Mere man has seen Dame Fashion
From his wardrobe fine points seek
To placate tickle females
Always new styles she must exc
His walking stick she's seized on
And evolved those skirts unique
That ape his neither garments

New York, March 20.-In spite of
the fussy femininity of frills, puffs
and ruffles so prevalent on all the silk
and lingerie frocks and even on the
suits of MORE, taffeta and serge the
leaning toward masculine accessories
is becoming more and more marked.
No coat suit is complete or smart
these days without its swagger waist
coat of pique or linen, with flaring
collar attached Of course all of the
waistcoats are not of washable ma
terial, but those that are promise to
have the sanction of popularity.
More and more you see the walking
stick, slightly longer than its mascu
line prototype, being taken in girlish
and matronly hands. Indeed at many
of the dansants you see some of the
most modishly gotten up of the fash
ionable dancers tripping the light fan
tastic and tripping literally thus un-
encumbered.
You have long applied the adjec-
tives modest and shrinking to the sky
violet but the modern violet shade,
now affected so universally by the
1914 belle, is as violent and blatant
and unshrinkable as guaranteed dye
will make it. There is great run on
| all the shades from royal purple to
tender lavender with the fruity eff
fects of grape, prune and plum to boot.

Nothing seems safe from the tickle

Not content with restricting its change

the third left finger of all fashionable

what's what.

The tiny little summer coats and
wraps for wear over the lacey film of
lingerie frocks are almost too ador
able to be adequately described in cold
words.
They are as limp and slimpsy as
rags, but they are royal rags indeed.
The most delectable ones are built of
gaily dyed and flowered silk crep ,
and lined with a contrasting shade of
chiffon. They are all reversible and
when worn with the chiffon side out
the flowered glories of the crepe glow
through seductively. One exquisite
crepe of gold patterned in white, pink
and blue blossoms is shirred in a
loose puff around the neck and XII
mona sleeves and hangs like a little
loose sack to the waist line where it is
again finished with shirred putting.
| 1t is lined in old blue chiffon. Two
dolman like wraps, one of shlmmerlng
silver grey, the other of peach blow
are fashioned from that alluring fab

skin. Needless to mention, these airy

 There is one New Years greeting which the leaders in railroad management and some of the leaders in finance are ex- pressing with emphasis. That is the re- cent report of the interstate commerce commission made in reply to the man. agers of the so-called eastern railroad systems who ask for an increase of per cent. The increase, which was granted. will yield, it is estimated, to the rail- roads additional income of about S35, 600, = GOO year. It will be of no special benefit to the railroads of New England exeept indirectly. It is not the amount which the railroads will gain as the result of this permission to increase rates which is causing qualification so much as 1t is the spirit which is discovered in the rul- ing of the commission and also what may be read between the lines of this report The great service which the com mission has performed is the revival of confidence in railroad credit. and it is ap- parent that the majority members of the commission had full understanding of this important factor.
 Early in the year, probably, we shall see the effect of the decision in the first sue cessful efforts of the railroads in num- Der of years to secure fresh capital upon long time railroad securities. Railroad credit had been so impaired that munici- pal and state bonds have pushed even gilt-edged securities to one side. There IS no competent financier who has not realized for some time that the railroads cannot continue much longer the practice by necessity recently adopted of securing funds on short-time notes without seri- ousiy imperiling the financial situation, and it is also felt that it will be good financing for the railroads if, even at a higher rate of interest than in recent years they have been compelled to pay, they float long time securities. The de- csion or the interstate commerce com mission is accepted as good proof that the governmental authorities are now ready to assist the railroads in every req sonable way to restore their credit so that they may obtain the fresh capital of Which they stand so desperately in need.
