the dwellings contain an average of over
twenty persons each. The condition Of
things In this city so increases the totals for
the whole State that while in the entire
United States the average number of per-
sons TO a dwelling is 545, the average in
New York State is 80, which is more than
in any other State Of the Union. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that this city should be the
landlords paradise. Here many man is
obliged to give one-fourth to one-third of his
income to the landlord. The purchase Of a
house, even on the installment plan. be-
comes here an undertaking which few per-
sons are courageous enough to enter upon
Apartments in fat-house rent for more
than whole houses do in other cities, and
even two or three rooms in a tenement cost

Is this condition of things that has con-
tributed to the rapid growth of Brooklyn
and the suburbs OF the metropolis, where
land IS cheaper and rents are lower than
they can possibly be in the city.

WORK FOR WOMEN.

Opened in New York.

Ane oDJecs OF scheme Which VIII Be
Opened in New York.
New York Recorder
A new departure in the field of woman's
work is to be inaugurated in this city this
autumn. 1t takes the immediate direction
of school of applied design, but the plans
of those who are interested in founding the
Institution do not stop short with the mere
instruction of such women as are ready to
pay It's tuition fees and receive its lessons.
The school has been organized for the
purpose OF affording women an opportunity
to earn livelihood by the employment of
their taste and manual dexterty. in the APP
pilcation of ornamental design to manufae-
lure ana the arts AS compared with other
women's work designing is remunerative,
and 1t IS work for which women are espe-
cially adapted
That much-abused subject, the sphere of
women's work, VIII receive a marked inl-
petus by the founding of this school. At
the com pletion OF the course of its nstruc-
ton the young women will be ready to Ell
ter new field Of work. They will be quail
lned to be designers of carpets, wall papers,
ollcioths. cretonnes, etc., and the man who
mas reigned supreme and alone in his posi-
ti0n as architects draughtsman will need to
beware, as the graduates Of this school,
though unassuming and deliciously femi-
nine, Will have tucked away in the cells of
their brains such knowledge of iree-hand,
linear aud pen and pencil drawing. such
clear ideas of architectural construction
and details and plans that, as rival drafts
men. they will become dangerous.
The scho0lhouse is situated at the corner
OF Iwenty-third street and Seventh avenue,
and will be opened September 10, 1892 The
special feature of tho school, and where
1t differs from any other in existence, Is the
fact that its instructors are practical men
and women, who are actually employed in
manufactures or architects offices. They
have not been graduated from their special
line of study ten or fifteen years ago. but
they are in constant touch with the manu-
lecturer They grasp just his needs ana
are in friction with the whole business

DECORATING A WINDOW

Coat.

The styles Of the first empire seem to be
the keynote of the winter fashion. says the
New York Herald. 1t would be unwise to
have ones autumn dresses made too early
this year until the edict is passed, for it is
said that there is to be a decided revolution
in all the styles. On the lines OF genuine
empire dress, and also of bonnet OF the
epoch, the modistes will work, altering and
adapting them to modern days. 1t is i'm
possible to believe that, except for evening
dresses, the too quaint style of this period
can be revived without the most thorough
notifications.
The original empire dress is an affecta-
ton OF great simplicity and an attempt at
Greek drapery. AS few petticoats and
undergarments os possible were worn, In
order that the skirts should cling closely,
and to display the form beneath in its
pnrest outline was not thought immodest.
