BOUGHT FOR ERIE.
Belief That Purchase OF Leyland Line
Was Made in Interest Of Railroad.

NEW YORK, May lS.-The Herald
says:
Since the announcement few weeks
ago that ]. Pierpont Morgan had ar
ranged TO buy the Leyland line of ocean
steamships, there has been much specu-
iation as to what he will do with his
purchase. 1t is now the indication that
the transaction was made in the inter-
est Of the Erie Railroad.
Directors of the Erie Railroad who
could be seen last night said that If
the purchase had been made for the
Erie they had not been taken into Mr..
Morgan's confidence.
1T is Mr.. Morgan's custom TO do a
thing first and then tell of it afler-
ward" said Ex-Mayor Abram S. Hew-
III, who is a member of the Erie di-
rectorate.
The statement comes from an excel
lent source. The transaction is under
stood TO be the carrying out of a plan
for a land and ocean traffic system Of
importance.
Ever since the accession of James j.
Hill to the dictatorship friends OF the
Erie Railroad have been boldly prophe-
swing great things for It's future. Mr.
HUI was said to be an enthusiastic be-
liever in 1t and this fact and its re-
cent acquisition Of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company (anOther Of Mr.. Morgan's
deals) by which the menace of a for
midable coal competitor was removed.
have been the only arguments its we'll
wishers could use.
The enormous capitalization carried
by the Erie has not been an encOurag-
ing feature in discussing stockholders
prospects. 1t now seems that Mr.. Nor
gan has hit upon a novel plan for re-
juvenating the system. A great barrier
TO the successful competition abroad
Of American coal with English coal
has been the cost of ocean traffic. al
though our coal business abroad has
been growing despite this fact With
che Erie controlling a line of vessels
like the Leyland the export coal stu
alton might be greatly bettered

A Cruel BIunder.

Two brothers had the habit of calling
on the same South Side girl. One of
the brothers, George, was to take part
in some private theatricals, and the
girl had promised to fix up shirt and
a pair of shoes for his costume. The
articles were to be delivered to her on
a certain evening.
Frank, the second brother, took it in
to his head to call on the girl that same
evening. Frank knew nothing of the
arrangements George had made with
her to help him with his costume. He
rang the bell asked the maid to tell the
girl that Mr.. Allen had called and sat
down in the parlor.
The maid went up stairs and present
ly returned, trying hard not to smile.
Miss Jones says she is busy just
now and that you are to send up your
shirt and Shoes" was the message she
handed Frank.
"What" he yelled.
I'm to take up your shirt and shoes"
Thanks, but may need them my
self to go home with. hope Miss Jones
will be better in the morning. Never

Pnaing as q Model.

A curious feature Of a models occu-
patton is her posing for an artist who
is painting some one else. Wealthy
people are capriciOus and often do not
care to give long sittings. Therefore,
after the artist has caught the express
sion of the face, he will call in a model
to pose for the figure. Some models
do not care to do this, as part of their
enjoyment of their occupation consists
in seeing themselves reproduced on
canvas, but there are others who are
quite willing to help fill out.
Various models have various points
of excellence, and often painter will
employ at different stages in the prog
ress of his work from three to four
models for one figure on his canvas.
One model is known for her coloring,
another for her hands, another for her
hair. An artist generally notes in his
address book the characteristics of
model after her name. These quota
lions are taken at random from an
artists address book: Zine young
Jewess," English, tall and slim, blond,
costume;" Good back" Good figure,
short legs, ivory tone."-Cosmopolitan.

CARE OF LACES.

Iron lace on the right side first, then
on the wrong side to throw up the pat
tern.
When putting lace away, fold as little
as possible. A good plan is to wind it
round a card, as they do in the shops.
When ironing laces, cover them with
clean, white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
lace.
Use contour instead of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm and does not detract from
the lacy appearance.
Laces and other delicate trifes should
be placed in a muslin bag before being
boiled. This prevents their getting lost
and torn in the wash.
After getting up" laces do not leave
them to air in a damp PLAYGROUND
the fire when the kettle is boiling, for
instance This robs them of their fresh
ness and makes them look limp.
All laces before being ironed should
be carefully pulled out, each point re-
ceiying attention. You will be repaid
for your trouble, as the lace will look
twice as nice and last clean a much
longer time.
