tell you of some startling changes to

windows tea gowns, ball dresses, cos
tunes of all sorts, marked down less
than half their original price, for they
will be quite out of date very soon.
Among other revivals of materials
for summer wear, is the old fashioned
barege. Another popular material is
one that is half silk poplin and half
rep. Made of silk and wool it is a de-
lightful thing for evening wear, as 1t
never crumples or muses. and drapes
beautifully. Cunning little undersleeves
are seen on many of the summer gowns.
They follow the lines of the long, close
| sleeve, but are of course used with
short over sleeves. Most of the foulard,
batiste and linen dresses for dressy
wear follow the empire and princess
styles, with high waists, transparent
guimpes and sleeves that descend over
the wrist. In order that these summer
dresses shall not appear skinny they
| are cut very full below the knee and
are heavily embroidered and trimmed
with lace and insertion.

QUEENsBoRo BRIDGE LESSON.
Pointed Out in Argument Against Faulty
Plans for Municipal Building Foundation.
The TrihIlr1p

To the Editor or The Tribune
Sir: What the Bridge Department be think
ing Of in ting the construction OF the new
municipal building foundations placed sand
and carrying a load of eight tons to the square
foot? Can they point to any tall building in lower
New York built on sand loaded one-half this
amount?
Take the skyscrapers of twenty stories and
on Broadway. Not single of the foundations
of these buildings rests any other foundation
than hardpan rock while for structures of less
height built sand in no case are the founda-
tions loaded over four tons 20 the square foot.
Here. then. have this great municipal build
ing. twenty-six stories high, 10 cost between
IS 100000 and 100000, placed a sand founda-
ton with estimated loading according to the
engineers of the Bridge Department, of eight tons
per square foot Is it any wonder that the Build
ing Department has refused to approve of these
plans?
What makes the attitude OF the Bridge Depart
ment engineers more inexplicable is the fact that
solid rock underes the site of the municipal
building, within easy reach.
Engineers have estimated that It will cost about
100000 additional to put these foundations on rock
thereby making building safe. not only against
settlement from overlooking OF the soil. but from
the danger of future subway excavations.
What kind Of judgment is il that places the foun-
dations of sS.OO0.0o0 building on sand when the
expenditure of OCOO0 more will give It founda-
tion rock?
Does the lesson of the greensboro Bridge count
for nothing with the Bridge Department that they
put forward a new set Of plans apparently equally
as deficient engineering Judgment and adhere to
them, in spite OF the dsappTOvai ana rejection OF
the plans by the engineers of the Building Depart
ment-a department organized and maintained by
the city OF New York TO pass specifically on engt-
neering questions of this sort. and necessarily eX-
nerienced In building foundation construction?
Why does not the City Club take hand in this
investigation? Surely no greater disgrace can
come 10 the city of New York in future years than
the sight OF a great municipal building gradually
disintegrating with great cracks in the floors with
settlement Of walls and columns and the occasional
dropping of heavy cornice stones, etc. such
stituted an eyesore and disgrace 10 the citizens
Chicago in their City Hall building. which has late
" been torn down
Why does not the Mayor do something before it
is too late? Let him call in disinterested en-
gineers and find out if the Building Department is
not right in the stand which II has taken and stop
the scandal of spending the city's money for the
foundations of structure which not only un-
safe out do not afford proper protection against
injury due to future building of adjoining struct-
