Rw BICYCLE COSTUME FROM HARpRR,s Bazaar


in the front, but the fiat buttons are
concealed under stitched fly at each
side of the opening.
The jacket is of the plain material,
the plaid forming the inside, and being
used upon cuffs, lapels, and pockets,
jacket dips slightly in the front, and
is quite short in the back. The value
of the box-sleeve in bicycle costume
is especially to be observed, since it
does away with gathers in which the
dust may settle. The only ornamental
ton, on this costume is the stitching
about the Tapped seams, and the three
horn buttons which are seen on the
left side. With little ingenuity the
purchaser of this pattern, which is
published exclusively by Harper's
Bazaar, where the costume appears, may
vary it so as to present quite u different
appearance from that of the present
illustration. The skirt may, for in
stance, be made of plain red and
trimmed with deep plaid fold at the
bottom, or the length of the jacket may
be varied to suit individual taste.
To make this costume, as shown in
illustration, for person of medium
size, il will require 4ls yards of double
faced material, 81 inches wide.

TIE WEEK IN WALL STREET
Gradually Improving Prices
Have Been the Feature.
SOME SENSATIONAL ADVANCES
The Continued Ease of Money
Is Assuring.
Some OF the Stocks That Advanced IN Rates,
London Continued a Moderate Seller, But
the Market Was Buoyant to the End,

New York, Feb. 1S.-The confidence
of the speculative and investing public
was reflected in gradually improving
prices since business was resumed after
the. triple holidays. Sensational ad-
vances were made by New York Air
Brake, which rose 11s4; Third Avenue,
1913; Metropolitan Street Railway, Q.
Burlington led the Changers with d
rise Of 115s, while other standard shares
also made material advances ranging
up to three points in Pennsylvania.
Central Pacific made net gain of
three points, which was the largest
among the Pacifics.
The active coalers aud industrials
made good gains. The unfavorable in
depreciation of the banks decrease in
surplus reserve and increase in loans,
the expected decrease in earnings tenn
porarily because of the snow storm and
the death of the President Of the
French Republic, were treated with
more or less indifference, speculatively,
and prices continued to rise.
The continued ease in money despite
the large absorption of returned Eu.
ropean holdings of American securities,
was taken as being reassuring. With
the rising tendency of prices the volume
of trading increased yesterday for the
first time in the week, approximating
the million share mark.
The prominent feature of the week
was the absorption of Burlington at
advancing figures, which movement
was only temporarily halted by the
announcement that the directors had
not acted upon refunding scheme.
London continued moderate seller,
but the market left Off last night
buoyant at the best.

Sad Plight of Colored Woman During
the Recent Storm.


Among the sad incidents in con-
nection with tho recent storm may be
mentioned that which occurred at the
home of Mrs. George Fernandez, colored,
near Red Lion, about 10 miles below
this city.
George Fernandez, with the aid of
his vito, acquired about 40 acres of
fine farm land and for some time made
good living. Vile was i'll for some time
with heart trouble and ON Monday week
died. At the time of his demise there
was no other person in the house except
the wife. She could not find anybody
to go for help and the storm, increasing
with great fury, would not warrant her
going out.
The storm grew worse and she found
that the snow was piling up about her
home, especially at the doors and win
dows. She had hoped for the arrival
OF friends, but as the clock struck the
hour of midnight she decided to give it
up as hopeless. The nearest neighbor
lived nearly half mile away and she
was unable to get out. She went to
the second story of the house and then
discovered that the snow had reached
to the second story windows. In the
rear of. the house she was enabled to
soc through pane of glass that had
not been covered up with the snow and
saw that the fields we're a stretch of
white as far as the eye could reach.
During the day her supply of fuel
was noticed to be fast running short
and she decided to attempt to find
some more. After opening the door and
an immense bank of snow falling in
upon her she managed to tunnel to the
coal shed and secured a fresh supply
and was enabled to keep warm and
COOK the small quantity of food neces-
sary to keep her alive.
She then kept her sad vigil. On
Thursday she heard the welcome sounds
of voices near the house and hoped that
succor was near. After two hours from
the time that she heard the voices the
rescuers were enabled to reach the
woman. She had been alone since
Monday. To make matters worse the
rain had caused the roof to leak and
the water had flooded the room where
the dead body lay, to the depth of
several inches. The. rain also poured
over the corpse and nobody could be
found who would assist the woman in
the removal of her dead to place
Of shelter from the rain. She was
therefore obliged to lift the burden
herself and carry it to another room.
Finally word was sent to Delaware City
and the undertaken was able to arrive
at the house the next day and took
charge Of the body.

1t is astonishing how much the out
lines of golfing, bicycle and outing
dresses change each year. The DIFF
ference is so great that the new effect
of this seasons costumes will be i'm
mediately observed, and yet there is
little change in the general description.
A Jacket and skirt still comprise the
costume for the wheel; but tho shape
and length of these garments are ma
terially altered. The tendency of the
skirt is toward increased length and
decreased width. The double.faced
plaids are the favorjte materials en-
ployed both for warmth and for beauty.
They come in very brilliant colorings,
with plain sides Of brilliant blues and
reds and ruddy browns, grays and
light tans. The materials out of
which tho original of our present model
was formed was Sandringham rcd on
ono side; with reverse in which
white, blue and green played a large
part. The skirt is of the plaid, and
is in three pieces, the front, and two
side breadths which meet under very
slight pleat in the centre of the back,
where narrow straps ornament and hold
the pleats together. The skirt opens
