the shade required in this chiffon, or.
indeed, in any lace, silk or other fabric,
one has but to send goods and sam
pie of the desired color to a reputable
dyer. There was never time when
so much special dyeing was ordered by
the dressmakers, and the satisfactory
results are a tribute to the skill of the
modern dyers.
Handwork of any and of every kind
is .laVished upon these dressy blouses.
Fagoting, embroidery, tucking, shir-
ring, shocking, inset lace designs, all
play their part, and the ubiquitous
bouillonee figures as conspicuously
here as elsewhere. in the new modes.
the general lines of the blouse are a
trif1e monotonous.
If, as is true in the majority of cases,
a blouse must be fitted for wear under
coat, the deep berthe and other
shoulder draperies are out of the ques-
| ton. Most attractive blouses owning
such features are offered, and for house
wear are charming enough; but once
crammed into even an ample coat
sleeve, they lose their freshness.
The long shoulder line must be
achieved in some fashion, so the blouse
maker resorts to a deep yoke of lace
or handwork running down low over
the shoulders and cut round, pointed
front and back, or shaped irregularly.
! The juncture of yoke and blouse and
sleeves is hidden by trimming, and the
full sleeves have cuffs corresponding to
the yoke.
AS has been said before, this yoke
blouse varies widely in detail. The
yoke may be entirely of narrow bias
bands and fagotings and inset medal
lions or circles filed with lace stitches
and the same open work may reappeaT
upon the body of the blouse.
/ Or, more easily made, and very fash
ionable at the moment, is the yoke OF
all-over lace on which are set scroll
patterns in the narrowest of bouillo-
nees, a wider bouillonee or possibly
one in the same width covering the
union between yoke and blouse.

Points on Spring Modes

measure, bow to the dictum of Dame
Fashion, the best houses are making a
number of fine models in taffeta.
For the new idea in trimming the
bodice of any costume is as though a
lace fichu were tied around the form
just below the shoulders, so that the
sleeve itself really commences several
inches below the shoulder.
Trimmed the skirt must be. In its
simplest form this skirt trimming con-
sists of these wide horizontal tucks
from the knee down, which has been
known during the last winter season
as the jupe religieuse or nuns skirt
Then there are the double skirts, the
upper one reaching to the knee, and
falling in quite severe lines over the
underskirt, which partakes of the same
character as the upper one both as to
trimming and cut.

novations with regard to skirt trim

ated panel front, edged with a quill
ing or ruching of the same material or
lace The rest of the skirt is laid In
the nuns folds, or trimmed with lace
medallions surrounded by interlacine
of ruchings.
Still another method of trimming in
vogue, especially in the light cloth
skirts, is the skirt top, giving yoke
effect that is very pleasing and attrac-
tive

sleeves is ruffies. The top of the sleeve

THE vEsUvIAN TROLLEY LINE
Tourists May Now Visit the Volcanoes
Crater without the Trouble
of Climbing.

Modernism has made no more re-
around the famous volcano which once
showered dust and lava upon the cites
of Fompeii and HercuIareum. 4 new
electric railway has just been completed
by which the traveller can now reach
the smoking crater of Vesuvius in
comfortable car. The new line starts
from Pugliano at the base of the vol
cano and within a short distance of the
shore Of the Bay of Naples. The trip
from Naples itself can be accom- lished
in an electric tram car and the old ca
bic railway UP the cone has itself been
electrified so that practically the whole
journey from Naples to the cone can
now be made by electrical propulsion.
The new railway has been constructed
by the world-famcus firm Of Sock, who
have worked the cable railway up the
cone for the past Is years. The total
length of the railway is just over four
and one-half miles. 1t is built up of
three sections, the first and third of
which have ordinary smooth rails. the
second section having an additional cog
rail- The first section Of the railway
passes through a lovely vine-clad zone
on which are grown the grapes which
make the famous ''Lacrima Christi"
wine The houses are gradually left
behind as one approaches the second
section. This section is the steepest
part of the journey, the cars, which are
self-propelling on the easier gradients,
being here disconnected from the cur
rent and pushed up the slope by an cleo
trio locomotive with two motors and
elaborate brake attachments
The power station is situated ct the
lower end of the steep section and a
large hotel at the upper station, known
as the Hermitage" from the terraces
of which splendid views can be obtained.
| All the way up the steep section the
Lime is bordered with verdure, ard the
Hermitage" is itself embowered in
| greenery. but on passing this point a
sudden change occurs. The true nature
of the mountain shows itself without
any veneer of vegetation tc cover its
| ashy sides. Fields CT brown lava
| strelch away in all directions as the car
| mounts TO the bottom of the funicular
railway which carries the traveller al
most to the lip of the crater itself. A
1 few more PAGES and one has reached the
scene of horrid activity which has bur-
| led cities in the past and may yet bury
| them again N the future.

OF Dups RANCH.

Many son OF a weIl-,o-do family in

nouncement that the Eaton ranch at
MsGOra, \. D., once wei known as the
''0uCe ranch" has been sCld. The Lur-

The ranch is situated at the crossing
of the Little Missouri river, along " hal
is known as tie Caster trail. The first
owners, the Eatons, came from Pits

While one CT the Eatcns was paying
a visit to his home in the cast en- cid
friend asked him. as personal favor,
to take charge of his younger son. a
hayward youth. in the hope that in The
west, away from metropolitan ten: pta-
tons. he might make man Of himself.
Eaton readily agreed.
This gave him an idea as to the pos
sibilities of the dude traffic. Many east
ern families of wealth had sons who
were giving them more or less anxiety
and worry at home. and a summer in
the west appealed to them as coed
thing. Thereafter. the Eatons looked
out for such visitors.
The young men looked upon 1t as a
great lark. and came west in droves.
The Eatons boarded them, furnished
them with horses, guns and all neces-
sary accOutrements and organized per-
sonally conducted excursions in the way
of hunting, range riding, round-ups and
the like.
Upon the ranch they erected q great
long building, divided by partitions into
small rooms, in each of which were a
burk and whatever furniture was neces-
sary. This became known to the cow
boys as the dude pen,' and here the
visitors slept.
Sometimes one summer was enough
for them, but some Of them remained,

largely from their fondness for immense
hats, big revolvers, rattlesnake belts
and leather Chaps
Hundreds of young men got their only
taste of the life of the range on the
Eaton ranch, but in time the supply of
young men ran short and in recent years
the place has been devoted to the mere
or less prosaic life Of the region. The
place brought $4,000.

Talk as we will the separate blouse
Is with us to stay. 1t passes througN
many changes, and the modistes have
done all ! their power at different
times to drive it from the realm of
possibility of the well-dressed woman,
but without success.
The latest vogue in connection with
Dlouses is to have them match the skirt
in color, and many made along this
line will be seen during the spring and
summer.
Handsome white blouses are, to be
sure, still worn with skirts of various
colors and are SO useful that women
are loath to give them up, but they are
no longer considered distinctly smart
unless worn with a white skirt.
The same thing may be said of the
delicate blue, pink, yellow and cham
payne colored blouses which, in ex-
travagantly elaborate form, appear in
the shop windows. They are charming,
and worn with a skirt to match they
would be most desirable for house
wear; but worn with skirts to which
they have no definite relation they are
not according to the latest laws of
fashion.
They are very suggestive, however,
these exquisite blouses, and if they do
not happen to fill the want left by ones
coat and skirt costume, they may at
least give one the idea for blouses that
may be made in the right colors and
materials.
Chiffon, mousseline, lace and all the
new silks are called into service by the
blouse makers Chiffon velvet and the
very fine cloths, such as drap ideal
| which is hardly heavier than silk, are
also used for handsome blouses but
naturally enough, are not so much IL
| demand for spring and summer wear
as they have been throughout the win
| ter.
The heavy grades of chiffon, known
as chiffon cloths, are excellent blouse
materials, for, though comparatively
light and sheer, they are really dura

Persons adverse to woman suffrage
find in the discovery of election frauds
by women In Colorado what they be-
lieve to be an argument against wo-
man suffrage. But why is It? Woman
suffrage asks for equal rights with
man; the right to vote, to cheer at
mass meetings, to spend the campaign
funds and to cheat at the polls the
same as the men do. Some have said
that woman would purify politics; but
that furnishes no reason why she
should have the, right to vote. The
right would exist, If it Is q right, SIS

An unexampled amount had been
expected by stockmen who had been
watching the work of organizing the
forces of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position, and the sum apportioned was
fully commensurate with their expec-
tations. The expenditure for live stock
cash premiums at the Chicago worlds
fair was $132,725. Cash prizes offered
to live stock by the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition alone, from it's own
