Three Plans for Increasing seating ca.
pacity Under Confederation.
The usual Thursday nights prayer
meeting AZ Plymouth church last evening
was followed by business discussion on
the project Of enlarging the church which
was decided upon q week previous.
Three plans for accomplishing this end
are now under discussion and all have
more or less support. The first contem-
plates removal Of the floor of the main
auditorium where the regular services are
now held, the result being one large room
which shall include the present basement.
In addition to this important change two
galleries are proposed in this plan, one on
the north and one on the south side. 1t
is estimated that this will increase the
seating capacity of the church by 500,
making total of about 300. To COM
pensate for the loss of the basement and
Sunday school room which would result.
an addition is proposed on the north side,
to be built upon the unoccupied piece of
ground on that side. The objection to this
plan as urged last evening was that it
sacrificed Sunday school and other room
in the basement to the mere matter of
seating capacity and did not adequately
compensate for the loss of the same.
The second plan proposed is to move the
east wall and with it the organ, chancel
and pulpit back twenty feet. so AZ to util-
lie the space on that side. This, it was
estimated. would add 800 to the present
seating capacity Of the church. This plan
seems to be favorably considered.
The third plan is to raise the roof and
its large supporting girders and erect
galleries within the present main audi
forum. This is said to be somewhat
delicate task and also a quite expensive
one. though it, too, has adherents among
the members Of the church. Some draw
ings have been prepared. but no details
have been worked out and no satisfactory
estimates of comparative cost have as yet
been presented. The discussion will be
continued OH Thursday night next

INDIFFERENCE TO PAIN.

Generally speaking, the more civiliZ-
ed and refined races are more sensitive
to pain than barbarous and unciViliZed
races. This was proved by DR.. Felkin
in a series of carefully planned expert
ments which he made upon Arabs, ne
grOeS and Europeans. The stoical for
titude of the Arabs he considered due
to peculiar mental characteristics, Of
which mental repression, self-cOntrOl
and logged endurance were the leading
features. The Indifference to pain in
negroes, he thought was due to dimin-
ished general sensibility, and he was
led to believe that the relative sensi-
bility of Europeans, Arabs and negroes
was in the proportion of one, two and
three. A New Zealander has been
known to chop off his great toes so
that he might get on a pair Of boots
which had been given to him. On one
occasion a native Australian came to a
settlement to get a wooden leg, his own
leg being burnt away at the knee. 1t
had been wounded SO severely that am
putatfon was necessary, and, as his
tribe had no appliances to stop the flow
of blood, his leg had been simply burnt

SHIRT WAIST AND GIRDTF
Where the Skirt and Blouse Fall ar

A few years ago when the bang

became Intimate, always sealed the
bond of true confidence by telling each
other how they did their front hair.

the reign of the shirt waist and girdIe.
the burning question is: How do Won
keep your belt DOWN." The seeming
ly simple costume of blouse, skirt and
belt is really as difficult to realize in
perfection as most seemingly simple
things. The hour fashion decreed that
the tails" of the blouse were to dis
appear inside the dress skirt and a
black ribbon belt was to clasp the
Joining between shirt and skirt wo-
mans lot received another cross.
Watch the trim scores of girls that

rounded, womanly figures in the simple.
silk or linen shirt waist the well hung
dark skirt and the broad black belt:
then venture to turn your head and
gaze after any one of these diyinities
as she glides past and away from you.
There is a fatal hiatus between the
gathers of the back breadth of that
well hung skirt and the broad black
ribbon belt mademoiSelle has passed
round her dainty waist. The skirt and
the bet it is Sewed to have slipped
from under the outer, separate rib
bon belt, and the wearer knows it is
and is far more unhappy about it than
you can possibly be. Just as the girls
thought the blazer had solved their
difficulties and draw veil over that
miserable divorce between bet and
skirt which is the bane of their ex-
lStence, along came fashion again and
cut off the tails of the blazer almost
to the shoulder blades and Sternly

are not built for the blouse, the skirt
and the belt, as at present constructed
and combined. There is something
really sad in the bad treachery Of the
most desperate eXpedients, as when a
natty girl in an immaculate duck suit
seats herself at a restaurant table for
lunch; the weight of her body drags
her skirts, the separate belt remains
stolidly unmoved, and a large brass
safety pin, falsely so called, is dis
closed, with which she had hoped to
secure all her petticoats, as it were
to her very vertebrae.

WE'LL DRESSED FOR FIVE MIN
UTES.
Odd Within Of a Working Girl the Day
Before Her Wedding.

1t was queer young woman that
the shop girls are talking of in one
of the Brooklyn shopping stores. She
was neatly but not richly dressed, and
she came with two or three other
young women. She looked over the
most elegant dresses that were on
sale, and insisted upon seeing 1.-The
most expensive evening dress" Of the
lot. She particularly wanted it cut
as low in the bodice as any that are
worn. The only garment of the kind
that was in stock was a gorgeous light
purple silk, eXquisitely trimmed with
velvet ribbon. 1t was somewhat too
large, and the saleswoman insisted
that it was no use to try it on; but
the young girl was equally determined
to see how it looked on her.
At last she was taken to what was
called the Evening room, with its dozens
Of electric lights and its walls of plate
mirror glass, and there she put on the
$500 robe and called in the sales
woman and the women who had come
with her. The dress was too loose
and too long. but the girl had pretty
neck and shapely arms, and evidently
admired them as much as she did the
gown, while she turned around and
around and scrutinized her appearance
in the mirrors Finally she regretted
that the dress could not be altered
within a few hours, though she had
been so informed before she had put
it on, and said she was sorry, but she
would have to look elsewhere. As she
was leaving the store one of the sales
women heard her say:
There, now, I am satisfied TO be
married tomorrow and bury myself in
the country. 1t was my last chance in
this life to be really dressed up. Now
[ am satisfied, though l should have
liked 10 wear a few diamonds"

A copper wire cable will be suspend
ed over the center Of the river, which
is for the most part about three hundred
feet in width. and electric power will
be conveyed TO small boats similar to
the manner of running electric railways.
The idea is that this will become the
most popular route for tourist travel.
Another, and the main feature Of
the scheme, is to convey the surplus
power down the river where it will be
used for pumping the water Of the
river river to a height of from fifteen
to twenty feet upon mesa lands for ir-
rigation, converting an area larger than
Massachusetts, now a desert, into a
garden where fruit will ripen in April,
May and June, commanding the high
