THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
is big thing in the air, but its manage
ment isn't perfect yet bya considerable
majority. A rosy future in the way of
facilities, however, is promised by the
benevolent board of trustees. The
recent public agitation caused by the
arrest of reputable merchant, who
insisted on standing upon car plat
form to smoke his cigar, is still fresh
in remembrance. He got into trouble
because the management provided no
proper place for the enjoyment OF his
after-breakfast cigar, and because he
didn't propose to have any body OF lay
men make sumptuary laws for him. The
airing the case received in court was
not agreeable, and the board of trustees,
which includes the mayors of the two
cities. lpromiSed that after the 1st
of April smoking ears will be furnished.
These will probably not be run all day,
but during certain hours of the morning
and evening. The innovation will be an
excellent one. To majority of the toll

during the working day. and their only
hope and solace is to enjoy the weed be-
tween home and office. Now, a half
burned cigar, unlighted, is infinitely
more offensive to lady than one in full
blaze, and besides itruins decent cigar
TO eXtinguiSh the fire temporarily. BY
the new arrangement the ladies will be
pleased, the men delighted. and an out
rage Oh good tobacco obviated.

HERE ARE TWO GIRLS
Of a type seen numerously this spring
in New York. They are bOrdered with
unsullied white fur; they are stylish in
their way, and they are yelled for
March-the month in which raw winds
spoil compilations. So this is a month
OF wells. Observe the wraps, too. They
are the latest. For less rakish girls
smart little tight-ftting coats are to be
much affected by young ladies this
spring, and those of thin white cloth
will be in the best style. These will be
