Trains That Never Stop Running.

A new system by which passengers
may be taken on or from trains with
out the necessity of stopping has been
recently devised by an ingenious engi.
neer, who proposes to exhibit his plan
at the Paris Exhibition of 1900.
This feat is accomplished by means
of a moving station platform. The in
ventor proposes to use for the purpose
a circular disk, the outer circumference
of which is to travel at the same rate
of speed as the passing train. When
entering the platform from a staircase
in the centre there will be no danger,
since the speed at this point is COM
paratively low, nor will it be felt much
when going toward the edge of the
turning platform, for the increase in
speed is gradual and anticipated.
The inventor has already gone so far
as to calculate that the railway COM
panies of Europe would save some
thousands yearly by abolishing the
notices, "Wait until the train stops"

Waist and Fancy Bolero.

Many of the newest and most
charming gowns are shown in various
shades of gray. The waist portrayed
in the large illustration is carried out
in pearl-gray tatfeta figured i'll red
which forms the waistproper with a bo-
lero of cashmere in the same tint. The
decorations consist of black velvet rib
bon and marrow gilt braid arranged
in trefoil effect. The hat is of braided
straw adorned with wild flowers, rib
bon bow and rhinestone buckle. The
waist has q foundation lining having
the usual number of seams, double
bust darts and closing in the center
front. The material Of the back lies
smoothly across the shoulders with a
slight fullness at the waist collected IN
gathers that are drawn well to the
center-back. Smooth under-arm cores
join the back to the front which is
smooth-ftting across the shoulders
and bust, falling at the waist in slight
blouse effect over a crush girdle that
is deepest at the center-back. The
fanciful bolero is included in the right
shoulder and under-arm and
closes invisibly on the left shoulder
and under-arm with the full waist
which also closes at this point.

White the Prevailing Color.

White is very much worn this sea-
son, andwhite gowns of almost any ma
t~erial, if properly made, are sure to be
a success. White grenadines appear
among the dressy costumes at the
fashionable summer hotels. One un-
usual model has three graduated
hounces Of white silk on the skirt.
The bottom one, gathered over an
other of white silk, is the widest, and
each one is finished with o narrow frill
of white glace silk, which is in turn
edged with a tiny rufae of white chif-
fon. Another pretty gown is Of white
gauze over rose glace silk. Around
the hips a few inches below the waist
is one row of cream lace insertion, a
little distance apart, run to the bot
tom of the skirt, both front and back.
The bodice of gauze is tucked cross
wise; insertion outlines a square at
the neck, from which vertical bands Of
insertion extend to the waist.

black, while the hat of rough red straw

The blazer shows dartless fronts,
straight backs, which terminate in IN

As to Binder, he had zone to see some
relatives beyond Dsepford. He did this
once q month, and made a sort Of holiday
of it. Dacre would surely find him at the
Deepford tavern, on his way home,
about ten o'clock that evening.
Then the woman grew curious, and
ventured q shrewd query as to what
made humble Sam Binder in such de-
mand, as Dacre departed. Why! he was
the second one inquiring for Binder that
day. Another mar had been there only

Big Demand For Linen,

There has been q wonderful demand
for linen of every tint and quality this
season. Both men and women find
the material so ~serviceable that the
quantities that have been sold have
surprised even the merchants them
selves. Formerly there was an objec-
ton against linen on account of its
propensity to shrink greatly the first
time it went to the laundry. Now this
difficulty is removed, for all the best
qualities of linen crash and linen
homespun are shrunk before they leave
the hands of the various manufactur-
ers.-New York Post.

Serving Dinner without a Maid.

This is, of course, a difficult task,
but it can be done if thought is given
to the first arrangements. Have but
few people-it is better to have two
small dinners than n large one.
Prepare the soup, which should be
clear, the day before. Clarity, season
and strain it; cover and keep in a cold
place.
A simple menu would be the follow
Ing: Soup; PANIED chicken with cream
sauce, potato croquettes land peas; a
tomato m~ayonnaise, waters and cheese;
lemon jelly with soft custard and
sponge cake; o small cup of strong
coffee to close.
Your dinner hour is probably six
o'clock. After you have finished your
usual morning work, and parlor and
dining-room are in order, go to the
kitchen and begin the preparations
for the dinner. First, make the may
onnaise, using only the yoke Of one
egg and O half cupful Of oil with a tea
spoonful of lemon juice or vinegar.
Put this, when finished, into atumbler,.
cover and stand in a cold place. Then
wash the lettuce, shake it and put it
aside. Scald and peel the tomatoes and
stand them in the refrigerator. Then
make the jelly and custard and put
them on the ice. Next make the potato
croquettes. While the potatoes are
boiling, SINCE, draw and cut up your
chickens. Arrange them at once in
the baking pan, putting the butter and
pepper on, and stand them aside.
Make the croquettes; fry, and put
them at once into a baking pan lined
with pepper. They are now all ready
to run in q hot oven to heat a moment
before serving them. Shell the peas
and make the butter balls. All of this
preparatory work will take very little
more than ON hour.
