rs CHANGING FASHIONS

When hoops were worn by woman fair,
A nuisance they were found;
One ran against them cverywhere,
The hoops were always round.
And they retarded, It was clear,
The rise of womankind,
For by the fashion to her sphere
Each woman was confined.
When hoops went out, by some cracked
brain
The hustle was Designed,
And wolnans fashions, it was plain,
Were getting qnite behind.
The hustle also saw its day,
Though 10 it they adhered
For years, and then it passed away
The clingipg dress appeared.
And MS it suited old and young,
Twas worn without dc,nur;
10 fashion woman long had clang.
Now fashion c'ung TO her.
III time the tram became the style,
Aud every woman wore it,
In fact the fashion for a while
Swept everything before it.
And thus tho years new fashions bring
Which flourish and decay;
The corset is the only thing
That ever came to stay.

AN IMPORTANT PROJECT

Considered Last Nlght-The Commit
 tee on Streets Vote to Recommend
 theWidening of the Mouth of Grand Avenue.
 The petition for the widening of the en- trance to Grand avenue and t.John street from State street was heard by the com mittee on streets last evening. T.Attwater Barnes appeared for the chamber of com merce and stated that the widening of this entrance should have been done long ago and that it was the feeling of the chamber that this was much needed improvement. He said that Grand avenue, State, Chapel and Church streets and Congress avenue make fve-mile continuous route of com merce through the city.
 Edward McGowan stated that he had been engaged in the trucking business for many years. He said that the widening should have been done long ago and he wondered why it had not been done years ago. He said the people of this city were lacking in public spirit or the thing would have been done long ago.
 P. F. Kiernan stated that he was mem- Der of the street committee in 1874, and that the widening of the entrance was rec commended, but the recommendation was not adopted. Mr. Simeon E Baldwin ap- peared and objected to the widening of the entrance, as his building and property on the southeast corner woald be involved. He said that there was no necessity for widening the entrance, as it is good enough for the travel over it. He said that the benefits derived by such action would not be of sufficient value to warrant the ex- pense of the change.
 In executive session it was voted to recommend that the Baldwin property be condemned for street purposes and that enough land be purchased on the St. John street side 80 that Grand avenue should be as wide at Artizsn street as the distance on Olive street from the south side of St.. Johns to the north side of Grand avenue.
 It was voted not to close Lafayette street and Lafayette place until the prop erty owners shall have disposed of their property to tho Derby Railroad company.
