As soon as the swagger modistes evolve a creation in gowns, so soon does a La Vida model appear appropriate for wear with the new vogue. Some very beautiful models have just reached us. They are straight front with rather long hips, designed for the popular hip-tight skirts. We should like ou to examine them; they are handmade and whaleboned. La Yidas are always full gored and bias cut, which is one of the many reasons for their great popularity. (Second Floor.) Sjwcial demonstration by Mrs. Dean.

One a Graduate of Harvard the Other Acquires Intimate Knowledge of Classics in His Few Leisure Hours. In th8 railway world the names of B. I Wlnchell and Howard KMott havo be come synonyms for brilliant success. In th- broad sense tho careers of these men emphatically exemplify that hard, concentrated work. unswerving obe dience to duty, attention to the smallest details, and loyalty pay. and pay well. While It Is well understood that Mr. Wlnchell and Mr. Elliott have a wonder ful aptitude for the Intricacies of railway nffalr?. It Is also recognized that only by Joe hardest kind of work have the- been JWe to score so well In such a short time. rom eeneral uUllty boy In the railroad shops to tbe most unique and one of the rnoFt responsible railway positions In the I'nlted States In thirty years Is Mr. Wlnchell's record. A'rem rodman In an englneerinc corps to president of a vast railway system In twenty-three years Is Mr. Elliotts rec ord. Both arc elfted with a composure that cannot be ruffled, a courteous address, sreat execuUve ability, powerful phy siques, and a marvelous capacity for wurk and snap Judgment, but with this their similarity ends. Wlnchell Is an exponent of the country bred, self-made man. who, step by step, has dosgadly fought his way to the front. Elliott represents tbe college-bred type, born and reared In the city, who turns from the attractions of a life of comjiar ative Indolence, starts at the bottom, takes pot luck with his lees fortunate com panions and forges to a high place among' Ul UaCcrs. HOWARD ELLIOTT. President of the Northern Pacific Rail road. While the careers or both men prove that It does not matter In what depart ment of a railroad a man starts. If be has the stuff In him. be will succeed. It Is regarded as but little short of wonder ful that neither man entered railway serv ice In the frelght-tramc department, from which most of tbe successful men have climbed up. rr;:;cyj7lT!sAiwg?aggSSi3B!Sg5Tl law ihwit iriiWilvrvM'ralf-taCaBHSaMMMHMP itiriB y I nmmmmimmamiammmmmmmmmmmtimmmmrtmmmmmmmmmcmmimtammmmmmmammtmmmmnimtmmmtmmmmmmmmmm I;sVsAsOssOx004-ss MLTI.IMW OF CMtKKIt s Of IIOU HD KI.UOTT. 4 Born In New York city in Bl Graduated from ll.irvanl to!in?p O s I!nn work as rodmn at ?.

Wlnchell was regarded as a passenger man. with but little knowl edge of the other departments. But it. F. Yoakum, knowing Mr. Wlnchell's ability, made him general passenger agent of the Prlsco. A few months later the railway world was surprised to bear of his being eleetI vice president of the Colorado South rn, and many wiseacres shook their beaiU. prtdicUcg that It would be Impossible (or a pe .senger mar to HI. the requirements of this omce. but so well did Mr. Wlnchell deal with tbe executive problems brought before him that In October. K9. he was offered the ofllce of president of the Kan sas City, Fort Scott and Memphis. Iev lng It on Us merger with the Fris. o to become first vice president of the Frisco. Thui. in substance, is the etrenuous life of the man bom and reared In Palmyra. Mou July 8. IKS. am! beginning work when he was IS years old a frulendkl example of the Westerner. In Elliott's career there Is In almost every respect. ae that of deserved suc cess, the antithesis cf WlncheJ's. Tbe president of the Northern Pacific represents the Easterner who has learned not only to appreciate the posiblllt'.es of tbe, West, but to avail hlmeHf of them. Born In New York City In 1S. a gra tu ate of Harvard, he entered the rallw iy service when he was J years oW as a rodman In lie engineering corpj of the Burlington, remaining with that roal through ail of Its changes until a few days ago. when he became p-eadent of tbe Northern Pacific. Wlnchell has devot-d all or his leisure to a study of the classics and the fine arts, with tbe resuit that he can speak upon music. palnUng and literature with the accuracy of one gifted with a goon memory, excellent Judgment - nd, broad Information. To Elliott tbe classics were a twice-told tale when he startel to work, as were many of the cults. Thlch go to make t7 TWMnS3r v'" lyv''" .i. B.

In his early yjuih It was Wlnchell's de sire to go to Yale, but tho necessity of go ing to work frustrated this aspiration. and he was compelled to work and study at the Mm time. With Elliott It wan different. He came West to grow up with the country, from an Innate desire to succeed on his own merits, which means success without a pulL- At 13 Wlnchell Is third vice president of nearly I3.0W miles f railway, known as the Rock Island sjitem.

It Is understood that his salary Is in the neighborhood of JIO.00O a year. At a Elliott Is president of tbe Northern Pacific Railway system, with a mileage of 5.U2 miles, extending from St. Paul to tho Pacific Coast, and owning large Interests In the vast steamshlo lines plying between the United States and the Orient. Tbe future for Wlnchell Is one of contin ual work. For Elliott It Is one of com parative ease. Wlnchell will be expected to harmonixo all the departments of the vast system so they will work In perfect accord, the In terest of one dovetailing with the other naturally and easily, the traffic of one line going to the other line of the same system, and all lines, whether In Texas or Illinois striving for one common end the success of the Rock Island system. With him also will be tbe task of devel oping a comparatively new country. Settlers In the vast areas In the South west tapped by the Rock Island lines will look to him that their products are brought to a proper market, and the ad vantages of their country brought before tbe public. President Elliott wilt enter upon the executive management of a line which has long been In the hands of skilled railway men. The Interests have been brought in touch, and the finished product Is In Ms keeping. With him will rest tbe responsibility ef making good better, and for doing this be will receive, about 132.000 a year. Both Wlnchell and Elliott are gifted with heads that nothing can rattle. Ever at their ease and ever able to srasp any prop osition submitted to them, it Is easily un derstood how their many friends In St. Louis express no uneasiness In the out come of either appointment. Socially, both are delightful companions, affable and possessing an unlimited fund of appropriate anecdotes with which to point a moral or adorn a tale, yet excel ling in the much-deslred faculty of being good listeners. In the comparison of the two men It Is appropriate to close by saying that the success of no other two men In St. Louis In railway circles has occasioned so much favorable comment as has the success tmt these. t .
