is really Leslie Bryant. He sold the coat to
Ernest MERCER who runs a saloon on Bat
terry street. and was sitting in the saloon
with a gang Of follows when
Chief Dumas found him. Brytn' called
at police headquarters, representing himself
to Dc a New York detective and a nephew
Of Superintendent Byrnes. further stating
that there were two crooks in the city and
if Chief Dumas would lend him -. as he
was short of money, he would assist Mr..
Dumas in arrcsting them MI Dumas
thanked him. but said when he wanted
others to do his work he would resign. He
| thought no more of the matter until Mr..
Moody reported his coat and umbrella stolen
so mysteriously from Mr.. Nelson's houst.
Then he remembered Brvant's call and went
to looking for him, finding him rs stated.

English women,s Ronnets.

4 private letter from England de- elares that women there are wearing their bonnets and hats perched on the back of the head, where they look for all the world as if they were likely to fall off any moment, This is especially true of the small bonnets, of which Eng fish women are so fond, and they are worn hanging OH the cushion of hair, which is gaining steadily in favor. 1t isn't probable that the fashion will reach here for two seasons yet, as it takes about that time for astyle in mil hneTy or hairdressing to get to this eoun- try.
 To prove that it is only necessary to look at the Alpine, Tyrol or English walking hat, as it is called, which has been adopted this summer by New York women. Three years ago similar shapes were seen ill all the London shops, but not more than half dozen American women would bring them home. It has taken ever since for the style to get here.

So, with eommendable prompti- tude, they Jeiesraphed home for the re- luctantly surrendered gowns of the morning and soon emerged like so many butterflies from so many chrysalides. Some exquisite toilets were seen. The Princess of Wales was costumed in black. She wore q cream lace ruff round her throat. During the drive she had on :. .ry becoming slate co1ored cape.

yiof, but that she does not fall into worse pitfalls and cast all restraint to the winds
 Of the thousands and tens of thou sands of American girls whose behavior amazes and whose beauty charms by every beach and oil every hillside, the great mass have seen little or nothing of any but the uarrowest social conditions i'll village. town or the restricted circle of small city htase until they find themselves i'll big hotel leading a life of unmitigated publicity and living ill the midst of strangers.
 Most of these girls have had no social experience. Their mothers have had as little. Their men folk are away. On the instant they have to adjust code of village behavior to gregarious eondi- tions and free contact which would be trying to one of experience. They make blunders and do much that is foolish, but their blunders are for the most part trivial and their folly mere playfulness which rarely brings them into harm
 Yet if they understood how much re- serve, restraint and rigorous self con- trol do for woman i'll public and pri- yate, how quickly 1t wins respect which passes into admiration, and an admiration which ripens into something warmer, the American summer girl would add the only charm she now lacks. -Philadelphia Press

A Word Against Suffrage.

The most of the advocates of woman suffrage in the United States are wom- en who, from the very circumstances of their lives, hardly know for what they clamor. They are not usually the wom- ell who have been thrown into most contact with the world. The little local suffrage clubs here and there. if analysed without prejudice, will be found to consist of the woman physician, the women who have not married and are victims of a conserved longing" which they hope to satisfy by intellectual pur- suits, and women disappointed ill mar riage. It is to me the beating of the bird against the bars'' to see these wom- ell long so ardently for woman s suf- frage, because l fear that it will not give them what they need, but be 3 burst balloon when once possessed. - Womankind

Mary iIaIiock Foote.

Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote, the artist author, is by birth New Yorker, al though since her marriage she has re- sided i'll Boise City, the scene of nearly all her recent stories. Her art education was chiefly acquired at Cooper instl- tute, the mecca of so many aspiring geniuses. For years after her success was assured Mrs Foote refused to let a curious public know anything of her personality Even now but little Is known of the woman, however general is the appreciation of her work. Her likeness has never appeared ill print but once, and that was only after long and urgent persuasion OH the part of the magazine to which all her work, both literary and artistic, is by contract pledged, and which was then publish ing an illustrated article upon its con tributors. Since that time Mrs. Foote has been obdurate to all appeals for her portrait. although she is besieged from every quarter.
 While never permitting her home duties to interfere with the natural eX- pression of her genius, yet, after all, IL is as one of the many happy wives and mothers of America that she prefers to be known. She has three charming daughters, the eldest of whom, although yet very young, already displays 9 marked artistic talent. Mrs Foote's s work has confined itself almost wholly to illustration in black and white, and one of the greatest compliments ever paid her was that she produced better color effects with q pencil than most art ists did with brush Philadelphia Times.

Women and the Supreme Court.

As matter of fact, " says Once a Week, although eight women now have the right to practice before the supreme court, no woman has ever ayailed herself of that right il prac- tical way. The law admitting women to supreme court practice was passed in 1879 and signed by President Hayes on the 10th of February. John M. Glover of Missouri introduced the bill ill the house Nov ,, 1877. Benjamin Butler reported it to the house from the com mittee Feb. 21, 1878, and it passed the house the same day. The vote was 169 to S1.
 The law says that any woman who shall have been member of the highest court of any state or territory or of the supreme court of the District of Colum- bia for the space of three years and shall have maintained good standing before such courts, and who shall be a person of good moral character, shall, on notice aad the production of such record, be admitted to practice before the supreme court of the United States. Mrs. Lockwood was eligible immediate ly after the passage of the law, and she gave due notice, and on the Sd of March, 1879, was admitted to the supreme court bar.
 No other member of her sex was ad- mitted to the supreme court for nearly six years Mrs Laura DeForee Gordon of California was the next to apply. She was admitted Feb. 3, 1885. Then followed Mrs. Ada Bittenbender of Ne braska Oct. l5, 1888; Mrs. Carrie B. Kilgoro of Pennsylvania Jan. s, 1890; Mrs. Clara s. Foltz of California March 1, 1890; Mrs. Leila R. Sawtelle of Mas sachusetts April 8, 1890; Emma M. Gillett April 8, 1890, and Miss Kate Kane of Chicago May 26, 1890. :"
