Are You Going Abroads

IF you are going abroad be sure to select
the Lackawanna Railroad as your route
East. The terminus of that line is within
two blocks of the docks of the ocean liners
operated by the Cunard, Hamburg Ameri-
cam. White Star, North German Lloyd,
Netherlands American, American, Red Star
and French Lines. To the traveller, often
encountered with luggage and accompanied
by his family, the advantage of landing so
near his point of embarkation is at once ap-
parent. Not only is the Lackawanna Rail
road the most convenient line to the piers
of the great Transatlantic Steamers, but
the comfort of its patrons is the special
care of a Steamship Agent who will be
found on the docks of all the principal
lines. From Chicago three through trains
are run daily in connection with the Nickel
Plate offering service unsurpassed in lux
ury and convenience. From St. Louis there
is also through daily service in connection
with the Wabash Railroad.

Taffeta again takes it's place as favorite
lining for skirts and bodices. The rustling
effect of this weave of silk became so uni
versal that ultra-fashianoble women es-
chewed it on that account, electing for
soft-clinging noiseless silk or satin-the
firm well-wearing American surahs being
greatly favored. These silks certainly last
much longer than taffetas, but taffeta
soyeuse is pronounced more reliable than
any weave of the kind yet produced, Owing
to the new sort of leaves the voracious
little silkworms devour before they begip
TO weave their small wonderful white
shrOuds of silk about them. 1t is the gentle
swish of these fabrics that most women
like prOclaiming the silk lining as the wear

tive elegance 10 the simplest gown or cos
tune. This faint frou-frOu is never. how
ever, TO be cOnfOunded with the terrible
rattle that so many cheap silk Innings pro-
duce. Their wearers seem TO imagine that
it has the effect of a rich taffeta, but never
was greater mistake made. The sound is
as offensive and Objectionable to many
ears if the RATHER of the skirt blew a
