Carriage Driven by wind.

With the new horseless carriage of
George Winter, an English expert
menter, it is claimed that 30 miles an
hour can be maintained by wind pow

The wagon has four-foot wheels with
seven-inch fiat steel tires, the front
wheels being 12 feet apart and the
rear ones eight feet, and the silk sail
of 234 square feet is carried on 30
foot bamboo mast. The wagon runs
in light breeze, and steers in any
direction

VIII GET 1t Eventually.

In Greece the death penalty is said to
be often pronounced, but the difficulty
of obtaining executions was for a long
time almost insuperable. 1t was at
last surmounted by giving murderer
the choice between his own death or
acceptance of the Office of permanent
executioner. The man lives alone
in an old tower built by Venetians on an
islet outside the port of Nauplia, where
necessaries are taken to him every morn
ing by the boatman, who is careful to
exchange no word with him. Twice a
year steamer calls for him and his
instruments of death, and he leaves upon
a tour of executions.

 Hark, hark. the dogs do bark.
 The dressmakers have come to town, Some in rags and some In tags and some
 in velvet gowns.
 But, of course. none of them are in rags, they are all in their best bibs and tucks for they have come to attend the convention of the Dressmalrers' Protec- tive Association, which has just swept down upon the metropolis like an ava lanche. Like young Lochinvar, 1t has come out of the West. as well as the East, and 1t has stayed not for brake and stopped not for stone.
 The DressmaFkers Protective Associa- ton is a sort of modern tournament where costume Is pitted against costume. To the victor will go the spells, in the shape of cash premiums of q, 900. Euro pean and American gowns will take sides and feminine New York will decide be- tween them, Miss Elizabeth A. C. White is the queen of the tourney. She bris- ties all over with energy and fairly scin- tillates with enthusiasm and she manages to communicate a marvellous amount of these desirable qualities to every person with whom she comes in contact. When waylaid and interviewed this morning az she was about to enter the room, in Masonic Temple, Twenty third Street and Sixth Avenue, Manhattan. where the American dresses are on exhibition, Miss White expressed her joy over the fulfill ment of her fondest hopes.
 I've just prayed that I might live to see the first great exhibition of American gowns" she exclaimed joyousy. and now it Is here. They are beauties, too. some of them"
 You appear to be just as enthusiastic as ever?"
 More so," was the emphatic rejoinder.
 But just a word, Miss White, a hint as to the prospects in store for woman kind Is she to be nodded into the sam4 form divine as last year-must she carry herself the same way and above all will she wear the same style of corset, the one which attracted so much attention at last years convention?'
 The same as last year." echoed this autocrat of modes. Well, most decided ly not. I have a hand new corset-a perfect dear-and there Is new way of standing" and here she bent forward and added in triumphant stage whisper. ''there Is quite a new way of putting on the garters."
 Here was information. exciting and im- portant enough to put tie feminine public on the oui vive Speculation has been rife as to what would be the feature of this years convention. One of the first bidders for popularity was the new wind nroof skirt dubbed the "hatiron." by some inspectors of it. in delicate compliment to the famous three -cornered building and its surYunding zephyrs But a brand new corset, not to mention garters and carriage. is a more vital matter.

 The convention was formerly opened this morning, the session being for mem bers onlyi Throngs of outsiders vainly beseiged the doors and displayed tickets of admission. They were told that the afternoon sessions were for the public.
 After the convention had been called to order Miss Wade, who was chosen tenn porary chairman, introduced Miss Eliza beth White, the president of the asso- ciation, and the foremost woman of the day and the coming woman of tomor- row" Miss White responded with her accustomed fiuency in an address Of wei come. expressing her appreciation or the efforts of American dressmakers to make the association a success. There were short speeches by members and then the gowns on exhibition were inspected. Chil- dren's frocks are a new feature this year. An interesting one also is collection of gowns dating from colonial times to the present. The purpose of this.' said Miss White, lis to show the progress made in recent years in the dressmaking art.

"It would take . pretty good looking per son to wear that" said one, and Tt wouldn't hide much of the figure" added another. But" interpolated Miss White. That's just what they want. It really wouldn't look bad on a good figure"
 Not only costumes but fabrics are dis played in the exhibition. Conspicuous among these are rows of stockings, dang ling in elevated position and variegated hues betwen the handsome gowns. For handsome they are, and chic, too. in the opinion of many just as much as any of Parisian design. The American dress maker has not considered the lilies of the field, she has been toiling and spinning yigirously that the American woman may reflect glory upon her native land by be- ing clothed sumptuously in American costumes.
 A noticeable gown displayed is of white Swiss broken by broad lowered stripes in dull Oriental colors. It is made over yellow silk and chiffon and laid in length wise tucks down the skirt.
 At the bottom 1t is caught in festoons draped with narrow bands of panne vel vet in heliotrope, white. lemon and burnt orange. These same straps braided edge the low, round neck and catch the short, full sleeves of yellow chiffon.
 The fad for shirring is seen in a beau tifui gown of white chiffon made over corn-colored silk. The close shirrings which encircle the skirt are separated at intervals by hands appliqued with narrow ribbon work The bodice Is mostly of the shirring relieved by the ribbon ap- plique. There are full angel sleeves fall ing from shirred uppers. An effective touch is given by the introduction of flat cabachons of corn-colored silk worked in the chiffon at intervals.

woMEN NOW MODEL IN WAX.

Recently a few women with artistic tastes discovered what an interesting thing it was to model in wax. and all at once many of them have taken 1t up.
 It all began with one woman who was recovering from an illness, and who took 1t up as a time-killer. She made so many beautiful things with her delft fingers that her friends became fascinated with the work, and immediately bought a stock of materials to see if they could do as well.
 Tools are not very important. Sets of them always are bought by the beginner. but the fingers prove to be of the most use. and only in shaping intricate crevices are the tools of value.
 Modelling wax is brown and red in color, and the heat of the hand renders 1t pliable. When the molding is begun. and the desired figure begins to take shape, one adds on the different parts, instead of molding out from the center piece.
 Should the wax become too hard to be pIiable, 1t can be softened by placing 1t in a pan over a dish of boiling water. Oregon club women have introduced bill Into the Legislature regulating child labor in the State. It is true that chill dren are no great factor industrially in Oregon as yet, but the club women are determined that theirs shall be among the States that have safeguarded the rights of every child to an unfettered childhood.
