pretty domestic coats OF similar type copied
from French models are also to be had,

the hand work OF the Frnech model the

As a rule, the coats are straight and loose,
but occasional models define the figure
closely in the back while falling free in
front. The very short coat always cuts the
height Of the wearer, but when, as is true
this season, the draped and dropping Shout
der and, possibly, the immense armhole,
giving folds and fullness from under arm
to waist, are introduced upon such a short
coat, the effect is disastrous for some
figures.
The waist length is shortened, and this
shortening, together with the broadening
of the line across the upper arm, malses
the moderately long waist look dumpy
and imparts a bunchiness to any save a
slender figure. This is not true Of all the
short kimono coat models, and the clever
maker understands how to discount this

Fashionable and Other Gossip for Women Folks

alice in Wonderland" passes this year
beyond the action of the English copy
right law. Under that statute an authors
work is protected either for his lifetime
and seven years or for forty-two years
stl aight, according to which constitutes
the longer period. Lewis Carroll died nine
years ago. His Wonderland" book was
first published in 1855.
Long famous and familiar as the Alice
volume has been, says the New York
World. the fact that it is within eight
years Of its semi-centennial is almost
startling. Its nonsense-wisdom is OF such
constant freshness and pertinence that
each new upgrowth of readers receives
from It the impression of contemporary
origin. The White Rabbit. the Halter, the
Cheshire Cat and the March Hare are
creations always of a today. The voice
of the Lobster is heard to declare no
yesterday. There could be- perhaps, no
better test for a certificate of classic
quality But Alice in Wonderland" is
even more than a classic; it is it's own
lone OF kind"
Lewis Carroll, less known to fame as
Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. was
mildly surprised at the instant success of
his wonderland" stories More surprised
were hosts OF delighted readers to learn
that their newest, brightest entertainer was
in his professional person an oxford don
and a tutor in mathematics. However, II
was to have been expected that a tutor
who could turn Euclid into a subject Of
dramatic and witty discourse, as Mr..
Dodgson once did, should do something else
quite original on the side.
The little girl who inspired Lewis Car
rolls playful-wise pen was Alice Liddell,
the small daughter of Dean Liddell. To
her and her sisters were told by
word of mouth some Of the stories that
appeared later in the book. When alice"
came out, Queen Victoria wrote anxiously
asking that a copy of Mr.. Carroll's next
volume about the Wonderland" girl be
sent to her promptly And presently it
developed, to Mr.. Dodgson's further amaze
ment, that the book conceived for little
folk had appealed with it's mystic mock
learning to the intellects of the grown-ups.
That appeal Alice in wonderland has
never lost
In a London hospital for children an
alice in Wonderland" cot stands as a
memorial to Lewis Carroll. The vogue
of the book will be probably not less per-
manent. The removal of the copyright bar
may multiply reproductions of Sir John
Tenniers illustrations, but how 1t can
bring to Alice an acquaintance much wider
than printing press and stage have already
afforded her 1t is diticult to see.

do furnish some slight protection Such
coat was the little model in waiter blue
messaline which our artist has sketched for
us and which, though it could be used as
a separate coat over any thin frock with
which its color would not conflict. was orig
inally designed to accompany an exquisite
lingerie frock.
The lines Of this little coat are as simple
as possible. though the sleeve arrangement
falls most gracefully in the supple silk
Around the edges Of coat and sleeves was
a band Of the silk laid in fine transverse
plaits the middle Of each plat being
turned back and caught. to give an odd
but pleasing effect. Bordering this plated
band was a narrow edging formed OF little
shell-like shirred pieces Of the silk. set
closely together and each edged by narrow
lacy plcot in black and white. Such effects
in self-trimming are especially chic this
spring, and the coats and frocks sent over
by the great makers show extraordinary
ingenuity in the devising Of novel self
trimming.
Wide silk braid in the color Of the coat
material trims some of the modish short
coats in silk or embroidery and sometimes
no other trimming is added save some smart
passementerie ornaments and pendants on
the coat fronts.
The black coat OF the sketch was a good
example Of this type, threads Of gold in
the cord ornaments being the only relief
from the black.
Little coats of lace, of lace and linen, of
lace and silk, of lace and net are offered in
a multitude of forms and are useful little
garments for summer purposes though not
so generally adaptable as are those Of silk

priately dressy accessories.

Miss Nellie Conser, q handsome young
telegraph operator OF Sunbury, Pa, one OF
the few women at work on the block sys-
TEN OF the Pennsylvania railroad, who was
recently appointed to take charge of the
tower house, a short distance from the
local station, has gone on duty and is fill
ing the position with much clevernesa She
has the courage Of veteran operator and
likes her position very much. Forty-four
freight and four express trains pass by the
tower house daily and keep her busy. Since
entering the two-story building she has not
become excited at anything. Old railroad
men are exceptionally pleased with her
ability in giving trains safe passage. At
first some trainmen thought she would get
nervous but she has clear slate.
Miss Conser was a graduate a few years
ago from the sunbury High school. where
she was one OF the brightest pupils. OF an
industrious nature, she obtained a position
IN a telephone ONCE, with an idea OF direct
ing trains eventually. She had always been
interested in life on the rail, her father,
Thomas Conser having been an engine
driver on the Pennsylvania railroad. Sew
eral years ago he was running a passenger
train ON the Northern Central, from Sun
bury to shamoldin. when. through the mis-
lake OF an operator, an unattached engine
was run on the main track and, striking the
passenger train, killed Conser and his FIRE
man.
The engine driver had established good
record with the company and when his
daughter, firing OF the telephone business,
resigned, she asked the railroad company
for an opportunity OF becoming a telegraph
operator She was placed under instruc-
lions In the block once at South Danville,
and in the winter learned the art with such
ease that when she was graduated ofacisls
Of tho sunbury division cOmplimented her
highly over the mastery OF the keyboard.
Her knowledge OF the intrieacies of the
block system was so comprehensive thai
she was offered the local position. She oc-
cupies the tower alone all day. Mss Con
ser appears content with her surroundings
and win keep the position probably unit
she is promoted, as railroad men here and
at sunbury think she will be in the neal
future. The tower Is on the Lewiston di
vision. about ten miles from Lewiston.

occasion, but it IS not now the popular
street coat.
As usual, the manufacturers have turned
out many models In covert-models long
and short, models loose and close attng-
but the fashionable tailors vary little in
their covert models They make the con-
ventional loose driving coat I'm this ma
terial, the semi-itted severe model in
short or half length and the box short coat
Occasionally they make. too, a tight
fitting covert coat OF moderate length, but
the semi-htted coat is preferred. As for
the model so ubiquitous in the shops, the
rather short, two-button coat sloping away
sharply over the hips, It is confined almost
entirely to the ready made garments,
and being almost universally unbecoming,
is not likely to be of long life.
1t is among the loose, picturesque little
coats and wraps that the most interesting
street models are to be found and though
these little garments are almost always Of
somewhat elaborate character the elabora-
ton is not of a type which units the coats
for wear with plain walking skirts Such
coats are often made with skirts en- suite
and In such cases the skirt may be long or
short, trimmed or plain, as the weaTer
prefers; but the French makers have sent
over many of the little separate coats in
black biscuit, natural pongee and other
tones as adaptable, and very frequently
