THE DINNER GOWN.

The dinner cow of the present is
artistic In every sense of the word.
The return of the train and the shawl
drapery makes this gown one of grace
and fascination.
Fringe trimmings are used lavishly
upon the shawl draperies. A novel
dinner dress had an underskirt of pale
green satin made with a pointed train.
Silk fringe bordered the hem. A double
drapery brought around from the back
of the skirt was caught with a large
~satin-coyered button. This overdrapery
had an edging of the fringe.
The bodice was fashioned of pale
green silk gauze brocaded with silver.
This was cut coal shape with long
sides in two points and bordered With
green silk fringe. The short sleeves
We're edged with the fringe to CORE
spond. A vest OF silver net was crossed
by bands of black velvet.
The girdle was of black velvet, and
the V-shaped opening of the corsage
was outlined by a pleated frili of
alencon lace. A draped scarf of satin,
shot with silver and adorned at one
side by a bunch of aigrettes, completed
the costume.

For Chapped Hands.

Dear MISS Doom:
What can 1 do to keep my hands from
chapping? No matter how careful I am
they will chap and they are SO red and un-
slightly and often sore. Anything that
you can recommend to improve this con-
ditlon Will be much appreciated. Very
truly yours, Ia.
You do not dry YOU hands carefully
enough after washing them. This is
often the cause Of hands chapping. If
you will spend more time drying the
moisture from the hands after washing,
and not even stop with this, but
massage them each with the palm of
the other until you are sure they are
not only dry, but soft and smooth, you
will not suffer from this annoying
condition. Massage the hands carefully
every night with a good cold cream,
wearing cotton gloves that do not At
too closely, and you wi. find the condi-
ton much improved. Corn meal or al
mond meal is excellent to use in wash
ing n drying the hands.

To Shorten RaincOat.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS doom.
Please let me know the best way to fas-
ten the hem on the bottom of a raincoat
without iDjuring the outside of the gar
ment. The coat is too long and I want to
turn 1t up. And oblige, e. McC.
Perhaps it would be better to rip the
hem of your coat and make a fresh
turn. This would make 1t less bulky
at the lower edge and admit of fresh
stitching, as stitching Is the only way
I know of to keep the hem properly in
place. This should not mark the ma
terial in an unsightly way If it has
been previously stitched.

Saturday morning car No. 26, of the GrCAin and Stonington road, due to arrive in Westerly from Groton at 945, left the rails at the Mechanic street curve near the plant of the c. B. Cottren and Sons company. Just as the car left the grooved rail in the curve the axle of the forward pair of wheels in the truck broke: Motorman Andrew Tillinghast applied the brakes, but the car kept bound- ing along for a distance of nearly thirty feet, when it veered to the right and the forward wheels smashed against the ci1rbing directly in front of the house now occupied by the White family and which was the old homestead of the COttrell family. The car passed between a telephone pole and a large tree, grazing the tree by two inches and catching the guy wire of the pole, snapped the pole in two, so that the pole leaned against the car when the car came to a stand still. The fender had struck the or uamental iron fence and smashed about fifteen feet of it. The car was headed almost directly for the front door of the house and came within six feet of entry.
 The breaking of the axle and the crash was all done within half a minute. When Conductor Everett Barber made examination it was found that none of the passengers were even slightly injured and that not a pane of glass in the car was broken, and that both he and the motorman had escaped injury. Another peculiar feature of the accident was that, al though the forward end of the car was across the narrow sidewalk with its nose against the fence, the rear truck of the car was on the rails, due to the pivotal action of the truck.
 Just ahead of car No. 26 was the express car and on board of that car was Thomas W. Riley, superintendent of passenger and freight and until re- cently superintendent of the Groton and Stonington road. As sooIf as he made an examination. he went with the express car to Westerly head quarters and reported the accident to Stephen Kehoe, the new superintend- ent of railway and equipment of the united companies. In short order the work crew arrived from Mystic and under direction of Superintendent Ke- hoe, assisted by Superintendent Riley, the damaged car was hauled back onto the rails and taken to the Mystic car barn. The accident caused a delay to two of the regularly scheduled trips.
 The carrying away Of the pole dis arranged the electric light and tele- phone system and workmen made prompt temporary repairs in remark ably short order working connections being made before the car had been moved. The accident attracted a large number of people to Mechanic street Among the first arrivals were a cou- pts of enterprising camera men and piosures of the wreck were on sale ID the afternoon.
