A novel use Of compressed air IL
made by some railway companies in
the Southern States, says The Railway
News. When the loads OF cotton for
export are being taken TO the coast,
there 10 always some danger Of snch
highly inflsmmsble material becoming
damaged through sparks from the
locomotives. To prevent this, the
locomotive boilers are filed with com.
pressed air. A train load OF several
thousand bales Of cotton can be
hauled by these locomotives At a rate
Of twelve miles aD hour, although no
FIRE whatever is used in working them.

sides, these changeable effects require
the complexion Of a cherub, at least,
to appear anyway becoming, SO that no
wonder they have not survived.
The checks and plaids are all the
rage this year, even the plain taffetas
are seldom seen except in the severely
plain shirtwaist models. If a plain
color is desired for a dressy gown,
then the pongees, mirrors and the radi-
ums are chosen. The princess models
will become you well, and a pretty
check or plaid, in browns, blues, or
soft greens (the latter only if the COM
plexion is clear, and shows plenty Of
COLOR, will become you. Gather the
dress about the waist line and trim
the skirt with bias self folds, either
just above the hem, or as high as the
knee, just as you prefer. Gather the
top Of the gown, forming deep band,
which will meet yoke Of all-over lace
and have full puff sleeves gathered to
