From the Review of Reviews The determination to know the untraveled portions that remain of the earth’s sur- face was never so strong as at the present momeat. Nansen's brilliant arctic exploits have only stimulated others to follow his example. Herr Andree has set forth from a point far north on the Scandinavian coast to try a balloon expedition into the gradually narrowing region that les un- xplored about the north pole. The thou- ands of restless adventurers who are set- ting their faces toward the Klondyke gold fields scarcely realize perhaps that they, too, are heading for arctic regions, and that Fort Yukon in Alaska is on the arc- tic circle, in the same latitude as Iceland. Perfected airship navigation would be a great convenience just now for communica- tion with the Klondyke. Australian zeal for exploration is turned toward the great interior of the Australian continent and the fascinating possibilities of) unknown Antarctia. Lieut. Peary, with a large party of American scientists, has gone for a summer trip to northern Greenland. He will plant a station to serve as a starting point for his intended dash toward the north pole next year. —<e+—__ Two of a Kind.

HEALTAY ACTIVITY IN BUILDING Permits Granted for Many Sub- stantial Buildings. A REVIEW OF THE WEEK eo Real estate matters have been a ‘ittle quiet during the past week, so far as act- ual transactions are concerned, but a number of operations of considerable im- portance are in course of development, and the future promises to be prolific in deals. Outside capital will figure largely in these matters, and there is a general feeling among real estate dealers that a very healthy period of activity will be shortly inaugurated. The settlement of tariff as tation for at least a few years, and the fact that immense crops in this country and short ones abroad bring a great deal of foreign money into circulation here, are the causes that are leading to a general re-establishment of confidence among those who have money to invest, and the adv tages presented for remunerative invest- ment in District real estate are so appar- ent that conservative capitalists are mak- ing many inquiries that will doubtless lead to practical resutts. Architects and build- ers are taking a very hopeful view of com- ing events. Many of the former have con- siderable work on their hands for fall, and the latter are kept fairly looking over propositions and making estimate: The building inspector's office is kept busy signing permits for new buildings and ‘pairs to old ones, and the week has been lively in that department.

Hough will build for the owners two three-story and basement press-brick and Indiana limestone-trimmed dwellings at Nos. 1219 and 1221 Roanoke street, Colum- bia Heights. The roofs will be half man- sard, of slate and tin, and the bay win- dews, running the full height of the build- ings, will have tower extersions. The houses will set back thirty feet on the lo and be equipped with all modern con’ ences, including hot-water. heating. will cost $8,000. Waddy B. Weod has prepared plans for a very attractive stone and frame cottage to be erected on Prospect avenue, Cleve- land Park, by the Cleveland Park Com- pany. It will be 25 feet square, and two stories in height above a cel irmount- ed by a shingled mansard roof. It will have several artistic bay windows, and the front will be of shingles and stone. The cost will be about $3,500, The recent damage by fire to premises No. 12 Pennsylvania avenue will be paired at once at a cost of $2,000. ‘he building will be restored to its former con- dition from plans by Paul J. Pelz and Jos. Burden will do the work. Altered for an Apartment House. M. J. Wine will improve his dwelling at No. 16 Sth street southeast by a side addi- tion 21 by 25 f in size and three stories and basement in height. He will also add another story to the present building. Bay windows will also be added. The building when altered will be devoted to the pur- poses of an apartment house. Wm. Yost & Brother have the contract, which calls for the expenditure of $5,000. Appleton P. Clark, jr., has made the plans and Ferd Espey will erect for Wright Curtis two brick dwellings two stories basement in height and 20 by 32 dimensions, at Nos. 3 and 1 street northwest. The . A four-story and base apartment house is to be erected in the near future on New York avenue near 3d street northwest, upon plans prepared by C. N. Gladden. ‘The front will be of buff brick and India: limestone, and copper bay windows will run to the roof. There will be balconies on each floor connecting with the bays. The entrance porch will be of stone. Tne flats will be hot water heated and thor- oughly equipped in the most approved modern style. New Elcetric Plant. Ground has been broken for the erection of the new addition to the plant of the United States Electric Light Company at 14th and B streets northwest. The new structure will be 134 feet square, -built of brick and stone, and be of massive con- struction. The builaing will rest upon a very strong foundation of piles and con- crete, capable of sustaining the heavy ma- chinery which will be installed therein. it will be one sto! and basement, and will cost about ”, the foundations alone costing over $24,000. It is expected that the improvement will be completed and the modern machinery installed by the Christmas holidays, in or- der to meet the heavy demand during that period. The new station is entirely inde- pendent of the old plant of the company, and the latter will be continued in opera- tion until the entire service is transferred to the new plant. The total cost of the in-provement will be in the neighborhood of $500,000. The improvement is arousing a great deal of interest among the elec- trical and steam engineers throughout the country, as it is intended fo embody in it the latest improvements in both electrical and mechanical appliances. Many novel- ties will be introduced with a view to in- creasing the ability to furnish electricity for both power and illuminating purposes and economizing the cost beth to the com- pany and the consumers. The contem- plated improvements have been in charge of committees of the company for the past two or three years, and methods which have been in course of experimentation elsewhere and have been proven successful have been adopted and will be introduced. All the apparatus will be on a very large and powerful scale, and labor-saving ap- pliances for the automatic handling of the machinery will be introduced wherever possible. Improving Well-Known Houses. The extensive improvements In the es- tablishment of Woodward & Lothrop are .being rapidly completed and everything will be in readiness before the regular fall opening. The new skylight will cover the silk department, giving purchasers of the delicate fabrics a full opportunity to see the exact cvior, unt and texture. Two ele- vators will be added to the two already operated, and many facilities to further improve the quick transacticn of business will be introduced. The new show windows at the F and lith street corner will be imposing. Extensive alterations and improvements are being made to the rear interior of the big building occupied by W. B. Moses & Sons, the large and rapidly increasing busi- ness of thé. firm demanding a rearrange ment cf. several important departments. Architect C. L.

Wherein the Fashions Have Changed of Recent Years — Nainsook, Lawn and Dimity Are Favored Fabrics. Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. That distinctly feminine garment, the chemise, was only partly obscured by the wave of knitted shirts which swept the country, and it emerged from the competi- tion triumphant. Leave to those of gen- erous proportions the little knitted affairs, which certainly have the merit of com- pactness, but array thyself, O woman of slender outlines, in an artistic chemise. The chemise of cur forbears was wide, short of skirt, and of good, thick, substan- tial cotton. The chemise of the present daughter of Eve is narrow, long, slim and graceful, and fashioned of material of almost cobwebby fineness. Nainsook, lawn and dimity are the favorite fabrics, and the amount of trimming depends upon the length of the purse and the good taste of the wearer. Dimity in dainty patterns is much liked, and this presupposes draw- ers to match. Some of the prettiest chemises are the simplest, and they are shown in dimity, with pink or blue dots or stripes, trim- med with ruffles of narrow white em- broidery. The “marguerite,” as it is called, is a favorite model. It reaches almost to the ankles and has an insertion run just below the bust, under which a ribbon is run, which gives it the appearance of an en pire gown. One pretty model is shown tucked from the low neck to the waist line. This gives a close fit in accordance with the prevailing desire for trimness and smoothness in everything. The long chem- ises are trimmed around the bottom with lace and tucks, or embroidery. In select- ing these care should be taken to choose a strong lace or embroidery, as the bot- tom of these chemises gets as hard wear as the bottom of the petticoat. Narrower Lace and Tucks. Many chemises one buys are trimmed with a ruffle of lace, but experience has shown that if one is to wear a corset cover it is best to have the chemise trimmed with lace set in as insertion. When no cover is worn over the corset the ruffled chemise makes a good frame. Indeed, a wave of good taste has swept over underwear, and narrower lace and tiny tucks and narrow insertion with ribbon run under it is much more worn than the wider, more flimsy imitation laces cf a past fashion. The very wide drawers of the period are usually to be purchased only in the more expensive materials, and trimmed with the more expensive laces. Under a_ chemise they are somewhat de trop, and look bet- ter with silk or lisle thread shirts, when they take the place of the underskirt. The short underskirt, by the way, has had its day. People who wear flannel nowadays generally wear it next to the skin, in the form of union undergarments or tights. A long chemise or a pair of very wide_drawers form a sufficient foundation for the long petticoat, and no one ‘cares to look bulky or wear more garments than are necessary to modesty and comfort. Dress reform is partially responsible for this, partially the desire for slender out- lines, which came in with the now extinct bell skirt. The empire night dress is not quite as popular as it was before it w: over bargain counters in 59-cent lots. model is too good a one to go out, ever, and this year one sees go hawked The ho broidery or. lace, square or pointed style shown is shirred {n three place the neck to the shoulder, and over the shirring threads is sewn a narrow row of feather stitching. ‘This feather stite! can be bought by the yard. The neck of gown is finished with a fall of lace, in place by two rows of wash ribbon, h are run through bands of insertion, which form a collar. A Pretty Idea. A pretiy idea is to the gown match the chemise, just as they do in bridal sets, for nowadays every woman aims to be more or less of a bride all her life in daintine: nd charm. Twelve yards of goods will make gown, a pair of d Wide. straight Japan- ese sleeves for night dresses are a pretty fancy, and are to be recommended for summer, or for a pretty arm any These sleeves are generally finished with an edging of lace put on plain and not at all fulled. Many colored lawn night gowns are made with Spartan simplicity. They have box pleats back and front, a square collar and a pocket at the side. ing lawn gowns, in lavender, blue and are trimmed with rutiles of white emb ery. These colored gowns cannot trusted to the tender mercies of the av More feminine-look- ink, oid- be Such gowns ar not boiled. not expen- sive, and lust two or three seasors. They range from YS cents to $2.54) aplece. Of course they can be made for less than they can be purchased. There is little change from year to year in low-necked corset covers. ‘The regular filted waist is preferred by ny, but the daintiest and prettiest are shaped either by tucks at the waist line, or made on tape: like shirt waists. These made on shirt waist lines wear the best. The objection to all ready-made corset covers is the lack of sieeve. No matter how wide the lace which is put about the neck, narrow lace is al- ways put about the arm. If cnly the same width lace were put about the lower part of the arm and drawn in with ribbons, the waist would be more modest and satisfac- tory. For every corset cover, whether high or low-necked, should bxve some slight apology for a sleeve. The present fashion of colored lawn lin- ings has created a call for underwaists and skirts of the same color and material. Very pretty lawn skirts and lawn underwaists are shown in any desired shade. One of the daintiest shown in a large shop was pale blue lawn. The skirt had a wide ruffie of Valenciennes, and the urderwaist, whicn was low-necked, had several rows of inser- tion to match around the neck. The bodice was held in place by pale blue ribbons run through the lace. A short, full pleating of lawn edged with lace formed the sleeve. Many petticoats are shown trimmed with Valenciennes, fulled in so as to make a very wide ruffle. These models are only adapted for wear on grassy lawns, or when @riving in luxurious victorias. Those who are obliged? to walk had better choose em- broidery, or one of the many plainer and yet pretty ruffles for white skirts. MABEL BOYD. —— Blind Statistics.
