A Woman Railroad Manager.

American women are pioneers in

the respect of the electrical fraternity
by her skill, and several women col
lege graduates have taken up the call
ing of electric-light designing. But
we cannot claim the distinction of
having the first manager of an electric
railroad. This is left for Siberia. In
all that vast tract of country there has
not yet been q single horse street
railway; but an electric line is now be-
ing built in Vladivostok, town Of
10, 900 population, on the Golden Horn
Bay, which is to be the terminus Of
the Transsiberian Railway now under
construction. 1t is said that Nine.
Zehof, to whom the duties of manag-
ing the line are intrusted, is q woman
of decided business ability and good
purchasing agent; and, although sur
rounded by staff of clerks, she
keeps close watch on details. Vladi-
vostok, which is thus to lead the way
in street railroading in Siberia, is the
chief naval station of Russia on the
Pacific Coast. 1t was founded in
1861. Its name is derived from vladi,
to have, and vostok, the Orient, a
title which must have az ominous
sound to Japanese and Chinese ears.

Grecian Costume Extinct.


The picturesque national costumes
of Greece are nearly extinct. They
enjoyed q temporary revival last
spring during the short war when
charity entertainments were given in
Athens for the relief Of war sufferers.
At such functions the women ex-
pressed their patriotism by appearing
in Greek gowns. Queen Olga on sew
eral occasions wore the national CO.'S
tune. Her ceremonial robe is Of rich
purple silk, embroidered with gold.
With it she wears q crimson and gold
fez, an article of headgear that long
since became as thoroughly character
istic of Greece as Of Turkey. A long
veil of India silk muslin is draped
loosely about the head, but it is never
worn so as to hide the features. Clas-
sic draperies have not graced the forms
Of Grecian women for many genera
tions. The so-called national costume
is really Albanian. 1t is still worn to
some extent by the peasants. 1t con-
sists OF skirt Of heavy white cotton,
or sometimes of yellow wool, with q
deep border of course, but very effec-
tive embroidery in red and green.
Over it is worn cloak of the same
material reaching almost to the knees.
The cloak and sleeves are made stiff
with embroidered bands. The apron
Is also embellished with brilliant EN-.
broidsry. The head is wound in Z
white scarf. Bangles for the head
and neck are worn in the eastern man
per. The veil Is often replaced by &
bright yellow handkerchief tied under
