q rich effect not otherwise obtainahle
In serviceable costumes. A good English
serge or cheviot decorated with n fine de-
sign In mohair braid will endure all sorts
of usage and weather and after being well
brushed will look none the worse for what
IL has undergone. Such a gown cannot be
improved upon for travelling especially
since IL is so easy TO have cape OF coat to

Velveteen Is not yet appreciated In this
country, as IL deserves 1t Is much used for
informal gowns in England and is seen In
combination with other goods In many Of
the imported costumes. 1t is so thick and
firm as to be well nigh impervious to
wind, while water produces little effect
upon It. Add TO this its moderate price
and its rich shades Of coloring, and it Is
hard to see why velveteen is not more
generally used for walking and skating
costumes.
A sketch Is given OF an 1890 gown, In
cloth Of two shades-white and suede.
The bell skirt Is of suede cloth and is trim

bordered with black satin ribbon. The
round corsage of suede cloth has yoke of
white cloth. The upper part of the sleeve

consists of roses on one side and feathers
on the other, the prettiest of the roses be-
ing made with the outer petals in velvet
and the inner ones I'm silk or fine muslin.
The black velvet hats are now generally
adopted as the reigning fashion for young
unmarried women as well as for girls in

The trail of moose, leading some
times for miles together through
network of fallen debris, the labor of
following him, and to do so climb
ing over and under the innumerable
fallen logs and interlacing branches,
may be more easily imagined than
described. However weary the hunt
er may be, he must never for one in
slant relax his caut' on, and in those
largo silent woods never, if possible,
break stick.
The moose has an intensely acute
sense of hearing and smelling, and
as, of course, despite all his caution,
when hunting before the snow has
como, the hunter, although mocas-
sin clad, must break sticks some
times, he finds frequently, after
working his way on the trail through
one of these horrible woods, that on
reaching the other side the quarry
has started across mile of open
prairie to seek the shelter of a simi-
lar cover on the other side.
AS the moose, even when undis-
turbed, is a tremendous walker,
browsing on the low willows as he
goes, there ia no knowing when or
where he will stop again. Things
being thus, it follows that the Gays
when there is a high wind are the
best by far for hunting. Then in the
crashing of the falling branches and
the rafting of tho limbs of the trees
the wary brute gets careless and is
easier of approach. -Blackwood's $

THE PRETTY GIRL MARKET.

The market for pretty girls in business
seems to be just now in danger OF a
strong bear movement.
The pretty girl market has enjoyed a
loom almost from the time that woman
began to secure emancipation
via the pleasant path of
typewriting, stenography and ledger
accounts. Every where where place
and profit were open to woman the
pretty girl was regarded as preferred
stock, something particularly choice as
an Office investment. Aud soon the busi-
ness offices all over the land were bloom
with pretty girls-they and their boxes
OF caramels and their tutti-frutti and
their private correspondence and the
fellow that comes TO the office twice a
cav 10 walk hom. with them.
But all this seems in grave danger Of u
violent change. From New York
newspaper we learn that the secretary of
large insurance company who decided
recently to introduce half d,zen or
more women as typewriters, operators,
etc, made special effort to seclre only
women Of mature years and perfectly
plain countenances. The insurance
man stated that he had noted that of the
women employed in his Office. the pretty
ones were the least effective (sic) and at
tracted the most attention to the
deIriment of the work of the other
clerks--presumably the male clerks
as he claimed.
So this insurance man advertised for
help, stating what he wauted-plain
girls of mature years, those possessed of
office experience and freckles preferred.
. He got no response, which did not
surprise him. But when he visited a
local business college and told the man
ager what he wanted, and the manager
showed MIN pile of applications eight
inches high from business men like him
self, all wanting plain women of ma
ture years, experience and freckles, we
may imagine his amazement. The
manager of the business Office declared
that the demand for employees of this
description far exceeded he supply.
OF course the demand exceeds the
supply, for are not the great proportion
of women young and pretty and lack
ing in experience and freckles?
What nonsense it is to thus
attempt to bear ths pretty
girl market and boycott the pretty girl.
The attempt is bound TO fail, as it ought
to. There should be no discrimination
in business. The pretty girl should
have the same opportunity to get along
in the world as the girl who isn't SO
pretty - II there are any who
aren't 50 Pretty. Better far, charge
the callow young male clerks whose
wor is interrupted by the effectiveness
OF the pretty girl at her work.
We are glad that this Insurance man
| got thrown down.

Thavie's inn. in Holborn, nice,
quiet spot, was formerly an inn of
chancery. Thavie was an armorer of
the time of Edward Ill, probably
Welshman, and in all likelihood q
"Davie, and perhaps the original
Taffy of English prejudice. There
were plenty of Welshmen in Holborn
in the days of the Plantagenets. They

Whether or not the thickly settled
rars Of the town of Johnston wants To
annex itself TO Providence is an open
question.
The Olneyyille Business Mems Asso-
citation discussed the matter at their
banquet last evening, and while
the speeches were pretty strongly
favored with the annexation spirit
there was guardedness of re-
mark and carefulness as 10
statement that indicated that even the
annexationists themselves are not yet
wholly prepared 70 jump INFO the arms
of the city.
As a contribution TO the discussion
The NEWS begins today the publication
of interviews with Johnston citizens OF
all sides and shades of lelief. These
interviews will be OF interest and value
because they are terse, outspoken, and
represent wide public sentiment on the
matter.
1t is believed, however, despite the
apparent want of any united or settled
annexation spirit, that vote of the town
would be in favor of annexation, since
there is doubtless strong
sentiment on the part OF agricultural
Johnston to let go the citified end of the
town. They would vote for annexation
of the city end, or of the town division,
because they have long felt that the
Olneyville district gets the long end OF
town benefits. While this is probably
not altogether so, aud while agriculiu-
raj Johnston, If it were cut off, might
find the advantage not so great as 1t now
anticipates, still that is the way agri-
cultural Johnston feels about it and so a
town vote would most likely mean an
nexation.
OF course, Providence doesn't want
Olneyvlle unless Olneyville wants to
come The metropolis would gladly ex-
tend its borders, but it wants only har-
mony and satisfaction in the family
fold. When Olneyville gets ready to
come along Providence will throw the
doors wide open and spread the table
with the good things Of city life.
