THE MODERN MIRROR.

Ewes pool could not have lent more
charm to her fair form than do the mir
rors of the present day to the woman
who would study her own features. The
old time mirror with its disfiguring, sal
low reflections is decidedly a thing of
the past, and it's successor Of clear. bril-
liant, beveled glass Is almost fattering
photographer. The deeper the glass the
more distinct is it's reflection, and a sim
pie way to ascertain its depth is to place
a pencil upon it. Tho space between the
pencils point and it's image shows the
depth Of the glass.
Milady Millionaire has the doors Of her
dressing room paneled with the finest
plate mirror SO that she may know there
is not frill to give her an ungraceful
curve or a lock to spoil the contour of
her couture. For her who is not so for
tunate, either the oval cheval glass or
the triplicate mirror Is very satisfac-
tory substitute. No woman who wishes
to appear her prettiest should dress With
out the aid of the latter. for there is
not a face whose two sides are alike,
and their relation to each other Is most
important These triplicate mirrors are
now within the reach OF every one,
glasses eight inches square with quaint
reasonable price. In the larger sizes
these mirrors have settings to match
any furniture, but they seem especially
brilliant in a framework Of ebony or
nickel.
Revolving glasses, with a plain mirror
on one side and magnifying mirror on
the other, are set high in nickel frames
which have holders for a candle on either
side Of the glass, grooves for the eyebrow
and makeup brushes. or the shaving
stick and brush, and, below these, recep-
tacles for cold cream jars and powder
puff or for the razor and shaving mug.
Standing mirrors for the dressing table
have costly frames of silver hligree,
square and heart shaped. One oblong
mirror, a foot and half high and seven
inches wide, has an inch-wide frame OF
plain fat silver. Another and less ex-
pensive article shows tall woman's
figure. an outstretched arm supporting
the glass, while the clingfng drapery OF
the skirt sweeps around the feet and
under the mirror. Circular hand glasses
are built with tapestry backs having
miniature of porcelain in the center The
old-fashioned, oblong mirror with round
ed corners is shown with back of rich
red porcelain surmounted by dull figures
and held by a lohg gilt handle headed
with eagle wings.

RAILROADS LIKELY
TO GET INCREASE
Interstate Commerce Cemmis-
sion Convinced By Evidence,
SHOWING SEEMS CONCLUSIVE
Early Decision Urged In Order That
the Present Uncertainty May
Be Ended and Business
Stimulated.

Washington, D. C.-The impression
is becoming more widespread every
day that the Interstate Commerce
Commission will grant the Eastern
railroads a substantial increase in
rates as q result of the convincing
testimony submitted by them since
5 per cent. advance case was begun.
Carriers involved may not receive
the full per cent. they have asked
for. 1t is quite probable that a blanket
order to this effect will not be issued
but an increase that will go far toward
meeting the financial needs Of the rail
roads seems to be assured.
And if the full amount involved in
the present proceedings is denied by
the commission the reason will be, it
is now believed, that the commission
ers have effected savings in other di-
rections which, they hope, will COM
pensate the roads through the con-
servation Of the revenue received un-
der the present rate status.
For instance, the commission has
conducted a simultaneous investiga-
ton into the free or cheap service
given by common carriers to private
lines, to tap lines, in switching, in
spotting cars and in handling of
freight at terminals. All these ele-
ments have been brought into associa-
ton with the advance asked for and
they promise to play an important
part in the findings of the board.
Representatives of the carriers who
have appeared before the commission
have readily granted the importance
Of the inquiry into these side issues.
They have welcomed any readjustment
of the relations of the railroads to the
private lines and terminal companies
that will save their companies money,
but they have never agreed that the
sum involved in this free service is
large enough to meet the exactions
outlined in the pending case.
The commission is under direct pres
sure and influence from every quarter
to render its decision at the earliest
practicable moment. The carriers are
for expedition. The whole business
world, in fact, is urging that the pres
ent uncertainty be ended at the earliest
possible moment.
Practically all testimony, for and
against the railroads, has been sub
mitted. The arguments will be short
and the briefs will be easily digested.
There seems no likelihood, therefore,
that the doubt in this quarter will con-
tinue much longer.

ExtraVagant Outlay Distinguish
ing Feature of Easter Parade.
SILKS REVEAL FIGURES
While the Exhibition OF Color Was
5arbarie, There Was Also the
Saving Grace Of Good
Taste.

Atlantic City, N. J.-While many
said that the Easter parade was con
servative, others declared it was the
most barbaric exhibition of color and
variety in dress they had ever seen
It was both. 1t was a spectacle OF
spectacles, but sensationalism was
absent and good taste predominated.
1t was a well-ordered throng, too, be-
cause there were only % policemen,
one stationed at each intersection.
1t is safe to say that never before
have there been such stunning cos
tunes and such an apparent expendi-
ture of money to make them stunning.
There was an astonishing number of
sheer silk gowns, sharply outlining
graceful figures. Flounced skirts num-
bered thousands, while the tier skirts
in every conceivable fashion of in
dividual selections were equally numer-
GUS. Some of the rufles stood out
stif1y as if they had been wired.
Some of those who delight in study
ing the latest whims OF fashion thought
for a time that the promised dress
sandal for milady had actually arrived
from Paris. The cause of the commo-
ton was a new kind Of slipper of the
thinnest leather, and pink in color
with straps passing up and around the
ankle, where they were secured with
pins big as the customary slipper
buckle. All this was revealed at the
"fatiron corner" when the wind blew
a little harder than usual
What the men call baggy skirts were
simply innumerable, but a great ma
jority Of the women preferred the
closer fitting garment. Next to black,
blue predominated, but there were
Of others of every hue of the
rainbow.
Tango garters made of lace and at
tached at the knee were revealed under
several slit skirts as substitutes for
pettieoats. Countless were the skirts
and bolero jackets constructed of large
howered materials, some of the jackets
almost suggesting kimonos in their
brevity.
Many maids and matrons carried tall

WILL. ENFORCE
SALUTE TO FLAG
Wilson Expects Huerta to Com
ply With His Demand.
REFUSAL WOULD BE SERIOUS
The President Confident That the
Mexioans Will Salute the stars
and stripes-NaVaI Off
GERS Are Confident.

Washington, d. C.-Upon whether
the commander of the Huerta forces
at Tampico salutes the American flag
in apology for the arrest of American
marines depend immediate develop
ments in the Mexican situation.
President Wilson declared unofficial aiteiss4l
ly that he expected the federal COM
mander at Tampico to fire a salute to
the Stars and Stripes as demanded by
Rear Admiral Mayo. and he spoke with
a confidence that implied insistence.
The Navy Department was still unad-
vised as to whether or not the salute
had been fired. 1t is understood that
instructions have been sent to Charge
O'Shaughnessy to represent to the
Huerta government the feeling of the
administration here over the affront,
but there has been no announcement
on the subject
The presence in Washington of John
Lind, President Wilson's principal rep
resentative in Mexico for the last eight
months, gave the Washington govern
ment an adviser with special knowl-
edge Of the military situation at Tam
pico. Mr.. Lind reached here from Vera
Cruz aboard the Presidential yacht
Mayfower and spent several hours
with Secretary Bryan Authoritative
ly it is stated that Mr.. Lind's reports
on the general situation were so COM
prehensive and complete that he really
did not have to come to Washington to
supplement them.
Mr.. Lind himself was uncommuni-
cative, saying merely that he had
sought vacation and was at the or
ders of the government While he has
kept the President and Secretary
Bryan informed constantly about de-
velopments, his presence here at this
time is considered opportune should
any unusual situation arise out of the
demand for salute at Tampico.
Administration officials are hoping
that the salute will be fired and the
incident closed.
At the Navy Department there was
apparent singular confidence that the
salute would be fred at Tampico. This
was based, it was said, in some
measure upon knowledge of the tre-
mendous offensive power of the Ameri-
can feet now in the harbor or just
outside of Tampico.
