SOME WAIST FITTING
POINTS FOR GIRLS

There are a few things which
should be remembered in fitting
oneself, especially if it be the diff
cult matter of waist-6tting. Do
not put the waist on the wrong
side to fit it: Always try a gar
ment on and do the fitting of it
the way you propose to wear it.
This suggestion is important
for the reason that few women
are exactly the same in slope of
shoulder and waist on both sides.
When the waist is fitted to the
figure on one side and is turned
over on the other, you may find
defect which is due to this very
thing.
When putting on a waist to be
fitted slip the hands underneath
it and turn the shoulder and I'M
.derarm seams toward the front.
If there are other seams turn
these toward the back. This is
necessary in order to make the
waist lie fiat. In pinning the
front or back together, which is

one of the first things to do, have
at least two guide lines.
The waist line at the bottom
may. be one. The other might be
a line which dressnakers call the
Chest line, a line parallel with
the waist line, but only three
inches down from the neck and
running about six inches across
the middle front.
In making alterations by pin
ming be sure to pin securely.
Otherwise the alterations will be
of little use, as by the time the
waist has been removed some of
the alteration marks may have
been lost through falling pins.

WONDERFUL HELEN KELLER.
Born Deaf and Sind She Has Over
come the Handicap Of Nature.

Helen Keller, the deaf ard blind wo-
man, lectures for the benefit Of tie
Maine Sunshine Society, Friday even
ing. at Pine Street Calerega ttoTal
church, Lewiston. People going from
the kennebec cities can return on the
car leaving Lewiston at 10 O'Clock
passing the church door where the
lecture is heard
Helen Keller has overcome SO many
obstacles in her career and has ae-
complished so many wonderful
achievements, that her al last having
learned to speak seems but natural
crowning of her Years o. labor. This
has been her greatest task, however,
and has been only the result of years
of unparalleled patience and effort. It
is said by greas aural surgeons to be
the greatest individual achievement
in the whole history of education.
Being able to give Voice to the
thoughts of her active brain. Helen
Keller brings a message that is full
of 2 sunshine which she in her blind
ness sees more fully than Go those who
have sight. 1t is a message addressed
to those who. having eyes, see not, and
having ears. hear not, for no one can
hear HeieE keilers optimism and
che erfuiness without being thankful
for what are deemed to be the ordina-
ry faculties OF life.
The name of Helen Keller can never
be separated from that OF Mrs. Macy
(Anne NJ. SULLIVAN the teacher and
companion of &c years, who opened the
l. u, aiIfCidD world One
hardly knows whom to admire the
more, the scholar or the teacher. AS
they have never been separated these
many years, 50 they are not separated
on the lecture platform.
Mrs. Macy will speak first, telling OF
how she came to teach Helen Keller,
how she first was able to communicate
with the childs mind through nat
ural craving for doll. then how other
words and ideas came one by one, ana
now finally, one day, the whole system
of finger spelling dawned on Helen
Keller. ard the barrier to the outside
world was passed
It was still difficult going, but MISS
Keller's indomitahle VIII ana MIS-
Nacy,s uatience mastered all. The de-
sire to speak was the hardest OF an 70
teach. for every vocal movement had
to be learned and initiated by Miss
Keller.
Only after 20 years is she able to
make herself heard ami understood by
large audiences But she can SPEAK
and she uses her new power TO spread
cheer and happiness.
When Mrs. Macy explains all of these
preliminary stages. an explanation
that is of the profoundest interest
Helen Keller is introduced, and, by
her teachers side, she delivers her
message. AT its close, she answers the
questions OF her audience, transmitte'
to her by her teacher. This is the
most interesting part of the lecture
for it reveals best the acuteness ana
auickness of her mind.

1t is now understood that the pro

had under consideration will be built
this year, and the work on the strue-
ture will be commenced as soon as
possible, in view of the other work
which the company is now doing in
the city. 1t is also understood that the
new structure will cost in the neigh

at the west end, just north of the
present bridge, but the new bridge, it
is said will cross the river at a great

In connection with the new bridge,
which will be of the latest modern
construction, and built for the ac-
commodation of double tracks. it IS
possible that signal tower may be
erected on the east side of the river,
from which the train order signals
would be operated, instead of at the
ticket office of the passenger station
as they are at present.
The building of the new bridge will
mean a large amount of work, and
when operations are once commenced
they will be pushed ahead to compile
ton as rapidly as possible. 1t is hint
ed that the present passenger station
which will be discarded as soon as the
new station now approaching compile
ton is in commission, will be fitted up
as quarters for the men who will be
employed in building the new bridge.

Newbert and other members of the city

out at the conference that the Maine

construct a brick sidewalk, with Il
suitable curbing. on the west side of
Water street. along the entire length
of the station, from the corner Of
Court street to the end az the iron
railing at the f Of ef Fines hill, and
the railroad company also desires u
lower the grade Ct the street, on the

was formerly the roadbed of the Rines

matter will be taken up, next Monday
evening, at the meeting of the city
council.
