CO.OPERATlvE HUMAN NATURE.
 It has-been generally supposed that CO., operative distribution as carried on in England, was wonderfully successful, but it has lately appeared that it has its draw backs. Just now 1t is not supposed to be very profitable, and 1t is also sharply criti- cised as not calculated to improve the social condition of England. At the recent cooperative congress in Bristol it was pointed out that the cooperative stores provided, indeed, cheap supplies for their members, but they did so by system of sxaction respecting the producers quite as severe as that followed by the individual tradesman. The labor organisations that maintained cooperative stores insist that prices should be cut down to low level, and, indeed, in order to make these establishments financial suc- cesses, no other course was possible. But, in order to keep prices down, it was necessary for the managers Uf co opera tive stores to employ all of the devices re- sorted to by shrewd tradesmen. Tho CO., operative managers must buy cheap, and to do this they became the patron of the sweater. The expenses of the stores themselves must be kept down, and for this reason not only have the employees of cooperative stores been compelled to serve from early in the
 morning until late at night, but the pzy given to them has been so small that a Cooperative Guarantee Fidelity company has officially announced that 1t will not undertake to insure the honesty of these clerks because their pay is so far below the average that 1t does not seem possible that their honesty can be vouohed for.
 All of which indicates that cooperative human nature may not greatly differ from other human nature.

FASHION NOTES.
Summer Visions Of Goodness.

Summer Visions of Goodness.
 Shirt waists are prettier than ever. The girl who puts herself into 6 white duck suit, with a blazer jacket that has big sleeves, and under 1t wears a very fine batiste or muslin shirt waist will look charming. Likely her waist will be one with collar that opens in point at the throat, and thst is edged with @ rufie 90 wide that 1t stands away out on the shoui- ders and comes we'll down the back. If she lets the cuffs of her shirt waist come below the cuffs of her duck jacket, and spreads the great collar over the top of the jacket, she will be e vision of coolness and will affect a compromise with the tailor made effect of the usual shirtfronted girl.
