In the Woman's Home Companion
Margaret Busbee Shipp, writing love
story entitled Sweet Margaret" pre-
sents a character who comments, as
follows, on woman's conversation:

never known how to talk to women.
They embarrass me; they - er -

A residence should not be too plain
and unornamented in its appearance /;
yet at the same time there is no need
of going to extravagant lengths in the
pursuit Of architectural beauty.
Many try so hard in their desire
for an artistic home and in their alb
horrence of the plain, box-like houses
that the designs they finally work out
and follow in building remind one of
q Chinese pagoda, or of a pavilion at
the county fair.
1t is good thing to look after the
artistic in house designs. but always
with moderation.
The little house illustrated in the
accompanying perspective sketch and
floor plans is of very attractive de-
sign that is very popular. In this
house there are a number of very
pleasing features which give the build
ing distinctive appearance; yet these
are in good taste and the dwelling
has a sensible, homelike appearance.
With a good brick or solid concrete
foundation, the first story Of this
house is covered with clapboards,
while the second story is finished with
cement plaster stucco, divided into
panels in the English half-timber style.
The second story also projects slight
ly beyond the line of the first, in that
way keeping true to the English Eliz-
abethan models.
With the woodwork painted a soft
brown and with the stucco panels a
yellowish tint, an exceptionally at
tractive appearance is secured. There
are a number of other artistic color
combinations that suggest themselves

Absurd Comment.

Theodore Dresser, the realist, said
of an idealist at the Players club in
New York:
"The mans comments on life are
ludicrous and absurd. They remind me
of the old lady's comment on the work
Of the militant suffragettes.
After the suffragettes in London
had slashed Valesquez, Bellini and
Gentle, the old lady said, with a
kind of-saintly expression:
But, thank goodness, they're all
old pictures that are being slashed.'

RAILWAY EXPENSES UP
ENGINES, CARS, MATERIALS AND
LABOR COST MORE.
Prices Of Ties and Other Items Have
Nearly Doubled In Ten Years-Re-
pairs and Renewals Are
Expensive.

The high cost of living has hit the
railroads, and has hit them hard, ac-
cording to some figures issued by the
Lehigh Valley railroad. Taking a pc
Rod of is years, from 1898 TO 1918, the
Lehigh Valley shows with figures from
its own books that all items of expense
have increased astonishingly. In some
! cases expense has doubled.
Take the important question Of the
track. The maintenance of way ex-
pense per mile of track was $725.66 in
1898. Last year it was S1,524.13, more
than twice as much. This is princi-
pally due to more expensive and heav-
Ter rails, ties that have almost doubled
in price, heavier ballasting and the in
creased cost of labor. The necessity
for a heavier track to carry heavier
equipment has, of course, had some
thing to do with 1t, and, then, again,
creosoting ties has also doubled their
cost, making the cost of ties today
four times what it was Is years ago.
Per mile of road the same proportion
holds, the expense having jumped
in Is years from $1,41747 a year to
S3,924,56.
A wooden passenger coach used to
cost $4,000. The new steel coaches,
which the Lehigh Valley is using. cost
$4,000 Meanwhile, however, there
is the undoubted assurance that they
are safer.
A standard freight locomotive costs
$4,000, where it cost only $4,000 in
1898. Repairs have jumped in pro-
portion per locomotive from $1,50S.05
year to $2,692.38. This is largely off
set, however, by the increased trac-
tive power of the standard locomo-
tive.
Where the high cost of railroading
is most apparent, though, is in gen
eral repairs and renewals. Here the
increased cost of both material and
labor shows convincingly. On a pas
senger car this item has increased
from $510.27 to $S24.15. On a freight
car it is now $7006, where it was
S31.69 Is years ago. For locomotives
there is the difference in the cost of
upkeep between 10 cents and 4 cents
a mile.
In these items labor, of course, is
counted on. This has figured for all
railroads as 10 per cent increase. In
the operating of trains 1t is much
more than 10 per cent, however, as the
engineers, conductors and trainmen
have had the biggest increases in pay,
and the full train-crew bills in passen-
ger runs increased the pay roll by
40.2 per cent.
The interesting part of these extra
expenses have been largely met by
efficiency and better methods of rail-
reading. 1t has been impossible to
meet them entirely, and that is why
the railroads have been asking for
a 5 per cent increase in freight rates,
but it is remarkable how much the
railroads have done in the face of the
big expenses. AS fast as they can
they are replacing wooden cars VITA
steel cars, costing half as much again;
their roadbeds are far ahead of what
they were Is years ago, and any one
who ships freight knows that the
freight service of today is so far ahead
in promptness and certainty that
there is no comparing it with Is
years ago.
