RAILROADS PUZZLED.
THEY ARE TRYING TO DEVISE
A NEW PLAN FOR RESERV-
ING SLEEPER BERTHS.

A movement is on foot to change
the present method of reserving Sleep
ing car berths and drawing rooms.
Under the present plan sleeping car
space may be reserved, and at the last
moment may be abandoned. This the
railroad officials regard rs an injus-
tice. II frequently results in extra
cars being put on trains while all of
the place IN the regular sleeping cars
is not filed. The motive power lie
thus taxed to an unnecessary extent,
aside from other disadvantages.
The Pullman company is interested
in the movement also, as 1t does not
care to have cars hauled when not full
ly occupied.
There is some difference Of opinion
among the railroad officials as regards
the plan to better conditions. Some
Of the roads would demand deposits
with each reservation. Others think
that better results can be obtained by
allowing space TO be reserved within
thirty minutes or one hour before
train time at the depot, or until 3 p m.
at the city ticket office.

help to hold out the full bloused fronts of
shirtwaists and dress bodices. Sachets are
also attached to the garterS, and the Sug-
gestion of fragrance about coat comes
from the fact that coat hangers are now
wrapped in cotton batting that has been
filled with sachet powder and then COW
cred with silk or satin.
Sachets of all nations are the greatest
novelty of the season, the nations be-
heads, constructed to resemble pinia-
ture Indians. Africans Americans, Jap
anese and Chinese. Bags of variously
coiored silk satin are filled with cotton
in which has been rolled some of the
present fashionable sachets-violet. chypre,
fairy frond, etc.-and then they are gath
cred around the neck of doll, and deeorat-
ed with loops and bows of ribbon, according
to the fancy of the needlewoman. A bow
knot may be under the dolls chin. and ro-
settles in the corners of the bags, If that
style of decoration is fancied.
The dressing of the dolls head affords an
opportunity for much variety, the nationali-
ty of the doll being preserved as nearly as
possible in the headdress. American dolls
may have their curls tied in clusters on
each side of the face. with a silken flower
for hat, while Indian dolls and tiny orien-
tails allow opportunity for some artistic eff
fectS. One of the beauties of these sachets
is their cheapness. The dolls cost only a
trifie, the powder a trifie more and the rib
bons and silks can be found lying in any i'll
regulated top drawer or well-kept scrapbag
Even more economical than these are the
small sachets made by fastening variously
colored bags together with bows of ribbon,
or the fiat sachets of fancy silk or braided
narrow ribbon which are placed in the desk
among sheets of notepaper.

FANTASTIC CELEBRATIONS
Mysteries and Moralities at Christmas
in Middle Ages.
From the Houston Post.

From the Houston Post.
During the middle ages Christmas was
celebrated by the gay fantastic spectacle
of dramatic mysteries and moralities given
by personages in grotesque masks and sin
gular costumes. The scenery usually repre-
sented an infant in a cradle surrounded by
the Virgin Mary and ST. Joseph. bulls
heads, cherubs, eastern magi and many
ornaments. Then there were the Christmas
carols sonic which recalled the songs of
the shepherds at the nativity. These songs
were attended by dances to the rhythm Of
the various musical Instruments. Every
body Joined this merrymaklng and the wild
music and singing were kept up the live
long night. OF these ancient Christmas
carols but few have been preserved to u.s.
The foregoing seemed to be the custom of
all Christian nations during the middle
ages. In Italy 1t was the custom of the
Calabrian ministries to descend from the
mountains and discourse their wild music
before the shrine of the Virgin Mary IN
England and on the continent the bells are
still rung at midnight. Among other revels

Christmas Abroad.

From the BosteT Advertiser.
An anomaly of the present Christmas
season is the trip abroad of many of our
Immigrant peoples who came here poor
few years ago. but who have shared so
well in the prevailing prosperity that they
are going to celebrate a sort of ''old homo
week In their native land. Christmas is
the real festal season to most of the for
eigners who come here. and this explains
why this particular time has been chosen
for the return to Europe. But the money
they have earned will not be entirely taken
away from this country. The voyagers will
nearly all return. and they will bring their
relatives and friends with them TO develop
resume again, and industry expands In
stead of curtails. there will be work enough

ton a smart dinner frock for one night
and picturesque empire gown for the
other, while if the wardrobe still boasts an
other attractive evening dress you will
want to take it to wear on the third even
ing. Then there is the Sunday toilet, as
well as lingerie, ulatinees. a dressing gown
and at least three hats. So. you see, Ii Is
no wonder that madame is almost on the
verge of Mysteries trying to get much into
little.
There is a word of comfort to be gwen
on the subject, however. 1t is wiser to take
one dinner gown If it is really chic and
pretty and appear in 1t every night than to
wear several inferior costumes. Some peo-
pie avoid many complications by dressing
always in color. Black is favorite
selection, but we often tire of it's somber-
ness, and unless the black creations are
beautifully mingled with chiffons. laces and
expensive passementeries the effect Is apt
to be anything save elegant.
Exquisite Frocks.
The seasons materials for evening frocks
are exquisite. and the Paris stage has an
exceptional interest for those who like to
study the caprices of fashion, particularly
in ball and reception toilets Simplicity is
a striking note in these gowns. the SIMPLE

which the most gossamer materials-chif-

order a ball frock Scattered with forget
me-nots, detached spray of violets or a
