The college girls wrap will be a blouse
coat, fastening at the left side with large
buttons or hooking invisibly. These new
coats come in tans, blues, golden browns
and blacks, and are the jauntiest little
affairs in the way Of wraps that have
yet appeared. They are heavily trimmed
with braid on the collar. shoulders,
basque and blouse proper. The braid is
usually put on in up and down rows, on
the sleeves as well as the blouse part.
All have the Medici collar, for this fash
ion was altogether too generally becom-
ing and too comfortable last winter to
be lightly given up for the next season.
The large ties are worthy of very
particular mention. for they are being
seized upon by all classes to solve the
question of neckwear, which is hardly
sufficient any longer in the form of q
mere ribbon and bow. The newest thing
is a mousseline tie from eight to ten
inches wide and about yard and half
long, with ruff1ed, tucked or embroidered
ends. This is wrapped twice around the
neck and then tied in large bow, which
covers nearly the entire front of the
dress, and thus makes a very good vest
front. These come ID all sorts Of dainty
colors. or in white elaborately embroid-
cred. Some are plain white lawn or linen,
hemstitched and tucked. Others for
dressy wear are made Of heavy satin,
cut narrower and hemmed on each side,
and edged with founce Of lace at each
end.
The separate silk waist shows no signs
of giving up it's hold on popular favor.
Silk shirt waists are being sold in large
numbers for everyday wear, with blouse
costumes of cheviot or serge. The blouse
jacket is removed when indoors, and
there is the shirt waist, just as usual.
Plaid silk waists with shirt sleeves and
plain cuffs are trimmed like other bodices
and worn for rather dressy occasions.

The hundreds of career-seekers, as
we'll as the thousands who have dis
covered that there is no such thing IN
store for them, may be glad OF a few
hints from working girl who came to
New York four years ago with nothing
to depend upon except the ten dollars
a week which was dignihed by the
name of salary" This young wo-
mans experience has been quite va
ried, and the facts which she has gath
cred with reference to cheap living IN
large city apply just as well as to lie
in other cities as to that in which she
resided.
II have tried all varieties OF living

young woman. II was told when l ar
rived that it would be cheaper to 1--we
in Brooklyn; that all the men Win
families did their sleeping in the city
beyond the bridge on that account.
thought it best, at first merely to get
room and not to engage board, as my
work was in New York and l knew
nothing of my hours. I obtained
room for $3.50 per week and soon en-
gagged regular board for $400, making
$3.50. I happened to be so situated that
l could walk most of the distance to
and from my business. and my car rare
costs only SO cents a week. My
laundry was also about so cents. max
ing $3.50 for unavoidable expenses.
Il afterwards found, however. that
could get both board and lodging for
$5.00--a bonanza which discovered af-
ter my raise of salary to s15.00-and I
l.
Here, I met very agreeable young
lady, an art student, and we dwelt to-
gether in the same room in one board
ing house or another for two years.
All this time I was getting board and
lodging ostensibly for $500 week, but
owing to a. change of location my car
fare was more than three times as much
as formerly, my luncheons averaged 25
cents a day, and 1 very frequently
bought my dinner in New York for
the reason that at the end Of the day
/ was too much fatigued to take the
long trip to Brooklyn without eating
something beforehand.
Moreover, I discovered that I was
running down physically from the
strain of the long trips to and from
business every day. Men stand this
better than women. They are not u.s.
ually so finely strung. Young women,
however, no matter how brave and in
dependent they may appear, do in
stinctively rebel at the noise and jostle
of the inevitable crowd which makes
life almost uncomfortable for the young
girls whose occupations lead them over
the same course, and when possible
believe it is best to live within walking
distance of ones business.
"Just for an experiment I took a
little room on the top floor of very
nice lodging house on a quiet street
within five minutes walk from my bus
mess. The room cost $500 a week, but
/ found that 1 could get board for $500
making $500 in all, sum which was
actually less than 1 had been paying

BRITISH BARK WRECKED.

New York. Dec. News of the
wreck of British bark on Inaccess-
ible island, one of the Tristan group
in the South Atlantic has been brought
to this port by the bark Inyerurre.
Java. Captain Charleston reported
that on September 10 last he sighted
the ship J. b. Walker which signalled
the news of the wreck. The name of
the British bark and the crew were
not learned.
Captain Charleston is of the opinion
that the crew of the ill-starTed vessel
are aboard the Walker, as she dis
played signals that she was short of
water, indicating that probably she
had on board an extra number of per-
sons. The wrecked bark may be
either the Craighead or the Taymount

MRS M'KINLEY STILL LIVES.

Canton, o., Dec. 7.-At a. m. Mrs.
Mckinley is still living but seems to
be weakening steadily. There has
been no perceptible rally from the
last collapse which is now continued
longer than any of the earlier ones.
Mrs. Ducan, her daughter, says she is
growing weaker every moment and
scarcely dares to hope that dawn will
find the breath of life in her mother.
The aged woman's rest continues to
be unDroken and the evidence of
weakening is in the pulse and respira-
ton.
President Mckinley arrived at S:J5
this morning and drove ut once to his
mothers house. AS he knelt at her
bedside she revived sufficiently TO
throw her arms around his neck and
show that she knew him. The prob
ability is she will not live through the
day.

of cubs, and not far behind was the old
male.
Mr.. Jarrett gasped for breath and his
hair stood up on end as the bear stood
up before him and struck his head with
her right forepaw. He lodged the
blow the best he could, but the big
black paw struck him on the head,
scratched his forehead slightly and
tore long hole in the felt hat he was
wearing. With the other paw she
struck him in the chest. Mr.. Jarrett
put out his hand and showed the bear
few feet, far enough to raise his gun,
which grazed her nose as it went off,
and the woods echoed with the howl of
rage and pain which she setup
Both barrels were now empty, and
Mr.. Jarrett sought safety in a small
bush near at hand. He quickly loaded
up both barrels again with shot, but
had only time to get the cap on one of
them when the bear made another at
tack upon him. This time he aimed
right in front of the shoulder and fired.
The bear dropped to the ground dead
and cub jumped at him. He knocked
it down with the butt of his gun, Grip
ping it, and ran. The old male started
in pursuit, and for time there was a
more exciting race through the woods
than was ever seen at any driving park.
Mr.. Jarrett jumped big log and sped
on, but when the old bear reached the
log he stopped.
Running like frightened deer, with
lis hat all torn, and bleeding slightly
about the head, Mr.. Jarrett finally
came upon the other members Of the
party, who went back with him and dis
patched the crippled cub. The old male
and the other cub had disappeared.
The next day the men broke camp and
returned to civilization. They don't
care to hunt bear with shotguns any
more, and win look for squirrels near
er home. The old bear when dressed
weighed 165 pounds and the cub 30.

in the large cities it is a constant fight

After awhile the people of these small

when they see their property depreciat-
