After the railroad wreck at Western
Springs, in which a woman operators 8
responsibility was involved, it was found
by the coroner's jury that rule 90, which
directs that trains approaching signals
in stormy or foggy weather shall be
held under control. had been violated by
the engineers OF three different trains
and that IL this rule had been strictly
observed. the accident could not have
happened.
The jury further found that the flag
man did not do his full duty, in that he
did not go back a sufficient distance 10
protect his train, although he had time
enough TO go much further back than he
did. The Jury found that the woman
operator did not make any mistake in
setting her signals and that ''she violated
no rule"

A Washington woman has made a dis-
covery which should be of inestimable
value to hundreds Of other women who
waste a deal Of time every spring in an
effort to decide where they shall spend
the summer. and wind up In the fall with
feeling of disappointment in the place
eventually selected.
You see, I have been so in the habit
of leaving the city for the greater part
of the summer that It didn't occur to e.
last spring that there might be a more
sensible thing to do" this woman told
me.

cation.

too good to be true, this plan of mine
which portended a happy summer for
him.
Business is not so pressing in the
summer months that John cannot get
OF early. SO I met him down town
many pleasant afternoons, and We went
out for happy little Iarks. and every
weekend we have gone on a pleasant
taunt, usually down the river. Twice
we hove gone down to Old Point for a
Saturday and Sunday, and many times
to. nearer places. 1 never knew before
that there are SO many places where
one may have genuinely good time
as there are in and around Washington.

evenings We have spent together right

happy little tour.
Necessity Only of Imagination.
This business of going away for the
summer Is a necessity only of the imag-
ination. The fact of the matter is that
any one who has a mind to do 30 can
find much more comfort in cool eight
room house. where one has plenty Of
the other things that go to make up crea-
ture comfort, than can ever be found
in a stuffy little hotel room which isn't
big enough for the normal woman to
change her mind in.
Until this year my summers have

uncongenial environments. away from
my husband, in miserable idleness, all
for the sake OF keeping up a silly Gus

neve that working in a signal tower is
proper employment for a woman"
This conclusion has prompted Miss So
phonisba P. Breckenridge, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. TO ask: From this evt-
dence. would IL not be as reasonable to
ask that no men should be employed in
the future as engineers or fiagmen. as
to ask that no women be employed as
tower operators? Since innumerabIe
wrecks have occurred for which men
have been solely responsible. II seems
hardly fair to ask. as a result of this
first wreck with which a woman employe
OF the road has been connected. that the
employment OF all women tower opera
tors should be discontinued
Again. IL is pointed out, woman's ever
increasing economic need makes II in
eyttable that she shall be allowed access
to even those fields OF employment which
call for certainty Of understanding. forti-
tude. and endurance, and cool Judgment
in times of danger. qualities acquired
through training and experience.

OF FRINGE ARE
PRETTY AND INEXPENSIVE

. The woman whose purse is slim and
whose desires are great will welcome the
fact that feathers made OF fringe are
fashionable.
\ fringe feather sounds funny. does 1t
not? But II is not a bit queer looking;
unusual, perhaps, and very graceful.
What woman. in her innermost SOUL
does not cherish a passion for the long,
beautiful ostrich plume? How many can
afford TO give that passion free rein?
A few years ago (women were salts
fed to bedeck themselves in curly ostrich
feathers that measured twelve or four
teen inches, sometimes less, and were
quite happy with them; but now long
willow" plumes measure from eighteen
to thirty-siX inches, and cost many times
the amount OF the small natural feather.
These long. costly plumes being out Of
reach OF many, beautiful substitute
has come to us from Paris. and these
are quite easy to make at home, II you
can WELD a needle.
What Is Required.
For an eighteen-inch plume you will
require one yard and a half of wide
fringe. six or eight inches deep. a piece
OF round silk-covered milliner's wire
eighteen inches long. heavy and strong,
and half yard OF inch-wide satin rib
bon the color OF the fringe.
First Of all. cover the wire with the
ribbon. sewing II very securely and keep
ing the seam straight; now to the rib
bon-covered wire three rows of fringe
are sewed. covering the seam in the rib
bon and leaving a narrow strip of rib
bon to show. that will correspond to the
rib on the natural feather.
Great care must be taken in sewing
on the fringe, as the whole appeara nee
OF the feather depends upon It; 1t must
be done neatly, cpnCealing the stitches
as much as possible.
Having the fringe attached to the wire,
one end--the top of the feather-must
be bent over in a curve to resemble the
natural curve in the real feathers: then.
with a heated curling iron-nearly every
woman has one, and II she Is blessed
with naturally curly hair and does not
need one. II can be bought for n few
cents at any dry good store-the ends Of
the fringe are curled inward, just little
way, and then shaken out until they are
fluffy and as near like the real feather
as 1t is possible TO make them appear.
Completed Feather.
There you are-the work Is all finished,
and the feather of fringe is ready to
be sewed on to your hat. where it will
droop over the brim in a most fascinat-
ing manner.
The charm of this homemade feather
lies in the fact that the cost Is very
small and that you can indulge In any
color you wish. matching the hat itself
or the gown with which II is to be worn.
Why not make one OF them and try
the effect on the midsummer or early
fall hat?

ambiguous message Even at that. II
was submitted. II the engineer had obey
ed the rules OF the road. and had the
fiagman done his full duty. there would
have been no accident.
The accusation lodged against the wo-
man operator was that she had not dis
played good Judgment, because after two
engineers had ignored her signals, she
had net decided that the third would do
likewise.
Coroner Hoffman, 1t Is said. has ad-
mitted that he tried to influence his jury
to bring into the verdict a criticism OF
railroads which employ women in signal
tower positions. He points out that wom-
en- are physically weaker than men; that.
in his opinion, they lack certainty of un-
derstanding. fortitude. and endurance.
and that they are not habituated to cool
judgment in times OF danger; and he
adds:

As a decorative adjunct to the in
terror, the japanese have always been
credited with recognizing and availing
themselves of the screen when planning
the furnishing of a house. And from
the East 10 the West women have been
taught also how useful the screen can
be in a decorative scheme.
Bv screen perhaps one insensibly
means the usual four-fold arrangement
but 1t is also meant to convey the finely
carved and artistically designed oak or
similar wood erection which one finds
sometimes used instead of doors. But
such a screen must be in the right
place, and decorators have long since
realized how fine an effect can be pro-
duced by the right kind Of screen in the
right place.
Architects Know Their Value.
And now architects are commencing
to know its value, and in modern
houses the screen is, to a certain extent,
replacing the old-fashioned door. That
is to say. in a house boasting OF five
rooms and not in a suburban villa resi-
dence. By the substitution Of The screen
for the ordinary door a house of vis-
tas is the result. Long rooms leading
one from the other, the decoration Of
each so arranged that the color scheme
and furnishing seem to blend artistically
to form a perfect whole. And that Is
where the decorator triumphs.
To-day the four-leaf screen has per-
haps reached a eliminating point in
artistic conception, and in the exquisite
handwork which distinguish the screens
which come to America from japan, al
though there are many beautiful ex-
amples which are made here
For instance, for'a Louis XIV drawing
room nothing could be more in harmony
with the period than a screen in old rose
brocade with applique panels in tapestry.
The latest Japanese screens are the
work of artists who understand and ap-
preciate the blending of the most delicate
colors and the most crude colors, and the
result is a masterpiece Of needlework.
Latest Japanese Screens.
On a dark background one design rep
resents a tall tree standing in a meadow,
and in the long grass are seen tiny white
wild flowers. In another panel there is a
tree overlooking a pool, the branches
casting deep shadows in the water. The
framework of the screen is lacquer.
Another beautiful screen represents
Mount Fujiyama and the Inland Sea.
the rosy light reflected from the snow
clad peak shining on the water: be-
side the lake, standing sentinel there is
a tall tree, the light shining on the
trunk and turning it to green and gold.
In the water there are some white ducks
disporting themselves. Each panel Of this
screen forms a complete picture.
Perhaps the most beautiful Of all was
the screen in dull black cloth, which
formed a perfect background for the
scene depicted, tall purple and white iris
growing in a pool the tall spiky leaves
being SO absolutely perfect and he fow-
ers SO wonderfully worked as to make one
doubt whether II could be embroidery.
