An enterprising fashion writer tells
us that before her marriage the duchess
of Fife had very small dress allow
ance- about 81 800 a year. Besides
yachting and every day dresses and all
the usual costumes required by girl
of the upper classes, royal princesses
have also to wear the costly and ella b.
crate dresses which their rank de-
mands at the weddings of their near
relations. They are. however, for
tunate in having stores of beautiful
laces, priceless furs and marvellous
jewels, all of which can be used again
and again. On the whole. ii may be
asserted that frugal princess may
spend as little as $4,000 year on her
dress while her more wealthy and eX-
travagant sister may find her dress
bills amount to ten times that sum.

The new theatre which Messrs Hay
man and Davis are now erecting in
Jackson boulevard will be called The
Illinois. After many names had been
proposed and their suitability thor
oughly considered, The Illinois was de-
cided on by a majority of those inter-
ested in this new theatre for Chicago.
From every point in the state, as well
as from prominent people in the city
of Chicago, Manager Will J. Davis has
received congratulations upon the hap
Ply selection of the name. Those who
at first objected to the name have.
after consideration, come to view it
with favor. and il is now almost be-
yond the question of a doubt that the
beautiful structure will be known
throughout its existence as the Illinois
Theatre.

Consolidated rurnpikes.

Editor Virginian- Pilot:
The bill to consolidate all the turn
pixies around Norfolk Is measure of
much more than passing interest to
this community. Under competition
we are paying much less than the toll
rates allowed by our general laws. For.
merly family carriage going and re-
turning over the old Indian Pole
bridge. out Church street extended
(Which was then only n bridge COM
pany, and did not keep up the road.
paid 90 cents toll, and this rate was
only lessened by the establishment of
the rival Cottage Toll Road. which
competition it is now proposed to stine
we hear murmurs about the turn
pixies not paying the owners well. and
mat shells, &C.. are high. At present
the average truck farmer pays 81 per
acre each year in tolls-Quite a tax on
the industry. Norfolk county collects
about $4,000 annually for road taxes.
about half of which comes from Tan
ners Creek district. With this and the
increased revenue from the ferry 1t
looks as though we ought TO be able to
get some free roads.
Another feature of the matter Is that
while we can always get rid of the toll
routes by parallclinE them Gas was done
in the cases of the Brambleton and Al.
lantic City bridges), nevertheless as
they occupy the most convenient routes.
1t would doubtless be desirable In flu
ture to condemn one or moro of them.
IL one or two of them, as at present
constituted. were condemned, the rest
would be improbable. and would soon
be abandoned to the public But il con-
soltdated they would become a unit.
and the public WOULD have to pay for
all. II one or two were taken. Surely
the public are not called on to mulct
themselves in this manner! Trusts are
organized to make money in several
ways-ostensiby by saving expenses,
but more frequently by raising prices.
we are only too well aware of the alb
sence OF redress as to the latter. Let
us have no turnpike trust!
