The Pleasure of Cuttins.

Mrs. Society (reading)-Clique teas
are the latest The hostess gets some
friend to make out list of invitations,
to include only such persons as the
friend cares to meet. This list the
hostess uses without emendation, and
the guests, while knowing that the
hostess did not make the selection, are
not allowed to learn who did. I'm
usually pleasant gatherings of people of
similar tastes are the result Isn't that
q good idea?
Mr.. Society Yes; they might be
called 'birds-of-a-feather sociables.

One on the Proprietor.

Your reference to the bantering style
OF doing business calls up many funny
"reminiscences" said an old merchant to
Utica Observer man. Il must tell
you of one occurrence that took place
in neighboring country store. The
proprietor was noted for being particu-
larly atfable and obliging to his custom
ers, and he had a clear-headed and
smart young man for clerk. One day
one of the best customers of the con
Germ called to buy dress pattern. The
price was rs cents, and after long
talk the clerk closed the bargain at 70
cents. While the clerk was selecting
trimmings, ETC., in the other part of the
store the genial proprietor came along
rubbing his hands, inquiring after the
family Of the customer, praised her
taste in selecting that particular piece
OF goods, and as a special favor to a
good customer let her have it for 6S
cents per yard.
"The clerk returned and the lady
told of the reduction the proprietor had
made. The clerk was furious, but not
in the least disconnected. He saw that
If the customers thought that he was
selling higher than others in the store
they would avoid him and his discharge
would follow. SO he says:
just looked at the bill and can
sell you that piece at G5 cents yard.
When the deal was completed the
proprietor was as angry as the clerk.
DO you know .hat L made the price
68 cents?' said the proprietor.
Yes, said the clerk, but I want
you to understand that no man can un-
dersell me in this store
He kept his job"

The Latest Thing Abroad.

The latest thing in fashions for men
in England is known as tho American
shoulder. 1t consists of a coat padded
at the shoulders in manner quite
unique. Pieces of lead of quite an i'm
posing size are employed in the process,
and when the dude is properly fixed
up" he appears with sort Of epaulet
arrangement, calculated to transtix the
gaze of the less enlightened observer
The American shoulder" is only inst
coming into vogue, but it was decidedly
conspicuous in Piccadilly, London, last
Sunday afternoon. A London tailor
says that he is putting twelve ounces of
lead into some of his padding"

The State Library Commission held a
meeting at the State House yesterday to
consider the advisability of purchasing
the picture of Mollie Pitcher. This
picture Is owned by Joseph T. Crowell,
of Railway, who purchased it for IS, 900.
He desired to sell it to the State for 49,

joint resolution authorizing the Library
Commission to picture if they thought
best.
The Commission yesterday considered
the matter and viewed the picture, which
is in the Speakers room. They declined
to accept Mr.. Crowell's proposition.
The State Librarian was elected secre-
