IT is probably too much TO expect

WILL MAKE AS LITTLE
DISTURBANCE AS POSSIBLE

The common administration will be
carried out with as little disturbance
of the present operating organizations
and personnel of the railways as pos
sihle. Nothing will be altered or dis
:urbed which it is not necessary 10 dis
turb. We are serving the public in
tercst and safeguarding the public
safety. but we are also rcgardful of
the interest OF those by whom these
great properties are owned and glad
TO avail ourselves of the experience
and trained ability of those who have
been managing them. II is necessary
that the transportation Of troops and
OF war materials. of food and of fuel
and OF everything that is necessary
for the fun mobilization of the en-
crgics and resources of the country
should be considered. but it is clearly
in the public interest also that the
ordinary activities and the normal in
dustrial and commercial life of the
country should be interfered with and
dislocated az little as possible, and
the public may rest assured that the
| interest and convenience of the pri-
vate shipper will be as carefully served
and safesuarded as it is possible to
serve and safeguard it in tho present
extraordinary circumstances
While the present authority OF the
executive sufiices for all purposes OF
administration. and while. of course,
all private interests must for the pres
cnt give way to tho public necessity,
1t is am sure you will agree with
me, right and necessary that the own
crs and creditors of the railways. the
holders OF their stocks and bonds,
should receive from the government an
unqualiiie guarantee that their prop
critics, will be maintained throughout
tho period OF Federal control in as
good repair and as complete equip
ment as at present. and that the sew
cral roads will receive under Federal
management such compensation az is
equitable aud just alike 10 their own
ers and I" the sencrai public would
suggest the average net railway opcr-
ating income Of the three years ending
June 30. 1917. I earnestly recommend
that these guarantees be given by ap-
propriate legislation and given as
promptly as circumstances permit.

need not point out the essential
justice OF such guarantees and their
great influence and Significance as clc-
ments III the present financial and in
6ustrial situation of the country. In
deed. one of the strong arguments for
assuming control OF the railroads at
this time is tho financial argument. 1t
is necessary that tho values OF railway
securities should be Justly and fairly

Diary of a Fashion Model

By GRACE THORNCLIFFE :

have"
 Madame, who loves to design clothes for Beth Goring, looks at her slight figure for a minute or two, then launches forth into an enthusiastic description of the frock she has in mind for her.
 Week before last the fair Beth managed to get a suit-today she is due for the last fitting of an after noon frock.
 The frock is built over a lining of chiffon cloth of the same tint as the crepe.
 In designing the bodice, the ma terial was arraigned in soft folds across the back and front. Beth Goring has lovely arms, and Madame always pays particular attention to the sleeves of her frocks. A prettily shaped arm appears to its best ad- vantage in mousquetaire sleeve when they properly follow the con- tour.
 A single layer of crepe was draped about the arm in horizontal folds and fitted snVgly. A row of tiny snap fastners, extending from below the elbow to the wrist along the inner arm, made it possible to slip the sleeve off and on with ease. A chemisette of blue net embroid- cred in silk of four tones intermingled with touches of oxydized silver and a draped girdle of crepe completes the bodice.
 The skirt originally had full tunic extending all the way about the waist | line. Madame decided that the frock would be smarter if it were opened down the front and shortened. The underskirt, while wide enough to per init the wearer to move about with absolute freedom, has the appearance | of being narrow. l Like many of the frocks with tunic overskirts, this one fastens at the side
 | Madame asked me to slip the frock on before it was time for Miss Cor ings fitting that she might sec whether the alterations had been properly made.
 'Tittle Miss Beth win look like g blue flower in this frock. The lines are right now. did think a few folds of tulle were needed to soften the reckline of the chemisette, but the scallops gave it quite nice finish, SC we'll try to improve it.
 "Claire, since the frock is perfect you take care of Miss Goring wher she comes in while I run over to tht avenue to attend to some busi ness.''
 , So I assumed an air of dignifet importance at being the representa- tive of Madame and waited for Betl Goring.

COMBINATIONS OF COLOR GOOD
 FOR SPRING

Sports clothes hold their own snd are oolng even trif1e more, war economies only resulting in the use u the most exquisite colors in sports SAllns and in velvets. Colors which one would naturally hesitate to wear except at a fancy dress bah are ac- cepted on the tennis courts of golf links as quite the correct thing. and irequenters of the bathing beaches hesitate at nothing. Horseback rid- mg and trapshootfng devotees are more conservative and stick more closely to prescribed lines than other sports folk.
 Sieeveiess jackets afford many color Icomoinations and are preferably worn with lighter skirt. A fayorite modal Is the pleated skirt of white serge or rough silk, which is especially desir- aote TOT the tennis player, as it is in keeping with the straight lines now worn and at the same time gives room Tor freedom of motion on the courts. says the New York Herald Checked materials are made up in a variety of ways, usually being used for the coat. While the skirt, collar and cuffs are or white or plain materials. In speak ing of sports clothes one must not forget to mention that all white will be one of the leading fashions and can be depended on at all times to hold it's own even against the strikine colors characteristic of sports clothes. With the sleeveless variety of jacket a fine white lawn or batiste waist is usually seen, the front very finefy oV,6 +1,o over or in the flat rounded shape.
 The smallest of ruffles are sometimes used around the edge of the collar and down the front pleat of 1t.
 Bathing suits exhibit many of their well known pecularities and eccen- tricities and have also a variety of new accessories. Satin bathing suits are bunched and gathered or cut in Islits and laced together again. Black with pipings of bright blue and a gir- dle of the blue is used for a model in satin and the straight pantalette-
 like tights are of the bright material.
 A bright blue paraSol and a black tsain hat with broad brim faced with
 blue are designed to be worn with it.
 The most striking suits seen on the
 beach are those in wide black and
 white Pekin striped satin, and are
 most effective for the woman with
 daring enough to wear them
 One suit has the stripes running up
 and down on the skirt and crosswise
 on the blouse. The under boomers
 are fashioned after the manner of a
 riding habit. A bag and paraso1 are all in one; this novelty arrangement matches the silk used in the suit , When the parasol is opened the bag disappears in the top of it. The car to be worn with this wen thought out costume is of black and white blocks, with a wide faring ruffle; black
 stockamgs and bathing shoes.

CONVENIENT AND EASY

A bureau drawer pad of cretonne or silk, with pockets for the many small belongings, is a most convenient thing and easy to make. If the bed room is furnished with cretonne se- lect the same design for the pad. Cut the material the length and width of the drawer and line with plain shade of silk. At each end make a pocket the width of the pad and four inches wide and fasten to the end of the pad. In the center of the front edge make a V-shaped pocket by folding a triangle piece twelve inches long, the two points folded toward the top point. Directly opposite at the back make two V-shaped pockets to fit in the " shaped pointed pocket opposite. Fill in the space left on each side with a small square pocket. Finish the edge of the pockets and pad with a narrow ribbon binding and attach to the two ends a small sachet made out of rib- bon the same shade.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-02-02
LACE TRIMMED LINENS

The new lines for household use show a great deal more lace trim ming than has been the fashion in some time, and the favored lace seems to be filet. Handsome towels of linen damask have strips of filet above the hem, and above the flet a delicate hand embroidered pattern. Tea cloths show a filet edge with a line of henstitching an inch above, and a filet square in one corner, with hand embroidered trailing about it. An interesting card table cover is of white linen with a filet border and filet squares at each corner showing the card symbols; heart, diamond club and spade, each worked delicate ly into the filet mesh. Lovely dresser sets have filet trimming in butterfly pattern, and to match these there are guest room towels trimmed with the butterfly fiIet.

ETIQUETTE

In conversation, no matter how tire some people may be, those to whom they are talking should show good breeding by listening politely and at- tentively.
 Mrs. P. W.-Elaborate and fancy folding and arranging of napkins is not in good taste. A dinner napkin should be folded square and laid on the corner that is uppermost- A lunch napkin is much smaller than a dinner napkin and therefore is fold ed in oblong shape. A fish knife is somewhat smaller than dinner knife ana is made entirely of silver. A dinner knife has a silver handle with a steel blade for cutting meats.
 Co-ed-I do not believe in promis- cuous gift giving. It imposes obli- cations that often are unwelcome. It would be appropriate and especially nice for you to write your friend a jolly little note of congratulations anl good wishes, mailing it so that she will receive it on her birthday. think this would be much better than to start burdensome exchange of presents.
