These rosettes are tacked securely on the band iu even spaces and in such manner as to permit the soft, wide mescaline rib bon to be drawn through.

A pretty one may be made with a yard of blue silesia or any pretty material, two yards of ribbon an inch wide, a small piece of white flannel, some stiff pasteboard and a spool of silk. Of the pasteboard cut four cir cular pieces, each one measuring seven inches across. Cover these four pieces smoothly with the cloth and overhand the edges of two together with silk, the remaining two to lie done In the same way for the opposite side.

THE STEEL COACH—A TRAVEL SAFEGUARD. The Pennsylvania Railroad now has in operation 011 its lines east ol Pittsburgh over two hundred passenger coaches, dining cars, baggage cars, and mail cars of the new all-steel type. The solid steel framework of these cars, designed to resist shock and minimize the dangers of collision, is further ; strengthened by the steel sheathing enclosing the body of the car. In fact, everything about the coach is steel, save the window frames, the cushions of the seats and the flooring. Such little woodwork as enters into the make-up of the coach, the plush with which the car seats are covered and the hair with which they are stuffed is treated to a fireproofing pro cess, whilst the floors are cement, thus rendering the conch j at once practically indestructible and thoroughly fireproof. It is built like a battleship. ; The new coach is longer than the standard car generally in use 011 the railroads of this country, and has a comfort able seating capacity of sixty to ninety people according to the style of the coach. The unusual weight of the coaches gives to them a solidity that greatly increases the comfort of the passenger. The seats are adjusted to a more convenient space and angle, the coaches are all lighted with electricity and amply ventilated in winter as well as summer by new and thorough ly tested methods. The interior finish ot the coach is plain though pleasing to the eye. The absence of ornamentation enhances the idea of strength and at the same time assures absolute cleanliness and thorough sanitation. Steel cars are now in use 011 the principal trains between New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and on the Main Line between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The number of cars is constantly being increased as the finished product comes from the shops. The Pennsylvania Railroad's equipment is recognized as the Standard of America. 1422-44-21.
