THE FASHION PLATE.

The black silk petticoat is an indis-
pensable factor in the wardrobe of every
well dressed woman.
A pretty dress for child has spaces
cut into the material, with ribbon or
velvet run through.
Foundation skirts for lace dresses do
not need to be very wide. Indeed many
ladies like them better when they are
narrow. For this reason it is possible to
utilize an old silk skirt that might not
be available under other circumstances.
Trimmings made Of very long strands
of beads are increasing in favor. A
novelty is girdle of passementerie, with
Is inch strands set around its scallops.
This brings the lower edge in scallops
around the skirt, and the effect is very
pretty.
A handsome imported costume is
made of brocaded satin. There is q very
wide single box plait on either side of
the front breadth, and the back is ar
ranged in series of narrow plaits. The
skirt is very full at the bottom OF the
back and very narrow at the top; there
fore these plaits are all in pyramid fash
ion. New York Ledger.

GETTING EVEN.
G&eeor WAC Had the Tables Turned

G1eeor Wac Had the Tables Turned
Him.
The wholesale grocer had the self made
mans rsvsrsacs for the excellent habit of
punctuality. he was always at his desk
whom the clock struck 8, and h1 expected
his young men to be a. prompt as he WAS.
His fayerite clerk was somewhat of an
amateur sport, and o'clock in the morn
ing was often too early for his comfort.
His charming personality, undoubted bust
ness abilities and success As a salesman
placed him high in the estimation of his
employer, who overlooked his slight but
frequent digressions from the straight path
of punctuality oftener than he did with
the other clerks and statesmen.
But the favorits presumed too far, and
the ''old man. was obliged to take him
severely to task. If you are not on time
tomorrow" said the wholesale grocer at
the end of the lecture, Il will send cab
for you and charge the expense to you"
The next morning was the morning aft
er n prolonged game of penny ante, and the
favorits clerk did not roll out of bed until
S O'Clock. He h ad forgotten the lecture
and was idljr TTith his second cup of COT
fee when-y sd drove furiously up to the
door, p . office boy, with a broad grin,
jun - 4r and ran up the steps.
G<eSbing another mans hat and forget
tin, that he still had his slippers on, the
young man rushed out OF the back door,
through the alley and caught a car. The
cab came back without him, for he had
reached the office first, and the 50 for cab
hire was charged up against him.
The success of the new rule passed the
wholesale grocer's expectations. The cab
has never been sent again for the favorite
clerk, and now that rule ID posted on the
walls of the Office.
A few days ago the wholesale grocer
oversight himself. His desk was unopened
when the clock marked s. The usual five
minutes grace was given. As the belated
grocer was hurrying down his front steps
the cab drew up and the Office boy stepped
10 the sidewalk. The clerks had hard
work to keep their faces straight when
the old man" entered the office at $50
o'clock. He said nothing, but when tho
cashier presented him with his weekly
personal account he o. Z. d the item to
cab hire for being late, ss,' with some
thing like a mild erin.-ChicaSo Record.

across the hideous voting booths which
formerly disfigured the streets of the

in different parts of the state they are
used as camping huts, while along the
New Jersey coast, from Cape May to
Long Branch, they are found fitted up
as summer residences by the sea. Origi-
