CO-OPERATIVE ln. ,,K i.
I the scheme started by a couple
aV I of New York vnm.n a ou -
so ago. For them, as club di
rectors, It represents a comfort-
ahle livelihood. For women who may Join
as members, it Kill be a way of procuring
smart, well cut gowns at little cost.
"TIib women who can afford to y $J5
to have a costume made up will not be
interrsted III our club," one of its
originators said. "Women who must
economise in dress, yet wish something
more exclusive than a ready made gar
ment and something smarter in rut and
fit than the ordinary dressmaker can give,
are the ones to whom this organisation
will appeal.
"We provide sewing parlors, machines,
fashion plates and the services of a cut
ter and titter who for years has been
employed in one ot the leading women's
tailoring establishments' In the rlty. A
member may bring materials for any
garment a shirt waist, walking suit or
ball gown to the club rooms, have it
cut In real tailor fashion and tilted per
fectly, and then may finish the garment
at home U (he la competent to do
"A woman who does not understand
dressmaking- at all may come here time
after time to finish a garment, and she
will be directed how to proceed; but she
must be able to do good plain sewing
and know how to run a sewing machine
for herself.
' "A session or meeting lasts four hours,
either in the morning or the afternoon,
and we do not allow more than ten women
to attend a session, or any woman to
have more than one garment cut and
fitted during that time.
"A member ia entitled to attend ten
sessions. She may arrange for one each
week or each month, for two a week, '
or she may come ten days In succession,
as she chooses, so lopg as those nieetlngs
have not already been spoken for by their
full number of workers. ,
"The woman who Is an average good
sewer, but who lives In a boarding house
and has no sewing machine of her own,
should be able to make at least three
gowns during the ten sessions, doing the
machine work while here and leaving the
finishing touches and handwork fr com
pletion at home. Ordinarily -she ., would
pay a dressmaker the amount of l.er club
fee for making a single gown, and would
receive a very Inferior cut at that.
'A woman who wishes only one garment
cut and fitted may attend a single meet
ing by paying 1150. Often a woman llv
lng alone will ace a piece of silk for a
waist, or some pretty material for an
evening or house gown, which Is a real
bargain.
"She would purchase It, were It not
for the fact that the making would cost
"quite ax much as the material, and she
is not able to cut the garment or fit If
for herself. The club will enable such
a woman to have the dress at little more
expense than the price of the material.
"We keep all the leading fashion maga
zines on our tables, and expect to con
sult with our members as to the best
colors and styles when they are In doubt
upon such points. We will try to advise
them of pretty, effective trimming for
gowns which require edornment of the
kind and will save them the bother of
shopping for linings and findings when
they desire it.
"No. we did not originate the tdea. We
borrowed It from a woman up state who
has been running a club of the sort for
several year and who cannot accommo
date the women who are clamoring for
membership. "-Nw York Sun.

At Morlans. in the lower Pyrenees, this
was a striking feature of the fair held on
St. John's day. Young girls and women
stood ill rows with their hair hanging
down their. barks, all combed and brushed,
inviting the Inspection of the coupeurs.
Now this public exhibition Is forbidden
and the merchants erect tents or rent a
room or a shop, or. as in Brittany, go from
house to house seeking customers and pro
claiming their trade by a twist of hair
tied to a staff. Farm servants and milk
maids are the most ready sellers.
Much discussion goes, to the bargain, but
formerly the woman was persuaded to sur

Column to Form a Dam
T HAS remained for a .Chicago en
gineer to perform one of the
strangest engineering feats yet
witnessed at Niagara, where
strange creations of engineers.
have come to be looked upon- a a matter
of course. The Canadian olty of Niagara
Falls. Ont.,' oix'ratea Its own water plant,
and It has exjX'Henced great difficulty In '
getting enough water at its intake to supply
the pumps. This intake is In Victoria park,
where the big power development Is under
way, and the work on all side has beck
very extensive. The Niagara 'Falls' park
end River Railway company, which d.
velops Its own power, also depends upoa
the water works Intake- for its supply of
water, and this company also made com
plaint to the commissioners of Victoria
park that the construction for power de
velopment has lowered the water at the
Joint intake.',
While the park commissioners, who gave
a hearing on the subject, did Dot feel that
the complainants had proved their ease,
they decided to afford relief and remedy
the trouble. If possible. For this reason
they consulted Itham Randolph, consulting
engineer of the Chicago Drainage canal,
who had acted on several occasions aa coit
sulting engineer for the park commission
ers. Mr. Randolph considered the eltual!ot,
and then proposed a remarkable plan, a
plan that ha excited great Interest at Ni
agara, lie suggested that the park commis
sioners erect a concrete column on the
shore of the river at the intake, and then
tip It over so as to form a dam The cont
mlssioners have acted on his advice and
the concrete column has been erected. It
is fifty feet high, and stands on a trestle
twenty feet high. It is square, seven feet
four Inches on each side. Through the cen
ter of It runs a grest heavy chain, the pur
pose of which is to hold the six blocks of
concrete together, when the column la
broken, as it falls, by wooden wedge
placed In one side about eight fet af4rt.
These wedges are twelve Inches thick on
the outside and taper to six Inches toward
the center of the column. The chain welgha
fully f"ri pounds, and it will tie strong
enough to hold the blocks against the cur
rent as the water is sucked over the grest
Foeesln fall, foi the site of the work le
only about 6o0 feet above the awful brink of
the precipice.
This wonderful concrete column was
built In a wooden frame, with scaffolding
around it at various stages as its height
grew. Its approximate weight Is about 30r
tons, but It Is planned to tip It easily by
means of Jacks that will work under tim
bers at the base of the' trestle. When It
falls it will drop a little up stream, and In
order that Ice may be floated off from tho
Intake In winter, an opening will be left
between the datn and the edge of the river.
Tiiis fciant column of concrete is now stand
ing like a monument on the edge of the
Horseshoe drying out. It will be a month
or so before It le dropped Into plaee fcg fetvej
