The Dress Suit Case For Women.

Every one knows that tho dress suit case
has become tho fashionable fad for all
women to carry. Tho dainty littlo vaisos
that held almost nothing that was service
able arc rapidly obsolete with
the woman who knows what sho wants
and how to carry it on n long journey. In
short journeys too, the dress suit case
serves good purpose College girls were
the first ones To start this fashion. They
found 1t of incstimablo advantage in be-
ing ablo to put IA llmsy dress, with its ac-
cosscrics, in the dress suit case and run
ming to town when going to spend an
evening with their friends 1T saved tho
40 cents that the exprcssman charges to
bring in package AS for small valiscs,
II Is impossible to get anything in ono
that will serve overnight for party or
even dinner. Therefore tho college girl S
dress suit cnso has become tho thing
After II few Of those trig looking colegi-
ates camo into town with the natty green
or yellow covered cases, with its brass
lockers every woman began to get them,
and now 1t Is tho most ordinary and most
useful thing for IA woman, fashionable or
economical, who finds the price of ono in
her purse to have one of these cases among
her baggage.
There is ono trouble, however, with a
dress suit case rs it stands. 1t is this-if
you are travelling and put all your silver
articles and toilet bottles in this affair,
unless they are wrapped very carefully
they arc apt to DO jumbled up and become
scratched and may DO broken. The small
vnlise had thai trouble for few years,
and Immediately design was mado by n
leading jewclcr for leather compartments
TO hold each brush or piece of silver or
bottle. Tho price Immediately went up,
but tho convenience was inestmable. For
now that every woman travels with her
silver toilet articles it is impossible to put
them in heap and not have them severe
ly dcfaccd, and as for wrapping zach in
paper or in handkorchiefs that is entirely
inconvcnient, to say nothing about its
looking ugly and untidy when one opens

Hints on Plain Sewing.

In doing over seams one trouble Is that
tho needles and thread used arc likely to
be too coarse. They make n rough and I'M
slightly seam and aro difficult to smooth
out In laundering. In taking in the seam
include not more than two threads and set
tho stitches close together. Never make
knots In oversenming. Draw tho thread
in, leaving half or threo-fourths of an
inch, which should DO turned SO that tho
following stitches will fastcn 1t down
firmly. In running seams IL Is well for
the inexperienced noodlowomnn to haste
or pin the work securely. A very strong
tendency exists to slide ono piece of tho
goods beyond tho other, and in some goods
the finish ends will lack at least an inch
of being even. Indeed this is ono fault
with the sewing of all beginners, the diff
Guilty of keeping the pieces of material
oven while sewing. 70 obviato this it Is
well to basto them carefully, taking pains
to pin them all along the line before the
basting is commenced
Gathering is easy II one only knows how
to do it. Run strong thread with even
stitches and make either very large knot
or tic "a bit of cloth to tho end of the
thread so that it will not pull through.
Now push the gathers all up against the
knot, wind tho free end of tho thread
around tho little finger Of tho left hand
take tho knot and few of tho first gath
ors between tho thumb and first finger of
tho left hand and hold them firmly. This
brings tho bulk of tho goods toward tho
right hand. Now tako hold of tho goods
with tho right hand about ono inch below
tho gathering thread and pull II gently
hnck and forth, at tho Same time rolling
tho gathered edge between the thumb and
fingers Of tho other hand. Thon move tho
right hand fingers along to take in IA new
portion of the fabric, moving tho left hand
SO as to correspond, so that the two hands
pull tho cloth in straight lines. After "A

this and is able to adjust gathers very nc

Interesting Marriage Statistics.

That tho average woman, say in Now

AT tho ago of 20, 46 years can be demon

seems to DO that ono widower in three and
ono widow In four try wodlock q second

IN will DO widows.
Out of every 100 weddings 10 minors
will marry, and all tho minors but ono
will DO spinster in her teens. Men mar
'ry at 20.5 years and women at %, i6 on
tho average. This might prove that bach
ciori are moro cautious than spinstcrs, but
1t Is no doubt due to the fact that girls ara
regarded as marringeablo at rs Or II and

every 100 spinsters that marry are between
20 and 20, 22 are between 25 and 80, and

RECCoO OF ING ohlEL
Fay window on Wheels That Fits Through
Pennsylvania Coal Regions.

Pennsylvania Coal Regions.
/ Fitting through the anthracite coal
regions of Pennsylvania in % bay window
on wheels at 40 miles an hour has been
the occupation for % years of Conrad
Bower, engineer Of the Ariel. This little
engine consists of closed car about %
feet long. The front half is like glass
bay window, with four large, comfortable
revolving chnirs upholstered in leather.
The rear half contains the motive power
that propels this fawn colored, trim little
car all along tho Reading railway, from
Philadelphia to the coal reg ions and from
New York to Williamsport, wherever the
officials OF the company desire to go. For
10 years Engineer Bower ran the Gem,
similar engine, up to ls73 and then took
charge of the Ariel
1.-The Ariel, said Engineer Bower "has
carried many distinguished men, includ-
ing railroad presidents, statesmen, foreign
noblomcn, the Nauderbilts, General Simon
Cameron, Judge Packer and Mr.. Walter,
the editor of the London Times, who, by
the way, paid our little bay window a nice
compliment in his paper when he got back
home. l did not keep ngister or auto
graph book. The head officials might not
have liked 1t. You see, sometimes leading
ness, and they do not wish to be known"
During the Mollie Mcguire riots the
Ariel was much in demand. At that time
President Franklin B. Gowen Of the Read
ing railroad, who took the lead in the
prosecution of the murderers in the coal re-
gions, did n great deal of quick travelling
from his Office in Philadelphia to the coal
regions, 90 miles away. He went up and
down the road almost daily for months,
using the Ariel always, with Engineer
Bower in chnrge Those were dangerous
days for the Reading railroads president,
as there was no telling what deviltry Of
the Mollies would lead them to wreck tho
Ariel and kill the man who had determined
to destroy their organization. Said En-
gineer Bower:
"Mr. Gowen was one of the bravest men
ever met. Cool headed and shrewd he
knew no fear. In daylight or darkness ho
took his seat in the Ariel, and away we
went He never drew the curtains of the
bay window, but sat fully exposed as we
flew up and down the road l never knew
him to carry revolver. Frequently took
Mr.. Gowen out into the gloomy mining
patches. We stopped at some out of the
way place here and there and picked up a
strange man who rode with President
Gowen some distance, in close CONVERSE
ton, and then left the Ariel as mysteri-
ously as he had appeared. l must have
carried that strange man go different timos,
but 1t was not until the great murder
trials began in the coal regions that
knew he was the famous detective Mo-
Parlan, who did Mr. Gowen S secret work
among the Mollie Maguires. AT one time
/ waited Mt Locust Gap while Mr.. Gowen
was at Sunbury. While waiting Pat Hes

but, getting no information from me, he
