Good Roads Men Report.

The first comprehensive report of
the Good Roads Commission showing
exactly what progress has been made
I'D to date has been submitted by Chair
man John M. Tucker to Governor Croth-
ers, and was on Wednesday made public
by the Governor.
When the engineering department is
ready with plans and specifications con-
tracts will be given out in st. Mary's
and Calvert counties, as well as the 9TH
er counties of the State, and the labor
employed by this construction OF these
roads shall be obt aimed from among the
register ed voters of the State of Mary
land.
The commission fully realizes that it
would be neither practicable nor wise
to begin the work of road construction
to any very great extent this fall, owing
TO the uncertainty of weather conditions.
and if the roads were torn up in the fall
and not fully built before the winter set
in travel over them during the winter
would be difficult and unsatisfactory.
The commission also feels that no very
great advantage W. lid be gained in SO
doing, because. it is the idea of the
commission to make these contracts suf-
feiently large to attract the attention OF
the best and most satisfactory class OF
contractors, who, with large contract,
could make preparations to carry the
work on cheaper and more expeditions.
"In addition to this the commission
is now turning its attention to the ques-
ton of material for road construction
and its transportation, believing that
If some method can be adopted whereby
large quantities of IN aterial can be
secured as needed: either to the COM
mission or the contractor, it could be Sc
cured more cheaply in large quantities
than if supplied for each piece of road
by different parties. The commission
also believes that barges or other means
of transporting the material by water,
wherever that is PRACTICABLE, ought to
be worked out so as to reduce the cost
of transportation to the lowest possible
limit.

NOW THE pRAPEp WAIsTcoAT.
II Is Worn with Fancy Jackets and Be-
comes Woman Of Slim Figure.

The draped waistcoat has come in
again. 1t is to be worn with fancy
Jackets, ard will prove especially be-
coming to thin figures. Being made to
wear with a princess skirt, or a skirt
having a princess belt, It is very short,
coming just TO the top of the prin-
cess belt. II is much shorter at the
sides than the front and very much
shorter in the back than anywhere
else. The back Is absolutely plain
and tight-ftting, and It is most i'm
portant that it should fit well, other.
wise the effect of the outer jacket
cannot be successful. The drapery
begins at the shoulder seams, where
the material is laid in folds. There
are more folds which come from the
under arm seam, so that the front of
the waistcoat is entirely draped, the
folds being arranged to give an equal
fulness across the bust. The waist
coat is double breasted and has four
buttons, covered with the material.
Such a waistcoat is usually worn
over a thin shirtwaist that is not par
ticularly elaborate because 1t will
hardly be seen, although 1t should be
very well fitting and of sheer material.
otherwise the costume will be too
warm and one may not remove a coat
worn over a waistcoat. There is al
most always high collar and fancy
jabot worn vith such waistcoats, and
either a jabot or a lace bow of some
dimensions is necessary to make the
proper effect. A waistcoat seems
never to look so well with a shirt
waist which has not a jabot as with
one which has.

SIipper Bows.

One of the most attractive OF the
slipper bows now in fashion is made
of very soft, thin silk with three loops
on each side. The silk or satin is of
such a soft quality that it does not,
when looped, stand out at all, but is
arranged to lie quite fiat and so manip.
ulated as to look like the petals of a
flower. The lops are graduated in size
so that the lowest ones come out the
farthest. Tiny gold beads are sowed
on the ends of each loop, and there are
three or four strands of these beads
across the center of the bow.
Red slippers will be Worn n good
deal during the summer, and for some
of these there are bows of velvet rib.

This IS a two-Gat building of six

that IS popular at the present time In
some OF the larger cities.
Such buildings are generally built
and owned by men who live in the

the building is fitted with n steam
heating plant the owner manages the
boiler and the hot water heater, thus
supplying steam and hot water for
he whole building.
Il costs very little more to heat two
flats than one when steam is EN-.
ployod; so it Is n matter of economy
to have ono heating apparatus, and as
FOR hot water the same rule applies.

are little round stoves, either with

If man owns a building like this on
a corner lot he may consider himself
in luck.
The lower fiat is always smaller
than the upper one. because the front
stairway generally spolls one room,
but in this plan n reception hall is Sc
cured which may be used as an ad-
iunct to the parlor on the first floor.
1t is always important to have one
bathroom over the other, so the
plumbing pipes may be as short as
possible and grouped so as to include
both bathrooms and both kitchens.
Flat buildings have undergone con.
siderable evolution during late years.
The new ones are u noticeable i'm

the fact that most of the more preten.

porches both in front and at the back,
they have large windows, ventilating

The porches are heavy, with cement

that more attention is being paid to
back porches every year. Families

satin of soft pliable quality, and will
swathe the waist in soft folds, the
ends falling gracefully down the side
or front of the costume. Already this
fashion is beginning to show in the
latest summer styles, as many of the
lingerie princess frocks are now com.
pleted with ribbon sash fastened to
the back only. In some fall gowns the
sash is on the Turkish idea, being
wound tightly around the waist and
hips, and then falling in soft folds al
most to the bottom of the sos.Gme.
The up-to-date sash must be of shade

than TO contrast.

The recent curious boycott of the
press in the Berlin parliament has 4
precedent in the mother Of parlia-
ments. the British house Of commons.
A writer in Harpers Weekly recalls
that the person involved was no less 8
celebrity than the late Daniel O'Con-
nell. He condemned the inaccuracy Of
the parliamentary reports but he for
got TO make allowance for acoustic diff.
ficulties and the buzz of intervening
conversation. He charged the reporters
with the malicious suppression of his
speeches. and the gallery then refused
to report them at all. Dan" stormed
and thundered in vain, even moving
that the ringleaders be brought TO the
bar OF the house. Finally he apollo
gized, and all was well. Lord Lyttle-
ton in 1871 fell foul of the press in the
same way, and the late Lord Mont.
eagle had his name omitted from Lon.
don newspaper reports for two years
because he said something the report
ers did not like.
