CONTRACT HAS BEEN LET
Atlanta Firm Will Build AmeriCuS Y. M. G, A.
Building.
UlLDVG AND FURNISHINGS WILL COST S35OOOI
Several OuOfTONn Firms Bid for the COnaSeC Lem Work Col
eCing in the Subscriptions to the Building tnnd

with the Aetna Security Co. This will
be done.
The president of the successful con-
Germ is the we'll known lumber man,
Mr.. D. J. Ray, of Atlanta, whose
financial standing is ample guarantee
of the reliability of the contractors.
The contract for the steam heating
will be separate and the Board esti-
mates that he buildings and furnish
ings complete VIII represent an in
vestment of about $4,000. Architect
Lockwood will give the building his
personal supervision.
The great work now before those
actively engaged in the Y. M. G. A.
work is the collection of the sub
scriptions that have been made to this
grand cause.
1t has been repeatedly stated to the
public that $34, 500 has been pledged to
the building fund, but as a large pro-
portion of these contributions is pay
able in three, four and five years, it is
of great importance that the Ipeople of
Americus make strenuous effort to
pay a large portion of their SUBJ
scriptions at once, so that the Associ-
alton will be able to meet the pay
ments of the building as the work of
construction progresses.
Sect. Lemly has gone actively to
work as collector for the building
fund. It is certainly to be hoped that
there will be no great difficulty
experienced in financing the building,
now that the contract has been let.
The Association will do magnificent
work in Americus and the building
will be one of the great forward steps
4 the new and greater Americus that
is being built up.

HAIR PUFFS AND cURLS.
To Be Effective, They Must Be Care
fully Looked After.

Those little puffs and curls that
fashionable women are urged to wear
this season are charming, but why are
they not more careful about having
them an exact match? They are often
seen totally unlike the natural hair OF
the wearer, and lose all their charm
by this horrid mistake, which is par
ticularly in evidence out of doors.
They never can be worn many weeks
without having them rearranged and
touched up at the hair dresser's, for as
they are not growing hair, no matter,
how exquisite they may be they can
not hold a live color long.
After some women have once had
them charmingly arranged on the hair
with graceful reference to both hair
and hat, they do not know how to do
it for themselves, and wear them at
all sorts of wrong angles. They ought
always to lie close, clingingly, against
the head, and not bob off at odd places
haphazard. They must never be worn
with uncurled locks, for the inference
is too marked. Placed just right they
may be distractingly alluring-but,
placed all wrong, they are horrors.

WISDOM or POLICE JUDGE.
Punishment for UnruIy Youngsters
Better Than a Fine.

Judge Crutahfield, for so years or
thereabouts, police judge in Rich
mond. Va, Il famed for his unique
conclusions aud singular dispositions
of the cases which cDme before him.
He is always wise, and always just;
but he is quaint and sui generis.
Two colored women were before
him recently, begging that their boys,
aged nine and ten years. be released
without fine. It was shown that they
were bad boys, and were under arrest
this second time for petty thievery.
This Daniel come to Judgment, after
hearing all tae testimony, said:
The boys are guilty. They must
be punished. The mothers are not
guilty. They must not be punished.
The mothers cannot afford to pay
fines. Imprisonment would not be
punishment for these little rascais.
They are fined So each; and their
mothers will take them into the court
house cellar. and take SIS worth out
of their hides"

Some Good Things.

For marshmallow trife, cut half a
pound of marshmallows into small
pieces and mix them with half pint
of stiffiy beaten cream which has been
favored with sherry. Serve in frappe
glasses with two or three strawberries
on each. For a savory toast to serve
at luncheon or supper, spread hot
buttered toast with anchovy paste, ar
range the slices on a hot platter and
turn scrambled eggs over them. A
slightly and delicious salad served at a
pretty luncheon was made of hard
boiled eggs, celery and mayonnaise. In
the center of the shallow salad dish
were heaped cream cheese balls and
around them nests made of curly
white lettuce leaves lined with shred
ded celery, which preserved the shape,
and inside them the eggs cut into
pieces and topped with mayonnaise.
The mayonnaise was sprinkled with
minced olives and red pepper.

Alaska Needs Railroads.

The thing that is holding back
Alaskan mining and trade is the in
adequate railroad facilities of the
country-an insuperable obstacle to
trade beyond the merest necessities
of existence, says a writer in Sys.
tenn.
At the present time there is only
one railroad that penetrates to the
interior of Alaska, and of that only
80 miles are on American soil. This
road runs from Skagway, at the head
OF Lynn canal, and connects the, tide
water with the Yukon river. Except
during the four months that naviga.
ton is open-from June to October
this railroad controls the trade of the
Yukon valley. 1t is as if the only
railroad between the Atlantic and the
Mississippi were from Albany to
Troy

Popular Combination.

A pretty gown seen recently was in
pale gray and white with lavender
dots. This combination is, by the
way, popular one with the designers,
black and white fine striped grounds
or checked grounds with a floral or
dot design in lavender having been
turned out in almost all the cottons.
Going back to the swisses, one finds
the finest of white swiss with an en-
broidered rose design, in the tiniest of
pink roses, scattered over it, and espe-
cially attractive are white swisses
thickly sprinkled with small dots in
two harmonizing colors, such as pale
pink and pale green, pale blue and
delicate lavender, etc.

IN coLoRs THAT CONTRAST.
Unusual Combinations That Produce
Charming Effects.

Frequently in lingerie frocks one
sees many unusual combination of col
or, favorite way of carrying out these
being in the bordered effects. A brick
dust chiffon cloth made over rose pink
is remarkable for it's originality. The
skirt has a deep border of very dull
green, and this in turn is patterned
with a Persian design in blue and
coral pink, with particles of white
smuggled in wherever possible. The
corsage is draped very full into the
girdle, and as the skirt hangs in
gagged effect from under the girdle,
all have the appearance of being cut
and made into one piece. The yoke
is round and cut in one piece, with
the collar of Irish crochet, bOrdered
with the faintest line of pink.
Sometimes panels of contrasting col
or are set into lingerie skirts of white
or cream-colored batiste, and this
leads to the closer observation that
panel effects are steadily growing in
favor probably as a sequel to the re-
turn of the tablier skirt. In most in
stances the panels are SO narrowed
that by the time they reach the waist
line they merge into the close high
girdle

Linoerie Gowns,

The majority of the handsomest lin
gerie gowns are of princess style.
Eyelet work is much liked this spring
as it has been among the previous
seasons of its vogue. Among the most
popular laces Irish crochet and cluny
are decidedly first, with valenciennes
lace as an accessory, if not the prin-
cipal in nearly every garment. Most
really smart lingerie gowns combine
embroidery with two or even three
kinds of lace and valenciennes is sure
to be one of them. The coarse Irish
crochet motives continue to be popular
enough to keep all of crocheting Ire
land with its fingers flying to supply
the demand.

ParasoIs to Match Costume.

This year one of the unwritten laws
of fashion is that special parasol in
colors to match the dress land hat
must be designed for each toilette,
and that the old idea Of becoming
possessed of a white or red sunshade
which is destined to do duty on every
occasion is no longer permissible
where the well-dressed woman is con-
cerned A compromise has, however,
been made to economy in the case OF
the cretonne parasol, which accords
admirably with any of the new gowns
Of Powered muslin or chiffon, and
which is lightly yelled with drawn
white or ivory net to give softness
and illusion to the scheme. In some
instances the cretonne parasol can
hardly be distinguished from brocade,
especially when it is worked over in
thick floss silk and finished all around
with a frill of lace.

Galleries Under the Sea.

At Cape Breton there are immense
colleries being worked under the
ocean. These submarine mines cover
a thousand acres, and are being in
creased steadily. The mines are en-
tered at the shore, and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than a mile. 1t might be ex-
pected that the weight of the water
would force its way into the mine.
The bed of the ocean is as tight as
a cement cistern. A sort of fireclay
lines the submarine roof of the mine,
and the sediment above is held in
place and packed down by the water
pressure until there is not crevice
nor a drop of water from overhead.

"soap Bubble Hanging from = Reed.

"Scap Bubble Hanging from 4 Reed"
Our life is but a soap bubble hang
ing from reed; it is formed, expands
to its Pull size, clothes itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
escapes at moments from the law of
gravitation; but soon the black speck
appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind it nothing but a simple drop
of turbid water. All the poets have
made this comparison, it is so strik-
ing and so true. To appear, to shine,
to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
to die; is it not the whole sum of
