ponu,ar,tv q, N, shop Window.

"Men as well Us women said the brightly
obser yant Miss Entres Nous to me, cast sly
glances in passing at its mats and its tour
nures in the plate glass shop windows.
Granted that the female heart is full of de-
ceit and given to all manner of wickedness-
granted even that the female brain has al
ways had a fair show, but let no unbcliever
in the equality of the sexes ever credit
woman with more personal vanity than man.
On this point there is, to say the least, per-
feet equality. In fact, know it. Happen
ing to be obliged to wait for the horse
car, that, like the letter, never
came, l suddenly became aware that
a store window opposite was source
of frequent obser -ation. 1t was a
beautiful show, truly, and the hues of artis-
tically grouped flower, were joy to behold,
but presently, to nv great amazement, the
secret of this passing interest was divulged.
A young woman on the same side of the way
as myself was faithfully reflected in the
glass. Until she gave that thoroughly femi-
nine shake to her draperies and looked over
her shoulder at the fit of her dress improver
had not thought of the window in its ca
pacity of mirror to the public. For five
minutes or more or less she turned and
twisted now waiting for cars and carriages
to get out of her range of vision, and then
slowly pacing back and forth. while /
watched her performance in the broad win
dow. Having satisfied herself, she finally
walked away, leaving me to remark, How
like woman! Not a bit of it! Presently
man well known to fame came round
the corner and turned down the street. Sud-
denly he halted, glanced over at the window,
settled his coat collar, pulled his coat down
in the back, shook his leg. that may have
been asleep, for aught any one could tell,
gave fresh tilt to his plug hat, and then,
having admired himself sufficiently, he, too,
went his way. Since this experience l have
noted that both sexes, mind you, when they
have good opportunity to see themselves as
others see them in shop window, improve
it. The window above mentioned is, l find,
exceedingly popular. l have looked in it

Kate Fields "co-operstive. Plan.

Kate Field is known to be a woman of
versatile talent, but is hardly suspected,
by those not intimately acquainted with
her, to have the qualities that go 10 make
a good housekeepersA She showed great
tact for that feminine branch of art when
she had a house of her own IN Devonshire
street, London, few years ago. She had
been living for some time in hotels, board
ing houses and lodgings, was tired Of all
and determined TO set up for herself
Having no desire TO live alone, she made
a plan by which she would have company
and all the comforts of home, and still
have the bills shared by others. She
called the plan cooperation, the same
name she gave TO another and more ex-
tensive undertaking on this side of the
water.
1t worked well as far as the cooper
atives were coneerned-they were all per-
fectly satisfied She furnished rooms at
low prices and the kind OF food that is
longed for il you live at a restaurant and
dreamed about II you have to live at
home. After dinner every one found the
drawing room plessanter than any other
room in that or any other house, and
there the friends congregsted, for, Of
course, they were all friends of the host
ess. They chatted and played cards until
the might cap" hour came round, and
after mild libation retired to bed *.
F." as she was fsmiliarly called, made a
success of what she undertook except as
far as she was concerned. Cooperation"
turned out TO be only u name, for it was
she who did all the work, battled with
drunken cooks, fought ;he troublesome
trades people. and received only in return
unshared il welcome praise. 1t is not to
be wondered at if at the end of three
months the project was given up.-New

A Fire worshIper'. Child.

On the birth of a Parsee child, a magian
and fire priest, who is always an as
trologer, are called in to predict the fu-
ture life of the babe. The magian,
dressed in a strange robe of many colors,
pointed cap with jingling bells, and
armed with "a long broom made of be-
resma twigs (which is thought to have
the power of putting evil spirits TO flight,
enters the chamber Of the Parsee mother
and babe and, setting the end Of his broom
on fire, dances around, exercising the evil
spirits; finally he fiourishes his firebrand
over the mother and child and in all the
corners of the room. This done, the fire
priest draws a number of squares on .
black board; in one corner of each square
he draws a curious figure of bird, beast,
fish or insect, each of which stands for
some mental, physical or spiritual char
acteristic, together with its appropriate
star or planet. The magian then proceeds
by means of spells and incantations 70 ex-
orcise any evil spirit that may be lurking
unseen in the blackboard. Next the fire
priest begins to count and recount the
stars under whose influence the child is
supposed 10 he born, and then with closed
eyes and solemn voice he predicts the fu-
ture life OF the babe. Next he prepares
horoscope or birth paper and hands it to
the father. Then, placing the babe on his
knees, he waves over it the sacred fame,
spriukles it with holy water, fills its ears
and nostrils with sea salt to keep out the
evil spirits, and finally returns the
screaming infant to its mothers arms

EASTER CONCERT.
One of the Most Acceptable Attractions
of the Season at North Street Church
Last Night.

One of the Most Acceptable Attractions
of the Season at North Street Church
Last Night.
A very large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the ladies' sewing circle in the Sum
day school room of the North Street church
last night. The concert was pronounced
by many who witnessed it as being de-
cided improvement over many of the pre-
vious entertainments. The programme was
well selected and admirably rendered. The
dialogues were very entertaining. The
duet sang by little Misses Maudie Wells
and Susie Smith was good, also the solo by
little Mabel Jackson. Miss Viola Gregory
recited The Old Liberty BelI' in excellent
style. Miss Rhicoda Reynolds was en-
cored on her solo, ''Piggie Back Ride.n
But the ''hit" of the evening was the
duet when Life's Golden Turns Gray"
by Misses Allie Bass and Rhicorda Rey-
holds. The soprano by Miss Bass was clear
and sweet, while the to by Miss Reynolds
was less excellent. Mrs. Anna Belle Rob-
inson also sang one of her choice selec-
tions with the ease and grace for which she
is admired. The closing scene was very
pretty tableau, Fairy Queen" the beauty
Of which was enhanced by the burning Of
the calcium light
The sewing circle had on exhibition some
very nice specimens of needle work for
sale. The entertainment was also success
financially.

French Opera.
At the Grand tonight that superb organ
ization, Duncan Ciark's Female minstrels.
will give one of their breezy, bright and
delightful performances. A big house is
indicated.
FRENCH GRAND OPERA COMPANY.
This mornings Columbus Journal says
of the attraction:
The French Opera Company made their
debut in Columbus last evening before a
large audience. The opera, lies HUI
guenots," is musically one of the most in
tensely interesting of all the great works,
and the company presenting it was as CON-
plete as any now travelling in this country.
The French company is distinctively one of
artists. 1t may be said without fear of the
charge of extravaganza that there mas
never been seen in Columbus a combina-
tion of such artists in any musical work.
Everyone of the principals, seven in all,
was magnificent in the respective roles.
The orchestra consisted of thirty musicians,
every instrument of grand orchestral ar
rangements being well represented. The
rare effects of the unusual reed instru-
ments were especially enjoyed, and the
work of the whole organization was more
than satisfactory. NJ. Mauge conducted
with yigor.

What one Of Spring fields Young Men is
Doing In the West.
The following from the Salt Lake Times
will be of interest to Mr.. Frey's friends at
home:
Some months ago Frederick ]. Hilton
of Duluth, Mimi. and Albert G. Frey, of
Springfield, Ohio, came to Salt Lake and
began thorough Investigation of the pos
sibilities and certainties of the city as o
point offering inducements for the invest
ment of capital. After patient research
they became convinced of the merit of the
city and decided to locate and bring the
large amount of capital at their command
for investment in city and suburban prop
erty. The fine large building known as
the Palace, on east Second South street, was
leased for term of years and fitted up
specially for their use, ii is the best fur
nished and most c0mmOdiOus Office in the
west.
Messrs. Hilton & Frey at once began
buying property, and although having a
large amount on hand, they are still buying
all the desirable property they can to fill
orders from eastern parties who, knowing
Messrs. Hilton Il Frey. are willing to de-
pend on the firms judgment in investing
their money. The firm have several syn
dicates now forming who will greatly add
t. the wealth of the city, as well as being
in active correspondence with many manu-
featuring firms who desire to establish
branches of their works here.
Messrs. Hilton & Frey have corps of
intelligent men investigating properties,
so that any property offered by them
is known to be clear in title and ready
for delivery, thereby avoiding vexatious
delays. Both gentlemen come highly
recommended by banks and business men
Of their former homes and show by their
methods that they are practical, far-seeing
business men. giving their patrons all
knowledge of everything relative to Salt
Lake, and using every means to aid visi-
tors in securing good locations at lowest
figures. The firm also give estimates for
manufacturing plants and aid in securing
loans and bonuses. Their list of city,
suburban and country proper is already
large and is being constantly increased
Large investors will find Messrs. Hilton &
Frey fully competent to furnish anything
