however, this cannot be obtained In

to heat rejected In the exhaust In ad-

which help 10 swell the total loss OF

These figures apply to the better class
OF engines, for with OLD machines the loss
is much greater. Besides this thermal
loss there Is considerable friction to be
overcome in the ordinary type Of even
the very best engines that can be made.
while there Is Of course much individu-
atty among engines, some are more eco

Directoire Gowns.

The latest development in the
realm of fashion, is what is known
as the "Directoire Gown" a will
lowy, hgure-fitting costume, which
is in reality a revival Of the ancient
costumes worn by the Grecian
ladies'. In speaking of this new
sensation, the Drygoodsman of St.
Louis, says:
"About month ago the fashion
world was startled by the appear
ance at one OF the Sunday afternoon
races OF four young women attired
in Directoire gowns of radical and
Sensational type. The sheath-ftting
gowns, which revealed the figure in
almost every line and curve, and
the low yoke and tight sleeve of
diaphanous material, are said to
have shocked the blase Parisians.
The feature of the gowns which
caused the sensation was the opening
at the side of the skirt, which re-
vealed the foot, ankle and calf al
most to the knee. Now within a
little more than four weeks after
their appearance at Paris, we are
having exhibits of them in American
stores. While it is true
that the extreme styles have not
been taken seriously. it is conceded
that even the most radical models
are foreruners of fashion and indi-
cate that for the coming season the
Directoire styles will be strongly
felt, and must be reckoned with. "
Well, it could be worse.
