those wars. That is less than twice
the number Of street victims In New
York last year. The war Of 1872 with
Great Britain, lasting four years, took
the lives OF 65 American officers and
1926 men. That was hot contest,
but the average number OF casualties
each year was considerably less than
I23.
The war with Spain created plenty
OF excitement. but Spanish bullets
and shells did not play the same
amount of havoc with Americans as
did the city's vehicles in 1911. Take,
for instance, the fighting around San
tiage from June 22 to July II, 1898.
This resulted in the death OF 81 Off
GERS and 222 men attached to the
Fifth army corps, while 101 officers
and 1874 were wounded.
These figures are Illuminating. in
asmuch as they show that the reck-
less and careless driver. be he chauf
feur, motorman or whip, is already a
menace to the city's peace and CON-
fort. And, although he kills, he
usually goes unpublished. He is free
to kill again. The law rarely holds
him accountable for his crime, and
the family of the victim has no re-
dress and receives no pension.

FOR Feminine FAVOR
GORGEOUS FABRICS ARE ~
RIVALRY THIS SEASON.
chsrmeuse and Crepe Meteor Seem
to Lead In Popularity for the Aft

Gown.

Truly gorgeous are the fabrics this
season-shimmering expanses OF rich

such different ones! But they are,
nearly all. very handsome, 30 that
Mllady has wide choice.
For the little afternoon, or street or

feminine favor. These two silks look
much alike and give the same general
effect. being soft and clinging and
graceful. The crepe meteor Is the
lighter silk in weight, and is rather
more loosely woven than in the char
meuse. II has rather a creepy finish
on the back, which the charmeuse,
while having the same brilliant and
satin-look finish. looks more like cot
ton on the reverse side and is heavier
in weight. Both fabrics make charm
ing gowns-and they make just as
lovely evening gowns as day frocks-
but do not expect them to give I'M
usually long and durable service, for
you will be disappointed. They will
give good wear-but handle them
carefully!

striped silks. displayed in the silk
shops, be no. alarmed. We are not

serve their purpose best when cut
into sash lengths and shapes and are
used on black or white or blue gowns
when they are very effective indeed.
1t is a pleasure and surprise to
pick up the brocaded satins which
promise to be so fashionable, to dis
cover how light in weight and graceful
they are. Instead Of being the stiff
dashboard type. they are as soft as
charmeuse And they are so pretty,
when made up! The taupe shades
which are so modish are particularly
pretty for daytime purposes, while
there are any number Of delicate
pinks. blues and yellows of evening
