been attained, it is morally certain that
the world will have another garden
spot" equal in richness to any now
known, for the wash of alluvial soil
and the decayed vegetable matter that
has fallen for ages undecided and un-
seen have enriched the ground beyond
computation. The climate is tropical,
frost being unknown, and the produc-
ton of sugar and fruits is only matter
Of moderate industry and the least little
patience.
An indication of the probable success
Of the scheme, providing the money is
really supplied, is found in the condi-
ton of the great Disston sugar planta-
ton This tract lies to the north Of
Lake Okechobee and was not as marshy
as the Everglades proper, but it was of
rimilar character, and only within a
few years past was it reclaimed by
drainage, as it is now proposed to re-
claim the glades. Today il is of enor-
nous value and is devoted to the sue
cessful cultivation of sugar.
The Everglades are interspersed with
islands and with shoals where the wa
ter lies only a few inches over the soil,
but in places the pools and crooked
channels are five or ten feet in depth.
1t is claimed that with two exceptions
the territory has never been explored or
even crossed by white men, though the
Indians seem to know their way around
in it. Two reporters from the New Or
leans Times-Delnocrat crossed it in
1888, and in 1892 Mr.. Ingraham
made similar trip from Fort Meyers
to the eastern border of the glades

Mrs. Tenspot led the way up stairs
and produced the new gown, holding it
before her in order to set off its heau-

1t was admired by Mrs. Fairfax to
the makers hearts content, and tbs
caller said:
The very idea of Your making a
garment like that yourself! But yoa are
so very smart. I'm sure 1 could never

ooh, no. Mrs. Twill, who always

"I'm so glad to hear you say so, for

white and was very stylish. The blue
Russian duck and the blue and white
dotted ducks are wrought into many
very pleasing combinations. where dot
ted. plain and striped goods all go to
make up the one suit.
Pique is also one of the stout stuffs
for summer gowns. The dark reds and
blues are very useful, but the white
pique and duck gowns are liked best.
One white pique has rather long and
wide skirt with tunic simulated upon
it by the application of fine, black SOU
tache sewed in interlaced scroll design,
with lines of black guipure insertion
reaching from the waist to the bottom
of the simulated tunic. This has wavy
pattern at the bottom. The waist is a
plain shirt design of pique with black
ribbon tie and belt. The black and
white combinations are even more pop
ular than it was expected they would be.
1 noticed in one leading house several
suits of seersucker in good solid color
ings. Twas told seersucker is intended
mostly for outing suits and that bathing
costumes in great numbers are being
made up of it. 1t is certainly good for
that purpose, as it does not hold water
or cling to the body, but it has rather
common look. If you want 10 be really
swell, get for your bathing suit black
silk warp henrietta or cravanette in
plain colors and have it trimmed with
fiat bands of satin ribbon in some pre-
ferred color. Cherry red and scarlet-in
fact, all the reds-hold their color.
Some of the new bodices show novel
and generally pleasing effects-one l
have mentioned. Three others shown in
the illustration present three distinct
types. The lower one shows dark gray
silk with blouse tucked on the shoul-
ders and sleeves and with a wide plat
in front Another shows 81 very neat
and pretty jacket with shaped skirts
and wide. sharp revers. The suit is of
drab cloth, the revers Of white satin en-
broidered in gold thread. The third has
bias folds across somewhat in surplice
form, though it reminds me irresisribly
of boards ON fence. STILL in the ma
terial, deep gray twilled poplin almost
dead fine, it was beautiful, partly be-
cause it was so neS. The grimpe was
of white satin overlaid with guipure
Bias folds simulated double notched
tnnic on the skirt. Sleeves are not by
any means so tight as they were. and
that | am glad of, for on hot days
tight sleeve is liable TO make "the

has the whole laid in very narrow plalts

Louisville, KY, June 10.-The
owners of the Lee line steamers, whose
home port is Memphis, are preparing
plans and specifications for the con-
struction of one of the finest. fastest
and largest steamers on the rivers os
America, the name of which will be
Stalker Lee, and her run will be be-
tween Memphis and New Orleans.
She will be very finely finished in all
her departments as were such steamers
as the Robert j. Ward, Eclipse, EN-
press and Princess in the ante-bellum
days, the most magnificent period of
river navigation. The Lee line is
now building the Peters Lee and
Raes Lee at Howards' and as soon
as they are launched another smaller
boat will be built for them, and then
will come the Stacker Lee.
