NEW INDUSTRY FOR
FREDERICKSBURG
Larger Water Pipes For Fire Protection Wanted.

A representative of this newspaper in
teryiewed MIR. W. IL. Duval, of New York
City, Tuesday, in regard to matter
which will interest every citizen and tax
payer of Fredericksburg. Mr.. Duval Is a
hall owner in the Melville Wooden Mills,
which during the past five years has been
constantly increased until il Is today one
of the largest manufacturing industries
in the city. and distributes over S2,1OO
per monthin wages to itsemplOyees- Mr.
Duvars visit to fredericksburg ut tins
time is i'm regard to establishing large
Pants Factory here in connection with
the Wooden Mill. He is interested M a
large factory of this kind at Charlotte,
y. C.. and the only question that stands
in the way OF IA factory being Immediate,
ly started in this city, is the question oi
water supply for fire protection IN the
neipbborhood of the Wooden Mill. Mr..
Duyal stated that the Wooden Mill
property, with the stock on hand,
is valued at upward of 100000,
there being over 100000 OF WOOL
in the stock house, and that on ac-
count of the fact that the city water
main. "A distance of n few blocks from
the mill, is not OF sufficient SIZE To
meet the requirements OF theiire under
writers. they are able 10 carry less than
$50 900 of insurance, for which they pay
the excessive rate OF $40 per hundred.
They have tried for two years To get the
city To relay "A short distance OF the
water main with six inch pipe II tins
wasdone they would equip their mills
with automatic sprinklers and could OBJ
tain n rate of insurance OF - cents per
hundred dollars and keep fully insured.
Another city in the State il anxious To
have the new Pants Factory located
there apd has offered every possible IN.
ducement 10 get same.
Mr.. Duval stated that he would pre-
fer TO locate the new industry here, hut
that unless the city officials desire same
and take immediate action on the ques-
ton of relaying a few thousand ieet OF
water main, the pipe Of sufficient size 10
permit them to carry full insurance al
economical rate. they cannot establish
the new Pants Factory or further in
crease the capacity of the Wooden Mill.
We believe that this is a question OF
vital interest To the people OF Frederick
burg and that if steps are taken immedl-
ately to grant the fire protection re-
quested. that the industry which now
distributes over $50 600 a year in wages
would at comparatively early datein-
crease their pay roll very materially

 True, the Venus figure Is shade heavier than the ideal of to-day and 1t is sometimes pretended that we do not like the Greek face altogether. This being true, it Is astonishing that the most beautiful woman in England, Lady Pole-Carew, is called the mod ern Venus De Milo" and at this hour London is stirred up over new beauty who significantly calls herself < La Milo"
 La Milo" is Miss Pansy Montague, an Australian girl. So far as her fea- lures are concerned, Lady Pole -Carew has nothing to fear in the contest for supremacy with Miss Montague. Not only does the lady of title more nearly realize our twentieth century ideal of beauty, but she also comes closer to the likeness of the marble statue. She is more beautiful than the Venus, say her millions of admirers, which Is not so much to the statues discredit when 1t is considered that Lady Pole -Carew has the advantages of life, color and expression over the pale marble divin- tty.
 But in the matter of figure Miss Montague seems to win. Her profes- sion of poser has made it possible for the world at large to perceive how much she is like the statue. Lady Pole Carew is, on the other hand, dis

woman is always she whose sense of humor includes in It's application her own personality.
 It is becoming more and more ap- parent that the ready-trimmed hats are gradually crowding out the idea of the made-toorder hat. for when splendid line of hats is put out for in- spection and the customer is assured that there Is no possibility of them be- ing closely duplicated. the customer chooses the ready-trimmed hat, not only because 1t is cheaper. but because 1t has that touch of style which SO often is impossible to get in the work. room of the store.
 Felt shapes are going to be more popular than ever and there will be a fuller line than ever of pressed shapes from the very small with practically no brim at all to the extreme Gains borough type. They will also be in all shades from white through the line of pale evening colors to all the popu- lar greens. blues and browns and into black.
 Braid is to be extensively used in trimming fall dresses. and latest in- formation from Paris indicate that many of the best makers are using braids for trimming furs as well.
 Most of the taiior-made garments offered for sale are of the one piece princess or empire style. Broaden ing of the shoulders Is produced on many of the new models by trimmings which partake of the form of shoulder capes as well as sleeve caps Tassel and fringe effects are among the nov city trimmings noted on imported modela

 The morning gown shown in our H. lustration is of blue fancy French fan nel. although 1t may be made of print ed flannel. molleton. or fannelette, or for light summer wear 1t may be made in printed sateen or cotton. It Is cut like very full sacque coat drawn in at the waist under ribbon sash which ties in front. The neck and fronts are edged with strap of plain flannel; the circular cuffs to the bish- op sleeves are also of the plain mate rial: they should be made up over muslin or French canvas. Materials required: 8 yards flannel, 1h yard plain and 2h yards ribbon.
 To revert to the elaborate tea gown again, one striking fad this year in connection herewith Is the use of ar- tificial flowers in trimming, and the most elaborate tea gowns show this fashion either in one large flower or little garlands of flowers made of chif- ion or silk or of the cloth of gold or silver. As may easily be imagined. these trimmings of flowers are not in keeping with anything but . very elaborate style of gown, one that Is suitable for dinner at home. but are not for moment to be thought of for general wear or for the plainer style of tea gowns such as are made of valvet. panne velvet. by the way, being a fashionable material this season for this purpose. although 1t Is on sever.

.(TitIed EngIIshwornan Known a the /. "Modern Venus de MIio.")
 tinctly modern woman, with the fashionable waist instead of the ample proportions of the Milesian Venus. : But Miss Montague boasts waist like Venus and other measurements in proportion. This Is due to the fact that she is what has come to be called "a nature girl" living an outdoor life. abjuring corsets or any garments that might retard the simplifying of her waist line. and, generally, going in for athletics, among which she favors trolling hoop.
 1 During the past few weeks London has been worshiping at this young woman's shrine, thus showing that !the beauty of the great statue is still the beauty which we all admire, des. bite the great difference between 1t and our women of today.
 In height Miss Montague, La Milk" !" is feet Sx inches, exactly the sta ture of the marble Venus. according to estimates by experts. Miss Mon. tague weighs 166 pounds. but four pounds less than the authorities be- liieve the Venus would have weighed had she been living woman. La Milo's" neck is 13 inches, half an inch less in circumference than that of the statue had the latter been 6 woman of equal height with her liv. ing prototype. Their bust measure ments are alike and. most remarkable of all, 31 inches is the span of the waists of these two contestants for supremacy in the field of womanly perfection.
 This closeness in measurement is perhaps the most noteworthy compari. son ever made, for 1t proves that the modern woman can be almost identi- cal with the figure of the Milesian Venus and still command admiration. {. Miss Montague is. perhaps. only . fad, but of a certainty Lady Pole-Car. ew Is an established English beauty, and though her charms may for the present be overshadowed by her an tipodean rival, she is sure to rehabil- itate herself.
 There are other claimants of course. to the title for which Lady PoleCarew and "La Milo" are struggling. Amer lea should never be forgotten in any race for supremacy. whether 1t be in wealth. beauty or prowess of whatever sort. It is generally known that the American girl has been developing as a type until to-day she numbers count less fair maids who. if they are not of the same mold as the Venus De Milo. are sufficiently Ike her to var. rant a comparison.
 Among such up-todate divinities is Miss Dorothy Grannon. . New York girl who has sat for paintings and statues by several famous artists. These concur in declaring her to be the most perfect American giri. judged by the standard set by the Venus b Milo, whom they have ever met
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-09-05

The woman of social aspirations Is just beginning to appreciate the vast importance of the negligee. It takes the place of the house dress on many occasions, and absolutely usurps the privileges of the breakfast robe and the lounging gown. If properly made 1t will do for almost every occasion until the dinner hour.
 The tea gown is another garment which must not be forgotten in the list of house dresses. But 1t has rather outgrown its first meaning and has be- come 90 very elaborate that 1t can be worn for late afternoon. A woman can appear in 1t and receive her call CTS in the daytime up to the dinner hour. such Is the elegance of the new tea gown.
 It is no unusual thing to see the lawn and muslin negligees worn over slips of taffeta, of satin and even of chiffon velvet. in which case the lin- ing is really finer than the gown. One of the beautiful tea gowns of the season was made of very fine or gandie in a tone of delicate pink. The organdie was trimmed with lace which was very creamy in tone. This was worn over a princess slip of chiffon velvet, which was in shade of palest lheliotrope. The combination of colors was exceedingly good and. by electric light, 1t takes on a certain shimmer which is most attractive.
 The matinee is more informal garment than the tea gown. and. in fact, Is suitable only for morning. as its name suggests. It Is made of . variety of materials-ngured muslin. embroidered muslin. lace-trimmed muslin-in plain colors or in figured. The smartest are made with a skirt on which are one or two rufiles plaited or gathered, either of the material or em-
