Dressing Quickly.

A lady writes from behind the scenes;
was just realizing that they were plan
ming to effect = lightning change of cos
tune when the actress herself bounced
in. She was warm from her exertion on
the stage, but not bit Hurried. She
did not lose a single moment, though
she chatted glibly with me all the while.
First she picked up the gloves and be-
gan to put them on. At the same time
the maid unlocked her dress from top
to bottom with quick, def fingers, and
stripped off the whole garment in a
twinkling. The pretty creature stood
before me in her white clothes, laughing
at my expression of surprise at the rap
id disrobement. She seated herself, and
extended her feet for the maid to take
off her shoes and stockings. The latter,
being stripped down over the feet in q
iiffy, did not disclose the naked flesh,
but deliberately clocked silk hose, so that
the fresh pair were already on. BY the
time the slippers were on, the actress
had got the last button of her glove in
its buttonhole.
A minute and half had elapsed.
Both had not only worked with great
rapidity, but without any false motions
or vexation of any sort Then the maid
took off several puffs and bow from
her mistress's head-her hair in the last
act having been simply dressed-and
put on the more elaborate blonde wig,
fastening it in place with hair pins, and
setting lock here and there into place.
Next the actress stood up, and the maid
swiftly put her into the dress that had
lain on the chair. Every part of it fell
admirably into place, the drapery across
the front hiding the junction, and plent-
iful hooks and eyes holding altogether.
Standing before a full length mirror
she finally surveyed herself critically, at
just three minutes and half from the
start, and then she was ready to 60 on
the stage.
There is hint in this for women who
are not actresses. We spend vast
amount of time in adjusting the access
series of toilet, only to take them apart
when we doff the dress. Most of them
might as well be fastened permanently
where they belong.

The Pacific mill strikers in Fall River,
Massachusetts,, held a meeting on Satur-
day night and resolved not to return to
work on Monday morning, when tho mills
arc announced to "start up" Of about
500 ballots cast at the meeting, only two
were for resumption of work. The mule
spnners are determined not to resume at
the reduced wages, but many believe that
nearly half the weavers will accept the
situation. Of 1900 weayars in Lawrence
only 200 have thus far signitied desire
to organize a weavcrs' union. A telegram
received last night says the managers Of
the lower mill expect to start 1000 looms

opened. but the worsted weavers
recently employed there may 60 to
work in tho lower mill if they choose.
The proposition of the superintendent,
which was rejected at tho meeting
Of the strikers on Saturday night, was to
the effect that if it should be found, after
the return of the strikers, that the prices
offered were too low, the schedule would
Ec revised. Under this schedule. tho mill
authorities say, "tho weavers would aver
age $50 per month, and from Is to 13
cents more per cut than is paid by the
Washington mills on the same goods, and
five cents moro per cut than is paid by any
