VACATION PERIOD OVER
WASHINGTONIANS COMING HOME
FOR THE WINTER.
Busy Scenes at Depots and Wharves-
Baggage and Passengers Com
manding Attention.

The mountains, seashores lakes and sum-
mer resorts of every description and of
every degree are pouring into the District
of Columbia the many who have been
spending their summer vacation away from
the heated streets of the nations capital.
Day after day and night after night train
loads of Drowned and healthy-looking
Washingtonians are being deposited at the
two railroad terminals in the District, to
go again to their homes and offices and be-
gin with renewed vigor the tasks that were
left'idle during the hot months Of the vaca-
ton period There is no summer resort in
the country that has not had among it's
guests some person who is now in Wash
ington or who is coming here. At least
that is what the railroad officials say. The
homes and the hotels are all filing up, and
from casual stroll along the avenue or on
any of the other principal thoroughfares
the knowledge is readily gained that the
summer resort season is over.

can they expect? The railroad officials are
not endowed with superhuman powers.
They cannot guess where each mans trunk
and bag are to be found. They have about
three thousand pieces of baggage to look
after every day. and that they are able to
keep track of any is wonder to the or
binary layman.
Record Of Day.
There came through the 9th street depot
$500 people from the trains that arrived
during the twenty-four hours ending with
Wednesday evening. A rough estimate by
the railroad officials gives each one Of these
persons one piece of baggage, and but for
the most careful efforts of the baggage
master and his assistants the result would
have been chaos. And Wednesday was
not remarkable day. The average ar
rivals at the 9th street station was about
2 100 in each twenty-fOur hours during the
month of September.
The average at New Jersey avenue sta
ton was considerably lower, because there
at that station as there are at 9Th street
This would appear to De heavy passenger
list for twenty-four hours on the railroads
and it is. The fact Is the average is be-
tween 1000 and 15GO higher than the nor
NAL figures.
A conservative estimate of the average
daily mgra ton to Washington, as gathered
through the railroad officials in the sum-
mer and winter is from 2,C0O to $500. This
includes the passengers arriving by rail
road at the two stations and by boat. 1t
will be SEEM therefore, that the number
of people coming into the city from all
these points during the fall, when return
ing from summer vacations, is from 5000
Visual evidence of the enormous amount
of baggage that is being handled by the
to $500
railroads can be had by any person who
strolls along any of the principal streets
fifteen twenty minutes and keeps his
eyes open. Trucks and wagons of all kinds
loaded to the highest point with trunks and
baggage can be seen rolling along the
thoroughfares from the direction of the
depots and steamboat wharves, and little is
seen going to the whaves or depots. And
the baggage is what troubles the railroad
officials the most. The passengers can look
out for themselves. but the baggage falls
to the care of the railroad people, who lit
orally have their hands full.
The Luggage Carried.
The amount of luggage carried by the
average American. especially the American
woman. is regarded as notably large,
though considerably less than the amount
carried by foreigners, and all of it is con-
signed to the railroad, which stands re-
sponsible for its safe delivery to its owner
on his or her arrival a t their point of des-
tination 1t requires large corps of skilled
experts to handle the trunks and travelling
bags of the visitors to Washington alone,
and during the great influx that comes at
the end of the summer months, when the
recidents of the city are coming in. the
work of caring for it becomes appalling
Yet there is little baggage lost. and when
lost it is very readily located.
The porters and baggage men at the
terminals of the roads entering Washing
ton are all hoping and praying for the
speedy close of the vacation season. SO
that they can have a little rest before the
winters work begins.

FOOTWEAR FOR AUTUMN.
Variations on Summer Styles in Shoes
Cuban Heels the Favorites.


From the Illustrated Footwear Fashion.
The last season has been notable in the
fashionable world for the attention bestow
ed upon the feet, and the coming one will
be marked by the same characteristics. 1t
will be impossible, of course. to display the
fantastic footwear which adorned the sum-
mer promenades upon the winter streets,
but in the house. both by day and night.
my lady will find ample opportunity for the
elaborate clothing of her pedal extremities.
In evening slippers there is a deluge of
patterns and ideas which defy classif1ca-
ton Straps and open laced designs are con-
spicuous, and some colonials are seen, but
with small tongues and gros grain silk
bows, stead of large tongues and buckles.
No radical change is observable in the
fall footwear fashions the only novelties
being variations on the summer styles. 1t
is impossible for heels TO grow any higher,
for they have reached their limit, and it Is
unlikely that they will grow lower at pres
ent. although some dealers, anticipate such
a change from the fact that a good many
heels have been returned doYthem to be low
cred. The extra high Cuban heel seems to
be gaining on the Louis Quinze and Is all
the rage, for many women will wear the
former who would not tolerate the latter,
thinking. quite withoutreason. that because
the Cuban heel is not conceived. 1t is all
right. 7jv
The order of the day seems to be high
heels, narrow to>s and close edges. but 1t
will not be hard for those who prefer them
and do not mind being in the minority to
find comfortable toes and heels.
With improved methods in the making of
bright feathers they will be worn more than
ever. People like the appearance of these
feathers, and many will wear nothing else.
They are all liable to crack, 1t is true. but
the new varieties, being softer than the old
patent leather, are less likely to do So and
they look well quite as long as. or even
longer. than kid and calf
Button boots for women are gaining
ground. and one of the reasons advanced
for the higher prices of some of the new
SHOES is an increase in the price of shoe
buttons

Sweetmeats and Microbes.


Now that the microbe scare is one OF the
most popular hygienic fads, it does seem
hit strange that so few are heard to re-
monstrate against the system that prevails
in some of the first-class candy shops for
receiving the money which a purchaser
offers in exchange for his parcel of sweets.
In too many instances the salesgirl VINO
handles the money handles the candy, and
to see this done over and over again, as one
waits, is a trying experience for one who
knows the unlimited capacity of paper mon
ey to harbor specimens of every disease
germ In some places. to be sure, feints
are made at using tOngs for filling the FOXES
with candy, but in rush hours the tongS
are discarded while the fingers fly nimbly
about collecting the sweets. Chocolatiers
with up-to-date ideas, 1t seems, should de-
wise some sort of check system by which
money can reach the cashiers desk without
having to pass through the hands OF tie
salespeople.
