The summer girl Of 1903 is In bloom in
the midwinter resorts of Florida, Louisi-
ana and other southern states, where the
fashionables congregate in the late winter
and early spring to enjoy warm weather
and to get away from the chill winds and
penetrating rains Of the north. And mi
ladi who frequents these resorts is every
bit as much summer girl as she is at
Newport, Narragansett, Bar Harbor and
Saratoga four months later. She is the
same dainty, delicate, airy bit Of fen1inin
ity gowned after a fashion that cannot
help but make her attractive.
There is nothing, perhaps with regard
to which miladi has declared herself more
enphatically than the linen and lace wash
dress. We have had garments on this
order before. but never to the extent that
they are being worn to-day at Palm Beach.
Beautiful affairs in heavy bleached linen
combined with wide bands and galloons of
in are all the go. Medallion effects are
somewhat in evidence, but are less seen
than the bands.
Not quite so dressy, but certainly more
practical, are the natural linen effects
trimmed with ecru lace livened with bit
of ribbon trimming. Narrow lack velvet
IS a particular favorite. while satin rib
bol1s are by no means forgotten.
The good old stand blythe lawn dress
-is still considered very modish, and the
girl whose purse permits of a generous
supply of thin gowns will invariably in
clude several lawn effects in her selec-
ton. Plain lawn is favored by some, but
the fancy weaves are probably more worn.
The skirts are mostly rather plain, fit
ting tightly over the hips and then show
ing just enough fulness below this point
to insure absolute freedom of motion. They
are unlined in the main, though some of
the lace inserted ideas show background
of self-material in the form OF an under-
skirt. In many others, however, the at
tractive sheer white lawn petticoat worn
underneath is allowed to show through.

THE CASE FOR THE PANAMA CANAL.

The panama route was selected more

canal commission. which advised the Sc
lection of tn same rOut" a. tn" one best
adapted tor canal to he huilt by the
| United states government. Tho Panama
route does not have the lowest summit and
II is not the shortest line. The lowest sum
nit is on the Nicaragua route and is near
ly 200 feet lower than the natural summit
at Panama. The shortest route between
the two oceans IL the San Bias route which
is nearly ~ miles less than the Panama
rout,. But the Nicaragua route in spite
off its low summit, is four times as long
between oceans as the Panama route and
he san Elas route with its short distance
has - summit four times as high as the
summit at Panama, There Is no single
feature Of the Panama route which is not
inferior to "a corresponding feature of some
other route. ON the other hand, there is
no route in which tn" worst feature is not
a great deal worse than the corresponding
feature at Panama. After balancing all
the Panama route comes out ahead. The
two serious features of the Panama route
are the control of the ChaRreS river and
