suddenness of the change? But the
trouble has been that the admirers of this
fashion were so convinced of it's becom-
ingness for themselves that they over
looked its obvious disadvantages. for
scantily built women, so all along have
been blind to the plain signs of the times.
All this isn't written at sight of one
new skirt, or of one new type. While
the newcomers have a common future in
that all show fullness at the hips, the de-
vices for gaining this are numerous, and
are increasing rapidly iii numbers. Among
those that have appeared are some that
are very pretty, and nearly as many that
are quite ugly. 1t is fortunate that the
season of thin summer goods is not very
far away, because thin goods will make
up in the new styles far better than will
heavy materials. Some models have the
fullness, and there is a generous supply
of it, too, shirred all the way round in
shirrings about an inch apart and reach
ing well down over the hips. Other de-
signs have the front breadth plain, the
fuilness gathered several times in the
other breadths.
Another type of new skirt shows. in
stead of gathers, side pleats turned to-
ward the back, with pleated back; but
In some way or other fullness is pat in.
Often the pleats are stitched from a few
inches to a foot and a half down the
skirt, and this style looks better than the
gathered sort, as the stitching holds the
pleats in place and makes the whole look
trimmer. The right-hand gown of the
second picture was of this type. and in
blue etamine. In rear view in the next
picture is a pleated design, in dull blue

As TO coats, a woman may follow her
own taste as to whether it shall be loose
and baggy, or belted in. About as many
are seen OF one kind as of the other.
Where belts are used on fur coats they
generally are of heavy white betting silk

of these pictures was black ehantiily over
white silk foundation. The lace was
outlined with jet beading, and jet orna-

At the neck the silk was cut away, and

was characteristic of tine modes, which
tend to so much enrichment of lace that
it seems that the delicate web would
break away at a touch.

Public Pays the Freight.

According to statistics compiled by
experts employed on the financial jour
nails in New York City and approved
by the officers of several railroad COM
panies, the increases in wages for the
past year and one-half on railway lines
foot up $43,000,000 The wage increases
already made embrace about two-thirds
of the 100000 miles of American rail
roads. Several roads are now revising
their wage scales to meet the general
demand for an advance, and it is esti-
mated by expert railway accountants
that the railroads will enter upon the
new year with not less than S50,0OO,-
900 added to their payrolls.
But this figure will be met and, like
the collection of taxes in China, enough
extra will be added to pay well for the
trouble. For the past month traffic man
ayers have been recasting their freight
tariffs so as to yield an average adj
vance on all classes of freight Of about
10 per cent, which has been the basic
percentage of the increases in wages.
Changes in freight rates must necessar-
ily vary widely, owing to the varying
conditions affecting freight transporta-
tion. Grain and flour rates are to go up
2.5 per cent, but the advances in rates
on general merchandise will range from
3 cents to So cents per 100 pounds.
The freight traffic managers expect to
get at least $20,O00.O00 more out of the
iron and steel traffic in 1908 than they
received this year, and 1t is the belief
of Western railroad men that the in
creased receipts from the new grain
rates will aggregate s15,0O0,000 or $751;
600. 900. The revision of the commodity
rates now going on is an unknown
quantity, but there is hope of increas-
ing revenues from this source by not
less than $15,000,000. That these adj
yances in the freight tariffs should be
followed by secret rate-cutting is TO be
expected. but the consensus of opinion
among railroad men is that the indus
trial conditions are so favorable as to
reduce the temptation to cut rates to a
minimum.
From only four items of increase,
therefore. the sum of $6S.000,O00 is ex-
pected. This balances the $JO000,0O0
added to the wage account and leaves
S1S,000,000 to spare. In other words, the
public will pay 80 per cent advance
In freights because of the much-herald-
ed advance Of 10 per cent in wages
