Watch Chains Of Narrow Ribbon.

The watch chain is again In favor. No
longer is the jeweled watch fastened to
milady's corsage. Instead it is tucked
securely within her bodice. The chain
is a most ineonspicuous affair Of narrow
ribbon. The chains have a small silver
or gold clasp to hold the ribbons to-
gether, and catch at the end, to which
the watch is fastened. Narrow black
ribbon is used in preference to any
other. Gold chains hardly larger than
a thread are also used, and narrow
strings of tiny jewels are also dignihed
by the name Of watch chains.

der whose auspices Evangelists Whit
tie and Burke are conducting revival
meetings here today was selected as a
day of prayer in the city.
All the business houses were asked to
close from 2 to O'Clock this afternoon,
and the great majority agreed to do so
in order that the employees might have
an opportunity to attend the prayer
meeting.
Somebody suggested that the saloon
keepers also be asked to shut up their
shops during those hours, and commit
tee went around to secure their consent.
This committee was surprised as saloon
keeper after saloon keeper agreed to
close and allow his employees to at
tend the meeting if they desired
AS result, every prominent saloon in
the place was absolutely shut up for two
hours. On some doors was posted the
sign: CLOSED from two to four for the
prayer meeting"
The meeting was crowded, and drinks
were hard to obtain during the two
hours
