It is surprising to see how many real
Nv dressy gowns just escape the
Ground. It is fast coming to be that
train is a thing outside tailor's ken,
and never met with in the line of his
daily work. 1t is a move in the direc-
ton of sanitary improvement, WINE
for street wear the new lengths are
far more graceful than the sagging
skirts of other years.
The double or tunic skirt is seen In
noanv of the new suits. 1t is the fore
runner of the numerous ruff1es ana
volants which will adorn the summer
skirts.
A Dressy Walking Costume.
A rather dressy pedestrian costume,
which has one of these tunlc sklrls'
IL Of hisoue cloth, trimmed with bisque
and white braid. The tight-httlng col
Iarless eton is closely braided down
the front. 1t has an elaborate peler-
inc or shoulder cape. This latter is
nointed in the back, suggests snaWl
over the shoulders, and ends in points,
trimmed with braid ornaments, on
each side the front. The coat sleeves
puff moderately over narrow Draiu
trimmed cuffs. Smart ruffies OF cream
lace give a dainty finish at the wrists.
THE tunic skirt is edged with two rows
of the braid. 1t is cleverly fitted over
the hips by means of lengthwise tucks.
The underskirt is decorated ana SUI
fened around the hem by many rows
of stitching.
Green is always a favorite spring
color. Each year 1t is resurrected IN
new shades. -,
Green wool canvas-not staring
green such as dyed some of the win
fer,s feathers. but a delicate shade
with a sheen OF silver over it--makes
a charming spring suit. The skirt IS
fun and fitted over the hips and into
the waist line by succession OF snort
tucks. II flares around the bottom,
and Is adorned by a band OF the cam
vas hand embroidered in green silk
doss. and edged with silver braid
mounted on inch-wide strips OF dark

The same color scheme Is carried
out with regards the eton jacket. The
velvet and silver form shoulder bands

Planting the Washington Tree.

Planting the Washington Tree.
The planting of tree by President
and Mrs. Roosevelt in the White House
grounds on Washington's Birthday was
the carrying out of a time honorad
custom. Although it has already been
referred to a description of the cere-
mony may be of interest. Early in
the afternoon the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt accompanied by three of their
children, Ethel, Archie and Quentin
came out on the portico of the east ter
race, where they were met by Col.
Symons, superintendent of public
buildings and grounds. The colonel
handed the President a specially made
spade, the shining oak handle of which
was gaily decorated with ribbons, red
white and blue.
A man of Mr.. Roosevelt's size and
dignity barely escaped looking silly
with the be-ribboned toy implement in
hand. He turned it over and glzed
at the floating Streamers in an en-
barrassed manner; then pushed up his
cuffs and stepped briskly down the
main walk of the semi-circular drive
way, on each side of which two trees
had been placed in holes already dug
for them. He threw a few spadesfull
of prepared earth into the excavation
on the north side, and the great deed
was done. AS the tiny spade holds
only about half a teacupfull, the pro-
ceeding seemed something like a tray
esty on -planting-e specially by a
lusty man who often cuts down big
forest trees for exercise. Then Mrs.
Roosevelt was handed her little spade,
decorated precisely like her husbands
and proceeded daintily to throw sew
eral spoonfuls of earth into the eXcava-
ton around the tree on the opposite
side of the walk. Thereupon the crowd
applauded vociferously and Col. Sy-
mons made an elaborate speech, at the
close of which both the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt shook hands with him.
The trees were fern-leaf beeches,
which had to be removed from Gar
field Park to make room for the new
railway terminal station. The little
spades used on this momentus occasion
are to have painting of the planting
scene put on the blade of each, and
they will be preserved in the White
House as permanent records of the
ceremony.
The last act in the drama was the
sowing of some seeds, of the Xantho-
cerus sordifolia,-a Chinese Towering
shrub-by the President, Mrs. Roose-
welt and the children, in a great earth
en- pot. The only specimen of this
shrub in the United States, is a soli-
tary bush in the propagating garden.
If the seeds sprout and grow, they will
be transferred in due time to some of
the Washington Parks.

FOUR ASPHYXlATED.
Terrible Disaster Occurs in Gas
Company's Plant at
Dover, N. J.

New York, Nov. 18.-Four men were
asphyxiated by gas at Dover, N. j.,
Thursday at the plant-of the Dover,
Rockaway & Port Dram Gas company.
They constituted the entire working
force of the plant and were discovered
by George e. Bunnell, a former en-
ploye, who on visiting the plant found
it apparently deserted, with engines
running under a full head of steam and
scarcely any water in the boilers. Bum
nell went through the works and found
the four men beneath the trap door in
the meter room, with the space under
the floor filed with gas from q broken
valve in the drip pipe. The men were
William Bulmer, II years old, employed
as fireman; Elias s. Chamberlain, the
engineer; Otto Edischum, painter,
and a man known only as Gustave, also q
painter. The men lay together In a
heap. From their positions it is thought
that Bulmer went through the trap first
to tx the broken valve and was over
come by the gas, and in an effort to res
cue him Chamberlain, Eidschum and
Gustave followed and lost their lives.

4 Mystery.

Chicago, Nov 21.-A murder mys-
terry, which had its beginning Friday
night in the Auditorium hotel and its
tragic climax early Saturday morning

shot to death at five a. m. Saturday,

slayer may have been, he placed a re-
jvolver close to the back of the chauf-
feur's head and fired, the weapon being
held SO near to the victim that his hair
was singed. No motive for the murder

TRADE REVIEW.
Steady Improvement Is Shown IN
Conditions in CONNER
cial Lines.

New York, Nov. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business was retarded by the storms
which interrupted telegraphic COM
munication, but the loss was quickly
recovered, and retail trade responded
to the lower temperature. while 4
large jobbing distribution of holiday
goods occurred. Commercial reports
are encouraging, and, on the whole,
conditions steadily improve. Conf
dence is increasing, particularly in
the steel and textile industries, and
building operations are very vigorous
for the season, while mercantile COL
lections are more prompt. Farm sta
pies are slightly cheaper in response
to splendid dispatches from agricul-
tural centers.
Failures this week numbered 217
in the United States against 249 last
year and ~ in Canada compared with
II a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Reports from
the great basic industries are more
favorable and wholesale and jobbing
trade in holiday and spring goods
display a more confident tone. In
terror buyers appear more. willing to
stock up and are meeting with fair
success, despite the fact that unseas-
enable weather, activity in fall farm
work, and some holding back by farm
ers retards retail trade and collections
in the west and northwest. Cold
weather at, the east and seasonable
conditions at the south induce better
reports as to final distribution from
those sections.

f. Every. American and nearly every

The godfather Of the great trees was
oequoya, a, Cherokee Indian. He died
d 1S43. at the age Of SO years, and
he left behind him something that
makes his name much more famous
among the Cherokees than the fact
that the big trees are named after
him. That was the Cherokee syllable
