The PLAYERS arrived on the grounds shortly

had finished greeting them the ball was put
in play. Men were talking to each other
commenting upon the appearance Of the

tions begun half an hour before, when sud
denly a shout from the thousands on and
around the field was heard. Some.

seconds had elapsed and surely nothing
startling could have taken place. But Il
had. Yale bad scored touchdown and

GOOD LOGIC"

The conversation substantially took
place at a tea party on the Avenue, in
fashionable neighborhood, last week be-
tween two ladies. We viii call one Mrs.
Faird ressed and the other Mrs. Well
dressed.
Mrs f. remarked to Mrs. w.
"Where did you get that handsome
black all silk satin dress? 1t is as nice
as any have ever seen"
Mrs w. answered.
II got it entirely by accident and YOU
would hardly guess where l purchased
it. just four years ago, L had occasion
TO get some Livery Buttons; / inquired
at all the large stores and failed to get
what l wanted. l was directed to a
store in Smith Street, between State and
Schermerhorn Streets, (Saenge rbund
bulldingJ, and got the buttons required.
/ saw an enormous stock of all kinds of
buttonsand made quite little purchase.
Perhaps being rather inquisitive. / in
CURED: What goods are those done up
in those papers? They were shown me
and found this elegant black satin of
which this dress IS made. found it of
a better quality than any have seen in
any OF the large stores; not but what
they may keep them, but l think not.
I have had this made over twice TO con-
form with the fashion and it is quite as
good as new yet.
'Surely think it is Mrs. W, but why
don't the large stores keep such goodsf
"Why, because they don't pay big
enough profit and are too expensive.
suppose they can make more money on
a cheaper class of goods. You know
their expenses must be enormous. Only
think of paying Fifty Thousand Dollars
~ lsanf and fhat Ear. Of al,
employed, their big advertising, etc, all
to come out of a retail business in Brook
lyn. 1t is only common sense to know
that the Smith Street store could sell
goods much cheaper; that is, if you
would find what suited. Besides, as |
understand, these goods are intended
for gentlemen's coat Innings and are bet
ter made, better material and heavier
than we ladies usually buy L have also
purchased dress Innings, waist Innings
and the best silk thread ever used and
some black farmers satin for mother, a
dress of which wore elegantly. You
know, Mrs. i. it costs as much to make
up poor trashy goods as it does the best
which always comes cheapest in the
end"
Mrs. W., does that store send home
your purchases?
''No think not; all have ever pur-
chased, have taken home with me in
my carriage. 1t saves the store a big
expense"
You are quite right Mrs. w. How
about their reliability?
''They are perfectly reliable; at least
/ have been SO impressed that l have
made what purchases l could there for
the past four years and have always
been perfectly satisfied"
Mrs. Clinton announces ''tea is now
ready"
SHOW, Mrs. W., you did not give me
the name and number"
81 will, for it is q positive benefit for
you to make your purchases there. The !
address is: John +. Davies, &C. Smith
Street"
THANKS"

OUT OF a JOB.
English Aristocrats Who Are Looking for
Work.


Work.
The following advertisement lately
appeared in an English newspaper, says
the Financial World:
Directors wanted of good social standing for
q new company nov in course Of formation;
qualification viii be found for selected appli
cants and remuneration will be on a liberal
scale"
To this there were one hundred and
forty-one replies received: One earl,
one viseount, four barons, seven baro-
nets, one knight, thirteen honorables,
six members of parliament, four gen.
erals, one admiral, nine colonies, four
majors, fourteen army captains, three
minor naval officers and seventy-three
without rank or title. There were
some very amusing letters accompany
ing the applications. The earl said: II
need not point ont that, should you en-
terrain my proposal, an important lev
erage in procuring a good subscription
of public capital will be gained by my
title, which is an old one, and likely to
prove an attraction to investors. may
also state that il appointed ! should al
ways make it point of driving to the
general meetings in my brougham and
pair, with servants in full livery. This,
l have been told by friends sitting on
company boards, is a great factor in
inspiring shareholders with confidence.

the fees were paid in advance, ire
speetive of any profits made by the COM
pany." One of the members Of parlia-
ment wrote that he had no doubt that,
if he were appointed, it would result in
heavy purchases of shares in his con-
stituency, where he was very popular
And" he added, lit would be well if
the bona fides of your scheme We're as
sured. at any rate, on the surface" The
last part of the sentence would ,eem to
rather give the virtuous legislator away,
as he evidently did not care whether the
scheme was good or not.
