Feminine Diplomacy That Makes 10 Hard
to Avoid Buying n Hat.
An afternoon stroll through Baxter street IL
no longer made an exciting affair by the
pullers-in: but Baxter streets mantle has
fallen upon Division street.
On Division street the pullers-in are women,
and hats are the goods to be sold. Feminine
diplomacy takes the place OF the brute force
which made Baxter street famous; but the
w~ayfarer Is as helpless against one as against
the other. Men may pass unohallenRed through
the street. but a woman runs q difficult CANT
let. and IL she doesn't come out at the other
end OF the line of millinery shops wearing 4
new hat il is because she is n woman ofindom-
table character.
The pulleTs-in are buxom creatures. bare
headed and wearing shawls about their
shoulders. Why they never buy any OF the
hats they are so determined to sell Ia one OF the
mysteries OF the unbelievable east side. They
stroll back and forth. in front OF their shops.

customers. A decently dressed woman starts

lady protests: but. unless she is used to the

that the easiest and cheapest way to get past

DWARF JAPANESE SHRUBS.
A Growing Fancy in New York for tho An
cient and Costly Miniature Trees.

Dwarf Japanese shrubs have become quito
a fad with people who are able to follow 1t,
The fancy for them started at the exhibition Of
Japanese trained shrubs and trees at tho
American Art Galleries last year. Some OF the
specimens shown at the exhibition sold as
high as 5000 apiece. and the observant florists
were therefore not slow in sending to Japan
for more importations.
One OF the uptown dealers has a display on
the pavement in front Of his window. and moro
people, stop to look at the Gnarled yet beautiful
to the flowers, One, of these shrubs. not more
than two feet high, is said to be more than 100
years old. 1t has only tufts OF foliage at the
ends OF the branches. These branches. or
stems. are about half an inch In diameter and
hold between them q foot-lonE rock. o inches one
way by perhaps 4 inches the other. The stems
OF the shrub are i'm hedded in deep grooves In
the rock. The specimen is more curious than
beautiful, perhaps. and is valued at $50.
Other shrubs. fifty or sixty years old. have
been trained into fantastic but. never, toe. gro
tesque curves. They look as u they had fallen
out OF a Japanese print or AS u they were, big
trees. but at the wrong end OF an opera glass:
Most Of them are small pines or cedars. and
they are said TO thrive fairly well In this conn
try. Most buyers put them In vestibules or

the squirrel 1t hurried forward with exclama-

squirrel that had been sitting on the stone. but
1t drove away another squirrel which had come
from the opposite direction. Finally the child
stepped nearer with another exclamation, Tho
first squirrel turned now and tiptoed of. and
the man shut the box and put It in his pocket.
for there could be no more feeding while tho
