The Canadian Pacific Back of u New
Line of Road.
Chicago. Nov. 20. The Evening
Post asserts that Chicago is to have a
new line of railroad, connecting it
with the Pacific coast. 1t says the
Canadian Pacific company is building
a line into this city from the North
west to connect with it's 500 at Su-
perior, and by that line with its main
system. The construction of the new
line has already been commenced.
The work, it is said by the Post, is
being done, apparently, by other aus
pieces than those of the Canadian Pa
citic, and in such a way as to permit
the management of that line to deny
automatically all connection with the
new enterprise until it is ready for
operation. However, says the Post,
the Canadian Pacific Is back Of the
enterprise. and will furnish all the
means necessary to build it, which
cannot be obtained in other directions.
The corporate name of the company
which is constructing the new road is
the Chicago 4 Lake Superior Railroad

Madison is president, and ]. O'Con-
nor of the same city. secretary. Iron
is now being laid between Cambridge
and London. and surveyors are con-
tinuing the line from Cambridge to

pleting the road to Fort Atkinson has
already been let to the Western Con-
struction company. which is doing the

others a wrap think pelisse sounds best
Recently-that is this week-tbere have
been shown q few choice and tasteful tea
and evening gowns, and they were
marked by an extreme simplicity which
at once stamped them with true elegance
One was n plain taffeta in soft lemon tint.
| The skirt had n narrow straight ruffle of
the same, surmounted by twisted rope of
the taffeta The waist was full in slight
/ blouse effect, with wide belt of the same
The sleeves were quite full puffs, reach
ing to the elbow, and we're covered with
printed gauze. There was q simulated
lace figaro Down the front, covering the
whole of the waist, was fall of white
silk null and reaching exactly to the bot
tom of the skirt. Another one was Of
shrimp pink taffeta, cut in princess shape,
the skirt quito untrimmed. There was u
square yoke of figured silk, and from this
fell loose drapery of white crepe lisse
Another formed "a vatican down the back
These two long draperies of lisse yelled
the whole figure and gave q beautifully
slender effect This gown had puffed
sleeves dropping considerably below the
elbows, and from there on the sleeve fitted
snugly. Narrow stocks, with white lisse
quillings, finished both of these dainty tea
or reception gowns. There was hand
some gown there also intended for recep-
ton, dinner or ball. This gown was made
of heavy brocade, the cOlors being shell
pink and pale tan, with black outlines
The bodice was of shot satin, sublime in
old rose and mauve. The belt was laid in
three folds, each one full inch deep The
front was gathered toward the center and
there held by n cherry velvet bow and
three pink roses. Around the pompadour
neck were three more, but narrower folds
In form of u bertha. The sleeves were sim
ply worry full rufilcs of white lace ten
inches wide. 1t was very handsome
gown, and u very useful one, for the
bodice and skirt were diff rent. A high
necked velvet hasuuine # rich chestnut
brown was designed to wear with it when
high dress was desired The bow waist
was also expected to do duty over tullo
skirt
Speaking Of tulle skirts reminds me of
very dainty fancy in this daphanous
fabric There was dress having tho
foundation of mat white satin; over this
there were three other skirts, one of blue,
one pink and one white The tulle, of
which they were made, was of even length,
so that the effect was changeable one,
the prevailing tone being like the evening
clouds.
The new spring jackets are highly orna-
mented, but are very handsome. One in
black wide vale cheviot is cut snug, but
not tight, and is made very short wasted
The back is laid in fiat plaits, and from
under them comes an embroidered belt,
which ends under triple loops of velvet
just above the natural waist line. The
front is faced with velvet, which extends
to revers at the top. There is "A wide
medici collar of velvet, made with sharp
points. All down the front there is vel
