What Will You Wear?


What is In prospect tor the American
woman who dresses according to the
dictates of that mysterious power that
is popularity believed TO intrust its de
crees to the hands ut the Parisians--
will the costumes show any radical de-
parb1re from the lines laid down in the
last season or two?
This problem was presented to a mo
dlste who has but recently returned
from consulting the oracles in the land
where the fashions are made.
The American woman" was the
answer, will find that the styles III
vogue last year are all exaggerated in
this seasons costumes, but she will
also find that there are no startling in
novations. Gowns were truthfully said
to be elaborate last year-not SO much
in effect, but In the amount of dainty
bandiwork upon them But this year
twice as much handiwork appears.
Look at these sleeves. See how
they are exaggerated. They are double
the size OF the sleeves last year
And they were, too. Tight.fitting
some were at the shoulders, while
others showed some little fullness at
that point, but all agreed in tlaring de-
cidedly at the elbow. In some OF ,ne
gowns the sleeves proper ended at the
elbow with a full, quaint-looking bell,
and beneath this, extending down to
the hand, was the undorsleeve of some
soft, sheer material. IN other gowns
the fare from the elbow was con
tinued down to the hand, anu there
was caught into a cuff of some con
trasting material, Tucks and trim
mings, slashes and appliques appeared
on others-in fact, in many of the
gowns almost as much skill was spent
in designing the sleeve alone as has
formerly been expended on the whole
gown.

STREET PAVING ADVOCATED.

A city with unpsved streets cannot be
expected to grow as rapidly, or to hold
it's population as well as city whose
streets are improved. Persons who have
been accustomed to living in cities where
all the streets are paved will not remain
any longer than their business demands
in a city where this comfort, convenience
and aid to health is neglected-unless
they are unable to get away. Those of
US who are to the manner born, or have
lived in Savannah for many years, are
so accustomed to ragged-edged, sandy
and unsurfaced streets that we manage to
tolerate them, hoping for better things
some day. But such streets are unclean,
unsightly and unbusinesslike, and greatly
retard the growth of the city. A pan
for extensive paving, to be paid for on the
installment plan, the payments covering
one, two, three four, FIVE or ten years. at
the option of the party who has to pay
the bill, would make paving popular and
payments easy, and result in a revolution
in the appearance of the city in ten years
time. Paving notes could be figured to
cover the interest which the city would
have to pay for such money ,as it might
find necessary to borrow. The plan
might be put into operation at once, as
the cash in hand required to start the
work would not have to be much. Paw
ing on this plan would mean the employ
ment, in one way or another, of 1000 men.
The money paid them in wages would be
spent at home, doing good in every
branch of business. 1t requires no gigan-
tic executive or financial ability TO car
ry out the scheme. 1t is not a new idea,
but has been practiced in Northern and
Western cities for years In it's Director
of Public Works and his assistants the
city has an organization ready to take
hold of the mechanical side of the ques-
tion, while the Mayor and Board of AL
dermen possess vastly more financial
ability than is necessary for this matter.
All of the streets worth paving can be
paved in ten years if those in charge
of the city's affairs will only SAY the
word"

1t seems that Travers was at a garden

out his watch, wabbled his mouth awhile,

BIGGER APPROPRIATIONS LOOKED
E-0R.

The indications are that the total Of
the appropriations at this session OF Con
g1ess will be something enormous. Con-
I gressmen are all the time saying that
there must be a reduction in the appro-
priations, but there is no reduction and
there will be none.
There are schemes innumerable before
Congress for taking money out Of the
treasury II Is not to be wondered at
that the leaders Of Congress are afraid
that reduction OF the war taxes will be
followed by q deficit in the treasury.
Before the Spanish American war the
appropriation for the army was about
$50, 600 900 year. 1t is now nearly $ls0,
O00,0OO. The pension appropriation Is larg-
or this year than in any previous year,
and there arc thousands of claims wait
ing to be adjusted. Congress is allowing
hundreds perhaps thousands. Of claims
that have been rejected by the Pension
Office. Congressman Shaw, who until re-
Gently was at the head of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has a scheme be-
fore Congress for passing upon rejected
pension claims faster than they can be
passed upon by Congress. He wants a
court Of appeals established that will con-
slider such claims. No doubt he will sue
coed in his efforts, and in the course OF
a few years We shall be paying 500 OOO,OOO
a year instead of the amount that is be-
ing paid now.
Another scheme for milking the treas
ury is that for retaining the arid lands
OF the West. What this scheme will ufi-
mately cost no one can predict with any
cgree Of certainty. 1t is safe to say that
it will take a thousand millions of dol
lars out of the pockets of the people If
1t gets che approval of Congress- and the
Indications are that it will get it. The
Public Lands Committee of the Senate
has prepared bill and attached it as sn
amendment to the sundry civil bill max
ing an appropriation for beginning the
work. The appropriation, in all probable
ty, wild be made.
If Congress goes on as it is now going
in the matter of appropriations there will
be need of creating new taxes instead OF
reducing those already in existence There
is an impression that the country is enor-
mousy rich and can stand any amount
OF taxation. Hence the extravaganza Of
Congressmen.

JUDGES CAN'T BE roo CAREFUL.

The comment that is being made on
an alleged utterance of Mr. Justice Har.
Ian at dinner of the Loyal Legion in
New York last week, shows that judges
ccnnot be too careful in their expressions
of opinion on public questions when cases
OF great national Importance are pending
before them. In his remarks at the din
ner Justice Harlan, it was reported, gave
expression TO the following opinion
The fathers of the Republic never in
tended or desired that Congress should
have authority or any power over any
part of the surface of the earth free from
the letter and the spirit of the constitr-
ton"
When Justice Harlan was asked
whether or not the report was correct.
he said:
Il said nothing which could by any
construction be applied TO any pending
question. l deny that l said anything that
could be tortured into reference to the
colonial cases"
There is widespread interest in the
Porto Rico and Philippine cases. The
decision in those which have been argued
will It is expected be rendered very soon.
1t would be unfortunate II there SHOULD
be anything said or done in connection
with these cases that would tend to lee
sen public confidence in the court.
Some time ago there was some adverse
comment on the action of the President
in appointing the sons OF Justice Harlan
and Justice Brewer to positions IN
Porto Rico. IT was limited that these
appointments might be construed as an
effort by the President TO influence the
two judges TO uphold the administration
in the Porto Rico cases. No one of course
seriously believed that the appointments
had any effect on the judges in ques-
ton, and il can be safely said that the
President had no idea of influencing them
when he made the appointments. Sun,
II would have been better If the appoint
ments had not been made, aud il is prob.
able that Justice Harlan would feel better
II he had said nothing at the Loyal Legion
dinner that could be so twisted as 10 have
a bearing on the Porto Rico casee.

But which is the Ounce? You have one,
