Now the public
have tired Of these, and the managers
are turning to darker shades. and the
girls must correspond. That is why
the brunette is in fashion again.
New York sets the pace in things the
atrical. but Chicago follows a close sec
0nd. and with Chicago becoming more
and more a producing center for spec
tacular musical comedies. in which the
chorus girl reigns as queen, it is vitality
interested in this change from blond to
brunette.
There are girls. few to be sure, who
refuse to change their hair to suit every
wnim of the manager There are old
time favorites in Chicago who were
forced onto the vaudeville stage as a
result of the demand for blends. The
new change will bring these favOrites
back to legitimate houses, where it is
expected their presence will draw
crowds of old admirers.
There is much in the ballet to the

net we may be fortunate enough 10 have
by us. All that is required TO complete
it is an undergOWn Of accordion plated
point d'esprit, inexpensive silk or the
more beautiful chiffon wolfe. In some
cases long scarves OF chine ribbon, sil:i
or satin are carried over the shoulders
and down the back, the long sash ends
reaching to the hem Of the skirt; this
gives a pretty, graceful appearance to
a youthful figure. I am sure all who
have silk remnants and beautiful rib

gladly welcome any practical ideas for
utilizing them.
Nothing is more becoming to young

lace laid in to soften the decOlletage,
and elbow sleeves finished with lace or

ideally simple form If dress.
Such a frock as this does not present
any great difficulties to the amateur,
for the skirt is simply laced in at the
waist, and falls in flowing lines, and the
fichu sometimes hides a multitude of de-

ID. B. Martin, the veteran passenger traf-

methods of Eastern lines are obsolete and
the passenger departments need waking up.
"Of course there are exceptions in the
East as to the advertising feature, but in
passenger equipment, in the general time
made and in the service given we are far
behind Western roads. We lack the agrees
siveness which has made the Western rail-
roads the wonder of the age in passenger
service. We have trains in the East of
which we boast greatly, but they are not
to be mentioned in the same category with
any of the limited trains which Western
roads are running in the California service
For luxurious appointments, for the comfort
and the facilities they afford the travelling
public, any one of these trains is a perfect
marvel. In advertising these trains and the
passenger service generally Western roads
are far in advance of the Eastern standard
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been expended in advertising California
service, and it has resulted in creating q
desire in the far East to travel West and
see the wonders of the Golden State Were

nearer the Eastern centers not a dozen
people season would go there, and as ii is

HEALTH BOARD MEETING
DIR. FRANK w. FOxWORTHY TO AS
SIST SANITARIAN BUEHLER.
False Reports About Smallpox Depre-
Gated by the BOard-IrvingtOn
Sewer Plans Not Ready.

The Board of Health yesterday appointed
DR.. Frank w. Foxworthy as assistant to
City Sanitarian Buehler during the preva-
lence Of smallpox. The appointment is
made jointly with that of the School Board,
for which DR.. Foxworthy has been acting
DR.. Buehler and DR.. Charles Carter have
had charge of the many cases. and as DR..
Carter is clerk of the board it was neces-
sary for him to return to his work in the
office.
The board also approved DR.. Buehlers
recommendation for the employment of
four special inspectors, whose duty shall
be to make house-to-house inspection of
the infected neighborhoods to discover any
hidden cases of the disease. These in
spectors win also view entire premises and
order cleaning up where necessary.
The board also discussed the reports
about the city in which many well-known
physicians are quoted as saying that there
are several thousand cases of smallpox, but
that the actual condition has been sup
pressed. President House declared that all
the cases reported to the board had been
made into record, open to public inspection
at any time, and that inspection was In
vited. He also deprecated the charlatanism
of some physicians, who started these re-
ports and kept them in circulation. IF
cases have been suppressed" said he, "the
facts have only to be reported to the board
and vigorous prosecution will follow"
DR.. Buehler recommended an allowance
of SIS extra monthly to the inspectors and
office force of the board because of extra
duty in connection with the smallpox work.
The men have all been required to work
day and night amidst constant danger, and
the board agreed with DR.. Buehler that
they should receive extra compensation.
Additional help would not have been valu-
able in the emergencies, as the trained In
spectors were needed.
Work on the new temporary quarters at
the pesthouse is progressing rapidly, and
the capacity of the buildings will soon be
increased fifty.
Joseph Broyles, one of the deputies in the
office of County Clerk Davis, has recovered

Earnings for December show, with most
lines, surprising results, despite the unfa-
vorabe weather that many of the roads
had to contend with. There are handsome
gains as compared with a year ago. and
the benefit of improvements to track and
equipment conditions very apparent
With an ordinary volume of business. the
roads, with the increased equipment of the
last twelve months would handle the busi-
ness with the greatest ease, but with dou-
bic the tonnage to be moved that there was
year ago the additional equipment is not
sufficient and were there ample equipment
ii is questionable if much more business
could be moved with safety to trains One
unfortunate feature is that the trunk lines
so congested with business as to be
unable to take freight from western con-
nections. Westbound business is beginning
TO improve, and cars, instead of being sent
back empty, are being returned loaded
making the car movement much slower
Indications are that like conditions will
exist for weeks, IL not months TO come. but
i'm moving the present volume of traffic the
roads are showing handsome increases in
earnings, especially gross. and fair increases
in net earnings. The increase in pay rolls
and cost of railway supplies cuts heavily
into gross earnings. which is felt in the
net results Were the wage conditions and
cost of railway supplies the same as two
years ago, under the present unfavora BILE
conditions, the roads would be making
more money than in any former period.
