Smart and Useful Gown.

In every girls wardrobe there is
occasion for a smart gown which can
be relied upon to fill many functions;
and for this a model, in which real
laces play prominent part, is one
that lends itself well to reproduction
in less expensive materials. The eX-
ceedingly simple lines of the corsage,
which incidentally is mounted upon
a perfectly fitted silk lining with chif-
fon beneath the lace, suggest the
plastron front and back, fagoted strap
pings in satin defining this. The
sleeve has a shaped ruffle of lace
mounted over very full plisse ruff1es
of chiffon. The skirt of white satin
fits snugly over the hips, the fullness
being adjusted by means OF dart
shaped tucks at the band; and at
knee-depth there is applied f1ounce
of plisse chiffon, which is covered
with bouillonnes of satin alternated
with lace, eight yards wide at the
hem.

The Horse Still Popular.

The horse industry Is to-day IN
flourishing condition, little correspond
ing to the predictions Of some or our
commercial prophets ten years ago.
At that time we were told that we
were on the eve of a horseless age.
To prove it the savants pointed to the
thousands of people that were using
bicycles. 1t was said that agents had
been placed at the entrances to the
great parks in New York and other
cities and these counted the thousands
of wheelmen and wheelwomen that
daily passed through the parks and
reported that only now and then
carriage or mounted horseman was
seen. That was true ten years ago in
all the great cities of the country.
But how is it today?
Sit down at the entrance to any Of
our great city parks in the summer
time and watch the passers-by. There
will be seen steady stream OF car
riages, with only now and then man
or woman on a wheel. 1t is evident
that the wheel was only temporary
plaything for the public, and that
when the public grew tired of the
wheel it went back to the old friend
Of man-the horse.
Within ten years there has been a
material increase in the number of
horses in the country and an increase
also in the value per head. The de-
mand has been greater than the sup
ply, and with the larger use of horses
has come an increased rapidity of
their wearing out. While the wheels
were being so freely used, many Of
the driving horses in the cities spent
much of their time in the barns or in
the pastures, but since the public re-
turned to the use Of the horse the
work of the horse has increased, and
the consequent wear and tear Incl
dent to service and accidents has also
increased.
The horseless vehicles that have
been introduced in the cities are but
an Insignificant factor in the general
situation. Such vehicles are but the
playth:ngs of the wealthy or are in
SSIFICS Ill Ouly d SlIS5uL uSSIGS GULL
mercially. They in no sense keep pace
with the tremendous increase in popu
lation and business that our country
is witnessing. The value of horses in
the United States is placed by the
taxing bodies at more than 81 100000,
600, which valuation, as every man
knows, is far short Of the real, since
values for taxing purposes are never
anywhere near the actual values. Yet,
though the underyaluation is consid-
cradle, this item of over one billion
dollars is an enormous one and gives
some idea Of the great riches in horse
flesh possessed by the nation.
That farmers should pay more at.
tention to the raising of good horses
is evident. There is no doubt that
the demand for horses in the future
is to be even greater than it is at the
present time and that any man that
raises good horses of almost any llinG
will be sure to realize good prices
for them.

President TyIer's DAUGHTER.

Mrs. Letitia Tyler Sample, second
daughter Of President Tyler, during
whose administration she was mis-
tress of the White House, last We'd
nesday celebrated the eighty-fourth
anniversary of her birthday at the
Louise home, where for nearly quar-
ter of a century she has lived. Dur
ing her eventful life at the capital
half century ago she was the friend
of the most famous statesmen and
public men the country has produced,
and her mind, still active and vigor-
GUS, recalls the stirring incidents and
events of the whig and democratic
struggles in which her fathers ad-
ministration was conducted. AS mis-
tress of the White House she ante
dated Mrs. Roosevelt some sixty
years.

Gowns Are Now Made Short.

The ''trotter frock'' is all the rage
in this country just at present and
even the most expensive gowns are
made with short skirts. Cloth is the
leading fabric, yet velvets, tco, look
quite as we'll with the ankle-high skirt
Many of these gowns are trimmed
elaborately with lace and braid and
they may be used for an afternoon
entertainment. 1t seems that women
are beginning to realize the advan-
tages of a short skirt, and it may not
be many months before the trailing
evening gowns of to-day will give way
TO 'strotter" effects. For dancing moth
ing can surpass the short skirt so far
rs comfort is concerned.

Some Effective Hair Accessories.

Every woman has ribbon ornaments
for the hair. more or less elaborate,
according to the occasion on which
they are to be worn. Dainty resettes
of long loops are made of number
of loops of gauze ribbon, in soft col
ors. The idea in wearing so many OF
these ornaments is to get note OF
becoming color to the face to Offset
the effect of the white gowns which
are worn morning, noon, and night
now.
The flush of a pink rosette, the
glow of a red one, the bright gleam
of a yellow ornament, or the warm
tone of some other color lends
brightness to the wearer Of a white
frock. The woman of taste selects
the color that will best bring out the
beauties of her complexion, the luster
and tint of her eyes, and the warm or
bright lights in her hair.

Under the caption, ''The Union Pa
cifc Railroad and Louisiana Terri
tory" the new Worlds Fair folder is
sued by the advertising department Of
the Union Pacific. which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts:
While the construction Of the
Union Pacific Railroad, it's trials and
trtumphs, are a part of the history of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
meRt of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up OF this vast domain it has been one
Of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula-
ton Of the region was estimated at
10000. Up to the inception of the
Union Pacific lin 1860 it had in
creased to 1898 ,529. In 1900 it num-
bered over 100000 of inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with it's stu
pendous increase in all the many-sided
phases Of commercial, material and
intellectual prosperity, the Union Pa
clnc-aS glance at the man will
show-has had a conspicuous share
1t has opened vast regions of fertile
country to settlers, and brought great
areas OF an unknown and unproduc-
tive wilderness into close Communion
with metropolitan centers and mar.
kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham.
lets, through its efforts, have sprung
up in every direction.
1t may be Of interest to know that
the total number of manufacturinp
plants, and the value of their OUTPUTS
combined with that of the national
products as reported in the census of
l9oo, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of $4,000 O00 OOo
annually, or 223 times the original nur.
chase price. The same census reports
Q9Oo) also show the total population
to be 13,343,255, of which 5000 O96 in
habitants are living in the states and
territories reached by the Union Pa.
cif1c. On the 1900 census figures II Ia
estimated that the true wealth OF the
Louisiana purchase can be stated ~
about s13.051, 1855, 1859, of which Sc 3s0-
o2l'S Is represented in the states
reached by this great railroad"

De Reszxes Not to Return.

1t seems unlikely that the great
tenor, Jean de Reszke, will return 10
this country next season, either for
the Metropolitan or elsewhere. Nor
may his brother, Edouard, the bass,
be expected. Several offers have been
made by various managers; one is.
said to promise $4,000 an appearance
for fifty concerts. But as they do not
need the money, the will probably re-
main in Europe, where there are few
or hardships and less magnificent dis
tances to cover in a concert tour.

Rreedinc Lirht Horses.

George N. Rommel, of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
says: Stand by the auction ring of
any great horse market and observe
closely the horses that fail to bring
prices sufficient to cover cost of pro
duction. In the great majority OF
cases trotting blood predominates il
any breeding at all is noticeable Ash
a dealer what is the breeding, If any
of most of the large numbers Of the
unclassified horses on the market, his
answer will be: "Trotting and coacE
blood" This is not because draft
blood is more valuable or that tht
blood Of the light breeds is not want
ed, for the great cry Of the market at
present is that good drivers and sad.
dlers are extremely scarce. It is be.
cause performance and style are much
more difficult to acquire in breeding
than size and weight. 1t is because
men with a fascination for the race
track attempt to produce trotters
without the slightest regard for na
ture's laws, and no disappointment or
failure seems sufficient to bring them
to realize their folly. Breeding to a
trotter without system and study, but
only in the hope of getting a speedy
foal as a possibility or an accident, is
playing with fire." The breeding of
light horses requires not only a con.
siderable amount of capital, but de.
mands a knowledge Of horses of the
very highest order. 1t necessitates
concentration of effort and years Of
waiting and planning. 1t is not every
man that brings such qualities to bear
when he takes a 1,600-pound draft
mare to a 1,200-pound harness or sad
die stallion, and it is largely because
of this, and not on account Of the
breeds themselves, that so many poor
horses are forced onto the market. A
high-class roadster, coacher, or sad.
dler is by far the most difficult horse
to produce. that the market calls for
In addition to careful plans of breed
ing and high Individual excellence in
the resulting progeny, a course OF
handling, mannering, and training
must be pursued before the horse will
figure as really marketable animal.
These facts must be thoroughly un.
derstood if a man would breed light
horses for market.
