THE ROSE ROUTE.
Attractive Improvement Of Railroad
20 Eliminate Its Dust Nuisance.

The rose route TO New York" The
flowery phrase suggests a musical
comedy or a press agents weird imag-
ination. 1t is nothing of the sort, how
ever. for the words describe tersely
the probable ultimate result of the i'm
provement recently begun by the New
York. New Haven and Hartford rail
road. When the work is completed II
will be possible for grimy enginemen
to leap from the cabs at almost any
way station and gather an armful Of
roses to festoon about their levers, and
fresh bouquets may be procured for
the dining car tables anywhere along
the line. To be explicit, the railroad
between Providence and New London
is being beautifed on an elaborate
scale. Primarily the aim is not
aesthetic. The elimination of the dust
nuisance is the inspiring motive. For
several years the railroad officials have
been considering plans for bettering
conditions and have vainly sought
some sort of vegetation to cover ex-
posed sandy banks. The problem has
been studied not only because Of de-
sire to get rid of the annoyance to
| passengers, but also because the shift
ing sand has been directly responsible
for considerable expenditure in main
tanning tracks and rolling stock.
Getting rid of the dirt kicked up
from the surface of the track is a COM
paratively easy matter. as rock ballast
has passed the experimental stage, but
banishing the dust sucked in from the
sandy embankments by the trains was
much more difficult problem. Appeal
was made to landscape artists for a
species of vegetation that would cover
the soil and not be liable to take fire
easily from sparks of passing loco
motives. The experts recommended
Dorothy Perkins Rambler rosebushes
and late last fall a practical expert
ment was tried with 1900 bushes in
the deep cut north of Apponaug. The
bushes are planted in three rows in
the deepest parts of the cuts. 1t Is
claimed that under favorable con-
ditions they will send out shoots
twelve or fifteen feet long in season.
1t is planned to have them run up the
sandy embankments, and INTERVIEWING
form a solid tangled mat which, it is
believed, will effectively keep down
the dust and fine sand.-Providence

REST ROOMS TO

GREAT BENEFIT TO WOMEN.

Very Useful to Shoppers and Visitors

porting the Rooms - Increasing In
Numbers and Popularity - Brattle-
boro's Successful Venture.
In paper read at civics conference

Edward n. Pearson, the clubs presi-
dent, spoke on a phase of town i'm
provement which is both useful and

THE subject of city rest rooms be-
comes interesting when we learn of
places where they are successfully
supported. In every community there
are public spirited citizens who desire
to improve the condition of the home

ful or more habitable both for resi-
dent and visitor. 1t may be true that
Concord is conservative, but 1t is
equally true that when an appeal Is
made to further worthy object her
citizens respond generously. One of
the questions that interests us this
evening is, Does Concord need a rest
room? We answer, Yes, because there
are no rest accommodations that wo.
men may make use of while shop
ping or when detained here for any
reason. The hospitality Of the stores
has been gratefully accepted, but they
cannot offer the freedom a rest room
would provide. Among the patrons of
such a room there would be women
living in extreme parts of the town
who are obliged to take their young
children with them while shopping
and women from the adjoining towns
who from January to December leave

CLEVER IDEAS
FOR SUMMER.
NOW'S the Time TO Buy Ready
Made Gowns.

Now that the summer season is at
its height, the lines of hats, gowns,
parasols, and all are reduced to the
fewest, and the result is simplicity.
Isn't that always the story?
Almost every seasons opening finds
the woman with limited income and
good taste reduced TO despair. There
is nothing in the shops that she can
have. That is, nothing that she would
have, that she can.
Extremes of new styles are every
where that her purse reaches. OF
course, the best shops always show an
avoidance Of eXcesses, but for obvious
reasons the best shops are not her
shops. She must search around among
the Others, and her soul faints within
her at the monstrous hats, the over
trimmed suits and dresses, the cheap
gingerbready neckwear.
And this suggests the question, why
is 1t that the simple unadorned gar
ments are always the most expensive?
One would think the makers could
save on the trimmings and laces, and
give materials Of good quality and
good cut for the same prices that they
sell $1.OOO,OOO worth Of coarse lace,
soutache braid that everywhere marks
a suit as ready made, dinky little
bows, gilt and lace motifs, so-called.
that spoil what might have been a
nice plain collar. To come back to
the original matter. now is the time
when the summer styles are at their
prettiest. most tasteful and simplest
Now is good time to buy ready made
gowns, both because from now on the
prices viii be reduced and because all
the best designs have been copied In
cheaper goods-the best gowns, 1t can
not be said too often, being simple In
outline and detail. effective because OF
material and cutting.

Leftover Fish.

If you have small piece of fish left
from a meal, cut it into small bits and
put layer in the bottom of a deep
dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and
small pieces of onion. then add layer
of breadcrumbs and some cold mash
ed potatoes. Season this also, and con-
tinue your layers as before. Moisten

crumbs, with milk enough to let 1t

New Kind of Rom Der.

A new idea in children's rompers is
a circular cut designed more especially
for small girls play, because the full
ness created by the circular suggests
a skirt. 1t is made from pink and
white or blue and white checked
gingham. The sleeves are elbow
length, taken into band cuffs, and the
garment is prettily trimmed with mar.
row folds of white piping. This model
comes in sizes two to six years and
costs only 80 cents.
At the same price rompers may be
bought for babies from one to six
years Of age. The material is checked
gingham, made with square cut nech
and short pun sleeves.

A REST ROOM.

at doors the good things from the
farms and who would appreciate a
place where they were welcome to
rest, to eat their lunch and enjoy
refreshing cup of tea. During the
automobile season tourists would avail
themselves of the privileges Of a rest
room.
The progressive spirit in the west
and south is resulting in an increasing
number of these rooms each year. In
Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Idaho,
Iowa, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia
women's clubs have taken the initia-
tive. The president of the club in
Oakland. Neb., writes that the Com
mercial club co-operates with them in
furnishing fuel, light and one-half the
rent Furniture and reading matter
were donated by interested citizens. A
club in Oklahoma has recently opened
rest room for women from the rural
districts. The expenses are met by
weekly subscriptions of 25 cents from
the merchants, who are heartily in
favor of the enterprise. The presi-
dent of the Greenville (Tenn.) club
writes that four of the club members
Of tact and business ability called upon
every business man In town, soliciting
subscriptions and explaining the needs
Of rest room for the women of the
county and towns who came to Green
vile to do shopping. Without an ex-
ception the good cStizens contributed
literally to the cause. These contri-
buttons were used to buy the neces-
sary furniture. The women appeared
before the county commissioners, lay
ing their plea before the body Of men,
as a permanent fund. With this en-
cOuragement they secured two cen
trally located rooms. Each member of
the club gave something toward the
expenses Of a matron. These rooms
soon becoming inadequate for their
needs. two me re were added. one to
be used for a tea room. the other for
reading room. Again the rooms
were too small An eight room house
was rented. and now every room Is In
use.

year the ID. A. II. organization bought
