ROUGH AND READY| Costumes for Little Girls to Play in During Vacation. FOR COUNTRY LIFE IN SUMMER ee, Frocks That Can Be Easily Made by Loving Mothers Seaman TO STAND WEAR AND TEAR —-+ Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. OR THE LITTLE girls who go away to have fun after their own fashion elabo- rate frocks and hand- somely trimmed gar- ments are entirely unnecessary. To climb trees, make mud pies and enjoy such like amusements as all children love, the lit- tle ones, unless very clothes in the way. So the sensible mother has plenty of plain little gowns for her little girls and does not bother herself with the making of expensive ones. For a Little Girl Who Climbs, One little girl of my acquaintance, who has several beothers, when she goes away for her summer holiday in the country, wears trousers and blouse watsts exactly like the boys, and ds great pleasure in being clothed as they are. But this will, of course, only do for very small girls, and it is doubtful whether girls not blessed with brothers will submit to such treatment. The second picture is a very plain frock which any little girl can be happy in. Pretty nad Stylish.

The bodice has only two seams, the shoulder and side, pro- ducing the blouse effect, which is so popu- The square yoke Is outlined by two bands of half-inch black velvet ribbon, while three rows of the same trimming are placed around the high stock. The lower band of velvet outlining the yoke forms a heading for the deep Vandyke points. A pretty feature of this design is the wide em. pire girdle fastened at the back with bows of velvet with long ends reaching to the skirt hem. Another new arrangement is the skirt ruffle, which must take up balf the skirt length and be headed by two rows of velvet trimming. Checked Silks. There is a positive rush for all sorts of checked effects In silks, and some most charming and unique combinations are dis- played, for example, pale yellow with bright red, blue with primrose, orange and brown, dark with light blue, and green with violet or red. Sometimes a stripe of pale violet or heliotrope shows a touch of fawn color, or deep brown, with a wavy figure in black crossing these stripes. Most popular of these, however, are the black and white, and brown and white, while two shades of green and two shades of violet are regarded with almost equal favor. Fashion Notes. Any style of feminine waistcoat has, be- low its flat square collar, a scarf-like ar- rangement, with bows and deep ends. In color these little accessories are usually del- icate or bright, the intermediate stages being relegated to the sterner sex. ‘There are extremely broad shoulder ruf- fles at the top of some of the waists most worn, while others have lately assumed a much more simple appearance from smaller universally adopted. © great amount of material which the fashionable modiste tnsists is necessary for the present style of sleeve s explained by the fact that quite frequently the sleeves are made double. It has become fashionable to wear “lawn tennis’ and “outing” shoes for general va popular russet and white canvas shoes. The shape of the russet shoe brings it up very high on the instep, and is laced. | ‘or a dressy, fancy shoe a style is shown which has a strap across the instep of silk worked with gold thread. The toe of this dainty conceit is also lightly embroidered with gold. B. Vv. K. — Cupid Cleared of Theft. m Life. “Was that you, sir, who stole a kiss from daughter in that tunnel?” ».

It can certainly not be recommended on the score of beauty, but any child will en- joy herseif in this simple gingham gown, and can have no fears of hurting it. Cross: barred gingham is the best material tor it, and if it be cut short sleeved, it will add to | the little girl's plersure. A ‘simple Mother Hubbard with a square yoke, full sleeves and pointed turn-over collar any one can| make, and a set of them for morning wear will prove. invaluable. Picturesque. The third picturesque little figure wears a Gretchen gown of light blue. The body is tight-fitting and has straps across the front fastened by tiny buttons. The small revers, cuffs and straight inside piece are of blue and white polka dot gingham. It can be worn with or without a guimpe, and should be buttoned up the back. A large blue sun- = keeps the freckles from the dainty race. Another Morning Frock. Another morning gown is shown in the accompanying picture. It is cut all in one piece and has gathers at the neck, which is cut slightly pointed back and front. The armholes of the full sleeves have a narrow ruffle of embroidery around them and the neck 1s finished off in the same. This cool little dress will be charming made from white India linen. The quaint little dress in the next picture is of vale vink dimity. It is made with a square yoke and to this is gathered the full ! skirt. A three-cornered kerchief with a ruMe of thin lace is passed around the neck and crossed over in front. The sleeves are two puffs, which have a ruffle of lace between them. This is a charming little dress for an afternoon in the count! quite easy to make. — — For Mud Pies. A very cool little girl is the subject of the next cut. Her dress is pretty and airy in the summer and can be as.an apron in winter. The chief features of it are the big ruffies, which make a bertha all about the neck and take the place of sleeves.

The babies need to be cool more than any one else, so a picture of a dress for a child just beginning to walk is represented. It is thin white material and is made with low neck and tiny short puffed sleeves. It has several rows of shirring at the neck, which | is bound, and has the narrowest of lace whipped around it. The sleeves are finished in the same way. A full rufMfe, which has | lace sewed to each side of it, is gathered | about the skirt. The reck should be cut off from the shoulders as much as possible. Two Little Tomboys. The last two little girls, who are enjoying the delights of climbing, wear simple litt!> morning dresses. The first is made low pecked and is without sleeves and is gath- ered to a full skirt. The other wears a puff nen blouse and skirt. The blouse is gath- ered to a yoke and has navy blue collar and cuffs. Both are comfortable and as little hampered in play as possible. M.E.3. -- cee Written for The Evening Star.

POSTAL SERVICE FEATURES Written for The Evening Star. HE RAILWAY mail service plays a most important part in every one of the great railroad strikes today. aid which they can Invoke from the fed- eral authorities the railroad companies would be almost pow- erlees in the hands of a large body of strik- ers, Local laws are administered with a certain prejudice; the federal iaw is dealt | out without consideration for friend or foe. The striking railroad hand fears the fed- eral officers and the possible body of regu- lar troops behind them when local authori- ties and the local militia have little influ- is why the labor unions are trying to have Congress remove the safeguards which surround the han- dling of the mail to make it possible for | them to interfere with the operation of the mail trains so that railroad managers will have to sidetrack all but the mail cars and to send these cars through on a specia! schedule or fail in their contracts with the government. At present the rail- | Way mail car is a part of the train, and if the train is delayed the mail is delayed. So the future of the great railroad strikes in @ great measure hinges on the relation of the Post Office Department to the rail- road companies. The ratiway mail cars are not the prop- erty of the Post Office Department. They belong to the railroad companies and ar operated under a lease. When the first contracts for carrying the mail were made with the railroads no one looked forwara to the day when the Post Office Depart- ment would operate long tains of cars de- voted entirely to the handling of the mails. The first maits were curried in baggage cars just as express matter is carried on the Post Office Department is done en route today that it is necessary that the depart- ment should have its own cars. These cars are miniature post offices. In tnem mail matter is received, sorted and distributed just as local or drop letters are landled at @ local post office, but with this differ- ence, that while the local distributor has to keep in mind only the arrangement of the streets of a city with which he is fa- | millar, the railway maii clerk has to keep | consiantly in memory the names of 12,0 or 13,000 post offices, many of them with contlicting Utles, and to Know by just what roungavout route each of them is to be reached. The local distributor, too, does his work between certain fixed hours, stand- ing on a firm footing and with the prospect ol @ home greeting awaiting him when ms day's labor is over. The railway mail clerk works at irregular hours, often a day and Higdt without rest, with the swaying floor- ing of a rairoad car unger 100i, and nis outiook at the end of his route is ofien an iron bed on the top floor of a pust oitice building. Plenty of Applicants. Although the post of rm ay mail clerk is probabiy the most dangerous post in the government service, there are always more applications for appointments in the service tman there are vacancies to fill, Between 4,500 and 5,000 applications for appoint- ments are made every year. only 7,00 clerks, 400 of them substitutes, in the waole service, and as the percentage of remevais is comparatively small, it can be seen easily that the proportion of these applicants likely to be appomted to a piace | But when you eliminate the | is not large. number of those who fail to pass the civil service examination (about one in three) the number of those who decline appoint- ments after they have passed the examina- tion, and the number of those who prove physically or menially deficient after enter- ing the service, there is still a fair chance for the man who possesses the needful qualifications. The civil service examination for railway mail clerks is comparatively simple. Ti actual test of efficiency comes after the preliminary work which foliows appoint- ment. All that the civil service commis- sion undertakes to do is to learn whether an applicant is fairly well informed in or- thography, penrhanship, copying, letter writing, arithmetic, geography, the railway nd other transportation systems of the United States, and is reasonably proficient in reading ordinary handwriting. The last ination which can be said to be specially applicable te the railway mail service, and the information which the applicant is ex- pected to possess is not much greater than that which every well-informed man should have. In the line of geography, aminer 1s likely to ask the examined the name of the state of his birth and the boundaries of it, the names of two import- ant cities on certain of the large rivers, the names of the capitals of certain states, etc. In the list of railway and other transporta- tion lines the applicant ts expected to krow the names of the chief routes and their connections and to make up a speci- men route between two large cities, When the applicant has written out the answers to the first seven sets of questions the examiner takes him by himself into an examination room and hands to him fifty cards, on which addresses have been writ- ten as though they were on envelopes. ‘These addresses are in different hands,and they are written no more legibly than the usual envelope address. The applicant has aminer the addresses 6n these cards. His reading is timed,and the mistakes he makes are noted. This card reading counts one-fifth of the total in making up the record of the man examined. The importance of this reading is exemplified by the fact that a: soon as a man receives an appointment hi is put through another course of reading by the chief clerk of the division superin- tendent, to whom he reports. If he under- goes this test satisfactorily, he receives a book of regulations and a “scheme” of the route on which he is to work. A railway mail clerk does not have a choice of routes. If there is a vacancy on a route near his home, he is very likely to get it; but if the vacancy 1s far from the place where he lives the department requests him to move over to the vicinity of his route if he ac- cepts. Sometimes the clerk prefers to de- cline an appointment which is far from his home and wait for another vacancy. This does not prejudice him with the depart- ment; in fact his name is left at the head of the list and the next appointment is probably offered to him. Thowing the Cards. When the clerk receives the local “scheme” he studies it for several weeks and then goes up for examination. A pack of cards is handed to him. These cards are about the size of a small visiting card, and on each is the address of a post office on the line where the new clerk is to go to work. The clerk is placed in front of a specially Prepared case, equipped with about 200 p‘geon holes, and he is expected to “throw” the cards into the appropriate compart- ments—that is, to place each in the little — hole where it belongs. he time he consumes in doing this is noted and the pigeon holes are examined to learn the percentage of his errors. If his work is satisfactory, he is told that he will be expected to go out on a certain route on a certain day. Sometimes he goes stant to the two or three other clerks who are working on one of the big through routes—like that between New York and Philadelphia. In that case he has such pleas- ant duties as fall to the lot of a light por- ter in a Jobbing establishment. The rail- Way mail clerk does not have any one to order about. He does the handling of the big mail sacks himself. So this cheerful duty is assigned to the new man until he is broken in to other work. But it happens frequently that the rew man goes out on @ one-man route. In that case he must have a tutor. Sometimes the man whom he is replacing will stay and make the run with him—if he is sufficiently “insulted.” Without the) small roads. But so much of the work of | As there are | three are the only branches of the exam-| the ex-/ Sometimes one of the substitutes on the we force can be hired to coach him. WI oe the instructor is, the pay he re- ceived comes out of the new clerk's pocke' At the end of the first month of his ac- tive service the new clerk comes up for examination at the case. Then at stated intervals he is examined again. These case examinations are one of the regular fea- tures of the service. As many as 13,000 of them are held in # year, at which 15,000,000 cards representing addressed letters are handled, and remarkable as the record may seem, nearly 96 per cent of these cards are distributed correctly. If you have ever seen @ mail clerk “throwing” mail matter, take an ordinary pack of cards, shuffle them and then try to distribute them to certain points on a card table as rapidly as he handles the mail. You will get some faint idea from the difficulty in placing properly these thirteen different cards what a men- tal gfort Js required to keep the run of schedules. The Longest Route. A clerk serves a probation of six months. If his record is good he then receives an ap- pointment to a regular route. He cannot choose his hours of work. He does not come to his desk at 9 o'clock in the morn- ing, like the department clerk at Washing- ton; he does not go away at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on cool days and 8 o'clock In the afternoon when it is warm. More than likely he begins his labors at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, and he may keep going steadily until the next night, or even longer. There is one route—the longest route in the railway mail rvice—on which the clerk works from 2 o'clock in the morning until o'clock of the morning following, and then, after twelve hours’ rest, he returns to the car to make the trip back. After this he jays off for four day But think of the mental and physical strain of that seventy hours’ stretch with only a twelve-hour in- termission for sleep! This long route is be- tween Washington and Charleston, 8. C. it is 1,030 miles, and the railway mail clerks are glad that it is the only one of its kind. On this route, as on other through routes, much of the mail is in “closed pouches that is, is intended for one city—and is ieft untouched during its journey in the car. But most of the mail is distributed in the car en route. If it ts intended for a point on the line it is pigecnboled for that point. If it is intended for a point far beyond it is Lut in a state package, or, perhaps, it is distributed to one of two state packages—as for upper or lower California. Mail tur dis- tant, points tc redistributed further along the line. So for distant points the clerk | does not have to do more, perhaps, than to divide a state into upper and lower parts, but the nearer the point of a letter’s desti- nation the more he has to know of the ex- act route by which it must be delivered. ‘The distribution of railway mail matter is Tow so perfect that between the large cities in many cases even the carrier distribution is made—that is, the mail for the point of destination is made up into carriers’ bundles just as it would be sorted in the local post cffice. You can mail a letter from Kansas City to St. Louis, go down on the same train with the letter, and, if you are not in a hurry, the letter is very apt to be de- | livered before you have time io call on the | man to whom you addressed it. Mail for New York on all of the through reutes Separated to the different sub- stations, and only a small proportion of it is handled in the general post office. Mail for banks and new@paper offices is made up | separately and it is the first mail to reach | Its destination. Then there are registered letters, which are handled quite apart from other mail and for which a receipt is given by each man into whose hands they pas: And finally there is the special-delivery mail,which goes in the regular mail packets, but which is always put on top of each packet to which it has been sorted, with a colored slip to draw attention to it, so that when the mail is thrown out on the dis- tributing table at the point of destination the clerk's eye will fall on it immediately and it will be handed to a messenger | promptly for delivery. Mistakes a: Their Consequences. Of course the greater part of the mail handled on a railway mail car comes from the terminal point where the car starts. But a great deal is picked up en route, some at stopping points where perhaps it 1s all local; some at junction points where it is made up of local matter and mail from the surrounding country; some at small stations where the train does not stop and where the mail bag is caught by the swing- ing arm at the side of the car. The railway mail clerk, in flannel shirt and overalls, with uniform cap on his head, opens the | bugs of mail as they come aboard, sorts the j letters into the pigeonholes of ‘the cases | that run along the side of the car und the | newspapers into the bags which hang in | frames waiting to receive them. Then as | each station is neared the pouch of mail is made up, the letters being fastened together in packages, each supplied with a slip on ; Which is stamped or written the name of | the clerk who handled and the date of handling. By this record every error can be traced to the man responsible. Quick work it is to deliver the math bags from the train. Often the stopping of the train is for a minute only. Often the train does not stop at all and the bag is thrown flying to the station platform. The clerk must know the stations pretty well or he | will deliver his mall at the wrong rlace. One clerk was discharged from the service for delivering every bag of mail on a long | route one station ahead of its destination. | He made a mistake at the first station and | repeated it at every station that followed. His case was exceptional. The number of | clerxs dismissed is very smail, though the |Tules of the service are extremely strict. | The losing of a mail bag key is considered |@ good reason for dismissal. The clerks may not use liquor at all while on duty and pred must not use it to excess when off ut They must pay their debts promptly. They must not leave their cars except to get meals, and then only if the cars are securely locked. Tgey must not take news- papers from thelr wrappers to read them or for any other purpose. And, finally, they must admit no one to their cars without orders from headquarters. It was a cus- tem not so long ago for a clerk who was eff duty to ride with a fellow clerk if he wished to travel from one station to an- lother. Even this ts forbidden now, unless | authority is given by the division superin- | tendent. And, by the way, an oréer from the | superintendent to travel in a mail car is | hot @ pass on the ratiroad hauling the icar. The railroad agrees to haul the neces- | sary clerks and supplies; but any one other |than a clerk traveling in a mail car must | pay fare. A Life of Peril. The life of a railway mail clerk is not only busy; it is hazardous. Every year | there are 300 to 350 accidents to railway | mail cars. The percentage of accidents is | ten minutes In which to read aloud to the ex. /@reer when there are strikes, and the § tracks are blocked or switches are turned | |for the purpose of ditching trains.
