Sleeping in a Pullman Car

We are encouraged by the fact that
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail-
road has adopted, and the Railway
Age Gazette has discussed, regulations
intended to prevent much of the noise
which now makes railway sleeping"

has been characterized 1.-THE noiseless
route" The Railway Age Gazette
doubtingly remarks that the regula-
'ti0ns will be maintained with great
difficulty, but it may be taken as a
step In advance that one railroad COM
pany has formally recognized the uni
yersal annoyance Of unnecessary
noises in railway traffic We are not
30 unreasonably as to expect an en-
CINE fireman always to hold his steam

There has been a revolution in suit
building, and one has to take off one's
hat to the men who make women's
suits in token of the speed and ingen'
uity with which they have adopted
the new lines to the matter Of skirts
and jackets. But that doesn't help us
in the least.if. We have to wear last
years suit.
Neither does the statement that
fashions this spring are not radically
different from those of last autumn.
For fashions last autumn were radi-
cally different from those of the
spring.
However, the difficulty is, not so
great as lit looks, as an ingenious
dressmakeF who makes point of re-
modelling pointed out the other day.
A customer brought her a suit that
looked out of date, though it was in
good condition and had seen but one
summer. 1t was constructed of very
good quality of fine-wale, raven-blue
serge. There was a cut-away coat
with long ccattails that reached more
than half way to the knees. The
sleeves were long, and there was the
regular potched collar dear to the
tailor. The skirt was long and
straight, with a sort of sword sash
brought from one side of the belt to
the opposite hip and there tied.
Like all of last springs suit, it was
quite as remote from the new lines as
if it had been 10 or l. years old.
Just the thing to turn into one OF
the new serge and taffeta silk suits,
said the dressmaker, as she figured
forth in thought the suit after it had
been rernodeled. And within a few
minutes she had her scissors going,
working out the change.
First of ALL the skirt was ripped up
and the lining taken out Of the coat.
These were sent to be freshen2d by
the cleaner Then the coat tails were
cut off and the line Of the front was
sloped off to extend five or six inches
below the waist in back. The regula-
ton collar was also shOrn off and
the sleeves were shortened about six
inches.
The new materials selected were
half yard of one of the many-cOlored
metallic silks and several yards Of
chiffon taffeta matching the raven
blue of the serge.

MIR. and Mrs. T. J. Fitzpatrick Of
Lunalilo street gave an informal dane
ing party Friday evening last week
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Silva
and Miss Anna Farrell, who are
soon to depart for the coast. The
house was beautifully decorated for
the occasion and delicious refresh
ments were served late in the even
ing. A very delightful time was en-

and will be at home to their many
friends some time in the near future

Mrs. Gage, who until her wedding
on Tuesday evening, was Miss Estella
Barnes, leaves an enviable record of
service behind her. She first came to
Honolulu as economic secretary for
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation on February 26, 1913. Previ-
Gus to that time Mrs. Gage acted in
the same capacity in connection with
the Wichita, Kansas, association.
During her service of six years in
the organization, she has done much
to develop the work along advanced
lines, and since coming to Honolulu
as economic secretary, the Homestead
has been maintained on self-support-
ing basis. This energetic young wo-
man has also assisted greatly in the
social work. introducing the tradition
of the birthday dinners at the Home
stead, and in many other ways con.
viving@ to create a home atmosphere
She is being keenly missed at pres.
ent by the girls at the house, who
with the members of the association
and the board of directors regret los
ing her as secretary, but all rejoice
with her in her new happiness and
extend to her many wishes for an
even greater happiness in her own
home.

ALTERING las I SPRINGS SUIT

From the taffeta the dressTnaker
fashioned a gracefully rolling Medici
collar and flaring turnback cuffs and
graduated flaring peplum about
eight inches long in front and Is in
back. The peplum was stitched over
a piping of the same material along
the bottom of the coat, and the cuffs
and collar were stitched on with mar
row bands of the metallic silk. A
narrow waiStcoat, with pockets, was
made of the same metallic silk and
fastened into position in the made
over coat. One of the new striped
coat Innings gave it the final touch of
distinction.
The skirt had to be remodeled and
this was done by using taffeta silk for
the upper part, about Is inches deep.
The lower portion was fashioned from
the old serge. A light peg-top effect
was produced with the soft folds of
the taffeta at the hips.
Plaid silk is much used in connec-
ton with suits this season, and this
can be combined in variety of ways
with the material Of the old suit. The
skirt can be rejuvenated by adding
yoke portion of the new material or
by putting on plated peplum reach
ing midway between the waist and
knees, shorter in back than in front.
Then there are the little pannierlike
side tunics made of some harmonizing
material that give the needed hip
breadth to the old suit.
Wide black mohair braid is used to
advantage on the old suits. and one
particularly pleasing model showing
short side tunics made of three slight
Iy fulled rows of eight-inch mohair
braid indicates a way to alter an old
suit

As Illustrating how much Alabama Isl
losing in not raising its own food and for
age crops, it can be stated that it takes
practically all of the cotton and corn
crops of the state to pay for the flour.
meat, hay and produce that comes into
Alabama from the outside. The estimate
has been carefully made that Alabama
spends sl50,0O0Ooo annually for her bread
and meat. and other food and forage
crops brought from the outside so that
her farmers are simply working to raise
one crop in order to buy food and raiment
when they should raise all crops and save
this tremendous outlay
This should be sufficient to enlist every
citizen of Alabama in the work of the
land congress, which is endeavoring to
have the farmers of the state raise all
food and forage crops consumed by its
people. 1t Is believed that concerted
movement, Joined by the press and bust
ness men of the state, can remedy the
foregoing conditions within two years.
Is there any other field that promises
anything Ike such returns? If this sum
created by the farmers every year ii
would enter every avenue of business and
soon make Alabama one of the most pros
porous states in the=union.
There are men of large interests
throughout Alabama who have not yet
been enlisted in the work of the land
congress, and who seem to think they
have no part in its labors. when the

Geneva county comes to the front as
the banner cotton county of Alabama
as the cotton crop of 1913 brought into
that county the sum of 800 600, while
Madison county is a good second with a
crop that approximates $SUOo,000. Per-
haps Madison would take the palm if her
live stock income was added, as that
county has been giving especial atten-
tion to the raising of horses, cattle and
hogs for several years past.
The other instance Is renter who
cultivated % acres or a one-horse crop
in Bowndes county, who raised products
all expenses, advances and rent. re-
ceived for himself $776, which was a
net profit of $50 per acre. or 10 per
cent interest ON a valuation of $3.50
per acre. t can be seen from these
two cases what a renter can do on
Alabama lands, but there are instances
all over the state where renters have

johnson Talks Two Hours

Almost two hours was devoted to an
involved explanation by Representative
Ben Johnson, who was supposed to be ad-
dressing the House on a question of per
sonal privilege, and several members were
greatly shocked and aggrieved that such
affrontery should be offered Congress q
the mere mention of an attempt-partic-
ularly an organized attempt to defeat any
of its members. A resolution of inve.ti-
cation was introduced and the House
devoted more time to the chasing of this
shadow than it did to the final act of the
currency bill. The resolution would prol
ably have been dumped on the district
committee with instructions for an Inn
