WHAT CAUSES TIE DELAY

Some surprise Is caused by the fact
that the Secretary OF War has left
Washington on junketing excursion
before acting on the report of the Board
Of Expert Engineers on the construction
OF the New York and New Jersey
Bridge.
II is an open secret that Mr.. Lamont,
for some reason. has not been friendly
towards that great enterprise. When
the first Bridge bill was vetoed for what
were generally regarded an insufficient
reasons. the new bill was made to con
form IN all respects with the sugges-
lions and objections set forth in the
veto message. II was also provided that
a board OF engineers should be appoint
cd by the President TO investigate and
report on the plan of construction, sub
5ect 10 the confirmation OF their COuclu,
sIons by the Secretary OF War. Under
these circumstances. IL seems most sin
Gular that any further delay or obstruc,
lions should be placed In the way Of az
enterprise OF such vast Importance TO tn,

venience OF travel and 10 the military

Bob-GirIs in Pantaloon Dress.
Tailors, as every well-dressed man
knows import a line of cloths expressly
manufactured for pantaloons. It 10

ing cloths run to stripes. checks, broken
plaids Of skeleton lines and pretty mix

are rather loosely woven, absolutely
weather-proof and represent the highest
skill Of the draper, since service and
beauty are combined. These cloths
caught the fancy Of the b-girls. as the
cutters call them. and are now being
worn In the form Of pantaloon dresses.
Ladies' tailors predict a craze. The style

Fall trade. Coats and vests of smooth
cloths are worn with the pantaloon
dresses.

A girl who deliberately marries with

A Hint to f.,

At about twenty-seven or twenty-eight
the average woman begins to get stout.
or let us call It plump. The girl who
from twenty-four to twenty-seven had
an Ideal figure begins now to get too
much. She herself does not realize 1t,
because her waist stays the same. or
gets even smaller. Chiefly because of
this has come the increase above and be-
low the corset line-below especially. A
roll of flesh is pusdeh out below the
corsets. and this means getting fat.
Now is the time-not to tighten up but
to loosen. Proportion is the important
beauty of figure, not small waist.
The proportion of your figure demands
more girth. Give 1t; loosen up till the
roll of flesh pushed out below the stays
disappears

To Carve Roast Reef.

When the rib beef Is well roasted take
It from the oven and put 1t on hot
dish with the rib bones downward. Cut
off just little of the crust from the
top. Stick in the fork slantingly near
the edge and hold It firmly with the left
hand. while with the right evenly cut
small slices, one-third of an inch thick,
down to the rib bones. Then cut under
meath to separate the slices, and serve.
Some gentlemen like a squeeze of lemon
when the roast comes out OF the oven.
The gentle folks OF Germany serve
stewed dried fruits with a rib. To the
beef-lovers of Great Britain this is
taking objectionable liberties with the
juicy cows.

Adam and Eve Were Not Alone.

To the Editor:
Several days ago I wrote q letter on the ques-
ton OF Where Did Cain Get His First wife1'
II you remember said that 1t could not have
been from among his fathers daughters for the
reason that Adam had none until after the birth
OF Gains child. In last evenings paper l OBJ
served . letter from ''Dunavansa," In which he
stated that In collection OF old irish legends he
noticed that mention 10 made Of the daughters OF
Adam. He goes on to Infer that Cain selected one
OF these for bio wife. The fact Of Adam having
had three daughters may be true, but none o..
these were born previous to Gains marriage
Now. the purpose Of my letter Ia to prove that
people other than Adam, Eve and Cain lived at
the time OF Gains banishment. making use OF the
Bible az my proof. For, Gains fear that every
one that hndeth me shall Stay me- would have
been entirely sroundless, and Gods reply :hst
''whososver slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be
taken on him seven fold would DO unnecessary
had no other people existed It would also have
been useless to mark Cain, for certainly his par
ents knew him. Another thing Soon after the
birth Of Gains son he built a city. Now, It is
utterly incomprehsnsibie TO believe that he built
a city alone, especially At such early period
Of life Nothing appears more plausible than
that other people lived in the Land Of Nod. and
that II was these that assisted him. II is prob
able that Cain selected his wife from among
them. G. T. NJ. 20"
