Crimson skirts, Low -Heeled Laced Shoes
and silver DaKgers.

The alligator skin and velvet belts so
fashionable just now are made addition
ally pretty by the Normal school girls,
who have their menograms in silver put
on the buckles or embroidered in silks
on the velvet.
Crimson skirts are very fashionable
for school wear On rainy days they do
not present the draggled appearance
that white ones do, and, besides, they
are warmer.
Dainty white swiss aprons made in
the Indian style, with butterfly pocket
on the right and narrow ribbon running
about the 81 es and the top of tn rutfle,
are worn by young ladies at our fashion
able schools They fasten about the
belt by WIDE satin ribbons. Some OF
them are embroidered with a cluster OF
flowers, sich as gentian blossoms or
poppies.
The newest handkerchiefs for school
have borders inscribed with Greek char
acters or examples in algebra. One cor
ner is turned down ana ornamented BY
a tiny ribbon bow.
The girls in q fashionable uptown
school are all wearing low-heeled laced
shoes They say they can take long
walks in the park in these shoes and not
ieel tired.
Plaid dresses with side plated skirts
aie popular Most of them have bodices
made of the plaid, but Others are worn
with jersey waists.
Very long undressed kid gloves in tar
shades are the most fashionable hand
coverings among SCHOOLGIRLS
The high-crown hats with small brims
and the round roll brim turbans are ia
vored for school wear. The bang is
worn in guffy little rings under them.
Silver dageers, swords, DOW and scis-
sors are the designs of the lace-pins in
vogue.
Linen cuffs are again in fashion. They
are held by link studs. y. y. Journal.

A FArmer. Clever p-Nice.

We made 8 singular discovery the
other day. remarked an official Of &
road running into Chicago. "A cut three
miles beyond q certain station on our
line there is farmhouse by the side Of
the track Just beyond the farmhouse
is a little creek, over which there is a
small bridge. About fouryears ago some
reps;rs were made to that little bridge,
and. Of course, the bridge gang had put
up sign-bosrd Run Slow on either
side during the day or so the bridge was
weakened. When they had finished
their work they went oA and forsot the
signs. The fact is, the boards had dis
appeared, and they didn't take the
trouble 10 huRt them up.
some weeks sfteIwsrd. no one knows
Just when, those signs reApleared in
their former places. Nobody knew who
put them there, or what for. Nobody
cared. lfthe section men noticed the N
al all they thought the bridge men had
done it. Il vas none Of the engineers
business why they were tnere-it was
their duty 10 observe regulations. which
required them 10 slow down at all such
signs. Observe regulations they did.
For about four years not a train had
passed over that little bridge without
Slowing slmos; 20 stand sill. The cul.

this company thousands ofdollars. You
know. q costs money % stop and star;
