The reason of the new fangied fem inine fancy known an the Kus ;ian blouse was discovered by a Washing ton Star reporter on a trip from Jersey City to Washington a few nights ago. The train had just begun to move out of the Jersey City station when a young woman, rather cf the '‘new" or der. swung herself aboard. She was almost breathless from hurrying, and, unlike the majority of her sex, was sin gularly unhampered by luggage. A neatly rolled umbrella and a jatket were all the traveling gear site carried. The young woman occupied a section by herself, and It was apparent that she contemplated retiring, for she re quested the porter, with every indica tion of weariness, to make up her berth with all possible haste. Yet was the •eperrter mildly curious to observe that the young woman had no grip in which it is usual to carry toilet conveniences. He wondered if she contemplated ly ing down in an Immaculate tailor made skirt and a fashionable Russian blouse. As the making up of the berth neared completion the young woman rose and proceeded to the lavatory. Ev ery one in the car looked at her, for she was exceedingly handsome and pos sessed a trim little figure. Pretty scon she returned to her section and the re porter marveled more than ever, tlhe was arrayed in a black India silk neg lige, and she carried her blouse over her arm. Several observing women ex changed wondering glances, for they, too, had noticed the absence of all lug gage. and were puzzled at the transfor ma'ion. i bis fascinating traveler was the object of general attention next morning as tbe train rolled into Wash ington. The young woman sat calmly in her section, rolling into the small est and tightest bundle possible the India silk garment. This completed, she closed a folding comb, put a tooth brush into an oil silk cover, and with a dexterous movement from under neath, which looked like the stretch ing of an elastic band, the young wom an slipped neglige, comb and tooth brush Into her Russian blouse. A hand kerchief and veil soon followed, and lol tbe traveler suggested one of our west end giris arrayed for a morning stroll on F street, without a suggestive sign of having passed the night on a i .. 1.. .. i' 1 ■ BEETS AS LARGE AS YOUR ARM.
