6 really pretty materials are
obtainable SO cheaply. and
now also that fashion seems to look so
kindly upon the many charming modes
which are eminently suitable from the
very fact of their simplicity, to the
special requirements of mademoiselle.
Just now, when the summer season is
almost upon us with its wealth of light
and dainty materials for charming and
inexpensive gowns, seems an appropri-
ate time to say something to the girls
along that line
To the girl who is going away for
the summer to the seashore or lake
or mountain resort, or the girl who is
to spend the months at home. some
thing quite new and very pretty in
the way of dainty dressing Jacket
should prove specially interesting. 1t
is just such jacket as this which our
artist has illustrated in one of the ac-
companying sketches, and although the
design is an exceptionally pretty one,
the Jacket might nevertheless be very
successfully attempted by a clever
home dressmaker, such as many of the
girls OF the present day have proved
themselves to be-
The material suggested for the dress
Ing jacket in question is one of the new
patterns in Viyella, with little punches
of flowers in pale shades of pink and
green, scattered over an ivory-white
background The jacket is prettily
gathered on cords all the way round,
the cords going across the back and
front, and also along the top of the
sleeve. The collar is of fine muslin or
lawn, with white embroideries. 1t is,
of course, detachable, as it will proba-
bly, need to be washed more often than
the Jacket itself. If embroidered lawn
is not forthcoming the collar might be
made out of two embroidered hand
kerchiefs, cut across diagonally, so that
they make four points. This collar is
finished in front in quite a new way,
with large buttons covered with rib
bon, and sewn in the center of ribbon
rosettes, which are then finished with
loops and ends. The sleeves are drawn
into a band of embroidered lawn, and
finished with killed lawn frills. and ro-
settles and loops Of ribbon to match the
trimming in front.
This delightful little jacket for smart
occasions, but for those who prefer
something of a simpler kind the same
idea might be carried out very success
fully in floral Viyella. without any rib
bon trimming, and with collar and cuffs
of plain cream Viyella, outlined with
Misunderstanding or narrow cream silk
washing braid. The petticoat which
has been sketched with this dressing
Jacket would be very suitable for early

Lo's. begun.
The city of Washington is growing
to the northwest with a rapidity which
attracts the attention of all observers.
Fifteen years ago the business center
was on Pennsylvania avenue, between
Ninth and Fourteenth streets. At that
time F street, two blocks to the north,
was chiefly occupied by residences. Ten
years ago the center of business had
been shifted from the avenue to F.
street, and almost every residence had
been transformed into 4 shop.
F street is still the center. but with
in another five years it will have lost
its prestige. for places of business are
encroaching almost daily on tho
streets farther north and west Within
ten years the business center will be
H street, and Connecticut avenue, from
Fourteenth street west to Seventeenth,
a neighborhood which until within the
last three years was regarded as the
swell residence section of the town.

Cost of an Improved Road.

Replying to an inquiry in the Ga
zette as to the cost per mile of six
inch gravel road surface laid with
roller, S. G. Lancaster, of Madison
county, Tenn, referring 10 some road
laid in that locality, says: Part of
the material used comes from south
ern Illinois, and part of it has been
obtained on the Tennessee river, about
80 miles east of us. A 12-foot road,
with gravel laid six inches in the CEN
ter and four inches on the side. after
rolling complete, costs, approximately.
$4,000 per mile. This varies somewhat
with the nature of the grading and
the distance the material is hauled by
wagons. This season we are arrang-
ing to haul our material from the cars
to the roads with traction engines and
especially constructed steel cars, and
we expect to reduce the cost consider
ably over team hauling, and hope to
be able to build 12-fcot road for an
proximately $500 where the grading
does not exceed $500 per mile.

DRAFT SENT TO CONGRESS.
Bill Appropriating 5000 for Clearing
the River of Ice.

The Commissioners today sent to Con-
gress the draft of bill appropriating 5000
to be used in clearing the Potomac river
of Ice The Commissioners request that, in
view of the threatening conditions the ap-
preparation be made available at once.
AS stated in The Star last Saturday, Har-
bormaster Sutton reported to Commissioner
Macfarland that all of the recent appropria-
tion of 5000 for keeping the river Gear
of ice will have been expended by tomorrow
night. Mr.. Sutton urged the necessity of
an immediate appropriation to meet present
needs, stating that unless the work of
breaking the ice in the river is continued
the lower part Of the city will likely be
submerged in water on account of an ice
gorge.
unusually arduous this winter is indicated
In the report made by the harbormaster
He states that the work OF clearing the
river of ice was started January q. Six
tugs, fitted with ice plows, were hired for
the work at a cost of about 500 day, and
the work was continued until January IS,
when the river was cleared of ice.
The river was again frozen over between
January % and February Q, and the tug
boats were again put to work, the ice being
cleared away the 9th Of February On ac-
count of the severe weather up to the 23d
instant the harbormaster was again obliged
to put the ice-boat feet to work, and the
tugboats are still employed.
Harbormaster Sutton stated to a re-
porter for The Star today that the ice is
gorged from the Aqueduct bridge as far as
the Chain bridge. The ice. he states, is
frozen to depth of about fifteen inches
from bank to bank. At the Three Sis-
| ters,'' he says. the conditions are partcu-
| larly threatening. as the ice Is banked up
| several feet high across the river.
When the thaw comes, said Mr.. SUIT
| ton, land the gorge breaks, the ice will
| go down the river and lodge about the piers
| of the Long bridge. and then We will have
| a mighty hard time to keep the gorge from
| forming at the bridge and flooding the
| lower part of the city,.
The harbormaster states that the work
| will be particularly dangerous on the river
near the Three Sisters" This morning he
| sent the tugboat feet up the river, but in
| structed the men In charge to be very care
| full. and that should the gorge give way
| the men were to get their boats away at
once. This winter. he says. has been un-
usually severe and the work ON the river
has been arduous on account of the fire.
| quent freezing of the river.
The conditions at present, Mr.. Sutton de-
| clares. are even more threatening than at
any previous time this winter and he is
| apprehensive lest the ice-boat feet will not
| be sufficient to handle the volume of ice
| and water which may be released suddenly
| when the thaw comes.
