NOW Wntch ,hnins.

Many a girl will be glad to learn that a
fad has arisen among gentlemen. The
latest masculine craze Is for evening
watch chains studded with jewels. The
chief point about these chains is that they
are much more slender than those for day
wear. 1t used to be the fashion to wear
no chain at all in the evening but a spe-
cial watch was worn which was extremely
fat and did not cause the dress vest to
bulge out in the slightest. Men are still
wearing these evening dress watches, but
with them now goes the delicate chain.

ARE FIGURING CLOSE
CAPITOL COMMISSIONERS WILL
CERTIFICATES TOMORROW
CAN CAPITOL BE FINIsHED9

Recent Advances I'm the Cost of
Building Material Have Made a
Considerable Increase In the Ex-
pected Cost of Certain PORTIONS
of the WOrk-Dome May Have to
Go UnbuiIt.
Tomorrow the state board Of capitol
commissioners meets to open proposals
for the new issue of certificates of in
debtedness which it is proposed to
float
It is possible that at this meeting, too,
the board may consider the advisability
of letting new contracts for steel, floor
ing, etc.
The recent rise in the prices Of build
ing materials has gut the board in some
thing Of a dilemma. AS yet, of course,
exact figures can not be produced, as
the amounts necessary for the steel Cir
ders, fire prooting, ETC., which will be
such large factors in the construction of
the building cannot be learned, and def
intely, but 1t is apparent that 1t IS GO
ing to require some very close figuring
to keep the expense of construction with
in the limit of 100000 fixed by the leg
islature. Some builders are inclined to
the belief that the commission will be
unable to complete the building on its
present plans with the dome, while others
encourage the commission with the be-
lief that the building can be finished,
SO far as It's exterior appearance is con-
cerned, at least, for the amount which
will be available. This contingency
might be met by reduction in the mag
nificenee of the interior, the marble cell
ings and wainscotings in some caseS
planned being replaced by stucco, posi-
bly,.
Some saving, too, it is figured, can be
| made by changing the plans which as
originally planned provide for magnifi-
cent series of granite steps approaching
the main colonnade on the south front
of the building.

A woman who has acquired a reputation
for cleverness attained it simply by
knowing how to hold her tongue. When
ever she was not thoroughly informed
upon a subject and did not feel able to
talk intelligently upon it she simply held
her tongue, looked wise and said nothing.
Other people did the talking, and she lis
