Care of the Hands.

The season for chapped hands is fast
approaching. and. as preventive meas
ures are superior to remedial ones,
protect the Jacks of the hands as we'll
as the palms when using them to put
things in or to take them out of very
hot oven. Have half your kitchen
holders made of double size and stitch
ed together on three sides, so that the
hand can be thrust into them almost
IS into mitten. This will save the
hands from getting red, rough backs,
which readily crack and chap.

TOpCOATS WITH LONG WAISTS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.


special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1S.-It is no
easy to place the responsibility for tn
smartness of the new topcoat on tn
right person. No one cares. In fact thu
world is rather weary of arguing ant
exhaustlng words and opinion, tempe
and ink on the question which ha:
swept the continents: who's tt
blame:''
Last summer all the great designers
in Paris put forth good-looking mod
els in new coats as was to be expected
in France for the one masculine gar
meut that the French woman has not
accepted is the rough and ready top
coat that suggests a mans business
attire
The American woman has gladly ac-
cepted the Shapeiy coat of the present
moment. She likes the way it clines to
the body. the way it excludes cold air
from her waist and arms through its
tightness at the hip line
She found that the trouble with many
of the masculine topcoats was their
IoosencsS which let the winds pene-
trate through her thin bodice and up to
her open neck. She also found that the
nianuish coat of extra heavy tweed or
homespuu WAS TOO great weight Tor
shoulders if maintained for Il consid
cradle length of time; it was all very
we'll for the motor car. but most un-
comfortable for walking. For these
many reasons she was ready to re
Spond to Il new kind of coat.
She wanted Il kind that kept her
warm. that served for various occa :
Sions. that was good-lookiug on the
street in the afternoon well as the

Warm Colors Chosen.
Tho chief difficulty in choosing a top
coat is in the choice of Il color. One
does not wish something that clashes
with ones everyday clothes and yet
one cannot afford a coat that matches
only one skirt. There is wide
tendency toward n certain shade OF
deep green offset by dark fur. 1t Is
claimed that this tone goes with black.
blue. deep rose and gray, and it very
rarely becomes luxury through lack
Of usage. Cheruit used this color in
thick, warm. lightweight plush for her
topcoats, and the American market
has copied the idea and put out such
coats at reasonably small prices.
There is also a recrudeScence of
brown in two shades for topcoats, for
evening gowns and for coat suits, and
the average woman chooses either one
Of these as the best way out of the
difficulty: vet, brown is not an easy
color to assemble with other colorS. 1t

with gray and it rarely looks well with
black.
ono must take careful reckoning of
the skirts and frocks with which it is
to be worn before adding II to the
wardrobe. Even under the guidance of
this act of wisdom, the coat, If eXpen-
sive, may prove a luxury, for it may
not serve next season, and the ma
jority of women always hope to prac-
tice this kind of economy whenever it
is possible.

that Capt Robert Bartlett be sent to the

Admiral Peary's statement was prompt

ship, the Karluk. had been crushed in the
ice. led his people to safety on Wransel
Island, and then made a long and trying
Journey to obtain relief for them.

BASE BALL ROMANCE
LEADS TO THE ALTAR
Miss Alice Lumpkin Resigns Posi-
ton to Join Fiance in
the West.

A romance which had its beginning in
the grandstand at the Washington Base
Ball Park reached its climax Tuesday
when Miss Alice Lumpkin, clerk In
the office of public roads, Department or
Agriculture resigned her position ana
left for St Louis. where she is to meet
Burt Boree also employed in the once
of public roads, and become Mrs. Boree
Several years ago Boree. who is an
ardent base ball fan, was appointed to
a position in the Office of public roads,
coming to Washington trom the ft't
west Not long after coming to this
CITY Boree made the acquaintance OF
Miss Lumpkin. who was also deVotee
Of the national pastime.
Day after day the two, slipping away
from clerical labors in the Office, &C.
cupied seats in the grandstand at the
Florida avenue ground, where they ad-
mired the work of Walter Johnson.
George Mcbride and the others of the
team.
The mutual love of base ball became
the foundation upon which developed
another and even stronger affection,
and the two finally became engaged.
About a year ago Boree's love for
the west led him to seek a transfer.
and he was sent to Montana, where he
is now stationed. The fact that they
were separated by a good many hum
dred miles failed to weaken the af-
lection between Boree and Miss Lump
kin, and yesterday the latter reiin-
auished her position and left for st.
Louis. She is to meet Boree there
this evening; the couple are to be mar
ried at once and they will then go to
Montana Plans for the wedding were
kept a secret. and only a few of Miss
pumpkins most intimate friends knew
of her purpose of resigning and join
Ing her fiance in the west.

Western Maryland Finances.

BALTIMORE. June 4.-The long -desirea
and long-expected statement of operations
of the Western Maryland railway for
February. March and April was issued
yesterday. and some surprising figures are
shown. since the statement showing the
earnings for January last was issued no
figures, have been given out by the road.
This has caused a great deal of comment
From a deficit in net operating revenue OF
$500. 163 for the month of February, a net
revenue of $3S. 2e6.2 % in April is shown
This was brought about mainly by de-
creasing the maintenance expenses nearly
$4,000 and Increasing the gross revenue
