funnel shaped. Cream
ladies' cloth, braided in gilt braid,
makes rich wrap suitable for opera,
balls and swell receptions, and nearly
every lady can braid one for herself
even if she cannot finish without the
help of a dressmaker.
Another dainty and feminine garment
is the tea gown, which has displaced the
wrapper entirely, it is said; but some
people have shrewd idea that when a
tea gown has lost its first freshness it is
no longer worn to be admired as my.
lady pours her tea for her friends, but is
made to do duty in the morning for
many days thereafter.
One just finished by leading up town
house is of oriental striped silk with 81
changeable sheen, the prevailing colors
brown and green, with q golden glow
and CLEAN hidden away in it somewhere
which show in htful flashes. The sleeves
are 'sangel sleeves and are edged with

TO PRESERVE THEIR CITY HALL.
This Building, weighing $4,000 Tons,

This Building, Weighing $4,000 Tons,
to be Raised 200 Feet.
A novel plan for the erection OF new
New York City Hall has been propounded
by A. e. Beach, a well known and emf
nent architect of that city.
The architects plan is to insert an iron
floor under the old building and then to
raise the entire structure. While this
process OF elevation is going on new
pulidlng would be constructed under
meath. Mr.. Beach says this present
structure can be raised without injury to
its walls.
The total weight to be lifted Is esti-
mated at 25,o0o tons, and it is proposed to
GO this by an hydraulic engine. 1t is pos
slole, the architect AYERS, to arrange
ram by which one man working pump
lever can elevate the whole building to
the desired height. The old City Hall
would then crown the new edifice, which
would occupy 200 by 800 fest ground
space. The new building would be fl
teen stories, or 200 feet high, or, includ-
ing the old Hall and cupola, 314 feet. The
approximate cost will be 100000
The new structure is to be built on the
site OF the present City Hall, and the
City Hall of to-day, which has seen
generations of aldermen come and go for
over eighty years, will be perched like a
crow on top of the building where the
city fathers of the future will talk wisely
of the past days of boodledom.
The plans are now completed for the
new building, which, when finished, will
be the finest in the city. 1t will be built
on such plan that the old City Hall will
look becoming crown for it, and its
pillared glories will have in the entire
structure fitting elimination.
The City Hall of to-day is generally
conceded to be one of the finest specimens
OF Italian architecture in the country. It
is a typical specimen of the buildings
during the renaissance, that wonderful
period when civilization sprang with
giant strides from the lap of barbarism,
and art, science and literature spread with
rapidity which made it look like the age
OF miracles.
The present City He'll is 21e feet long
and los feet wide. It's construction was
begun in 1908 and it was completed and
occupied by the mayor and aldermen on
July 4, 1911. The cost of the building
was about $500, Joe, and John McComb, of
this city, was the architect. The sculp-
lures of the stone work, including the
Ionic and Corinthian columns, with tho
pilasters and capitals, were executed by
John Lemair, from plans drawn by John
McComb. On account of the many
historic associations, connecting the
building with the rise of the city, CRY
arose from citizens everywhere for it's
preservation. This was one of the causes
of the objections to the site chosen for the
new City Hall.
1t was supposed at first that the plan of
placing the old building on top Of the
new was chimerical. There was nine
days wonder when the Brighton Beach
Hotel was moved back bodily 100 feet
from the, sea, and there were weeks of
preparation for the event. But it is a
wooden building, and the City Hall is
solid masonry.

Correcting the Slant OF Japanese Eyes.
"The Japanese are not only adopting
American social and business customs,
but they are also trying to conform their
physical features to the appearance of
Americans" said n. D. Neumann, of San
Francisco, at the Southern Hotel. 81 was
in Yokohoma recently, and met there
several American and German doctors
who were getting rich by strengthening
the slant in the Japanese eye to make it
look like the beloved Caucasian's optic.
The japanese, you know, show the traces
OF their Mongolian origin more plainly
in the shape OF their eyelids than in the
color of their skin, and those who can
afford it are Kidding themselves OF this
unmistakable evidence of their despised
ancestry by submitting to simple and
comparatively painless surgical operation,
which consists In the surgeon splitting
the outer rim of the eyelid in a straight
line for the barest infinitesimaI part of
an inch. The wound is then covered with
a thin piece OF chemically prepared stick
ing plaster, the faithful subject of the
Mikado goes on about his business as il
nothing had happened, and in few days
the wound is healed and he looks on his
envious fellows through lids as straight
as the American's. 1t is contended by
scientists that this racial physical defect
in she Japanese eyelids will entirely dis
appear in few generations If each sue
ceoQing generation continues to undergo
the surgical operation described. The ex-
pertinent is of especial value to the student
OF evolution. st. Louis Globe Demo-

NEW CITY HALL WITH CID ONE ON TOP.
Nothing, however, seems to be impossi-
bic now. According to the Ieans pre-
sented, the present City Hall will have a
thick iron floor inserted under it, and
then by means of jacks the entire struct-
ure will be raised bodily in such way
that there can be no strain in any part OF
it. While the lifting is in progress, the
construction of the new building under
meath will be carried on, and when the
whole work is completed, the old City
Hall will stand on the same historic site,
overlooking the metropolis at an eleva-
ton from which a sightseer with good
glass can sweep the city at view from
the Battery to Westchester County.
The new City Hail. on the lines
proposed, will occupy a considerable
amount of sky space, but the area Of
ground needed will be comparatively
small. It will require 81 feet Of tho
ground at each side east and west OF the
present building, and 81 feet on each side
north and south.
A. e. Beach, the proposer of the plan
for preserving and raising the City Hall,
is well known as the designer OF the Beach
hydraulic shield, mechanism by which
number Of important engineering works
have been carried out.
Among these are the great railway tun-
mel under the st. Clair River, between the
United States and Canada. Should the
plan OF raising the City Hall to its pro-
posed height succeed, 1t is said that the
plan will be adopted to preserve on their
present sites many other buildings Of his
toric interest.

The Eye and Ear Infirmary Fair.

We produce this morning cut of the
Eye and Ear Infirmary, which is to be
brought prominently before the people of
Portland by the fair next week. The
structure is one of which every Portlander
should be proud. Its exterior, already
finished, shows it to be one of the hand
soonest of the city's public buildings;
while the interior, when completed, will
probably be as well arranged and adapted
to the special work, as any other similar
Institution in the United States, or even
in the world.

New YORK, May 12.-The beauty of
wonan's dress depends upon its dainti-

bon and lace, of feather and flower, of
embroidery and ornament, and it is on
those trifles-trides in themselves, but
important factors taken as a whole
that women must depend for their great

HER MOST INTERESTING AGE.

This question was recently dis
cussed by an artist, an author and a
woman of society. The artist said
he did not like to paint the portraits
of those between 25 and 40 years.
Before 25 the face has an expectancy
which charms; it is looking forward
with joyous freshness and hope, and
it is full of puzzling promises. At
40 years the character is formed and
the lines of the countenance are
stronger in the painters study; but
in intervening years the face has lost
its expectancy, is apt to be indiffer-
emit and has no particular interest.
The author differed; he liked to
study women between the ages Of 80
and 40. They had then the expert
ence of the world and the joyous
ness of youth. In those years they
were brightest and most interesting.
The society woman thought it was
impossible to give general answers to
the question, as individual women
differ in regard to the most attract
i've age. Some are most charming at
go years, while others have passed
their prime at 90. At 80 or upward
the best nature of a woman will show
to every advantage, but probably the
balance of opinion will turn in favor
of from Is to 25.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the best answer would be that
women are always interesting to the
friends who love them Young La
