. successful Flower Decorator.

The most successful floral decorator
of the day is a woman, young and fair,
and the nd-daughter OF former mil
ionaire. At II the girl was left pennl-
less and in the past six years she has
made snug little fortune arranging
flowers for social entertainments. The
most famous of her dinner decorations
were those displayed at a dinner given
by a wealthy California lady to the
President and his wife. On the morn
ing of the day appointed the woman
florist, Miss Bates, appeared at seven
o'clock with eighteen women assistants
in uniform, wearing white caps ana
aprons. Turning the keys in the doors,
the women worked silently and swiftly
until 4 o'clock, when the hostess was
ushered into fairyland. All the native
fora had been employed by Miss Bates
and her staff. Airy garlands draped the
ceiling, punches of flowers formed the
background Of statues, panels OF dos
SONS were inserted in walls and doors,
balls of perfumed color swung from the
ceiling, and in the midst Of the table

The temperance Of Mrs. Roscoe Conk-
ling on the streets Of New York brings
back to the thousands Of friends of her
lamented husband, who were familiar
with her face only at rare intervals,
recollections of her earlier beauty. Mrs.
Conkling must be more than sixty now.
She is unusually tall looking, being so
erect, and in her mourning garments
seems actually taller than her real height,
which can't be less than 5 feet Q. Her
eyes are blue and her features finely
chiselled. Seen side by side with Mrs.
Grant, the contrast between her stately
proportions and the shorter, stouter fig
ure of her companion, whose complexion
is much darker, is noticeable. Mrs.
Conkling's married daughter, Mrs Oak
man, was the companion OF these two
ladies' on their visit to the Conkling
painting in the Hoffman House.-New

The Federation OF Labor Of Bellingham
Bay takes this method Of returning its
most sincere thanks, as body, to the
proprietors of the Globe Clothing House,
on Elk street, for their handsome dona-
tion of something over $40 in cash to our
funds. the same being ten per cent. Of
their cash sales during the first week In
the present month. We heartily recon-
mend that all members of subordinate
unions affilating with this central body
patronize the above named firm as much
as possible consistent with their duty TO
other good union firms. The Globe Cloth
inc House carries no class of goods what
ever except those made by union labor,
and Is, for that reason alone, worthy OF
our best wishes and support.
