AMBER SHADE OF SHANTUNG Cool Summer Coat: Dress of That Ma terial Is Most Valuable Addi tion to the Wardrobe. This example illustrates a cool sum mer coat-dress of fancy shantung in a dull amber shade, with a waist sash In a lovely fuchsia-colored ribbon and a trimming of little buttons covered to correspond. Straight sleeves are set in at a long shoulder line, and silt up at the base for the egress of kilt ed lace ruffles, a similar ruffle oc curring at the throat, while a fill-up is supplied in a tiny croBB-over vest of white net, ornamented with wee but Itons covered with the gold shantung. It will be remarked that the tunic is of Russian persuasion, while the skirt has a panel mouvement back and front, the sides gathered in a few slight folds, close at the hem, into these, at the right side in front and the left at the back SASHES LINED WITH COLOR Give Just the Right Touch of Relief to the Always Popular Black and White Combination. Women who like to be distinct from their neighbors are returning to black and white as an admirable combination for street as well as house wear, and one o? the bits of color that they al low themselves is to line the sash. This lining shows in the loose ends more than anywhere else, but as the sash ls not drawn closely around the body, it shows up attractively in fleet ing glimpses at the side and in front One of the exclusive methods of making a one-piece frock that ls to have a sash is to drop a broad panel of the material, finished with a heavier fabric at the edges, from the shoulders to kneeB. Across this goes the sash, not at tba waistline, but below the hips, and the whole effect is quite slim and girlish. The black satin model that is made in this manner bas its sash lined with white satin and run through a three Inch loop of the material in front, just above the waistline. The sash drops down from that to ten inches below the waistline in the back and is not spread out across the hips, but allow ed to hang in careless folds. When a black sash is lined with king's blU6 or Vatican purple, the ef fect is good, although it does not have the distinction of the white lining, but after all that may be merely a matter of personal opinion and many women may prefer the touch of bril liancy. In Paris they are lining these sashes with striped Roman silk and Scotch plaid, and this idea promises to be brought out in thin cloth suits for au tumn, such as, for instance, a raven blue gabardine one-piece frock with a sash of self-colored satin lined with dull red, blue and black plaid. Sleeveless Coats. Some curious sleeveless coats are being worn. These are taken over back and front like scapulars, but they are not cut on quite such straight lines. The sides are entirely cut out until toward the hem. where the back and front are continued round to but ton over and meet each other. A belt, which is often of black satin and matches the collar, holds the coat down at the back, then passes under the material, showing again at the sides, and is continued over th? front.

Ap ply with a small brush, rubbing in thoroughly, and let -dry before wear be The Family Cough Medicine. In every home there should he a bottle of Or.

CHANGING THE TOPOGRAPHY" Giant Steam Shovels Slicing Off Sid? of Big HUI to improve the Capital. "Reminds me of pictures of work) done on the Panama canal," said a< man with his hands deep in his pock-| ets and an air of leisure. A giant! steam shovel, grating and hissing and! grinding and crunching, was scoopingj out a cartload of yellow clay every; time it bit into the earth. With a! rattling of chains and bolts and l?verai it would drop its 6poil into one of al train of railroad dump cars. Three lit-! tie but Btrong locomotives, black.1 grimy and greasy, puffed and panted! busily up and down steep grades bauH lng these dirt trains. Small rails on) crossties a yard apart were crookedlyj laid over the land. The scene was big with motion and industry. A feature of this was that around the place of this great activity are rows and rows of homes, blocks of apartment houses p.nd lines ot street cars. Crowds of men, whose engagements do not seem to be press ing, gather to watch the toilers at their task. TheBe workers are making) over a large piece of the topography! of Washington. This work may be called the Zoo; or Rock Creek Park entrance, but it! includes other projects than the pro-| vision of an adequate inlet and outlet to the Rock Creek Park area, though j the building of this park entrance isi lu itself a gigantic piece of englneer-j lng, excavation and filling. Where Columbia road, the Avenue I of the Presidents and Mount Pleasant; street intersect you will see on thei. west an extensive tract of raw, cloddyj earth, either freshly cut away ori freshly dumped in, and many perchesi of broken bluestone that have beeni hauled there to find final use as al dressing (or is it metal?) ?or the! broad roadways that are building., From Columbia road and from Mount] Pleasant street near their junction ai large section of land, generally unbuilt! on. stretches wes'cwardiy to the tree-i grown heights that drop down into thei valley of Rock creek on the east sidei of the Zoo grounds. A wide, bare clay avenue leads; westwardly down grade, cuttingj through the side of an oak-timbered i hill on the north and on the south i filling part of the ravine or vale: through which Quarry road leads, or led, till the level of the new street ls higher than the roofs of the houses that face on Quarry road. Lanier street has been filled across the Quarry road ravine and connects with the avenue building to the Zoo. Eighteenth street has also been filled across this ravine, shutting in a deep y hole many of the familiar houses along Quarry road, the outlet from which is now by means of a new and romantic, steep and crooked little street called Summit place. The new park entrance after slicing off the side of a big hill enters the valley of Quarry road obliquely and at the point of contact with Eight eenth street an extensive high-uplifted plaza is forming. F^om this point the new way is building down the line of. old Quarry road, whose bed is being; buried 40 feet, it may be 50 feet, un-: der mountains of dirt dumped by trains into this once picturesque vale. Up on the highland and running' west from Mourt Pleasant street isi being cut through a new Gtreet called ? Hobart. It ls a big piece of work and thou-j sands of fascinated persons who live) in that neighborhood or stray in thati direction gather to watch its progress.; IS A THING OF THE PAST! Curios of the Post Office Departmenti Are Transferred to the , National Museum. The Postal museum, which former-; ly attracted thousands of sightseers: to the postoffice department, is a thing of the past. Some time ago! the dead letters, curios and other pos tal relics representing the accumula tion of a century, together with a comprehensive exhibit of mail equip-: ment and transportation facilities,, were assembled and catalogued at; the direction of the postmaster gen-i eral and transferred to the New Na-i tional museum. The postage stamp! collection of the United States gov-: ernment, which formerly occupied the< third floor corridor of the postoffice building, has been removed to the Smithsonian Institute. The American stamp collection is. more complete than any owned by other governments, and Its value is conservatively estimated at half a million dollars. Practically every is sue of postage by the nations includ ed in the international postal union is; represented by all or nearly all de nominations, as there is an arrange-: ment between the postal administra-' tions of those countries for the ex-: change of specimens of all new is-i sues of stamps. . The issues of nations not adher-i lng to the international postal union: are naturally incomplete, but a large? number of stamps illustrating parts of those issues are included in Unclei Sam's collection. Every issue of the; United States government since 1847,; the year the first American stampi appeared, ls complete with the excep tion in all of about ten specimens.. This is probably the most complete set In existence, and many entire is sues are in duplicate. Two private collections of stampsi exceed the American government col-! lection in size and value. The first is owned by a French nobleman, and the second belongs to a resident of Chicago. _
