New York, Sept. 1I-Ten persons were killed and more dtan
forty injured by the dcralment of n elevated railroad train at Fifty
third street and Ninth avenue today.
The train was a southbound Ninth avenue local and should have
continued on the straight track instead Of being switched to the curve
by which Sixth avenue trains proceed ON Fifty-third street from
Ninth avenue to Sixth avenue. A Sixth avenue train had just passed
and the curve to the switch was open
Owing to this open switch the first car of the Ninth avenue train
took the switch, just barely staying on the rails and turned into Fifty
third street instead of going down Ninth avenue. The switchrnan, it
is alleged, when he saw his blunder, turned the switch back again as
if to send the train on the straight track, down Ninth avenue.
FELL TO THE STREET. ST.
AS soon as this was done, the train was wrecked. The first car
got around the turn, but the second car, owing to the switch being
changed, was thrown off the track. 1t fell into the street, turning
completely over and landing upside down.
The fourth and fifth cars also left the rails, but did not fall to the
street. The fourth IT struck with terrific force against the building
at the southwest corner of Ninth avenue and rested against the fire
escape. This building is occupied in part by a Mrs. Crow, whose
family was at breakfast. The passengers in the fourth and fifth cars
were able to save themselves and get to the street in safety by climb
ing through the windows of Mrs. Crows apartment from the fire
escapes against which the car rested.

A Touch of Persian.

You can do wonders with Persian en-
broidery this year. Il comes in all
colors and it Is any width you please.
For the trimming of d smart spring
jacket the three-inch width is good.
1t should be used to border the sleeves.
be they small at the cuff or wide. and it
should be used around the collar and
down the front; and. perhaps. If it be
becoming, all the way around the back.
One can do such a very great deal with
a wide band OF Persian.
For the comfort of those wno have
something left over from last year, it
can be stated that the threc-quarter.
tlght-fitting suit is still in. To make it
very smart put new and handsome but
tons upon it and trim it around the
neck Thus it VIII become "a pretty
spring suit. The trimming around the
neck consists of three bands of cloth
or OF sill. two inches wide, stitched
upon each edge and applied fiat Or one
can use a gay bit of trimming or a col
larette of lace II one prefers.

The Eton Summer Suits.

In the study of five different gowns.
made the other day upon fashionable
street, it was decided that of all five,
widely differing, the prettiest was the
bolero coat and skirt. But, on second
thought, perhaps it was the slenderness
OF the girl which made the suit SO pret-
~. She was tall and 1.-THE. and it takes
tall, slim woman to wear boiero
well, or it's cousin the Eton.
A very chic way to make the Eton,
and one which is very becoming. is with
the double breast. The little coat has a
deep turnover collar, with pointed la
pels The front is double breasted and
there are four handsome buttons upon
it, It is cut Off short all the way around
and maybe it is laid in small box plaits,
front and back This is an extremely
pretty style.
Quite as pretty is the Eton with no
collar at all, but stitched around the
neck The front is open, meeting at
Just one spot for a pretty button to be
placed there TO mark the meeting. And
rival TO this is the Eton, with open
front, trimmed ali the way around the
front with q handsome band of Persian
embroidery.

How to Trim With Braid.

Braids are much used this summer
and principally upon travelling dresses.
They are worn, though, great deal
upon street gowns and there are times
when bit of braiGing does very well
upon a dinner waist. IN the last NJ med
instance the braid must be very fine and
put on in designs into which are worked
lace flowers and, beaded flowers and
every other pretty embroidery device.
Many of the braids are made with
a shirr string along one edge which
can be pulled up so that the braid
forms a ruff1e. This makes a good trim
ming. Or the string can be pulled just
a little and the braid applied in fancy
design There seems no limit to what
can be done with braiding if one has
enough of it to make a showing. The
intricate braided trimmings are in and
there are designs In roses and in every
other imaginable flower. Braids ccrae
in all tones; and, if you are at all clever,
you can get something to suit you and
your gown.
There are particularly smart suits
which are in one color such as lichen
green The lining Is cactus red The
trimming Of the gown is red to match

them cut again, SO now is the time &c
dress in red.
The woman who is going in for red.
and 10 whom red is becoming, can buy
one red gown for the plaza. It should
be of red crepe de chine, of a shade like
the June cherry. 1t should be made in
walking length and without trimming
The hips should be fat and laid IN pIaits,
or shirred, and the foot should be very
full. There should be red taffeta pct
ucoat to match and the shoes should
either have red tops or, if one prefers a
quiet shoe, there are the patent feathers
which are always dressy and which can
be trimmed with steel. A hat trimmed
with red lace goes with this and red
parasol for the sunny spots of the piazza
This gown. which is called a piazza
gown, is also q lawn party dress fol
lawn teas.
For evening there come the yer, thin
silk grenadines, the chiffons, the flower
ed organdies of a quality so thin taat
they seem like fairy gowns. and there
come the heavy silks which are also
worn in geranium, tomato, cerise, gar
denia, cherry, beet, pomegranate, and
cinnamon red. You can take your choice
TO which is the most becoming.
Then there comes the consideration of
the small things Of dress and here one
can come out strong on the red note.
There are the neaIest Of red leather
belts, wide and soft, with dull gold buck
les which are designed 10 go with req
linen stocks embroidered in white.

The prettiest of red stocks are those
that are made of white linen, hand en-
broidered, through which wide red satin
ribbons are run. And there are the white
linens wi'a patterns of red embroidery
upon then, The linen belts and stocks
are lovely and have the great advantage
of being such that any woman can make
them for herself.
The hand embroidered stocking is not
usually considered nice. Yet nice people
are wearing gaudy stockings this year
and il is not such a very bad plan to
follow in their footsteps so to speak.
for the gowns are short and the stock
ings are certainly visible. a pair of
thin black silk hose. or of very thin Isle

French Summer Gown in Deep Red Foulard.

Are you coloring your laees this sea-
son? Perish the thought If they are
real But If they are novelty laces then
why not give them a tint? They will be
twice as smart ard will look better with
your costumes. Even the real laces are
colored by the French. but it seems a
pity 70 rob them of their ancient yelloT
hue.
Two boxes of imported Iaces were
opened the other day. One box con-
tanned the Italian VaIenciennes, all col
ored a deep ocher; the other box was
filed with an assortment of Brussels

If one has odds and ends of Iaces-and
Iaost people have-it is very good
thing TO tint them to match ones
gowns, for the IovelIest effects are pro-
duced in that manner Brown Iaces are
lovely with brown voiles. and they work
over charmingly into old brown cos
tunes T.aces that are OF medium grade
become richer when tinted a deep hue
and laces that are torn can be darned,
embroidered a little and finally dyed to
match the gown. Don't throw away
your old bits of lace You may make
them wonderfully effective in your
sowning.
Silver lace is not an easy thing TO
make, yet If you aspire here are the
directions as given by a French dress
maker VINO is accustomed to looking af-
ter the odds and ends carefully:
Take your lace, which should not be
too coarse, and wash it, Make it be a
pearl white. Dip 1t in thIn starch, dry
so that it is slightly stiff and then work
its pattern with silVered threads. It

sembie it. 1t will do for trimming a
bodice or for f1ouneing a skirt when one
is going to wear a hat of handsome

purpose All metallic laces are stiff and
your imitation silver lace must be stiff
also. That Is about the best rule there

Low Prices Prevail Now.

Now is certainly the best time TO have
a lace gown made up. for it will then
be ready fer the spring weddings, lunch

which Ii is always easier to get ones
costumes bought and fitted before the
rush commences. Then again, such fas-
ci1atingIy pretty lace robe dresses are
now to be had at prices that are almost
impossible 20 resist that it is not aston
ishing that lace costumes are already
shown among the smartest spring
models. While even the least expensive
robes are effective. il is weH TO get as
handsome a one as is compatible with
the income. for II Is gown from which
a great deal of wear is TO be expected.
There are naturally all kinds and de-
grees of robes, some apparently greater
bargains than others, hut at this late
season low prices do not necessarily i'm
ply poor material.

The use CT silver this season is so pro-

There are so many enbroideries, ap-

always is the price, which IS never low.
But, on the other hand, q a4t of silver

Little Finishings for Your Gown.

To make your cuffs this season use
pretty materials and have them very

they are about an inch wide so much
the better. Let there be Il peppering of
French knots and at the top see that
there is a handsome finishing consisting
of wide piping, or a band of silk, or a
silver braid. Thus you make for your
self very pretty cuff.
The deeper the cuff the better this
season, and you can try your hand at
getting up something both deep and
elaborate. Embroider your cuffs, trim
them with appliques of prettily worked
silk roses. or with cut-out bits of silk
and velvet. and finally finish them with
a little ruffie at the wrist. no more than
half an inch in width Do this and you
will have something nice.
Lovely embroidered bands of Persian
and of Japanese work come for the
trimming Of the deep cuff, and there is
no need of wearing cuffs that are not
pretty.
In the button vogue there is always
something new to be recorded, when
