WHAT IS NEEDED.


Then we should cling with desperation to
fashion of two or three years ago reintro-
duced this season-the wearing of leather
and velvet bags, more or less enriched by
silver ornamentation, suspended from the
waist. These will hold as much as two
pockets and should never again be relegated
to closet shelves or packing trunks, but
should become as much matter of course
part of feminine attire as hat or a pair of
shoes. Nor need they always remain in one
form. There is just as much possibility Of
variation in the shape and style OF bags as in
the aforesaid bonnets and shoes.
Let us suppose woman has such con-
veniences and starts down town with the
above mentioned packages She will put
pocketbook, letters and bundle into the bag,
thus stuffing it out so full that it becomes
quite as ugly as the bulging of pocket in g
mans coat This is because she Is not used
to pockets enough and has not learned how
to utilize them
She should start, having her dress short
enough to need no attention, her handker
chief and pocketbook in the dress pocket
her bundle and letters in her bag, and hei
small change in little packet in her waist
coat or jacket. Then she has nothing in hel
hand but parasol and book, and certainly sh'
can manage these without swkwardness o.
mishap.
Still she is pretty sure to leave the book Oh

lost in recovering it, all which could b

PLEA FOR THE POCKET.
A MATTER IN WHICH THE UNFAIR
SEX HAVE THE ADVANTAGE.

A Crying Need Of All women-The Handi-
cap Under Which They Run the Race
Of Life-A Problem for Dress Re-
formers.
In all the talk about dress reform no one
seems to make plea for pockets Nothing
is more needed for feminine convenience,
not to say comfort. than an innovation in
this direction. In fact, so vexed q question
is this one of pockets-or, rather, where to
put pockets-that many women have been
forced during the late tying hack of skirts to
do without them altogether. Now, If this
dress reform is going to take the hold upon
popular opinion that it threatens we should
consider the possibility Of convenient as well
as comfortable dress.
What can be more laughable than to see a
charming, well dressed and generally grace
full woman walking along laden with her
pocketbook and package Of letters and a
small bundle in one hand, an umbrella and a
book In the other, which also is clutching
frantically with aching fingers at the back
OF her skirts. Suppose she wishes to raise
her umbrella, what is she to do with the con-
tents of either hand while she uses the otherl
Generally she stops, drops her skirt, siipa
pocketbook, bundle and book under the left
| arm, letters so into the book or just as often
into the mouth, and the great feat of raising
an umbrella being thus with difficulty accom-
| plished, the procession moves on-for there is
usually a friend or two with her when milady
| thus stops the way. Could anything be more

What does man do under like circum-
stances, In the first place his pocketbook
lies snugly ensconced in a pocket in his trous-
ers, either on the side or in the back where
the loose skirts Of his coat conceal it wholly
from view, where he can reach it in q mo
ment when occasion requires. 1t would
amuse him beyond telling to have it sug-
gested that he should walk down the street
with his pocketbook in his hand; moreover
his need for it is not ever recurring, for he
has another little pocket right in the outside
of his coat, where small change is handy,
and anything as ungainly as fifty cent pieces
and cartwheels are dropped into trousers

and the book, if it is small enough for wo
man to carry, viii also be small enough to

he has no skirts to carry, he swings along

The Value of an Arm.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Judge John r.
Brady's decision Just rendered in the SUI
prcme court at the general term, in which
he wrote the opinion, has announced what
must be taken, unless the court OF appeals
entertalns a different view, as the judicial
value of a right arm. The opinion given
is in the suit of Fred Hickinbottom
against the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Railroad company. 1t is a story
of the reckless starting of a train before
passengers are fairly aboard. In Hick-
lnbottOm's case slippery steps caused him
t. lose his foOthold. and he tell back I'M
der the car, the result being an injury to
the right arm which necessitated amputa,
ton.
He brought suit in the supreme court
against the railroad company. The Jury
awarded him S25, 900 damages. An appeal
was taken to the general term, the claim
being that the verdict was contrary to the
evidence and excessive.
"a verdict should only be disturbed -
says Judge Brady, where it e%vinces pas
sion, prejudice, clear mistake or corrup-
ton, or shocks the common Judgment of
mankind. A new trial should not be
granted On the ground that the yer,
dict is against the weight of evidence, or
merely because the court may come to a
conclusion differing from the verdict, I'M
less the finding is without evidence, or so
decided against the weight of evidence as
to indicate Partially, corruption or gross
Ignorance. As to the allegation that
the amount of damages is excessive,
Judge Brady in his opinion says the loss
of a right arm is no trifing matter, taken
in connection with the extraordinary utiliz-
ing functions of this dexter member of
the Judge in his peculiarly apt and for
midable way of putting it, "has coupled
a marvellous mechanical skill, not to be
supplied approximately by any substitute,
with that member of the body, in its
varied uses and powers"
There arc other elements that enter into
the compensation for the destruction of
this arm than the pain, suffering and loss
of power to earn money. Great depriva-
ton follows of capacity to do many things
essential to the common efforts of life
preparing food. eating, dressing, lifting
and carrying. These various uses of the
arm, the power of assistance to family, to
self, and for pleasure and its necessity as
a means of defense, the inexpressible sense
of the want of a member, and of deform-
ity and the consciousness of a crippled
condition, all these form part of the suf.
fering. These are the consequences of the
injuries inflicted, and if the test were what
any human being in full health would take
for an arm, the sun named would be con
sidered absurd. The Judgment Of the
lower court awarding $25 900 damages is
affirmed
