Progress of Siberian Railroad.

Russia's Siberian railway is making
rapid progress despite the tremendous
obstacles in it's way 1t has been def
nitely decided that the branch which
is to run south from the Vladivostock
line to Port Arthur will leave the main
road at Tchita, 400 miles east of Lake
Baikal. The Russian engineers have
given up the idea Of running the line
around the southern corner Of this lake.
Instead, the cars will be run on to fer
ries and transported across. Powerful
steam iee-breakers have been con-
structed to keep a passage clear during
the winter months. The line is practic-
ally completed from Europe to Irkutsk.
and well appointed trains with dining
or restaurant cars are run regularly
From Tomksk to Irkutsk three trains
are run each way each week, and the
traffic is sufficient to meet expenses.

WESTERN WONAN'S
WAR LUNCHEON.
Epigrams of the Spanish War Which
We're To Be Guessed By the
Guests. for a Prize.

No short war ever produced better
epigrazEs than the late Spanish war.
Our heroes, in the face of shot and
shell, gave voice to utterances as IA
nous as Perry's, Don't give up the
ship, boys" or Grants, 1--WE have met
the enemy, and they are ours"
A Western woman has collected these
epigrams, and, at a luncheon recently,
she distributed them among the guests,
to be answered. The answers were
written upon paper, and passed up to
the hostess. There were twenty-five
IN ali, and one woman guessed twelve.
She received a marble bust of Dewey
wrapped in an American flag.
That same evening the Ques lions were
put to company of men, none of
whom could guess over ten.
Among the epigrams from the
tongues of naval and war heroes were
these:

outlined with inch-wide lace; and then
having a full ruff1e of organdie below.
Many of the organizes. particularly
the white ones, are to be worn over
silk transparencies in pink, blue or
primrose. But many of these are worn
over one or even two white organdie
petticoats- And for such tiny girlies
it does seem to be in better taste,
though many cheviots, cashmeres and
heavy wooden frocks, sent out by the
children's outfitters on Fifth avenue
are lined throughout with silk, even
for tots under ten.
SAILOR SUITS.
Boys will don sailor suits more than
ever; and one mother who has always
been complimented on the charming
styles she adapted to her little son, has
what might be considered and called
"a lead-pipe cinch.''
She has found an ex-sailor. formerly
on enc of our cruisers, who is willing
to turn tailor and make this lovable
little lad six white duck suits for the
Summer. They are just like our men
wear he gravely explains only the
trousers are short. But this band on
this arm means an apprentice, and this
the fo'castle watch, and this is the cox
swain S whistle" Even the lacing across
the back of the trousers and large
square of silk tied under the collar, are
Identical with our gallant tars.
The short trousers are seen entirely
on the new suits for boys, whether the
craze for golf or the tendency OF bag
ging at the knees, have chased away
the long trousered MILDLY suits, Is a
question.

tended for rougher wear; and the
dainty guimpes are made of finest
tucked lawn with lace insertion.
A FRENCH STYLE.
A very Frenchy little frock was of
pale blue organdie, covered with sprays
OF trailing arbutus. The full blouse
was almost covered by the full berthe
which was edged with three rows of
bebe ribbon, the same shade as the
organdie.
The skirt was composed of two full
ruff1es,. equal depth, showing the rows
of bebe ribbon. The guimpe worn with
this was of sheerest lawn, tucked and
showing val insertion.
A dress of nickel challie was trimmed
With bands of finely embroidered null
VIDE reVers of the challie were en-
brotdered with sprays of flowers in
white silk, turned back on a shoulder
showing a vest of challie crossed with
bands Of null.
The little skirt was cut with cores
and the front gore continued around
the skirt in a circular ruff1e, headed bv
a band Of the embroidery.
Another frock with an elaborate skirt
trimming was of white organdie. with
punches of pale yellow primroses. This
skirt was scant to a little above the
knees, ending in large diamond shapes
