An interesting railroad bill was intro

portions of the State, though there is
only a few minutes difference in the
schedule of the trains of two railroad
companies, passengers arriving at certain
points on one road, and DESTROYS of TAX

several hours before they can proceed on
their Journey. The measure offered by
slm cGmpels connecting roads to so ar
range schedules as TO make their trains
connect. and If one is a little late and
has passengers for another the latter,
upon Geographic notice, must wait.

EASTER GIFTS FOR CHILDREN

Easter novelties abound where TOYS and
candies are to be found. They are de-
light to the children and a pleasure to
those with more years to their credit,
since they are either pretty or amusing.
In many cases they are beautiful. There
is, for Instance. Ferris wheel, with the
cars full of candy and the rest of the
thing daiptily outlined in rose cuttings
of pink chiffon. 1t costs SIS without the
candy. These receptacles are rarely al,
ready filled, since the purchaser prefers
to pick out his or her own particular sort

TOUCHES FOR SUMMER gown.


The shoulder collar of needlework, fine
laces and embroidery, appears on many
of the new spring frOcks, which are being
made ready for the Easter parade. Some
of these have revers, others have none.
The square lapels on the shoulder are eX-
tremely handsome. Occasionally these are
doubled, one below another until the
shoulder collar almost assumes the pro-
portions of an open lace jacket The
square on the shoulders is happily COM
bined with long N-shaped piece Of
tucked taffeta, pale blue, rose, a hello
