old and needed sympathy, as his wife and
child were in the far east. She filed him
with bright hopes Of fortune and restored
health on the Pacific coast, and he was fas-
cinated by the picture.
The next scene shows "Dr" Inman
running an "electro-therapeutic vapor
bath" establishment at 667 Mission street,
San Francisco, and Mr.. BENJAMIN as her
resident patient. She told two or three OF
her intimate friends that she intended to
"cure him up and marry him as soon as
he got a divorce from his present wife. &"
But discovery was made-two discoveries,
in fact. He discovered that the vapor
baths were fast destroying what little
strength he had left, and she that he was
not so rich as she had supposed. She
drove him from the house, and he went to
see lawyer.
To him Mr.. Benjamin made the humili-
ating confession that he had given DR.
Maude every dollar OF his cash. and decided
to her his real estate. the scheme being
that the two were TO establish a health
home and invalids' retreat on her estate
near San Rafael" The lawyer set the de
tectives 10 work, and not an hour too soon,
for Or" Inman and her accomplish Viola
Belts, were arrested just az they were
making ready 10 leave the city. Part Of
the money had gone 70 furnish lodging
house managed by the woman, part they
had squandered aud a remnant was recov-
cred.
The net result Of the trial Is that poor
old Benjamin RECEIVERS the title 70 bis real
estate and few. very few, dollars in
money. the women 90 into retirement for a
while as guests Of the tate. and the public
has another satiFical laugh at the ways Of
an old man in the wiles Of woman.

when women cease to be women the
millennium will be right upon us and
no one prepared for it.
The tailor made gowns are more fash
ionable than ever, even quite young chill
dren wearing them; that is, girls of 10
and IA. They are made of homespun in
pepper-and-salt mixture with fecked
and snowflake surface. There is an
other fabric much liked for children and
young ladies called Herrison broche,
which is really a brocaded stripe. Chew
lots are worn in every conceivable vari-
Bty, the shepherd and fine checks being
favorites for the young. Tweeds are
the favorite materials for the tailor made
suits in different weights. But the clan
plaids are more liked than any Of the

There is one rough material known as
drap st. Petersburg, coarse and harsh
but warm and thick, and in several de-
signs, mostly large, indefinite coarse de-
signs, with one spot in each plaid that
looks as if darned in contrasting colors.
This makes undeniably stylish costumes,
and requires next TO no trimming.
Mourning goods vary little, the silk
warp Henrietta being de rigueur for first
mourning, with Grape bands. A widows
gown is made princesse, buttoning mp
the whole front, with bands down the
front and around the bottom of the

the back. The sleeves are covered with

A DECEMBER EXCURSION.

w. B. Hall x Go, in response to num- erous appeals, have answered favorably, and on December 11th will send over the Housatonic road to Bridgeport one more of their excursions This will be good news to & large number of ladies who, combining business with pleasure, deem the ride to and from the city, which they can receive gratis, worth In the store of Hall X Go now they can purchase at prices prevailing through November about what they need for Christmas and New Years, although the Christmas display has not really begun. There Is never anything old in this store, for chance for age on goods to accumulate does not occur, as stock is always moving. Only adverse incidents of season make an accumulation of what is currently spoken of as 'leave over goods," but even these are not al- lowed to tarry long, as the Red Ticket blight strikes them right and left, and away they go for about what the shop per feels is fair price, their places be- ing taken by new goods in fact as we'll as name.
 Those who visit the store through the medium of the excursion train will be able to see how vast the preliminary holiday lay out is, and the chances to do well at low figures on silks, dress goods, ready made garments for ladies, and books which the firm present. The show on ribbons alone will repay visit A ramble through the store will con- vince the most incredulous that the cry of high rates resulting from tariff aglta- tion has as yet, at least, little warrant for being made very loud. Firm rates with downward tendency are the rule, rather than otherwise. and the Christ mas rush will not cause them to tend in the opposite. direction. .-Adc. TT,
