    Here are two beautiful costumes. The first is of coft mauve batiste with
embroideries of white floss silk wrought into a design whose Oriental decora
tiverees is in piquant contrast with the eminently Parisian contour of the
•J«'esE. The skirt points the way to an entirely new treatment of soft draper
ies, opening in front ever a panel of the embroidery falling almost to the hem
at the sides, and then curving high up at the back. There is no suggeston
cf fullness over the hips, whose outline is followed with glove-like closeness,
this faithful moulding being continued above the waist-line and dispensing
’(together with the conventional belt, while then on the ccrsage the embroid
ery figures effectively once more, and chemisette and undersleeves are cf
white embroidered muslin, tucked net and lace. The highest possible form of
*ne fashionable high collartard is a:scr.Lusted by a little tulle ruffling which
touches the ear.
The other dress is cf blue satin, the todice showing a most original ar
- .ngemer.t of filet lace and tucked chiffon, with a glint of gold in the chemis
t’te, while then there comes a waistcoat effect of blue chiffon, where tiny
outtors cluster, the soft folds of satin—which are, apparently held in place
at the sides by other and larger buttons—being in their turn eventually
caught in by 3 deep waist-bard of black satin, embroidered just in front with
Jriental blendings of gold and emerald green and rose. For the making of the
skirt the softly clinging satin would seem to have been just folded round the
perfect figure, the black falling in slightly draped handkerchief points a little
to one side.
EVENING FROCKS.
•'Evening frocks are growing very
gorgeous, although at present there
is scant opportunity for their wear.
.A'ouderful embroideries are being
.prepared to do them honor, and the
<<ugle and bead are being used for
choir decoration with considerable en
thusiasm. The most favored embroid
ries are in floss siik, much raised
•id in floral designs. But embrofdfery
^together grows daily in demand, and
no really elegant costume is complete
without its influence.
THE SEMI-SHORT WAIST.
We have heard and read a great
deal about the decided change in the
waist-line, but some of the leading
dressmakers of Paris are resolutely
adhering to the semi-short waist, and
| there examples are to be seen on
j every hand. The peculiar waist-line
j running up a little way nt the back,
I conveys the slightest possible impres
sion of an Empire gown. However,
the style is not in the least ‘ Empire’’
j although the impression remains to
tthat effect.
To be in fashion this season one must of course, possess a silk or satin hat,
or, preferably, one of each favored fabric. The first one of the trio displayed
n a typical and smart example of a satin hat, its cloche shape outwardly
covered in black, ar.d its brim lining showing a charming centrist of softest
blue or pink satin, while for trimming, it has a thick encircling ruche of
frayed-out silk, with just one great, full-blown pink rose set at the side.
Charming, is it not?
The middle display of millinery loveliness is of glace silk in one of its
prettiest forms. Its soft tapestry blue makes background for a trio of huge
rosettes in cleverly-contrasted shades of blue, purple, and green, a wide quill
being also deftly introduced as a finishing touch. The hat can, of course,
be'made in any Other desired colorings to tone with a particular costume.
As to that remaining hat, it is of a youthful and pretty simplicity of style
which make it well suited to a wearer still in “the teens," though “twenty-one”
is not, I fancy, likely to let her jur.icrs entirely monopolize its charms. It is
made in felt of any color, but looks wonderfully well in soft mole shadings
draped round with a wide fringed scarf of pale blue crepe de chine.
FASHION LETS
A leaden grey and deep plnky
niaave are the latest colors. AH shades
of yellow, flame, amber, etc., are In
vogue. ^
All strictly tailor-made costumes
have flat, mannish etmt-sleeves with
the tight-fitting jackets.
Very large velvet flowers and foll
ag» crown the new bats. Ivy and be
gonia leaves are most fashionable.
Tassels and hanging ornaments are
seen on all the new gowns.
White will be much worn this win
ter.
Concert cloaks are made of wool
back satin or pale-colored cloth
trimmed with tinsel embroideries.
Petticoats should harmonize with
the color of the costume.
lx>ng, loose coats are made with
three collars and hold revere, such as
-wo- see In norland’s pictures.
ttodioe pieces for square or round
sroke* are of ruby or green satin
>'evened with shaded and mixed silk
embroideries.
Colored gaiters are worn, and col
ored tope to the boots. *
Walking skirts' must just clear the
ground. Evening skirts are rather
long all round and particularly long
in front
Thick makes of Tussore silk will be
worn throughout the winter for din
ner and evening gowns. They look
well in pale pink, mauve, gray or Nat
tier blue. In fancy tartans they are
most effective, and make charming
children’s dresses.
The newest fur tie which is trying
to oust the boa is a straigtatjmnd of
fur bordered on either side with a
quiliing of satin ribbon, and tied on
i the left into a double bow with one
end. Extremely smart it looks worn on
the slim throat, but since for its best
exploitation it must be worn fastened,
it is apt to increase the outline rather
and should not be attempted by any
one on the road to the doable
Embroideries appear on cloth and
on velveteen and on crepe de chine
gowns, mostly in bold Egyptian de
signs, in colors of red aad -blue and
gold, cotton and silk hieing alike used
to form these embroideries, while tin
sel serves with discretion to further
embellish them.
By Rml to
. Havana- *
An eeean journey by rail! Who ever
heard of such a thing? Great heavy en
gines pulling long trains of heavy Pull
man coaches along the surface of the
water with the limitless expanse of
blue ocean stretching out on either
hand. Incredible as it may seem this
very thing will be possible by the first
cf next year; for the road being built
along the coral reefs of southern
Florida is nearing completion, and
when finished will enable one to get
within 115 miles of Havana by train,
and the rest of the distance to the
Cuban capital can bo covered by fast
steamer in six hours’ time. From a
comfortable seat in a parlor cm- the
traveler will be able to look cut on
one side across the rolling billows of
the Atlantic and on the other side
over the bluer waters of the Gulf of
Florida, the two commingling directly
beneatli the tracks which support his
train. The tracks themselves will be
invisible, of course, so he can enjoy
the novel sensation of going to sea
by train.
Here and there the voyager by !
ocean railway will cross diminutive
coral keys and at intervals he will i
traverse larger islets through groves ,
of tangled palms. He will be set down j
at length on Knight's Key, the south- j
ernmost point in the United States, j
reached by rail, and the temporary j
terminus of the only seafaring rail
road ever built. There he may step
aboard a fast steamer and in six hours
land in Havana, having traveled all
but 115 miles of the distance from
his starting point by train.
The effect, so far as the traveler is
concerned, will be the same as if a '
wonder-working genii should pick up !
ihe Pearl cf the Antilles and move it t
a hundred miles or more nearer to the I
United States. The journey to Cuba j
from New York or Chicago, or any
point in the eastern half of the coun
try, will be shortened in point of time
nearly one-third. Leaving New York
jn any wintry evening, the traveler
will be able on the second afternoon
to step ashore in the Cuban capital, j
having made the entire trip in less |
than 48 hours.
This will be made possible by the |
npening to traffic of a section of the
•railroad at sea" that has been push
ing out over land and water along the
thickly dotted line of coral islands
that curves from the Florida mainland
southwest to Key West. When work
was begun, about two years ago, ft
was announced that trains would be
running in three years, but so rapidly
has construction gone forward that
already more than two-thirds of the
distance has been covered, and the
line is almost ready to be opened for
more than 100 of the 154 miles of Its
projected length.
The building of this remarkable
ocean highway is regarded by Mr.
Flagler as the crowning achievement
of the great development that he has
been carrying on In Florida. Though
he has been engaged in other indus
trial enterprises, Mr. Flagler’s real
work—or, at least, that in which he
takes the keenest interest—has been
transforming the eastern half of Flor
ida from a barren waste of sand into
a thriving industrial section and the
winter playground of the country.
Though sometimes spoken of as a
hobby, his development of Ponce de
Leon’s land of perpetual youth has
been conducted as a business enter
prise pure and Bimple. The building
of the ocean railway was undertaken
with an eye to the growth in import
ance of Key West that is certain to
follow the completion of the Panama
canal, and to the steadily increasing
trafjic between the United States and
Cuba. At the same time the man who
is responsible for these great enter
prises. has devoted to them all the en
thusiasm that some men give to golf
or yachting or raising thoroughbreds.
According to Mr. Flagler himself,
the scheme of carrying his railroad
lino out across the coral Islands to
Key West and of conveying his trains
from there by rapid car ferries direct
ly to the Cuban capital first tool: tan
gible shape in his mind during the
Spanish-American w$u\ At that time
the certainty of closer political and
trade relations between this country
and Cuba became evident, as did the
commercial and strategic importance
of some means of quickly reaching the
island republic from the United States.
The dream grew in Mr. Flagler’s mina,
and he directed that a survey be made
by engineers to determine whether
such a road as he imagined could be
constructed. When the voluminous re
ports, estimates, drawings and blue
prints of the engineers were sub
mitted. Mr. Flagler glanced at them
hastily and turning to Mr. J. It. Par
rott. vice-president of his railway and
his right-hand man in all his Florida
undertakings, said:
"All I want to know is whether the
road can be built.”
"Yes, it can,” replied Mr. Parrott.
“Then go ahead and build it,” Mr.
Flagler directed.
That was in 1905. Since then the
dirt has been flying ceaselessly. Im
mense pile-drivers have been sinking
foundations, huge dredges have been
sucking up sand from the bottom of
the sea to construct a roadbed, and
an army of between 3,000 and 4,000
men has been pushing its way stead
ily southward from Miami out over
the waves and the tiny islands toward
Key West.
There was no precedent in the his
tory of railway construction for the
building of this sort of a road. Con
sequently the difficulties were many
and the problems to be solved un
usual. In the first place, it was nec
essary to assemble a veritable navy,
including steamboats, tugs, lighters,
hundreds of barges and bateaux,
launches, floating derricks, pumps,
pile drivers and repair shops, for
since this was to lie a railroad at sea,
seacraft had to be utilized chiefly in
its construction. The Florida key3
traversed by the line are mostly un
inhabited, and afforded neither shelter
nor support for the army of men em
ployed. ft was necessary to establish
camps, transport supplies, build hos
pitals for the sick and to establish
reading and club rooms in v*.iich the
workers could find relaxation from
the monotony of their isolated lives. In
some cases big houseboats or floating
dormitories were anchored in pro
tected spots to serve as living quar
ters. Even the drinking water must
be transported In huge tanks on
barges a distance of a hundred miles
or more.
At the northern end of the line the
route for a number of miles is on the
mainland and extends through the
borders of the Everglades. Here it
was impossible to use ordinary means
of land construction and barges were
employed. The water was so shallow,
however, that the heavy boats could
not be floated and canals had first to
be made for them. These canals ex
tend along either side of the railroad,
and through them the barges worked
their way, digging their own channels
as they moved along and throwing up
at one side the earth taken out, so a3
to form the roadbed. Further down,
where the railw-ay crosses to Key
Largo and begins its real career as an
ocean-going line, problems of another
sort presented themselves for solu
tion.
Although the road, from the nature
of its construction, is one of the most
expensive ever undertaken, costing
approximately $100,00(1 per mile, the
task of financing it is being borne en
tirely by the man who planned and is
building it. It represents an expendi
ture of between $15,000,000 and $20.
000,000 for the realization of an idea—
the linking together of Cuba and the
United States by the peaceful but
effective bond of the steel highway.
FIRE-PROOFED BY- WATER
"Did you ever see wood that
wouldn’t burn?” said the sailor.
“Oh, yes. There’s briar, pipe briar,
you know; and there’s ironwood, and
there's—”
But the sailor interrupted impa
tiently.
“No, no,” he said. “I mean ordi
nary wood, pine, this here.”
And. he drew from his pocket a
piece of ancient-looking pine. He ap
plied several matches to it, and, as
he predicted, the flame would not
consume, but only blackened it a lit
tle.
“This piece of pine,” he said, “has
a strang story. It was fireproofed by
water. It was part of a whaleboat in
the late '60s, and wunst, when a har
poon was stuck into a big whale, the
line fouled, the men all jumped for
their.lives, and the whale made a mad
plunge downwards, dreggin’ the boat
dawn behind it. Down, down’ it
weal; they thought it would never
come up again. It made u lot of these
terrible plunges and dives, then It
dashed off faster’n three Lusltanias;
but it died lu the end, and the whal
er's men got it, and they got back
their boat, too.
“The wood of the boat was all like
this here, bard as Iron. What had
hardened it was the pressure of the
water. Scientific codgers said the
whale must have carried the boat
down half a mile or more to change
the fiber of the wood like that.”
King Under Assumed Name.
Officers who at one time were in
close touch with King George of
Greece say that he used to compete
at Greek amateur athletic sports
under the assumed name of “George
Papadoulos,” and was always so suc
cessful that spectators and partici
pants began to suspect a masquerad
ing professional. The feeling once be
came so strong that an attempt was
mad* to mob the athletic monarch,
who, rendered helpless by numbers,
was obliged to reveal his identity to
the police and treat them to smuggle
LACE FOR WINDOW
CNE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE OF
DRAPERIES.
Filet Fanels Are the Latest, and Are
Very Popular—Other Materials
Liked by Up-to-Oate House
keepers.
Nothing in household decoration has
changed more during the past few
years than window draperies. For
simple rooms two hangings are enough
—the long, ihin curtains which hang
from the top of the casing to the bot
tom of the sash, and the heavy cur
tains which are hung over the thin
ones and drop just below the window
sill. For bedrooms, sash curtains are
sometimes necessary, and these are
fastened tightly against the window
from the middle to the bottom. Drap
eries that reach to the floor soon soil
and gather much dust.
Just at present there is nothing
prettier than filet lace panels for the
windows in the front of the house. It
Is also seen in some of the expensive
hotels. There is a delicacy about this
Italian lace that appeals to one at first
sight. In decorating a window one
must bear in mind that it is seen from
the street as well as from the room.
There are several ways of using this
Ctlrtaln. It may be stretched upon a
separate frame and set in the window
sash directly against the glass, or it
may be attached to a small brass rod
fastened to the top of the window and
allowed to har.g in straight lines just
below the window sill. In a house
whose windows are properly decorat
ed, the curtains of each floor should
have a resemblance. Real lace can be
used on the lower floor, and imitation
on the others. If, how'ever, panels are
used on the parlor floor, they should
also be at the other front windows.
Curtains need renewing oftener than
wall papers and much thought is need
ed in huyitag wisely. If sash curtains
last two or three years, they have
done good service. Buy material that
will launder well and that Is firmly
woven, as it will not shrink as much
as flimsy fabrics. Scrim is still popu
lar. and among other white material
are dimity, dotted swiss, net, madras,
and various other weaves. Among
the nets colonial and fish are attrac
tive. For heavy aud simple curtains
figured materials may be had In cre
tonnes, chintzes, linen, taffetas, Java
prints and Japanese cottons, making
a varied stock to choose from. For a
blue and white room Japanese cottons
are durable. India and Java prints
also hold their color. Figured cre
tonnes and chintzes are attractive,
with plain or striped paper, but where
the walls are covered with figured pa
per, plain denims, or linen taffetas are
best. China and raw silk also make
pretty curtains, especially yellow.
There are many valuable uses for
soda. Dampen soda and apply it to a
bite or sting of an insect. Flowers
will keep fresh longer if a pinch of
soda is put in the water. A weak so
lution of soda will revive the color
in a dusty carpet. A large teasi>oonful
of sal-soda will bleach a kettleful of
white clothes. Sal-soda is also good
for the sink if dissolved in boiling
water. When using old glass fruit
jars wash they with soda wrater and
rinse well In order to sweeten them.
A teaspoonful of soda added to the
water in which silver is washed will
help to brighten it.
Chopped pecan nuts, almonds and
pine nuts may be sprinkled over let
tuce for a dinner salad.
Lemon Drops.
These are made of granulated sug
ar, finest quality. Put three and one
half ounces sugar and a teaspoonful
water in a small saucepan, add one
half teaspoonful acetic acid and stand
over the fire. When the mixture be
gins to meK stir two or three minutes
with a.wooden paddle, then take from
the fire. Have ready oiled paper, take
the saucepan in the left hand and pour
the candy out in drops about the size
of large peas on to the paper. When
the drops are firm and cold moisten
a paste brush in warm water and
brush the under side of the paper.
This loosens the drops so that they
can be removed with a limber knife.
When quite dry put into glass bottles
to keep them from attracting moist
ure.
Pear Conserve.
V ' -.
One-fourth peck green pears, two
large oranges, three lemons, four
pounds sugar, two ounces green
ginger root, one-fourth cup water.
Peel, quarter, and core one-fourth peck
hard green pears, dropping same in
cold water as prepared in order to
prevent turning color. Drain and put
through food chopper. Cook till ten
der in one-fourth cup water the grated
rind (the yellow only) of three
lemons. Serape the gray coating from
two ounces green ginger root and cut
up the root in food chopper. Combine
all with four pounds granulated
sugar, the juice of two oranges and
three lemons, and cook for two and
one-half hours. This quantity wilt fill
12 jelly glasses.
Cream Cheese Combinations.
Other favorite combinations with
cream cheese are caraway, minced
olives, chives and pepper, or cream
cheese mixed with cream, molded in
small cups turned on a lettuce leaf
with a spoonful of Bar-le-duc or goose
berry jam, laid in a depression at the
top. Another nutritious and tasty
salad is made from two cupfuls cot
tage cheese mixed with two dozeu
chopped stuffed olives and moistened
with enough boiled dressing to permit
of its being molded. Make Into balls
with butter paddles and serve on let
tuce leaves.
Hose Supporters.
Cut off the legs of stockings that
the feet are past doing anything with,
measure stockings you are wearing
from waist down to top of stocking.
Split cutoff leg down, sew it firmly to
top of stocking, by machine is best,
then fasten about the waist with safe
ty pins back and front. They are
comfortable and no coming down or
getting out of order.
Cocoa Pie*.

“Eternal vigilance is the price of
perennial bloom,” declares the April
grandmother, whose abundant tresses,
smooth skin and graceful figure are
the envy of her contemporaries. “All
beauty is fleeting, but the hair, wom
an’s crowning glory, is as easy to kill
as a reputation, and, once lost, as rare
ly recovered. At least once a month
the hair should be thoroughly sham
pooed with castile soap and daily
brushed patiently, but not so roughly
as to tear the scalp, and ventilated by
taking out the hairpins, shaking and
running the fingers through the locks.
This will be a good opportunity to
massage as well as loosen the scalp
skin by imparting circulation to it, for
lack of circulation is one of the chief
causes of hair falling and turning
gray. About the brow, behind the
ears and at the nape of the neck, where
the hair has been scorched with curl
ing irons or tortured with 'waving
kids' lose no time in treating its roots
with olive oil or red vaseline applied
with a fine brush, and before many
weeks a downy bang will begin to
sprout along the hair line.
“Roughing the hair is positively j
criminal and doing it up tightly at
night most injurious, for that irri-j
iates the scalp, causing the hairs to
crinkle and finally fall. The better
way is to loosely tic the hair back
from the face with a wide ribbon so
'hat if may then grow in the natural
lirection.
“No matter how sincerely a girl I
may admire the blonde, auburn or
chestnut locks of some schoolmate, ;
she would better not be tempted into
experimenting with ammonia, henna
ir wmlnut dye, for the coloring matter ;
if the hair is affected differently in in- !
lividual cases. Even the so-called
harmless' peroxide has been known to
urn brown hair white instead of the
mticipated golden. Moreover, the
color of a girl's hair usually accords
perfectly with her complexion. Nature
rarely blunders in tint blending.
“Because your eyebrows ofTend you
io not pluck them out with tweezers.
I'hat method will quicken the circu
ation of the cuticle beneath the hairs
ind make them grow thicker. Instead,
irain them to look less heavy by
irushing them as nearly together as
lossiblo. If they are scant treat them
lightly with red vaseline and brush
;hem as regularly as you do your
lair.
“Regard the loss of a tooth as a
dire calamity, especially a wisdom
molar, for they hold up the jaws and
preserve the contour of the face,
which, once lost, can never be per
fectly restored by either dentistry or
massage. If one tooth be lacking that
side of the face will have a twisted
appearance, so, whether or not a tooth
grumbles warning of aches to come,
visit a first class dentist regularly at
least si5 times a year and beg him to
search for hidden cavities. Brushing
the teeth should be considered the
first duty of the morning, the last one
at night, and immediately after every
meal, if possible, and every day dental
floss should be worked between them.
Use only the best pastes and powders
to whiten the teeth, and turn a deaf
ear to those people who chant the
praises of powdered pumice and lemon
juice. Both will make the teeth glis
ten, but they will also destroy tho
c-namel.
“A golden complexion rule for the
young girl is 'Avoid all cosmetics.’ Re
member also that ‘Cleanliness is next
to godliness’ and that if the face be
kppt perfectly clean* blackheads will
never disfigure it. They are merely
infinitesimal dust particles, and by .
daily lathering the features with pure
soap upon a camel's hair scrubbing
brush or a towel no foreign matter
can obtain lodgment in the skin. To
keep the cuticle soft, fine and white,
mb it with white commeal directly
after bathing. This is the cheapest
and most efficient ounce of prevention
known to southern women, famous for
their smooth faces, for it costs only
four cents a pound.
“Candy and soda water ruin the
stomach, and when the stomach is
diseased tho complexion is wrecked.
It is not necessary to feed upon grass,
as did Nebuchadnezzar, nor upon
busks, in imitation of the Prodigal
Sen, but eat something green daily,
such as lettuce, spinach and celery.
Drink water whenever you are athirst
and before noon coffee and tea un
mixed with milk, but carefully avoid
all beverages that make you wakeful,
for wakefulness is beauty's chief
enemy. But whether or not you sleep
soundly at night, preserve your pink
cheeks and lips by rising early and
taking a brisk walk or ride before
breakfast, even if a light rain be fall
ing, for dampness is nature’s com
plexion cosmetic.—X. Y. Herald.

Thief Plays.
Whence the erase for thief plays?
Is it a morbid kind of curiosity, or tho
result of our eccentric civilization,
with its strange and violent contrasts?
—Lady Violet Greville, in London Ga
zette.
Demi-Empire Skirts.
So many smart skirts continue to
show demi-empire lines that one can
not dispel the thought that these early
period modes are here to stay tor the
winter at least. Quite charming is a
custome in coral face cloth with a
plain skirt of demi-empire form, fin
ished at the treat with four rows of
stitching. All the seams of the coat
and around the edge are 1. d with
fancy silk braid. But the chic of the
costume, as is often the case, resides
in the waistcoat, which is of fine white
cloth, striped with pale pink, black
and mauve to form little diamond
shaped designs.
The Trained Skirt.
While the short skirt Is holding
sway in suitdom, the long trained
model returns again to the ranks of
dressy costumes. French models
are, of course, always long, regard
less of fashions in America or any
where in the world, .or that matter.
At last our own designers have brand
ed the,walking length skirt in coe
tamc: as demode this winter.- »
Lavender Sachets.
The new lavender sachets, which
serve not only to diffuse perfume but
are also preventive of moths, are in
the form df small cushions, inclosed in
sateen or quilted satin covers, and are
made in several sizes. Each size is
inclosed in a tinfoil envelope, so that
they may travel any distance and re
main in a perfectly fresh condition.
They are further packed in neat card
board boxes or in leatherette or wood
en cases, with spare spaces for hand
kerchiefs.
For the School Girl.
Indistinct plaids and soft-toned
worsteds are much in demand for trig
little suits for school.
For school wear there could lie
nothing more attractive.
The separate guimpe being changed
as frequently as desired keeps til®
frock looking fresh.
