CONVERSATION ON TOWN TOPICS

HEARD BY THE MAN ABOUT TOWN. John: Speaking of hard times, I met a secdy looking old fellow the other day, that l heard had S3O, ,OO0 left him which he had spent and was then nearly desti- tute.
 George: Was it true?
 John: That's what l wanted to find out, so | bluntly asked him. He hung his head and made no reply. In order to stire him up l said. Any man who would go through with S30, ,0OO was a fool
 George: Then you a,lled him if it was less than 10000, suppose:
 John: Yes, tried him on various | sums till got down to S5 ,000, without getting any satisfaction out of him. He finally admitted that he had spent more money than he would do now if he had | it.
 ] George am afraid good many will i be reminded this winter of Mir Pick wick's advice to the celebrated Mrs Bar dell, "Don't forget the warming pan" John heard you were going to New York to stay few days? George. Yes.
 John: l suppose you will have d good time and see some of the boys:
 George: No. My wife is going along John: Say, have you got anything good for a sore back?
 George: Why?
 John: I sat through Platt's musicale the other night at the Town hall on those hard seats and have been sore ever since. Did you go?
 George: No. I don't believe in the Ii brary getting all the money. Did you go to hear Green?
 John: What Green?
 George: Green, the lecturer of Green < Berk, who gave the Worlds fair at the Town hall.
 John: What did he say2
 George: He congratulated the library on the pleasure they would take in read. ing the new books added to the library in consequence of his entertainment
 John: Rather sarcastic; what kind o1 show was it? I George: Good. Green was spicy and full of wit all through. He said one man who visited the Womans' building was so impressed that he had gotten uE and built the morning fires for his wife ever since.
 l John: Thin audience l suppose?
  ! George: Very. When he came to tn. end of his lecture, he told the story O the boy who was seen to pound his fin ger, then yell,repeating the performance several times. On being asked why h, did so, he said twas because it seemed s, good when he stopped.
 John: We'll, good by.

among the loops, two rosettes of the ribbon are set against the hair in the back under the narrowed brim and in front where the brim flares up, is set l bow of the ribbon with the long loop drawn up against the under side of the hat brim to it's edge. The tiny black feathers are laid flat against the brim on either side of the bow, the tips of the feathers curling over the edge of the brim. A bar buckle of brilliant white paste secures bow and both feathers low down near the hair. The whole affair is extremely simple, and an example of the best black and white taste. The ! toque sketched here is in the same shade combination. It is made of black velvet and almost covered with feathers. In front there is a white aigrette and pink velvet rose.
 A new and truly unique effect, sort of two birds with one stone idea, is the pretty bow set under the brim of a hat and passing through slits in felt to flare on top. Narrow brimmed hats with the brims left in front, turned back and held in place by big flat bows of ribbon are much worn. The same effect is some times carried out in the back, but the result, though undeniably stylish, is for all that a little grotesque. Napoleon shapes come at good price and are quite the thing in hats, but you can bend any ordinary felt into a corner at each side and do the trick. If last years big hats look very small, you can widen the brim by an insertion of fur, and that is very swell.
 The jacket shown below is made of light mode colored cloth and closes with two large fancy buttons. It's huge re- vers end in a deep turned down collar, which is partly faced with moire. The moderately wide sleeves are pleated into the armhole and have deep pointed cuffs, the upper part of cloth, the lower of black velvet. In front there is plas- trom of black moire with standing col lar of astrakhan, and an astrakhan muff is carried. The round hat has an up- turned dt nted brim of velvet and is trim med with ribbon rosettes and double aigrette of finely pleated tulle.
