Train and Track.

In all the world there are less than
three times as many miles of railway
as there are in the United States Of
America alone.
The popular belief that the Panama
railroad was constructed at a cost Of
M life for every railroad tie is a
gross ex%aggeration. There were 14O,-
600 ties and in the five years of it's
construction a total Of 1000 laborers
were employed.
A recent estimate places the total
number Of niles Of single track rail-
road in the United States that have
been changed from steam to electric
operation at about 1000 miles, and the
same authority finds that approximate
~ 1900 miles of single railroad track
will probably during the next few
years be subjected to the same change.

The last word in women's clothes IL
"galluses." and these new suspenders
look very much like the broad blue
variety that granddad used to wear.
A French dressmaker is enthusiastic
over women wearing braces" as she
calls them, and insists that they will
keep the blouse from coming up out Of
the waistband. as it sometimes does.
and If carried out in the color Of the
skirt they make q charming line.
The illustration shows these ''gal-
luses'' in a modified form applied to a
gown of gray Grape. The braces in
this case are Of black velvet, a combi-
nation that is always good with pale
gray.
Braces are not the only masculine
trend Of fashion, however, for after a
wave Of decided femininity in frocks,
when puffs and frills and sashes and
slashes and hoppings and holdings
have been in style, fashion has dashed
to the other extreme, and we now have
long waistcoats with cutaway coats.
