There Is no comparison between tha ef
fect of a gown .trimmed with , hand lucks
or pleats and one machine sewed. Just a
touch -of real lace-also -will-mIke-- far
handsomer 'costume than yards "of Imlta-'
tion lace or embroidery. Among the ready-to-wear
garments In tha. shops there are,
nf course, many marvelously effective
gowns well worth tha buying, even thougii
machine sewed, but the woman who makes
or deslgna her own simple gowns will do
well to expend the small extra time neces
sary In hand trimming. Naturally tha
seams and all stitching that will not show
is firmer done by machine, but that Is all.
A particularly fetching frock la shown
In the illustration. This Is a combination
of gray figured foulard and garnet messa
llne. Tha mescaline matched In color the
small figure in the foulard '. A touch of
black velvet ribbon added a not of char
acter to the waist. The tunic of this frock
presents what has become the favored
outline of the season. It will .be remembered
that last year's tunh s were most popular
When made with a point on each side. The
shaping on the model here illustrated has
supplanted this former atyle and bids-fair
to outrank it In popularity) v
For young girla the -flowered organdies
and mulls now offered make delightfully
pretty afternoon and evening frocks. A
dainty lace-edged fichu about the neck, a
velvet girdle with bow. and .streamers of
laoe or net with on of tha season a models
of a short round skirt and ft would be 1m
posHlbla to find a more charming gown. A
net gulmpa made on a fitted piece of mous-et-llne
de sole or sheerest lawn will render
the one gown possible for either afternoon
or evening. There are, of course, always
an Infinite variety ot designs and pat
ters from which to select In the flowered
organdies. Small wreath designs are pretty,
and there are some cherry patterns that are
exquisite. Blue roaes are offered as usual,
but If blue Is desired It is well to choose
some hydrangea or else forget-me-not pat
tern, for blue roses are too Incongruous
to- be artistic.
In tha flowered materiala there are many
striped and gauxe effects that make up at
tractively, the stripe being In the weave
and of the same shades aa the background.

Road of Yesterday

A big road circles round tbe world, sure
fine It la and gay.
But the little boreen of my heart runs lone
and far away;
'Tie winding over weary seas with many

But, oh. of all the roads I know it Is the
sweetest yet.
By common ways and common graces and
common homes It goes;
But. oh. Its beauty no one but the soul
within me knows,
Its dawns are drenched with .dews from
heaven. Its nignts are tearful sweet.
And oin:tmies One long crucified walks
there to guide my fset. .
It leads me down by purple bills where
fairies sport of nights.
It shows ma many a hawthorn lane, the
scene of dead delights;
It clothes again with living grace the faces
laid away
Baneaih the -cold of gras and mold, my
road of yesterday.
Oh, twiltt boreen of mv heart, the. world
is vague and vast.
But you are holy with the balm ot all my
hallowed past;
You thrill me with the touch of haoda
my handa were wont to hold.

opposition to the wishes of their parentr.
not more than five divorces have been

parent-made matches is very much larger.
I feel sure that If parents would be more

In so Important a matter we would have

Harrison Burroughs, known throughout the

He has married upward of 000 couples
and hla feea from marriages are said to
have amounted to more than $30,000.

they please. At one time alx couplea were
married by Dr. Burroughs at a alngle cere

ministers, and some have said that he has
a "corner" on the marriage business Cou

He Is T8 years old and his hair Is white.

For the press to be.

I am the voico of the people!

It is my duty to proclaim.
If fame, to let the glory

And by it be encouraged
To loftier heights to grow.
If shame, to let its sinning
Be known that all may know
And make a common effort
Against a common foe
That's me,

be stretching s point or the necktie to
say that her happinees hangs on her hus

she sees deep Into the psychology of thst

manifestation of a certain rebellion against

You can count upon one thing. Aa evi
dence of bad taste in clothes, whether It
be in the horrible shape or terrible plaids
or nameless aw fulness in scarfs, is a sign
of something positive In a man's nature,
something that defies any control but his
own. And a girl Is thrice foolish when she

History of Transportation
.Contlnu,ed Krom Yesterday.)
First Railroad,
'the first rail roadways called trsmways,
a name still need extensively in foreign
countries,' and Iesa here, lo designate street
railways,- were constructed In England in
1S02, at the 'collieries near' Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Ralls of timber, consisting of hard
wood stringers, grooved st the side or In
the center, were Isld on Improvised sup
ports. A horse, could baul about l.0
pounds .of .coal on such a tramway, the
coal being loaded In bulky carts, ths wheels
of which fitted the grooves In ths rails.
From thia period until ths opening of the
Stockton .ft Darlington railway, on Sep
tember 27, 18J6. about twenty-seven rail
ways were built In Kngland, ranging In
length from four to thirty-five miles, snd
having an sggregats length of about 875
miles. These railways wers used slmost
exclusively, for the- transportstlon'of coal
snd Iron, snd were of crude construction.
Developments In trsck constructions and
experiments with stationary steam power
plants and steam locomotives were numer
ous. The culmination of thla period of experi
mentation was reached when ths Stockton
Darlington railway, twenty-five miles
lokg, was opened, This rosd had four In
clined planes at which stationary power
plants were located. Between these plsnss.
both horses snd locomotives wers used.
Ths Btockton ft Darlington was the first
railroad opened for general traffic. When
it was projected, the carrying ot passengers
was not contemplsted, but ths success at
tending: tha opening of the road induced
ths company ts put on a single coach as
sn experiment. The number of persons
desiring to trsvel by rail was so grest
that additional coaches were provided,
and In a short period passenger trafflo be
came an Important part of the road's busi
ness. Hallway transportation. In ths mod
ern sense of the term, began, thus, with
the Stockton ft Darlington railway.
Ths success of the Stockton ft Darling
ton revived another railway enterprise,
which wss dsstlned to atif greatly In rail
road development. Ths Uvsrpool ft Man
chester railroad, spaanlng ths thirty miles
between the cities so named, was opened
for' trsffic ea September li. ,1810. As ths
model railway of Its time, ths trsck con
struction of ttils rosd deserves soma men
tion. Vpoti ths graded road surface was
placed a layer of broken stons two feet
deep. Stooo blocks, two feet square, were
set' three feet apart In this ballast and
upon ths blocks wera fastened cast -Iron
"chairs," In which ths rails wers secured
by wedges.. Ths rails wers "f ish-bellled."

No "doubt, at an early date, tramways
were operated as public utilities, very much
as the tramways of todgy, but the records
are extremely meager. Ths first legisla
tive act franchising a public carrier, of -which
we have any record, was one given
to- the Surrey Iron Tramroad, by .the Eng
lish Parteument In 1801. This road was
nine miles long, and borso-power waa
used.
Ths success attending ru II road develop
ment In England awakened other nations.
In Austria, a railway from Budwels to
Lints was begun In and forty miles
were completed by 1848. In Francs, the
first railway, from Saint ttlsnna to Au
drezleur, .thirteen miles, wss also com
pleted In 1828. Development In other coun
tries followed. In great .Britain, in 1840.
ten years after tbe openfng of the. Liver
pool ft Manchester railway, there were
1,331 miles of railway In operation. .
