HARD ON THE PURSE.
Trimmings for Gowns Nowadays Cost a
Pretty Penny.

Trimmings for Gowns Nowadays Cost a
Pretty Penny.
One can hardly tell from the looks of
trimming, these days, how much it is
going to cost, but in nine cases out Of
ten it is safe to guess that if it is at
tractive it is expensive. In many cases
the trimming costs more than a whole
dress ought to. Feather trimming,
combined with fur and jet, comes as
high as eight dollars yard, and sells,
too, yet we are told that such trimming
is made of the odds and ends of tac-
tory, swept up by the thrifty makers.
Even though this sounds almost too
big to be true, it is pleasant to believe
such things about desirable accessories
that are unattainable. In trimmings
that glitter, jewels are at discount;
all that is wanted is sparkle, and SPAN
giles and rhinestones glow almost as
warmly as do gems, and at a lot less
money, though not as much less as one
might expect. Even in jewelry, mag
nifccnt pieces are made of rhinestones
arranged in such choice design and set
in gold that few can tell whether the
jewels are real or not. The brilliancy
of the properly-cut rhinestone rivals
that of gem, and there is left nothing
but the exercise of good taste in the Sc
lection of design and color to differ
entiate the wearer of cultivation from
the tawdry user of cheap brilliants. In
trimmings the imitation gem sails
under false colors to a less extent, for
therein real gems are not expected

NO NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Not Even the Labor-Day Act Creates Ono,
Say the Lawyers.

Not Even the Labor-Day Act Creates Ono,
Say the Lawyers.
There would seem to be no such thing
in this country as national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day,
which was set apart by an act of con-
gress in 1894 III such manner as to lead
the confding iayman to suppose it at
least to be national holiday, is not
such outside Of the District Of Column
hia, unless by state enactment. The
creation and regulation of holidays
have been left entirely to the legisla-
lures Of the individual states.
The act Of congress concerning Labor
day was approved on January %, 1894.
1t provides that the first Monday of
September i'll each year, being the day
celebrated and known as Labor day,
is hereby made legal public holiday
to all intents and purposes, in the same
manner as Christmas, January 1, Feb
ruary %, May 80 and July are now
made by law public holidays"
Clearly the proper construction of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing
upon the other holidays named. The
act making holidays of january /, July
4, Christmas and ''any day appointed
OF recommended by the president of
the United States as day of public
fast or Thanksgiving" was passed in
June, 1870, and was restricted in it's
effect to the District of Columbia.
These days are holidays in the various
states only as they are made so by the
various state legislatures.
The act of January 81, 1879, makes
February % a legal holiday, and the
act of August 81, 1883, does the same
for May 30, and both are restricted in
their application to the District of Co.
lumbia. The act referring to Labor
day says nothing about the District of
Columbia, but it does say that the first
Monday of September shall be a legal
public holiday, ito intents and pur-
poses, in the same manner as Christ
mas, January /, February %, Nav 30
and July are now made by law public
holidays"
The intents and purposes for which
and manner in which those days are
made holidays are expressly limited to
the District of Columbia, and so, by
necessary inference, is the act referring
to Labor day.
The misleading language of the Labor
day act has led to prevalent state
ment that the first Monday of Sep
TENDER is a holiday throughout the
United States by congressional enact
ment.-N. Y. Tribune.
