rather worn-0ut manner OF sending

Of other states, and, anyhow, all such
"booklets' show on their face that
they have been written up by expert

ACTIVITY IN BUILDING.
Increase Is Widespread and Gains
Are Shown by All Sections
of Country.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Continued
improvement in the building field is
shown in reports received direct from
city building departments, compiled
by Building Age.
Material is high, yet contractors
and architects report little holding
prices. The feeling among those about
to build is that it is cheaper to erect
the required structure under present
conditions rather than to wait and
pay ever-increasing rents in anttci-
patton of a lower price level that
probably will never come.
Activity is widespread for the whole
country. Not only is an increase of
100 per cent reported for the month
Of May. 1919. as compared with May,
1918, but 156 out of 1872 cities report
gains. Only twenty-SiX report loss
The total value of construction for
which permits were filed during May,
1919, totaled sos. 911.192. as against
$49.S 800 for May, 1918.
Eastern states show a gain of 1873
per cent, fifty-six out of sixty-seven
cities showing increases: middle state
cities. Ill per cent, forty-three out
of fifty showing increases; southern
cities. ITO per cent, thirty-seven out
of forty-one cities showing increases,
and western cities, 80 per cent, twenty
out of twenty-four cities showing in
creaSes.

The glory of evening wraps has re-
:urned Sumptuous is Il good word to
use in describing them; they combine
the richness Of costly hrocadeS and
velvetS with the haudSomest furS, and
extravaganza in furS is written into
the history of this winters fashions.
But extravaganza in furS is not reck-
lesshess; they have intrinsic value, like
jewels or fine oriental rugs. The wom'
an who owns good furS should cherish
them. for IT seems inevitable that they
must advance in price. There is moth
ing in apparel that may be remOdelsd
more successfully or that gives such n
certain return in satisfaction upon the
T., guired investment as good furS.
Such thing as furless wrap is
hardly to be found. In evening wraps
ample fur collars are the rule, but
there are gorgeous models in which
wide borders of fur divide honors with
regal fabrics in the body of the Wrap.

the picture above. Huge silver roses
on a dark satin ground make the love

is fashioned. Nothing could look bet
ter with it than the luxurious collar OF
dark, glossy and long-haired fox fur
that finishes it. This collar fairly in
vites its wearer to cuddle down into
it and makes beautiful background
for the evening dress it reveals when
thrown back from the shoulders.
The dress in this particular instance
appears To be of black satin and black
velvet, which is a happy choice to
wear with Il glorious wrap. One must
know where to leave off in the use of
color. Everything in the toilette pic
