Imported Costumes and Practical
Suits; Fancy Effects in Stripes.
For the past few weeks New York
has been havinK a veritable "carni
val of fashion" though this is the
season of sackcloth. Opening after
opening has been held at the repre
sentative stores, and at the more
private establishments where fine
attire is dealt in to say nothing of
the displays of practical suits made
b"' manufactureres here.
Very Light Colors.
White or very light colored grounds
with colored stripes, as well as
checks of similar style, are among
j j the most notable showings of the
season. Wonderfully elaborate ef
fects are obtained by using, in the
same suit, stripes running length
wise. across, and biased at different
angles. The whole trimming effect
being obtained by these line arrange
ments.
Slender Effect*.
In the hands of a shillful tailor
no woman should be obliged to go
about looking dowdy for the want

New Shirt Waists.
With practical suits the extra
waist is Just as much to the fore as
! ever. Shirt waists of a washable
I sort made of linen and fine cottons
have very full, much pleated fronts,
and close down the centre with a
narrow box plait edged with nar
row plaited ruffles. Embroidered
turn over collars are the most
fashionable neckwear with these,
and little buttuifly bows are used
more than an/ other form of neck
tie.
Colored Borders.
There is a veritable rage for bor
dered effects, which is manifested in
all kinds of goods, from stamped
silks and chiffons for function gowns
that sell up to $12 per yard to color
ed bordered handkerchiefs—pretty
ones too—that sell for 25 cents each.
Colored borders- on turn over collars
of white linen, on pleating and the
small frilly bows as leaders are great
favorites.

anparent slenderness is produced in
figures that without help of some
sort would be much too heavy to be
ranked in this class.
Trimness of Line Essential.
The present modes demand great
neatness and trimness of line hence
the fit of the corset and underwear j
berom'.s a matter of even more than |
usual importance. Every woman
with a well developed figure should :
wear some form of support above
upper Hne of the corset and
many devices ha#e been made for
this purpose. Through the courtesy
of Arthur Frankenstein & company
wo are able to illustrate a new gar
ment of this sort known as the
“Corslette’’ which is especially to be
commended.
Made of fine batiste, trimmed with
lace and ribbon, with flexible boning
and a back of elastic webbing, this
little holder fits any figure and in
sures the lines that are essential to
the proper fit of the outer apparel,
whether It be a dressy costume or a
simple shirt waist. As this launders
w ” and can be had at small coat
at all up-to-date corset departments.
New Gloves-
Gloves continue long to meet the
three-quarter or half sleeves, that
wni surely last through the summer.
Besides the silk globes we are told
that long lace mitts will be worn this
year. Many of new silk gloves
have tops made fanciful by embroid
eries and by lace insets.
Hat Wrinkles.
Mushroom shapes hold the first
nlace. but these are shown in such
diverse models that the only point
of resemblance among them lies in
the fact that their rime all drop.
Crowns are low. high, round, or
square, and rims fall suddenly, or
turn down in a saucer-like curve.
Some are wide and some are narrow,
any many are both, being narrow to
almost nothing in front and widen-
' ’ out to great exte at the bat

Colored Straws.
Decided colors In straws are liked,
replacing the colored felts so smart
ly worn last winter, and on many of
these the same rose trimmingsr are
used.

FIRST STEEL PULLMAN CAR.
This Sleeper Cannot Burn and Will
Resist Smashes.
Indestructible by fire and capable of
withstanding an impact of 3.000,000
pounds on Its ends In case of wre< k.
the Jamestown, the first Pullman car
built entirely of metal, is on view in
the Grand Central station, says tiie
New York Press. Max Schneider of
the Pullman company, the designer of
th* car, boasts the Jamestown is wreck
proof. He believes that if it be thrown
from the rails it will bump about like
a huge safe, protecting Its occupants
from any inJv”" save a slight shaking.
Ha has red».,u for his belief. The
Janmatown was tested in a wreck at
the Pullman works before it was
brought to New York. It was made
the rear car in a train of eight wooden
coach**, and then the train, it is said,
wa* backed at high speed against a
post The other cars shut up like pa
per boxes, bift the Jamestown remain
ed Intact
In order to obtain such great strength
Schneider had to sacrifice lightness.
Th* Jamestown weighs 147,000 pounds,
or about 10,000 more than the ordinary
wooden sleeping car. A locomotive
will be able to ban! only ten of the
Jamestown type where it can draw
eleven wooden cars. The great weight
of the car has revealed an advantage
unforeseen to its designer. The first
time It was sent alon&ffbe rails at
good speed It was found the tremen
dous weight practically did away with
the usual annoying vibration.
In addition to being collision proof
the Jamestown, the designer asserts,
is fireproof. The oar Is built of steel
aluminium and brass throughout so,
with th* exception of bedding and
cushions, there are no inflammable fit
tings or famishing*. Tbs hsddtwg end
cushions have been treated by a proc
sss which. It Is said, has mad* them
partly Incombustible—that la, they will
smolder, bat not bias*. Stssl Is used
wherever strength Is required, and
aluminium is used for panels.
Th* car was brought to Maw York
t* permit th* Pennsylvania and Cen
tral oflstaas te Inspect ft< It wlff to
taken back to the Pullman weeks and
will to sent to the Jamestown exhibi
tion as aeon as that stow epaMi
Hungary Depopulated.
According to a report of Consul Gen
eral Guenther of Frankfort, German
and Austro-Hungarian journals speak
of the gradual depopulation of Hun
gary. Official statistics show that for
100o in Hungary the excess of births
over deaths was 150,970, but the emi
gration was 254,305, causing a net loss
of over 100,000. Of the 254,305 emi
grants for whom passports were Issued
163,703 went to the United States,
This depreciation is affecting con
scription statistics. For example, in
the Lubloe township the draft called
for 647 capable recrnlts to serve in
the ranks and only 131 appeared; the
516 absentees had emigrated to Amer
ica. Those appearing were mainly of
poor quality, only 51 of the 181 being
considered fit
Alcohol From Garbage.
That the method of garbage disposal
Is about to be revolutionized by the
manufacture of denatured alcohol is
the statement made to the common
council of Milwaukee by Dr. W. A.
Boyd of Rockford, 111. Milwaukee now
pays $1.89 a ton for burning its gar
bage at a municipal plant ai d Dr.
Boyd has offered to do. the work at 70
cents a ton and at the end of ten years
give the city his plant
Ha says that the coat of operating
nearly every plant in the country can
be materially reduced If tbs plants
will taka up the manufacture of alco
hoi Dr. Boyd says he will get grease,
fertilizer and alcohol from tbs waste.
Alcohol will be th* most important
«f tbs byproducts.
