One advantage of entertaining

works in appropriately with 1882

Careful Remodeling
Saves Many Dresses
Dress That's Too Good to Throw
Away and Not Good Enough to
Wear Saved by Remodeling

Thousands of women are con-
fronted each year with the prob
lem of the dress that's too good
to be thrown away and yet not
good enough to wear. The dress
may be worn out at the elbows or
under the arms. It may be too
short or too tight, or simply out of
style. Many of these dresses can be
attractively remodeled at an aver
age cost of Is to SO cents per
dress, according to Miss Lois
Holderbaum, extension clothing
specialist, Washington State col
lege.
Dresses worn out under the arms
may be renewed by yoke of new
material in a harmonizing tone. A
favorite for these yokes has a deep
point front and back, and extends
two or three inches below the arm
scye at each side. If the sleeves
are worn out, new sleeves of the
yoke material may be used with
deep pointed cuffs of the same ma
terial as the dress. The fashion
books show many different types
Of yake and sleeve patterns. In
most cases only a yard to yard
and half of material is required.
Then there are the dresses that
are a little too snug. Many dresses
are large enough when purchased,
but shrink when dry cleaned. If it
is ready-made dress with no ex-
ira material, the belt may be rip
ped open and set in the under arm
seams and a leather or other type
of belt purchased.
Lengthening dresses is one OF
the most difficult problems. 1t the
dress has straight skirt with a
hem in the back and circular
skirt in the front, as many dresses
of q year or two ago have, it may
be lengenthed by cutting the
sleeves off at the elbow and fin
ishing with cuffs or other finishes
for short sleeves. The two pieces
of the lower sleeve may then be
used to make a yoke to set in
across the front at the hip line.
This will lengthen the circular
skirt in front, and the back may
be heightened by letting out the
hem.
A wool dress which is too short
and too small may be made into a
good looking skirt by taking parts
OF the waist to make a yoke and
goring the lower part of the skirt
to give fullness. A blouse OF light
weight wool or silk will complete
the costume.
In remodeling clothes, one should
try to achieve good lines and pleas
ing color combinations. An OLD
dress attractively remodeled Is a
good investment in time, money
and satisfaction.

delay after delay, query after query
in the Assembly as to when the House
was to be rooted, tarred and finished.
Finally in the Council, June %,
1897, hardware for the furnishings
were ordered, "locks, handles and
sneck bills" From another item of
this date we learn that the windows
of the building were six and a half
feet high and four feet wide, not so
large as those of the St. Mary's State
House.
Colonel Herman died in 1897, be-
fore the State House was completed,
adding more confusion to that already
existing. Then his master workmen,
who were from Philadelphia, ran away
to their homes, and Major Edward
Dorsey and Mr.. John Hammond, both
local men, were made trustees" to
see that the State House was COM
pleted.
The Assembly, still in the Dorsey
Mansion, in session, provided for the
arrangement of the interior of the
State House as follows:
That the great room below stairs
(be) for Courts and Assemblies to sit
in. The two rooms on the right hand
above stairs for jury and land office
records to be kept in, and the front
porch for the Commisary's office and
the records of probate of wills be kept
in. The two rooms in the upper lofts,
one for the County clerk to keep the
court records in, and the other for
the Annapolis Town clerk to keep his
papers in; and in the other two rooms
on the left hand, one for keeping the
records of the Chancery Court, the
other for keeping the records of the
Governor and Council in. The room
above the back porch to be kept for
the clerk of the House of Delegates.
The loft above the front porch, over
the Commissary's office, to be for the
hanging of lanthorn and for a Com
mittee room.
On June II, 1897, the House adj
journed, having first recorded its
thanks to the Governor for present
from him of copper vane and "broad
pennant" for the service Of the State
House. 1t also directed that the arms
of England, "insanguened," be sent
for to go over the main entrance.
It will be again noticed that there
is no mention of chimneys for the ed
ifice; they were later added, and Dutch
stoves were ordered, "to be kept in the
Offices"
On May 29, 1897, the trustees re-
ported to the Assembly that the State
House was not yet ready for occu-
pancy, and further alterations were
made. Again a drummer boy was fur
nished to notify the members of the
approach of a session, some as early
as six o'clock in the morning.
For the first time, in 1898, the leg
islative body met together in the
State House.
On July %, 1899, while the House
was in convention, the Nicholson State
House was struck by lightning. The
Calvert county delegate, Mr.. Hanson,
was killed, and other members "gre-
viously injured visiting our sins"

THE PROCESSION OF
BUILDINGS BEGAN
WHEN PALATINATE
WAS FOUNDED
By HENRY ]. BERKLEY
In the Baltimore Sunday Sun, April 10

Continued from last issue)
In 1894, the Royal Governor Mich
olson flor Maryland was no longer a
Palatinate, but directly under the rule
of King William and Queen Nary
was all haste to get away from the
Proprietary Town of the Baltimores
and its Catholic people to the, to him,
more salubrious location of Annap-
oils.
Without waiting for the erection of
suitable accommodations, he ordered
the next Assembly to convene there.
This end was accomplished by an act
"for surveying and laying out towns
by the present General Assembly (that
of 1894, six acres of land entire for
the erection of a court house and
other buildings for the better ac-
commodating and entertaining of
those persons who have re-
course to Assemblies and Provincial
Courts"
Under this act the first building to
be erected was the Provincial Court,
now known as the Council Chamber
or Treasury. It is the Oldest building
now standing from Colonial days in
the Capital City finished April, 1894.
In addition to the six acres for the
public buildings, large embellishments
to the new domain were planned.
There were to be extensive gardens
with shrubbery, walks, ponds and
summer houses, a broad Common for
the play place of the artisianclass, and
vast wharfage for the incoming and
outgoing ships that bore the COM
merce of the port to the Mother and
foreign countries, with warehouses
to store goods.
While all this elegant planning was
being done the Assembly convened
at a private mansion-that of Major
Dorsey, prominent citizen of the town
where, alas, they were to meet for
several years.
Now a blight seems to have fallen
on the elegant scheming Of Governor
Nicholson. Money, from the several
sources of tobacco and the excuses,
did not come in with the rapidity that
was expected, and later construction
was not only delayed but its quality
impaired.
The actual specifications of the
Nicholson building-the Fourth State
House of the province-may be found
in the archives only in scattered frag-
ments, here and there. Col. Angus
tine Herman, of Bohemia Manor, who
had wandered into the colony and be-
came naturalized, obtained the con-
tract for building it. An agreement
was reached in the House May 20,
1895, for the erection of the State
House, to cost 100000 pounds of to-
bacco and $50 pounds sterling. Only
from fagmentary items in the journals
of the Assembly can one determine
what was actually done.
By the date specified the founda-
tions had been laid (there are no
known measurements for building
in APPARENTLY, rectangular form, two
stories and attic high, afterward
changed to cruciform shape by the
addition of "porches" front and rear.

Mdryldnd'S Early State Houses

abstain from bodily labour." Con-
siderable damage was done by the
lightning and fire that followed it.
This was repaired and the building
made again habitable.
On December 9, 1704, the Fourth
State House was burned to the
ground. After the confagration had
spent itself a committee from the
Governor and Assembly reported that
new State House, the fifth in order,
could be built upon the "brick foun-
dations," and the Hon. William Blad-
en- undertook its construction. Secur-
ity was given to the Governor to the
amount of 1000 pounds sterling for
his proper performance within a set
time of eighteen months. Beyond that
the building was finished within the
required time, we learn but few de-
tails.
Apparently the construction was i'll
done, for in 1921 the Assembly ap-
pointed another committee to view its
condition and make repairs. 1t was
ordered that the shingling be renewed,
while cupola, flagstaff and brass
fame were added to it. From the re-
port of the committee we learn that
this building had dormer windows,
just how many is not stated, some
thing that is not in accord with the
local Renaissance style.
In 1924 the State House was found
| to be Gin very decaying condition"
and extensive repairs were made,
costing 245 pounds sterling. Some of
the bills of this period are to be found
in the "Iron Chest Book" journal
that carried from about this date to
1767.
The Fifth State House lasted to the
days of Governor Eden, the last Colo
NAL executive, when the present am
bilious structure (now largely chang
ed) was commenced (1774) and COM
pleted, except the dome, just before
the Revolutionary War began.
We have now reached the domain
of the architect against that Of the
undertaken (builder) and for the Eden
State House, James Clerk was ap-
pointed, with William auckland as as
sistant. Both were of English nativ-
ity. The latter had already con-
structed some of the finest private
homes of Annapolis, which still stand
today, the Chase, the Hammond and
possibly White Hall, the residence
of Governor Sharpe. He was brought
in to assist in the interior cornices and
wood carvings, in which he excelled.
auckland died, but Clark eventually
completed his work in 1875, the dis
turbances attending the rebellion of
the Colonies having delayed it, the
present dome being then added and
covered with copper plates.
There is no known drawing of either
the Fourth or Fifth State House, and
the scraps of specifications do not al
low of any reconstruction. The latter
is supposed to have been "neat
brick building" in form an oblong
square, entered by hail." Opposite
the door was judges seat, and on
both sides were rooms for juries to re-
tire. On the wall hung a portrait OF
Queen Anne, representing the SOW
ereign presenting charter to the City
of Annapolis.

ficials of Electrical District
looking to a coalition of
plans whereby power from
Coolidge dam may be utiliz-
ed for electrifying pumping
plants throughout both the
irrigation project and the
electrical district.
1t is pointed out by Mr..
SouthWorth that's ince it will
be necessary to have power
to operate pumps within the
irrigation project it would be
to the advantage of the land
owners of this district to uti-
lie power rightfully belong
ing to the land. it would be
still more advantageous to
also operate the pumping
plants within the electrical
district with the same power.
What could be more desir-,
able than a mutual agree
ment between the two dis
tricts than consolidating the
two distribution systems and
the use of power from the
Coolidge dam power plant,
which is now being sold
otherwise? Mr.. Southworth
believes no difficulties will
be encountered with the Salt
River Valley Water Users
Association in the matter of
satisfying its contract with
Electrical District No. 2.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-03-18

The acreage involved in the
proposed alliance between
the two districts is 145, 900
acres, 100000 acres being
under the San Carlos project
and $4,000 acres within Elec-
trical District No. 2. There
are 10000 acres within Elec-
trical District No. 2, one-half
of which is within the San
Carlos project. However
the pumping outside the irri-
cation district would be op-
Grated as a unit of the entire
project. Expansion of the
irrigation district to taken in
all of the electrical district
lands is not contemplated at
this time but would probably
have consideration at some
future time when the stored
and water available for
pumping would seem to justi-
fly such consideration.
The whole scheme is one
of great Importance to the
future development of the
valley and leaves an opening
through which to finally ac-
quire all power lines and
power in the valley and sup
ply electrical energy at
minimum cost. 1t would al
so prove an effective method
of paying off the project cost
from the sale of power.
