DificuItieS on q Trolley Ride,

To the Editor of TIE Evening Star:
We took ride over the trolley line to
Forest Glen yesterday, and after the regu-
lar trip breakdown. which necessitated our
leaving q pleasant open car and being
crowded into close Ill smelling swayback,
We reached our destination in safety.
AT o'clock p. m. we boarded car for
the return trip. A bevy of students from
the seminary came aboard also. One young
lady Of this party was still on the bridge
which spans the glen when tho time for
starting arrived. The teacher who chap
erone4 the party appealed to the conductor
to hold his car for a moment, explaining
that this particular young lady desired to
take the Old Point steamer, and to miss this
car might seriously discommode her But
our conductor. with punctilIous regard for
time which might have been cxcisable in
the commander of royal blue flyer, pulled
the bell and we were off. When we reached
the first switch below Forest Glen our ear
came to dead stop and we waited full five
minutes until tho upbound car came along.
During this wait the girl We left behind
us could have reached our car at the Glen
station, with four minutes to spare But.
here again the conductor might fairly plead
that 1t was through no fault OF his that
the up car was late. The real funny bust
ness of the trip. however. was still ahead
of US. As tbs two cars approached the last
mentioned switch their conductors engaged
In a noisy dispute in order 10 determine
which should take the others time" This
dispute was continued for some tine after
the cars came to stop. There is an eie-
ment of uncertainty attending most debates
which carries the beholder In an agreeable
state of expectancy on to the end. Rut
there was no such delightful air Of uacer-

has hand painted purple orchids spring
ing from clusters of green leaves. The
lines of this especial negligee are ex-
ceptionally fine as glance at the illus
tration will show The sleeves of ell
bow length sport tassels, as does the
daintily geared fichu festooned about
the low, round neck.
If one of the fortunate possessors Of
an old fashioned Grape shawl, the pos
sibilities are great for fashioning at
home negligee of surprising beauty.
A friend recently utilized a black one
in manner SO entirely original and
satisfactory that l shall have to de-
scribe it. First of all, she made a cher
ry colored taffeta slip cut V shape at
the neck, with sleeves falling a trifle
below the elbow. Over an accordion
plated foot ruffle fell a black net,
slightly putting through the velvet
bands, while around the edge a grad
uated frill measuring two inches at the
narrowest point and SO at the deepest
hung Imply Now for the master
stroke! My friend simply folded back
one corner of the square shawl until
the point fell below the waist line, Sc
cured it to a tape hidden beneath the
folds which had been shirred into rop-
er fullness to produce pointed train,
draped the extra fullness across the
shoulders and made slit through the
body of the shawl large enough to fit
the armhole of her taffeta slip. In
this wise two ends fell gracefully and
freely down the front The heavy
knotted fringe and embroidered corn
ers were displayed to extraordinary adj
vantage. Such garment might east
ly cost $50, yet at an expense of 81
any home dressmaker with Grape
shawl may. if she chooses, reproduce it.

or black and white was one lovely thing
with black lace drapery falling from

and / noticed more rosettes about the
trained skirt The joy of such gown
is the impression it conveys, to say
nothing of its absence of definition.
1t is not wise plan to have ones
autumn tea gown at all reminiscent OF
the summer toilet because of the obvi-
Gus inference such a scheme suggests.
That is why black lace one, covered
with moonlight spangles, was, I
thought, a satisfactory choice. The
new spangles are absolutely unlike the
old sequins and disks. They are more
beadlike and of many sizes, some like
beetles wings and others of the old
bugle shapes that used to figure in
handsome fringes and are doing so
again.
Over moonlight blue satin this
spangled lace was beautifully effective,
and down the back the satin was al
lowed to show without any covering,
though the front of the dress was fully
draped, falling from a square decol-
letage like a child's dress. The sleeves
l liked. Naturally, they would have
been of elbow length, with flowing an
gel wings dependent, but these were
unnaturally tight to the wrists, even
to the fingers, and there were tiny gold
filigree buttons laced across with s eel
on the other side of the arms. The

trimmed in leagues of ethereal laces.
1t is pleasant and profitable to consid-
er the tea gowns now being presented
to u.s. However, these dainties are
quite costly, and really are divided in
to three distinct families-morning
robes, which may mean either bath
gowns or loose, shapeless slumber
coats; boudoir negligees, clinging, I'M
pretentious affairs which are the acme
of seductive grace, and the stately silk
en- things known as dinner negligees.
Nowadays, too, it is perfectly permissi-
BILE to receive ones gentlemen friends
in negligee attire. House gowns are
what the name would indicate and are
no longer regarded as sacred to the
confines of milady's boudoir. Any
woman is most fetching in fluff and
frill, and she may congratulate herself
upon the privilege Dame Fashion gr nts
to frame her face and figure in gar
ments so adorable.
One negligee over which a little
group of women went into ecstacies the
other day was of cream colored drap
d'ete. 1t is half princess in shape and
the entire garment is composed of
thread tucks widely spaced. A broad
Roman velvet border of dull green
figured in red brown and tan tints out
lined a three-quarter box coat effect.
Below this a flowing fiounce submit
ted to the tuck treatment formed a
train. Lace encircled the neck and
sleeves and fell in cascade down the
front. The unique sleeve with folded
cuff above the velvet border, really the
only bit of elaboration in its construc-
ton, suggested the usual amount OF
attention given to sleeves this season.
First, upon the bodice was expended
the excellence of design and workman
ship, then came the glove fitting skirt
for greater effort, and now the sleeve
appears as an example of nadames
best endeavor.
