 partments After Various States.
 Many Pullman, steamship and steam boat passengers have expressed curi- osity as to the origin of the term tstate- room" as applied to compartments. Mir. T. J. Ashworth, assistant agent and re- ceiving cashier of athe Pullman com pany at Asheville, N. C., believes he has found the solution in The Crisis" Winston Churchill's novel of St. Louis and the Mississippi river in the period just prior to and during the Civil war. The excerpt was related in 1859, when sleeping car berth curtains had just been introduced.
 There was an old fellow named Shreye who ran steamboats before Jack son fought the redeoats at New Orleans. In Shreve's time the cabins were cur tained off just. like these new fangsed sleeping car berths. The old man built wooden rooms and he named them after the different states, Kentucky, Illinois and Pennsylvania. So that when passenger came aboard he'd ask, What state am I in, CapY and from the Mississippi river the name 'stateroom spread all over the world. From Pullman News.

''I think" said Mrs. E. G. Chandler, president of the Music Study club that we may De j6stiy proud of the artists course which we are presenting during the coming season. It is indeed a brilliant course, and only the fact that the club derives not one cent of profit enables us to sell our tickets at 30 moderate l-ice."
 Albert Spalding, appearing here November 6, has been receiving such honors in Europe, it is said, as few, if any, American violinists have ever re- ceived.

 Sport clothes are naturally more than holding their own with women as well as men taking a keen interest in the worlds series and the coming of the football season to which Washington is always kind.
 Mir. Coolidge, who accompanies her serious minded husband to q bali game or historical celebration such as marked the one hundred and fiftieth an niyersary of the birth of the continental congress, with the same unfailing grace and sympathy, is showing herself q supporter of the new fur-trimmed cape.
 At Philadelphia last week she. wore q complete costume of dull lpsterless white. A gown of heavy smooth finish ed crepe made in the prevailing straight line as to its foundation, with slight drapery at the hip and long flowing sleeves opening from the elbow. Over this was worn a particularly modish coat of white cloth finished in a nine inch band of white fur with collar and cuffs to match. This garment comes to. the edge of the gown beneath which is barely six inches off the floor.
 An equally well made gown in black, relieved by plain white linen cuffs and collar does duty for daytime occasions, when a round hat of black in fine French felt completes the costume. Mrs. Coolidge does not wear mourning" but keeps her toilets all black or white. Mrs. John w. Davis, who accom- panied her husband on his one-day visit to Washington, travelled in mod ish serge coat suit of very dark cloth, showing the long coat with deep fur at the hem, the slightly curved line under the armand the narrow, round plain skirt. Her hat was neither large nor small, being a very becoming tricne of black French felt.
