and high as comfort will permit. There
are no marked changes in the style of
sleeves. They are set smoothly in the arm
holes. no more fullness being allowed in
armhOles than is necessary for ease, and to
avoid the pinched appearance that is as
painful to the artistic beholder as to the
suffering victim. Black rosary beads are
extensively used in mourning for millinery,

satisfactory effect. For wraps there are

goods. There are various boucle and
Astrakhan fabrics, and some fine armures
with brocade figures in basket weave and
cross-sttch effects; also some wool mate

The new snowflake corduroys, or cOrdes

worn with the suit, and it isn't difficult to
find felt, jersey covered, or plain cloth
bonnet or hat to match, but would advise
no easly-damaged trimming to the same. as
the suit is essentially for damp or wet
weather wear.
WHEN CAUGHT SIGHT
of the smooth and comfortable-looking old
masher that | have already written about,
yesterday morning, he was vending his way
slowly toward a famous restaurant, evil
IDENTIFY going to his breakfast. He was on
the east side of Broadway, just crossing
Twenty-ninth street, and ne was picture
of a fashionable man, from the tips OF his
vanished, welI-pointed boots to the crown
of hat that shone like a mirror in the sun.
At the first glance l saw that the simple old
rascal was on the chase. He did not walk
with the complacent air which usually dis
tinguishes a man of leisure, but was stroll
ing very slowly indeed with his head
thrown trifle further back than usual. and
his hands clasped behind his back. He con-
tinued thus for half block, and then | OBJ
served that young girl, who was perhaps
twenty feet in front of him, looked in
half-frightened way over her shoulder, and
then turned abruptly toward picture store
and pretended to be looking very earnestly
in the window. She was SWeet-lO0king
child, not more than IA years of age, with
delicate face and big, half-scared and
restless eyes. She was one of those tall
and half-developed young girls one occa-
Sionally sees, and she was evidently quite
shocked at finding herself alone on Broad
way, even at the comparatively safe hour
of IL o'clock i'll the morning. There was
that about her attire and appearance which
indicated that she was the daughter of a re-
fined household. AS she stood by the win
dow with her two little hands clasped be-
fore her the elderly masher stepped delib-
erately up to her side and looked down
into her face with pleasant and friendly
little smile. She felt his arm touch hers,
glanced upward, blushed and shrank in
stinctively away, while he moved step
toward her. The first instinct of the spec
tator was to smash the white-haired old re-
probate in the face, but before any scheme
of that sort could be put into execution the
The masher quickened his stride and came
face to face with her again. Nothing could
have exceeded the calm and gentle
FRIENDLINESS
of his glance, but half dozen men were
now looking on, and the gray-haired old
rounder was too circumSpect to make any
trouble. He walked on downward, be-
hind the girl, and she at last, seeing that he
was so persistent, turned into glove store
and disappeared among the statesmen and
customers. determined to see the thing
out and waited. So did the old rounder.
There was cab On the opposite side of the
street, and he stepped over to it, handed
the driver a tip, sat comfortably inside,
pulled the shade down, but kept a good
view of the entrance to the glove store. A
few minutes later the girl looked out of the
shop door, and then, with a look of great
relief, skipped hurriedly across Broadway
and met the old masher as he stepped
calmly from the door Of the cab. She
stopped, flushed, and started on again, with
the man close at her heels. But she was
going very fast now, and it was difficult to
catch up with her without attracting atten-
ton. Then the girl got to the corner of
Twenty-sixth street, and started as hard as
she could run toward Fifth avenue. He
would have followed her even then, but
that some one advised him not to. He lis
tened to an angry threat with entire COM
posure, smiled, shrugged his shoulders and
stepped into Delmonico's for breakfast
