INTERSTATE BODY
HAS CAR MATTER
Expected to IndorSe Rail
way Commissions
Decision.
MEANS NEW ERA
INLOCAL TRACTION
Brightwood and Other Districts At
fected by Proposed Changes
Yearn for Answer.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
Is today considering the Tecommenda-
lions made yesterday by the District
Electric Railway Commission for Il
through service on the Brghtwood line
and other street car improvements. No
doubt is entertained in railroad circles
but that the changes viii be ordered by
the larger commission.
A feature Of the report made by Sec
retary Eddy TO the traction board and
the subsequent recommendations, is
taat after making the necessary investi-
cations Mr.. Eddy offered 10 confer
with the officials Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. The
offer was refused. however, by the rail
way officials. following their policy Of
ignoring the legal existence Of the trac-
ton board. This was done despite as
slIrance sent the Interstate Commerce
Commission that as a representative Of
that body Mr.. Eddy would be welcome
AT I'll times and given any desired in
formation.
Az the case now stands the District
Electric Railway Commission has
recommended that the Interstate Com
adopted. and the latter BODY is expected
10 do so:
The cars Of the BrightwOOd line must
be run through to some point in the
heart of the city between the hours
OF and 8 a. m, and 40 and $50 p. m.
At other hours, the service must in
Ciude through cars every haf-hOurY al
ternateIY, between the District line and
the heart OF the city, and between Ia
koma Park and the same ponit.
- The cars OF the Georgetown and Ten
leytOwu railroad, II the present old
ones be used. must be equipped with
IN service within ninety days of the
issuance Of the order by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Tenleytown cars must be equipped
with a sufficient number of straps or
handles for the convenience or passen-
gers who may be required 10 stand.
These cars. generally OVercrOwded
morning and evening, must be placed
in a generally safe and comfortable
condition.
Better ira nsfer facilities must be pro-
Yided at the Seventh street and Florida
avenue loop, so that Il will not be neces-
saTty for passengers to cross In front o.
one car TO get TO another.
These changes viii meet some of the
needs for which Suburbanites have been
struggling for years. The recommends
lions that they be made are the result
Of careful investigation on the part or
Secretary II. G. Eddy, who is an expert
in matters pertaining TO the operation OF
street cars
Mr.. Eddy's present task is the investi-
cation Of the car fender tests now being
held in PtttSburg. He will then inspect
the street car service there. and In
Philadelphia, and possibly other cities.

red for the blonde, I would add that
age should be circumspect in a de-
cision as to color schemes. With
white, black, gray and purple at her
command. why should the woman of
sixty insist upon pink, which is cer-
tain to make her appear years and
years older than she really is?
1t Is just the same with jewelry.
When my daughter was about to be
married took from the bank a sum
of money that her grandfather. the
founder of our house, had left by
will to be expended upon a wedding
present for her. The amount was
sufficient to purchase necklace Of
diamonds. But did not wish such a
possession for my daughter. Instead
of presenting to her in her grand
fathers name an ornament composed
of stones of which not one would be
really uncommon, | bought just a
single stone - a solitary blue dia-
mond, flawless. superbly cut; in point
of fact, perfection. Few people may
notice that diamond when my daugh-
ter wears it, but she owns a gem that
is immaculate, and that is enough for
me and for her.-Worth, in Harper's

An Excuse For Couuetry.

Feminine coquetry has one capital
excuse-its cause is entirely mascu-
line. For the craving of women for
elegance, luxury in dress and their
extravaganza in jewelry and other or
namentation are merely an outcome
of their desire to please man, to at
tract his attention and conquer him.
AS Sig. Cadalso discovered not long
ago, the instinct is irresistible even
among women in prison, writes Pro-
fessor Lombroso, in the Chicago Tri-
bune. Complete isolation from the
outer world, the fact that they can
never be seen by men, Is not sufficient
to stifle in them the desire of being
beautiful and elegant. Prison rules
in Italy are most strict. especially so
far as the dress of the prisoners is
concerned. Powder. scent, cosmetics
and all other landmarks of vanity
are forbidden, but coquetry is strong
er than rules.
Several prisoners found the means
Of powdering their faces. They pa
tiently licked the walls of their cells,
masticated the whitewash and thus
obtained a kind of white paste, with
which they proudly coated their faces.
One woman was found with her
cheeks covered with rouge like bal
let girl. No one could realize how
she had managed 1t. Her cell was
thoroughly but vainly searched.
Eventually the mystery was solved.
In the nightgowns used by the prison.
ers there are few red threads. This
woman had patiently pulled out these
threads one by one. had soaked them
in water, and in this original way
had made some rouge for her private
use.-Paolo Lombroso.

In n Railway Station.

1t was easy in the lax time of
waiting at the Grand Central Station
for the leisurely coming of a way
train to enter into conversation with
a cordial neighbor, a middle aged,
shrewd, yet refined faced, woman,
who ventured remark about being
glad her days shopping was over;
she was evidently from the far-away
suburbs.
Don't you like to watch people?"
she questioned, with delighted un-
eXpectedness. "I do. And l always
make up my mind what they are.
That man who has just come in is a
minister; he doesn't dress especially
like it, hasn't one of those collars on
wrong side, either; but know he is
a minister by his face and the cut of
his side whiskers. Do you see those
two women? I am sure they are
club women, they look so earnest.
There is married couple opposite
us whom l have been noticing. She
has the say of things. Can't you

his wife together which one rules /?

A Happy Marriage.

A few marriages are happy. This
cheerful fact is gleefully recorded
here, in the hope that 1t may make
bright spot in all the doleful record
of divorces and desertions of which
every newspaper is full. A man, a
woman and a small girl seen on the
train this morning, are proof of the
statement.
The small girl had the mans nose
and the woman's eyes. The woman
was gay and pretty, with fluffy gold
hair and beautiful furs, and round,
white chin with a dimple-a firm
chin, though. And when she talked
admiration, and the man-who was
dark and smooth-shaven, with slight
ly gray hair, and a fine, clear-cut
boyish face and wrinkles around his
eyes, as if he laughed a lot-listened
as II all her words were golden. And
when he talked, she listened the same
way.
And they laughed together exactly
like a happy boy and girl, who ad-
mired each other more than anybody
else in the world. And the little
maiden, who was about ten years old,
and rosy and happy, sat and looked at
them as If she, also, thought them
the most extraordinary people.
The woman was lovely, and capable
and sensible, and happy. Any one
could see that at a fash. And the
man was perhaps not quite so reso-
lutte person, but fine and gentle and
appreciative, and very much in love
with his wife, and just as happy.
That was plain.
And it was such tremendous re-
lief to look up from the aforesaid
record of divorces and desertions in
the morning paper and behold this
jolly contradiction to the lie that all
marriages are failures, that one had
all one could do to keep from step
ping across the aisle and asking for
the recipe, for the benefit of all the
poor wretches who bungle and lose
at the game these two were playing
with such evident joy.-Philadelphia

Girls Gulmpe.

There Is something essentially
dainty about the guimpe dress that
every mother is sure to find attract
i've and that every girl likes, conse-
quently the guimpe Of every pretty
sort is in perpetual demand. Here Is
one that can be made dressy by the
use of insertion as illustrated or
palmer by the omission thereof, and
which in either case Is thoroughly
satisfactory. AS illustrated 1t Is made

or bits of hand work could be substi-
tuted, or, as already stated, tucks
alone would make sufficient finish.
The sleeves can be either long or in
three-quarter length, and every ma
terial that is used for guimpes Is ap-
propriate. Those of the lingerie sort
are perhaps the most practical, but
thin, soft silks and chiffon also are
in vogue. The guimpe is made with
front and backs, which are tucked for
their entire length. The fulness is
held by a band. at the waist line and
the moderately full sleeves are
finished with straight cuffs. There
is a standing collar at the neck.

coffee, is an injurious, poisonot
substance which weakens and dl

For tbs reason the regular use

bid people using coffee, whose hearts
were affected, I have recommended
Postum as beverage. since It is free

Japanese Women To-day.

We do not deny that in the days OF
old Japan women were taught and
trained to hold and did occupy po-
sition inferior to that of man, al
though as mothers they were regard
ed with the highest respect and devo.
tion. But those days are gone, and
to-day our daughters are given full
freedom to live and act with perfect
equality as their sisters of the West
while our mothers retain their old
position of honor and esteem.-To-
