Draws With Her Toes,

Mile. Aimee Rapin, the armless artist who drew with her feet the pastel of the duchess of York, is a young Genevoise of rare intelligence. The eldest daughter of Swiss barr1s- ter, she as child drew with her feet better than most people draw with their hands, and at the age of fifteen she began her artistic studies in one of the best studios in Switzerland

Nice Present for a Girl to Give to Tter
 Mother.
 The button or darning-bag is such a comfort to the busy wife and mother, and may be fashioned pretty enough to be brought out on state occasions.
 An attractive affair of the kind is of chamois skin, the top finished with scallops, while below is a casing in which is run the drawing-string. All about the edges falls a cut fringe of the chamois, delicately tinted with gold paint. In the center of the bag half a dozen stray buttons are outlined in water colors and lustre paints.
 The cretonne button bag is an an- tique-loolling trifle, with Its big bright hued blossoms scattered across sober

with grace and ease Like all women

splendidly and her face shows few of

her countenance is often lighted with

hope do they sell it here?"

a very flood of nectar in the shape of a

all its varied history To begin with,
the leaders, Gilroy, Pur-oy, Croker and
Cochran, have talked the situation
over, and agree that il makes very lit
tie difference to Tammany this year
whether it elects city ticket or not
Of course, the sachems are not saying
so. 1t is part of their little con-
sPfracy-and little conspiracies are
Tammany's forte-to affect great con-
cern over the mayoralty, and so con-
centrate opposition on that shining
mark. All the reform being thus con-
centrated in one direction, Tammany
will put in its quiet work on the as
sembiymen and minor Offices Tam
many does not expect its man for mayor
TO win. If he should, so much the bet
ter. Without the mayoralty Tammany
would be but slightly handicapped. Its
creatures fill all the important posi-
tions. The next mayor of New York
cannot touch them. Hence the Tam
many men are laughing in their sleeves
at the premature JOY of the reform ele-
nent, which is delighted at the pros
pect of making the Tammany tiger
walk the plank. The victory would
be very Pyrrhic one.
Should the election result in par
ticularly adverse majority against
Tammany, the sachems will temporarily
sojourn in Europe. There is no doubt
whatever about this. although all the
magnates, from Croker down, have
been vigorously denying advance
rumors to the effect that they will HE
away.
The campaign promises to be un-
usually expensive The contributors
to the funds Of all parties have been
pretty well bled. Not few of them
have been complaining that at the
present rate it would be cheaper to let
Tammany continue to plunder the city.
One of the tricks it will be necessary
to guard against is the close scrutiny
of every ballot cast that the Tiger is
getting ready to make. Every voter
will have fifteen Of them to vote. and
every point is to be strained to throw
out defective ones on technical grounds.
There have also been arranged various
series of last cards, and men prominent
in the reform movement are to be
assailed by attacks upon their charac-
ter sr antecedents The developments
between now and election day promise
to be sensational in high degree.
