ON THE TRAIN.

BY f. A. +.
I sit beside the window as the train is moving
And watch the trees and houses they all go
swinging past.
Sometimes Il seems as though they'd crash right
through the window pane
No sooner do l spy them than they're whizzing
off again.
7 used to walk about and bother people while they
read;
Wherever was sitting I preferred some seat
instead
But now play a sort of game with all the things
outside;
It only seems little while before end the ride
see a boys kite break away and sail up In the
sky,
I never see him catch 1.-THE train goes hurry
ing by.
Boys ring bell-then run away-a girl comes to
the door;
Some men are rowing on stream and one has
lost his oar;
I fancy how It all comes out as we fly round the
bend.
It's tust like reading stories when you never know
the end. The Youths Companion.

red heart The menu included a salad of
pommes d'amour. and the souvenirs were little
heart shaped boxes covered with crepe paper.
After luncheon Adolphe Cohn. OF Columbia
University, talked most appropriately about the
marriage laws OF France. which he considers
much superior to those Of this country. and
George J. Cory. formerly United States Consul
to Holland, told about the love match" between
Queen Wilhelmina and her people. Mr.. Cory.
who thinks that the young Queen is going to be
a second Victoria, says that of her desires is
to elevate the women of her country. And she
seems 70 have accomplished great deal in that
line
THE women Of Holland have never run the
church and politics and everything else" said
Mr.. Cory. They simply run the house. A few
years ago when conference of women met at
The Hague for the purpose of petitioning the
Gar to have the peace conference held there
and asked me TO preside the Assembly. the
move was an unprecedented one. But only last
week the committee which recommended that
the people should elect a successor to Queen
Wilhelmina, in the case of there being no direct
heir to the throne. recommended also that wom-
should be allowed to vote and sit in parIia-
ment."
Mr.. Cory said that the Queen confided her pur-
pose with reference to her country women to
himself Immediately after her coronation. Mrs.
Cory had just been presented to her. and she
said:
Mr.. Consul. have been very much pleased TO
meet Mrs. Cory, and I want to ask you why
women occupy such an advanced position in
your country. 1 have been reading that they are
the power behind the throne there, and didn't

dollars. Instead she gave bonus to her SOL
diers and sailors and built tuberculosis sana-
tortum. She spent the day before her coronation
in prayer and when she stood before her people
on that mOmentous occasion. she, who had never
made a speech in public before. said:
Here l stand a little girl OF only eighteen
know you had a throne. 1 understand that
American men are made by and through their
wives"
Yes" said Mr.. Cory, that Is true. You see
an example of 1t before you"
We'll" said the Queen. Il want to introduce
some Of that into my country"
Mr.. Cory told many other interesting things
about the little Queen" he called her. He
said she wouldn't have any royalties at her cor

green satin Above is a short. double breasted
Walstcoat Of figured blacket velvet. fastened
with small. round brass buttons.
The really new point to this coat is its broad
shoulders. Sometimes this effect is gained by
adding a curved piece slightly en- forme, which
is trimmed. In other instances the broad effect
is gained simply by extending the shoulder
breadths, and again d big peat is taken in the
stuff. No matter how it Is done, 1t represents
sthe stamp Of the season.
The high waiste6 skirt shows no indication of
going out; it is a matter of choice whether one
desires to wear it or not. For tailored suits 1t
is less seen than was the case in the autu nn
and, strangely enough, the short wasted Jackets
which ragged so then rarely now. Yet
they can hardly be termed demode if the Shout
ders are broad and sleeves sufficiently loose
Few of the modes of the last season have en-
tirely disappeared Many of them, like the
Directolre, modified but it would be diff
cult to find well made gown of even year
ago which could not be remOdelled and brought
up to date. The 'pinafore idea occurs in the cos
tunes made to-day for the Riviera and VIII I'M
doubtedly be carried on in the spring models
COrSelet effects are used by the best COutuTters;
the corselet skirt is rarely seen, but the same
effect is comprised in a princess gown. Short
sleeves will be worn, but they must be loose and
rather straight to line, not all punched up to
give high shOuldered effect. 1t is, in truth, a
season when making over should be easy, for
bodices contain very little stuff. Some tops
mere straps over the shoulders, with short Jap
anese Sleeves-are covered with fine bratding an
easy method Of concealing a necessary line or
stitching
One of the prettiest modes Of the winter. and
one which will undoubtedly be carried into
the spring is the fichu bodice, This consists OF
folds draped about heart shaped or pointed
guimpe and blousing slightly over the belt
The idea suits best q short wasted skirt
Sleeves may be made to match the gown or

over lace or fancy undersleeves.

gauzes and silks and Pompadour figured vel
vets and heavy fabrics for the tiny loose Jackets
which will be worn. Some Of these Will be
sleeveless, and others will have loose half
sleeves. and in both cases the chemisette will be
prominent. All winter there has been ten
dency to dispense with the lace and lingerie
chemlsette, and now the modes seem to be even
more in the direction of silk and mousseline de
sole tops chosen and trimmed to conform with
the Dress or. rather, to become a part OF it.
1hese are generally deliberately embroidered,
and nice substitute for this is & fine trimming
or silk galloon and tiny braid. Sometimes half

cites Of soutache used-one in white, another

sessing a fine edge of black. The fashion of
using a touch Of black is neutrality-suspicious. in
stance of the Pompadour tendency-and many
blouses and chemisettes have loose Cravat Of
black velvet.
STYLE FOR HANDSOME STUFF
The most marked tendency seen now is that of
the renaissance in the direction of long lines
and long flowing sleeves. This style. taken
literally. is suitable only for ceremOnious occa-
slons, and should be carried out in handsome
stuffs. Another indication of It, though, is seen
in the coQuettsh little caracas and blOuses made
with falling shoulder effects and in the long
skirts as narrow possible. with the fulness
dragging about the feet. This is one style of
gown worn now, handsome, graceful and ele-
CANT as to line and eminently Partisan. but not
more so than its opposite. the pleated short
skirt and frivolous jacket of the Second EN-
pire walking gown. Certainly there is no lack
OF variety in the present fashions.
A calling costume of almond green cloth is
trimmed with fine lines of satin in the same
tone and elaborate embroidery of soutache.
On the skirt there six lines of the
satin, then band of the embroidery and so on,
until the trimming reaches to the knees. The
top is a loose, half long coat, Curying in with

Ordinary barrels, with their heads removed. are
placed at regular intervals along the race course

ore Of the most modish examples of the spring
tailored suit has a top modelled somewhat on
mans smoking Jacket In length it reaches to
q becoming point on the hips, the back is
straight but curved a little toward the waist
line and the fronts are rounded. In one ex-
ample the sides are much rounded and edged
with braid, and there are little extension pieces

revers. In other examples the fronts are straight
and closed either in the middle or in double
breasted fashion.
smart spring suit in blue serge has a
smoking coat trimmed with wide black braid
and q circular skirt without trimming and hung
10 drag little. AS the costume, smart as it Is
sn cut and line, Is too simple for anything save
q knockabout gown, the natural suggestion is
that the skirt should be of walking length. The
house that created this costume does not ap-
prove of the smoking with short skirt, For
q correct shosa skirt suit it shows "a bolero in
checked black and white cloth with vest and
simulated collar showing Japanese embroidery
on white cloth. The skirt is ceverly hung in
wide box peats; in front the box peat is straight
and on the sides they are arranged to throw the
fitness well toward the back. II is a charming
short skirt clearing the ground well and the
effect is as dressy as possible
Buyers and American dressmakers say that
no simple tailored suit in America is made with
anything save a skirt at least clearing the
ground. In Paris the simplicity of the gown
has no bearing on the length of the skirt. and in
