The Project

Extraordinary interest has been
manifest in the project for building
an extensive addition to the Cony
High school building to relieve the
existing congested conditions, and
| provide adequate facilities for car
rying on the school curriculum, and
as this project is the important mat
ter to be considered at the annual
school meeting of the city Of Augusta
to be held Monday evening at 7.so
o'clock in City Hall auditorium, it is
anticipated that there will be an at
tendance Of citizens even exceeding
the unusual representation of last
year, when the discussion on a sim
liar question provided some real ire
works.
The present project has been spon-
sored by the Board OF Education,
and from the time when the archl-
tects' preliminary sketches were f1rst
exhibited at q meeting OF the Cony
High School Parent Teacnef Aeso-
citation. several weeks ago, citizens
have considered the proposition from
almost every angle, and the project
seems to have met with general ap-
prevail.
w. Burrill explained the proposition
to the Cony High school parents and
teachers, and at that meeting the as
ISOLATION went on record as unant-
mously favoring the building OF the
addition as suggested
The project has been presented
and explained before several other
of the Parent Teacher Associations
of the city and before the Rotary
Kiwanis and BPW Clubs. Commit
tees from these organizations have
been cooperating In the investigation
of the proposal, and a committee OF
about thirty citizens has been study
ing ways and means Of financing the
program.
Architects estimate of the cost OF
the construction was placed at from
$4,000 to $lS5,000. 1t is understood
that to obviate the necessity Of form
ing a school district by consent OF the
next Legislature, it is now proposed
to erect the building and to finish on
only the basement and first floors Tor
the present. BY leaving the second
floor to be completed at later date
it is estimated that the cost would
be cut to about 100000, which 1t is
believed could be undertaken within
the present borrowing capacity of the
city with the additional money nee.
essary, to be provided by a three mill
tax for one year, and a lesser rate
for the second year.
This latter Is the proposition which

FLOOD WATER

rises in frances already flooded riv-
ers are feared in consequence of the
continued rainfall. The Seine, which
had begun to fall slightly, has started
to rise again. The peak of the flood
will be reached tomorrow or Thurs
day. The situation in the suburbs is
far from reassuring. The water is
beginning slowly to come over the
banks Of the streams and is creeping
toward low-lying towns and villages.
in the northwestern provinces the
situation still is grave but with
tendency toward improvement.
In Belgium the worst seems over,
with the exception Of the River
Escaut, which is menacing. The work
Of repairing the damage already done
is well under way in Belgium.
in Central Europe the situation re-
mains serious, but measures to relieve
the distress are beginning to have
their effect despite the general break
down in communication. Many places
have not been heard from for over q
week.

LEATHER BAGS GOOD.

Formal wear demands a dark purse
sometimes, but the severeness of the
bag itself is relieved by frames of old
gold studded with glowing semi
precious stones. The vogue for antique
patterns is reflected in the carving
and ornamentation of many of the
frames for handle-handbags.
For practical use and business the
feathers and silks are very good,
though brilliant coloring makes a de-
cided departure in STYLE even here.

With the approach of fall comes desire for more formal, elegant type of evening frock than the un- adorned chiffon models we have worn so long. Simplicity, so inn portant feature of the spring and summer mode, is being supplanted by delicate sophistication in the matter of silhouette, as well as more elaborate effects in the way of trimming. Color, also, is undergo ing a radical change, brilliant hues and striking combinations replacing the rather anaemic tones of the past few seasons.
 A charming example of elegance in both line and ornament is the evening gown shown in the ac- companying sketch, This is a slender model of rose pink satin, covered with a delicate tracery of brilliants and hugles. The bodice is close fitting, and finished with a deep oval decolletage outlined with scalloped design in rhinestones.
 Pointed godets of pink chiffon give flutter and grace to the bottom of the skirt.
 The fall evening mode stresses the use of brilliant bead trimmings. Sketched is pink satin frock covered with delicate tracery of rhinestones and bugles.
