The railway sandwich, that old-ti1ur
object of the shafts of the wits, has
come into notice again through a reduc-
ton in price from 10 cents to 5 cents.
Hare times is supposed to have re-
drced it to this necessity, but after all
Is said there will be those to regret this
downfall of an institution as old as
green lanterns and contemporaneous
with the phrase ''Tickets, please" AS
n matter Of truth, no one thing has
been more vilified than the railway
sandwich, unless it may be the mule.
The railway sandwich has always been
is good as any other sandwich Of COM
merce. Any one who buys a sandwich
ut any price and eats it expects to be
attacked by indigestion. The sand
wich of any kind is the very corpse of
food stuffs. 1t absOrbs a cool. clammy
moisture which is suggestive of
morgues, and under any circumstances
it lies upon the stomach as heavily as
good putty. The only u for it's
existence is that it is filling and indi-
gestible. AS to the railway sandwich,
however, it Is no more culpable than is
the newest sandwich in the newest Of
new city cafetiereS. It's chief use 1T
railway stations has been to protect
passengers on trains from the influ-
ences Of dining cars. To the traveller
III modest circumstances it has always
been q godsend. On a limited train
which will stop only for water the Or
binary travellers appetite is worked up
to a pitch which suggests ca%nnibalism.
Tc satisfy this there is the dining car
at ST a meal-Or the railway sandwich
at some junction where the train stops
just long enough to take on the United
States mail. Hard times force down
the price of railway sandwiches? No
MAJ ever ate one without saving at
least 70 cents, ever when he paid 10
cents for it. 1t is an absurdity. The
logical thing to do would be to raise
the price 5 cents and make the sand
wich just a shade more indigestible.
Eating stations with the most approved
cuisines could make only dyspeptics of
customers who are in mortal dread of
Il train pulling ~ and leaving them:
therefore give us the railway sandv
WITCH without carping and put the price
back to 10 cents.

FANTALET HAS COME BACK,
A Fashion of Our Grandmother's Is
the Latest Novelty for Women

s"N - AL
P~artalets are again TO be at the
height of fashion. Pan.alets of pre-
cisely the size and cut I 1T were Worn
two and three generations ago, when
u grandmOthers had not learned to
wear rainbow-hued silk petticoats and
thought that an occasional glimpse, jul
diciousiy revealed, of a pantalet
fiounce answered the same purpose,
are now being made up as fast as busy
hands can cut, sew and w~OndrOusly
bedeck them. In vain they have been
protested against as an incongruity.
the revival of the pantalet means the
renaissance Of the hoopskirt, with all
its untold wealth Of circumference, in
deed, almost the entire rehabilitation
Of the feminine form. Nevertheless,
the unwelcome garments are thrusting
themselves into vogue, and the only
reply to objections is that if the pres
ent styles in underwear do not conform
to the pantalet, new styles must be
adopted, and that speedily. In short,
the pantalet has come to stay, if only
for a season..
Observing persons will note that the
boomer has paved the way. If the
boomer sensation had not been so loud
and so enduring the pantalet might
never have been heard from again.
AS it is, the pantalet, being an elabor-
alton and extension Of the bloomer, is
making a sensation correspondingly

large. Now. it is safe to say that the
bloomer will not be heard from for
some time. Women who make a point
Of keeping abreast Of the fashions are
already wearing pantalets. In a month
they will have become established as
a fad. In length the p~antalet extends
to the boot top. Its ~fullness is con-
s%iderably less than that Of the bloom
er. Thus it will be only with very
short gowns, chiefly worn by young
girls and children, that these novel
garments will be noticeable. The first
young misses to appear with gayly
trimmed pantalet founces will doubt
less attract some attention., but they
are leading the fashions.
