LIKE UNTO THE SAVAGE

Woman Retains Her Barbarian En-
xtfncts to q Phenomenal DeEree.
To the cold-blooded. analytical stu
dent of anthropology, woman has re-
tanned all her marked barbarian IN

q magazine writer. Her clothing, orna.

longings, her likes and dislikes her IT.
rational affection and hatreds are sur
prisingly similar to those Of her jun

cial standing and the generations OF
civilization have had their influence
but their natures, instincts and that
peculiar sense, which for want OF
better name We call intuition, are the
same in every woman, whether she
a laundress or poetess. For the Man

The latest thing is the corset sewed
inside the princess dress. This insures
the perfect figure.
Small hips will be more in demand
than ever. as the hip draperias are to be
a feature of winter modes.
Dresses with jersey hodices are quite
smart at present, but plump women
should not wear them, as they require
the tightly honed bodice.
The new tailor made has a longer coat
than ever and tighter sleeves.
4 great many beads and sequins will
lie used on winter evening gowns.
The overskirt effect has come to stay,
whether on the Grecian or ON the fish

One of the latest evening wraps is
called the inside out" coat because it
can be worn on either side. 1t is com
posed of two thieknesses Of satin of diff
ferent colors. and the edges of these are
so carefully finished that the whole af-
fair can be turned inside out and thus

Have fretful spines
BE tactful and strive to please,
Clean the spots from the leopard;
Return the bears fond hug;

With camels a camels- hair shawl;

WAREHOUSE TO BE BUILT.
It Win Hold Material Belonging te
Lighthouse Service.

Foundations for a warehouse, an addi-
ton to the new pier Of the lighthouse
service, at the foot of o street south
west. have been constructed by the wharf
building plant of Clark & Son of this
city, and the pile work is ready for the
house, which will be 64x33 feet. The
pier of the lighthouse service is one of
the newest and most substantial piers
in the harbor. 1t is built on the site of
the old piers Of the Inland and Seaboard
Coasting Company, concern which a
quarter of a century ago was operating
steamers out of this city to down-riyer
points. TO Norfolk and TO New York.
Ii became involved in a rate war on the
river and this with other causes put it
out of existence. Until within the past
six months the dilapidated remains of
the old wharf were standing, an eyesore
to the harbor.
The lighthouse authorities have for sew
eraI wears past been asking Congress for
an appropriation with which to build a
new wharf. but 1t was only this year that
il became available. In building the pier
the old piles were removed entirely, and
on the site the new pier was built. The
warehouse being constructed is to be used
by the lighthouse establishment for the
storage of material and buoys used in
keeping the lights and aids to navigation
on the Potomac in good order.
