Narrow Escape for "Gauge" Train.

The baggage car and passenger coach
of the evening mail train on the West
River road jumped the track last even.
ing about one-half mile this side of
South Londonderry, the passenger
coach turning a complete somersault
and landing against high bank. Had
the ears left the track on the other side
nothing could have prevented them
from going down 4O-foot embank-
ment. The accident was caused by a
broken rail. A wrecking crew went to
the scene last night None of the pas
sengers was hurt but all of them were
pretty well shaken both physically and
mentally. F. c. Leitsinger of Brattle-
boro was on the train.

DEMAND SEPARATE
HOUSEWEAR SKIRTS

The fashion for the princess skirt
has brought about large demand for
separate skirts for day housewear.
These are unlined and are made Of
rough tweeds, cheviots, and storm
serges. These save ones indoor frocks
and especially save the skirts Of ones
coat suits. The latter should never be
worn in the house.
The separate skirt as It is now made
is extra short nearly four inches OF
the floor. It is fastened in front or at
the left side, and runs about three
inches above the waist line. This does
away with any need for a belt.
One Of the best designs for a two
toned striped cheviot is a circular with
seam down middle OF back and sides.
then a panel down center front. over
the edges Of this the sides are Iapped
and stitched. There are buttons from
knees to waist. Another design is a
seven-gored pattern with a bias panel
down the front On each side OF It is
a row Of heavy braid buttonhnles. with
a button on the inner edge. This is Of
dark blue strong serge, and it is trim
meT around the iootline with two broad
bands Of braid. It fastens down the left
side.

MEN HAVE A VIRTUE;
THEY DO NOT NAG
May Not Be So Tender as Women,
But Their Forgiving Is
Real.

Men as husbands are not so faithful as
women they are not so tender; they do
not forgive as women do, conduct
which disgraces them publicly; they are
not so patient with physical pain; but
they have a shining virtue; they DO not
uagI
II is not Ike a man to thresh out an
'old injury after every grain Of circum-
stance has been extracted and the Sail
raises nothing but dust. Nor is it Ike a
man to tumble into the traps Of his own
logic and rescue himself by a burst Of
temper OF a flood Of tears. Men fly into
passions over trifies Just about as much
as women; and often more violently.
Their language, for instance. In regard
TO oYerdOne beefsteak frequently is not
mt for a ladys ears.
And it seems irrational to be unset
as men are by the misbehavior Of collar
buttons. Sul, ii may be admitted that
while they fly into passions they do not
ny into the same passion again and
again And when they forgive, they for
give: they do not simply take the Of
tense away and put II in cold storage

The ONE-PIECE TuNIC.

Among the pretuest Of the new fash
sons is the One-pieCe tuuic that looks
like a long coat. It is tight fitting, fas,
tened double-brea-ted with two large
buttons, and cut away sharply from the
lower one to the hem. II differs from a
coat, I'm that it has no collar or revers
and is placed over yoke Of lace or net.
This is quite elaborate Il IS trimmed
with gold lace, EN- brOIdered hlet bands,
and sometimes bullion thread. A few
OF these tuuics show bretelles over the
shoulder OF heavy embroidery done on
the fabric. The skirt under such q tuniC
is usually OF ret or chiffon cloth.

.SHY MAN CURSED

after one or two feeble founders, he

still more unpleasant for the poor boy

Not content with making fun OF him
among themselves. they insist on his

cature him for his own ediicatlOn.
One, pretending to initiate him, goes
outside, and comes In again IN a ludi-
crously nervous manner, explaining to
him afterward that this is the way he

go through a comic pantomime with

And then they ask him why he

why he always speaks In an almost in

Then one Of them, sticking out his
chest, and strutting about the room,

GRAY AND PINK Wells.

Even on inclement days the girl Of TO.
day wants TO look her best. She does
not wear any old hat and frock for fear
Of rain. but she dresses herself from
head to foot in costume built for the
weather.
It Is now her custom to save her good
and expensive fish net wells for dry
weather. so on wet days she wears q
close face veil OF deep rose pink chiffon
and over this a thin veil of gray sewing
silk
These are snugly pinned over her hat
covering the trimming, and neatly
tucked into place at the nape Of the
neck and at the top.

NEW USE OF MAGNET.

Children have always thought a horse
shoe magnet just about the most fasci-
mating thing in the world. They have
drawn little ducks and geese across
pans OF water ali day .ong with these
bits Of iron.
The newest use OF it, however, IS that
invented by an invalid She cannot
stOop from her chair. and she contents
herself with sewing ard embrOidering
most Of the time. BY her side she keeps
q horseshoe magnet lied with COIOred
ribbon, and whenever Sc ssOrs or needle
or DOdkiu drop to the floor she can bring
them mp with this magnet without cali

SHORT BONES IN CORSETS.

It is interesting TO know that while
cOrsets are longer, the bones in them
are shorter They 60 over a part Of the
hip. but do not run down to the end of
the corset. These long bones were
found disastrous. as they were constant
Iy breaking OF bending and pushing the
corset into a curve below the waist
Now the bones stop short enough to
prevent breakage. and the cOutille IS
strapped ana stitched aud fitted to the
figure for the rest of the length.

NEW WAY WITH RUFF.

Women are quite used by this time to
the tight pIeated run that fits up against

it in all manner Of materials. The new
thing, however, Is to have from three

net or lace put into the coat This is
used on Directoire coats that have no
collars. The run IS basted in around
the neck and down the front, and ends
at the first button. It IS quite effective.
