MAKE WORK FOR LAUNDRESS
Tub Petticoats With CoIored Ruffles
Are to Be the Correct Things for
the Summer Garments.

Six yards is the correct width for q
summer petticoat this season and one
cannot help plying the poor laundress
who has had long and blessed rest
from starching and f1uting crisp petit
coat frills. Some petticoats to be
sure own to but three yards, but these
are the most inexpensive and humble
models. AS the price advances the
width advances, and the number of
frills also. Four ruffies Of embroi-
derry, overlapping from knee to hem,
is pretty trimming; especially when
the embroidery is the fine scallop and
dot kind always in good taste. A new
petticoat which is already very popu-
lar has four ruffles of fine lawn edged
with narrow handkerchief hens in
some pretty color; and the ruflies are
stitched to the petticoat with colored
threads to match. With pink or blue

DECORATION FOR SOFT SILKS
Many Ideas have Been Put Forward,
Some Highly Decorative and Some
In Quieter Forms.

Quaint medallions and bouquets and
prim little baskets of flowers are scat
tered over the surface of soft silks.
Rings Of several colors and Of irregu.
lar shapes are dropped at widely
spaced intervals over other silks, and
on others highly decorative patterns
are used. Lovely georgette crepes
have baskets Of flowers scattered over
the surface A fine taffeta broche
which combines crispness and softness
in just the right degree is ornamented
with little flower which never grew
on land or sea.
Stripes are very fashionable and are
cleverly used. Gay-patterned Innings
are used in coats and suits. Delicate
organdie embroideries are used in a
number Of dainty ways; many are
lightly touched in color, especially old
blue and delicate rose. Embroidered
nets touched in color are used for
entire frocks as we'll as for trimmings.

The plain white organdie waists are

pleasing design of scallops, again in
polka dots and triangles of brilliant
red and blue, green, black, and yellow.
Because polka-dot frocks are in fash

blouses of polka-dot fabrics with the
pleased feeling that we are quite in
the middle of the picture. Taffeta and
satin are not looked upon with any
degree of warmth, but taffeta is ap-
piled to chiffon and then embroidered
in gold and silver, to build up an or

by the smart dressmakers for this pur-

that have come over from France for
gowns, such as point d'esprit and the

it. The former is especially attrac-

TRAINS PLAY "LEAP FROG
Engineers Ingenuity Solved Problem
of Relieving Congestion of Traffic
on City's Elevated Lines.

To relieve the swelling traffic on the
elevated lines in New York city trains
are now made to play leap frog" by
an ingenious method of track laying.
A horizontal view of the completed
structure would bear strange resem.
blance to the roller coaster railroads
so much in evidence in nearly all of
Americas amusement parks. Nearing
station the express trains for which
the new track is being designed, rise
swiftly on an incline, so that they
play at a modified, mechanical game
of leap frog. Under the raised tracks,
or humps" as they are technically
known the local stations are situated
The reason for the leap frogging"
is obvious. There are three tracks
in service already on the elevated
lines, but the third track could not
be used for express service unless the
tracks to take on and discharge pas
sengers. This would involve delay
and a serious possibility of accident.
The stations selected for the ex
press stops are either REINFORCED OF
renewed, and the middle track is
raised about II feet. The loading
platforms for the extra elevated" ex.
press tracks are built over the exist
ing local tracks, which are left I'm
changed. The length OF the hump"
is determined by the grade of the
present local tracks at that particu
lar section, as the grade of the ex
press tracks never exceeds three per
cent. The new platforms are about
$50 feet long.

Marie Tempest was among the first
women to adopt the tight, pointed silk
bodice with the voluminous organdie

Women have found in the fashion a
reversal from the commonplace that
pleases them.
Even If one has a large waist, this
tight bodice does not disclose it in an
unattractive manner, for the signifl-
cant artistic reason that it dips itself

AS there are many foods that can
not be properly cooked in water, the
modern caloric cookstove was invent
ed so that now baking and roasting
may be done as we'll as stewing and

baking or roasting.
The following dishes may be pre-
