Let it be said that both these stvles

too. these fashions are most charm

unique.

DEFINING the New Eic''re.

There is quite change in the fash
ionable Silhouette when he newer
nodes are employed. The round
waist OF the 1890 period and of the
later Directoire styles give a very diff
ferent outline to the figure. This is
charmingly shown in the gown illus
trated. The fashionable bolero is ar
ranged over fitted waistcoat of ori-
entail emhroideries in soft. faded col
orings, which tone in well with the
delicate almond green tint of the
cloth. A broad tressed novelty braid

THIS CITY'S INCREASE
IN NEW BUILDINGS

Construction News of Chicago in the is
sue of May IA gives the building operations
in twenty-three large cities as follows:
Building for the month of April in
twenty-three of the principal cities of the
country shows a gratifying increase. Per-
mits were issued, according to official re-
ports to Construction News. for the con-
struction of 1O,O46 buildings at an estimated
cost of $3s. 239,2 94 during the month just
closed, as against 7,S49 buildings at an ag-
gregate cost of s31, 1896 for the corre-
spending period a year ago, being an in
crease of 2197 buildings and S6,7S5,S1S in
cost, or an increase of q per cent. This
showing is satisfactory from every stand
point from which it may be viewed. The
eImbined influences OF the late season, the
slight financial disturbances of the latter
part of last year apd the vast amount of
building which has been under way for the
past few years were not sufficient to ma
terially reduce the volume in any section
of the country The figures in detail are
as follows

Thirteen of the twenty-three cities show
gains varying from u to 1876 per cent. Re-
markable increases are TO be found in the
large cities, and in this respect Chicago
is not the exception, standing but third
from the highest percentage of any of the
cities enumerated. Brooklyn shows the
greatest prosperity, permits having been
taken out for the construction of 963 build
ings involving Sc 26O, 965, against COS build
ings costing S2.645,S70 for the same month
year ago, an increase of 136 per cent. In
the boroughs of New York, Manhattan and
the Bronx, a remarkable gain over the
corresponding month a year ago is to be
found. Permits were taken out for SS1
structures, involving total cost or SlU,-
ga, 495, against 1iy buildings at an estimated
cost of SS.417.05O an increase of 149 buildings
and of S2,35I 40, or practically q per cent.
Cincinnati also makes exceptionally
good showing. Permits were taken out for
354 buildings, aggregating $6S931O in cost,
against 2S7 buildings and $323,O00, gain OF
lis per cent. as against the same month
a year ago. Other cities in which remark
able increases are shown include Omaha,
50 per cent; Seattle, 49, San Francisco. 81;
Indianapolis. 5l; Memphis, 80; Detroit, 81;
Los Angeles. Is, and Milwaukee, Is. As
might be expected, st. Louis shows the
most remarkable decrease. Permits have
been issued during the month for SIS build

THE virility which the situation shows
since the season has started is remark
able in its significance. Operations have
gone on in most cities at a pace far in
excess of the expectations of the most
hopeful. In the leading cities this is no
more remarkable than in the small cities.
