A Nation of Bridge.Builders.

"The United States is notably In
advance Of all other nations in the
science and practice of bridge-build-
ing" writes Frank w. Skinner, in
Harper's Weekly. "The increasing
demands of commerce justified longer
and longer spans, the weight of loco
motives and trains doubled and
trebled. the single bridge members
increased to one hundred feet in
length and one hundred tons weight,
wonderful steam, hydraulic, pneu-
matte and electric machine tools were
made to fashion them with, and cost
ly special shops were built in this
country and operated by thousands of
men. The methods and facilities of
erection have kept pace with these
developments. Enormous derricks,
travelling towers and steel-rope
tackles operated eight at a time by a
single steam or electric hosting
engine, with many other costly special
appliances, have been provided for as
sembling the great members quickly,
cheaply and safely into the finished
span. American stands to-day far in
advance of all the world in the daring
designs, high quality and economical
and rapid construction of many great
bridges"

THE BIG DOG UNDER THE WAGON

sCome, wife," said good old Farmer Gray
"Put on your things, tits market day
And we'll be off to the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes down.
Spot? No, we'll leave old Spot behind"
But Spot he barked, and Spot he whined,
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon.
AWAY they went at good round pace,
And Joy came into the farmers face
Poor Spot" said he, did want to come
But I'm awful glad he's left at home:
He'll guard the barn, and guard the cot,
And keep the cattle out of the lot"
NI'm not so sure of that" thought Spot.
The big dog under the wagon.
The farmer all his produce sold,
And got his pay in yellow gold,
Then started homeward after dark,
Home through the lonely forest. Harki
4 robber springs from behind a tree
"Your money or else your life," says he:
The moon was up, but he didn't see
The big dog under the wagon.
Spot ne'er barked and Spot ne'er whined
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down in the mire and dirt.
And tore his coat and tore his shirt.
Then held him fast on the miry ground;
The robber uttered not sound
While his hands and feet the farmer bound
And tumbled him into the wagon.
So Spot, he saved the farmers life.
The farmers money, the farmers wife:
And now the hero, grand and gay,
A silver collar he wears to-day;
Among his friends, among his foes,
And everywhere his master goes,
He follows on his horny toes,
The big dog under the wagon.

The Engaged Girl.

The engaged girl is always with us.
1t has never been made perfectly clear
why so many people rant in printer s
ink against the engaged girl. Every
woman writer who can get a hearing
tries to climb the ladder of fame. at
one time or another, by saying things
-invidious things-to the discredit
of some nice mans much-abused
fiancee.
The wonder is that one of these
gallant souls does not rise up in her
defense. 1t is not, however, the way
of a man to mix in" when he can
'stay out"
Let us admit the omnipresence of
the engaged girl and give her a little
more quarter than she usually gets.
tt would seem that the main and
mighty objection to her is her preoc-
cupation. The protracted quarrel be-
tween woman in general and every
engaged girl is just her engagement.
She has found some one to love.
Now, if she's a perfectly adorable
girl and we wanted her to ourselves,
we feel left out. If she's "horrid
thing, anyway" we don't understand
how any one ever could have fallen
in love with her-particularly that
nice man. There seems, you see, to
be some personal feeling in most of
these cases. The preoccupation of
the engaged girl reflects back, and
jealousy (be it whispered) is in all
probability the spur that has led to
her undoing at the hands of other
women. If you will notice, men have
not written these communications on
silly engaged people. They seem al
ways to have been a feminine inspir-
alton.
1t is invariably true that the per-
son who Is more or less interested in
her own affairs and to our own ex-
clusion arouses our ire. Those who
are positively not dependent on us are
fit subjects for condemnation, and all
those who absolutely ignore us, be
their reason what 1t may, are verita-
BILE targets for open fire.
Now, the fact that we may be too
busy to spare them thought does
not prevent our anxiety on their be-
half, should they be engaged. Nor
does our freedom from all RESPONSE
bility in their direction lessen the
general spirit of interference that
positively hovers near the loving pair.
1t has seemed at times. 40 ~ thay
really are not half so bad as people
and papers say, and that all they want

it unknowingly. and makes a silent

collar was showing sufficient acquaint-
ance with the style, now one sees
gowns at least five inches low, front
and back, worn at afternoon teas, at
noon weddings and card parties.
A few women even criticise what
would have brought an avalanche of
condemnation last year. The point
of the fashion seems to be in con-
cealing the shoulders. No matter
what the depth of the decolleteage, it
must be narrow. The drapery of the
gown must come against the neck at
sides or certainly within an inch of it.
OF course, this is an old fashion;
everything is. Yet it looks new in
the present-day atmosphere.
The decolletage gown for day wear
has come around in cycles, and its
last appearance in its present form
was during most ugly epoch In
clothes. At that time it was revival
from the Colonial period. 1t took it's
first step this time when it followed
the lines Of the Dutch neck.
Those who are not initiated still
believe that gown is built in this
square way, but the modern decollet-
age is far away from it. 1t left the
Dutch neck last summer and is now
built on more distinctive and matron-
ly lines.
The oblong opening of Colonial
days has returned to favor, and it is
continued at the back of the blouse.
1t is outlined with folds of net or
chiffon. So far this shape has ruled,
but there is steady influence at work
to bring the folded fichu and the
deep V into fashion. 1t is seen on
many of the loveliest new gowns.
Such frocks made their appear
ance at the play. They were consid-
cred correct for the theatre, but this
year they are worn for afternoon
teas, lnncheons and weddings. With
these low gowns are carried volumin-
Gus nantes of fur or chiffon or iri-
descent gauze, and above them is
usually feathered picture hat or an
lAluSuoc LUZ VI fetNSI IuIUdu Win q
huge cabochon in front.
The newest introduction of these
decolletage frocks for day wear is
the low-cut neck on soft underslip,
which carries a splendid satin coat
over it, whose fur reyers rest against
the bare skin.
A Burgundy satin coat edged with
skunk fur drops well below the knees
over a one-piece gown of dull red
chiffon. the skirt of which is bordered
with fur. There is jeweled stom-
acher, and then the bare neck rising
against the crimson and brown of the
satin and fur. With this costume
goes a Cavalier hat of dull ecru, COW
cred with shirred gold net. This is
bordered with fur and trimmed with
an immense jewel in the middle

come out very clearly.
Don't wear a hat, as they look
queer when the style changes.
Don't arrange the hair deliberately.
1t will give a fixed look. Velvet or
soft wooden goods take particularly

Don't have profile picture unless
you know you possess a good one, and
not many can boast Of that.
Don't argue about the position.
Go to good photographer and allow
him to do the posing, and if you wear

Unusual Honor For a Girl.

An eighteen-year-old Irish girl, the
Hon. Mary Westerna, has just been
made master of the Monaghan Hunt
at Rossmore, Ireland. The young
lady, who is pretty and social favor
lite, seems quite capable of filling the
position.
AS an example of the strenuous
life she leads, it is related in the
Queen that she hunted all hard day
with the Pytchley last winter, got
back after it to her aunt's house in
Market Marlborough, changed, had a
bit of dinner, Travelled all that night
to her home (Rossmore), had break
fast on arrival, then into a habit
again, and hunted all that day with
the Monaghan Harries, and the next
day had a horse running in each of
the three races of the Hunt Point to
Point and won all threei A fairly
good performance for an eighteen
year-old girl She loves dancing and
music, rides well, hunts, plays ten
mis-, golf, and other games. The
young master of the hunt seems to
have earned her honors.

Decoilete Gowns.

When and where is the colIarless

about the wearing of the slightly

time occasions, and yet there are
many women, socially we'll placed,
who have not yet starter in to wear
this gown as generally as the fash
ion permits. They do not realize its
possibilities.
The extremists have led the way
for two years. They have had many
followers in the summer, but not so
many in the cold weather. This sea-
son has shown rapid advancement
of the style. 1t is gaining its way
every week. Gowns that were con-
sidered extreme last winter for lunch
cons and the opera matinees have al
ready become commonplace.
The fashion is not only confined to
the woman with rounded curves, al
though she of the swan-like neck is
really the one to wear this style.
Girls with thin necks, dowagers with
thick ones, alike leave off their col
lars. The ever fashionable velvet
band with its jeweled clasps is worn
to hide physical defect. 1t holds in
the flesh, or gives curve to bones.
The rapid progression of the slight
ly decollete gown for house occasions
lies more in the depth of the decollet-
age than in the universal wearing of
it. Time was, and not many moons
ago, that the mere omission of a
