smartness as recently expressed by q
French man of liberal taste.
Your own experience may lead you
TO feel that the two-piece tailored suit
produced in this country is quite as sat-
isfactory as anything made in England
and you may be perfectly satisfied with
hats produced in this country. But the
truth remains that England sets the
fashion in the fine tweedS and woolenS
from which good looking tailored suits
are made and to set off the trim smart
ness of the tailored suit one needs a
hat that has been inspired by French
creative genius. One would no more go
to England for model hats than one
would go to France for tweeds.
The two-piece tailored suit is never
really out of fashion in France, where
this type of costume Is always chosen
for street wear during the Spring by a
large number of well dressed women. In
this country the season when one may
wear tailored jacket suit of tweed or
other wooden material is considerably
shorter. Still in most sections. OF the
country, there are days all Summer
when q lightweight suit may be worn
without discomfort and for the woman
who is planning to go abroad there is
nothing so satisfactory this season as
the tailored jacket suit to be worn with
washable blouses or lightweight jersey
sweaters.

shorter than the regular boards, but it
Is much narrower and tiny dresses can
easily be slipped over it without fear
of tearing or stretching them. Any
mother who has tried to put the tiny
neck band of baby dress over the
regular ironing board will welcome such
a board to her laundry.

changes were accepted.
1.-THE original plan has now been
discarded and new layout for steel
construction has been delivered at
my office. Preliminary checking
makes It quite apparent that We will
not be able to sanction proceeding
under this plan - 1t now stands, but
that this scheme. too. must be al
tered and strengthened.
1T Is the intention of the build
ing department to cooperate IN the
fullest measure with the architect
and the school committee. but We are
charged with the obligation Of re-
quiring safe constrrc tion. Certain
features OF the original plan would
not have sustained the load imposed
upon them. and our department,
naturally. could not countenance
such q condition. The new plan will
be thoroughly checked to avoid a
similar condition.
III We had been furnished with
the plans before contracts WERE
awarded we would have been in
position to avoid whatever difficult
ties might arise by reason Of changes
which must now be made after the
award. This procedure IL not re-
quired. but 10 common practice.
Much ~ We regret t. 1t now ap-
pears that We can give the architect
no assurance OF Z permit at least un-
til after next week. when We hav"
in our hands the new plan incor-
porating the latest changes"

Son Does Not Soc Her
Mrs. Leboeuf's youngest son. Her.
man, II. was not permitted to see
her. He IL an impressionable boy
and physicians feared the experience
might impair his health.
DR.. Dreher saw his wife and two
daughters, Polly. 30, and Dorothy,
II, at o'clock last night. He was
in tears during the entire interview
and begged his family to forgive him
and pray for his soul. The doctor's
last words were ,.'ood counsel for his
10 year old son. Teddy. whom Mrs.
Dreher had left at home.
Sheriff Charles Pecot Immediately
began making final plans for the
double execution after the federal
court and the circuit court OF ap-
peals had denied motions for stay.
He announced he would put Mrs.
Leboeuf to death first.
The physician asked for 9 last talk
with his erstwhile lover and Sheriff
Pecot said he was dis. sed to grant
the request. although in the absence
Of reporters inside the Jail 1t could
not be learned whether the doctor
would 90 through with the ordeal.

coffee was served to the condemned
couple In their cells this morning.
DR.. Hreher appeared to have been
refreshed by a nights sleep and ate
heartily. Mrs. Leboeuf merely
stared at her plate and slipped COT
fee.
On the streets the population
gathered in small groups and dis
cussed in low voices the awful penal
ty that was about to be exacted in
the Jail yard.
Mrs. Leboeuf was the first white
woman ever to be put to death for
murder in Louisiana. A century ago
