plaques, panels, miTOrs and vases
thaJ adorn the mantel, the eye
is arrested by table in the
corner OF the rom, just north
of the mantelpieco, where aprons
are sold, nothing more. But it is not
the aprons that charm the attention,
it is the sight of the three
LITTLE MAIDS FROM SCHOOL
that keeps the spectator Vszing in uu-
disguised admiration. There is no
japanese tomloolery in their COS
tumes-just three lovely, graceful lit
tie rosebuds Of girls, arraysd in neatly
fitting dresses OF white albatross, with
Normandy caps, under which three
pairs of bewitChing black eyes look ro-
guishly out as II conscious OF their
magnetism. There. was many an

and these three little maids are re-
sponsible for IL. Their names are
Misses Jennie Fontaine, Susie Seward
and Fannie Falls. But we must pass

a very modest little corner, and s

there. Misses Madgo Doyle and Fan

treasures OF sweetness, aud did q land
Office business last night, a result due
as much 10 the skill OF the salesladies
az the merits OF their wares.

filled with an immense variety VI
toothsome things, including the Tarest
OF veget ables in tempting array, and
viands that might turn the head Of al
