QUEEN WCTORlA'S BODICE.

Has the DecoIlete Been Banished to VAN
Her Fading Charms?
And now for her Maiesty's drawing room
in high-neck bodice, with elbow sleeves,
nodding piumes and four-yard train! Was
there ever such a combination of detail!
Through the Lord Chamberlain comes the
following pronunciamento, which has con-
vulsed British society, since no woman or
girl has ever been permitted to the Queens
Court with her neck and chest covered, no
matter how scrawny the one or how bony
the other.
"The Queen has been pleased to permit
that high court dress of silk, satin or vel
vet, according to the following description,
may be worn in future at her Majesty's
drawing rooms and on other state occasions
by ladies to whom, from illness, infirmlty or
advancing age, the present low court dress
is inappropriate-viZ: bodices in front, cut
square or heart shape, which may be filled
in with white only. either transparent or
lined; at the back high or cut down three
quarter height. Sleeves to elbow, either
thick ortransparent." BUTT is necessary for
ladies who wish to appear in high court
dress to obtain her Majestys permission,
through the Lord Chamberlain.
Miss Metcalfe, of London, was invited to
design two bodices for Court wear and SUBJ

ROCK ISLAND AHEAD.
The Latest Thing in Tourist Sleeping i.

The Latest Thing in Tourist Sleeping Cars.
The Rock Island has inaugurated new
feature, which promises to create consid-
cradle interest in railway improvement, it
being a free tourist car service, with nearly
all the convenienceS of the palace car, in
Guiding colored porters in attendance, fine
hair mattresses, pillows, blankets, soap,
etc. When made up for the night the
fourteen sections are partitioned off with
sliding panels and curtained with heavy
damask draperieS. Tables. attachable to
the sides OF the interior, are provided for
each section. The cars are heated by
steam. the aisles carpeJed, and cuspidores
for the cleanliness of the cars are added.
The duties of the porter accompanying
each car will be similar to those of the pal
ace car service-to look after the wants of
the passengers and see that the car is kept
perfectly clean. In one end is the ladies'
lavatory and in the other one for gentle
men. which are as nicely appointed and
furnished as the most fastidious would
desire. The intention of the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska is to furnish these
cars free of charge to tourists or excursion
parties when the number of persons is suf-
ficiently large to justify the use of a car or
cars. With such accommodations, and
without charge, there is no further neces-
sity of western tour without sleeping ac-
cOmmodations, nor is it necessary to make
such trip expensive. 1t is a great in-
ducement for parties. clubs, or any con-
siderable number OF persons contemplate
ing trip to the Rocky Mountains, for in
stance. And too, the Denver& Rio Grande
has adopted the same scheme, and as the
Rock Island connects with this route in
Colorado, the free tourist car system will
no doubt be generally adopted by those in
search of the pleasure and healthgiving re-
gions of our continent.-kansas City
