No longer is the young girls wardrobe
deemed worthy of only scapt considera-

several winters, destined to be divided
between day schools and evening dane

debutante season and the era of long
gowns. she takes a great deal of inter

their selection and insists that they shall

Popular Plays and Their Costuming Indi-
vidualty Is Not General Simplicity the
Keynote House Gowns Of One
Wen-Known Emotional Star.

OF the many, many popular plays Of
the season nearly everyone is a drama or
tragedy Of modern times-of the present
decade-with modern emotions. modern
settings. and not only modern but strict
ly up-to-the-minute costuming. This is
the simple reason why fashions of the
day are so materially Influenced by the
stage.
A play is laid, for instance, in a luxu-
rious modern home. Then, very naturally,
the clothes or costumes are such as
wealth would buy, and as wealth is gen.

that the market affords the stage has
long since earned a creditable fashion
reputation, and many a Broadway star
has climbed her way to public favori-
tism with the aid of her artistic ward
robe.
Individuality In Stage Clothes.
Few actresses of the day show marked
individuality in their dressing. Aside
from the Russian Nazimova, who plays
to crowded houses in empire gowns Of
every description, from empire sailor
suits to empire ball gowns, there are
none whose clothes may be said TO be
truly characteristic Of the wearer, un-
less 1t is the petite Ethel Barrymore,
who always manages to introduce the
faintest note of quaintness in everything
she puts on. The straight gathered
skirts and round wasted, draped bodices
OF soft chiffons, nets and aces are
suited TO no one SO well as herself, aud
no one of our popular stars is quite as
piquant with a black velvet throatband.

ing gowns both on and of the stage.
If we should see one Of the best
dressed as well as the most attractive
actresses Of the day let us to John

one plays his part well, from the dog. up

crepe de chine. contrasting beautifully
with the FURNISHED gold of her fluffy

mo- TRANSPORTATION for AdvertisIng.

It was customary in Vermont, as in
other states, for considerable period,
for railroads TO pay advertising bills
with transportation, but modern legis
ation IS held TO have interfered with
that custom, An important decision
bearing on this point has just been made
BY Judge G. &. kohlsstt in the United
States circuit court in Chicago, who en-
Joined the issuance Of transportation by
the Chicago, indianapolis 4 Louisville
Railway company in exchange for adj
yertising, on the ground that the con-
tract was a violation Of the Hepburn
law
The decision was rendered in a test
case in which the federal authorities
brought suit to prevent the carrying out
Of contract entered into in Jnuary,
1907, between the railroad company and
Frank A. Munsey u Co, providing for
the issuance Of trip tickets or mileage
to the value of $500 in consideration OF
certain advertising space.
The government alleged that the ac-
ton of the railroad company in issuing
such transportation constitutes a viola
tion Of the prohibition against the ac-
ceptance Of any compensation for trans
portation greater or less or different"
from that named in the published rates.
The railroad company insisted that it
received full money value, based in
schedule rates for the mileage or tie
kets issued.
Notice Of appeal to the United States
Supreme court was at once given by
the railroad company and the outcome
of the matter will be awaited with in
terest by newspaper and magazine men
