danger they left the car in an orderly manner.
Engine Company No. responded to a local alarm
and extinguished the blaze The fire was caused
by the burning out of fuse. The damage was

red faced Ancient and Honorable Ar
tillery Issuing from an up to date
armory.
The proposed alterations will cost
about $125.00O. and a better building
could have been put up for less. But
1t would not have been the Cradle of
Liberty" and Bostonians wanted the
old building preserved.
The plan adopted contemplatcs the
entire reconstruction of the Interior
above the ground floor. The old floors
will be replaced by steel and prick. the
new roof will be of slate and steel. and
the inside walls will be OF steel and
plaster.
The greatest care will be taken to pre-
serve the exact original interior finish
in the reconstruction, except that steel
will take the place of wood. 1t has been
found that the original corners Of the
building stood on piles of common field
stone. These have been replaced by
granite and cement piles 16 feet deep.
The new steel supporting columns run
up In exactly the same positions the old
wooden ones occupied, and the dozens
of ancient wooden columns In the main
ones, painted to reproduce the old mot
tied coloring.
All the balcony rails, the wal panels.
the balustrades surrounding the bal
comics. the doors, windows and mold
lngs have been taken out and placed In
| fireproof storehouse until the time
comes to put them back in the old
places. When the new platform in the
main hall is rebuilt, the occasion will
be taken advantage of to rebuild II ex-
actly as 1t was in Peter Faneuils time.
not as Bostonlans of the present gem
Grafton remember 1t.
A new steel and terra Gotta brick
floor Is to be built for the Anclents' hall.
This floor Is to be raised IS inches in
order to make room for the heavy steel
girders. This plan will render the pres
ent tie rods in the AncIents' hall un-
necessary, and the result will be a clear
hall space unbroken by any supports.
The old lantern cupola has been torn
down, and new one with a steel
frame, an exact reproduction OF the
present wooden relic, Is to be raised In
It's place. 1t viii be covered with cop
per, which is to be treated with acid to
get the exact tint OF the old weather

the memory of the dead. Some ultra
| thinkers tell us that the mere wearing
| of black garments and heavy Grape is
of no benefit TO the dead and Is depress-
| ing to the living besides being very
expensive.
While that is true. tits equally true
| that no woman will believe II or con-
sent to appear after the death of a
| dear one in bright or indeed in any col
ors. 1t is not so much a tribute to Mrs.
| Grundy as some people seem to think.
II is the real expression of the over
| whelming and lrretrievable loss and
nothing could take its place. The black
garments seem to set the woman apart
| under the seal of sorrow, so that who
soever shall see her shall respect her
retirement and grief. Her mourning
makes her sacred.
OF all the countries II seems to me
that England is the most strict on the
rules governing the mourning gar
ments. These are based upon court
etiquette 10 great extent. While black
Is worn elsewhere for the same pur-
pose there Is always a shade of differ
ence.
Just now the recent deaths in the roy
al family have plunged the whole court
into new mourning. The Princess of
Wales, when she does wear mourning,
seems to have a great liking for Grape,
and IL almost covers every garment,
besides the long veil of heavy cour-
tauld. When any part of a robe or cape
shows at all, 1t is simply to form
background for the Grape above II.
Some very rich effects are produced
by having the skirt made of melrose,
eudora, silk warp henrietta or drap
d'ete or some one OF the rest of the
close smooth surfaced goods. Eudoral
Is the most perfect of them all. When
the skirt is made of one of the other
Of these fabrics, the Grape is cut out and
applied so as to simulate tunlc, or a
Grape skirt may be made and tunic OF
the goods arranged to fall over 1t. Folds
Of Grape are arranged as elging to re-
vers and collars. In fact, any simple
arrangement where folds Of Grape can
be laid on Is elegant.
One tunic Is cut so that a sharp point
extends down In front nearly to the bot
tom. This Is Of the fine eudora, with
two very narrow rolls Of Grape all
around II. II is shown in the illustra-
ton and Is q good style for mourning,
especially for home wear. though II can
also be worn abroad. It Is intended for
young person,
For widow more somber arrange
ment OF Grape is to be desired. For
many years II has been an article OF
faith for every widow to wear the little
white line of Grape around the edge of
her bonnet and no other white about
her attire. This was dlspleasing to
some, who did not like to parade the
telltale line to show exactly what grade
Of sorrow they were bearing. Now that
question is left to the lady. After the
first month she can leave that off. or.
indeed. II she prefers, she need never
wear 1t.

costume for early spring. The suit IL

think that since the courtauld, or
English, Grape has been made water
proof. as II now Is, II seems lighter
somehow. or at least It does not have
that heavy, dragging weight. Grape
cravanetted, or waterproofed, this way
Is a wonderfully useful invention,
lessening the mourner's anxieties and
expenses, for before this the least show
er or dampness would take out all the
crinkle and make II necessary to have
the Grape "reflnished" at the expense
Of dollar every time. A heavy rain
now has not the slightest effect on IL.
A very dainty toque for lady whose

mothers and widows need wear it
has several loops OF wired Grape with

with black satin foliage among them.
Others in form of hats have masses of
Grape loops and bows and two or three

A NEW FANEUIL HALL
eosToNs "cRApLE OF LIBERTY" BE-
ING DONE OVER IN STEEL AND IRON.

with Reverent Hands the Home Of
ing Protected From Danger OF Fire
and Dry Rot.
Historic old Faneuil hall, Boston's
'Cradle of Liberty" is being done over
In iron and steel. with much reverence
the job was attempted, and with great
care It is being carried on. Boston
would not swap Faneull hall for Nj
agara falls or all the pyramids, and II
Is only because the total destruction of
the old landmark by dry rot or fire was
threatened that the citizens consented
to having IL rebuilt
The old building has been In bad
shape for some time. The floor OF the
hall used by the Ancient and Honora-
bly, Artillery Company had sagged sew
eral inches, and efforts to raise II were
futile. The trusses that held the roof
had given way, and the additional
braces supplied had not proved sufii-
cient. Experts reported in favor of
tearing out the interior from the foun-
datlon and supplying a new structure
Of steel and fireproof material.
Fifteen or 20 years ago the inspector
of buildings called 1t bad fire risk,
and more recently the city has been
urged TO give the hall the best protec-
tion. The outer walls are of brick, and
these have been so well preserved by
mortar and paint that they are prnc-
tically as good today as when first
erected. But the entire interior of the
building Is of wood, and naturally
this has been attacked by dry rot in
places, and the danger from fire was
very great. The fire chiefs had also
called attention to the fact that the
building was a menace to surrounding
property, besides being place that
would surely endanger lives II u fire
should once start in 1t.
So committee was appointed. and 1t
reported in favor of reconstruction
without remodellng. The element that
wanted to tear down the Old South
church had no part in this. The IA
miliar cupola with its grasshopper vane
will remain. stained copper will coun-
terfeit the decaylng weatherboards. and
the outline and general detail of the
original building will be made perma-
nent. Any one with the typical Boston
spirit would be ruflled to see the pom

always shawls. Until short capes are
quite warm enough black woolen coats
or cloaks can be worn for run about.
The present rules governing the wear
Ing of mourning are these: The widow
should wear her weeds for year and a
day. The greater part of this costume
should be almost covered with Eng
lish Grape. The French and Itauan
| grapes are too light and flmsy for such
purpose.
With this must be worn the bonnet or
| toque with the long veil and the white
ruche. though. as / said before, this is
| no longer absolutely required.
This first year passed, Grape. though
| less, should be worn six months more
and then Grape can be taken off her
black clothes, but these should be worn
| for six months longer.
After that comes the period OF half
| mourning and IL she is still incon-
| solable they may be worn stlll longer.
This half mourning has much latitude
| allowed Black and white lilac, laven-
der, mauve. gray and white are all ad-
misslble. So is violet
With these can be made some lovely
things, well calculated to bring a CLEAN
of comfort to the weeping young Wild
| ow. Black and white are very fash
| ionable anyhow.
| Daughters are expected to wear Grape
mourning for three months. but with
out the wells, and black for six months
and half mourning for three. This
makes some very pretty hats, capes
and dresses possible. The fashloning
OF the deepest mourning for young girls
Is not so very different from other girls
gowns, and a mourning dress may and
should be as pretty as possible.
Sisters wear Grape for three months.
black for three more and half mourn
ing for six months. For a father or
mother all daughters old enough To
wear long dresses wear Grape for at
least six months and half mourning the
rest OF the year. The younger daugh-
ters wear blsck garments, and their
hats are OF felt or straw. according to
the season. and trimmed with lusterless
black ribbon and perhaps a few stiff
quills or short ostrich tips.
In this country women wear compli-
mentary mourning for their husbands
relatives, but not always, and we do
not have to go In mourning on court
occasions.
When a lady Is obliged to put on
mourning garb. she should pay strict
attention 10 many small matters In the
way OF costume. All her petticoats
should be black. her hosiery also. Her
gloves. cuffs. neckwear. combs. jew
els. belts. ribbons. parasols and hat
pins should be carefully chosen.
