Storage Battery Cars Successful.

Not much has been heard lately of the
storage battery car, but it has not been
abandoned by any means. The Madi-
son avenue line, in New York, is about
to use it in an improved form. In their
new cars the battery will not be carried
in the cars but on a detachable truck
underneath. Three storage battery
lines are running in Paris and one in
Birmingham, and the system has been
found entirely satisfactory in power
and economy. One Of the European
cars runs seventy miles on one charge
of battery and lows an ordinary car,
giving in all seats for 100 passengers.

BEAUTTrUn. ARMENIAN WOMEN

The women of Armenia are exceed
ingly attractive in their youth, but
constant exposure TO the weather
makes their complex ions bad in later
years. From fourteen to twenty five
they are beautiful, their skins being
fresh and soft like an infants, and
their eyes large and tender. They
have also fine hair of IL blue black
color that is most becoming. They
wear costly stuffs of brilliant hues,
adorned with fine embroideries. Both
tho men and women wear wide trous-
ers and jackets, but the women add .
trailing robe-like overdress, which is
drawn up on one side in shawl shape
A jaunty cap covers the hair. 1t is
embroidered in gold, and large veil
is thrown over it. All wear a chain of
coins, which is the National ornament.
The ladies OF Smyrna wear flashing
jewels, and present a magnificent ap-
pearance when walking in the sun

keepers, in spite of their love Of per-
sonal adornmont. They marry young,
and are devoted to their families. -

to be worn for spring gowns, and
wooden goods, in canvas and basket

Braiding remains n very fashionable
trimming. 1T is too effective to be

very often done upon strips Of colored
velvet or heavy satin, which are then
applied in various ways on gowns OF
self-colored cloth.
Round waists will continue in favor
through the coming season, except,
perhaps, for stout women, to whom
they are not very becoming, and all
sorts of beaded yokes, spunsled and
finished on the edge with Jet caboch-
ons, are used for their decoration.
A simple and stylish bodice can be
made of soft silk felled into the belt
back and front. The neck is cut low
and well Off fro3n the shoulders in the
Victorian style, and it is edged with n
bertha OF lace. A band of ribbon ex-
tends from under each arm to the
shoulders, where it forms rosette
A black velvet cape is elab orateyi
embroidered with jet, and has fringe
of Jet and silk strands. The fringe is
