Who art the people who make the fashions? It a question often iskf-d. the uninitiated evidently bellevlnc that the fabrlquors of moil en rompoie a society whose laws are aa exacting aa thoFc of the Medes and Persians. Never wa a fallacy greater than thta, for If tae manu facturers propose, It la the Individual who Slsposes and settles whether It shall or ball not be worn. She It la. this gracious arbiter In the art of dreaa, who elects fur Bat hata, dinning skirts or big or little leeves, and the aura of distinction she lives them starts the ball at once rolling. In Parla It la the smart women of society ind the stage who really make the fashions, shooslDg from the many models submitted to them only those which suit their par ticular type. In this way news cornea to us from thla city that a certain great woman something like a feat In gymnastics. To the dull-pated byatander the feat Is Just a grab with both hands. But there's a trick In It, all the same, and by these algns you may know the true woman of fa.hlon. The property hoisted skirt falls with meat of the folds bunched by the right hand; the left holds Just a pinch of Jupe, so to speak, hut It Is enough to make locomotion possi ble and create a "swimming" and piquant effect. The drop-skirt Is cut to escape the ground all round, which, with the thin nest materials, makes a silk dusi flounce necessary for the outside one. Thia Is commonly pinked at the bottom edge and put on with a cord where the skirt trim ming begins where the graduated flounce tarts or Is suggested. Delightful hats for these thin wool gowns are flat shapes made of ribbon straw, tha most fragile atraw ever seen, and about the width of No. 7 ribbon. Plain parasols of black or white silk are carried with tan dresses, yokes, vests and undersleeves of white invariably relieving or colored fleur de lis. diamonds or small dots, while the embroideries of the colored lockings are usually black. Sensible country headgear for wee girlies re the shirred lawn hata and lawn and gingham eunbonnets now to be found everywhere. They are cheap and cool, stylish and practical, the white ones laun dering like handkerchiefs. MART DEAN. OSTEND YACHTING SUITS. rf pale, dark beauty chooses the old-time hunting as a yachting material and white tnd red by way of color combination. Two rachtlng gowns worn by thla woman at Jstend are here illustrated, the red in each tase being the light, flaming scarlet de scribed last week. Made entirely ot bunting la this startling KIor, bias banda of white taffeta silk iffectlvely trim the costume at the left, the skirt la an unllned bell-shape hung ver a silk drop skirt In the same color sith a border and tunic suggestion of the ends. This simulated oversklrt is made fasten at the left front with two large Shite pearl buttons, the band looping rround them In scallops. . The bodice, which jporta and 'elaborate round collar of the tuntlng and silk. Is covered with up-and-lown strips of the white. Pastillion tails Riggest a Jacket at the back, and upon the It rap fastening these to the white taffeta elt there are two smaller pearl buttons. Phe bell sleeves likewise show these orna nents and open over undersleeves of white null, puffed Into wristbands of the bunting. Stylish, Heaulwear. A white chip hat, with a rolling brim tnd trimmings of red velvet ribbon, Is the stylish headpiece, for the dressiest mll Inery may now tempt the kisses of sea ireeses. The yachting girl who really loves !he comfort of something "staying where I Is put" for brim bau are the sport of very blast still clings to the spug cap k cloth or serge with vlsored front, which I single hatpin attaches almost as solidly is her own hair. But trimmed hats are actng hard with them for favor, and In itead of the rubber-soled ranvaa shoes, nee exacted, yachting footgear Is now as mart as smart. Patent and dull leather ihoes, with the colonial tongue and buckle, ire much seen, or else the shoes are cut tery low and tied with broad black ribbons ind upon tha most slippery decks even high leeled strap-slippers are worn. For slip pers are the fashion, you know, and one tee them everywhere, with morning and tfternoon gowns, on tho board walk, In ferriages, partout. As to under toggery, tell It not upon the tousetops, but tho yachting girl wears llooraers. They are made of the Fame silk is the drop-skirt which lines her outer lupe no skirt linings are attached nowa lays very baggy over the knees and fast ening below with a rubber band. The itocklngs are in the same color, and when !ba wind blows the fair being thus equipped Us no fear of consequences. There are no Kintrasts to arrest the roving eye of the bserver. The second gown of the yachting picture of white bunting with red taffeta silk or trimming. The pleats of the upper portion of the skirt are stitched with red illk, a single row of this outlining the Mods of the flounces and the pleats anl llaetroo of the blouse. Many of the thin wool gowns, especially hose In black, are trimmed with a new lull silk which bas something of the lock t percallne. The shadowy gralninq of bis cotton runs over it, but nothing could is more delicate than the quail y of the Ilk, which in aome cases is almost gauie Ute. The Saratoga Wonder. With highly decorative effect, svrh a ma rial ornaments the third gown, a prome lade costume of amber veiling lately seen it Saratoga. The skirt is In one of th tew flouncing models, all of which are In vnvenlently long aa the front and sides nd the. correct lifting of which necessitates the gown Itself. In truth, scarcely a summer frock Is seen without a touch of white, and no ward robe is complete without an all-white gown of some sort. The white tailor suits the shops are selling Just now are not' only great bargains, but feats of style. The. most desirable models are made of wiry wool materials, "granite gauses," as they are sometimes called. These fall sheerly over silk linings, the yellowish tinge con trasting well with the whiter taffetas with which they are trimmed. Children's Wear. Coming to the fourth picture one feels that a little sermon on tbe subject of children's wear will not come amiss. To begin, modish toggery for the small fry of both sexes Is odiously dear, and to con elude, the French garments are detestably "finicky." For tbe properly rigged child (so considered) must now be dressed In French clothes and nothing else. Where fore, little miss's aunday-go-to-meetings give her something of the look of a wax doll from the Bon ilarehe. Her hats, made of net and point d'eaprit the puffed brims veiling wreaths of huge roses are as big as a bushel basket. Strings as wide as sashes, and as long aa her skirt, (which, to speak truly, is rather short these days). In sure her poor, small ears a certainty of warmth and lent she should be too com fortable, she Is provided with elaborate little costs of lace and silk, miniature 11k nesses of her mamma's loose, short summer Jackets. Some of her bats may even be made of tbe fashionable crln (horse-hair braid) and these are burdened with ostrich feathers Just like those of the grown-ups. Altogether she Is an enfant terrible, the fashionable small girl, and her millinery bills are woeful. ' Twenty-five dollars Is no uncommon price for a headpiece for a 6-year-od and a pleated dress In pink French linen, with a modicum ot coarse lace on the cape collar will call for $22. Oh, for tbe days of pud dles and mud-plea, for, of course, all this splendor means sitting up straight and minding your p's and q's. However, It's an 111 wind that blows bo body any good, and tbe French models have their uses; Modified in style and made In simpler materials, the big shops show somo of the same effects at fairly decent prices. Nobody can explain the reason, but children's clothes are alwaya dearer in proportion than adnlt garments. The cut pictured Illustrates some of the most sensible and Inexpensive styles for both boys and girls. The two little dresses at. the right of the drawing are of mercer ized linen with white Hamburg embroid eries. They sre made in the popular Rus sian model, which calls for a very long walsted blouse bodice and a skirt so short that It is scarcely more than a flounce. Similar suite for boys in dresses are almost all body, masculinity calling for extra ab breviation of skirt. White dimity, a delightful summer ma terial, and lawn embroideries compose the frocks of the smaller maidena. and the bashful bey wears a Russian suit of brown and tan striped linen. Go to the depart ment stores for all these. ith all dreesy frock girls up to T wear strsp slippers of kid in the color of the gown, tbe socks or stockings matching. Or else tbe slippers are of black silk, but kid shoes In white or pale colors are cooler than these and mere childish In effect. If solid color stockings are not liked there are some wonderful leg coverings with em- brlodered flgurea that are even more styl ish. On a black ground these show white THE GRKES-Et ED MOXSTER. Pointing- Oat the (letter Path for the Jealons Married One, Now and then one turns from the wilder ness of new books recollection of which seems like pasalng through those dead for ests one sometimes meets In mountain travel, all of one gray sameness to some of the old books out of fashion for no rea son. If, among these old books, one takes up that marvel of artistry, "Bleak House," one comes in certain chapters upon a pre sentation of one of the great shadows of married life depicted faithfully as the sun himself paints. It is where Mrs. Snsgsby her head In a perfect beehive of curl-papers and nightcap makes nocturnal examina tion of Mr. Snagsby's pockets, secret pe rusals of his letters, private researches Into his books and ledgers; snd by day, swift and dark and silent and wretched, watches at window, listens behind doors, and gets her mind Into a wide mist where no one could see the way to anywhere In a "gen eral putting of this and that together by the wrong end." And Mrs. Snagsby stands for every Jealous wife the world over though she be little and Ignorant and ill bred and obscure In cottage or in palace, who makes her husband miserable by her suspicions and contributes to the breaking of her own heart by searching for what she does not wish to find. Once let this evil-eyed power get posses sion of the mind, and every fact of lire and of the universe twists Itself round to Its support, all the same as If one were pos sessed by a madness. For It Is a madness before which one is helpless, and from which one longs to be delivered as one longs to wske from a half-conscious night mare. To doubt the man who swore faithfulness to you alone of all women, and whom you have honored as you have Idolized, to doubt tbe woman who boa seemed a creature of white innocence It puts the world out of Joint and all the rest of creation in as false a light. The earth revolves on a new axis, the heavens have another pole, and the light has gone out of them; there is left only the lurid green light that trans forms all things Into unseemliness with its evil glow. How much better would It be at the first suggestion of doubt to face It and defy it, to declare to one's self, "The man I love ia too noble for this," or "The woman I love Is too spotless to be sullied with such thought," to trust, to refuse entrance to the base suspicion, and to go one' way con tentedly. Even If there is doubt, one fs not going to be any happier for making snre. One would be wretched if one found tbe In criminating letter In his pocket, in her (desk then why search? Why not take the goods the gods provide and not Insult hap piness by a question? - But if there come Incidents that, all be yond your own agency, turn doubt into as surance, the fact is not annihilated by out bursts, by accusation, by gloom or ,by moroseness. Remember the person of whom Michlet speaks, who, when he saw his wife too strongly attracted by a dark eyed young Gascon, took her on a trip to Gascony, where that especial dark-eyed young Gascon was lost In the multitude of dark-eyed young Gascons there. Remem ber, In one of Bulwer's stories, the man who, when Tils wife was pleased with a bunch of rare flowers sent ber by an In truder, simply and smilingly filled her whole balcony with banks of them. The time of suspicion is the time for tho husband not to be sullen and watchful, not to be stormy snd Imperious, but to redouble his attentions, and by his devotion to ob scure the thought of the temporary and casual Intrusion on his province; it is the time for the wife to make herself more lovely, more sunny and sweet-tempered. more rich and gay on occasion, to point the contrast betwen innocence and guilt, to exert her every charm, and eclipse the rushlight by the steady shining of the hearth fire. And In tbe meantime a woman should reflect that, in marrying her, a man does not shut his eyes on the rest of the world, and that although he has chosen her for time and eternity, yet not being blind or insensible, be must see that other women are not without attraction; and it should be enough for her that he has chosen her for time and eternity; and a man should say to himself that it has been his fortune to be exalted by his wife's choice above all others, but he does not compass In himself the whole of knowledge or power, and he did not marry her to distrust her or to shut her up in a harem or to condemn her to life on a desert Island. And If they meet the accidents and events of life in this spirit of confidence and proud and trustful affection, it Is tolerably sure thst neither will sfford the green-eyed monster any hospitality. HARRIET P. 8POFFORD. Is an ordeal which all women approach with indescribable fear, for nothing compares with the pain and horror of child-birth.

IJM Br adfteld LtuuUur Co.. Atlanta, Ce. DANCERS OF COLLEGE GIRLS. First Year ot Life In aa Institution Is tha Teat of Character. Catherine Lee Bates, professor of English literature at Wellesley, the famous women's college, has been writing of the college g!rl of the period, and her experience among the class qualifies her to write understanding. It is Miss Bates' opinion that the freshman year is the danger year. Health may be so Impaired thst the student Is sent home, there to be most erroneously pointed out as tne victim of overstudy. Conditions may be Incurred that will hamper all the subsequent course of the overworrled, ever-shamefaced g:rl, who must take time and strength from the work of her sophomore year to make good her freshman failures, and heace incures now conditions In the new subjects, drsgglng "st each remove a lengthening chain." A misconducted freshman year, too, may fix a reputation tor fllghtiness, loud manners or the like upon one who, when the first Intoxication of her liberty has passel, could have lived up to a good name, but Is led by pride and pique, as she sees the better elements in the student world with drawing from her, to cast In her lot with the wildest and most featherbrained com panionship of the place. This Is the dark side ot the picture. Many freshmen have been prepared by Judicious training at home or In school for undertsklng tbe direction of their dally Uvea. Others are quick to profit by the hints of comrades or by their own observa tion. Required lectures on hygiene, fre quent tests In classwork, fortunate frlefd shlps often counteract the perils of Inex perience. And the student who comes suc cessfully through her freshman year has all the chances in her fsvor for a glad and honorable college course. She haa learned that freedom lies within the circle of law, not without' it. The typical college girl before her sopho more year Is over has her own affairs In band and brings a fund of superfluous energy to the business of the commonwesl. The executive ability developed in American college life ia a continual surprise to the onlooker. To the timid entering student many things within the next four years' device will serve your own stockings as well as those of the little onee. Could your great grandmother look down upon you she would give you her smiling sp provsl ot this revival of one of tbe old time lost arts. For and Ahoat Women. Mrs. Phoebe Hearst has given a consid erable sum to be used for Improvements at Lick observatory. Mrs. Timothy B. Blackstone has given a cltv library to Chicago In memory of her late husband. The cornerstone has Just been In Id and the building will be com pleted In a year. The office of postmaster In Hohnrt, Ind., hns been held for four years by Miss Jen nie Spray. Recently, when some politicians put up a male candidate to replace her the town rose in protest and a large delegation secured Miss Spray's reappointment. Harriet Beecher fitowe's th birthday wss celebrated by negro residents of San Francisco In the old church on Stockton street from the very pulpit where the patriot, Thomas Starr King, preached forty years ago to hold California within the union and against the extension of slavery. Miss 8. E. Kay has been in domestic service for some twenty years In a Michi gan t wn, but her so-cslled "menial posi tion" had not dwarfed her mind, snd she wrote the prise essay on "The Problem of Pomestic Help," read before the Twentieth Century club of Kalamasoo, made up of the most cultured women of the town. There Is only one woman chaplain In the Vnlted States and It Is doubtful If there Is a woman filling a similar position in any other part of the world. The penitentiary In Iaramle, Wyo., haa this unique distinc tion. Its chaplain is Mrs. May Preston THE ALL-CONQUERING RUSSIAN BLOUSE. become possible. She may be found running a magazine, dealing shrewdly with printer and advertiser, reading proof, writing Items, leaders, reviews. She may practice a wide range of activities on class com mittees, from conducting a campaign In undergraduate politics to planning and carrying through tbe social functions of gala days, where guests are numbered by hundreds or by thousands. Tbe athletto association may trust her with grave responsibilities in the selection and laying out of golf grounds or in arranging for an Intercollegiate tournament. If her Greek letter society is building Its chapter bouse it may fall to her lot to confer with archi tect a and decorators, buy rugs, divans and other furnishings or engineer the finance of the whole enterprise. The sense ot dis tance between senior and freshman is not altogether fictitious. On tbe practical side of life, alone the four years csnnot count tor more than arithmetic confesses. Women's colleges have faculties dis gruntled In proportion as they find their occupation gone. They are no longer asked, In most Instances, to make and to administer rules for student conduct. The students are self-organized into a self directing and self-dlsclplinlng body. The faculties are obviously out of place In this projected dreamland of youth and mirth and beauty. Hence they are prone to com plain that what with undergraduate busi ness and what with undergraduate pastime there is no room left in college for the Intellectual life. How do these hurried and preoccupied girls, with festal muslo tinkling in their heads, have opportunity to behold "the bright countenances of truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies?" HAKI0 STOCKINGS WEAR WELL. Take that Much Neglected Stitch In Tine. Children's stockings are an expensive Item of dress, so that any plan which will make them last Is welcomed by the eco nomical mother. First of all, be willing to save money in the "long run" by spend ing it generously at the outeet. Mark them well with the child's monogram. These ini tials can be had In any combination of two letters at the department stores. By offer ing her some slight Incentive tbe dear little owner may generally be Induced to sew them neatly upon her own stockings. Before beginning your "stitch In time," which Is the most worthy and usually neglected of all housewifely arts, array yourself in your most attractive and rest ful house gown. Place your pretty work basket beelde you. Be sure you have silver bsndled scissors and everything dainty to tempt you often to sew. Put on your aris tocratic gold thimble, for any woman can take finer, prettier stitches when wearing a pure gold thimble. Now take the bUOid little stocking (and it Is blesaed, for It will not be long your privilege to darn little stockings, so fast do tbe baby feet stretch out), turn it wrong side out and place it upon tbe darning gourd. Run the heels and toes up and down with' good ball darning cotton. Be sure to take a long stitch and then a tiny stitch, putting the stitches side by side. Reinforced In this way the heels will withstand many months of hard wear ing and washing. And it might not be out of place, good mother, to remark that If you have many steps to take the same Slosson, wife of the vice president of the faculty of the University of Wyoming, and for over two years she has presided over the spiritual welfare of the convicts. Mme. Nordtca, the opera singer, la mis tress of the ungentle art of punching a bag. This is a dally exercise with her, as she considers that It gives opportunity for all necessary muscular training and sub jection of adipose tissue. The punching bag Is a compromise. She desired to learn boxing, but it waa pointed out to her that an accidental blow on the neck or chest, even with soft gloves, might wreck her vocal career. 4 Misa Henrietta Aiken Kelly of Charleston has gone into silk culture at her South Carolina home. She has studied silkworms for years at various places in Europe, es pecially on the estate of the due de Lltta Vlsconti-Arese at Milan, Italy, where silk culture has been carried on for about 600 years. Her project has attracted the atten tion of the national Department of Agri culture, for which Miss Kelly will prepare a manual for public distribution. Miss Alice Robertson has passed success fully through the ordeal of her public ex amination for the degree of doctor of phi losophy from the University of California. Miss Robertson Is the third woman to re celve from the University of California its highest academic distinction. The first woman to make a doctor of philosophy at Berkeley waa Miss Mllllcent Shlnn. upon whom the degTee was conferred In 189. The second waa Miss Jessica Pelxotto, who wss given the honor In 1900 Fifteen men have obtained the degree. Frills of Fashion. Linens of every description are In good taste.

Many of the gowns prepared for after noon wear are In black and white suk or French muslin. Gray and white striped psrasols hsve a band of green around the lower edge and are mounted upon green sticks. Smart long chains in gun metal for women have three Inches or more of chain and at Intervals large round beads ot the metal. White muslin bands for the neck and aleeves have each a row of black fagoting in the center. The bands are not much more than two wide hems. Joined with the black stitches. A big scoop hst of white chiffon has tha edge of the scoop outlined with forget-me-nots. The buck of the hat is fin ished with cream lace. It takes a special trip around to get a back view. The width of many of the newest coach ing and garden party hats is remarkable, and the fashion of putting a wreath ot large full-blown roses and foliage at the extreme edge of tha brim on the front of the hat is still greatly favored. Holland dresses more or less tinted are mitch used for ueach and mountain cos tumes. The skirts are strapped and the Jackets finished with blouse vests of while Indian silk, fag ot-s niched in black, or dotted with black French knots. , The pongee corsets rival the white net styles in favor for summer wesr. The French corset of pongee Is light, cool and graceful in outline. Silk corset-lacings should always be used, even on coutllle or Jean corsets.

One of the new summer skirt models de signed for veiling, muslin, etamlne snd other soft dalicata goods is a flaring, five gored style with applied folds, in tucked effect, reaching almost the entire length of the skirt, although any destrod number may be used. These folds are not perpen dicular, but honsontal. and. If preferred, the back can be arranged In gathers or an Inverted box-pleat. Sometimes the folds are like the skirt fabric The Smart Styles.

The trunk ,llne of the Union Pacific passes across the State of Nebraska, and It Is a valuable property. The figures presented show that It pays taxes amounting to $473.22 per mile In the State of Nebraska, and through the pay ment of this amount of tax in this state, it made the average 'tax per mile $262.79 on tbe whole line of road In the year 1900. The Inter-State Commerce Commission reports show that the average tax paid by railroads in Nsbraska was $198.86 and the average west of tbe Mississippi was but $171. 45. These figures show that in Nebraska the Union Pacific Railroad pays much more tax than the average railroad pays, and It pays much ' more proportionate taxes than It should pay. The tonnage given the Union Pacific In 1900 amounted to 648.206 tons of freight for each mile of railroad, and for purposes ot comparison, we will com pere with the Pennsylvania railroad system, the greatest freight carrying rail road system In the world a system of roads that handled In 1900, 8,250,687 tons of freight for each mile of road (nearly six times the tonnage of the Union Pacific). The wildest western boomer would not compare the Union Pacific with the Pennsylvania system of railroads. The Pennsylvania railroad system reports net earnings of $30,440,621.19 In 1900, while the Union Pacific earned but $9,071, 606.79, and still this great system of railroads running through the Ststes of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, paid but $307.49 tax per mile in 1900.
