One word to those who would select wrap
pings for lasting good style. Always choose
cloaks or jackets with as few seams and pieces
as possible The less thick cloth is cut up the
better, and sacques with six pieces in the back
or separate skirts never look well or give the
satsiact ton of simpler models. There is a
pretty short jacket sold In very dark and fine
plush. nearly handsome as ''black seal,
though not initiating 1t, which goes we'll with
any costume. The fronts lap a little, giving
warmth to the chest the collar sets closely, with
very small la and the skirt is straight without
being clumsy. This is as well made as any
thing at so. Besides this have a long cloak
of very light or dark cheviOt, ii light with high
cloth collar-not too haring if it is to see an
other sesson-itted under the arms with no
dart.
fluffy gray boa of the best raccoon fur and
muff to match will give style to u plain gray
cloak for furs match the cloaks religiously, un-
less of the most expensive. Cloaks of soft tan
cloth have boas of the yellowish, cat-like fur
called Iceland lamb, and the union is becoming
in an odd, bizarre fashion TO saffron blondes
with the dark eyes that accompany such hair.
For sheer economy and good style q cheviot
cloak of darkest blue black or heather purple,
with detachable cape lined with feecy flannel of
warm, rich plaid finished by velvet collar in
side cuffs aud girdle, will be admirable while il
lasts. The soft fannels are used Tor Innings on
account of their rich colorings, which give pic

Electric Railroad for Annapolis.
In an interview with prominent
managers of the gas and electric
companies at their offices in Baiti-
more, we were shown a map OF An
napolis with line of railroad rum
ming through Germantown, down
West street to Church circle, thence
down Maryland avenue TO the Naval
Academy, to be run by electricity.
This road will be built, it is under
stood, next year if permission can
be secured from the city authorities.
The territory comprised within our
city limits, is pretty we'll built up,
and more room is demanded for
improvements. The object of this
electrical railroad is, in part, to
bring the unimproved grounds on
the western borders of the city with
ia easy and convenient reach of the
business centre. These grounds
under proper grading and sewerage,
would make most delightful family
residences, which we have no doubt
those of us who have the money and
desire a quiet out-of-town home,
would speedily purchase and inn
prove with modern dwellings and
beautiful gardens OF flowers aud
shrubbery.
This road would also enable our
down town residents to reach the
new depot which the Eastern Shore
railroad contemplate building short
~, on the line of their road where it
crosses the county road running out
of West street extended, and give
to our "Germantown" friends easy
and quick access to the business
portions Of the city, and open up a
large territory for suburban resi-
dences.
IL our own citizens would put
their shoulders to the collar, and
not wait for outsiders to do every
thing, Annapolis would have solid
boom and experience a greater
prosperity thepcoming summer than
it has ever enjoyed.
just think of it. The old city of
Annapolis, which the outside world
think finished city, but we who
have noted its progress know better.
is about to have an electric railroad
running through its we'll paved
streets.
Three lively steam railroads with
their depots here and and an cleo
trio railroad running through our
business streets, will fill our small
cities in the State, with green-eyed
jealousy.
