On Dressing Little Boys

When the S-year-old child doffs his
infant skirts he dons a Russian blouse
suit. This consists OF bloomer trous-
ers. full IN the seat and leg and gath
cred into a band below the knee. and
blouse made In one piece. long
enough TO reach from the neck TO just
above the knee pleated, and belted at
the waist. Sometimes the belt is Of
leather, sometimes OF the same mater
ial as the suit. It never fastens tight
ly. but droops to "a point I'm front in
the mode made familiar a couple Of
years ago by the extremists in the
straight-front. long-waisted effects.
Although the general style OF these
suits is practically the same, the ma
terials as we'll as the minor details
leave room for variety. says Harpers
Bazaar The suits for dressy wear
are usually white pique or duck-all
white or trimmed occasionally with
narrow bands q blue or red, or adorn-
ed with buttons. I speak Of trim
ming and "adornment," but nothing
must be allowed to detraact from the
severity Of the style. Any garniture
is in the shape OF simple pipings Of
the color preferred, and buttons are
big pearl affairs that win stand visit

Marriage in China

The Chinese never marry within one
hundred days after death has taken
place in the family Of either the bride
or bridegroom. for If they do they be-
lieve domestic troubles are to follow.
There seems to be no reason for this
belief and the Chinese do not attempt
to explain IT, but are willing to let T.
go as an undisputed fact.
A Chinese bride may be brought to
the house of the bridegroom while
there is a coffin in the house. but not
within one hundred days after it has
been taken out.
If a bride breaks the heel Of her shoe
while she is going from her fathers to
her husbands home. IL is ominous Of
unhappiness to her new relations.
A side of bacon and a piece of sugar
are hung on the back Of the brides
sedan chair as a peace Offering to evil
spirits, and when she is dressing for
the wedding ceremony she stands all
the while in a round wicker basket.
When a bride Is eating her last meal
at the table of her father before going
to live with her husband, she is allow
ed TO consume only half a bowl of rice,
lest she be followed by continual scare
ity in her new abode.

commerce to report 70 the commission

the minimum percentage of power
brakes to be used in all trains, sub
ject to the provisions of the safety
appliance law. The order was made
as the result of a hearing, previous to
which the commission had obtained re-
ports showing that about IS per cent. of
all freight cars in the United States
We're equipped with airbrakes on Oc-
tOber 1, 1905. The purpose Of the pres
ent order is to learn what progress has
been made in equipment since last Oc-
tober, with a view Of complying with
the 70 per cent order, which went into
effect August l.
In a statement concerning the order
the commission says:
"The Master Carbuilders' Associa-
tion, representing practically all the
railroad mileage In the United States.
has issued a rule requiring that all
cars offered in interchange after Sep
tember /. 1907. must be equipped with
airbrakes, and many of the leading
roads, among which is the Pennsyl-
vania. have already notified all con-
Meeting lines that they will refuse to
accept cars in interchange unless they
are equipped with airbrakes. The pur-
pose of the law is that all trains shall
be operated with a full complement of
airbrakes. 1t is claimed that the rail-
roads are complying with it as rapidly
as the equipment can be secured"
