Worthy of Place in Spring Outfit.

In the new things, recently OBJ
served in bridal rousseau. there
were some which will prove OF inter.
est to the woman who is getting up
her spring outfit. One was gown of
grey velvet, made princess. 1t was
cut without a break from neck to
train. and was made up faultless In
Mt and without one speck of trim
ming of any kind-save around the
neck. Here there was set deep
square yoke of Irish point lace with
pair of velvet suspenders going
over the shoulders and fastened with
silver buckles.

The collars are embroidered. and the
ties may be OF silk, or Of velvet rib

embroidered, but only the smallest

beautiful in foliage and flowers.
In potting crinums do not set the
bulbs more than one third in the SOIL,
which should be rich, yet light and

THE INSURANCE. SITUATION.

December IS, 1906, will be the
most important date in the history OF
mutual l~ife-insurance companies in
%corporated under the New York laws,
SAYS Elliott Flower, in an exhaustive
examination of the present status OF
the l~ife-insurance companies under
taken for Success Magazine" On
that day the term of Office of every
director or trustee of these companies
expires, for the new insurance law OF
the,state requires that, upon this one
occasion, the policyholders shall elect
complete boards. At no other time,
unless the law be changed, will this
be possible. Thereafter, beginning in
1908, there will be annual elections,
but only half of the total number OF
directors or trustees will be named at
each, the others holding over. One
half of the members of these new
19O6) boards will hold Office for two
years, and the rest for three years.
Thereafter, beginning in 1908, the
term of office will be only two years
for all. 1t follows, naturally, that
this approaching election is of NOM
| entous importance, and 1T is made the
| more important and erective by the
protection the law gives the policy
| holders against their own impulsive-
! ness. They have been compelled to
| take the time to think. Being scat
tered all over this country and Eur
ope. 1t was impracticable to eliminate
proxy-holding, but such restrictions
have been placed upon 1t that policy
holders must give thought to what
thew are doing. No proxy executed
prior to October IS will be valid at
this election; the thousands of prox-
les previously held by the insurance
administrations, and the other thou
sands collected by the anti-adminls-
tration leaders during the hysteria
following the first s~candalous dis
closures. are all specifically invall
dated by the law. So the policy hoid.
ers have been actually prohibited
from acting impulsively. But each
passing day has seemed to increase
tbe complications, and many of them
feel that they are now between the
odeyil'' of the Untermyer organiza'
ton and the deep sea-" of the presen'
administrations. In the confusion O
allegations and d~enials, charges anc
counter-charges, it is small wonder
if they are tempted to cry: "A plague
O. both you houses" Nevertheless
between now and December Is they
must decide which of these factions
is likely to best safeguard their in
terests.

Steffens, Ray Stannard Baker and
others are the new editors and pub
fishers.
The magazine gives immediate
promise of being remarkable in m
nortance and interest. The very first
number, the October number, is filled
with good reading. There are sever
al articles and stories that rise far
above the ordinary-features that
lift The American Magazine at once
TO a place of distinction. One of these
is William Allen Whites paper on
The Partnership of Society. IL is

Dooley's'' article on The Power OF

ton of the mighty influence OF the
| press in America.
An editorial announcement in tint
October number reveals some sugges

have for their magazine. The las

of a highideal. There is something
fine, something inspiring, in the spec
tacle of any wagon hitched to a star

FOR THE BIG
EXPOSITION

All the state buildings, the shops
of the Arts and Crafts Village, the
great Administration Building, and
its associated structures, and the
beautiful piers extending 2,400 feet
into Hampton Roads, are built to
stand for ages, and the water front
boulevard landscape architecture,
flower gardens, and parked squares,
are all designed with the idea of per-
manency. Some of the greatest ex-
bibit structures will be demolished in
time, but their removal will not mar
the picture; in truth, their absence
may accentuate its beauties.
1t is certain that this Colonial
City will be the show place of Tide
water Virginia for a generation, or
longer. 1t will have all the utilities
and conveniences of a city within
itself, and, in fact, it will be the nue.
leus of a new city to take its place
among the progressive municipali-
ties of the tidewater district.
The State that desires to erect a
building on the exposition ground
has the option of purchasing the plot
selected and building thereon a per-
manent structure, OF 1t may build a
temporary one, providing it be re-
moved within six months after the
exposition closes.
In this latter case no rental is
charged for the ground occupied, and,
in the former case, a very reasonable
price is fixed. In every case, almost,
the States will erect permanent build
ings.
After the Exposition the States
sell their buildings and grounds to
the jamestown Exposition Company,
who will undoubtedly get first call
on the property, or to private individ-
uals, or companies, who may want
the property for residences, hotels
resorts or other purposes, as all these
| state buildings will be perfectly built
and finished, and provided with every
convenience so that they will be
ready-made residences, hotels, and
club houses, and, in many cases
ready furnished, too.
The club house idea is a popular
one, as almost any one of the state
and the smaller exhibit buildings
like those of the Arts and Crafts
Village, would make ideal quarters
for boating, yachting, automobile
outing and social clubs, and pur'
chasers could be found to-day to take
them at twice their cost to builds
The great boulevard, which the
municipality of Norfolk and Princess
Anne county is building at a cost Noi
100000, to connect the city will
the exposition grounds, will be an
important adjunct. 1t will be seven
ty to one hundred feet wide, ant
seven miles long, embellished will
flowers, shade trees, and lights, ant
arranged to provide accommodation:
for speeding horses, for automobiles
and for pedestrians. This boulevard
will be a great factor in ~popularizins
the grounds as a resort. Let us re
ioice that one dream city is to endure
and be made a fixture in the world o
reality.
