Julius Kruttschmltt of San Francis co, the general manager of the South ern Pacific Railroad, recently gave out the largest single order for steel rails that the business world baa ever known. A reporter, in discussing this order with Mr. Kruttschmltt, called It a "daring one." "No," said the railroad magnate, smiling, "there was nothing daring tbout It. Daring things ' are those that have In them something risky, lomething Insecure. For Instance, you sight term 'daring" the well-known iction of Hanks, the milkman, In the millionaire's bouse." "Hanks, the milkman?' 'said the re porter, puzzled. "Yes, Hanks, the milkman. He, one morning, forgot to water his milk. In the ball of his best customer he re membered this omission. A huge tub of fine, clear water stood on the floor by his side. There was no one to spy on him, and thrice, before the maid brought up the Jugs, Hanks diluted his milk with a large measure filled from the tub. Then he served the young woman calmly and went on. "As he was bellowing down the next area the first customer's footman beck oned to hlra. He returned, and was ushered into the presence of the cus tomer himself, a millionaire. " 'Hanks,' said the gentleman, 'I pre fer hereafter to water my own milk. "Well, sir," said Hanks, "It's useless to deny the thing, for I suppose you were watching me while ' '' 'No,' said the millionaire. 'No one was watching you. But the fact Is. Hanks, the children are taking medi cinal baths, and the tub In the hall was full of sea water.' " Cricketer Lives 98 Year.

As might j be expected, the Junk shop guest cham ber Is sure to prove a pitfall to the un I wary. Having not long ago to put the finishing touches to a portrait, I went into the couutry to pass a couple of dnys with my sitter, a mere ac quaintance. At dinner the first 'even ing, wishing to start the conversation pleasantly, I asked: "Whose portrait Is that in my room? Such n charming face!"

Taffeta Still In Favor. Black taffeta costumes, it was said In the early spring, and it was thought by the best authorities, would not be fashionable during the summer, as they were to be bought ready-made at so many of the large department shops. Vet there has been it succession of the most charming designs furnished for black taffeta gowns, and these have been made up in large numbers for women who know how to dress well. The skirts are trimmed with tucks or folds of the taffeta, with bauds of em broidery or lace ruchings. The waists are tucked or pleated, and have white lace .yokes and bands overlaid with embroidery or lace. Sliirrings and rordings, such as were the delight of olden times, are most fashionable. Harper's Bazar. Children's Wear. Common scuso is visible In most of the modern fashions for children's wear. Small boys, in particular, profit greatly by the present styles that arc so practical and at the same time so smart and attractive in appearance. The one-piece suit worn over 'knicker bockers is made both in wash materials and In serges, lu colors and in white. The white blouse, when made with a sailor collar open at the front, can be -worn with an Inside piece like a yoke, and can be worn with open throat, if desired. The leather belt, pulled well down to give the fashionable long walsted appearance, must never be forgotten; no trimming is necessary, although lace collars and cuffs or bands of bright scarlet or blue linen on the white linen or pique frocks are ocst effective.

The woman with a longing to be thought picturesque and with an eye for color lias a hard time in these days steering her way through the many pitfalls that surround her, and In truth requires an immense amount of con centration of purpose not to be led astray by the picturesque fashions that in the illustrations look so much morn attractive than thoy do ou the Indi vidual. One rule should always be followed, that no style should be chosen tliat Is markedly unbecoming. It is far bet ter to dress according to the style of last year, provided that style was be coming, tiinn to run the risk of being made a perfect fright by following too closely the exaggerated fashions of this season. Materials, however, furnish so much that is attractive and desirable as to he some compensation for the manner In which they are made up. And it in perfectly possible to modify the exag gerated effect of many of the more pro nounced designs. The quaint old-fashioned-looking silks, the sprlggled mus lins and batistes, are very charming and quite possible provided they are not made up too elaborately. White is not so fashionable as last year, and light colors relieved with white or black are preferred, or white gowns made up over color that are very ef fective and becoming. Harper's Bazar.
