VV'Jiiie it has been ttutljeritatively stated
that there i.« no truth in the reported rcsig
natliii of James T. llarahan a? president
of the Illinois Central, the rumor j.< under
stood to have tin? much basis in fact: Mr.
Harahan has been president only since 1907,
Stuyvc.-ant Fish, who was ousted
after « i.iUer fisiit for control of the rond
by the late K. 11. llarriman. Since his elec

j-ervicos of two of his most valuable assist
ants—Jacob M. Dickinson, the general coun?
sel. who resigned to become Secretary of
V.'p.r under the sent administration, and
Mr. Rawn.
Ov.inc to these resignations, it is said, >Ir.
Ilarahan succested to jj:e directors that
tuejr elect Mm • hair-man of the board, and
offere.] his resisrnation as president to eri
aLle them to put pome one else in hi* place.
Th* direr tors, however, could not find the
risht man to fill the office and Mr. Harahan
was continued In th» place.

Some So Elaborate They Al
most Make the Gown,
The criticism ,has often been made by
those who are ever on the warpath of
reform that thinking has become a proc
ess of the past, and that modern inventions
t«nd to make man mentally lazy. This is
not the place to discuss so grave a charge,
but any otic who has seen the exhibit of
,]r,.< trimmings and accessories in one of
the Mth street shops might readily admit
the truth of the statement in regard to
EVENING GOWN OF ROSE CREPE METEOR EMBROIDEKED IN' PEARL&
clothe;-. The planning of an evening gown
is practical a >- fait accompli" for the
buyer of one ,«• the Russian tunics or
coats of mail that are being shown. Com
posed of a Mouse, peplutn and sleeves, all
that the dress-maker needs to supply Is a
well fitting, plain underdre?s of heavy silk
or brocade.
These garnitures are mail" in all colors,
of embroidered chiffon, spangled net. lace,
steel beads a id countless other transparent
fabrics, and truly deserve the oft misap
plied term of "confection." Almost all of
them have a round cut at the neck ar,d
elbow sleeves. Borne few are finished with
a satin belt, wlille others have a broad
ribbon sash fastened just below the hem
of the tunic.
Other garnitures that are not so complete
are broad bands or corsages and hip pieces
of metallic or floss embroidery; With these
a little more planning is necessary, as skirt,
bodice and sleeve are. .not covered. As is
the case with the Russian tunics, and as
the amount of bought trimming becomes
le.-s. the amount of detailed work on the
jnwn 1,-. ,■:..- greater. In fact, it is quite
obvious that decoration and thinking vary
in\ersely, for as the one increases the
other grows tees. Does this, then, lead one
to the conclusion that heavy thinking and
plain clothes are synonomous?

White Robed Sisters Show
Work of Pupils at Plaza.
It is hard to achieve anything unique in
the way of a bazaar or sale, but the Fran
ciscan Missionaries of Mary. No. 223 East
4.'it'n street, appear to have attained this
1 distinction in the sale which they opened
! yesterday afternoon nt he Plaza Rot L
\ One of the little parlors has -been turned
into a bower of laces and embroideries of a
sort that no one but the Sisters, probably,
. would have been able to bring together. As
the order ha? branches in every country on
the map. the Sisters have been able to col
lect many interesting Inn ens of handi
work from these nations. There- is a bed
spread copied exactly by their pupils in
France from one used by Maiie Antoinette]
There are smock blouses embroidered in
colors by Russian peasants, and there is a
fan painted by Chinese hands. There are
also Sicilian laces and embroideries, mad?
by victims of the earthquake and by or
phaned survivors, who have straggled to
support themselves by mean? of their nee
dlework.
In addition to the imported articles, there
are baby dresses, -■ks and bib^. and
blouses, dresses and linperi^ hats for
grown-ups, all made by twenty-five little
girls to whom the Sisters are teaching the
art of the needli at their house, in East
43th. street. So fine is this work that it is
hard to helieve that it was done by restless
American hands.
The Sisters themselves, In their pictur
esque white robes, waited on the custom
ers, and though only two spoke- anything;
but French they got on very well with the
help of -signs and the tags on the articles.
Th" two English speaking Sisters were
Iroueht from Boston for the occasion.
The sale will continue a ■■ ■ ek, and in con
npction with it there will bo on Thursday
afternoon a lecture 6n 'The National Music
of Spain." illustrated at the piano by l>>n
alfl.Oliphaht. Among the patronesses who
will occupy boxes are Mrs Thomas Kelly.

is involved in the making, It is made 4.f

: dent of the students' aid committee of
i the Manhattan Trade School Tor »iirls. for
■ the benefit of which the debate was held.
i v. a on the platform.
Miss Tarbell passed over the sufT-.aee
i question to talk about Miss Rppplier's
essays, which she said were admirable to
! restore one's mental eqtiilibrium. so hard
| to maintain in this too serious as-
Ulsa Reppller, in a pappr deploring
woman's, lack of efficiency and of busi
1 ness intesrity. touched on woman suffrage
j lons enough to say that if it would in
crease the efficiency of women she hoped
they would .eet it.
Then William Forse Scott, the one lone
: man on the platform, delivered the ant;
j speech. Mr. Scott thought it too bad that
, so many woin^n had goas rat into the
business world, and ■••»>■ lost that un
speakable charm which h«» ?ai<i disttn-
I guished the true woman and made it {.kjssi-
I bit- for anybody to ; . rrco^nize hei bo
; periority. Tliis sentiment was gieeted wtth
: Irreverent laughter by the audience.
"Of course." said Mr. Scott, "a f>w women
hate done erreat things, l>ut they are the
exception to the rule. The vast majority
do ordinary work, and pet thai work only
by underbidding men. Is it for the pood
of men, is it for tiie pood of men, is it
for the good of the state, that they should
do this? And la the little they pain worth
while, compared with their toss of charm?"
As to the vote. Mr. Scott* thought that
If women were wise they woul3 agre* with
men, an.!. 'like them, wait for the advan
tages gained by slow growth."
•its useless/? said Dr. Anna Shaw, the
BUffrage speaker, '"to debate whether wom
en ought to = „ out to work, or whether
working in a store takes away delicacy
v hi. a woman may retain by working in
the kitchen. The fart Simply is that five
million women go out to work in the United
States, and other millions of people are
dependent ■<•! the labor of these, fc'urely
these women ought to have an equal chanc?
with men. We have i-> work as men work;
give us the same weapon— the ballot— and
then, if we can't hold our own lot us fall
to the rear."
