words of affection. All within spoke
Of peace, and there was naught to mar
the harmony of the evening. To be
sure, the mothers brows were close
knitted, and her weary eyes showed
sign of the anticipated trouble as the
evening waxed late, for she knew too
well the cause of her husbands pro-
tracted stay. There are no clubs in
the mountains: or business engage
ments to keep the mountaineers from
their hearthstones, and she feared for
the homecoming which was to end
so fatally for them all.
A heavy, Keeling step was heard

enough to be suitable for childhood.
Gray furs are seldom becoming to
children, white furs universally SO.
This year we have such lovely snowy
furs, both for grown-ups and the
small fry; and by sending occasionally
to the cleaner white fur after all is
not too bright and good for frequent
use. Of course, we do not mean one

could be made use Of, economy and
style need not be at war.
But to get the foundation on which
to put the "dabs" of trimming involves
no small outlay, for the stuffs offered
this season are of exceptional beauty
and costliness. OF course they can be
copied in much cheaper materials, and
often acceptably, too; but the gowns
at the opening displays are never on
the inexpensive order. There are nu-
merous real lace gowns, gowns with
real lace in great, deep scallops, or
yards and yards of medium width real
lace. However, there is another fash
ionable trimming that gives as good
an effect, if not better, and costs but
a fraction as much as the lace; 1t is
a substantial illusion or net, quite ex-
tensively used for long draperies on
the new dresses. We noticed one of
palest gray-blue satin, white net hang
ing In p1eats from the shoulder to the
hem of the gown. There was yoke
of pale gray-blue satin decl1ed with
great rose-tipped flowers of velvet
applique; the whole misty, soft col
oring, lighted by the rose suffusion.
Right here we may say that pink is
appearing as it has not had a chance
before in years, it is in excellent style.
There are whole show-windows of pink
gowns and pink hats, and very beau
tiful ones. One hat, the very prettiest
of all the brave array, was a small
pointed turban of unobtrusive gilt
grown and gilt lace brim. It was
trimmed with one mammoth shaded,
pink rose, from the side Of which up
rose shaded pink plume. The color
ing was perfect, just a hint of rose
pink against the soft folds of gilt.

THERAILROAD RATEQUESTlON
AGAIN.

That the battle now impending De
tween the railroads and those who
oppose rate legislation on the one
hand. and the advocates OF rate leg
islation on the other, is going to be
hotlv contested, is now clearly dem
onstrated by the activity OF the
leaders of the respective hostile
forces. A pamphlet has recently been
generally circulated throughout the
country in the interest OF the rail
roads, entitled THE Facts About
Railroad Rates. the object OF which
is to show that rate legislation, such
as is proposed by its advocates.
would cripple the railroads and rem
der the investment in their private
and fiduciary funds as uncertain and
unsafe. Boiled down TO generally
comprehensive statement, the bur
den of the argument contained ID
this pamphlet seems to be that, first
rates have increased because labor
fuel. material and taxes have in
creased. and the increase in rates
was necessary to meet these IN
creased expenses and to insure TAR
interest on invested capital, and secS
ond, that under present conditions
40.S per cent. of the gross earnings
of the railroads goes tOpaythe labor
bills, while 23.4 per cent. goes to the
invested capital. Admitting all this
to be true, we still fail to see wherein
it argues that an impartial tribunal
dealing fairly with the railroads as
we'll as with the people, should not
be vested by law with power to fix
uniform and fair rates. 1t is certain
that under the present system, and
with the constantly increasing ten
dency to consultations, rates are
often unjust and lack conformity 1t
is equally certain that the people
have rights in the premises which
cannot be denied. Railroads exist
and extend their arteries through
out the length and breadth OF the
land, condemning private property
when necessary, solely through the
right OF eminent domain vested in
the people, and thus become a source
of profitable enterprise and invest
ment for capital. This partnership
with the people is a fact the railroad
companies persistently overlook.
aud yet it is this very fact which
gives the people right to be heard,
at least in the matter of fixing rates.
The railroad companies seem to as
sumo that a commission vested by
law with power to fix rates would
be hostile to them, but in our iudg-
4nent the assumption is not only I'M
founded, because in those States,
Virginia for example, where we have
such a commission, the railroads
have been dealt with fairly, but is a
mere pretext to retain in their own
hands the absolute control OF rate
regulation. This license has worked
"a hardship to the people in many in
stances in the past; it will be likely
to work greater hardship in the
future as competition decreases in
the wake of consolidation.
