ENGAGEMENT OF
ETHEL ROOSEVELT

Boston, February 27.-(Special)- Formal
announcement of the engag cement of Miss
Ethel Roosevelt to William Phillips, of
Boston, third assistant Secretary of State,
is expected by friends of both families
here right after Easter. News that such
an engagement already existed reached
Boston today and while no denial was
made of it, no one would go far as
to admit the facts. Nevertheless, no
secret was made of the truth that the
White House debutante is ensnared in
Cupids net.
The pronounced attentions of Mr.. Phil
lips to Miss Roosevelt have been for
months the topic of society small talk in
the capital. Mr.. Phillips is a Harvard
1900 man and a son of Mrs. John C.
Phillips, one of the wealthiest Boston So
ciety leaders.
Miss Roosevelt was 90 last July. This
is her last social season at the White
House, and has been one continued social
triumph for she is fully as popular as
was her elder sister, Miss Alice, now
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
Mr.. Phillips entered the state depart
ment from the third year law class in
Harvard He was once second assistant
secretary of the United States legation at
PelSin, China. Later he was assistant
secretary to Ambassador Joseph Choate
in London.

BESSEMER COUNCIL
HAS MUCH BUSINESS
Important Subjects Come Up
Tuesday Night

TRADE OUTLOOK BETTER

Bessemer. February -(special) THE
city council meeting on Tuesday evening
will have a number of important mat
ters to consider, and the meeting prom
ises to be a most interesting one Among
the matters to come up is the report
of the finance committee on the question
of the purchase of Cedar Hill cemetery,
and it is believed that the committee will
recommend the purchase, If a suitable
price can be agreed upon. Another mat
ter of more than usual interest is the
long watched for report of the special
committee on the purchase of the water
works by the city. Ten days ago it was
thought that there would be no agree
ment, but within the past week it has
been quietly rumored that there was a
plan that would be agreed upon by the
committee and the owner of the water
works. Morris Adler.
The water question has been a live one
in Bessemer for years, and there has
been a growing sentiment in favor of
the municipal ownership of the plant. 1t
has been contended that the increase in
number of stops, the extension of the sys-
tenn and the natural growth of the city
would be to the advantage of municipal
ownership, and that within two or three
years at the fartherest, the city could
decrease the water rate.
Another matter will be the selection of
the kind of paving to be done under the
ordinances passed at the last meeting
of council. Just whether there will be
selected brick. concrete or bitulithic is
mooted as all three kinds of material
have friends in the city. Taken all in
all. the session on the second of March
will be one of the most important held
in many months, and it is expected there
will be a number of visitors from the
city and elsewhere to watch the pro-
ceedngs of the body.

WEAR ONLY THE LATEST STYLES
1t Is Economical for Women to Adopt
the Most Advanced Modes.

From purely business point of view it
is poor policy to put money into any
thing but new styles, says Mrs. Simcox
In the March Delneator. Most women
women Of average means-have to wear
their gowns several seasons. Naturally
they ought to take the styles that will
last the longest. If they adopt a fash
ion in its third or fourth season it stands
to reason that 1t will have a shorter lease
of life than If they had taken 1t when
it first appeared.
A good style generally lives, with mod
ifications, at least two years-sometime
longer. The time for women to start to
wear it is at the beginning of its first
year. not at the end of its second. But
they don't. They condemn themselves
voluntarily to the position of the trailer
after the smartly dressed woman. They
take up a style when she is through with
it, and their clothes naturally lack dis
tinction.
Take, for example, the high waistline,
which is only just now becoming general.
1t was introduced a season or two ago.
Smart women accepted 1t at once, recog-
nizing a E-anderfully graceful, artistic
style. The "trailers" held back. In their
eyes the Empire fashions smacked some
what of the negligee Of tea-gown cat
egory. The second season they began to

A BRIGHT Outlook.

With the coming of spring there are
many people who believe that business
conditions will be much better in March.
January and February have been slow,
and there has been much complaint es-
pecially among merchants who carry
many accounts among the industries, but
after two pay-days In the year it is as
serted by business men that the pays in
March will be heavy, and that there will
be large sums Of money that will go
into the regular channels of trade. Many
of the companies are making arrange
ments to improve their properties and
there will be much construction work
done by all of the companies. The out
look is far from bad. and while there
are some who look upon the dark side.
as a general thing the month of February
was good a business month as Feb
ruary a year ago, while some merchants
say the volume of trade was greater
than the same month last year.

DEPUTIES VISIT
GAMBLING ROOMS

That gambling is dead in Birmingham
is not the belief of deputy sheriffs who
visited a number of alleged gambling es-
adjustments last night. No arrests were
made but some evidence, it is said, was
secured at some of the places, which the
officers believe is strong enough to re-
suit in a conviction.
At most of the places the birds were
found to have flown. while entrance was
impossible at one or two of them. The
visits, ii is said, were not made for the
purpose of making any arrests unless
the gamblers were caught dead to
rights" At some of the places the Off
GERS state that the visit was unknown
to the operator.
