Coal Dust for Fuel.

Spurred on by prospects Of shut
downs during the winter because OF
the shortage Of gas, manufacturers In
the Pittsburgh district have been con-
ducting experiments with coal dust,
which, they assert, prove that the dust
can be substituted for gas. The pro.
cess Is to blow the crushed coal into
the open-hearth furnaces by means of
compressed air.
This fuel. although not as cheap as
natural gas, Is being furnished to man.
ufacturlng plants Of the Pittsburgh
district considerably cheaper than con.
sliiners' gas.
The Carnegie Steel company, realiz-
ing that there will be shortage of
natural gus for manufacturing pur-
poses this winter. hns installed coal
dust fuel machinery at "a Of Its 81
opcn-hearth furnaces in the Homestead
works and for eight Of Its Is open
hearth furnaces at Clarion. BY so
doing the company will save 1900.
600 cubic feet Of natural gas daily at
its Homestead works and 100000
cnbic feet at its Clarion works. or a
total Of 21.000.000 cubic feet daily.

Among those who have deserted their
former work for the more congenial

James Lane Allen, who was a public

Burnett was country school teacher

In Warsaw wns what Is known as
the Citizens Post. and the Germans
have suppressed the issues of their

labels are very rare; 1t Ia Illegal to

QUESTION OF THE BRAssIERE
Difficult to Determine Whether the Ap.

Corset or Lingerie Head.

It Is hard to know whether bras
sieres ought to be included under
the general head Of corsets or lingerie.
1t is true that they carry out and ac-
centuate the best lines Of the corset,
and an intelligent corset saleswoman
can always recommend special bras
siere to 80 with any style corset that
you may choose.
Filet lace is used lavishly In some
Of the new brassieres. They are In
deed far different than those Of heavy
linen-rather bulky and clumsy in ap.
pearance. however satisfactory In ef.
fect-that were introduced into the
market when brassleres first came Into
fashion. It Is now possible TO get bras.
sleres for evening wear. no matter how
low the decolletage may be. Some are
made with deep v at the back, straps
Of lace over the shoulder and round

made without any shoulder straps, but
are SO cleverly cut that they give the
necessary support to the figure.

FOR EARLY Spring
Attractive Gown Created for Fay-
orite Partisan Actress.
Original Model Was Of Beige oaber.
dine and Embroidsrles Worked In
self-colored Silks, and Woois.

The second sketch shows one Of Pre-.
NETS latest spring models.
This little gown was created for 4
favorite Partisan actress, who Is going
to Monte Carlo to give some "war char
tty" performances. The material Of the
original model. writes Idalia de VII
Hers. was beige gaberdine and the en-
broideries were worked In self-colored
silks and woods. The smart collar was
made of beaver fur, and the cuffs
matched. This dress would look quite
as well with collar and cuffs Of velvet,
or Of the dress material embroidered.
At the same time 1t must be record
ed that small fur collars are appearing
on many Of the new spring dresses
and 1t is whispered that when the hot
summer days are with us again we
shall be bringing out such Summer
furs" as beaver, fitch, dyed rabbit and
mole. This fashion Of applying small
pieces Of fur to summer dresses Is not
at all extrayagant. Fur lasts q long
time and a well.cut collar may be worn
with very many different dresses
those intended for evening use as well
a. day frocks.
Both Premet and Doeulllet are show
Ing long straight lines this spring. In
deed this applies to most Of our leading
dressmakers, but chez DoeuiIlet 1t is
specially in evidence. Some Of his best
models measure bare yard and half
at the hem Of the skirt and the tunics
are so long, and cut % straight. that
the general effect Is wonderfully youth
ful.
Doeuillet remains faithful to the
large and picturesque collar which he
SO successfully introduced two or three
seasons ago. In some cases these col
