Carr about two months ago. Eight
miles of new track have been laid and
the cars are now running all the way
through the city east and west. The
hrst run was made to the Norwich Lock

New equipments have been ordered for
this line, which will arrive in few
days, and until that time a car will
make three runs every morning and two

ployes OF the West End industries.
Inc hrst trip was made on tho Frank

days cars will be running on this street
regularly. The old horse cars that
were formerly used will BIO kept for ia
pairs, while the old rails and mules are
now for sale.

For the ovcrgaiter you will need only

And then turned to the young lady
who had given me all this information
and asked her if there wasn't something
sn the way of knitted work that could
be patterned and prepared ut homo.
Why" sho said, you can knit any,
thing from q pair of suspcnders to q
sweater" And then she went on to-
give mo oil the intricate details of knit
ting pair of suspenders. 1.-THE sus-
pender should be knitted with the very
best knitting silk, used double and in
coarse steel needles. The beginning
should always be mt tho crossed ends,
and fourteen stitches should be cast for
each suspcndcr. Now divide the stitches
into halves to form the button hole.

buttonhole of the size usually seen in
suspcndcrs Then slip the stitches all
on to one needle again and knit back

Divide the stitches once moro and mako

Now put the stitches again on to ono
needle and knit back and forth six
times, increasing one stitch at the end
OF each row, which will make the num-
Der of stitches twenty"
But, reverting to other styles aside
from these knit goods, which IRE as a
rule n great test of patience and perse-
verance, was struck with pretty de-
sign for neglige shirt which can be
made at home with ease 1t is dcvcl-

from gathers at the top and bottom,
and the back is slightly gathered ut the

ished with wristbands, and n narrow
band completes the neck. The closing
Is made with studs, and Piccadilly
collar and Madras four-in-hand scarf are
worn
White flannel is chosen for the blazer.
The fronts roll back in soft lapels that
meet the rolling collar in notches; and
they round gracefully toward the back,

Here was an idea at any rate, and
followed it up. 1 went to the leading
pattern houses and found that the
demand for "gentlemen's wear" pat.
terms had grown to such an extent with.
IN the past year or SO that designs are
now in stock for everything in the way
of wearing apparel except o dress suit,
frock or a sack suit, derby or q sill
hat.
One of the neatest things to be made
at home is the sash vest or Gordon sash.
The materials favored for the vest ara
serge, satin, silk, cloth and Bedford
cord. The sash may be made Of corded
silk, surah, or faille. The five pieces
shown in the cut are reduced patterns
for both the Gordon sash and the sash
vest. The two belt sections are the
same tor both. and the Gordon sash il
put on the lining in folds, as shown by
the notches on the ends; the plaits
should be turned upward at one end
and downward at the other, to give
soft and pretty effect 1t is we'll to cut

The sash vest has tuck at the oen-

with welt, are inserted in each side OF
the belt The small rings on the pat

When you begin to figure ON the cost
of the material for one of these vests,
its cheapness strikes homo at once A
