Talking To Them.

There is fish dealer ip New York
who has large number of rich GUS
toners. Once or twice week bis
store can be found full OF ladies who
are doing their own marketing. The
dealer is all smiles to bis customers on
such days, and very anxious to keep
their good will and trade. For some
time an Irishman had been coming in
the place, and after going from stand
to stand, and peering long and closely
at the fish, he usually wound up by
purchasing some cheap specimen of the
flnny tribe, and departing. This was
annoying TO the dealer when his place
was full Of customers, and 30 one morn.
ing when the Irishman entered and
began going from one stand to another
as usual, he called outs
Look here, my good man, what are
you always smelling my fiah for?"
The question was heard by every one,
and they all listened for the answer.
Faith, dim not smellin' thin; its

Pocket. books and oard.oases.

A pretty porte.monnaie--a pocket
book as 1t ia now called--and card
case are dearly loved by all women
who like to have dainty things, and
this year the bright-colored leather
card cases add dash Of color to the
gowns that is exceedingly smart.
Green In the different shades and
bright red are the iavorite colors. but
there are some exquisite white and
dove colors which, when worn with
the calling costume, seem n add an
additional touch of elegance. There are
two shapes, one oblong and quite
small, the other the size and shape Of
large envelope. The snake and lizard
skins are not 30 new as the grained
leather and pig-skin, which can bai
color treated so cleverly. When silver
corners are used. the plain, un
ornamented are preferred, in reaction
from all the gaudy effects We have had
In the white metal. Ivory and tortoise
shell are among the novelties, some
with tiny watch. which, by-ths'way,
ia very important addition to card
case; but fashion has not proclaimed
deciaively 10 favor of either of the
materials, which ure shown as novel
ties merely. Tho chain-work purses
of gold and silver meshes with ieweled
tops are very elaborate and amazingly
expensive. but the simpler, less showy
leather pocket.hooks OF oblong shape,
and small enough to carry comfortably
10 the hand, are really smarter. In
many instances pocket.books and card
cases are combined, and all card-casas
have pocket where change can be
carried; but even though visitipg-
cards are smaller and thinner than
ever, the pocket book large enough to
carry them without crushing the edges
is a little larger than is strictly
fashionable. Good pocket. books arc
invariably expensive; So is cheap for
one that will wear WELL Only very
simple gold or silver trimmings be
now In style, aud the beauty mustsre

but, like the average crowd that at

we're more women than men and good
many little girls. While they waited
they chatted giibly together, an oc-
casional voice rising shrilly over tho
general murmurs. Some things they
said were fairly humorous, and most of
the remarks took the form of absurd
suggestions and explanations. What
they said would have clogged phono-

running fire of harmless raillery these
shots were saved:

CHLOROFORMED AND ROBBED.
A Mysterious Case at isuthby station Friday
Morning.

Morning.
Eloise P. Preston, daughter of
farmer Edgar Preston, residing near
Ruthby on the Maryland division OF the
p, w. & B. railroad, was found in a
comatose state In her bedroom Friday
morning by her mother. Miss Preston
had been away from home for several
days visiting an aunt. Mre. Preston
had been in the habit Of calling the
children about o'clock in tho morn
ing, but thinking that they were ia.
tigued and had been up until late
hour, did not call them until Z o'clock.
Eloise did not respond and the
mother went to. her bedside and found
that she was in o deep stupor, and
callod upon a younger sister to procure
water with which she was revived.
A physician was called, and stated
that the indications were that oi
chloroformipg. A gold watch, with the
initials ''E. P. p" il missing, as is
also pocketbook containing about 81.
The supposition is that some persor
entered the room and committed the
robbery, using chloroform in the work.

OWE yAsu mr. a MONTH.
That's What swedes Are Used To, and Our
Mondays Appnll Them.

Wash day has terrors for the swedish
servant girl. And no wonder. for In the
land OF the midnight sun wash day IS
almost as important as moving day is IN
this country. 1t never comes but
once month there, so tho newly ar
rived servant, remembering how much
work 1t is to wash clothes in Sweden,
Is dismayed when she is told that every
Monday is wash day. 1t even is as
serted that rumors OF this reach Sweden
and keep girls from coming to this
country. They cannot grasp the idea
that stationary tubs, washing machines
and wringers work miracles on wash
day, says the New York Press.

obsrm-woman's Mos. peslrable Glt.

Ip one of our most intimate aud
confidential talks dear girl asked me
to tell her what think the most de.
sirable gift for woman. She spoke Of
several friends--one of them as having
grace OF movement; another, az rarely
beautiful, with brilliant eyes and
lovely complexion; a third, as accom-.
plished. playing and singing, and
speaking two or three languages he-
sides her own; and fourth, as very
clever We may multiply the list, and
as We look over our circla of friends
we easily SEQ that nearly every one has
something bright and individual which
commends her to US; but the sum OF
the matter is that the gift of all gifts
for q girl 10 expressed in one little
word Of five letters-charm. II you
insist on my defining charm, am
afraid ] will disappoint you, for it is
as difficult Of analysis as perfume.
| The better way, il | could manage it,
would be to show you somebody who
has it, as ! would show you painting
on the wall, or flower in the garden.
| Very plain girls and women are some
times endowed with this grace. l re-
member ono who was not pretty at all
ii little dumpy brown thing, who bad
not the art of dressing very well, and
who slipped in and out Of room as
softly and shyly as mouse, bless her
heart But this sweet Elizabeth was
popular beyond all the girls of her class
she was constantly In demand, and
nothing could be done without her. In
her case charm had several elements.
Her voice was low yet clear She never
made an effect OF insisting, as girls
with shrill voices do; her tones we're
soft and distinct, She was gentle, but
she was not overlooked in consequence.
She always knew where to find things.
At home her father and brothers ap-
pealed to her for the books and papers
which were out Of sight, but which il
was important to have or the instant.
Elizabeth could explain away little
yexations. She remembered peoples
names and faces--a very great talent,
and one worth everybody's cutivating.
Elizabeth was conaiderate and full oi
tact. | never saw her do rude thing,
or heard her say anything unkind. =
