about them. There are some just plain

at revers. Others are richly trimmed
with braid in various designs Some
have fancy Jokes and button at the
sides. A few have silk sleeves. or jer-
sey sleeves, finished with pufs of vari-
Gus sorts. Some have velvet collars and
cuffs, and others are richly garnished
with jet and passementerie. The most
of them are of cashmere woven WOOL
but there are some silk ones and good
many thick fleece lined ones. These lat
ter are deliciOusly warm and coy. And
in every way a jersey waist is a comfort.

Oh, the tea gowns and ball dresses
that I saw today I am sure I shall
dream of them for a week and that
they must have been dreamed in the
first place. These are more beautiful
than any I ever saw before, even those
to which I can now look back through
the misty haze of rememb rance. There
was one in a grand store. The whole
gown consisted of two parts. The under
portion was a dress of taffeta of a de-
cate ivory tint, with magnified PIN
pernels scattered over it widely. The
waist was gathered top and bottom, the
neck being finished with "a gathered
stock of pimpernel velvet The belt was
also of this velvet and richly draped,
with a butterfly bow at the top. The
sleeves reached but to the elbow in a
most graceful, dropping puff. Over tt 3
dress was a rich black MORE surtOut,
hanging open in front, in a deep plat
on each side. 1t fitted at the sides, and
at the back fell in two trumpet pIaits
from the neck to a demitrain in one IN
broken sweep. There was a wide peler-
inc collar made of superb brOoade in
white and maize. This was slashed in
the back to allow space for the folds,
and it was bound all around with black
fur. This gown could easily be copied
in other and less expensive materials,
always keeping to the unities in color
and fabric.

BUST FOR M'KINLEY.
Ohio Sculptor Making One of Heroic
Size for the State Capitol

Columbus. O., Dec. 2S--Captain J. B.
Allen, clerk of the supreme court, has
received a letter from Wirk Leland. for
merly a resident Of Athens and an Ohio
boy who is making a great reputation
as a sculptor. Mr.. Leland writes from
Carara, italy, where he is now at work.
He asks Captain Allen for the best
and latest photograph of President
elect Mckinley for use in work upon
bust of Mckinley which he is now MAX
ing.
The bust is to be larger than life-in
fact, a colossal bust of the finest Carara
marble. In letter Mr.. Leland says
he would like to have this piece of stat
uary placed in the capitol of his native
state as a sample of his work. He does
not feel able to present it free, but viii
ask to be recompensed only to the ex-
tent of the actual cost to him To or
der il made in italy would cost $1,000
at the lowest. but he will make it for
$500. Tt is suggested that the Repub-
lican clubs Of the stae might wish TO
honor the president-elect in this way.

Railroad Building For the Past
Year Was Small,

New railway enterprises were among
the chief sufferers from the continuance
of the financial depression during the
year now drawing to a close Early in
the year when the return of prosperity
seemed near at hand, new railways
were projected and new building began
10 increase.
If enterprises which were undertaken
had not been checked by the financial
uncertainty attending the presidential
campaign, at least 2, 500 miles OF new
track would probably have been added
to the mileage of the country. From
records kept by the Railway Age it
appears there We're built only 1900 miles
of road. In several cases work in prog
ress was stopped by failure 10 obtain
the funds which had been provided and
if times get better many of the unuhn-
ished lines will undoubtedly be com
pleted during the coming year
1t is curious coincidence that the
mileage of new track laid in 1896 IS al
most precisely the same as that in 1899
which corrected returns showed to be
], 500 miles.
The construction work of the last
year was well distributed over the coun-
try, IS Of the 49 states and territories
having a share, although in some states
it was exceedingly small. Kansas, for
instance, showed only fraction over
a mile.
The largest mileage was in California,
1856 miles on eight lines, followed by
Louisiana with 154 miles on five lines;
Michigan with 146 miles on IL lines;
Georgia 81 miles on Il lines; PennSylVa-
mia 80 miles on IS lines, Florida 70 miles
on seven lines In IL states and terrific
ries no track was laid.
Since 1887 new railroad construction
has dWindled down from 1883 miles TO
i SO2 miles this year. The railway mile
age of the United States is now a little
more than lS2 500 miles.

Who Spoiled a Union Depot for a

Some times towns have made grave
mistakes in their management of rail-
road getting. One, little city in Kansas
wanted a union depot and the securing
Of it would have made the place much
larger than it is. Three railways enter
the town They run side by side for
a few miles in each suburb and in the
business part of the place the tracks
spread out until there are several blocks
between the depots. When the bonds
have been voted the roads tried to buy
the land on which to pass through the
town
Near the proposed site of the depot
was small lot owned by a lumberman
and he asked SIS 600 for it, thinking that
the roads must have it. They offered
him $4,000 and when he refused. they
arranged to spread the tracks. and so
the town stands in the ridiculous posi-
ton of being on a gridiron. when it
might have had all the business con
centrated at one point The lumber
mans lot is for sale at $500 now, with
