City Council last night received a
communication from the Board Of
Water Commissioners stating that
tl4at department would need con-
siderable amount of money for the
renewing, enlarging and extending Of
the distribution system Of the depart
ment, in case the proposed street
work is carried through. 1t was
pointed out that money for this work
should be appropriated before the
100000 for street work is granted.
The Water Commissioners say that
the task before them in CARRYING IN
this work is too large for them TO
do with their present appropriation.

strated that the thirty to forty thou
sand dollars which they have been
able to apply is barely sufficient TO
meet the normal growth Of the city.
and would not me sufficient for re-
Eewing and enlarging such a large
number of services. They say a
small deficit of expenditures over ap-
preparation has frequently been oc-
easioned in order to grant applica-
tions for water mains and at the same
time work in advance on such streets
as are Delng improved.
The directors informed the Coun-
Gil that until they have accurate in
formation as TO what streets are to
be improved, they cannot give any
definite estimate of the cost, but will
do so as soon as the list is submitted
to them. They said they would be
pleased TO have a conference with

IT. IS the wise woman who, when
changed conditions are inevitable,
loses no time IN regretting the
past, but resolves to accept the
new with enthusiastic welcome and
to adjust 1t intelligently to her indi-
vidual needs.
Small use, now, of bemoaning the
fashions that are gone-the clinging,
classic draperies that were so lately
the ideal of sartorial grace; the soft.
substanceless silks and laCes. the pet
ticoatless skirts that chung to the feet
at every step, the corset that made
one feel-and look-as relaxed and
comfortable in a formal evening cos
tune as in a negligee at home. All
these have passed into history and re-
GREETING them is wasting time. The
new fashions demand new fabrics. new
trimmings. a new silhouette, and even
a new carriage. Woman no longer
Slouches and droops; she must stand

pains while the yard and n quarter

normal walk will soon be noted on the

early in September is brought out. All
this is quite different from a decade
ago when every woman wore her
spring suit in April and May and again
through the fall months. Styles change
too rapidly now to make it safe to
hang a tailored costume away in the
wardrobe all summer and then ex-
pect 1t to do duty for three months in
the autumn.
The new spring suits will be very
chic and military, with ripple skirts,
cut remarkably short n little coats
scarcely below the waistline. made
gay with quantities OF braid and but
tons. Tassels, too, are in fashion.
They swing from cord ornaments at
the back of the coat, from %epaulette
on the shoulder and from
pointed TUNES on the skirt. Cord frogs
are immensely stunning and of course
they are used on the coat-front IN mil
itary effect. An army blue tallleur
just completed by u New York house
which caters to wealthy patrons has
r slashed coat bound with black silk
braid and trimmed with cord frogs
from close, high neck line to waist
line. All the new coats have long,
mannish sleeves, for d three-quarter
sleeve would not accord with the mill
itary idea at all.

is a new notion in trimming devices.

Undoubtedly the good looking bcltcd
tailleur of sand-colored linen, made
for southern wear at the fashionable
Jeckyl Island colony, Will be the fore
runner of many similar models for
next summers wear, for this neat little
linen suit is exactly what women like
best for all-around summer use. The
skirt Is widened at the back with fatty
pressed pleats. and above the coat Is
pleated into a low belt which defines
a long waistline and passing under
side-straps, buckles at the front. The
skirt laps in front and buttons with
big pearl buttons and the coat, single
breasted and with mannish lapels, also
fastens with pearl buttons. Made of
white, green, brown or dark blue linen.

for summer wear. travelling or at the
beach.
The other white suit is more ex-
IRENE. The short coat has its fullness
at the front-connned under a but
toned strap, n the high neck closing,
though exceedingly smart just now,
will not be practical for warm weather
wear. Much smartness is added 10
this costume by the close turban of
black hemp trimmed with white and
draped with II long black veil in the
new tanner. The senorita parasol is
black and white also, and the boots
are ultra style, with laced white tops.

broadcloth, serge, wool poplin, gabar-

favored. The military influence in
fashion is very discernible and the
smartest tailleur this spring will UNI

made of army cloth or sand-colored
covert cloth with jaunty trimming of
cord ornaments, frogs n buttons In
rows and groups. Covert cloth is not
exactly cool for warm weather wear
but that is Il detail. And one does
not order a smart spring suit for all
summer wear anyway. With the be-
ginning of June any fabric of wool
weave becomes intolerable, in this
North American climate. and suits OF
liner or of taffeta are substituted for
those of worsted-woven material.

her spring suit late in February or

gaiety and feminism in tailored
wear; though the sport suit Is de-
signed for wear in the country rathe
than upon city Streets very good
sport suit for the out of door life at
Aiken. where athletics occupy the
hour rather than the fashionable
Longing and social diversions popular
at Palm Beach. This suit is of gun
metal gray worsted with a tiny heck of
white in the weave, the material being
excessively soft and beautifully light
in texture. The coat approXimates the
belted Norfolk style, though there are
slight differences, as in the group of
tucks which draw In the upper part
just below the bust, and the slashed,
overlapping side seams below the belt,
The coat has mannish lapels and regu-
lation coat sleeves and the huge patch
pockets over the hips add much to it's
natty smartness. The skirt ripples
slightly and buttons down the side:
and, of course, 1t is short enough to
snow the feet In their trim walking
boots.
Another sport suit, OF slate gray
worsted, has a pleated Norfolk coat
with patch pockets and a ripple skirt
buttoned straight down the front.
this suit Is shown also In oxford gray
and in a grayish tan with white lecks.
With these sport suits the we'll dressed
woman wears a blouse OF tub silk, or a
blouse of some soft, washable cotton
material. Lace and chiffon blouses
are not good style with sport suits of
~semi-rnannish character.
The petticoat comes into it's own
with the revival Of wider skirts; for
a ripple skirt, swinging about the
ankles absolutely demands a frilled
petticoat Of some sort underneath.
The new silk petticoats are wonder
fully beautiful in color and have
sheath upper parts which cling to the
hips, and knee-deep founces or over
tapping ruffles of the silk, usually ac-
Gordon plated. 1t Is possible to add
a charming ouch of color to the cos
tune by means Of a bright silk petit
coat. and most women are glad to see
the return of the petticoat to fashion.
