Early Tuesday morning the cell

prompt action that considerable

Snow Wrecked Train

Theo. Flick and w. c. Simpson
returned Tuesday from Kansas
City where they had been the past
week or ten days on business
trip. They had an unusual exper-
ience on the return trip. An east
bound train was ditched by a
snowdrift in Government Cut east
of Dodge City, and it was two days
before the wreck could be cleared
away SO that westbound trains
could get through. The passeng-
ers on the delayed trains were
compelled to spend two days at
kinsley, Kansas, aud the accomo-
dations of the little town we're
sorely taxed. The Santa Fe rail
way company paid the expenses
of the passengers while they were
snowbound. A mail clerk, whose
home is in Denver, was slightly
injured when the eastbound train
was wrecked, but no others were
injured.

serve as trimming and just a trifle OF
some fine lace being added at neck and
sleeve edge as a finish.
Fichus are worn with many Of these
simple tub 'biouses, and sometimes
fichu and blouse are trimmed alike,
very pretty notion.
The Magyar type, with its seamless
shoulder and sleeve and its loose fall
Of material from shoulder to waist,
continues TO be the favorlte blouse
style.
In direct contrast to the tub blouses
there are smart little blouses of heavy
Irish crochet or the fashionable and
expensive venise, which mold the
lines of the figure without showing
fullness anywhere. These lace souses
are mounted over chiffon cloth, some
times in white, sometimes in delicate
color tints, and rather daring notion
is to wear the lacy blouse over flesh
colored chiffon. These lace blouses are
exquisitely shaped, for without trace
of fullness the lines must be easy and
unrestricted anywhere Such blouses
may sometimes be picked up very rea-
sonably from the peasants who so
aboard the ocean liners at Queenstown
and peddle laces to home going Ameri-
can travellers. In the blouse shops in
America, of course, they cost substan-
TALLY more, but such blouse viii pay
for itself over and over and may even
tually become a valuable heirloom, for
Irish lace practically never wears out.

upon herself to entertain the hand

Edward, who always earnestly dis
claimed matchmaking talent, has been
credited with making the match. Ger
tain it is that the royal set seemed
much pleased with the union.

there, and so, too. We're Prince and
Princess Alexander Of Teck, the Con-
naughts and hundred others of the
cream Of Great Brltain's aristoeracy.
The reception later at the home Of
the brides parents, palatial Dorches-
ter House, was a magnificent affair.
The bride received as a wedding gift
from her father Chiffon Lodge, twenty
five miles from London, one Of the
most attractive country places in Eng

new owners spent 100000 in remod-
