It is said that the District system when it
is finished will be one of the most complete
and up-to-date sewer systems in the world,
and 1t win be capable of indefinite expansion
and of being adapted to the needs of many
thousands more of people than are here now.
When 1t is considered what has been Sc
cured it seems that ten millions of dollars Is
not too great a sum to expend for such an
important public necessity. What is more,
the cost of the work is all to be paid for
out of the current revenues of the city.
Another great health preserver is the fill
tration plant which went into operation
only a few weeks ago. This plant takes the
entire water supply of the city, cleanses 1t
from the impurities which are naturally
found even in such large body of running
water as the Potomac river. and then it is
AS contrasted with the muddy dirty-lobking
liquid that formerly came into the houses
and was provided for people to drink, the
present supply is like crystal spring water.

To secure such public benefit as good
pure water which, it is claimed by medical
authorities has already resulted in improv-
ing vital statistics, about 100000 has
been spent. OF course. that is a large sum
of money; still, it is considered by practical
men as sound investment for any mu-
nidpality to make
With good and sufficient sewers and a
supply of pure water Washington as place
of residence can boast a superiority over a
| location of which it would not be courteous
to mention. AT the same time, 1t has been
noticed by some shrewd observers that since
these Improvements have i,een III progress

because to be beautiful is no part Of their
scheme. So a husband jeers IL he finds his
wife squirming on the boudoir rug in ap-
parent commissions, which she calls deep
breathing exercises, and he will make sar-

should clasp the bedpost and swing each

He may be coarsely humorous about the
small box of sand In which the beauty

turned into the Atlantic ocean.
He jests about the means but never In
regard to the result There never was q
man who was able to take a really beau-
tiful woman as joke. In fact, she is the
only woman he takes seriously.

have nothing to howl about. They can

ride her and then go home and deride their
wives for the other thing. The dress re-

The old masters arrayed their women
saints and angels in cloth of gold and sky
blue robes scattered with silver stars. They
trimmed them up beautifully, and 1t took
latter day analysts to discover that the
gorgeous tints and glints meant mystical
things
The truth is that the old artists were
many OF them Italians and their conception
of a woman angel required neat dressing.
The women of their time were fond of
color and glitter and shine. And for true
artist a woman must be first a woman.
Meissonier paints first a skeleton under his
soldiers. The logic was profound In both

be deemed insipid in appearance. A glance
through any of the famous collections of
old miniatures or portraits reveals the fact
that the faces, although fine in line and
regular in feature. were distinctly vapid in
expression,
The doll face has no charm ia these hi
fureated days. The ingenue is out of fash
ion-she is not even in the nursery. Our
modern miniatures show individuality as
the desideratum aimed at rather than the
oval face, the long neck and slanting
shoulders that, taken with the gowns they
wore made our grandmothers look alike as
peas
Now we have so many different kinds of
girl-all but the angel face. The outdoor
young woman. with her stock tie and shirt
waist, is our most popular type perhaps,
but there are Christy girls and Underwood
maidens and heaps Of others who are as
fluffy and frilly as the outdoor girl is
gentlenanly in attire and face.
1t was Dio Lewis who first gave heart Of
grace to the Ugly Girls, whom he adj
dressed half century ago In a series of

for women. He advocated the making of
beauty through exercise and the right kind
of living and IL sounded as Impossible as

on. 1t would be pretty safe to say that If a
selected class of well-infermed and eminent
citizens were brought together and ques-
toned in regard to the extent and the cost
of the sewer system of this city on any
close method of marking they would not
pass.
Very few of the people who are supposed
to be somewhat familiar with what is going
on In the District in the way OF improve
ments, both public and private, are aware
that during the past decade the sewer sys-
tenn of this city has cost over ten millions
Of dollars. and that this sum represents the
expenditures that are deemed necessary to
fit on the old system with the new. So that
this large sum of money, which in other
places would be represented by bonded
debt has simply been provided out of cur
rent revenues for supplements TO existing
lines.
In itself, however it is a noble plan that
comprises long lines of trunk sewers that
swing for miles through the District, re-
ceiving into their capacious depths the con-
tents OF numerous lateral lines. finally con-
verging at the end of New Jersey avenue

shown to be is not left without another
important phase of city life, and that Is
the means of going about from one point

leaving the city. The improvements that
are in progress which can be summed up
under the general head of steam railway
terminals are being made on such a scale
as will place the city in the front rank
with respect to conveniences of this char
acter. This is saying a great deal in TINS

But time has brought changes, and fashion,
able gown builders seek their inspiration In
the society comedies while our women stars
set the pace to the particular vogue IN

No one could call them beautiful accord

days; the two hundred pound Fedoras,

The modern stars beauty consists In her
strongly marked personality and intellect

of them this with some ability, Is the whole
stock In trade and seems quite enough TO
carry without either beauty or talent.

there has been a great addition to the pop
ulation of the city. and while it cannot be
shown positively that there is any connec-
ton between the improvements and IN
cres sed population, yet some people are
inclined TO think that such a connection
exists.
To look after the well-being of the public
there is, of course, a health department OF
the city government, with its doctors and
it's corps of inspectors to see that people
keep their back yards clean and observe
the regulations which are designed to con-
tribute to the general cleanliness Of the
city 1t is possible also to go about the
city without being endangered by reckless

city are so well looked after that they are

this is a feature of city life which is prob
