Dear Sir: Porterhouse so much
neck. so much all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe lead and
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants
the neck the between some say, is
good enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more
than between. Lead and oil is be-
tween it is the old-fashioned paint.
But zinc has come in. Zinc toughens
white lead. Devoe lead and zinc is
the paint.
If you paint in three years you do
it for looks. Devoe does not wear
out in three years.

time Ago, but Have NOT Arrived.
The work on the new railroad to
the quarries of the BessemeT Lime
stone Comnany has received a serious
set back by the delay in the arrival of
the rails. The road bed is about
completed and ready for the rails
Consequently the work is almost at a
standstill. Almost all of the work
men have laid off until the rails arrive
and only a few are now at work fin
ishing up the road bed.
The rails were shipped weeks ago
and if they had arrived the time they
were intended to arrive the road
would have been now almost com
peted. About fifty tom Of the rails
are being held in the Cumberland
yard and on accoun of the heavy
traffic on the Baltimore & Ohio they
cannot be gotten through.

and Citizens 10 he April Fooled.
The sounding of the fire alarm Sun
day night shortly before eigth o'clock
thinned out the attendance at the
churches considerably and caused some
little excitement for a time. The
cause of the alarm was a fire in the
chimney of the house occupied by
the family of Mr.. 5. S. Rind, Win
chester avenue, .owned by Abraham
Lloyd. The fire lighted up the whole
neighborhood and gave every appear
rance of being a big blaze. Before
the fire bell stopped ringing the blaze
was out, having been extinguished
by water being poured down the
chimney.
A similar fire was the cause of a
like alarm about a year ago.

To feel NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is

another.
Don't say the latter is laziness-it
isn't; but it's a sign that the system

needs the tonic effect OF Hoods Sarsa-

Between the rows of tuckfng. running up

ennes lace. Across the bust the tucks are
released, but are resumed again at the
waist. which is pulled down long in front.
The skirt part is the thing of marvel.
This is fitted. not only over the hips. but
down the skirt: and Is so narrow at the
knee line that you wonder how a woman is
to move in it. Then comes the fare, that
wonderfully effective foot flare, and the
of the underneath laces. The foot
flare Is SO full that the laces fairly cascade
aEound the feet. and there are pillows OF
chiffon plaitings, and rustlings of silk, all
coming from below this foot flare. Above
1t. all is fitted snug.
The effect Is wonderfully artistic, giving

BY spring we shall all be wearing capes.
A cape worn by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, who
is still the leader Of the smart set, was in

When she laid aside this cape she showed
a very neat suit in black ~taffeta. with the
waist laid in a series of box plaits, all CT
different sizes. with the widest plat in the
middle of the front. and all gradually grow
ing narrower toward the back. In the mid
die of the back. under the buttons, the plat
was very narrow. while the buttons were
large turquoise ones trimmed in silver.
Beautiful New Buttons.
Much attention Is to be paid to buttons
this coming spring. A set Of buttons will
be as highly priced as in the days of Queen
Anne. when they were heirlooms. They
are beginning to appear as works of art at
WedgewoOd, in enamel, in rubber, in wood
and IN the pearls and metals. Sandalwood
buttons are considered very smart for out
ing suits, and can be made as large as one
desires.
