manufacturers dLlu uCdlCls
are well nigh wild with worry
over them.
Such goods can't be hadfor
the tinkling of a bell. 1t takes
time to turn rich Sable and
Marten and Mink into these
dainty necklets. 1t takes more
than time-Celluloid heads.
Only one firm makes them,
and the present output is less
than one hundred a day.
The small Furs, too, are
getting very scarce, and prices
are on the up jump.
Meantime women every
where are wanting Fur Neck
Scarfs, and they want them
now.
We had early orders with
foremost furriers for large lots
of these Fur Neck Scarfs. The
final shipments are just in
half a thousand Of them, in
Guiding the ones that are SO
fast becoming precious:
Russian Sable
Hudson Bay Sable
Sable Mink
Stone Marion
Baum Marten
a beautiful assortment OF
Labrador Seal
Astrakhan
Persian Lamb
Augora- and tinted
White Tribet
and a variety of other Furs.

the annual earnings of the employees
per capita have in ten years leaped
from s45S to S567; but such appears
to be the fact, and the increase in
other respects IS nearly in the same
proportion. There are now, or
there were in 1890, and the number
has increased since then, I, 100 more
mills, factories, ETC., than there were
in 1880. These pay $1,000, 900
more per year in wages than those
which existed ten years ago, and
also give employment to 1900 more
hands. The percentage increases as
reported are: Establishments re-
ported, 1887; capital invested,
Ioe.I2; number OF hands employed,
42.66; wages paid, IS, 40; value OF

coed nc70s Of Black Dress
Goods.
The tiles and the furniture
of the Black Dress Goods sec
ton excite much gratified ap-
probation. That's good. We
are glad when our guests are
glad.
But this is better. Another
trade paradox. Absurd but
true. 1t affects several sorts
of choice staple goods, such as
required by the best retail
trade. Products of leading
English and French mills,
principally Lupin's and Priest
ley's.
Tie paradox is in the prices
which are thirty, forty and
fifty per cent off. Peculiar
that this chance comes at the
height of a most prosperous
season.
Here it is, however. An
other conquest of great trad
ing.

Among the Black Dress

bargains Of which the quaint

tisement.

prospect that an equal offering
of Black Dress Goods can be
made again this season.

Shs Delights in Mothers-in- Law, But
Not in Corsets.
From, the Neio York Recorder.
A rather unique luncheon was given this
week in the near vicinity of Murray hill -,
at which she guest of honor was a Chinese
lady of gentle birth, the wife Of an Ameri-
can gentleman who had long been a resi-
dent of Shanghai. This is the first visit of
the fair celestial TO her husbands native
land, and her impressions of the strange
country" were very interesting.
On one subject she waxed enthusiastic
the American mother-in~law. In her own
land the mother-in-law is sort of supreme
being, before whom the sons wife must
bend the devotional knee This little lady
had found her American mother-i n-law an
ideal being, and English words failed TO ex-
press her admiration. She pronounced her
"a number one piece mamma"
The dress of American women she found
Every pretty, but not, l think, quite COM
Portable What you call the corset cannot

their fashions are subject to changes as are
ours, although they have not so broad a

cording to the dictates of dame fashion.
who also regulates the length OF the tunic
and prescribes the proper combinations OF
color. Just at present dark blue with rose
pink is the ultra mode. bnt blue lavender is
much worn and is considered quite stylish.
The change from summer to winter gar
ments, and vice verso, IS regulated by i'm
perial decree. 1t was suggested to the dis
tinguished visitor that during her sojourn in
this country it would be wiser to be gov
erned by the predictions Of Sergt. Dunn
than to await q proclamation of President
Harrison to put on winter fennels.
The dainties served at lunch seemed quite
palatable to the foreign dame, but in en-
pairing the modes Of serving she explained
that the Chinese cook always prepared the
food 10 be eaten. No joints of meat or
large morsels Of food are placed upon the
table in China, but everything is served in
condition TO he eaten with chopsticks. For
that we have servants"
On the subject OF our domestic service her
feelings were quite too pronounced 20 be re-
strained by courtesy. She unhesitatingly
declared that she deemed lone contempti-
BILE Chinese man worth fully half dozen
honorable American servants"
Tue elevated trains flying through the air
we're almost supernatural in her eyes. The
"headless creatures" as she dubbed the
cable cars seemed like comic caricatures.
For Americans, doubtless, the trans we're
"very nice" But she was sure we would
prefer iinrickshaws could we but try them.
she spoke English with perfect accuracy
and with a scarcely perceptible accent. Her
Chinese was apparently charming, but she
coyly admit ted that she often indulged in
his OF slsng in her native tongue.

meet me instantly. She closed her shop for
the time being in order to be with me, and
escorted me to her best room, which was
her bedroom, pArlor ana kitchen, there be-
ing but two rooms TO the building.
"She talked long while Of her sister and

they had died, and Of her many hardships,

was the happiest had ever seen.

Just exactly what he did do, and like 20 be
precise.
He did not belong TO any one. He had
discharged his owner Uf, indeed, he had ever
permitted himself to possess one, which is
doubtful, having regard to the aggressive
independence Of his character) and was now
running himself entirely on his own account
He had appropriated the front hall for his
sleeping apartment, and he took his meals
with the other dodgers, whenever they hap
pened to be having meals.
At O'Clock ne would take an early morn
ing snack with young Hollis, an engineers
pupil, VINO had to get up al 80 O'Clock and
make his own coffee so as to be down at the

at $50 O'Clock he would breakfast in q

Gadbut swore that twice he had met him
coming out of q stockholders office In
Thrsadneede street, and i'm probable though
the statement at first appeared, some color
of credibility began TO attach to il when we
reflected upon the dogs inordinate passion
for acquiring and boarding coppers.
This craving OF his for wealth was really
quite remarkable. He was an elderly dog,
with great-almost an exaggerated sense
of his own dignity yet, on the promise Of a

tail until be didn't know one end Of himself
from the other.
He used 70 teach himself tricks, and 20
ell around the house in the evening, from
room 10 room, performing them, aud when
he had completed his programme DE would
