A New ghglish Fashion That Wi
Sacrifice the Clerks Boards.


.Yes. have heard about IL, and all
the streis talking about il" said Rufus
Hatcbloh reporter who called on him
ut hisofics, No. 55 Broadway, yester-
.nd they have seriously issued
ord4 in the London banks for the
ciss to shave their faces clean 7"
Yes; the order prohibits the wearing
ojeards or mustaches during the busi-
u hours"
"At other times they may wear them,
men? But how are they going to get
them on after business hours 2" asked
the reporter.
There's only one way. Use glue,
said the oheery financier.
do you think such rule will be
put in force here?"
'0f course it will. It's English, and
English fashions go here now. It will
make racket among the bank clerks
and In the brokers' offices" he said, with
o hearty laugh.
why, do they value their boards so
highly, these clerks ?"
"You see, boards cover cheek and
brass, said Rufus. "You can't tell It
from sterling coin with hirsute veil
before II. The presidents are determined
to study the play of feature in banks
hereafter to learn If the clerks are up to
the same racket they are o."
"And boards are masks of facial ex-
preston :"
"Of course. There's no sentiment in
hair"
Except love. The clerks mash with
their mustaches."
"Well, that don't pay. Besides it's
dangerous for bank to have pretty
clerk. Many mustache has ruined a
bank or broker. 1t attracts too many
ladies'"
''But isn't the attraction Of ladies to
the mart bringing in an element Of re-
fnementi'
ssNot much II isn't, young man. That
theory won't work on the street. It's
bringing in the very devil himself and
emptying the Golfers into the street
That's what it IL. That's what a mus
tache can do and has done"
"Then you think the movement il
part Of an artful plan to eliminate the
element Of beauty from the banks and
the street I"
"Yes, that's part of IT,"
"And do you think 1t were better Il
all the clerks were barefaced 7"
ut will make them hideous and drive
all the women away, yes"
The reporter called and sounded the
clerks Of the Park, Nassau and otheI
banks, and they all declared they would
resign before they would obey an order
to shave. The clerks on Wall and Broad
sifeets were much excited about it.

CATERING FOR WomEH.
New Wrinkles Adopted by Shrewd
Landlords of swell Hotels.

The hotel keeper of to-day is artfHl. He
caters TO woman for his popularity, and
wherein twenty years ago her comfort
wss secondary consideration, to-day it
is studiously consulted end placed fore
most. Why! Because women travel
both alone and with their husbands
much more than they did formerly, and,
quick to receive any Difference to their
. own tsstes and convenience, they insist
upon going to the same hotel until they
become familiar habitues. 1t is amusing
70 note the different lodges employed by
the managers Of the great city caravan
saries.
At the most exclusive hotels in Boston
II takes the shape Of beautiful flowers in
Vases and Jars scattered about the room,
and in the latest numbers of Harper's,
The Century and Atlantic Monthly ready
to the hand. At New York hotel,
facing on Madison square, at lunch,
when dessert Is brought on. a plate of
choice confectionery is put before you,
and while making use OF finger bowl
the dsft-handed waiter whips out sheet
Of fresh white paper. twists it with
turn Of his hand into cornucopia,
empties the bonbons into it. and pre-
sents II with an Oriental obeisance for
upstairs consumption. There is really
clsverness in this, for it has put a stop
without vulgar remonstrance to the
practice OF women carting off to their
rooms plates loaded with fruit, cakes
and candies to nibble at between meals.
At another hotel on Madison square,
when lady ia seated in the dining room,
the waiter has ready for her feet dainty
tapestry covered hassook. No one but
. short woman, who has spent o portion
Of her life in sitting on the edges of
chairs, dangling her feet In the air, can
fully appreciate this comfort. At this
hotel rose or few violsts are always
found floating in the water Of the finger
bowl and lend II pleasant fragrance.
The proprietor of hotel on Union
square hiss availed himself of the sug-
gsstions Of his lady guests in improving
the table sppurtenances. For example,
instead Of the cruets Of black or white
pepper, generally 20 adulterated that q
deluge e required to favor the food, is
substituted tiny and pretty silver mill
filed with the whole pepper corns. Two
or three turns Of the handle and you
realize the delightfulness Of pepper in
reality.
In place Of the customary ''salts," as
they are called. a small bisque cupid has
. spring In his back, which, If you
press, causes fine sprays Of salt to fling
from the points Of his cunning arrow.
The fruit at dessert is put ON in the
French fashion, dressed with flowers
and leaves, q few sufficing. and the effect
is most pleasing, as at this season there
10 monumental stiffness about a stack
Of oranges, apples and bananas. s.--Cin-

Polygamous Indians.

Another custom here and among the
osages, Of which no mention is ever
made, is that of polygamous marriage.
The Usage and kaw tribal law is that
tho man who first marries daughter in
family acquires thereby the right TO take
all the other daughters as his wives
whenever he pleases. The sisters of his
wife can marry no one else without
bis consent. This consent is rarely given
aud never except by handsome purc chase.
AS matter of fact Usage and kaw msn
often have several sisters for their wives
ut one time. The women are seryants-
slaves.and the man who can first marry
INTO a family of several girls is considered
very fortunate, for he can take them All
Tor wives and servants and work very
little himself. So far as the writer knows
fhe United States Government has never
attempted to break up this abominable
custom. but has knowingly permitted il
to ~ on for several generations.- Corr
