Extreme Tightness of the Most Wildly Freakish Modes Give the Wear ers a Decidedly Ridiculous Appearance. Very gradually, but with the utmost persistence, the silhouette of fashion has entirely changed since the season began. The smart summer girl now presets lines -srhleh are often likened to those of a tube, a folded umbrella or a pillow case tied at the bottom. The similes are not extravagant, for the chief phase of the daily narrowing m\ \m-ml iai'11 ml mlvi ^ Mm. skirts is a closeness at the bottom. Sometimes the cut achieves this, but very frequently it is produced by a hobbling band put at the lower por tion of a skirt, which is fulled into It • and gathered as well into the belt. In the most wildly freakish models with this feature the extreme tightness at the short skirt--for it must be very little over ankle length--as well as the contracted style of the bodice gives the wearer a most ridiculous appearance. As her petticoat is so narrow--one yard is the fashionable width--she can neither walk nor sit with grace, and her close attir» like wise necessitates the remodeling of all underwear. Nevertheless the hobbled skirts, as well as others In scant style, can be made both pretty and becoming if the fashion is not carried too far, and they certainly give opportunity for decided economies in the way of quantity of material. I have seen the most charm ing little frocks made from three yards and a half of double-width goods, and a prominent dressmaker tells me that she h>»s turned out several made of two yardB and a half. Just at this time there is a great demand for modish gowns in thin ma terials, such as would be used in town or out for dressy summer occasions, and although a delicate texture de mands more fullness than a thick one these frocks all lean toward the slim modes. For the very thinnest textures especially if they are soft as well, shir ring is much used, this with the help of heavy cords sometimes fitting the waist portion of a princess frock and binding in the skirt breadths below the knees after the present fad. The plaited skirt with overdress in straight lines is preferred for the more expen sive pongees and tussah silks, but these, too, must bang scantily, and must often be thoroughly pressed as well to have the right air Our illustration shows the straight plaited skirt and overskirt already re ferred to, and no better model could be had for a semi-useful gown, one which must still be suitable for occa sions when a thinner and more elab orate frock would be out of place. As illustrated the costume is of white embroidered pongee, with a handsome white lace touched with a little heavy black embroidery. The Dutch neck permits an evening or afternoon decol- letage, and the general trim appear ance of the gown will just suit the woman who bates eccentricity. A very cheap material for this frock would be a prettily figured muslin in ' any color, with a deep bordering, this put at the bottom of the two skirts? 1 Charming muslins of very cheap sorts are shown with these deep plain bor ders, but it is easy enough to buy a plain materilil by the yard. Irish tweed in a gray or dull blue, with Per sian cotton used as is the lace shown herewith, would be very satisfactory. Craze for Scarfs. There is a perfect craze in Paris for Persian and cashmere chiffon scarfs, bordered with marabout in natural and dyed colors. These scarfs are so broad as to be like shawls, and are elaborated with marabout bands, often put on in designs to follow rows of shirring or shoulder slashings. DETAILS MUST BE WATCHED Little Things Which Make Greet Dif ference in the Way a Drees, Hat, or Wrap Looks. In dress, as in other things, the importance of the attention to little things is essential. If this be given, the big effect will take care of Itself. • gown, hat or wrap can be raised from a plane of mediocrity to that of distinction by the introduction of little details of ornamentation that are decidedly successful in the at- atinment of that end, yet are within the reach of most fingers. A hat that in Itself is the duplicate of hundreds of others can be treated to a peculiar binding or an unusual adjustment of ornaments. The bind ing, by the .way, offers wide field for differentiation from the usual flat velvet facing. Fringe in silken or linen forms is distinctive, If used as an edging for the turned-down rim. Silk or velvet can be puffed or shirred over the edge, while a rose quilling is the newest trimming for that part of the hat. In dress the details are extremely important. "What is the use of bothering about these little things?" many home dressmakers protest. It is just this attention to the details that the French have so horoughly mastered that stamp a model as good or indifferent. Little plaitings that are for the most part hidden, applications of tiny buttons * or narrow braid, hidden bands of color under lace and the wonderful attention to hooks, loops and buttons at all fastenings are the factors that produce a successful whole. Last of all, let there be paid a care ful attention to the accessories with which woman adorns herself. With a blue dress wear blue pins and rings. With a red dress use the Jewelry that best harmonizes with the shade. Black and white are more friendly to the jewel casket, but the rule of one color scheme is the best to be ob served. Full Skirts Again. A writer in Vogue says: "At first glance the voluminous skirts appear to be of endless width and fulness, but although a great deal of material goes into their makeup, they are invariably mounted on a close-fitting and narrow foundation, so narrow oftentimes that it scarcely seems as if it were quite safe to attempt to step longer than the ordinary. The thin chiffons and voiles that are mounted on these linings are treated to all sorts of handling that gives them voluminous effects. "Accordion plaiting is again seen, being used sometimes in combination with the drooping tunic forming the lower flounce. Shirrings are popular, and flounces, one above the other, as to the 1850 period, are seen in fascina ting models. One such was a peach- colored taffeta, changing in some lights to a faint green. The skirt had four flounces of finely plaited lace mounted on peach-colored chiffon. A much more wholesome sweet for children than anything which can be bought is home-made toffee--made only of butter, sugar and lemon juice. Grapes have potash and tartaric acid, together with a great percentage of sugar. They act most beneficially on the blood, cleanse the system, make the skin pure and free from Olemishes, and are very good fo« dys peptics. Bananas are nearly all iiourishment and are recommended for use by those with delicate digestive powers. When one is subject to sore throat a soothing drink is made from a pint of barley water, brought to the boiling point over a hot fire. To this is added feu ounce of the beat pin arable, which is constantly stirred until dlB- eolved. Overfatigue lessens vitality aai la consequence leaves the system more liable to fall a prey to any disease germs with which it comes in contact One of the benefits of exercise is that it stimulates the skin to secrete perspiration, driving It through the pores, and thus rids the blood of Its waste. Beware of matches In the nursery. Little children often suck them and may easily poison themselves in this way even if they do not set their clothes afire. Lemons are excellent for curing colds or allaying feverishnees. Their citric acid supplies the blood with a cooling agent, making this fruit a fubrifuge. Oranges act in the same way, but with slightly less strength. The Veil Renewed. The mesh for summer veilings has grown so large, so open, so cobwebby in design that it has had to begin all over again. So filmy are veils that they will not hold together. The wide ngures are now stretched on an in visibly fine net basis. These wide mesh figures are entirely reptacta* the heavy lace designs is veils. Ties are a problem for railroading. Wood is becoming scarce and the mileage of railroads is steadily increasing and the demand for ties is con tinuous and urgent. One railroad has recently tried as an experiment the substitution of old T rails for cross ties. They were laid in a stone bed and are said to have given satisfaction. ROADS HELD LIABLE VEHICLE SIGNAL SYSTEM FEDERAL JUDGE HAND8 DOWN AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Company Responsible for Injury to Worker Even Though Train le Not In Interstate Trade. the m An important decision under federal employers' liability act handed down by Judge Hand of the United States cir cuit court at New York, in which it was held that any employee of a com mon carrier who may be considered to be engaged in commerce is entitled to Intvrsiine' damages if injured by reason of the negligence of another officer, agent, or employe of the carrier. Judge Hand holds that it does not matter, in the case of a train accident, wheth er the train which caused the injury is engaged in insterstate commerce or not, so long as the employee hurt may be deemed thus engaged. The case is one in which two track workers on the Jersey Central railroad were run down by a string of cars that was fefng kicked back into the yards in Jersey City on Christmas day, 1908. One of the men was killed and the other lost his leg. It appeared that on the trial that the railroad officials had not set any one to watch for approaching trains while the two trackmen were repairing a switch. The trial court allowed the Jury to consider that negligence existed on the part of the railroad in not having a lookout kept, and overruled the contention of the defense that the fed eral liability act did not apply because the string of cars by which the ac cident was caused was not engaged in interstate commerce at the time. Judge Hand based his decision de nying a new trial on the theory that the men at work on the switch were engaged in interstate commerce in asmuch as the switch was a necessary adjunct of such activity. That being •o, he holds that it is no consequence whether the train that struck the men was in interstate commerce or not, and that the only question arising in such cases is whether the railroad on which the accident arises is engaged in interstate commerce. TO ADOPT UNIFORM CODE Semsphore Signals to Be Identical on All Railway Lines If Present Plans Go Through. Uniformity in signaling is to be adopted on the railroads of the United States if plans now under considera tion by the various railroad operating associations can be worked out. The question is being considered by a committee of operating experts, which probably will report upon the subject at the fall meeting of the American Railway association. The committee is composed of com mittees from the American Raitway association, the American Railway En gineering and Maintenance of Way as sociation and the Railway Signal as sociation. If possible, the commit tee Is expected to inaugurate a move ment toward uniformity in railway signaling in the belief that it will pro mote safety in operations. It is the opinion of many operating experts that one position of the sem aphore of a block signal means the same thing to every railroad in the United States, in order to prevent con fusion when operating men go from one road to another. A New Device Which Supplements the Bell, and Is Designed Particular ly for AytomofcHes. The block signal system has now been extended to protect automobiles. At the crossing in South Plalnfield, N. J., the I^high Valley railroad has installed "banjo" which Indi cate "danger" automatically, whenever a train is approaching. These are en tirely separate from the regular rail road signals, and are operated purely as a safeguard for vehicles. The auto matic bell, which has announced trains for years, is not abandoned. It will ring as usual. The new device is sup plementary to it, and is designed par ticularly for automobiles, which often make such a noise of their own that the occupants can not hear other noises. A "banjo" signal is so named because of its shape. It has the ap pearance of a banjo standing straight up on its small end. In the center of the drum is a round opening, which is covered by a red disc *{hen a train ap proaches. Above thts^ig a smaller opening for illumination at night. As a warning to automobiles and other vehicles, a red light appears here at night, just as the red disc appears be low in the daytime. There are two of the "banjos" at South FiaiuWiu, for vehicles going in both directions. It is impossible for a defect in the mechanism to lead a vehicle into danger, because any defect sends the signal at once to "danger." It can show "safety" only when the device is in perfect working order. A signal system of this kind for vehicles is an innovation. The Lehigh Valley al ready has similar installations in prog ress at other places. WEAK KUCTEYS WEAKEST ft THE WHOLE BODY. 'No chain is stronger than its weak est link.

The lines of the Pennsylvania sys tem carried last year 400,000,000 tons Of freight for various distances, aver aging 86 miles. What does that mean? If you made up a train of average cars, loaded them all to the average weight of all cars in this country in 1909, and hitched enough of the most powerful engines in the world to that train to make it move, the train would be 100,000 miles long, and the engines would reach from New York to Chi cago. The freight cars would girdle the earth four times at the equator. If you added enough passenger cars to handle the people who traveled on these lines last year, your passenger coaches would reach twice more around the world. There is a picture of "big 'busi ness;" too big, perhaps, to take in all at once. Let us try it in Installments. All the railroads in the United States carried last year 1,800,000,000 tons of freight. If you made it into one traiif in the same way as indicated for the Pennsylvania, that train would have 450,000 miles of freight rars. Out of every 100 cars in the train, 22 would carry the red shield of the Pennsyl vania. In the passenger train reck oned the same way, 15 out of every 100 would be the red cars of the Penn sylvania. Fireman Leaps From Engine Pilot to Throw a Child From the Ralls. As a passenger train was palling into Beaver Meadow, Pa., the two men in the engine cab saw a little girl standing on the track ahead, laughing and waving her arms. The distance was so short that it was at once ap parent that the train could not be stopped before the child was reached. Engineer Wittlg applied the brakes and rang the bell. Fireman James Fox jumped through the cab door, dashed along the running board, leaped from the pilot to the track and sprint ed. There were only a few yards be tween the train and the child and it was doubtful whether Fox or the train would win. Fox had only time to kick the child from the track like a foot ball and spring aside himself when the train was on him. The pilot threw him to one side and his legs just missed going under the wheels. He was scratched and bruised. The child, which rolled down an em bankment, was scratched, but other wise unhurt. The child's mother, who had seen its danger and its escape, fainted when she realized that It was safe. She is Mrs. Jacob Qllosky. The child is 2 years old. until I was a mere shadow of my former self and too weak to stand more than a few minutes at a time. My rest was broken and my nervous system shattered.

A Railway Palace. A magnificent private car, said to be the most sumptuous coach ever constructed, has been sent from Eng- Jang to South America for the use Kof the president of the Argentine Re public. A recent number of Popular Mechanics contains a description and illustrations of the car. It says: "The coach is 78 feet long and 10*6 feet wide and is constructed of steel. The exterior is painted in cream, with gold and blue lining, the national Ar gentine colors. At one end is the pres ident's day saloon, a compartment 17 feet 3 Inches long, decorated in the Louis XVI. style, with green silk pan els and carpet At one end of this is a real fireplace, with mirror above, and means of ventilation. The roof is tastefully carved. Adjoining this compartment is a bedroom, also fitted with green carpet and upholstery and furnished with a bedstead finished In old gold, with the Argentine coat of arms at the foot. The bedrooln has three doors--one leading to the day saloon, one to the corridor which runs along the side and one to the bedroom. By locking y one of these doors all become locked. "The next compartment is a study or library, finished in mahogany, with red leather chairs and a red carpet. Next to the study are two more bed rooms, upholstered with French gray silk panels, the general scheme bellkg white, with green leather chafe* and carpets." * t* Bear Holds Up a Train. A big black bear held up a Lehigh Valley railroad passenger train lnthe mountainous district of Bernice, Pa. The train was going down a moun tain grade when Engineer Miller saw the bear asleep on the track some dis tance ahead, and slowed down. The bear didn't move and Miller stopped his locomotive, with the pilot only s few feet from the animal. Bruin was aroused by this time and cross. He growled, clawed the pilot and would not leave the tracks. The engineer started the train, but Bruin bung on to the pilot Finally the nremaa pulled the whistle cord and the shriek of the es caping steam frightened the bear, and he scampered oft, •• . -- Make the Liver Do its Duty ' Nine times is ten when the ther w right tke Stomach awl bowels are tight, CARTER S LIT!
