it were an advertisement for some polishing
stove stuff The storm coats should be of white
rubber, and in winter time, when the fur capes
are worn, they should be Of black bearskn. On
hansom-that is, private one-the driver
does not wear a livery at all, and this is done to
distinguish him from the ordinary hanson
driver, who always wears livery, Instead he
wears box coat, his collar and scarf is immacu-
late, and his high hat has marvellous polish,
while his gloves are the dark tan ones such as
gentleman would wear if he were driving. In
time New York will learn the ethics in carriages,
and then we may hope to see as fine a showing
as is made in Paris or London. With all its
wealth there is not to-day in New York CITY
turnout that either for correctness or for beauty
compared with Mrs. Langtrys, which, by the
by, took the prize at the show two years ago.
THE CHRYsANTHEMuM CRAZE.
Chrysanthemums are growing bigger and big
ger, until they nearly approach the size of sun
flowers, and the young woman who wishes to
be considered specially good form walks down
the avenue in close-ftting cloth gown, cloth
bonnet and huge chrysanthemum fastened
on her bodice. Usually this is white and then
her gloves and card-case match it. Harmony
has taken possession of the soul of the New
York girl, and her efforts at making everything
accord are at once amusing and commendable
When the chrysanthemum goes the orchid will
take its place, and the young man who sends
the flower will groan and moan and wish that
orchids never grew, or, if they did, that the
florists would understand his state of mind and
the condition of his purse and reduce the price
of them.

one of the largest banks here. l was gleefully
showing eight silver quarters and announcing
that had cashed check for two dollars and
gotten it all in this way, when the man to
whom was talking said: ''Do you know thev
always make it a point to be civil to women in
that bank? And can you guess the reason
why" OF course 1 said l couldn't but sup
posed it was because women We're so nice.
Nonsense, y he answered; sits because thev
know that if they are not civil to women
women will induce men to remove large ac-
counts from there to some other bank" Wasn't
that lovely tribute to the influence of woman
A GALLANT NEW YORK CASHIER.
Then remembered afterward that one Sat
urday morning a line of about twenty irate
women were kept waiting while the cashier
told me what certified check was l hadn't
one and didn't want one, but as l saw the name
up thought would like to know what it was.
Ot course, knew it wasn't anything to eat or
drink, but l thought it had something to do
with the marriage ceremony on account of IFS
being certified. [ am not exactly clear about it
yet, though the cashier brought all his brain
power to bear upon me, and 1 smiled my sweet
est and said "How nice," and when l went
home and told the family about it the masculine
part of it called me a delightful idiot, but again
announced that they would like to see anv
cashier in New York take the time to inform
man about anything, There are number of
advantages attached to being woman: for one
