Uniquo Dress.

Tho latest addition to the fashionable
wardrobe is an odd garment mado with
out sleeves It's q chic affair, however,
and bids fair to be very popular. The
first bodice Of this description was born
in France. 1t was made of black chiffon
over black lace Flimsy bows of the
chiffon graced each shoulder. These
bows were the only semblance Of sleeves
which the bodice possessed But, odd as
the idea may seem, sets Of sleeves woro
sold with it. They were all of some
sheer material like chiffon or crepe do
shine, but made according to a variety
Of designs.
Ono pair of sleeves wcro Of white
chiffon rutiies and had q soft, billowy
appearance very effective. Another pair
were very bouffant scarlet puffs. The
bodice is to DO worn with different
skirts, and tie idea is to have the sleeves
match the shirt In color. The Parisian
modiste is certainly unique. - Now

Anect An Observer.
Ayoung man who is employed in
a big establishment In this city went
to the cashier recently and asked him
to put a small sum Of money in the
safe for him so that he could be sure
Of knowing that it would not get
lost. The next morning he appeared
before tho cashier looking very nerv-

The young man took his money and
went away looking much relieved.
This incident, related to an up town
group, reminded a man, now a mil.

woman. Nrovoment In nrerIeo.

Our sister republic to the south has
been invaded by the movement for tho
enfranchisement of woman, and Just
now the movement is being discussed
by the Mexican press with no little an.
imation. Tho immediate cause Of the
present interest was the refusal Of ono
Of tho city courts TO license a young lady
law student to practice before it. The
writers of Mexico have long boon urg-
ing tho broadening of woman's sphere
and advising ladies 90 enter positions
which had hitherto been monopolized
by the mon. They were advised to bo-
come saleswomen, stenographers, book
keepers, telogaphers. etc, and some
two years ago, when n young lady gradu-
ated at a medical school and was ad-
mitted to practice medicine, tho papers
of the country had a good deal to say
about the great advance in woman's 8
work
The great majority of them, however,
indorse the opinion of the court, which
does not want to sec n female lawyer.
They think that the legal profession is
too near the ballot box, and that when
women are allowed to practice law they
cannot well be hindered from voting,
which Mexico is a good ways from be-
ing prepared for yet New Orleans Pic.

amounts. At the Hodgson sale at
Christie's in 1898. among the old Sc.

plates realized over 3 guineas apiece,
but much more artistic articles may
be had from any dealer in modern
china at less than as many shillings
each. Even as far back as 1855 Ger.

into three figures, for tthe dispersal
of the Bernal collection in that year

pattern, IA inches high, with plinths,
sold for e1, 492 los, and a pair Of

purchaser i'll each case being Lord
Hertford.
But probably neither before nor
since did Sevres porcelain realize
such absurd prices as at the Hamil

were simply carried away by the
great fame of this extraordinary col.

have realized to their sorrow since.
