simply made II il this that makes tho
summer girl 50 bewifching. She wears
her gingham with delicate grace and
perfect manner and 30 makes II seem to
De worth thousands She respects her
gowns. and thus forces other people 20 do
the same She Is - fresh and clean. SO
bright and CHEEKY in her dainty dress.
and manages 10 look 50 cool and refresh
Ing that IL is no wonder the summer girl
Is ten times more attractive than she was
clad in the somber garments incidental
70 winter days.
For the summer girl there Il new
cate colors in vogue. Tarlafan was in
fashion once before within the recollec-
ton Of the present generation. but the
colors were not 80 dainty. II can be
made up in two ways-with accordion
plaited skirts or with skirts covered with
bias hounces, with picked edges, or
hemmed with one row Of feathered edge
satin ribbon an eighth Of an inch wide
in the same color AN the material.
Tarlatan will not wash. but il can he
kept fresh for whole season by having
il ironed once in awhile. II il exquisite
ly light and airy, but makes better float
ing effects than clinging draperies- II
can be worn afternoons and evenings.
give here an illustration Of n wash
zephyr gingham. 1t is striped in half
inch lines Of pale blue and pink. made
with perfectly plain gathered skirt and
spencer waist. The sash is Of dark blue
velvet. ribbon faced with satin Of light
er shade. There Is lace half yoke in
front and back. and the short sleeves have
deep fall Of lace tied with blue velvet
ribbon The material in this dress not
costly nor Is the trimming. but the effect
is dresSy and pleasing.
Among other new fabrics there IL n
decided novelty in Grape challies. There
are stripes Of soft pinkish gray and old
rose, and over them are scattered flow
ers. violets and pansies. without stems
or foliage. but most natural In coloring.
This challis 10 fine and sheer. There is
another style in which the threads are
coarser and the weave plain and fat.
and this is generally in darker colorings.
but in whatever color or style the ma
terial is unrivaled for light wool both
in beauty of texture and design.
Now. little about spring and sum-
rner woolens. The number Of varieties
in each fabric is bewildering. and really
cannot be told without confusing the
reader, SO il is better 10 mention only
the principal designs. Cheviots always
take the lead for rough wear. shepherd
plaids and heather mixtures being best
liked for the young and solid oolors for
the older ones. Gray cheviot is particu-
larry well received this spring for useful
dresses. IL is In several weights. Next
to that are the serges and tweeds. Some
homespun il shown. Cloth comes first
for nice tailor made gowns. and so far
the preference Is for black. dark green.
seal brown and very dark blue. These
are trimmed according 10 the fancy Of
the wearer. Some viii have furs all
season. some Persian gallcon. some
bands Of velvet or plush. some bands 81
plaid velvet. and. in short. every one can
have what she likes best

Marble Made with E~lectrieity.

The latest achievement of science is
the artificial production of marble from
pure calcium carbonate.
M. ii. le Chatalier, a French chemist,
takes the calcium in the form OF an i'm
palpable powder and congresses it in q
steel cylinder between two pistons with
. pressure Of 1000 pounds to the square
Inch. While in this condition q platinum
spiral, previously imbedded in the pow
der, is heated by an electric current,
with the result that the powder In the
neighborhood Of the wire Is rendered
crystalline and translucent.
Sections of the resulting substance
when examined underneath q microscope
exhibited the characteristics Of certain
specimens Of slightly macled marble.
This remarkable work Of the electric
current may prove the stepping STONE to
greater achievements In the production
Of artificial stone Of all kinds.

One day the north wind breathed on q

itself into dainty crystals, and these
massed themselves into flakes and began

corning storm experiences, which was
o draw when it came time, as they were
grinding along in the teeth of the storm,
to turn In and 60 TO sleep. The next
morning, when all who had stuck to the
train found that . fresh snowbound ex-
perience was ahead of them, these trav-
elers were the most philosophical of the
lot, for they had learned by experience
that nothing could be done but to wait,
and that jack pots and smoking and
songs and veracious recitations OF per-
s0nal annals are excellent things to fall
back on when snow blocks the way.
Some Of the passengers growled, hut
none took things 80 much to heart as the
superintendent of the division of heroad
on which they were imprisoned, for q
heavy snowstorm meant almost super
human exertions on his part and the part
Of his subordinates. It meant ceaseless
vigils till the rails were clear again; it
meant broken engines and cars derailed.
demoralized schedules and kicking, COM
planning passengers, and expenses with
out limit almost to be charged against
the division in the main Office Of the
great trunk line, where, it seemed to
him, a lot of accountants were kept
solely for the purpose of casting up just
such unavoidable expenses.
The engineman and the fireman Of the
train, who found themselves somewhere
near daylight stuck in the snow in the
deep cut, were not so worried as the
''super" was at the division terminus,
and they took turns keeping the engine
alive and tramping through the snow
with the train hands to the nearby farm
houses for supplies for the passengers.
And between times they cheered mp the
young conductor with stories Of what
the wonderful modern rotary snowplows
can do, and related "reminiscences Of the
other days before the invention of the
r0taries, when they used TO try to clear
the tracka with pointed plows, behind
which . procession OF engines would
sometimes push their way through.
