USEFUL LAUNDRY OUTFIT
FOR BACHELOR GIRL
Necessary Articles May Be Purchased
With Little Outlay.
The bachelor girl who looks with tho
eyes of desire on the lingerie blouse and
turns away to purchase something plain
nnd practical, should acnulro a laundry
outfit of her own.
A little practice, and she would find
heiself, like Trilby, ejuite fascinated by
the laundress' ait nnd able to rival the
skill of the professional blachlssese de
fin.
To make It an artistic achievement in
stead of an unpleasant tn"k one must
have the right pharnpheinalla.
There Is a little wnshboard thut nts
In a busin nnd henrs the rather frivolous
namo of "Daisy" that costs only 10 cents.
A small elotheis-rack that folds and
tikes up veij llttlo closet room means an
outlay of fiftv cents.
And then there Is a board, neither very
broad nor long, something that enn bo
ugej on a tiunk, or placed, betwt.cn two
chairs whllo 01m Irons from a third. 33
cents will buy one.
Theie are electric Irons and nlpohol
Irons and humdrum every day Irons for

"These ladles." continues La Guerre

could have lied panic-stricken at tho first

who deserted the city did, that their
fortunes would afford them no protection
against exploding bombs fiom the Taube
aeroplnncs.
"Hut theso brave women of America
remained with us to work among ter
rible scenes day and night.

Mrs. Vanderbllt begins her day by mak

UNION TRACTION TRIES
TO BLOCK TRANSIT
Continued from Pars 1
by tho Union Traction Company, the
urgent need for the establishment of the
now high speed lines and for the other
advantages arranged for the- public by
the transit program still will exist nnd

If any nrtlnn by the city be deferred

has agreed to the program, he said, then
all thought of ranld transit nm as well

"It has never been proposed by any one
that the Union Traction stockholders
should contribute one dollar for the
equipment nf any clty-bullt or owned
system of rapid transit lines. The cost
of equlppltiB these lines would bo ap
proximately 112,000,000, but the proposed
agreement with the Itapld Transit Com

Trsnslt Company, nnd not by the Union
Traction Compiuiv The only thlnn that
Union Traction stockholders are asked to
do Is to supply funds for tho normal ex
tension of elotliiK surface lines
"The protests ut the inlon Traction
stockholders, therefore, are protests
against a thing thnt has never been
