STEEL COACH ON TRAIN
Resembles a Palace and an Armored
Cruiser


The first all-steel coach ever pass
ing through Redding was the rear car
on the Friday evening northbound pas
senger.
1t was on its way to oregon, where
its use will be in the line of trial.
If it proves satisfactory the Southern
Pacific will probably adopt the all-steel
coach as it's standard for the Pacitic
coast and will replace the wooden cars
as fast as they wear out.
The steel cars are veritable palaces
compared with the ordinary day
coaches now in use. Ghey have an cleo
trio light system and generator, which
is capable of keeping fifty incandescent
globes burning brightly. The ceiling is
a gracefully curved arch, eXquisitely
decorated and studded with electric
lights.
A Southern Pacific official was in
charge of the car and he was pleased
to demonstrate the fine lighting facili-
ties of the car, it's means of generating
electricity and the numerous other
modern improvements which make it
equal almost to the private car of a
millionaire.
The outside Of the car is composed of
sheets of steel, painted black and riv-
eted together. The studding is promi-
nent and the general appearance is
much like that of an armored cruiser.
A vestibule in the rear adds to it's COM
pleteneSS.

OBJECTS TO CARS
BLOCKING STREET

Councilman Wren brought to the no.
tice of the council yesterday the fact
that he had been importuned by busi-
ness men to do something toward
clearing the street in front of the Los
Angeles-Pacific depot on Fourth street
from Hill to Spring of cars.
Constituents complained that all day
long the switching of cars and the
stoppage of the coaches blocked the
streets so that wagons and automobiles
could hardly get through. There was a
continual noise and the fact that cars
constantly blocked the street lessened
the value of their store windows and
signs because no one could see them
from across the street.
Mr.. Wren asked that the city attor-
ney give advice as to the problem and
that official was sent for.
In the meantime President Pease said
the conditions were much like this on
Spring street also.
When Mr.. Hewitt came down stairs
he told the councilmen that he would
prefer to look into the question more
thoroughly before giving an offhand
answer, and the question was laid over

eident commission was read and filed

Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.-Througn
its legal bureau the Southern Pacific
company today filed in the United States
circuit court of appeals an application
for a rehearing Of the case in which the
court recently decided that the company
does not possess title to the tide lands
over which George ]. Gould is seeking
to lay tracks of the Western Paciiie
system. The document consists of over
$1,000 words in the decision and is con-
tested at every point.
The main contention of the Southern
Pacific Is that the tide line is not the
true line of the Oakland town grant and
that as the company owns the con-
tiguous land it is entitled to lay rails
upon the filled-in land in dispute.

Putting on Long Gloves
Properly

The fingers of the glove should
be nearly but not quite as long as
the wearer's fingers. If too short,
they give pudgy, deformed ap-
pearance to the hand, and if fully
as long as ones fingers, then the
glove is apt to wrinkle unbecom-
ingly.
Quite as much attention must be
bestowed upon, the mousquetaire
portion of the glove as on the hand
itself, and one of the harmful things
done to kid is the habit that some
women have Of yanking their gloves
from the top. Indeed, this is
common custom, and the only won
der is that after one or two wear
ings anything is left of the gloves.
Women wonder why their gloves
do not keep their shape, and blame
the manufacturer, when in reality
it is their own ignorance that is
responsible. Certainly, when a
glove does not withstand such treat
ment it is surely to the credit of
the kid as well as of the manufac-
turer.
To fit the long tops of gloves the
same pressing, smoothing action is
required as in putting on the hands
of the gloves. The kid is carefully
worked on, using the palm of the
free hand to assist the process.
When the arm is covered the folds
may then be arranged as desired.
1t is essential to have this part of
the glove long enough, and while
under ordinary circumstances six
teen-button length is sufficient, if
ones arm is unusually long, the
eighteen-button length should be
insisted on. The entire effect of
any long glove is lost if it is neces-
sary to smooth out all the fulness
In order to make the sleeve and
glove meet.
Very few women take off a glove
properly. One often sees a woman
pull glove off fingers first. The
mischief such practice is capable of
doing is incalculable. As a matter
Of fact, the glove should be peeled
off, turning it inside out from top
to bottom.
Once off. it should then be turned
right side out, the fingers smoothed
and shaped, and the gloves care
fully laid away in tissue paper.
Very frequently a woman tries to
button glove on before it has been
fully fitted, and as a result she
tears tiny tri-cornered piece from
the thumb, or else breaks the kid
where the stitching comes, so that
it shows white, and often the but
ton will pull out, bringing with it
a piece Of kid.
Before trying to button the glove
keep smoothing the kid from the
back of the hand toward the palm
until the edges meet easily without
undue strain.

Waistcoats
XX7AlSTCOATS and waistcoa

WA1ssTCoATs and waistcoat
w effects are in style this sea-
son, and most exquisite in color and
workmanship are many of them.
Brocade in all colors is much
used, while satin or velvet, braided
in soutache or silver or gold, is
also smart.
A brown velvet costume, with an
orange velvet Waistcoat, braided in
brown, with line of gold, is
charmingly original and pictur-
esque.
The same color, with waistcoat
of old rose and green brocade, is
quite original and utterly different
from anything Of the same nature
that has been seen for a long time.
Gold and white and silver and
white brocade are effective with all
colors, and this season the all-black
costumes that are thought smart
est are made with these waistcoats
not wide, but narrow, and SO put
into the coat that they are not con-
spicuously prominent, but appear
as if they were merely part Of a
scheme of color.

Small Hats Gaining
Favor

Al TO the general ensemble of
! afternoon hats and gowns,
dark harmonizing colors are in
vogue, in stripes for tailor costumes.
Dark toned plaids are much liked,
and the quietness of these costumes
is relieved by the originality of the
hats.
Brighter colors are seen in MILL
merry. For instance, a hat of mole
colored felt, lined with sapphire
velvet, is trimmed with an enormous
clump of small curled wing feathers
In tones of royal blue and light
sapphire; a drapery all around the
crown is Of mole-colored velvet, and
a mole-colored ribbon is knotted
under the clump of feathers, which
is placed on the right side Of the
hit.
An original hat is of light NOR
dore panne, trimmed with choux of
fringed tatfeta, two centimeters
wide, in prune color, and with long
punches of grapes mingling with
two roses.
A hat OF mordore satin is trimmed
with a fantastic of sifilet and man
teau de velours bird, shading from
dark to light ruby, twist all around
the hat of pleated satin and ruby
faille. This turban shade is very
new,
Shapes raised on the side are the
latest novelty. The Louis XIII
styles are making their appearance,
and a few small W.tteaus, trimmed
more lightly than usual, either with
small poufs of fantasies or else
short but thick tips of ostrich.
Tones of suede and black are in
favor, mixed with ibis or fantasies

many different colors. that are yet

PARIS NOTES

THE vexed question of short or
long sleeves has been solved by
kind OF compromise - dressy in
door frocks or reception or visit
ing gowns are made Of elbow-length
sleeves, while the tailor-made cos
tunes are made with long ones.
Draped sleeves, rather full a
little above the elbow. and close-ft-
ting from the elbow to well over
the hand, are very becoming. A re-
action has come, also, in favor of
very long undersleeves Of fine lace
or net. gathered all the way down
the arm and allowed to fall in long
points over the back of the hand.

seem to be on the wane, and the

points. The short. loose coatec is

7 INVARIABLY the veil should har-
monte with the color Ct the hat,
though dark gray and golden brown
are fashionable shades that may be
worn with almost any colored hat.
The smartest driving veil is of ivy
green chiffon, with tucked or hem
stitched border, and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
flying ends.
While this shade is best suited for
the eyes, it also has the advantage
over other shades that it harmon
ICES with almost any color.
Complexion wells are clamoring
for recognition again, but it is
doubtful if they will be accepted by
the multitude.
Those who have adopted them are
wearing coarse black meshes with
white threads ming in the oppo-
site direction from the heavy
threads.
Instead of barely covering the
nose, as formerly, the complexion
vei! now reaches to the chin, where
gathers. ~

and a row of dots outlining the
edge of the apron are covered in
with silks in blues or pinks or Law
enders. Sometimes a double row Of
the dots are worked. The effect is
extremely pretty, and the time it
takes to cover the dots amounts to
very little.
The favorite decoratio-- for the
muslin aprons is flowers done in the
colored shadow work, or a combina-
ton of the shadow and French en-
broidery.
When serving afternoon tea these
dainty little aprons are most useful,
and they would make charming
and very inexpensive gift for

The third apron is a very prac-

are edged with Val lace or fine en-

4 S THE holiday season of par
ties approaches the long glove
becomes an important adjunct to
ones toilet. To put on long gloves
properly is quite as much of trick
as getting into a princess frock.
And since long gloves one must
wear, it is important to know how
to put them on.
To yank on ones gloves hurried

the splitting of the kid between
the fingers, in breaks in the Stitch
ing and in the small tri-cornered
pieces being torn out below the
thumb, while the top of the glove
becomes so enlarged by the strain
as to sag unbecomingly.
To put on a pair of long gloves
properly, the operation should take
at least ten minutes. This is after
the first trial. The first time they
should take at least twenty minutes,
and possibly more, according to the
elasticity of the kid.
There is no objection to having

On, but care must be taken not to
use too much strength in the OPP
Grafton. Only sufficient pressure
should be used to force the fingers
wide open.
Slip the hand in, and start all
four fingers at the same time, leav-
ing the thumb outside. If the left
glove is to be put on first, use the
right hand, fit each finger separate
ly, using the same gentle but firm
pressure. One of the worst Of
lenses committed in putting on
gloves is to try and force the glove
on by running the hand down sharp
ly between the fingers. This not
only splits the kid, but breaks the
stitching as well.
In putting the gloves on always
rub the inside and outside of the
fingers, never the sides. After this
has been done, loosen the glove up
a bit to let the thumb in place.
Smooth the thumb on in the same
fashion.
Carefully adjust til, glove and

to remember is that the first button
on the glove should properly come
