NEW YORK. July 8. 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.

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

bis cotton runs over it, but nothing could

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.

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.

The office of postmaster In Hohnrt, Ind.,

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

for years at various places in Europe, es

culture has been carried on for about 600
years. Her project has attracted the atten

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.
