WHAT FASHIONABLE

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Midwinter
fashions are at their height now and
rapturously beautiful The novelties
introduced for Christmas and New
Years will be the last of the season
to be declared, for after the HOLIDAYS
the fashions for Easter and spring
Will absorb Dame Fashions interest.
Indeed, few very advanced go-be-
tween styles have already been re-
ceived from abroad. These gowns
are inteded for use during the period
elapsing between the discarding of
winter clothes for those of spring,
but are designed and executed with
the same care that marks the modest
OF full season.
1t is safe TO predict that white will
increase in favor and enter the new
year without rival. 1t is really SO
chic. There is a particular member
OF the Smart Set who affects it al
most exclusively and sometimes she
affects a touch of soft brown which
melts into the hazel of her beautiful
eyes.

The centres are of brown chenille,

The round neck is finished with
folds of white silk embroidered with
rich brown French knots. The
shoulder straps are of silk tied in but.

At this season when everyone
seems .mbued with the merry spirit
of yuletide there is great demand
for decorations in holly and mistletoe.

that they can be easily removed when

The newest designs are carried out
IN the sheerest of sheer materials

tions, but there are imitation silks
which are just as effective when one
wishes TO economize.
1t cannot be claimed that house
dresses are simple. Indeed they are
all fuss and frills. Yards and yards
of lace and ribbon are used to trim
them. and the lace must not be too
inexpensive or 1t will spoil the effect
OF the design. 1t is better to have
rufiies of sheer material edged with
lace than a mass of cheap lace frills.
Elegance is leading note in the
scale of fashions, and while limitations
are permissible. they must be of the
quality that will do justice to the ar
ticle duplicated.

THIRTY KILLED IN WRECK
AND TH|RTY-F|VE INJURED

LONDON, Ont. Dec 27.-The west
bound Grand Trunk Pacific express,
having right of way. crashed head
end into freight at Wanstead last
night Two baggage cars were tele-
scoped into a smoker filed with holi-
day tourists. Thirty passengers and
trainmen were almost instantly killed
and 35 injured
The freight should have been
switched to allow the express to pass.
The blame for neglect has not been
hxed. The express was running at
an unusual rate of speed while the
freight was making slow headway.
The express consisted of engine, two
baggage cars, smoker, two coaches
and two Pullmans. The smoker was
completely destroyed, the sides push
ed out and roof raised which fell
upon the imprisoned victims. Here
the greatest loss of life occurred.
The wreckage caught fire, but hard
work on the part of passengers extin-
guished the flames by carrying snow
in coats and hats. They then turned
their efforts to rescuing the wounded
whose sufferings were vastly increas-
ed by zero weather. Physicians were
hurried from here to the scene of the
wreck by special train.
All of the injured live either in the
states bordering on the lakes or in
Canada.
Thirty eight corpses have now been
taken from the wreckage.
Ihe passenger was the Pacific ex-
press, No. s. west bound 1t was run
ming at high rate of speed and the
freight. which was proceeding east
under slow headway was to have
taken the switch at Wansted to allow
the passenger to pass. Apparently
neither engineer noticed in time to
avoid the accident, for the two en-
gines came together at the west end
Of the switch with frightful crash.
