Feather Trimmings

Feather trimmings are stressed on
FAN hats. Whether the model be one
inspired by the ambitious Empress Eu-
genie or derby sailor the hat must
have . feather.
The much-talked-of Rembrandt
crown has bright-coiored contrasting
leather stuck through it. The less
dressy and modified cloche, with soft
priFn, has side ornament Of feathers.

More Cotton Worn.

Cottons and linens have been &C
cepted for street wear in town this
Summer. but there are some women
who still feel that these materials are
not appropriate for town wear. They
remain loyal to silk crepes, chiffon,
georgette or lightweight wooden ma
terials for city street wear. But these
linen dresses only in the country or at
resorts have accepted the various sheer
cottons such as cotton net, organdie
and eyelet embroidered batiste for eve
ming wear.

Wooden Suits

Suits for early Autumn wear are
made OF the sheerest wool.
They are often fur-trimmed. but the
fur is used with discretion, and 1t is
the short-haired sort that does not
look bulky or hot Krimmer, broadtail
and mole are much used, and SO is
seal
Sometimes the scarf collar Is sep
arate from the suit coat and may then
be worn with other dresses. Sometimes
the entire jacket is edged with krimmer.
But the sleeves OF the early Autumn
suits Of very thin wool are not trim
med with fur.

Nv new ''femininity" in women's
dress It Il rather an awk-
ward word at best--"femi-
ninity''-and 1T has been used to re-
pletion. But, after all, there Is no
other way to describe the new note
Of charm that makes the clothes we
wear now and are to wear during the
coming season so much more becom-
ing and picturesque than those that
we wore q few seasons ago.
The French fashion reporters fire.
uuently refer to the "coQuetterie" in
the new fashions, using the word in a
slightly different sense than our word
coquetry.
1t is In truth a difficult thing to
describe in words this change that has
come over fashions within the past
year, but the fact that the change has
come Is something that any woman
with any sort of clothes sense can easily
appreciate. Practically every important
style change that has taken place re-
Gently might be traced TO this effort
to make clothes more fiattering and
more truly feminine.
=
IN Paris the milliners are given credit
for having succeeded in bringing
about the change, and while usually 1t
is the miiliners who must provide hats
that are suitable TO the new fashions
in dresses and wraps. at present the
milliners are the leaders and the latest
changes in dress silhouette have come
as the result Of the dressmakers' efforts
to keep abreast with the new, more
picturesque mode In millinery which
has taken the world OF fashion by
storm.
To be sure skirts had become longer
before the new mode in millinery was
launched, but any doubt as to their
remaining long has been dispelled by
the acceptance of the new fashions in
hats, which demand long, graceful
dress silhouette.
Normal wAistlines and more closely
fitted bodices are also assured because
low wAistlines and baggy bodices would

RAILROADS KEEP UP THEIR FIGHT
 TO RAISE RATES
President of New Haven Road, J. J. Pelley, Will Be Witness To-day Several Were Heard Yesterday
BY IT. Q. THOMPSON

'
 Washington, July 16.-UP).- Maintenance of sound credit for the railroads Is revealed by pro- ceedings before the interstate com merce commission as one of the principal objectives of railway ex- ecutives pleading for a 15 per cent freight rate increase.
 The first day of the commission s hearings deve1oped the contention that the roads have fallen upon such difficulties that their secur!- ties are in danger.
 J. J. Pelley, president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road, was expected to be the first to testify to-day. He is chairman of the special committee of eastern railroad presidents who decided that IS per cent advance in freight rates was the only remedy for their troubles.
 The temperature was 08 degrees on Pennsylvania avenue yesterday but in the commissions hearing room, packed with nearly 500 shirt sleeved men, 1t must have been sev- eral degrees higher. Railroad pres- idents were jostled by traffic clerks Railroad lawyers and representa- tives of special groups either op- posing or supporting the carriers petition sweltered through A day of statistical testimony.
 Commissioner BalthaZar Meyer who presided. supplied exactly the right touch to keep tempers on an even keet. Appearing cool and com fortable in his white linen suit Meyer handled the witnesses with urbane good nature and occasional jests. Once, eyes twinkling behind gold fra med spectacles, Meyer said
 "I think you make a mistake to assume any great familiarity with railroad bond coupons on this side of the table"
 There were four witnesses yes terday. They were Dr. Julius H ParmeLee, director of the bureau of railway economies; Edward D. Duff field, president of the Prudential Insurance company; R. H. Ashton president of the American Rail- way association, and Roy S. Kern chairman of the coal and coke com mittee of the Central Freight as- sociation.
 Parmelee testified that at the rate railway operating incomes were de- cIining. the roads would earn only 1.27 times their fixed charges for 1881. -..
 The New York state law. which is. looked upon as q standard for investment regulation, states that railway bonds to be eligible fol savings banks and trust fund in vestments, must earn 1.50 times fixed charges. Parmelee estimated that if the 15 per cent increase were made ffctiv by September the roads would earn 1.47 timer fixed charges instead of 1.27.
 Duffield said emergency relief fol the railroads was necessary to pro- tect the interests of 50,000,000 in. surance policy holders and nearly 13,000,000 depositors in mutua savings banks. Banks and insurance companies are the leading holder, of railroad securities.
 | Kern said the roads proposed te except coal and coke from the gen eral 15 per cent increase, but tc raise basic coal and coke rates by IS per cent and maintain existing differentials.

 Strange as it may seem, water spouts do little damage beyond drenching ships and sailors. No case is on record where a large ship was wrecked by waterspout.
 A typhoon of hurricane, on the other hand, is extremely danger ous 1t may have a pathway more than 100 miles wide. The hurri- cane which swept through the waters around the West Indies few years ago and brought great damage to Florida is still well re- membered.
