Collars are not as high nor as abruptly

those that will best lend themselves TO
use for tailored costumes, which are prac-
tically adapted because of their soft drap-
ing qualities and their l~ustrous finish to
use in the classic garments of the Direc-
toire. That the latter style calls for Sc
verely plain goods goes without saying.
In the fact that the Directoire styles and
adaptations of these are dominent is also
found the reason for the dominance of
fabrics OF unobtrusive pattern and design,
where a pattern is used.
The Dlrectoire fashion calls for stripes
or borders principally, and these will be the
designs in most general use-bcrders for
high style and stripes for practicability,
There viii be borders combined with
stripes when the patterns are of quiet color
effect. Stripes are also developed in twI
tones and in many cases they are asso-
slated with self-colored or two-tone6
checks.
The Influence OF the prevailing fashion II
also felt In the weave and weight OF the
fabrics. The aim of the makers has beer
to decrease the weight OF the goods and
yet maintain the strength. and as a con
sequence they have been compelled to use
only the finest yarns. and to exercise the

change either in garments or

- last season. The outlines Of
rments will remain practically I'M
changed. Makers have introduced GER
tain Innovations, of course, for no
stronger reason. seemingly, than to try
to supply a different touch to style or de-
sign, but as far as radical or even inn
portant newness is concerned, there is
none. The basic idea OF the seasons fash
ions is the classic or Directoire styles
which have ruled during the last season,
to which is now being added a new note
In the adaptation Of the Medieval styles.
In garments, styles that there so strongly
brought out last fall are still holding sway.
IL Is true that numerous changes and de-
cided Innovations have been introduced, but
In ali lines OF new merchandise the influ-
ences of the picturesque Directoire and EN-
pire periods are still felt. Much has been
done in eliminating the undesirable and
extreme features, which the extremists OF

are all built on the slender figure out

pads of today must be shaped to conform
to the figure. There are several garments
which are made for the purpose of correct

Lace front brassieres cut very short so
as not to add to fullness at waist line are
gaining in popularity from season to sea-
son. and each season brings some new i'm
proved ideas in that line. The brasslere is
made for the purpose of reducing the size
of the bust. therefore those that add least
bulk to the toilette are most popular. The
newest ones are cut and shaped so that
they cover the bust only and are held in
place with elastic straps. Bust forms are

- opening of a new season.
ktf%x8M Fashion still holds to its
SY edict that the figure Tor
the coming spring should be sylph-like;
therefore is the corsetiere called upon as
a first add to accentuate the graceful
lines of the slender woman and to correct
the faults of the woman too generously
endowed with embonpoint.
The new corset models are still built on
the same lines that have become popular
the last few seasons, with exception of the
lower bust. The high bust corset has not
found much favor, for the full busted
woman's figure shows better lines when a
low bust corset is worn, and when the bust
is too large, the brasslere corrects. that
fault. The slender woman, for whom the
high bust corset was intended, finds 1t
much more comfortable to wear a low
bust corset, with some accessory to cor
rect the flatnessf over the chest.
Long Hip and lat Back OdeIs.
The long hip and straight. flat back
models are the correct corsets for spring.
The length of the model is left to individ-
ual taste and need. Some models are cut
extremely long In the back, while other
models, in connection with the long back,
are cut low over the hip. so as to hold In
the ron and sides OF the limbs. The lace
front models are especially adapted to
flatten the back and distribute the flesh
evenly over the abdomen and hips. Back
lace c~orsets. however. are holding their
own for general popularity. Corset models
with special combination appliances for
reducing and holding superfluous flesh in
subsection are shown in limited numbers
for most of the models are so made now
that they can easily correct an ordinary
fault.
Batiste is the popular material for the
summer corset. although the light weight
French coutil is worn all the year round.
In large sizes especially are the coutil good
for summer, as they will stand the strain
of lacing much better than the sheer bat
iste materials. There Is also a wider
showing Of the brocaded materials, which
are always favored for summer wear. So
well are the new corsets made, boned and
cleverly gored, that for ordinary wear
there is very little strain on the material,
Whalebone and whalen are the boning
mostly used; only the cheapest OF corsets
are stayed with steel.
Drassieres and other accessories.
To be we'll corseted. the up-to-date
woman must also buy the numerous corset
accessories. without which the corseting
is considered incomplete-the numerous
brassieres for the too full bust. extra hose
supporters to hold the corset fatty over
the abdomen and hips. and the various
bust pads for the too slender woman. No
other pads are used now that the slender
woman holds the center of the stage. The
bust. however. must be full and well
rounded. and while the numerous bust frills

Among the novelties of the accessories

Roanoke, Va, April 7.-Henry II.
Rogers and his party left this morn

glnia, where his road, the Virginian
Railway, has it's mines Mr.. Rogers
will tomorrow show his associates
the extent Of the coal acreage, from
which he expects to supply the mar
kets supplied by the Virginia prod
uct
There are three counties in which
the Rogers coal acreage Ia located.
These will be examined-that Is, rs
much Of the ground as possible will
be covered. 81" night will be spent
at Princeton, the mountain division
point, and arrangements made there
for the return Of the party to the
East.
That the Virginiau Railway ex-
poets to get into the coal markets
of the East at once is indicated by
the amount of new equipment which
has been ordered for delivery at the
earliest possible moment. Already
the new company has a nucleus In it's
rolling stock which it fell heir to N
the absorption Of the old Deepwater
Railway, which was operated In West
Virginia before the Virginian was
conceived. - -
At present the company has 500
forty and fifty ton coal cars. Most Of
these are lettered "Deepwater," ana
all Of them are needed at this early
period to convey the coal from the
mines tG tideWater at SewalI Pofni,
Va. In addition there are / 500 boz,

sion on the newA road. Twenty-one
engines are pulling the present
and these are obviously
inadequate even at this stage in the
history Of Mr.. Rogers property.
Orders have already been placed |
for 800 all~steel fifty-ton coal cars
Of the drop-bottom hopper type. The |
delivery Of these will begin the latter |
part OF this week, and from fifteen
to twenty-five day will be put into
until the order is filled. |
This will give the Virginian 1000

pany possible delivery capacity of

ten days for a round trip
cry is only 66 per cent of the total
capacity Of the new coal pier when
running only ten hours a day.
Twenty additional engines are
now ordered and their delivery will
begin on Thursday of this week.
Twelve of these are Of the Mikado
type and are being manufactured by
the Baldwin people, at Philadelphia.
Eight more are being built by the
Locomotive Works, at
Richmond. The Mikado engine Is
the most powerful Of any used by
