Tiger Gratitude.

over the tiger, and he was drawn for

stout keepers then held the feet of
the struggling animal, while Professor
Houghton out away the diseased claw.

FEATHER AND FLOWER HATS.

At some OF the leading millinery
shops, says Harpe-'s Bazaar, are still to
be seen hats and bonnets made entire
ly of flowers. This, of course, is not
new style, but the shape is different
from that used for the last few months.
Violets are the flowers generally
employed, and in spite of.tteir be-
ing called flower hats, there ARE knots
of velvet twisted in and out among the
flowers. These hats are in toque shapes
or in big fat hats. Much newer are
the hats COMPOSED entirely of feathers.
These are made in turban shape, and
one of feathers of the green parrot is
very soft and effective. Anothe is of
grebe-skin, which is SO fashionable
with seal-skin fur this winter. For
tunately these hats present too serious
a disadvantage to make them univer-
sally popular-the feathers are rarely
becoming against the hair and skin,
SO that there is not much danger that
the poor birds will be slaughtered to

INVITATIONS THAT TEMPT.

Women with an inborn taste for
beautiful things, but with no extern
sive means of gratifying it, are this
season more than ever tempted by
brilliant display of inferior limitations
of very many of the splendid fabrics
and garnitures now the rage-spangled
decorations, velvets, furs, ribbons,
fancy jewelry, jet, feathers, etc. Sim.
pie articles of wear that are genuine
are always o far better choice than
elaborate limitations of tine richest. A
meretricious style never commends
admiration, and inferior goods uickly
betray their quality. Best material
with longer wear is the safest rule for
those who have not been overblessed
by fortune. But, while holding out q
warning against the purchase of sec
ond-rate materials, il Is not to be un-
derstocd that there are no valuable
aud beautiful fabrics and trimmings
that are not high-priced. Never has
there been an age or year in history
where so much that is genuine and
really desirable could be purchased at
SO low n price as now. 1t is in the
choice and opportunity presented for
choice for real valuable textiles that is
the secret and point of this matter. It
is not necessary for the woman OF
modest means, who loves, for instance,
dainty laces, to select poor imita-
tion of real handmade design. The
stores everywhere provide her with
beautiful Clancy" laces that initiate
nothing, but appear upon their own
charming, attractive merits, laces pro-
duced by almost miraculous intricate
machine processes-delcate of pat.
tern, dainty as q cobweb, and beauti.

FASHION NOTES.

To insure warmth silk petticoats are
being lined with lightweight flannel.
This is an exceedingly sensible fash
ion.
Wraps of black velvet are lined with
brocale, embroidered with jet and fin
ished with collar of white or gray
fur.
By far the prettlest glove to wear
with black jacket is of black dressed
kid, with three stripes of heavy white
silk stitching.
Entire costumes of brown velveteen
have vests of yellow broadcloth, satin
or cloth of gold, with additional trim
ming of marten, mink or sable.
The fashionable fun is veritable
toy. it is SO small. The empire is the
approved style in the tiniest size, and
it is more beautifully ornamented than
ever.
A blouse bodice of black velvet, GOV.
cred back and front withnn slattice

In IN article in Scribner telling how
a great department store is conducted
Samuel Hopkins says: The floor
walker, sometimes called an "usher"
(either name is equally inadequate as
descriptive of his duties) gets from 515
to $40 a week, aud he earns it fully.
What the buyer is to the inner man
agement of the store he is to the out
er. To the public he is nothing moro
than politely convenient living di-
rectory, who knows promptly that the
ribbon sale is seven counters down to
the left, and that rpet.sweepers may
be found at the end of the middle
aisle on the third floor. Such matters
rs these are the simplest of his duties.
To keep his salespeople mp to the
standard in dress, department, and
activity to be polite to everybody /;
to stand as buffer between the sales
people and the wrath of those who
have grievances against tho store for
goods missent or other mistakes made !;
to see that tho rules are obeyed; in
short, to be the arbiter of conduct
and store etiquette; these are enough
to guard him against enuui. Under u
combination of farseeing, shrewd
buyer, and courteous, hardworking
"aisle manager" as he prefers to be
called, with knack of managing peo-
Pile, any department will more than
pay its share of the expenses of the

The result is that 1t stands on par, in

accuracy of its calculations with tho U. s.

Is found year after year in the letters, re-

In various parts Of the world. In its per-

is considered q great honor, to become

The Czar supports these schools, but
