An electric railroad ninety miles long IA to be
built "up In Maine" These roads are getting so
numerous In the Pine Tree State that it won't be
any trick at all to 10 up there after while and
stalk moose to stan tstill without having to
leave the comfortable trolley.-Boston Herald.
That is in one way very pretty re-
mark, but in another sense it expresses
that conception Tor rather, misconcep-
tion) which prevails in metropolitan CEN
tres, that Maine is such a place that a
trolley road anywhere in it must run
among the hauntS of the moose.

There has been a new introduction in the

tho woman of this period of good taste. who
has many opportunities to show it. Her civ
ilization is civilization. 1t is one Of
many occasions. There is so much to do, so
many places to go, much travelling. so
much visiting, so many occupations-golf,
tennis, the summer season, visits, parties
evenings and multiplied conditions of life
into every Of which the question of
clothes must enter.
To buy clothes for everything for every
separate occasion, would imDoverish any but
the wealthiest. For diversity nothing answers
so economically the shirt waist. But
woman, gentle woman, is always looking for
the better end of the bargain. IF the shirt
waist says she. lis good, then why not
whole suits, skirts well as waists?" And

answered willingly. Thus the American wo-
man has her shirt-waist suit.

easy to make skirt as a waist? And a great
sight easier. There Is less fit, though, Of
course there must he just as much art in it

Then there are new blouses of dotted, metal
printed and peacock printed velveteens. These
are heavier weight blouses and are substi-
tuted for cloth. flannel and other forms too
| heavy for summer wear. -
The velvets and velveteens used in these
blouses or separate waists are like in quality
to panne finish. They last better, wear long
er, and are richer than either cottons. silks
or fannels.
It will be revelation to London and Paris
to see these new blouses of American make,
but Of French and English fabrics, which the
days of the coronation will find in the most
frequented sections of European style centers.
While talking Of summer dresses, though,
it is quite we'll to remember that there is to
be a period of costuming not built upon sep
arate waists and skirts. The tendency of the
high style is toward the costume rather than
the separate waist for general wear and spe-
clay occasions. -~-~
The one idea is not to conflict with the 9TH

conflict with the dressy, artistic headwear of

Batu, and the village on the banks Of the
river Mindanao in 1872. This phenomenon
closely followed the eruption Of the vol
