PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR

MORE BIG snEr:yEs

Many modistos arc using almost ex-
clusiysly for the cool weather gowns
they are already busy upon the NUT
ton-leg sleeve which they are adopt
ing as sort of compromise between
the coat variety and the large balloon
models of the summer. The latter are
most appropriate for airy hot weather
fabrics, but unsuited for autumn and
winter materials, first because Of their
thickness, and secondly because these
Immense sleeves cannot be worn be-
meath any sort of u wrap without tho
cape or cont being large enough about
the arms to make its wearcr look de-
formity or guy. If the balloon sleeve
is adopted, it will be for the wrap, to
go on over sleeve of less exagger-
nted proportions, but in the majority
of cnses the new coats have mutton-Icg
sleeves merely cut several sizes larger
than the mutton-lcg of tho bodice.

"And why do you wish me to drink

EMINENT WOMEN LAWYERS.

In tho Law Congress lately in ses-
sion in Chicago an important part was
assigned to two women, namely, DIR.
Emily Kempin, of Zurich University.
Switzerland, and Miss Mary A. Greene.
of Providence, r. l., and Boston, rep
resentative of the women lawyers of
this country. Tho study of the law
was originally taken up by Miss Greene
rs course enabling her to manage
her own affairs with intelligence. She
entered the Law School of Boston
University, and there completed the
full course OF three years. The value
of the diploma received by tho candi-
date was enhanced By the addition of
the "mngna .,cum laude." A few
months later Miss Greene opened an
office in Boston, where she proved her
ability as lawyer of high rank. She
distinguished herself by an exceeding
u able argument before the Judiciary
Committee of the Legislature of the
State in support of petition for the
validity of contracts between husband
and wife, and which was subsequently
published by the American Law Re-
view.
Through delicacy of constitution
Miss Greene has been prevented from
engaging extensively in court work,
her general line of effort being of a
literary character. Her acquisitions
include thorough knowledge of the
French language, translation in
serial form, entitled ella Femme Adj
vocat, being one of the excellent IL
lustrations of her work in this direc-
ton.
The foreign delegate to the Law
Congress, DR.. Emil Kempin, received
her degree from the law department
of the University of Zurich, became
an instructor in New York City, and
was immediately afterward appointed
to tench law in the Uniyersity of the
City of New York, ia a,classu of young
women. She continpedsin. tho. Inst
named service for aayearp;@ith her
family in Switzerland. and was after
ward appointed to a position in the
Zurich University.

The London Times, in long leader
on the dismal agricultural prospects of
Great Britain, says that foreign com.
petition depresses the price of cattle
and corn. The imports of animals and
meat, it says. will swamp the markets
this year. Great Britain will DO more
than ever dependent on foreign sup.
plies and will require Mt least 2S, 600,
600 quarters of wheat from abroad.
Franco, it adds, must import more
than twice rs much as she usually does.
AS to Germany, that country has al-
ready begun to draw on tho American
markets for supplies. When Nations
thus bid against each other, tho article
says, there is n fair chance that prices
will advance.

Tho London police have under con-
siderntion the enforcement of rule of
the roadway for pedestrians. In Lon
don, as in all parts of the world, rulo
OF keeping to the right is enforced on
on vehicles, but there is no such law
for pedestrians. 1t is in most of orr
cities, md in England, declares the
Picayuhe, pretty we'll understood and
accepted social rule, and is quite gen.
orally observed, but it has no legal au-
thority, and the man who turns to the
left and endeavors to force himself
through an advancing crowd lis guilty
of no legal offense, however seriously
no may discommode other people. In
crowds such as are common in tho
streets of London and New York. and
not unusual on Canal street.. declares
our New Orleans contemporary, such
conduct is the occasion of much seri.
GUS confusion apd.annoyanco. The
rule of the road is n good one, and it
might be enforced by legal sanctions
wherever crowds are congregated.

Why 1t Is ga Table Cats

Some writers on The curiosities OF
animal nomenclature tell us. that tho
reason we call feline of certain
markings of color "tabby" cat is be-
cause Tabitha was the goddess of the
erooked-clawed species Wagner's
Names and Their Meaning, although
it has splendid department. on tho
nlcknames of birds, does not refer to
those applied to the animul species Mt
all, therefore it will be OF no use to
consult that work to lind ont why u
"tabby" cat bears it's unique name, or
why Jerusalem donkey is SO called.
In curious old work printed in Lon.
don, in 1906 entitled, "Names An
piled to Animate Things" [ find the
following, which seems to explain the
tabby cat enigma: "The terme Tab
bic Cat is derived from Atnb, fnmoua
streete i'll Bagdad, cittie of the Ori-
ent. This streete is inhabited by tho
manufacturers of silken stuff called
'atabi, the waved markings of the
watered silke resembling IL cats coat.
From that we call all cats so marked
'atnb, 'atabbie,' or simply tabbio'
