Many OF the survivors lay the entire
blame on the excessive speed at which
the trai uwas travelling, estimated by
them at from 20 TO 100 miles an hour.
They say the company was trying to
make record run between the city
and White Plains. That bwo railroad
officials were on the train, they argue,
is proof OF this theory.

GirdIes, ArInIets and Col
lars

To accentuate the dainty waist which
is the pride of every slim woman, the
wearing of a chain girdie has come
again into fashion. On the chain are
suspended trlnlzets, and the effect is
highly attractive.
With evening gowns an Egyptian
fashion has broken through walls of
conventionality; it is the wearing Of a
broad gold band around the upper part
of the arm. The stones centred in the
armlet should match those Of the neck
lace.
The sturdy girl who has played bas-
ketball in college probably win find the
amlet difficult to keep in place un-
less she gets the habit Of keeping heT
upright, and then-well. If she has
good biceps she must calculate 20 have

attended a Wagner concert. AS the
program did not please them, they be-
gan talking on music in general and
on Wagner in particular.

every man wants to do something out

That's right" assented the grocer.
Now Pm a grocer, but I've always
wanted to be a banker"
You'd probably fail" added the
druggist. Look at me. I'm a success

his building.
In answer, the old woman motioned
for him 20 come up.
Accordingly, the captain, with his
men Juggling their heavy hose behind
them, laboriously assembled the eight
flights and burst into the room where
the old woman was.
Where's the fire." demanded the
