Silk Waists are Daintier Than Ever

It will seemingly never be possible to displace the shirt waist. This‘ season Dame Fashion has decrecd that ‘the complete costume of skiril . and bodice alike shall be the correct - thing, and it perhaps is, yet the’ shir: waist still retains all its old popularity, and is being seen iu . daintier materials, and more exquisite style than ever before. = The daintiest blouses yet in sight are made .of sheer linen, hand embroideved. tucked, and inset with medallions and insertions of @ lace, but these are oniy forerunners ol . summer styles which, no doubt, wili - be varied beyond precedent when the full complement of summer waists appear. o ; v ; Silk waists we have with us’ always, lined and unlined, boned and unboned. and as simple and elaborate as you ifanecy. The. unlined hand e-‘mm_-nide_f're('l imported Waists of white and blug Jouisine silk are delicately, daintily cparming. ~ There are the-same variations of fine tucks, narrow bands joined with an open stitch, to which many new ones are added. A great many me- / dallions of lace are used, set in hit « or miss, it would. seem. without rhymie or reason apparently. and ‘ you see them in the wash waists as well as—the silk ones. Every kind of a little trick ic which“the needle can play a part is applied .to the blouse waists, and much of the decoration is made of -the material itself. Yokes of little bauds fagoted together are quite as popular as ever, ‘but in the new- / est models the bands assume new « forms., rounding down in front to form a yest lLime possibly, oOr arranged in any form fancy may dictate so long as it is new and graceful in design. ¢ . Lave bands and lace motifs -are " also set in with the herring bone * stitehes on either side of a tiny band. Coarse silk is used for the stitches. "It is astonishing how much - this mode of adding the lace improves the ~effect. no matter whether- the material is wool, silk or linen. A wool canvas is now used for shirt waists and squares of yak lace are an appropriate trimming. . : = Pale blue silk waists seem to rank , next to white in pufmlar I'u/ﬂ)r. and [ embroidered daintily ivith white they " are charming. The familiar outline, close in the back and blsused in front. prevails, but some of the modcls blonse a little in the back as well. The sleeves so far. revealed are . rather close at the top, spreading out into a full pull gathered into a band at the werist, = " s : The lined waists are most worn " just at Ihe moment. and vou can see véry )n'vtt_\: ones of white crepe. ““de ehfne with tueked yokes of whité chiffon inset with heavy lace formin_f_v the edge finish -and extending down .and up .in_ irregular - lines.

In the matter of the winter tailormades New. York is following much after the fashions of London, where the coat of the “man about town” and the ‘‘military man' are being copied: Sp it is that we see in New York good models of the “guards coat,” as pictured above.- : Of course, the realistic effect of the military style is enhanced when the coat is built in dark but bright blue cloth. with pipings of scarlet cloth to finish off the collar and cuffs, the pocket flaps, and the strap which holds in the slight fullness of the back at the waist, while sundry gold buttons are also included in the ‘decorative scheme; but, on the other hand, anyone who finds this coeloring too “striking will be well suited by the grays or browns, with pipings of a deeper shade, :

Another example of the London tailor-made is the pictured costume of crimson zibeline frieze, with its deeply basqued blouse coat, belted in at the waist by a closely stitched band and-made distinctive by a double cape cdllar whose novel shape.is accentuated by several rows of stitching. Some pretty little buttons of red enamel and gold put in a decorative appearance at either side of the slightly-pouched- fronts and are also used to--apparvently—fasten the sleeves from the elbow to the wrist—these sleeves, 100, you will note, being in quite an original and very becoming shape. The gracefully hanging skirt is. in its torn, trimmed with two encircling baunds of stitched velvet exactly matching the frieze in shade.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Trade Ja Generally Good Throughout the Country with Dealings More on a Cash Basis.

» New York, Jan. 23.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says:

Heavy transactions in merchandisc are reported, but there.is much complaint regarding the slow movement of freight. The situation as to general lines is aggravated by the precedence given fuel over all other freight except live stock and perishable goods. Notwithstanding the extensive increase in transporting facilities during the past year, some roads have been comipelled to decline consignments, and in many cases where a large number of cars were desired only one was provided. It iz conspicuous in practically every section of the country that. despite high prices, buying is liberal and of the better qualities of goods, while dealings as a rule are on more of a cash baxis. Demand for building materials iw unusually brisk for the season, and prices of lumber at the south have advanced. Although fortunate sections are receiving a better supply of fuel, the. situation is still serious, and many pig iron furnaces have been added to the idle list.

As to the demand for finished products, requirements are still pressicg in railway equipment, both struetnral and rolling stock., and it is stated that orders have been placed for as many tons of steel rails as were produced in the full year 1902. Steel for buildings, bridges and ships find a ready market, and implement makers are becoming more active. New orders for merchant steel are light, but old contracts are still numerous. Firmness has characterized the course of. the leading staples, an abundant demand being in evidence, while available supplies are restricted bv traffie ('u,ndit-ions. L

DIE IN FIRE PANIC.

Women Trampled to Death by Men inn Wild Effort to Escape from Kire in New York.

New York, Jan: 94.—Three women were killed and five women- and one man severely injured. in a panicin Leopold Miller & Sons’ cigar factory, on Crosby street, Friday, as a result of a fire in an adjoining building. The dead: Jennie Lessino. 25 years; Fannie Kerstberg, 22; Mrs. Mary Sparbara, 25. ¢

The flames from the burning building beat against the walls of the cigar factory. causing a panic among the 500 men, women and boys at work. There was a wild rush for the fire escapes at the front and rear ends of the building, in which the weaker were crushed and trampled by the stronger. The men did not hesitate to push the women aside, and when they reached the second story, instead of waiting for the ladders to be raised, pushed the women off to the ground, about 15 feet, and leaped themselves. In this way many women were more or less injured. : The worst scenes. however, were on the stairways by which crowds of the panic-stricken employes iried %o escape from the building. The men shrieked as:if mad. and *nocked the women down, trampled them under foot. At the third story there wasa blockade, and had it not been for the timely arrival of the police the death list would have been much longer.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Bill to Protect Quail For Five Years Introduced. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 16.—1 n the house Thursday a bill was introduced toprevent:grave robbing. The legislators have had their attention ecalled to the recent scandalous conditions at Indianapolis, and are determined upon remedial legislation. The usual provisilon was made for the expenses of the general assembly. ‘A bill appropriating $115,000 has been passed by beth houses. An attempt to reduce it to $105,000 was strenuously resisted. In the senate a measure by Senator Gray, providing that the fine to be assessed against railroad companies for neglecting to bulletin the time of trains, shall not be more than $3OO, was up for debate. The bill was flercely attacked by Senator Milburn, of Dubois. The bill was saved by a decisiva vote, some democrats voting with the republicans. A democratic senator from Evansville declared that the Southern had attempted to influence the votes of the senators by providing them with certain courtesies.

Indianapolis, Jan. 17.—The Southern Railroad Co. completed its victory in the senate Friday. The bill to relieve it of paying $27,000 in damages was passed by a vote of 30 to 12.

Resolutions of welcome to Mitchell and an invitation to visit and address the general assembly were passed. It is believed that both house and senate will make a record this season for minimum number of bills. The tendency is to discourage useless legislation. : .
