A Locomotive Is Almost as Carefully
Groomed as Race Horse.
Running the Fast Express" is the
title of an article by George Ethelbert
Walsh in st. Nicholas Mr. Walsh says:
The engineer comes down to his post
of duty nearly an hour before his train
is scheduled to leave All night long in
the roundhouse the engine has been
carefully watched; q wiper has spent
the whole night rubbing down the pant
ing, snorting iron horse until every rod
and cylinder shines like gold or silver;
the banked fire has been kept going, so
that little steam has been always in
the boxes, and before he left at night
the fireman put everything in perfect
order inside the cab. The fireman APP
pears first in the morning and inspects
the work of the roundhouse men, and
if any part is not satisfactory he makes
IL so. The engineer makes his inspection
after the fireman and thoroughly and
carefully examines every part. All the
bearings are then oiled, and the oil cups
are filed with oil. Next the engine il
run out of the roundhouse and tested.
Fifteen minutes before the time to start
the engine is coupled to the train, and
the steam and airbrakes are tested.
No race horse was ever brought to his
post better fitted for running the course
than is the locomotive of the fast ex-
press. In addition to the tests already
made, mechanic goes from wheel to
wheel, and upon every one strikes
sharp, resembling blow to ascertain If
the wheel and axle are sound. Nuts and
bolts are examined. The engineer and
fireman are held responsible for the per
fees condition Of the engine and cars DO
fore the start is made

with several different oolored fronts or
without color, it serves the purpose of
three or four costumes, and satin OF a good
quality IS always serviceable.
Velvet toilets are much worn this sea-
son, especially for calling and for reeep-
tions, and fur is the preferred decoration
for them, skunk, sable chinchilla and
blue fox being fayorites
The seams of skirts and bodices are often
concealed by an embroidery of jet, metal
or silk or ara covered by bands OF narrow
passementerie or braid.
In spite of the tendency of skirts to be
trimmed, some of the newest costume
models shown by the greatest Partisan
modistes have skirts which are absolutely
plain.
Black satin, trimmed with steel en-
broidery and white lace, Is fashionable
fancy which has a rich effect
Embroidered collars and embroidered or
ieweled belts form often the principal
front of the ornamentation of bod1ees of
cloth OF velvet
For wraps for operas and balls the most
magnificent fabrics are employed, trimmed
In the most sumptuous manner with en-
broidery, applications, fur, lace, plaitings
md ruches of gauze or velvet, Jeweled
clasps and buckles being used as decora-
lions also.

Vers of plain blue velvet embroidered with

ifest it by absen5ing themselves from the
lodge meetings or by making unkind re-
marks against the successful candidates,
or resorting to questionable efforts TO Grip

discharge Of their duties, do not exemplify
in very high degree the spirit of Odd
Fellowship, nor do they follow the golden
rule teaching. To have an honest and
worthy ambition to rise in the order is
eommendable, and to succeed is gratifying,
bus if defeat turns us away from the lodge
or causes bitter feelings toward the Sue
cessful rival, then our Odd Fellowship
means nothing more than q selfish ambi-
