other things in proportion.

Hut They Won't Be Long, Very lx>ng
Well, men, I don't know that we
have uny right to kick just because
long dresses have again made their
appearance, Wo have ha<l 10 or 12
I years of sight-aeeing at practically
no hurt, except poanibly a few of us
have run into telephone posts and
curb* while not looking straight ahead.
After all, style is the only thing
that counts. I can remember when
a 1 o-byI5-inch hustle was a thing of
beauty and a joy forever. They
lopked all right and we young fellows
thought thut they had come to
stay. Occasionally they would drift
around to one side of the hips and
make the dear sweet things appear
to Ih1 kinder lop-sided, and in many
instances, such mis-placements wvre
mistaken for dislocation of the hip.
Shortly after "the arrival of the
hustle, the wasp waist-line came and
spent a while. It was an horrible
-disgrace for a woman to have a waist
any Jarg.M ufound than a stick of
bologna sausage. Corset strings were
always fr? m 20 to 1" feet long, an i

Then came the white .-hi. t~w u-i

the skirt still served the purpose of
concealing the ankles from view an i
raising a dust. Before we had real

One Louis Goldstein asked a New

Golding, claiming that his name Gold

and further that there were no
authentic American names except
those of Indians. He refused the petition.

'When you are twenty you take

1 fresh skin at thirty. ...
"But as n serious student of femr.ine

One Hundred Years of Service
ON February 10, 1830, a little company of
progressive people in Petersburg, Virginia,
obtained from the General Assembly ofVirginia
a charter for the construction of a railroad from
Petersburg "to some convenient point on the .
North Carolina line."
When completed it reached from Petersburg
to Blakely, Va., one and a half miles below the
falls of the Roanoke River, a total distance of
59 miles.
Not much of a railroad by modern standards!
But an undertaking of some magnitude for those
times; and one that, its advocates foresaw, would
revolutionize industry and commerce.
They were empire builders, those pioneers of
the Petersburg Railroad, who had unbounded
faith in the future of tl.i South and in the success
of the new enterprise. But as great as was their
faith they could hardly have envisaged the
changes that were to come.
Built as a local enterprise to increase trade,
the Petersburg Railroad became in a few years a
link in the "great mail" route between North
and South and, with more than one hundred
other roads, was later welded into the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company.
Today what was formerly the Petersburg
Railroad is an essential part of a system comprising
5153 miles of railroad in Southeast Virginia,
the Eastern Carolinas, Georgia, Florida
and Southeast Alabama.
Over the heavy steel rails that long ago replaced
the strap-iron track of the Petersburg
Railroad, there moves a vast and varied traffic.
From North to South?from South to North
? the great trains thunder past. Luxurious mil'ea-ininutc
passenger trains, each costing as much
as the entire original cost of the Petersburg
Road. Swift freight trains, laden with valuable
cargoes.
! \ery train essential to the commerce of the
. nation. Every train a tribute to the vision of the
founders, and of the men who followed after.
The Atlantic Coast Line of today has been a
cinturv in the making. It looks to the future
with the same confidence as did that President
of the Petersburg Railroad who wrote: "of the
final success of such a line, no one can doubt
v> ho is the least acquainted with the immense
intercourse of the country and with the great
value of time in conducting its business."
