SHIRT WAISTS ARE
AGAIN IN FAVOR
Spring Fashions as Seen
in Gotham.
Correspondence Times-Recorder)

Correspondence imes-Recorder)
NEW YORK, Feb. 12-(SpeciaD-
The advent of the shirt waist suit
was fashion that appealed to wo-
men as practical and dainty, and es-
pecially in the form called the house
dress; but so many innovations were
practiced upon it, that it fell away
from prestige This spring finds it's
renewal of favor, clinging to the orig
inal design while following closely
new ideas of the season.
There are two styles of shirt waist
suits; the difference lying in mater
ials and methods, which makes one a
house-dress proper, and one fit for
the street
The materials of the early spring
suitable for these dresses will be of
mohair, panama, chiffon, SERGE bril-
liantine and the many worsteds of
the lighter weights of which there
are so many this season; and when
intended for the mouse the thinner
fabrics will be in order such as chif-
fon wolfe, chiffon mohair, pongee, taf-
feta, rajah and some of the new
mercerized fabrics are particularly
we'll adapted to the purpose
For House or Street
/ A suit that could be used in differ
/ ent developments for either a house
/ dress or for the street, was in the
original made from blue nuns yelling
The skirt was in medium sweep, OF
! five cores, measuring about the
/ lower edge four yards and three
/ quarters. The lower edge is further
decorated with a hem cut on the bias
and ten inches deep with tabled TOP
| finished with several rows of ma
chine stitching The waist is of smart
/ design At each side Of the stimulated
/ bOX-plait in front is a wide tuck that
narrOWs in width to the Waistline
! and near the armhole is another such
tuck which is also continued in the
back and extends also a trife over
the top of the sleeve. Between these
wide tucks is a group of very mar
row ones. The conventional neck
/ band provides a support for either
/ a straight or turnover collar. The
short sleeves have reversed cuffs

EDUCATIONAL TRAIN STARTS

The educational train of the State
Agricultural College has started on
its swing over the state. Stops have
been arranged for $50 towns and cit
les having a total population of over
300, 900
Much good is expected from the
tour by President A NJ Soule, of the
Agricultural College, who is in charge
of the train. Though the time at each
stop is limited to two hours, yet by
the aid Of samples of the different
materials and products, the lessons
will be so impressed that the farm
ers who attend the lectures will be
| greatly benefited They will be
greatly aided by the distribution OF
| copies of the lectures
One result Of the trip will be to
bring the farmers into closer touch
with scientific methods of cultivating
the various crops. Accurate infor-
nation will be given, which they can
accept. without question Many a
cotton growers will get new ideas
which will be worth hundreds OF
dollars in the cultivation of his
fields
That such trip should be under
taken tells plainly of the aroused in.

subject of cultiyating their crops most

The appropriation of funds for the

vas made for the purpose of running
Town counterfeiters and the amount ap-
sropriated was $4,000. The develop
ment since that time has been gradual,
and In 1904 the sum set aside by con-
Eress for this purpose was S125, 600. In
1874 there was considerable scandal at
tached to the service. owing to,the fact
that IL had become an integral part OF
the political machine. The members of
the service We're appointed on the rec

ing the campaign they were sent into
the various districts to work for the
men who had them appointed 1t soon
became apparent that some of them
supported losing candidates. and in the
squabble which followed the use of the
secret service men for such purpose
was prohibited and congress limited
their activities to the suppression Of

all they had been expected to do at any
stage OF the game.

kind of type in this new machine with

machines may contain fifty or more
kinds of type without it being neces-
sary to enlarge them materially. By
the simple pressure of key difrenen,
