The executive committee of the agri-
cultural department has closed con.
tract with the Des Moines City Rail-
way company for the entrance of the
street railway lines into the state fair
grounds. The car line will be differ
emit from the temporary track laid into
the grounds last year and will run to
loop near the pavilion and it will
all be fenced off. A handsome depot
40 by 120 feet in size is to be built,
and the arrangements will be that
tickets for the fair may be got in the
depot and street car fares will be paid
before the passengers get to the plat
form. 1t will therefore be impossible
to overload the cars or crowd in front
of them. There will be two sidings on
the new line for the use of the rail-
road companies in bringing stock and
materials to the fair. The line will be
constructed so that the cars from the
Great Western and Des Moines Union
can go into the grounds over the same
track. Manager Hippee states that
the company has already ordered twen-
ty new street cars to be delivered
early in the summer especially for use
at fair time,

A contract is pending for an addition

VdsSdr College Inn.

Vassar College has an inn. 1t has not
yet had time to gather the traditions and
associations that have stolen into song
and story and into the hearts of the
alumni of Yale and other older colleges
but it has it's picturesque features, and
every day It is becoming more and more
strongly identified with the college life
Many times persons have PROPOSED
establishing boarding houses. hotels and
various kinds of eating 5ouses in the vi
cinity of Vassar College for the enter
tainment of the students guests. friends
of the faculty and for the serving of the
numerous banquets given by the student
organizations. All such propositions have
heretofore been opposed by the faculty,
it being said that the restaurant and the
hotels of the town, two miles away, net
the needs. It was feared that accommo-
dations of this sort near the college
would cause confusion.
Competition. it was said. would spring
up and the college neighborhood would
be overrun with nearby eating houses OF
various sorts, and would interfere with
the exclusiyeness of the college and it's
cottage homes provided for freshmen
who are excluded from life on the cam
pus for lack of room.

schemes gave them up 1t was left for

Lost Her PettiCOdt.

A amusing incident has just come
n to light in connection with the re-
cent ceremony in st. Peters in Rome
during the Papal Jubilee. Among al
amazing quantity of property lost on
that occasion. and lodged with the po-
lice, was nothing less than a petticoat
a woman claimant turned up and ex-
planned that knowing that the Pope
would extend his blessing TO any objects
brought for that purpose by the faith
full. she had taken on her person half
dozen new petticoats, which she con-
templated presenting TO particular
friends as a souvenir of the Papal
Jubilee.
These petticoats she had strung rounI
her waist for convenience sake, beneath
a capacious mantle. One of the treas
ures unfortunately left its mornings in
the crush and the woman's joy was
great at its recovery.

same shade. and in the grass linens es-
pecialIy are medalIions of the lace or
outline embroidery and all in the one
tone, very dainty and cool in appear
ance and essentially artistic in the har-
mony OF coloring.
Under the head of linen gowns come
the linen batistes that are so sheer and
fine that they hardly seem heavier, if
as heavy, as the fine lace or embroidery
with which they are trimmed. Although
the embroidery on the linen batistes ex-
hibits some of the very finest work that
has ever been seen, or at least seen for
very many years, and is associated in
ones mind with the embroidery on the
finest lingerie or pocket handkerchiefs.
This is an age OF luxury that is evidenced
in nothing more than dress, and conse-
quently there is a craze for this fine and
beautiful handwork
Dark blue linen gowns have not been
so fashionable the last two or three
years. principally because the heavier
qualities of denims were so much used
for the cheapest kind Of ready made
goling skirts. But the dark blue linens
Of today are bound to win their way
into favor again for the texture is so
exquisitely fine and the color is so good.
The more severe the design OF these
dark blue linens the better, and the
real tailor finish is exceedingly smart
with them. The short skirt, plated or
with many cores, and the three-quarter
coat again are smart. but there are also
extremely good gowns made with the
short skirt and the blouse waist
On the waist the heavy embroidery in
linen or cotton thread, either of blue
black and white, or white. is effective
This IS q very simple design. but a very
smart one. Another good one is in the
red linen. not the OK blood red that
was fashionable last year. but the shade
Of this season, which looks so well
trimmed with either black or white.
Black and white combined MAKE a s0od
trimming for red frock and are used In
revers and collar. as well as in the
band of the skirt, but often the end and
aim Of everything is 10 have the one
color scheme and then a curious effect
is given by the dyed lace to match the
gown. and used in bands or in yoke,

other that has so much lace and en-

other that has so much lace and en-

much more in keeping with the linen
