OIL FOR Street sPR|AKL|AG
Mayor MaIoney and the Council Con-
sidering the Feasibility
Of Such Step. n

Mayor Maloney and the members OF
the city council are considering the
question OF using crude oil for the
purpose of sprinkling the streets OF
Bryan. They believe there is no more
fruitful source of disease than the
terrible dust the people are compelled
to breathe into their lungs from day
to day, and to abate this nuisance, and
to protect the health of the people, is
engaging their most serious consid-
Grafton.
The mayor asked the Gulf Pipe Line
Company. through its agent, Mr., j. d.
Prlddy, for prices, and also for an ex-
preston in regard to the practicable,
ity of oil for sprinkling.
They replied that oil would make a
good street or road II kept up and
applied intelligently. They stated the
first application would not last very
long; the second would last longer
and when thoroughly saturated and
hardened an application every four or
five months would keep down the dust
and the street in good condition.
The mayor is not altogether salts
fed in regard 10 the matter, and
would like to have expressions through
The Eagle from parties who have seen
the proposition of oil for sprinkling
tested out.

SEWER work
Majority Of the Main Lines Has Been
compIeteo-PeopIe Slow
to Connect.

In conversation with Mayor Maloney
this morning he stated to the reporter
that the main lines of the sewer sys-
TEN had been completed from the sep
tic tank to Bryan street, south on
Bryan street to the International &
Great Northern depot, across to the
brick warehouse, and that the line
was now coming north in rear OF the
business houses next to the Houston
& Texas Central railroad
The Anderson street line has been
completed from Bryan street west
seven blocks, also the cross line con
Meeting Anderson street with the main
line leading out to the septic tank.
The mayor stated the property own
ers were very slow in connecting up
with the system, and especially the
business houses on Bryan street He
stated that only a reasonable time
would be granted, after which the san
ltary law relative to connections would
be enforced to the letter Especially
would it be enforced with reference
to the discontinuance of all cess
pools.
There is some little expense at
tached to connecting up with the
sewer system, but the convenience
gained, and the further fact that al
troubles of that nature are forever a.

MAKING ONES OWN LINGERIE

Many women make their own dainty
lingerie, and the woman VINO Is in the

shops except at a high price. In August
one can pick up for a mere song at the
white sales lengths OF fine batiste or
handkerchief linen and remnants Of pref
ty laces which may be made up into
models equal to, and surprising even.
the French lingerie which every women
covets.
The present styles demand that the lin
gerie shall be perfect fitting. The one
piece frock brought about the combina-
ton affair Of corset cover and under
skirt or drawers. In this garment all ex-
ira material is done away with at the
waist line. The vogue Of the empire

all men could adopt that suggestion.
Slaves to unhappiness, I mean
The only man who can be sure Of hap
piness is he who has something of that
spirit.
The wealthiest. the most fortunate of
mankind without it, is in constant dan
ger Of black despair
The poorest. the least apparently
blessed OF men, can always be cheerful
If he has learned that lesson
A little friend of mine came up on my
veranda the other morning to tell me
what beautiful time she was going
to have that afternoon. Some friends
of hers had invited her to ride horse
fond of riding, but seldom has an op-
portunity to indulge her fondness
That afternoon 1 was surprised to see
her setting forth on foot and called out
to ask what the matter was.
She came up on my verarda all smiles
and explained that one of the horses had
gone lame and the ride had to be given
up.
You are very cheerful about it,
said
"Oh, yes,'' said she. I'VE are going to
take a long walk and come back on the
trolley by moonlight and 1t is such a
beautiful day I know 1 shall have a fine
time"
But that isn't riding. and you love to
ride So.
well, I'll tell you. Miss Cameron" she
answered, more soberly, what I always
say to myself when things happen like
this. I say, If I can't have what want
I'll want what 1 can have and I try
to do it. too and you don't know how it
helps"
OF course, I don't know what that
girls life Will be; whether it is destined
to be full of hearts desires fulfilled or
longings thwarted. but l do know one
thing. and that is that she will always
be a blessing to herself and those about
her because she will always be happy.
Not to care too much for what hap
pens;" not to leave our peace Of mind
at the mercy of events"
To learn to say. IF / cannot have what
want I'll want what I can have"
Surely all these are signboards on the
footpath to happiness and serenity.
No. none Of them are the easiest things
In the world to accomplish. In fact,
they are some OF the hardest.
But tell me this. Did ever the easiest
way lead to the Journeys End OF Peace
and Happiness?

kimono sleeve. Irish lace insertion orna-
mented the front of the gown, running
in three rows from the bust line to the
empire waist line, which was refined by
hemmed embroidered Sits. Through these
eyelets inch-wide ribbon was drawn and
tied in loops and ends in front. The
bdice and sleeves were deliberately en-
braidered in hand stitchery.
Another gown which was trimmed In
Irish lace showed band of the inser-
ton bordering the front and running
across the shoulders and body of the
garment. The body of the gown and
sleeves were cut in one. There was an
extravagant amount Of hand embroidery
across the top OF the gown and on the
sleeves. The gowns of the kimono type,
with the sleeve cut in one with the body,
are usually made with the small, square
gusset under the arm of the sleeves,
which prevents the tendency of the gown
to tear and wear out under the arms.
Modish Petticoats.
The petticoats this season are Of fine
soft muslin, free from stiffening. They
are fitted as smoothly as possible over

deep founce. and though they have their
nounces, these are as a rule shaped
affairs set on the body Of the skirt
smoothly OF course they widen toward
the bottom, but merely in gentle rip
pfc, without suggestion of bouffancy or
crispness, and the trimming of the
flounce is fiat. or II bordering frills are
used, these frills are of soft lace. which
