many slurs as to the general uselessness
Of the government weather forecasts, l
scornfully reflected on the folly Of a
federal government which threw away
money in supporting such q depart
ment.
But when ! left the Office for home
| two hours later the snow had ceased
falling the sun was sinking in a blood
red western sky, and the wind had
veered around TO the northwest. Yet the
prediction which had seemed SO inacCu-
rate at o'clock and which had been
so fully verified at had been made at
8 o'clock that same morning. when the
western born rnOwstOTm was now upon
us and promised to the eye of the lay
man to last for "a hours, if not longer.
Then ] revised my opinion Of the
weather bureau, or, rather, tossed
overheard my secondhand projudices
voice my apologies and watch him at
his weather making. l did it, too, and
now l have a deep respect for the
weather prophecies Of Uncle Sans OBJ
servers.
The weather bureau has been in ex.
istence for nearly 40 years. and during
every year of that time something has
been added toward perfecting the sys-
| TEN, i'll the way Of better methods, i'm
proved instruments and the employ
ment of men of higher education and
skill. Yet nine men out Of ten today
are more willing to pin their faith to
the quakings of an aching bunion or
the half forgotten doggerel which did
duty in days gone by.
But just you watch the workings Of a
weather bureau for one day and you
will not feel so much like sneering at
the daily forecast. In the first place,
the popular idea that the weather sharps
have an easy time of it, with short hours
and little work, is mistaken one. The
three word forecast which represents
the sum total of their labors for l2
hours is something more than half a
guess. 1t is not made by simply glanc.
ing out Of the window or reading the
barometer. 1t represents the results Of
the labors Of hundreds of men, each one
specialist in his line and each equip
ped with costly and accurate instru-
ments whose names the ordinary man
has not heard.
To reckon just how many men were
directly concerned in the work Of telling
you that tomorrow will be clear and
cold is not practicable. Tho number
may be roughly estimated, however, at
about 400 These were assisted by some
thing like 400 others, messengers, tele-
graph operators and the like, who de-
vote only part Of their time to the work
of the bureau.
Work in a weather bureau begins
early in the day. By 7 80 a. N. all the
force is on hand and active preparations
are made for taking observations. At
every station i'll the country the same
thing is being done, for the weather rec.

cutaway blouse Will he seen on the wheel
as soon MS the season opens The cycling
garments show as wide n diversity as the
other garments. The blousos being cut
away around the neck and in front allow
the shirt waist to show. Some show chem
isottes of white linen, with COLLAR and tie
others regular shirt waist of gingham,
foulard, tatfcta or some other preferred
material. Regular vests with chemisettes
are very stylish with the loose open blouses.
In wraps the newest are the empire and
diroCtOire shapes for cloaks. The redin-
gotes are very stylish and altogether hand
somer than ever before. i think 1t Is to
them that we own the presence of the
"drcss imprOyer" or hustle that has now
apparently come to stay. To fit and look
well in the back 1t is necessary to have a
little extra fullness below the waist line,
The bTOadcloths for these graceful gar
ments are in mouse, silver gray, invisible
green, drab, tan, dull heliotrOpe and gray
with a faint pinkish tint. They are fin
ishcd with absolute perfection.
The empire and direotoire styles require
artificial stiiiening in the lapels and seams
and the collars. Fcatherbone is sewed
along the seams and in the lapcls, giving
them the requisite strength without stiff
ness. There Is now also Il new lining made
of shredded featberbone, which Is lighter,
frmar and preferable every way to the old
horschRir crinoline. This is used TO face
skirts and to stiifen any part of garment
requiring such treatment. There are nc
sharp hairs to work through and make
one uncomfortable while wearing a gown.
There are many novel designs in SOU
tache and other braids which are sewed tc
cards all ready for application. BTaidina

From now until Lont there will be
many occasions for handsome evening
gowns Every store and private establish
ment is crowded with them. They may be
divided into two classes-those Of light,
airy fabrics and those Of rich and sump-
tuous material. The first is for the young
and the second for the matrons young and
old.
For dancing classes for young ladies we
find every thing one can imagine In thin
stuffs, beginning with barege and ending
with tulle or chiffon. There are nets, dot
ted mulls thin silk muslins and even crepe
lisse. The one idea and object Is to get the
material SO that it is very transparent.
One design had pale rose taffeta un-
derskirt with the outer one of white silk
muslin. There were 10 narrow ruf1les, in
clusters Of flve, four and three, each bound
with pale rose satin baby ribbon. The
upper ruflie on each cluster was Spanish
heuded. The bodice was In blouse shape,
with wide sash of pink taffeta with a
white null rufllo oil around it. There were
no sleeves, but bertha composed Of three
narrow ruilles formed an apology for
sleeves. A large bunch of artificial violets
was placed at the center of the corsage and
another was provided to carry, but 1t is to
be supposed that these will be replaced
with real flowers when the gown is worn.
There Is a very light dotted point esprit
lace costume which is very pretty when
nicely made. One of this kind had the un-
derskirt of white taffeta glaoe. There were
six ruffles of the same stuff, each three
inches wide and cut on the straight. These
ruf1les were all accordion plated. The up
per one had triple putting of the same as
narrow as 1t could be made. On each side
of the front breadth there were four ro-

even fire weather Jurcau has need OF II
man with strong muscles a cool head
and iron nerves.
About twO years ago, when New York
was entertaining a EoistGrOus western
visitor in the shape of a November gale
of unusual strength and ferocity, some
thing went wrong with the wind gauge
of the local weather bureau station.
This gauge was fixed at the top of 80
foot pole which rose from the very
pinnacle Of tower on the roof of one
of the tallest Of She Broadway build
ings. But it was important that the
gauge should be fixed The wind veloci-
ty, which was the most interesting fea-
ture of the storm, could not be recorded
unless it was So one of the forecaster's s
assistants, putting on pair of climb
ing spurs, went to the top of the tower,
tied himself loosely to the staff, to pre-
vent being blown off into space, and
climbed the pole.
Once at the top he clung on for five
minutes before he was able to dc a
stroke Of work, The sleet laden gale cut
and the swaying Of the pole, as it bent
to the fury of the gale, made him gid
dy. But at last he recovered his nerve,
made the necessary repairs ON the gauge
and climbed down, to collapse as soon
as his feet touched the roof.
But, of course, that was an unusual
case, Ordinarily the men who take the
readings Of the outside instruments
meet with nothing more than temporary
discomfort. Still there is occasionally
some little excitement when two men
are sent up in the height of a storm to
hoist the hurricane signals.
Even in ordinary weather the observ-
ers must work quickly and accurately.
The two thermometers, the wet and dry
bulb, are read and noted on the spot.
The government does not trust to the
memory of any clerk, so the observer
carries notebook and pencil in hand.
Then the records of the rain gauge, the
wind gauge, the self registering ther-

result is sure to bo liked
A dainty shepherd check taffeta had n
full blouse whist with self belt and how
and full skirt, with one bias ruf1le at the
bottom, headed by shlrring and footed
by an edge of lace. AT the neck there was
an inset Of lace and tucked muslin. This
was made moro conspicuous by the ruf1le
and shirring around II, which gave the
appearance of wide collar ard sleeve
caps, while there was really nothing but
the ruffle.
There was novelty In tailor gowns In
one place worth mention. The gown was
Of mode wbipoord. The skirt had ten rows
Of narrow cording the whole length. The
basque had its form brought out not by
darts, but by the same kind of cording In
graduated length There were rows of the
cording also on the sleeves and five rows
In the back. 1t may be supposed that 1t
required a mester hand to make this dress.
A curious way to close basque was
shown here. There was strap with two
rows of silver buttons on 1t.
Plaid is growing in public favor, and
one sees 1t everywhere, even in bathrooms,
for some of the new light stuffs are barred
In colors or white Some Rrays have fine
Earrings of canary or burnt orange yellow.
Some of the new cotton mixed taffetas are
plaided in light colors. There are dozens
on dozens of lightweight wool and wool
and cotton or silk stufrs for spring, and
they have more different styles of plaid
than can tell, but l notice that there are
fewer clan plaids than fanciful ones
wrought by fine stripes broken lines and
tufted lines
The tweeds with tartan facings for golf
ing and other outdoor rough usage make
an exception. These are always clan plaid,
and so are the beautiful shawls. The
shepherd and pinhoad checks are extreme
ly popular. Tho new wool diagonnls and
cheviots are as n general rule in very light
tints. The Scotch tweeds are called the
best In the market for rough use. Next
come the priestly crayanettes. These have
the additional quality of being water
proof, and thcy nro handsome.
Coverts are being made up in large
numbers for cutting and street costumes.
For bicycling coverts, crayanettes and
tweeds will be Che first choice. For cold
days the suits made Of ribbed velutina In
dark colors are very comfortable and GER
tainly handsome. The blouse vest and
