The Engineers Story.
- TDetrolt h'raa Press

The locomotive engineer was off duty
and had time to talk.
'We have some queer experiences" he
said. Zone of the things that is not pleas
ant is to run over animals, and we avoid it
all we can. They never seem to know that
it is good deal safer to take five steps to
the right or left than it is to take five hun
dred right ahead. That's why we have to
stop often and head them off the track.
ST had funny thing happen to me
once on the Chesapeake and Ohio road.
About two miles from a bridge one
day scared up mule in the middle of
the track. and / whistled for all I was
worth, but the mule kept in the track on a
run. At last had to stop, and the fireman
went ahead and drove him off, BY the
time the fireman got back and we had
started that COMPOUNDED mule was on the
track again and we were after him. We
didn't dare to take the risk of running
over him, for that is a dangerous business,
SO we had to stop again and drive him
away. Well, this thing occurred once or
twice more, and by the last time we had got
so close to the bridge that we were sure
the fool mule was going to try to cross it,
and we stopped again, this time cuss-
Ahs AhoAf e'h0 AaAAy PACPoAS0 w oAOOo
the mule if we got a chance. We
chased him right up to the bridge, and
then down over the field he went with a
bray and stopped all right in the road be-
low, and right ahead Of us on the bridge,
fastened down some way by his legs be-
tween the ties, we found that mules mate.
We saw it all then, and. by Georgel we
were tempted to take up collection from
the passengers on board for the benefit of
the mule which had saved their lives, for
if we had run in on that obstruction moth
ing under heaven could have saved the
train"
AS the engineer concluded his tale a
pious looking man in the far corner got up
slowly and started out.
II had very respectable sized lie to tell
myself he said YEARLY, "but Pm too par
alyzed to tell it this evening"" and the door
slammed to on his heels

beaver, mouffion and angora goat are
all used, with many more kinds. Any
thing that is fur is in style. Dresses are
made with wide bands of astrakhan
around the bottom, and with jackets of
the same, with sleeves of the dress ma
terial.
There is novelty called silk fur,
which is very pretty but expensive, and
many of the novelties in pattern dresses
have borders of this silk fur woven into
the fabric. There is silk trimming that
resembles ostrich feathers, and another
that is almost an exact imitation of real
astrakhan.
Among the newest things shown this
week are some novel varieties of net,
something like the Russian and fish net,
but handsomer than either. There are
several novelties, only shown in sample
however, of broche grenadines, which
Will be seen next season. These are in
all imaginable colors and some of them
are exquisite.
One would ,sve thought there could
not have been invented anything new in
the way of crepe de chine, but there are
several novelties, notably one where
there are downy, fluffy tufts of silk
woven into the fabric, like SO many
woolly little chickens. There are also
some lovely effects in stamped chiffon
and in clepon; these have very delicate
flowers family printed, and the whole
finished by scallop in buttonhole stitch
in the prevailing color.

is suited to all ages, and those for little
girls can be modelled from it without
difficulty. There is camel's hair plaid
that is very suitable for it.
The hood is so very simple in form
that a look at the illustration will show
how it is to be made, but this style is
not arbitrary. Amy style of capuchin
can be made that pleases the wearer
best. A dark red silk lining is very be-
coming, but bright yellow or dark green
can be used if it suits the complexion.
Today saw one of the children O.:
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who has just
returned from abroad and whose name
is Gertrude, with her cousin, Marguerite
Shepard, and noticed their costumes
particularly. That of Miss Shepard,
who is eleven years old, was of apple
green cashmere over ruby velvet, with
narrow Persian lamb trimming. Her
hat was faced with ruby velvet and had
green plumes to match the dress. Her
cousin Gertrude Vanderbilt is about the
same age, but smaller, and they look re-
markedly alike for cousins. B
Gertrude had fawn colored cloth
dress bound with narrow bands of Per-
sian lamb, and wore wide felt hat in
fawn and with shaded pink and cream
plumes. These were really gala dresses,
as they were going to visit little friend.
Ordinarily they are dressed palmer than
most of people would think worthy of
the fact that these two little girls are
heiresses to so many millions. Gertrude
has taste for music and painting, while
Marguerite shepard has strong literary
hopes.
Garments for children this season for
out of doors are fairly smothered in fur.
