Wien the attnck was made on Sidon,

necessary for. the British troops to ad-

the approach. The men were unwilling
to expose themselves TO certain death.

dressed In full uniform, stepped for

that his false teeth. which lie had

WEDDING GOWNS FoR RENT.
Curious Shop supplies tho East Side
with Suptlai Flnery.


with suptiai Finery.
This is the aluring sign on the out
side of little shop in Market street
which attracts the attention of young
women OF the east side whose blissful
ant1cipations of marriage are some
what alloyed by their inability to pro-
vide themselves with the bridal finery
which is the desire of every feminine
heart, irrespective of outward rank or
condition, says the New York Press.
DOUBTLESS there may be Just as much
sentiment and sacredness in a mar
riage ceremony wherein the bride
wears du!l-colored gown that has
seen service under other circumstances
as II she wore shimmering folds of
satin, but the satin gown will be
coveted object none the less, even
when known to be unattainable. The
proprietor of the shop in Market street
does not pose as a philanthropist. but
she supplies a demand not otherwise
provided for. Shrewdly guessing that
satin only would be far enough be-
yond the reach of the average east side
bride to tempt her to hire dress for
wedding, she keeps no other kind on
hand. The satin. however. is of va
rious grades and prices and the gowns
vary in elegance of style. You want
a wedding dress?" she observes as an
embarrassed young woman makes
known her business. Yes, have
EN-. What kind do you want? You
want a new one, never worn before
and nice? That will cost you S12.
Too much? Why. the dress is elegant,
full and long, and beautiful lace on it.
Yes, / supply veil with that and these
beautiful flowers" taking a cluster of
artificial orange blossoms from the
case. "Of course, If you want some
thing not so elegant, l give you nice
dress for $40 or maybe $S." New"
Yes, clean and nice" How much
for one that's been worm" "Oh, S.
or Sc. Not dirty, either; Just little
about the bottom. l got one worn
only three times. by nice young ladies,
too" II the bride-to-be is anxious to
make an impression on her acquain-
tances with the splendor of her bridal
finery she has the dress sent home
several days before the wedding and
displays it as the chef-d oeuvre Of her
limited trousseau. There are those
who may guess that it is only tenn
po-ary possession of the bride, but any
suggestion to that effect is indignant
ly spurned. The owner OF the we'd
ding dress never loses sight of it un-
less she has ample guarantee of the
responsibility of the parties hiring it,
and when the ceremony is over she is
on hand to take care Of it, and the
bride has no further worry about it.
Once in while the gayety at a we'd
ding where there is hired gown be-
comes somewhat boisterous, and in the
confusion there may be spots or even
rents that mar the pristine freshness
of the garment, for every one Of which
madame demands extra compensation;

where the prairie dog gets his drink.

THE LONE WOMAN TRAVELLER.

The new woman" doesn't propose
to miss the delights of travel simply
for lack O a protector. She knows
how to take care of herself, and when
she starts off on little journey nova
days 1t isn't with the nervous dread
that something's going to happen be.
fore she reaches her destination-t
ever she does. but she proceeds at once
to make herself comfortable and TO
thoroughly enjoy her little rub up
aglinst the outside world.
But although she rests secure in a
delightful feeling of safety, it has
never occurred to the general woman
that mailing her to travel in safety"
is business all in itself
She may have heard, for example.
that the grea. New York Central
Railroad is the only route in the Unit
ed States that is completely equipped
with the world-famous lock and block
system of signals. but that doesn't
mean anything to her until you ex-
'iain that by this system every foot
lover which she travels is carefully and
increasingly watched and signaled day
and night. and that collision Is prac-
tically impossible, because train can
not enter a given block or section un-

that even IL there should be another
train following on the same track the
engineer knows all about it through
the electric telegraph. which is part
OF the system, thus making assurance
doubly sures
II the id woman happens to be
going to New York City she need have
no dread Of landing alone in the con-
fusion Of big. strange place II she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one Of the
red-capped attendants-free service
who will carry her bag. answer her
questions and show her to cab. car or
elevated train.
Another thing, she lands right in
the heart Of the city within a step Of
dosen or more of its leading hotels
and she should bear In mind that this
is the only railroad depot in all New

The New York Central might aptly
be called 'the lone woman's route. -
