cow HOLDS UP THE TRAIN
Refuses to Leave the Tracks and
Marches into Newark; Where
She Comes to Grief.

New York.-A Jersey cow wandered
onto the tracks of the Erie railroad
near Newark and when presently over
taken by train refused to get off.
The warnings of bell and whistle
were of no avail, and the efforts of
the trainmen to throw her off were
not successful.
The cow went on into Newark, and
upon reaching the bridge over the Pas
sale river left the tracks and marched
across on the footpath, in spite Of the
attempts of the bridgetenders to stop
her.
Then she returned to the tracks and
went on to the bridge over Passaic
avenue, in East Newark, where there
was no footpath. Here her legs
slipped down through the gaps be-
tween the ties, and she stayed there
helpless until workmen with hosting
apparatus brought her out.

certain style features which ere
worth inquiring into, since this young
lady Is very sophisticated and keen
and discriminating, when it comes to
the matter of making selections. One
of those new hairdreesings which have
compelled her approval is shown here

terry the French twist, made of a mass

The most noticeable points in this

already occasionally fulfilled, of puffs

UP ON MOUNT BLANC.
Rarefied Air Makes One Gasp,
Says Writer.
View From Lofty Mountain of Switzer-
land Is incompatible, the Piano.
ramic View Being So Immense
That Details Are Lost.

Washington, y. C.-"The heart
thumps irregularly, the pulse goes UP
to 100. your knees knock together, and
your poor legs seem unwilling to car
ry you. Your throat is parched, you
feel suffocated, your chest seems
loaded down with a great weight, and
such a feeling of utter exhaustion!"
This is not patent medicine adver-
tisement. 1t is Walter WOODBURY.
Hyde's description of ones condition
on reaching the summit of Mont Blanc,
Switzerland, as written to the ma
tional geographic society at Washing
ton, ID. G..
THE air has now become SO rare
that even the stoutest guide is COM
PEELED to take breath every few steps,"
he continues. IF you ever saw an
asthmatic man trying to walk up hill
while a paroxysm was on him, you can
form some idea of the last part of the
ascent. And what do you think is the
first use made of the glorious view
after all these hours of toll? Do you
open your eyes wide in establishment
at the wonderful sight? By no means!
You shut them as tight as you can and
throw yourself down on the snow in
utter WEAKNESS of mind and body, re-
senting the impertinence of your
guides. who urge you to look about.
But it is too cold to sleep, and soon
you are up trying to keep warm.
THE view, if you have any desire
to see it, is indeed Incompatible. The
panorama before you is immense; but
everything is on such grand scale,
great agglomerations of plains and
mountains, that all details escape you.
Most of Switzerland, great portions of
France as far south as Lyons, and the
plains of Piedmont and Lombardy, In
Italy, are spread out before you. The
cold was so intense that five minutes
after arriving at the summit we were
all ready to begin the descent.
Although the ascent of Mont Blanc
offers no greater dangers than that of
some other Swiss mountains, it has
the name of being the longest and
most exhausting climb in the Alps.
While such peaks as the Matterhorn
and the Chamonix Aiguilles are so
formed that no great quantities of
snow can cling to their sides, and con-
sequently present for the most part
merely dangers incident to rock
climbing, Mont Blanc, from its peculiar
formation, is almost wholly buried in
its upper reaches in snow and glacier,
so that crevasses and avalanches and
all other dangers peculiar to snow
climbing are a constant menace to the
climber. The extreme cold and rarity
of the air as you approach the sum-
NIT are also serious obstacles. The
equipment for the two-days' journey
consists of ice axes, hob-nailed boots,

Tor the dance or the garden party
or for any other of summers fes-
tivities the ARREST and prettiest OF
gowns may be made like this one of
sheer organdy pictured here. And
there is any number of transparent
or semi-transparent materials from
which to make choice suited to the
design. There are the plain and fig
ured nets, voiles, swiss organdy, ba-
tiste, and the finer lawns, besides silk
muslin and chiffon.
This Is an American design, orig
inal and simple. 1t is prettily girlish
and need not shrink from comparison
with the product of any French estab-
lishment. There is an underskirt and
waist of silk muslin. For this under
slip the thin washable Chinese and
Japanese silks are desirable, for they
can be readily cleaned. A baby waist,
with rather full sleeves, and a plain,
moderately full Skirt, answers this
purpose and Is to be made as a sepa-
rate garment.
The outside skirt is also straight
and plain. 1t is trimmed into very
shallow scallops at the bottom and
these are finished with narrow ruff
lie Of very fine point d'esprit or val
lace, for which fine plain net may be
substituted
Over this skirt there is an over
skirt, somewhat fuller than the under
skirt, and cut at the bottom in the
same way, in shallow scallops, finished
with the lace edging. The overskirt

dy edged with lace. The rLlie for
lows the lines of the drapery in the
overskirt, which is caught up at each
side by a group of nine tiny tucks
placed over the hips.
The neck is cut square in front and
there is a square turnover collar OIL
lace in the back and edging Of lace
set in at the front. A strand of pearls
Is worn, most appropriately, with this,
as neck finish. Two smart access
series complete the costume. They
are a wide girdle of figured ribbon
and a cluster of little flowers, forget
me-nots and June roses, fastened I'M
der the overskirt at the left side The
girdle is finished at the back with a
fiat bow.
If it were not for the sleeves one
might say this gown lacks any dis
tinctively original and picturesque
touch. But they are features of inn
portance. The bodice, cut in kiniono
fashion, with full short sleeves, de-
ponds upon them for its smartness.
Set on to the short sleeve are shaped
rufIies of organdy headed by full
puff of the same. The rufies are cut
into long points in the manner of old
fashioned angel" sleeves. They
seem appropriately named in the va
pory material of this gown.
The unusually wide brim of the hal
worn with this gown is an Innovation
in shapes. The hat is made of mat
line with horsehair lace over 1t on the
crown and upper brim. There is a
sash of ribbon about the crown, with
flower medallions affixed to it.

the face than it has been. This is the
effect of hats which set less far down
on the head than those that preceded
them.
1t is not difficult to arrange the hair
in the manner pictured, but the way
ing is not so easy. A side comb is
worn with the long twist at the back,
and for dressy occasions a Spanish
comb makes an effective finish, thrust
in at the side near the top or at any
angle that is becoming to the wearer.
1t is quite the style to show the
forehead bare at one or both sides.
In the side part, as pictured here, the
left forehead is bare and a lock of
hair falls down at the right side and

the face are curled in tight ringlets.
