Two fashionaby dressed ladies stood
one bright afternoon last week before "A
milliner's window on State street, gazing
at the pretty articles of headwear dis
played therein. Presently one moved
over to the other side of the window for
a closer look at AN exquisite bonnet, and,
after feasting her eyes for moment on
its beauties, edged back again toward
her companion and graspcd her arm.

stood arm in arm with person whom
she supposed to be her shopping mate,
not once taking her eyes from the dead
birds, bright ribbons and flowers which
adorned the bonnets within the plate
glass. But at last the awakening came.
Imagine her horror when a Chinaman
turned his face toward hers-a huge grin

Twas Thanksgiving Day, and little brown
mouse
Sat busily thinking alone in her house.
The little mouse-babies had gone out to play
With the gray mouse's children just over the
way
And o, how they wanted Thanksgiving
treat!
But there wasn't crumb in the cupboard to
eat.
Mousie sat few minutes, then ran through
the entry
And down the long stairs and into the pantry.
There were pIddings and pies and cake on the
shelf;
The mouse-moihcr thought she would just
help herself.
She took small piece of everything there;
Then fastened the closet and ran up the stair.
She put on the table bread butter and cheese,
Some nice jclly-roll and tart " you please.
The little mouse-babies came home very soon,
Each put ON her bib and took her small spoon.
Then they ate and they nibbled, they nibbled
and ate.
Not crumb did they leave upon saucer or
plate.
And they said as they put spoons and bibs all
Twas the jolliest kind of Thanksgiving Day.

hot iron is never placed on the outside Of

plug is placed on the inside and cold

What is the prevailing style in stih
hats2"
We'll. there is considerable change in
the style since last year. The stiff hat,
or Derby, ~ 1t is popularity called, has
tapering crown of medium height and
brim Of medium width. There are, Of
course. several notifications Of this
style. Derby hats easily take the lead
for general wear, though, of course, they
are not appropriate with dress suit any
more than silk hat is appropriate with
a sack coat There has been vast i'm
provement in the stiff hats in the last
few years. Better machinery Is USED
and the workmcn have became more
skillful. BY the way, good hatmaker
makes handsome income. Hatmakers
work by the piece entirely and we've
got men in our factory who make from
$50 to 800 week. There are not many
professional men who make as much M
that"
How about soft hats?"
They are not worn very much except
when people are travelling Chicago Ia
pretty much like New York in that re-
spect, and Derbys and silks hats are all
the rage OF course, further west and
in the country towns they are worn quite
extensively and we have to manufacture

Not MS good. because the hats there
are made by hydraulic pressure, instead
of being ironed by hand, as in this coun-
try. Then. too, the English hats are
very heavy and uncomfortable on the
head. The English hats are probably
better for Englishmen to wear than
American hats would be on account Of
the dense fogs and heavy rains which
prevail there. For this reason the hats
have to be very heavy and strong, or
