Now Xnrk Notes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-It is not only Wall
street that suffers from a lack Of ready
money nowadays. The legal medium Of
circulation is uncOmfortably scarce among
all classes of people. Tradesmen are heard
frequently to speak of the inconcruity of
man rated as a millionaire declaring him
self unable to pay boot, tailor or haber-
dashery bill. 1t is fact that a man may
have assets amounting to hundreds Of
thousands of dollars, and actually be hard
pushed TO pay his club dues The other
day two richly dressed women drove in
private carriage to a large store on Twenty
third street where they were not known,
and between them were barely able TO pro-
duce fifty cents, the deposit required on
some goods they wished kept for them.
T>e evolution of the umbrella is in the
direction of great beauty, serviceability and
ccstliness, and consequently irmer grasp
on the affections of its 0wner. The com
binatiOn of rare wood, finely tempered
steel and extra fine silk that one sees now
adays in the hand of the fashionable mas
culine stroller on Broadway or Fifth ave
nue. Is a triumph of mechanical and artistic
skill, and is the object of the utmost solicit
tude to its possessor whenever ii Is out Of
his sight. At the hotel or club one may
have his umbrella checked, and while he
dimes at a restaurant he can keep one eye
on it, but in the barber shop-aye, there's
the rub. One cannot yield himself 10 the
mercies Of a keen edged razor in the hands
of an epnuied barber and keep an eye on
his umbrella at one and the same time-at
least one who values his life. So IL had
come TO pass that barber shops were re-
garded with extreme suspicion by gentle
men carrying valuable umbrellas. But
recently the situation has changed, owing
20 the ingenuity, probably, of some one
who had lost a valuable umbrella IN
barber shop. The moro deliberately
appointed tonsorial establishments are
quite up with the age which has pro-
duced the $24 parachute" You enter for
a shave, and a mild hammered youth ten
derby sei1es the object Of your anxiety. re-
verses II, places the handle end in flower
pot arrangement, from the center Of which
energies TO height a little less than the
length Of the average umbrella an iron
rod, terminating in an iron disk with a
row of slots in it's circumference. Into one
of these slots the lower end Of your UNI
brella is placed, a hinged metal piece
closes the slot with reasSuring click, YOU
receive a small fat KEY from the mild man
nered youth and proceed with your shaw
ing at peace with all the world. And when,
upon leaving the shop, you take the small
fist KEY from your pocket you very will
ingly take with il a silver quarter, which
the mild hammered youth accepts as a
matter OF course and gets ready for the
next customer.

women, you know, who have fashion of
| looking at their husbands in that way, and
| good many of them, too, more's the luck
in one way two romances came out of
| it, went on Jack, putting furiously to get
| his cigar going; ''for although Katie and
| l never fell in love with each other any
more than brother and sister do, mar
ried her sister and she married my cousin,
| and don't suppose any of us would ever
| have met had it not been that l went
skating that December morning.
! 81 was in Ithaca one winter, and on the
Sd of December of that year | made up my
mind I'd have a good days skating on
Cayugs lake The sport was one l was
very fond of then, although I've never
cared for it since. Business had taken me
to place some ten miles down the lake,
and | made up my mind to skate back
The ice on the lake was literally perfect
An intensely sharp and very sudden frost
had fairly nipped the water, and the sur
face was not only glare but the ice was
that blue black kind on which the cut of
the skate steel shows up like streak of
white paint. In the middle of the lake,
however was broad eXpanse of open wa
ter. The day was good, too, although it
was somewhat cloudy and dull looking.
However, as there was no wind, it was the
sort of weather when, if your skates are
tight and sharp and you have on a COM
Portable roundabout for coat, you can
just naturally chew up miles in your long,
easy swing. Talk about motion, l don't
know any motion so like what | should
think that of flying must be as the swing
and rush of a fellow on skates when the
ice is good.
''The shore of the lake curves in at one
place, and / skated straight ahead to save
time This took me some distance away
from the land. 1t must have been about
1:3O-I started at l0-when it struck me
the weather was looking somewhat threat
eniDg. The wind sprang up, not very
strong, you know, but it mOaned in a dis
NAL, melancholy sort Of way as the winter
wind will, and | reckoned it wouldn't be
bad idea to make for the land. l was just
about swinging around when L caught
sight of girl farther out than l was my
self, skating out on the lake. 1t was some
time before | could get close enough to
make her hear me, even with the wind
blowing toward her.
we were then about mile, perhaps
more, from shore. Beyond US, in the cen
ter of the lake, the water was open, and the
waves began to be felt in slight heaves I'M
der the ice on which we were. Still think
we should have made it safely had it not
been that the sky darkened up rapidly and
it began TO snow by the time reached her.
The fakes were as fine as corn meal, and
to see through such fall as that is like
looking through fog, so it wasn't many
minutes before all outline of the shore
faded away and we were left in the midst /
of a great whitenes5, with the raoidly |
