A BELL MODEL.
Some beautiful importations in gowns
and wraps were shown by "a we'll
known Fifth avenue house. With the
gowns great chs nges were observed in
the cut OF skirts, which, in wool and
cloth instances, are now quite narrow
as compared with those of even two
months ago. A bell model with only
three seams is a favorite one for skirts
in these stuffs whether made plainly
or trimmed. The shape of this is some
what on the order of the old circular
skirt, except that there is a narrow
front gore to give a little stand off
fling at the bottom. Sides and back
are in one, the backs meeting in a bias
seam; but where one of these skirts

FEEDING THEIR EMPLOYEES.
New York Business Men Establishing

A dozen or more of tile big corporations

portunity to take drink. By serving lunch
in the building the company makes up in
time what 1t may lCSe in the running ex-
peUSes of the restaurant. Moreover, their
employees are better served. For instance,
the Western Union people, who employ many
men and women in tiieir main building,
have large restaurant, and it charges
just enough TO cover the cost of the meals
served there. These meals are prepared
in the company's own we'll equipped kitchen.
The Chase National Bank employs caterer
who has his warming kitchen in the cellar.
but cooks his food outside Of the building.
The officers of the bank have one dining
room and the clerks have another. The
Fourth National Bank has excellent res
tauraDt accommodations and its caterer
cooks his food In the building. The New
York Life Insurance Company and the
Mutual have good-sized dining rooms for
their employees; no outsider is admitted.
Most of the companies that provide lunches
for their employees allow them but half an
hours time at noon. Many of the big bank
ing and brokerage firms in Wall and Broad
streets have contracts with caterers to
furnish so many lunches every day.

Some of the letters that Mayor Thacher

A letter was received from q negro away
down South, who. Mr. Monahan says. has
been dead for thirty years-not literally a
corpse, but deceased as far as his grip on
hustliDg, progressive. nineteenth century life
was concerned. This man believes that
slavery is still au institution in this great
land, and is ignorant of the glorious fact
that the masters whip hasn't cracked for
thirty years. He never heard OF the Fresi-
dents proclamation, never knew that the
North had whipped the South, aud that a
million lives lad been sacrificed 10 free the
