ENGINEERS CONSIDERING DEEP
ENiNG MISSISSIPPI TO BE
HEARD FROM SOON.
BAD IMPRESSION GAINED
That the Commercial interests Don't
Warrant Expenditure OF Neces-
sary Sum For the Eeep
Waterway.

Washington, June 4--F'rom the
known attitude of some prominent
army officials the impression has
been gained that the unanimous re
port of the army board Of engineers
on the proposed Mississippi deer
waterway project from st. Louis to
the gulf, which probably will be be
fore congress the end of next week
takes The general ground that the
commercial interests do not warrant
which would be required to construct
and maintain the proposed waterway
No intima,ion, however of the cen
conclusion of the engineers could be
obtained today.
This matter is of much interest to
the middle section OF the United
States. The conclusions of the board
have been awaited with great deal
of impatience, especially in congress,
where two weeks ago there was an
extended debate over the question OF
calling upon the secretary Of war to
transmit forthwith report on the
subject. According to law the board
was authorized to pass on data col
lected by the special board created
by congress to examine the Missis-
sipppit river below st. Louis Off the
purpose of collecting data to enable
the army engineers to reach con
clusion, with a view of recommending
action thereon.
The report of the board will not be
made publcuntil after it has gone
to congress.
The proposed deep waterway from
st. Louis to the gulf is part of the
project in the connection of the great
lakes with the gulf by a channel suf-
icicnt to accommodate large craft
throughout the year. According to
legislation adopted by congress when
it authorized a survey of the Miss's
sippi the engineers were to collect
data on the construction of a channel
fourteen feet deep.

fortunately, Mother Cavenaugh, good
hearted and amiable in her way, had
been stung by the bee of the climbers,

aristocratic family (poor, it is true),
the doors of the Cavenaugh mano-

WHEN SHORTENING A SKIRT.
Should Always Be Done from h Bot
tom-Two Methods That Are
Recommended.

To shorten a skirt do so from the
bottom, either by making tucks or cut
ting off the number of inches from
the ground to make it the desired
length. When a skirt is to be length
ened, do not attempt to piece 1t at the
top. One way to lengthen the skirt is
to turn it off evenly from the floor,
the difference between the
length desired and that which the
skirt has after it Is trimmed evenly.
Cut a piece of material twice the num-
Der of inches, in width required to
make the desired length, and as many
inches around as the skirt measures.
Allow one-half inch on all seams. Join
this extra piece to the skirt proper,
with the seam on the right side, Press
it fiat with the edge down. Turn the
added piece up on the right side.
Measure from the waist line down the
length of the skirt, and turn the bal,
ance of the piece up on the right side.
Fold in half an inch at the edge, and
haste the edge over the joining. Stitch
a double row of stitching, sewing on
the applied hem, one at the extreme
edge and the other about one-quartel
of an inch from 1t. Press this fiat
and you have a trimming as well as
an added length.

court with his appeal.
Let us have patience" the girl
whispered. "Tll undertake to bring
him to reason"
But Darlington went home that
night without his love for the father
increasing any.
And so the matter stood at the pres
ent time. The affair had gone neith-
er forward nor backward.
All, were he less honest, how easily
he could bring the old curmudgeon to
terms! There was that in his pocket
which would open the way to the altar
quickly enough. But Darlington was
manly and honest to the core, and to
| him blackmail stood among the basest
of crimes. Many times during the past
48 hours the tempter had whispered
in his ear that here was a way out
of his difficulties; but the young mar
had listened unmoved.
During the summer and autumn
months of the year the Cavenaughs
lived at their country place over in
New Jersey, and there Darlington
spent the week-ends. There were
horses to ride, golf and tennis, and q
Saturday night dance at the Country
club. To be with the girl you love
v e if you can't have her, is some
compensation, ~Cavenaugh never Joined
the fetes and sports of the summer
colonists, but he offered no objections
to the feminine members of his house
hold for selecting Darlington as theil
escort for the week-ends. Indeed, BY
now he began to consider Darlington
as a harmless, sensible, well-groomet
young man, who relieved him of al
the painful duties to the frivolous. |

For himself, he always had some goo,

Sundays; and together they consum
mated plans that gave the coup d
grace to many a noble business ga
leon. This particular summer Their
were no dukes OF princes fioatin

agreed that it was a commendabl

PLAITINGS RETURN TO FAVOR.
Advent of Pussy Dresses of a Former
Period Are Responsible for I
Revival.

The tiny knife plaitings only an
inch in width are again coming to
the front with the revival of the fussy
dresses of the 1880 period. They be-
long to the era Of the little roses, mar
row fringes and puffs. The selvedge
of chiffon cloth cut off and sent to the
plaiter's or else done with patience at
home will save the whole hemming
process. The French also double chif-
fon before it is plated, to avoid hem
ming. The selvedge Of some silks may
be used in the same way, and when
the band Of a different color along the
edge happens to be in harmony or in
good contrast 1t has even been chosen
as a decoration for the dress, and al
lowed to go into the frill. Tiny knife
plaitings are made of lace insertions
because the straight edge forms a
more even line than the seallop of
lace. When insertions are used for
frills, whether gathered or plated,
they are felled to the gown so that the
pattern may not be wasted in a seam
Taffeta ribbon, too, is frequently con
verified into knife plaitings.

Chamois Gloves,

Chamois gloves are again gaining
popularity. They look well in warm
weather and are not half as extrav-
agant as kid ones. They come in
white and several shades of yellow.
The wise girl keeps two pairs of
these going at once, and each day
washes one pair that they may be dry
to wear the following day. To wash
them cold water must be used and
white soap. Warm or hot water shirv
els and hardens them.
Put the gloves on and give them q
thorough washing as you would youl
hands. Do not put them near the heat
while drying.
