The Tricorne.

Three-cornered toques never go
quite out of fashion. They are too be-
coming. Not to all, however. A face
like Jove, an eye like Mars, nose
like distant mountain range, do not
go well with the coquettish sugges-
ton of such a form of headgear. It
suits saucy face, mutinously def
ant expression such as youth wears In
some of its gayest moments. The lat
est edition Of the tricorne has the
point in the center, set on quite
straight, material black velvet Of felt,
with white feather rising high above
the point. The hair is pushed down
under it and appears in curls all
round the face.

enough TO slip on the hand and arm

favorable to the railroads reports that tho
commission will grant the 1at 3 per cent.
Increase asked by the railroads should be
taken with considerable reservation.
The understanding in reliably informed
circles here is that the commission Vs. II
not grant all the increases asked by the
railroads, notably on commodities whose
rates have been passed on by the comm -
sion within the last year or so and held
to he reasonable.
The commission. 1t IL known. believes
now that the railroads on some items of
freight would be justified in Increasing
their rate much beyond the 3 per cent
asked but the commission is unable In the
present proceedings to give In these cases
more than the amount hY,d by the rail
roads in their new TARIFF. which is per
cent
Under these circumstances L is apparent
that the commission, IL II stands by
rates which 1t has specifically declared
to be reasonable within the last year
will not be able To give the FIAT per
cent increase sought by the roads.
There Is every indication, however. that
allowances will be made in the matter OF
Increased passenger rates and In other
directions which will yield the $50, 00O, 600

Secretary Garrison, on the other hand.
