While he warned against the evils

Poiret blamed fashion and garment
importers for what he termed the
American women's lack of individual
and up-to-date fashions. Those who
import modes from Paris. he declared

Partisan markets they select not the
newest, not the best fashions, but

Women will find themselves in a

things and they can be had so quickly
when in demand. The thrift of saving
such things seems futile. Perhaps it
may be, to a very busy housewife. 1t
is not that side of the question that
we are considering now. We are
merely ferreting out the reasons why
thrftiness f1ourishes more in the coun-

there is an actual reason behind it.
Any one who has lived in the country
even for a Summer appreciates the
fact.
Another Aspect.
Fortunately, there is a prosperous
side to the city extravaganza for by it
stores flourish. BY quickly turning

Sometimes there is too great saving
of useless materials in country houses,
Just because the idea is always present
that the things may be wanted when
ghopping cannot be indulged in. And
So while the city woman has to guard
against eXtravagances caused by mar
c.
woman has to beware of loading up
her house with things that never do
come into use again. Fortunately. the
country woman is alert in recognizing
good uses for discarded things. Then
her thrift proves more than a conven-

Reddy Fox a good singing, Jimmy
Skunk had had no personal interest
in the affair. But right then his in.
terest became very personal. He
chuckled as he watched Reddy Fox
rolling over and over and rubbing his
face in the grass, trying to get rid of
those yellowjackets. You would sup

great pains to keep away from that
place where the yellowjackets were.
Instead of that he almost hurried

Raddy Fox was hurrying away from

ward that yellowjackets' nest. Jimmy
was so fat that his hurrying didn't
amount to much. He almost wabbled
on his feet. AS he moved along, he
kept licking his lips.
The instant Jimmy reached the little
hole in the ground. which was the en-.
trance to that yellowja jackets nest, he
began digging. Once more the yellow
jackets became very, very angry.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November 9, 1895-One of the newest
and most visionary proposals to be
discussed in this part of the country
Is n scheme to connect the Atlantic
seaboard with the Ohio River with an
iron railroad, on which will run cars
pulled by a steam engine. These
cars, it is said. will carry both pas
sengers and freight. 1t is planned to
have the railroad start from Balti-
more This visionary scheme drew
comment today from the editors Of
the National Intelligencer, who de-
clared in their columns that it is al
most as easy to imagine the building
of a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean
rs to consider seriously the question
of building an iron railroad across
the mountains to the Ohio River and
operating trains thereon, carrying pas
sengers and freight.
There is apparently no doubt that
the future prosperity OF the City of
Washington will depend, not on the
development of the iron railroad, but
upon water transportation. 1t now
seems certain that the Federal City
will soon become the terminus Of n
great inland waterway, or canal, from
the head of tidewater on the Potomac
River to the Ohio River. This will
join the Washington City canal, and
thus great quantities of -four frcm
the West and coal from the Maryland
and Virginia mountains will pass
through this city to deep water On
the Eastern Branch.
The city canal system has become
practically indispensable to business.
Articles of daily use and freight of
all sorts are transported over it to
the center of the city. and lower
transportation rates result. Already
the City Council is discussing the ad-
visibility of purchasing the canal
from the stockholders.

that Reddy Fox was hunting her. 1t
was no business of his to interfere
with Reddy's plans. He had no par

anyway. SO Jimmy sat down to watch
Reddy and see how he would go about
catching that rabbia.

Jimmy became more interested than
ever. Mrs. Peter must be stupid"
