lows but little jewelry. Such touches
as a string of pearls, torquoise locket,
or heavy gold bracelet, are employed
to give the desired old-time atmosphere.
The hair, however, is decidedly modern,
but so artistic that it in nowise spoils
the quaintness of the costume. The
bobbed effect is the most popular
coiffure for the young girl. This may
sound as if the younger generation are
recklessly cutting off their hair; do not
be misled for such is not sne case.
Some clever Miss lately conceived the
idea of eombing her hair back straight
in front, low over the ears and wind
ing it in loose coil in back. Her
friend copied it and now all the Young
girls have the effect of the Castle clip

the first girl wound her hair in this
knot in back, so many have adopted the
mode that pins have been especially
designated for the knot. They consist
of single straight spike with ball or
slender triangular top of amber, let or
tortoise shell. Poignards, the French
call them; in plain English they are
dagoers. One of these pins will hold the
knot firmly and is a fitting finish for a
young girls coiffure; more, Dame Fash

73 Perish IN R. R.
HORROR IN ENGLAND


Glasgow crashed into them. The re-
suit was terrifying. Locomotives and
ears, shattered and splintered, were
hurled about in confusion.
Fire broke out and spread with great
rapidity through the wreckage. 1t was
soon burning SO fercely that the men
engaged in the work Of rescue were
driven back. There was nothing to do
but wait for the coming of the fire
brigades.
These were brought up at all possible
speed. Once on the scene they labored
frantically to control the flames. In
the end they were successful but before
the fire was put out many of the trav-
elers pinned under the wreckage of the
cars and unable to make their escape
were burned alive before the eyes of
the helpless onlookers.
Five hundred men of one regiment
were on the troop train. When the
roll was called after the wreck only
ffty-two officers and men responded.
Numbers of others, however, were en-.
gagged in caring for their wounded com
rades.
Some of the victims were so mang-
led that their rescue from the wreck
age was impossible. Several others who
were extricated died soon. after.
Doctors performed heroic services,
Drawing the flames in their efforts to
help those pinned in the tangled mass
es of wood and iron. One physician, DR..
Edwards, responded to the appeals of
two soldiers who were imprisoned by
the legs. Facing the scorching flames,
he amputated both legs of one soldier
and one leg of the other, and this
method offered their only hope of es-
cape. One of the soldiers died from the
shock

TRANSFER EXERCISES
Program Was Promptly Rendered With
Large Crowd Present

The program rendered by the pupils
of the grammar school at the annual
transfer exercises, held in the High
school auditorium last evening, was
given without flaw and proved to
be one of the most entertaining affairs
of its kind since transfer exercises
were first introduced. Dorothy Hazel
McCoy's Description of Person"
was applauded more heartily than per-
haps any other number offered, because,
until almost the last word, the large
audience thought she was describing a
member of the class, but when the
name was mentioned, and found to be
that of prominent teacher, well
known, the uproar became almost
deafening.
John William Grimes, who had at
tended a session of the legislature just
recently, gave vivid description of
how the sights impressed him. The
speaker of the evening was the Rev.
A. X. Wier, pastor of Centenary United
Brethren church.

The question of the graduation dress

days when she receives the bit of parch-
ment, which seals her school life.
In this season of revived fashions
and fabrics, the problem simplifes itself
to some extent, for all styles are youth
full. One need only visit the large stores
to appreciate the variety offered in
these froeks. La, la, you fair maidens,
wrestling with the quibs and questions
of your last examinations, you should
be with me in the great metropolis!
On the spacious fourth floor Of house,
devoted solely to the needs of the girl.
there are mahogany cases, filed with
frothy white dresses, stretching away
row after row, like the battalions of an
army. 1t is seldom you find so large
an assemblage of frocks for one pur-
pose, and age, collected in one place.
Here you can be outftted from tip to
toe, with the style and suitability of
the garments assured.

COMMITTEES WILL MEET
General Meeting of Picnic Workers
Will Be Held Monday

The general committee with the
various committees, representing
the several Sunday schools of the bor-
ough in the union picnic to be held at
Mount Gretna, June IT, will meet in
st. Johns Lutheran church on Monday
evening at s o'clock. The plans being
made by the committee include special
arrangements for the pleasure and COM
fort of the aged, as well as the safety
and care of the children during the day.
Every means will be used to guard
against accident. A number of ply
sicians will be on the train and on the
grounds during the day. The sub
committees are working in harmony
with the expectation of making this the
greatest outing from the borough this
year.

ennes lace is applied; also ON the skirt,
in Grecian border above the hem.
Primness, the chief charm of the frock,
is again in evidence in the broad girdle
of moire ribbon, brought straight
around the Empire waistline and fin
ished at the back with fat bow and
long streamers.
Gloves, for the graduation frock, are
generally of plain silk Many well-to-
do mothers are buying their daughters
silk gloves in place of the formal white
kid; the effect is more girlish and they
are much cooler for warm weather. To
be cure there are fancy models shown
and in good taste, too. A silk glove,
pin tucked around and around the wrist,
half-inch apart, or delicately embroid
cred, may be worn; the new lace gloves
too, is perfectly appropriate for the girl
graduate.
The medium heel on the shoes is
another feature of the fashions shown
for graduation that the mother, at least
will like. These appear, slightly curved
in the approved French style, on slip.
pers of white kid with colonial buckles
and on white satin pumps with flowers

frock. This makes one think that the
makers of slippers and the makers of
frocks have held some secret sessions
this season. Nor are the styles confined
alone to white; black patent leather is
considered equally appropriate for the
graduate, especially if worn with white
stockings. There is pretty model

WHEN cR0WS MOBILIZE.
They Usually Mass Themselves For
Attack Upon an Enemy.

The crows are masters Of mobilizG-
tion. Such notifications have fire.
quently been investigated. Usually
they prove to be for the attack On some
enemy.
Thoreau speaks of the crows burst
ing up above the woods where they
were perching like the black fragments
Of powder mill just exploded" When
they are gathered for war purposes
their cries will lead you to the spot
where they are lighting, and these
same bursts of black fragments above
the trees. usually following an especial
uproar Of cawing, will direct you to the
center Of the battle.
Walter King Stone, the illustrator,
and Charles Livingston Bull have told
me OF a mobilization they once wit
messed, when the crows gathered for
hours and the two observers were able
to penetrate the woods to the exact
spot beneath the feathered explosions.
There they found great horned owl
flying low in the trees with a. dead
crow In his talons. Whether this was
the original cause of the battle or
whether he had grabbed the crow In
one OF the descents of the birds about
his head they. Of course. could not say.
He was evidently struggling to fnd a
dead tree where he could take refuge.
he was saved probably by the coming
of night.
Crows have even been known to at
tack foxes. as Winslow Homer's paint
ing is the most famous witness.
A farmer near my home who has
observed crows for many years and
has the reputation of knowing more
about them than any one else in the
neighborhood tells me that almost in.
variably In his experience the cause
of large mobilization is either a big
owl or hawk. The little screech owls
are also attacked. but by lesser num-
bers. He has also personally seen the
crows attack fox while 1t was cross
ing an open field, and once he watched
a flock of nearly 100 crows worrying
a Skye terrier dog, which was so thor.
oughly frightened that it was running
In circles. have seen crows attack
q cat also. but the cat always is wise
enough to make for cover. - Walter
Prichard Eaton In Harper's Magazine.
