DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS.


 In selecting furs. the business woman. If she Is cleter dresser. buys something that is not alone practical for every day business wear. but Is also dressy enough to be worn with evening costumes. Dark furs are always most scrviceable. and this year they are extremely fashionable for both day and evening wear. set of brown fox illustrated here Is a splendid example of what the business woman's furs should he.

 The serviceabIe Black Marchion-
 ess Coat.
 No garment In the feminine wardrobe Is more serviceable than the long black cloth coat built on the lines Of the fashionable marchioness. It may be worn during day light hours as an outer garment with simple frocks of serge or cashmere. or as an evening garment with much more portentious costumes Usually 1t Is lined with dark colored silk or satin. but where It serves as an evening wrap, a separate

 The Tailored Suit.
 Nothing. for instance, could be more in keeping with the simplicity of business attire than the natty tailored street suits which everybody Is wearing this fall young girls yet in the school room. ma irons every age. society belles and busi- ness women.
 There are. as srl who read this page every week know. several types of tall ored sui in the new models, each good style and becoming Tn Its way. but none more suited to the requirements or every day wear than the semi-ftting coat suit of a practical. serviceable material ca pabIe of withstanding hard wear. Broad cloth in the new stripe patterns Is very attractive, but a novel worsted or skiDo serge it must be remembered VIII give twice the wear, and is moreover exceed ingIy high style. A suit of such material can be worn in all weathers without scruples as to shrinking or spotting-
 How to Care ior the su.t.

The secret of a mans well groomed appearance Is his tailor's care of his clothes, and the same rule should apply to feminine dress also.
 Accessories.
 With her tailored suit the business woman who is correct in every detail or dress, wears a simple tailored shirtwaist- This may be of linen or madras or warmer material such as inc French flannel There are some new corded striped and checked hannels in white being put out In high class shops al fancy prices. These of course are shown in ready made waists, but the same ma terial may be bought by the yard and the waist made by competent dress maker at a moderate cost. he shirt with two broad pleats set in the shoul- ders back and front is a splendid model for any figure, large or small.

semi-Drcssy Dresses.

Every business woman has doubtless many times found herself fin a position where 1t Is absolutely necessary to wear a dressy frock during business hours in order 10 accept a dinner invitation or something similar. So that every ward robe should number at least two semi lressy frocks suitable for such use. In these the value should b, represented in the material rather than the making, for their designs should be very simple The one piece model is n general favorite. with It's simple bodice and walking length skirt cut to just clear the ground Various effects may be gained with such a dress by a change of accessories. such as fancy neckwear.
 A dress of this description necessarily demands a separate wrap. The light col ored evening cape or coat is entirely too elaborate, but the fashionable black marchloness shows Its sterling qualities to advantage on such an occasion. It makes an admirable substitute for

Fashionable Neckvvcar.

The neckwear for such a blouse may be one of the various effects which dis tlnguish thls seasons modes. but the best choice Is the high, stiffiy starched embroidered collar and a dainty front finish of lingerie or silk of a matching shade with the suit.
 Other ccessories-footwear. millinery and gloves-are all of the most practical character. but not lacking in the least the requisite element of style.
 The selection of furs should De made only after the most careful forethought. These are articles of apparel which. with the business woman at least. will find their greatest use In the daylight hours. Therefore. they must be practical in both color and mode. yet sufficiently dressy for evening wear. For this reason. and likewise because they are most fashion able, dark furs are the better choice. Those trimmed with the heads. tails and paws of the skins are a happy medium: they are not too dressy for business nor yet too plain foT evening or the after poon toile-e which the business woman makes now and then in response to some social Invitation.

BIDS WERE TOO HIGH.
Crematorium Delayed Until Specifica-
lions Can Be Scaled.


Three bids were received by the Commits
sioners yesterday from local contractors
for the construction and equipment Of the
municipal crematorium, which Is to be To-
Gated on the grounds of the Washington
Asylum Hospital, but when Building In
spector Ashford opened the bids the prices
quoted were in excess of $4,000, the
amount appropriated by Congress. 1t will
be necessary for the specifications to be
scaled with view of getting lower price
quoted by the contractors. However, these
changes, whatever they may be, will not
affect the size of the crematorium, but
will simply mean the SUBSTITUTION of cheap
er material to be used in the construction
and the elimination of any unnecessary
ornaments.
The bidders submitting propositions, are
Pavarini & Wyne, Inc, $4,000; without
one retort and Columbrium inches, $4,000;
Joseph H. Gibbons, 1914 North Carolina
avenue northeast, $19,773 and $1S,O2S; w.
E. Mooney 1425 New York avenue north
west, $50, 789 and $19,997.
No award Of contract for the work will
be made for several weeks, as it will re-
to the appropriation. 1t Is the opinion OF
Inspector Ashford that the cost Of Con-
struction can be easily reduced by chang
ing the style of furnace to be installed.
Some of these furnaces are patented
and, being controlled by their manu-
faeturers, cost more than other furnaces
the patents for which have expired and
which have been in successful operation in
different cities for a number of years.
Mr. Ashford explained that one style OF
furnace specified in the bids costs $4,000,
while another costs but $1,000.

to TIE fleet of tow boats owned by A. j
Taylor & Bro of this city, will be hauled
out on the marine railway at Bennett

work done to her hull and to be fitted with
a new propeller. The wheel the tug has in
use was broken by striking log in shoal

SITE UNDER CONSIDERATION.
George Washington University Com
mittee Soon to Report.

A statement Is made that the committee
on the building site for the George Wash
ington University may decide to make
report on it's choice Of a location at q
meeting to be held Monday. Another and
previous statement was that the report
would not be made until June 3, when
the commencement exercises will be held.
1t is understood the committee has under
consideration a site for the proposed build
ings near Woodley Park, north of the new
Connecticut avenue bridge.
1t was said further that a large per-
centage of the committee which had in
charge the selection Of new home for
the university is in favor of going beyond
the city limits, with the idea of purchas-
ing more ground than can be had In the
city and for less price than the smaller
tracts now under consideration.
The Waggaman estate owns a large
tract of land on Connecticut avenue north
of the bridge, about 3,OOoOOO square ieeI'
all told, nearly half of which has been
subdivided. In this tract there are about
seventy acres, and 1t was pointed out that
should the university decide to buy site
in this neighborhood it would be possible.
therefore, to obtain as much ground as it
needs for the present and enough to per
NIT large growth of the university in the
future.
dent Needham returns from New York, 1t
is stated. The Dean tract and that known
as the Sherman-Barber tract have been
much discussed by the committee.
It is STATED that DIR. Richard d. Harlan
of the George Washington University is
greatly encouraged by the attitude of rep
resentative men of other cities toward the
establishment here of a national unlver-
sity Recently he visited New York and
Philadelphia, and in each of these cities
was favorably impressed with the senti-
ment of those with whom he talked rela-
tive to the project.
Referring to the possibility of national
university here, Mr.. James Bryce, the Brit
ish ambassador, is reported to have said:
washington seems to possess several
quite special advantages fitting it to be
the seat of great university.
unlike your other great cities, it does
not feel the strain and pressure of COM
merce and manufacturing industries. 1t
contains an unusually large number of
residents-temporary during the sittings of
Congress, or permanent--who are qualified
to act as advisers in university matters,
men with a diversified experience of public
affairs and wide knowledge of the whole
country AS the seat of government 1t
drawns to itself, more perhaps than any
other city, persons of all types, of all
stocks, of all interests.
There is something truly metropolitan
about Washington, and a great metropolis
ought to find one of it's chief ornaments
and glories in an institution dedicated to
the highest forms of education and re-
search
