Wooden materials are of the coarsest
weaves.
Figured silks are vying with two
toned effects for street and house
dresses.
Collarettes are of lace tu1le, hand
embroidered linen or figured net. Some
have touches of black velvet in the
form of tiny bows on the front.
Cloth of gold and silver tissue comes
again to a supple and glistening res
cue when the dull rose and mahogany
shades cry for contrasting touch.
Heavy lace incrusted with gems
shows that the styles so popular In the
winter have been recognized as worthy
of repetition for spring evening gowns.
Baby curls and ringlets have return
ed to fashions favor this season for
wear with the sugar-loaf hat. These
curls come over the ears and peep out
prettily from under the quaint but be-
coming little hat without a brim.
Morning blouses are particularly at
tractive If made Of striped or dotted
linen. The almost inevitable frills on
these models are of plain-colored
linen, and this addition brings the
shirtwaist or blouse into closer mar
mony with the colored skirt. 1t is al
most trite to add that these models
are collarless.
Large fiat hats have appeared with
flowers in wreaths encircling the low
crowns. This style is becoming to nine
out of ten women, for it is undeniable
that the long, sweeping lines of hats
will add to the charm of the face be-
meath and they are rarely trying to
the wearer on account of stiff or
straight effects.
The jumper waist Of marquisette or
wolfe is the "handiest thing ever" for
the woman who has a good skirt Of
fine material and no waist to match.
Make a jumper Of the same shade. 1t
is made with a round neck, half or
long sleeves, and is worn over a white
net waist. 1t does not have the ap-
pearance of a makeshift, and therein
lies one Of its chief attractions

Feminine DIiser.

Mlser" has always been recognized
as referring to men only The grim
picture of the miser has shown a
keen-faced, thin-chested man, bending
over his hoard. But recently several
women have died in great apparent
poverty, and their death has revealed
considerable sums of money hidden
among their poor belongings. In one
case the amount was amazingly large,
twenty thousand dollars being found

crosby, to one who is stingy, because
she loves the feeling that she has

Never was there more wastefully
misdirected force than in the career
OF the misery woman Think of her
self-denials, her cold-heartedness, as
sumed for her own end, her endurance
of hardness and her long years of ST.

fering is worse than useless does not
detract from the courage and persist

the coarsest and scantiest fare, to
SILVER in cold and stifle in heat, to
go ragged and dirty, and to know one
self hateful to ones little world-this
way of life, if chosen for a good and

Speaking about speed said a Santa
F'e railroad man the other day, why,

present schedule, had been carded

per And from the figures cited such
would have been the case, according to
the old timers.
Santa Fe men during the past few
weeks, since the announcement that
the time of the limited was to be cut
three hours and a half, have been
much interested in the speed question
and records of decade back have
been dug up and quoted by the old
timers. Santa Fe men laugh at the
published statement in a Los Angeles
PAPER that the Southern Pacific claim
ed the former road couldn't make the
time.
In the days a decade back it was
a common thing, say the veterans, for
passenger trains to make the run over
the division. from Barstow to Los An
geles, in four hours. The schedule time
OF the limited is now five hours and
it is indeed a rare occurrence when the
four-hour mark is reached. Freight
trains, in years past. have been known
to make the run from Los Angeles to
San Bernardino in an hour and a quar-
ter.
Despite the monster locomotives that
have been built of recent years, the
statement is made that the motive pow
er has not kept pace with the advance
of other equipment. The trains are
now vastly heavier. due to steel franz
ed cars and increase in size, than
those of eight or ten years ago. The
modern locomotives are greatly more

TNO-CEsNT FARE MAKES MONEY
Gain of $44O.356 Over Last Year in
State of Iowa.

Des Moines. March 1O.-Despite the
operations of the two-cent fare law,
the net earnings of the railroads in
Iowa gained total OF $440.356 in
1909 over the net earnings during the
year 1908. These figures are shown by
the annual report of the state railroad
commission, which is now in course
of preparation. In 1909 the net earn
ings OF the railroads were $18,697,-
SOTO, while in 1908 the net earnings
amounted to SIS, 257.251.62.
In 1909 it cost the railroads of Iowa
$1,1S2,S50 more to operate their rail-
roads than it did the year previous,
but the revenues for 1909 were $1,6OS,-
809.14 more than they were the pre-
vious year. The increased expense is
due to the fact that more equipment
was needed to handle the business in
1909 than in 1908 and this additional
business was sufficient to make the in
crease in revenues proportionately
larger than the increase in expenses.
In this connection it should be borne
in minc that the cost of steel and
other materials, used in the building of
the equipment Increased somewhat
during the year. so that all the facts
taken together show that there was
very material increase in the volume
of railroad business done in Iowa dur
ing the year 1903

men. If men now working under you
drink, tell them they must stop or

The order is the result of a number of

been discovered that the loss of proper

drinking employees. Mayors of cities
