The girl is flower vender, and for two OF
three hours toward night, she stands with
her back against the railing Of the church
ward and basl1etful of flowers at her feet.
She is decidedly pretty, to begin with. She
wears no covering on her head and her
complexion is naturally fine enough to stand
tanning without deterioration. She arranges
her auburn hair deity enough, and vet in
style that does not suggest carefulness to
clumsy male observer. Her dress is cheap
Calico but it fits her as nicely as any silken
gown on an heiress' figure. Her sleeves are
rolled up nearly to her elbows to show her
shapely forearms, and a shawl folded and
crossed over her bosom reveals a segment of
the same complexion.
Thus she makes the neatest sort of a figure.

Are Chiefly Designed for.
ttQuill pensl Yes, large quantities of them
ara made in this city," said William street
maker to reporter. 'The quilts for these
pens are chiefly from the goose and the swan,
hut the ostrich, crow and other birds occa
sionally contribute their quota. The general
Use Of steel pens has greatly lessened the de-
saand for quilts. Most Of the goose quilts
are from the Netherlands and Germany,
while small amount comes from the west
ern states and Canada Some idea of the
number of geese required to keep up the sup
ply may be judged from the fact that each
wing produces about five good quilts, and
that by proper management goose may
afford twenty quilts during the year.
'Quills are classified according to the order
in which they are fixed IN the wings, the sec
ond and third quilts being the best. The
quality of quilts is estimated partly by the
size Of the barrel, but more by the weight.
The quilts as they come from the bird are
covered with a membrane, and are tough
and soft, so that they will not make clean
slit These defects are got rid of and the
quilts prepared for the penmaker by an
operation called quill dressing. A uniform
yellow color is produced by dipping the
barrels in diluted nitric acid. This process
hardens them.
1.-The quilts having been dressed and fin
ished, a portion of the bark is stripped off SO
as to occupy less room in packing, and the
quilts are tied up in bundles of twenty-five
and fifty each for the market The quilts,
having been prepared, are cut into pens by
the pen cutters knife, and are also trimmed.
A pen cutter will cut in day 900 pens.
Crowquill pens arc usually employed in fine
drawing, on account of the fine point to
which they can be brought. They are also
useful in that laborious kind of etching in
