There is the apron OF fine white cam

with narrow tucks. With this apron Is
worn a jaunty little cap, with long

Another apron worn by the fashion

mI.tre.. and Maid.

A fashionable nursery maid can't
dress as she may choose. Think OF
what that is TO a woman. Every NO.
man, no matter what her station 10 life,
has some little hobby in dress. just TO
gown herself in this hobby makes her
look happy. The fashionable nursery
maid has not this privilege. Her gowns,
her cap and her apron must be made In
the style which the lady Of the house
considers correct. No thought is given
to whether they are becoming to the
wearer or not. So it often happens
that the nursery maid with the small
pinched face Is forced to wear a cap OF

The policeman thought that he could
help the girl, for he knew her uncle.
To the uncle's house Maggie was taken.
but The uncle refused to take his niece
in. alleging that he was a sick man
and unable to support her.
The uncle was obstinate, and Maggie
was taken to Police Headquarters.

and word came back that he wanted
nothing more to do with his sister.

said this morning that Masgie's case
was a sad as we'll as puz2ling one. He
believes that Maggie has been turned
out to shift for herself in the face of
approaching Winter. The best thing he
could do was to send her to Jefferson
Market Court this morning and notify
Gerry's Society. all of which was done.

old boy in Houston street not far from
the Bowery this morning. The little
fellow was hatless, his face was smutty

hands were so COLI that he could hardly
hold fast to his small burden.
Crying bitterly. he was taken to Po-
lice Headquarters. where he said that
his name was JOHNNY Alexander, or
AleXansedus. and lived somewhere in
Mott street. The number he could no,
remember. and, indeed, he did not seem
to desire to recollect.
Johnny told Sergt. Harley that his
mother seEt him out late last night to
pick up coal and Cinders He had not
gathered much, and. besides that, he
wandered around and got lost.
A policeman was sent villa Johnny

Judge Ingraham, OF the Supreme
Court. has handed down a decision
awarding sl5 per week alimony and 800
counsel fees to Mrs. Abraham Korn,
who is suing her husband for a limited
divorce.
The peculiar feature of the litigation
is the effort of the defendant to show

that the plaintiff is subject 10 hallucina-
tions, and the cruelty alleged exists
only in her disordered brain.

who walked into the East %Thirty-ffth

kill the Cuban Consul and a number of
others. the majority of whom are after
money or blood.
Supt. Byrnes said yesterday that he
would lock the cranks up whenever he
found them. a determination that Is
not likely to be changed by reason OF
his W experience. however mild-man-
hered his visitor may have been. Ger

Aniniai and Fnvalfd DIET

Foods thai will keep a we'll person
healthy may kill the sick. On a diet Of
beef tea, which will build up an invalid.
healthy men rapidly lose their strength.
Rare, juicy beef, which is the most
rutritive of all meats. and which nour-
ishes the healthy. is the least nourishing
of all foods for the sick person, whose
feeble stomach car assimilate no part
of 1t. The nutritive power of milk is
very much underestimate. There is
more nourishment in a pint of milk
than there is in a quarter OF a pound Of
beef. But this is not the whole question
OF invalid dieting. Chemistry has far
less to DO with the subject than the
patients stomach, which must have not
what is most .n~ourishing, but what It
can assimilate with the least exertion.
The food hat a sick person likes and
hungers for is invariably what nature
requires. The perfect animal may be
fed, the invalid must be fostered with
simple blu delicately served morsels.
The cheek of a broiled lamb chop, q
checker Of toast, a spoonful Of wine
jelly and an eggshell of hot ~milk-thoss
are the dainties that provoke appetite.
