Silk Dress for Girl from Seven to Nine Years of Age.—This dress is in pale blue soft silk. The short full skirt is tucked, and is edged with a gathered frill sewn on under lace In sertion.

With the joining last week of the East river tunnels of the Pennsylva nia railroad at New York the work ■was completed and now all that re mains for the contractors to do is to calk the joints between the segments, put on what might be termed the fin ish, and turn the whole over to the railroad company for the placing of tracks and other appliances necessary for the safe running of trains When th's is done the largest com pressing plant ever assembled on one job will be dismantled and scattered to the four winds of heaven, unless some other large contractor finds a job sufficiently large to make use tif It.

It was a holiday; school was closed, and ns the weather was de lightful two young girls and their • brother got lenve to spend the after noon In the woods and carry a lunch basket with them Among the eata bles they had three boiled eggs-one for each, but just as they were about to set out a young friend called and they invited him to accompany them The oldest,girl, with an elder sister's thoughtfulness, said to iter brother “George, we must add to our lunch basket or there may not be enough \ 11 ,^/^* whereupon George went off nnd got another egg and put it in the basket. While his sisters procured cake, etc “ why, George, where did you gel that egg?\ “ Oh, out of the basket In (he cel lar,\ was the reply “But It is not cooked, and we can not use a raw egg Which was the egg that you put in last?” But George could not tell; the eggs all looked just alike, so they felt them to see which were the warmest, but they were all equally cold, the boiled eggs having been cooked early In the day and taken to the cellar to cool. They then held them up to the light and they thought that on eof the eggs was more transparent tan the rest, but' the difference did not seem to be so% reat as to make them quite sure as to which had been boiled and which was raw.

Just what the building of the tubes cost no one outside of the engineering offices of the Pennsylvania railroad and the contractors know, for the price of the job never was made pub lic Unlike most tasks of the kind the contracting company is not work ing for a definite price, it and the railroad are forking in partnership as it were, the company paying the total cost of material and construc tion nnd allowing the constructing firm a percentage of the total cost as its compensation. This is well into the hundreds of thousands. in irregularity of meals and broken sleep; in exposure to weather and to infection; and last but not least, in the scanty remuneration which his labor so often brings him. The combined influence of all these causes is sufficient to undermine the strongest constitution long before a man has reached the limit of three score and ten A comparison of tables complred by statisticians in different countries gives doctors an average of 67 years at death. Doctors as a class are especially liable to certain diseases Setting aside affections due to exposure and infection, the practice of medicine leaves a disproportionate tribute from Us professors in thd form of diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous sj'stems.

Where have I heard that name?” mused a guest at the St. running from Manhattan, near Thir ty-third street, to the Long Island lermihal In each the experience of the builders of the Manhattan subway has been utilized in that a separate tube is intended to accommodate trains running in but one direction. This makes each train act as a piston, as far as the air is concerned, and makes the problem of ventilating easy.

ICELESS ICE BOXES. Rdnning a Refrigerator or Cold Stor age Plant by Electric Motor. Horseless wagons, smokeless pow der. noiseless guns and lseless Ice boxes! The last item Is described in Popular Mechanics. It consists of an electric motor belted to a pump which keeps a cooling solution mov ing through a set of pipes which are placed in the refrigerator. These pipes are similar to the steam or hot- water radiators In the living rooms, only they cool Instead of heat the apartment. The machine Is entirely automatic, and constantly maintains whatever degree of cold is selected. The mo ment the thermometer rises above also do much to remove the stigma of being twenty years behind the times, which has rested on the transporta tion facilities with more or less jus tice for many years, and add millions to the value of real estate in Long Island. When the Pennsylvania tunnels now being built under the North or Hudson river are completed, it will be possible to go on local or through train, no matter whether that train brings passengers from San Francisco or the City of Mexico, under the Hud son from Jersey to the heart of New York city, or Manhattan island, under the city through the tunnels and un der the East river by the tunnels just joined, to any point in Long Island that point the machine starts up of itself-and works until the apartment is sufficiently cooled, then it stops of itself. The whole affair is so simple as to require practically no attention, ex cept an occasional oiling, which is no more difficult than to oil a sewing machine At trifling expense one can also fix up a basement room as a cold storage for large supplies, such as barrels of apples, jars of butter, sacks of potatoes, etc , which it is now im possible to keep In the average resl denee In many famil es the saving effect ed by pi rchaslng supplies In quanti tics Instead of lrora day to day would be enough t j pav the entire cost ot operating the cold storage system, if not. the amount forerly spent for ice certain’y would. trimmed each side with two rows* of insertion; it is open quite down the front, showing a tucked vest of the silk gathered to a small lace yoke.

The Kimono’s Rival. It's chic, but that is not strange For right from the Arabian sheik of the bernoose and the fleet horses and the epigrammatic wisdofh of the east did it come. It is the djibbah and it may perhaps be the successor to the more easily pronouncod kimono. At anj> rate, the djibbah has caught the attention of many modish women. It is a sacklike garment with but one opening and cape sleeves that are one with the body part. Western re sourcefulness has overcome the east ern limitations of entrance, and the negligee now possesses an invisible •fastening which avoids the trouble some over-the-head method.

Many girls between the ages of 13 and 17 grow so rapidly that they out grow clothes which show little or no wear This is especially so of skirts. Many girls are the unhappy possessors of several dresses which would be suitable and serviceable for school wear If they were not so short. Luckily there Is a fashion this year which makes It possible to lengthen most any style of skirt. If the dress Is made of checked plaid, or striped goods, buy some plain colored goods which matches the ground of the dress. The amount of goods that is needed is determined by the number of inches that is needed to add to the skirt. First of all lengthen the skirt with cambric, and then cover the cambric with a shaped band of the material you are using to lengthen the skirt. Finish off the bottom neatly and cover the joining of the skirt and the band with braid. If the waist Is too tight, it may also be altered for use. If It Is too tight across the bust, it may be made larger by letting in pieces of the plain goods in a manner which will have to be de termined by the way the waist was originally made. If the sleeves are too short or tight, cut them out alto gether and press them. Then cut them so as to form a small cape over the upper part of the sleeve. The waist should then be worn over a thin waist of lawn swiss, dimity, or some other sheer material. If you so desire it, the upper part of the waist WRONG IDEA OF ECONOMY. Parasol in New Design. One of the newest parasols to finish a charming summer costume is of white china silk embroidered all around the edge with sprays of thistle done in lightest mauve and palest greens. It is a novel style, and adds every possible charm of color artd grace, at the same time being simple add decidedly not on the order of the fluffy lingerie parasols so popular a short time ago. This same design is sometimes used on a linen parasol for morning, except that the design is embroidered in cot ton or linen thread and is of a much plainer stitch than the silky style for afternoon. may be cut away and finished with the braid or a bias band of the plaid goods and the underneath waist worn as a guimpe. BLACK CRIN HAT. Don’t Begrudge Necessary Individual istic Touches to Gowns. It is like putting imitation lace on silk velvet, is the skimping of neces sary touches in a gown which needs these very touches to give it a little Individuality. It is not economical to ruin a gown for the want of that individuality which will make it artistic. Perhaps this is why so many dresses are a dis appointment to-their wearers. They attempt to cony a pretty style, but they omit some of the details without considering how dependent the suc cessful whole is upon those details. The modern dress is Indeed a crea tion. It takes thought to achieve the desired effect, and it takes an artistic eye to get that effect econotfilcally It can be done, but with care— never by practicing the economy in the wrong place. . It is not necessary to follow the ox- tremes of fashion, but it Is necessary to sfibw good taste ahd to study the harmony both of colors and fabrics in planning a.costume. This is the first and greatest -lesson to he learned liy the .woman who stud ies the art of correct'dressing.

In Border Effects. In the border effects nothing Is more conservative than the dotted blue foulards with the border formed of various sized dots in the same color, graduating from a pin dot to one as big as a silver dollar. a prepared collar foundation with a continuous boning. There are only two ends of the bone, and these are turned under three-eighths of an inch so that there is no danger from scratching. The honing starts on one side of the back at the top of the collhr afad then is sewed down to the bottom of the collar, where it is made to curve upwards again under the ear. The boning then is taken to the bot tom of the collar and continues to the other side, where it Is curved to match. Pretty Dress Trimming. Simple decorative needlework Is a feature of the small girls’ school frocks this season, and charming ef fects can be developed from pink or blue chambray. A full skirt is trimmed above the hem with French knots worked in wheel design, outlined with briar stitching, using white crochet cotton, and the band connecting the baby waist and gathered skirt is sim ilarly decorated. The top of the waist is a hand cut In round Dutch neck, also trimmed with- stitches, and the short pnff sleeves are combined with bands to match. For Children’s-Dresses.
