veteen; if colored. It should accord with the skirt with which it Is worn. It

striped silk, % yard silk for revers and collar.
Cashmere in a pretty shade of blue is employed for the home dress; the

the left side is drawn up at the waist under the ends of right side, which are
ornamented with buttons. The long tucked sleeves are finished with lace
ru files.
Materials required: 8 yards 46 Inches wide, % yard lace, 2 yards lining.
WHITE NOW IN HIGH FAVOR
Color No Longer Regarded as Suitable
to Youth Alone Is Sure to Be
Much Worn.
A growing inclination to wear white
is apparent. White was once regarded
as the special privilege of youth. Now,
with a clearer knowledge of the values
of color and a better realization of the
importance of surrounding, one in
dulges one’s natural tastes. Perhaps
the Influence of the period under
which fashion is passing has some
thing to do with this, for the women
who amused themselves at Trianon
used white freely and without stint.
Be that as it may, white gowns, and
white generally, will be more worn
this coming season than ever. White
cloth in a variety of makes, satin
charmeuse, the cashmere and white
serge, in an infinite variety of quali
ties and thicknesses, will come in for
much attention from artists in dress.
As to the lingerie gown, its import
ance in the wardrobe cannot be ques
tioned. It Is one of the most useful
things to have and, whether worn out
side or indoors, permits so much in
dividual taste and charm in contrast
that it is quite indispensable.
DRESS FOR SMALL CHILD.
Here Is a dainty little dress in
cream nun’s veiling. The pretty
shaped opening at neck is edged with
silk galloon; a set of pin tucks are
made in centre of front below opening,
and also round the foot of skirt; the
armholes are edged by galloon.
The little slip or blouse, which is
separate, is in cream spotted silk, fin
ished at the neck and elbow by a nar
row frill. A colored sash is worn be
low waist.
Materials required: 2 yards veiling
46 inches wide, 1% yard silk 36 inches
wide, ltt yard galloon.
Return to Mahogany.
There is quite a return at present
to the use of mahogany candlesticks
for the bedrooms and living-room.
They are even used on supper tables.
The mahogany candlestick is old, with
a high polish, and stands quite high
on a flat base. The candles are used
without shades. A pair of them is a
good finish to a mahogany bookcase,
also to a mahogany desk.
Cotton to Bo Worn.
Gowns of coarse cotton not em
broidered in a heavy crude darning
stitch are to be worn in not only white,
J>ut colors. They are made over chlra
Sr other soft silks or even thin cotton
Df glossy finish.
STYLE THAT ALL WELCOME
Combination Lingerie Both Comfort
able and Suitable to the
Present Fashion.
The work of making lingerie is very
much lightened this season by com
bining three pieces in one. The slim
as well as the stout woman approves
of this plan. After a woman has worn
the three-piece combination, which
fastens down the front, is without
belts, draw strings, plaits or gathers,
she cannot return with satisfaction to
wearing the three separate pices.
The new garment is worn over the
corset, which Is placed over a thin
lisle-thread skirt or a knee-length com
bination suit.
The latter is more acceptable than
any other garment under the corset.
The shirt cannot be kept down, and
wrinkles around the edge of the cor
set, making a ridge that shows
through the outer skirt.
Dressed in this fashion, a woman is
more comfortable than she ever has
been. Her underclothes are reduced
to minimum weight, her waist line is
natural and not made larger by
strings, buttons and belts, and the lack
of petticoats gives her greater free
dom in walking.
Attractive Empire Combs.
Empire combs have come back with
the empire coiffures, and in Paris and
London there has been a rage for the
genuine combs of the period, very
high prices being paid In many cases
for the antiques. Even where the
stones used are not real gems, the de
sign and workmanship often give real
value to these combs; but excellent re
productions have been made from
many of the most attractive empire
designs, and these will content the
woman who does not care to spend a
large sum upon an ornament which is
likely to be but a passing fad. Dealers
in antiques tell us. however, that they
have sold a number of the genuine
old combs, chiefly In dull gilt and
pearls.—American Register, London.
Tight Sleeves and Low Collars.
Women whose arms are either very
full or very thin dislike the revela
tion of the sleeve that is guiltless of
any fulness whatsoever. Rut for the
woman who can wear the smaller
sleeve nothing is more chic at present,
for it gives a very narrow-shouldered,
slender look to the most corpulent fig
ure. Collars are less exaggerated
than they were a year ago, and the
shawl collars and collarless necks of
the new coats are a boon to women
who do their own tailoring. They are
awfully good style and very easy to
make. —Delineator.
Coral Linen Frocks.
Coral linen is a good material for
the foundation of a walking suit which
Is to be self-trimmed, soutached, out
lined with eyelet or made severely
plain.
Dlack should be Introduced in the
trimming scheme, though not In a
marked degree.
A black hnt is suitable for wear
with a coral linen frock, providing the
dress shows just the least particle of
black, which is easily obtained in
piped lines.
Fashion Is an Economy.
For once we have stumbled on a
fashion that is really an economy, for
instead of having a high-necked gown
for the theater and a semi-low neckod
gown for an informal dinner, a woman
now needs but one dr*ss for both «c
cations.
HARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE.
Left Thousands of Veterans with Kid
ney Trouble.
The experience of David W. Martin,
a retired merchant of Bolivar, Mo., is
just like thou
sands of others.
Mr. Martin says:
”1 think I have
had kidney dis
ease ever since the
war. During an en
gagement my
horse fell on me,
straining my back
and injuring the
kidneys. I have been told I had a
floating kidney. I had intense pain
in the back, headaches and dizzy
spells, and the action of the bladder
very irregular. About three years ago
I tried Doan’s Kidney Pills and Inside
of a comparatively short time was en
tirely rid of kidney trouble.”

Artificial Wants.
Many a one, for the sake of finery
on the back, has gone with a hungry
belly and half-starved their families.
‘‘Silk and satin, scarlet and velvets,’’
as Poor Richard says, “put out the
kitchen fire.” These are not the nec
essaries of life; they can scarcely be
called the conveniences; and yet only
because they look pretty, how many
want to have them! The artificial
wants of mankind thus become more
numerous than the natural; and as
Poor Dick says: “For one poor person,
there are a hundred indigent.”—Ben
jamin Franklin.

IS TRAFFIC GENERAL
J. C. STUBBS HARRIMAN’S
RIGHT HAND MAN.
Type of Persons Who Build Up Great
Railroads—A Freight Clerk
When Huntington Found
Him Years Ago.
New York.—A man with sharp,
piercing eyes and a face smooth
shaven and heavily lined sat listening
to the efforts made by the attorneys
for the government at a recent hear
ing to show that the combination of
rail roads formed by E. H. Harriman
was illegal and should be dissolved
under the Sherman act.
At different times the testimony had
to do with the peach crop of Cali
fornia, the apples of Washington, the
mineral products of Arizona and the
alfalfa grown on the plains of Kansas,
but no matter what the crop was or
where It was grown this man seemed
to know more about It than the law
yers or witnesses. This was because
he was the railroad traffic director of
one of the biggest railroad systems of
the country.
J. C. Stubbs is the traffic director of
the Harriman lines. He Is perhaps
the best example In this country of
what the railroad traffic man has be
come, because with the lines acquired
by Mr. Harriman, Mr Stubbs now
controls absolutely the traffic moving
over 27,000 miles of rail and boat
lines, a far greater mileage than it
has ever before fallen to any one traf
fic man to control.
It is the business of a traffic man
of a railroad to know not only all
there Is to know about a railroad it-
J. C. Stubbs.
self, how steep Its grades are, how
many cars can be handled by any of
its locomotives and other things about
its operation, but he must also know
what crops are grown along its lines,
what crops might grow and what In
dustries can be fostered In the terri
tory which his system covers. In
short, he must know about as much
as the census bureau and the depart
ment of agriculture combined. It
would be a poor traffic man, for in
stance. who couldn’t tell offhand just
about how many peaches were pro
duced in a state through which his
road passed, but when you are traffic
director of a system covering with all
Its lines more than half of the country
this becomes a pretty big job.
The traffic man of the big railroad
generally ranks next to the president.
Sometimes he Is the president, for
traffic experts have had the ability
recognized by promotion to such
places in many instances, as for ex
ample, President Ripley of the Santa
Fe. In the case of the Harriman lines
the president Is not the practical traf
fic man. Among railroad men Mr
Stubbs Is frequently spoken of as the
traffic brains of Mr. Harriman, and to
him have been credited many of the
latter’s moves, most of which are In
spired by considerations of traffic,
such for Instance as the acquirement
of the Illinois Central and the stock
purchases in many of the Important
lines in the east.
Stubbs started in when a young
man as clerk in the freight office at
Oakland. That was back In the ’7os,
when Collls P. Huntington was build
ing up his railroad system. When he
found out how much Stubbs could file
away in his head he began to pro
mote him rapidly until he finally be
came the traffic director of the South
ern Pacific, and as such the man who
made the rates for the Pacific coast
and its two Important outlets.
The headquarters of Mr. Harrlman’s
traffic director are in Chicago. From
there he gives his orders, which are
executed on the boat lines on the At
lantic coast as well as on the rail
lines across the western plains, and
all the time Mr. Stubbs is watching
what the other trans-continental car
riers are doing, particularly those
dominated by the genius further north,
J. J. Hill. Watching the flow of traf
fic from ocean to ocean and that put
off at way stations, Mr. Stubbs keepß
makiug mental notes and every week
or so comes on and has a talk with
Mr. Harriman, who got Mr. Stubbs
when he got the Southern Pacific and
immediately made him commanding
general of the traffic of all the lines
he controlled.
PROBABLY HARDEST OF ALL
Wlfey’s Addition to List of Her House
hold Duties of Course Was
Not Personal.
After dinner the other evening Mr.
and Mrs. Brown started to speak of
their respective duties, and soon an
argument as to whether the husband
or the wife had the hardest work to
perform was In full swing. First
Brown warbled, and then wlfey sang.
"A wife,’’ argued the good lady, “has
to cook, wash dishes, clothe the kids,
scrub the floors, sweep the house,
make the beds, build the fires, carry
up coal, nail slats on the back fence,
dig—”
“Is that all?” sarcastically inter
rupted Mr. Brown.
“No,” was the prompt rejoinder of
Mrs. Brown. “In addition to those du
ties every wife has to keep her hus
band from making a fool of himself?"
—Philadelphia Telegraph.
Thought He Wanted Too Much.

“Huh!” growled the customer.
