we girls OF Gotham, for we have found an
ornamental way of saving money. Some
genius put a nice little silver bank upon
the market and some other genius manu-
factured ever so many of these dittos in
nickel-plate, so that all the girls could
have them. The rich girls got silver ones;
the girls who were not SO rich contented
themselves with the nickel-plated article.
The former cost about $40 the latter cost
about 10 cents, and they both fulfill their
purpose just the same, and what is even
more important in the eyes of femininity

the other, hanging from the belt of the

pondence. THE chilly weather which has
up to this time prevailed has greatly
retarded the spring trade in millinery
and dressmaking. Only few days ago
sealskin wraps, Persian lamb dolmans
and fur mufflers, boas, were taken
from the place where, camphor laden,
they had been left to hibernate for the
summer, and were brought into active
service once more. A cold May it has been,
and hard one for those who depend upon
the loneliness and geniality of the spring
days, TO tempt the danes of fashion into
extravagances of dress.
The thin. gay spring suits have been
scarce, the heavy, half-winter toilets were
very plentiful. And now1t is so late in
the season that those who would month
ago have bought new gowns to wear for
street promenades now say that it is not
worth while to invest in these feeting
spring novelties, for the summer
is near at hand, and it is almost
time to go away for the heated
season. Last falls gowns, slightly re-
modelled and treated to corduroy sleeves
or jewel-bedecked vests, will do nicely:
and on the very warmest of the days We
are now having one of the gowns already
made for summer may be brought out.
The month or six weeks of the season
when spring goods have hourished in
former years was this year cut short, and
the shopkeepers mourn their losses.
As recompense to this dizziness in
novelty dress goods there has been most
unusual sale of street wraps, doimans and
capes. Fur capes have somewhat lost
their popularity, and newer style has
arisen in the loose braided or jetted wraps
which come in many fashion

Young men are serving tea in place of
the young women. Each bachelor has in
his apartments nice spirit kettle, and all
the accessories that make up charming
little cuisine. When Eat homen the young

some lady friend to preside for him, but, ON

in place of jackets or fur capes.
The Louis Quatorze coat has not lost its
hold upon the public, but the wrap has
come in as a companion to it. The latter
is becoming where the former is not. The
Louis Quatorze makes fat woman look as
if carrying paniers all around her person
below the waist, and the knee length
is trying TO all who have not the advan-
tage of slimness. The wrap, with its loose
sleeve, Medici collar and yoke, pointed
front and back, conceals the defects and
gives an air of elegant simness to the too
redundant form.
Upon young women, too, it is becoming,
and for theater wrap, or dinner or carriage
use, it has many things TO commend it.
1t can be easily slipped off and on, and it
transforms an evening dress into a street
gown by concealing decollete or fanciful
waist. Many of the wraps are imported,
yet those of domestic manufacture are quite
as elegant. Sets of embroidery in gold,
silver, bronze and tinsel come for sewing
upon the collar and yoke of these wraps.
The front and back are tight fitting, the
sleeves perfectly loose and lowing, being
gathered at the shoulders into full puff,
and left hanging free far below the hand.
Another variety of these is open in front
and the wearer puts out her arms as if she
were wearing circular The edge of the
Medici collar is bordered with feather trim
ming, or chiffon. The dressiest of these
wraps are in light tan or white. embroid-
cred in gold or silver. Beautiful ones are
finished with jets, and still others are
dotted at every inch of their length and
breadth with jewels.
The jewel season may now be said to be
at its height. Everything that could be
devised has been devised, and women are
wearing all that can possibly be worn by
them in the way of tinsel or jewel or
colored stones. If there are heights or
depths of the jewel season yet to be
fathomed, the fashionable modiste does
not predict it.
Only one vagary remain for our bellies of
fashion. Down in Cuba the ladies when
they get themselves up very smart indeed
decorate themselves, their gowns and
their hair with fire-tiies IN place ofprecious
stones. These beautiful green tire-die look
like emeralds, and the tre-beetles glow
in the light like clear living stones.

hoped she would be. People are not will

to be honest and sincere in her desire
20 help the laboring classes. Her book,
brought out some time ago, which
was suppressed as indecent literature,
aimed in plain, clear fashion, to help the
poor by teaching them how to have small
families. Mrs. Besant thinks and stoutly
maintains that the laboring classes might
be raised to higher level and have de-

unknown if, instead OF dozen olive

A TARAHUMARE RUNNER.

Thick, rawhide sandals on his feet,
A bronze-red figure full OF grace,
Injured alike to cold and heal
He stands, the flower of his race:
Broad in the chest, with lower umo
Symmetrical and hard and sim,
With breech-elout steepel ID sothper eyes
Folded securely round his thighs;
And loosely on his massive breast
necklace rude OF shell IS hung
Nv some cIiff-dwelling maiden strung,
And by his coarse, black hair caTessed.
His hair from whence bis dark eyes glow:
The runner, Candelario.
Far in a savage vastness wild
He makes his home the Gins among,
Where chaos lies in fragments pied
And chides the thunders muttering tongue;
Where the red lightning's fingers reach
All sudden through the storm-eloud's breach;
And where the hurricanes fell wrath
Through mountain timer sweeps us path;
And here upon the deer's faint rack
He follows on from day 70 GAY,
From ruddy dawn 10 evening gray,
Ger ci # snd chasn1, sand and snales
Till with his knife h Stays tie roe:
The runner, CaDdelarlo.
A hundred miles a day TO him
Is nothiug-as with dog trot pace
He takes departure Stanch and grim,
Nor stops nor faitcrs in the race
A primal athlete he, who goes
Where the swift torrent downward nows;
Across the steep in level fight,
Adown the glen and UP the height
The weary wolf will seek repose-
And deer shall in their covert bed
Lie down and rest. while overhead
The crow his Tagging wings must close,
Yet onward speeds you speck below.

wish to have moths corrupt nor thieves
break through and steal. One girl SAYS
that she has two and a half banks full, and
when she gets another she is going to add
the missing link-the last ten necessary to
break the bank-and with the wealth
which she will have poured into her lap
she will buy pair of giddy silk stockings
and carriers with a tiny jewel in the clasp
to symbolic the month in which she was
born. If she breaks the bank this month
bit of sparkling emerald must glisten
upon her leg where the garter goes round,
because May is the month for emeralds.
There is another caper which the pru-
dent young woman is perpetrating, and
that is the procuring of a receptacle for
her jewels and treasures where they will
be perfectly safe. Freaks of hypnotism,
vagaries of theosophism and kleptoman-
iacal tendencies are making ii as simple a
matter to appropriate property which be-
longs to another, and yet not to be pun
ished for such an appropriation, that the
woman who would guard her treasures
and keep them for her own must
think of way of outwitting the
occult mysteries which rule people
when they want something which does
without buying it or paying for it. The
only way in which she can do this is by
getting ahead of the mysteries and out
whiting them. She has a somewhat diff
cult task before her, as she must deal, not
only with flesh and blood and mortal
minds, but supernatural agencies which
work in conjunction with such flesh and
blood.
