printed, for the first time in America, Il

1.-THE ONLY WAY"
To The Worlds Fair, St. Louis.

Fittingly and permanently com
the vast importance of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the year
1904 will witness the completion OF the
new line of The Chicago 81 Alton Rail-
way between Kansas City and st.
Louis. Operation over this new road,
which will be the short line between
Kansas City and st. Louis, will COM
mence about June 15, 1904-only short
time later tnan the opening of the
Worlds Fair.
In time of completion, and also In
other ways the Atoms new line is typi-
cal of the Fair. The st. Louis EXPOSE
ton will show the highest examples OF
every product of all kinds in the world,
as will The Chicago & Alton new line
show the highest standard to which the
world, s railways can be brought. As
the Worlds Fair will illustrate the
processes which make American goods
preferred in the markets of the world,
SO the Chicago & Alton will illustrate
in all details-construction equipment
and operation-the accepted standards,
which serve as models for the worlds
common carriers.
The trains run via The Atoms new
Kansas City-St. Louis line will provide
additional and very much faster service
to and from the Worlds Fair city, and
our readers will do well to make sure
that their tickets read between Kansas
City and st. Louis via The Only
Way" which line the editor gladly re-
commends.

of all one color, no matter what that
color may be, is sinking little into the
background, while the waist with color
combinations is coming little to the
fore.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, who
is one of the most fashionable literary
women, loves the combination of lettuce
green and tomato red, and one of her
finest shirt waist suits is built in these
hues; its materials are taffeta and
panne.
Mrs. Clarence Mackay wears a COM
bination of gray and black and white,
cunningly put together in white lace,
gray louisine and black moire.
Mrs. Chauncey NJ Depew is partial
to putty color and coral and an ex-
quisite waist is built of putty colored
lace, with smart little butterfly bows
of coral colored panne velvet with
pipings and folds of the same brilliant
color upon the putty colored lace.
Another one of Mrs. Depew's waists
is in gray and tomato, very good
combination and one admitting of the
use of the new gray laces.
Oyster gray, shell gray, pearl gray
and Irish gray are all to be worn a
great deal, and these can be found both
in silks and laces. One of the prettiest
waists seen was in oyster gray and

does not make her seem larger. On the
contrary, it preserves the long lines of
her figure admirably.
To make the skirt just right the wo-
man stood upon low footstool while
It was being fitted and the skirt was
turned up just at the ground This
gives precisely the right length for \
dressy skirt, two inches too long at the
front and sides.
You remember how, in the picture of
the Empress Eugene, that beautiful
woman in her prime was always rep
resented in very long and very dainty
skirt, held UP coquettishly right in the
middle of the front. Well, this fashion
is being revived and by midsummer
your eyes will be greeted with visions
of ladies fair promenading the veran-
das in -kirts that are held daintily up
right in the center of the front breadth.
OF course the most exquisite of lingerie
will be visible underneath these skirts.
Petticoats that are not merely frou
frou of lace and deep ruffie of trim
ming will be worn, but petticoats that
are dreams of chiffon and fine lingerie
and whose cost will rival if not excel

they are worn.

and this she will convert into an
Easter blouse.
For skirt she will wear black

she will wear the heavy Irish crochet

Shirt Waist Trousseau.
While the entire tendency is toward
complete suits, there is no doubt that
the shirt waist plays a prominent part
in these suits, and By a little clever
work the woman who wants a variety
can secure it by studying the shirt
waist market and taking advantage of
her opportunities.
washington girl who is marrying
a diplomat will take to London with her
in her spring trousseau no less than
thirty-eight shirt waists. They are cut
as shirts, as blouses, as Etons and as
the American shirt waist proper, which
is little different from any Of these.
The stiff, heavy London cheviots and
the coarse Irish linens and the mixed
cotton suitings of Scottish goods are
made up in rather uncompromising
fashion into shirts for day wear. They
are for use on the golf links, for wear
mornings and for comfort.
Then there come the soft and rather
ceremonious blouses, made of Iouisine,
surah, crepe de chine, peau de sole, taf-
feta and mixed silks. These are for

enough to provide half a dozen modish

rosettes are made Of inexpensive lace
and are applied to waists with the

Although the wash shirt waist is.
in sentiment at least. the most desir-
able or all things feminine, yet. in
reality, there are very few OF these
wash waists. Wash waists that will

those that are really washable require

use of mother-of-pearl buttons down

who was a brunette. wore mother-of-
pearl combs in her hair. and she wore

mOther-of-pearl clasp. A band OF sill
vered braid encircled her throat.
Small trimmings make up the sum
and substance Of the spring fashions.
and that is the excuse for a waist OF
china silk, whose chief and only orna-
ment was a great embroidered butter
fly inserted in the middle of the front.
The material was cut out under
meath. and the great butterfly was
spread out over the bust 1t was
worked in white silk, with a few col

decorate the eyes and the body. This
butterfly was very much larger than

stretched wings, almost from shoulder
to shoulder, while it's antennae, tipped
with glossy green stitches. formed a
lovely decoration for the yoke.
Wonderful Handwork.
In a convent the patient sisters sat
stitching upon a waist OF delicate blue
linen. The pattern upon which they
were working was one designed by an
artistic sister. 1t showed a great spi-
derweb Of blue silk, in which a large
gray spider was struggling. The spider
was round and fat and was made en-
tirely Of embroidery threads. The web
was repeated in smaller size upon the
cuffs and upon the stock To wear

From the appearance OF the shop
windows it is time to put in a supply
of shirt waists and the woman who
does so early win secure the newest de-
signs.

over vests that match These have
very wide and very elegant little
sleeves trimmed with lace, and the
trimmed collars, which are as
deep as the shoulders.
The Elton shirt waists are usually
made of soft yelling, of delicate cream
colored canvas, OF open mesh goods
and of very glossy white silk weaves
and of the very pretty chiffon mate
rials-chiffon velevets, chiffon silks
and chiffon cloths.
With thirty light shirt waists any
woman, even a bride, could make a
very creditable appearance, and with
care in the selection of her waists she
could get through a season very nicely.
But while considering the shirt waist
matter the one of the skirt must not
be forgotten. Skirts. you must know,
play a very important part in the sea-
sons dress and no woman can hope
to be well gowned without at least two
nice skirts. The nice skirts-that is,
the dressy skirts-are made to trail all
the way around. They lie two inches
on the ground in the front and upon
the sides, as well as two inches in the
back and even more.
So, in getting up your spring ward
robe, look well to the skirt question.
Be sure to provide one very nice and
very long light colored skirt. And
with these in your wardrobe, you will
be able to meet any emergency in
dress, no matter what it may be.

Don't try to make your shirt waists
for dTessy wear all out of one material.
for Dame Fashion says there shall be
two or three and that there shall also
be two or three colors as we'll as ma
terials. 1t is more economical to COM
bine the materials as we'll as more
fashionable, and so the home dress
maker can perform the feat known as
killing two birds with one stone.
One Of the handsomest waists is
made in sharp contrast. There is a
wonderful waist of white lace which IS
trimmed with very beautiful pipings of
Grange These are in the shape of
fat little folds which are laid around
the lace of the sleeve midway uD the
arm and along the yoke. The stock is
outlined with them and there is a

White waists are made very elegant
by the woman who will take a little
trouble to fix them up. One white

laundry, for it was wash shirt waist.
was trimmed with buttons covered with
gray suede. They were very large and
were set in rows Of two down the front
of the waist, down the sleeve and ar
ranged upon the yoke. Then there was
a wide suede belt and suede stock.
Very large buttons. covered with
Japanese silk, are used to trim waists
and some Of the handsomest lace waist
effects are accomplished by placing
these buttons upon the waist in dou-
hle-breasted fashion or in single row
running down the right of the waist
and trimming the cuffs and stock.
Ornate buttons of all kinds are en-
ployed upon shirt waists to the great
benefit Of the waists, for there Is some
thing that is almost jewel-like in the
new buttons.
Squares of turquoise. with a shank
underneath, are used in button fashion
and squares of red stone, Of green. oil
topaz pink and of every color and kind
which one associates with the rea
gems are also used.
