in Grim Tragedy.

Ralph Parnell, q Pullman porter,
was killed and eight passengers lost
their lives in the wreck OF the Twen-
tieth Century Limited, the New York
Central railroads crack train, at For
sythe, N. Y. Thirty-five persons were
injured, some Of whom may not sur
vive their injuries, and out of the big
catastrophe one lone woman, Mrs.
Emma Washington, 653S Evans ave-
nue., Chicago, a maid, looms up as
the heroine.
When section number two ran
around section number one at Roch-
ester, number one, on which Mrs.
Washington was riding, was sent out
Of that station as section number two
and the third section was behind that.
At Forsythe a stalled automobile Is
said to have caused a stop on the first
train. Train running as section num-
Der two was tagged and the brake
man on that train is said to have
gone back to flag number three.
There are small red torches and
rockets which these brakemen are
suppose to place on the tracks. This
is claimed to have been done but for
some unknown reason, said to have
been caused by the heavy fog and
rain affecting the sight Of the engi-
neer on section three, that section
crashed headlong into the train
ahead, causing a wreck that will go
down in the annals of railroading.
ParneIl Dies BraSely.
Ralph Parnell was in the observa-
ton car "Thoreau," which became a
mass of twisted steel when one side
was ripped from it and 1t was
knocked sideways off the track. The
walls of the dying and the injured
could be heard above the roar of the
crash and the kissing steam. The
only lights were from the lanterns
until passengers who were unhurt
poured oil on mattresses and set
them ablaze.
When Parnell was reached he told
the rescuers to pay no attention to
him because he wouldn't "be on earth
but few minutes" In three minutes
he had breathed his last. There was
a smile on his lips when they carried
him to lay him on a Pullman mat
tress and covered him with a sheet
The picket fence that surrounds the
cornfields near by was the wall OF
the temporary morgue, the black sky
above was the roof and the lights
from the burning mattresses fickered
as the rain fell and the heavy fog
settled over the scene.
When the third section crashed in
to the one that was running as mum
Der two, Mrs. Emma Washington
veteran maid, was asleep in her
berth in the third car from the i'll.
fated observation car. She got uI
and made her way to the car behind
She felt the jolt but did not believe
anything serious had happened
Women passengers were trying to
tell her and she brushed them aside
and started for the wreck. One kind
lady offered her the use Of hel
ermine wrap to throw about hel
shoulders as Mrs. Washington haG
her nightgown on. She refused, re
traced her steps. stopped long enough
to grab her own coat and ther
alighted in the wet and damp with
nothing on her feet but her slippers
and made her way to the mass ot
wreckage.

Passengers on the train, inter

In the observation car in compart-

two men, George e. Van Hagen, Sr..
and George E. Van Hagen, Jr., both
wealthy residents Of Chicago, and
whom she had known for years as
regular passengers on the world IA

Young Van Hagen, Mrs. Washing
ton had known since he was a mere
boy. She worked faithfully with an
ak and helped bend back the twisted
steel until both were taken out. Then
she went about her work, unmindful

Bathing Suits.

N reviewing the collections of
bathing apparel other than
those Of knitted fabrics, it Is, in.
teresting to note the. tendency to
added length in skirts. It. could
not be said that all skirts are
longer, but there are many that
reach to the knee or below. This
is perhaps a, reflection of the
fashions in ready-to-wear or pos
sibly the influence of the restric-
tions necessary for wear at Palm
Beach.
There are also many sugges-
tions OF sleeves, and. this holds
true of both silk and knitted suits.
The extensive use Of printed silks
Is noted. principally as slips or
over-drapes used, in conjunction
with worsted trunks. The baI1dan-
ma fashion also is very strong.
Much empasis is being placed
upon the bathing cape, and it
dies not seem possible to get them
too vivid. Terry cloth in gay
printed colors. rubberized silk, and
combination of the two all are
equally smart. The designs are
usually of Persian or Egyptian
origin. and some cretonne patterns
are seen.

Speaking of slippers, brings to
mind the style of having tongues
in a pointed effectiveness of the
same material as the gown, added
to the plain satin or cloth of gold
or silver slipper. The styles are
SO delightfully."- simple for evening
gowns that the demand for COM
plete and harmonious whole is the
note of the hour.
PESUMING the girdle theme,
even the street dress, the dress
of the girl who has second best,
uses the idea to rely on the girdle
for decorative qualities. In this
case the dress of wool and silk

embroiders it with Indian oriental

wool, metal and silk threads. Then.
the hat, not to be left behind, puts
the same embroidery on the bow

simple ensemble.

sashes is the badge of honor for
many a sport hat. To have the
embroidered sash end on the frock

Even bathing suits, with their
