Quaint Scotch Custom.

Natives OF the northeast coast Of
Scotland observe a curious custom ar
funerals. After the burial service tbs
coffin is carried outside the house and
placed upon two chairs on which 1t
had rested within doors. As soon as
the pallbearers lift up their burden
and begin their journey to the grave
yard these chairs are at once thrown
sharply on their backs. In this posi-.
ton they are kept until the iurermeuC
has taken place, when they ara taken

LINGERIE eIouses.

Lingerie blonses are to be worn the
winter through with tailored coats and
skirts. They are really indispensable.
for they are thin, taking up no room,
and when mussed water and hot iron
restore them to an immaculate condi
zion. They are. however. as expensive
as the more elaborate silk and crepe
bodices, as greater number of them
are required; but they are slways
fresh and spotless, and thus delight
the dainty woman In cut they are al
most facsimiles OF those worn during
the summer. save that heavier laces
are used, eluny. guipure and the lately
revived crepon being favoFites. These
Iaces are used as insertion rather than
in appiiques, and In many Of these
blouses the lace Is also deliberately en-
broidered in floral designs In plumetis
stitch. One such blouse has It's crepoR
lace embroidered across the front IN
hrysanthemums.

Miss Ethel Bret Harte, the daughter
Of the famous writer of early Calttor-
MIA life, has decided to devote herself
TO concert work. Although Bret Harte
made large profits from his writings
and won a success which seldom
comes To writer as early as it did

s;raiteued circumstances. and if 1t
were not for the many stanch friends

Harte's death The family difficulties
have been complicated by threatened
loss Of sight of one of the sons and
he has been sent 10 Switzerland in
the hope that a renowned ocujjst may
perform a successful operation.
Miss Bret Harto has had a long up
hiu struggle fra her work. She served
a stage apprcutice.h with George
Edwards and DOyly Carte. She has

sympathetic quality and her one de-

KANSAS NEWS:
WyandOtte County Is to Have
Better Car Service.
Metropolitan Company to I'M
prove Their Kansas Lines.
TO ELEVATE TRACKS.
Stock Yards People Will Have
New Extensions.
Expect to Have Matters Like
Before the Flood Soon.

Kansas City, Kas., Jan. 3O.-The
street car improvements planned by the
Metropolitan Street Railway company
are to be pushed to early completion as
soon as the weather moderates suffi-
GENTLY to permit of uninterrupted out
door work. Work on the new Tenth
street line will soon be resumed. The
contract for the Tenth street viaduct
has been let and the preliminary work
on it is progressing satisfactorily.
Work on the James street car line
extension to the stock yards will also
begin soon. The Metropolitan officials
are negotiating with railroad COM
Danies for the right to build elevated
tracks over steam railway tracks and
expect to close the arrangements within
a week or ten days.
The construction of the Seventh
street viaduct and Central avenue ele-
waited structure and bridge is now pro-
crossing at a gratifying rate. Owing
to the failure of the firms having the
contract to supply the steel to be used
in the Seventh street structure in ac-
oordance with the terms of the con-
tract, a great many vexatious delays
have resulted. Steel IS now arriving
almost daily and the Metropolitan ex-
poets to complete the structure within
thirty days. The Central avenue IL
road structure may be ready for traffic
by February Is. The Metropolitan
plans call for its completion before the
ice in the Kaw breaks and menaces the
safety of the temporary bridges now
used by the company in giving car
service between the two cities. The
elevated road can then be put in COM
mission in a short time. The improve
ments will result in the giving of the
best street car service the people OF
Kansas City, Kas., have ever had
I'VE appreciate fully the inadequacy
Of the present street car service in
Kansas City, KAN said Bernard Cor
rtgsn, president of the Metropolitan
yesterday, and we shall soon direct
all our energies to improving the SER
vice, in every way. Most of the rush
work in this city is well cleared ur
and now we propose to keep faith with
the people living on the other side OF
the Kaw. The new Tenth street line
and the James street extension will
give them direct communication with
the stock yards and other districts and
the IL" road and Fifth street lines will
again restore the communication IA
cilities of the two cities to what they
were before the flood. The people OF
Kansas City, Kan. have been remark
ably patient under most trying con
ditions and the company will try tC
show it's appreciation by rushing the
improvements under way and planned
for them
