- HE little debutante is in the /
~ hey day Of her fun and frOlic
just now. The ordeal of her
- debut has been gotten safely
through with early in December or
late in November. She has attended
her first opera, en- grand toilette;
she has danced at enough cotillions
to acquire a bushel basketfUl of
costly. delightful gimcracks, and
ahead of her is the gay round of holi-
day week festivities - luncheons,
dinner dances and cotillions arranged
especially for the younger set-not to
speak of the various weddings at
which she will act as bridesmaid or
maid of honor.
The little debutante frocks are ex-
quisite and it is remarkable. what
numbers of these little jeunne file
dresses may be picked up nowadays
In the better class shops, at really
moderate prices. The designs are
so simple, and such a very small
quantity of material is required that
perhaps the makers feel ashamed to
ask substantial prices. The debu-
tante frocks, also, are guiltless Of the
pailletted and diamante trimmings,
the fur, gold lace and velvet, that
make ordinary evening gowns so ex-
pensive. Two of these pretty little
dancing frOcks were exhibited in
Fifth Avenue window above S6th
street the other day. One frock was
palest pink, the other palest blue
chiffon, combined with white chiffon,
and the frocks were made all in one
piece; that is, the little shortwaisted
bodice was joined to the straight mar
row skirt and the dress was all ready
to slip on over a foundation of thin
satin, India silk, or perhaps a slip
made of an outwOrn party frock,
cleaned and cut on straight, narrow
lines. The white chiffon froek had
a deep hem of pale pink chiffon above
which the white chiffon was laid in
three deep tucks. The top OF the
skirt was gathered slightly into the
high girdIe of tucked white chiffon.
The surplice bodice had rather close
fitting and quite short sleeves finished
with pink chiffon hens and at the
front of the modest little round decol-
Ietage was a fat bow of pink chiffon,
intended as a background for pretty
brooch. The blue and white frock
was made in much the same way ex-
cept that instead of the tucks, the
skirt had a little pearl bead embroi-
derry above the blue chiffon hem, and
the decolletage was outlined with

RAILROADS ARE PICKING UP
July Makes Better Showing Than
June, but Not Up to Previous
Years.

1CaESS
Logan G. Mcpherson, director, and
Frank Haight Dixon, chief statistician
OF the bureau of railway economics,
Washington, d. c., have forwarded to
every financial officer of Minnesota
railroads a report that embraces the
results Of the operations of 221,148
miles Of railroad for the month of
July, and the finals for the fiscal year
that ended June 80. The showing is,
that while the total operating reven-
ues of the railroads decreased $40 a
mile for the fiscal year ending June
80, they decreased $22 a mile in July,
indicating an improvement and reac.
ton. although still running behind
the year preceding.
Total operating expenses of. all the
roads increased 1896 a mile in the fis-
cal year that ended June 80. and in
July they decreased ST. a mile. The
report notes the initiation of econo-
mics, the results Of which are appar-
ent.
Net revenues from all sources, in
the fiscal year showed a decrease Of
1905 a mile, and in July the net rev.
enue decrease RAJ IS a mile, compar-
tsons being with the fiscal year pre-
ceding, in the first instance, and with
July, 1910, in the second. There has
been an improvement of geenral re-
suits. but the railroads are still oper-
ating at a disadvantage compared
with financial returns Of the years
1909 and 1910.

Ballad of Tins.

Tips of the good old summer time,
That went in the same old ways,
Handed out in the reckless prime
Of the dear vacation days.
They'd come in mighty handy now.
Those sheckels l idly spent:
They'd help to solve the problem
To settle for grub and rent.
Tips that the Pullman porter got.
And l didn't dare refuse;
Tips raked in by the clever lot
OF the grating diner crews.
Tips that 1 simply had to give
To stay at resort hotels:
Freely, too. for Il chance to live
With the other one-month swells.
Tips for the ones who held my grip
And toted it now and then;
For moving my trunks around a tip,
And tips for the taxi men.
Tips for brushing my clothes and hat.
And for bellhop and for maid;
A tip to this one and to that,
And the whole hold-up brigade.
Tips of the good old summer--wow:
For the ~hard-earned coin I spent!
The thought gives me a wrinkled
brow
And an aching discomfort.
