Refused to Take More Pay.

A writer in Ainslee's Magazine tells
how Irving NJ Scott, the man who built
the Oregon, once refused raise in his
salary. The firm was then building the
Saginaw for the government. Donahue
was at the legislature much of the time
soon after Scott's arrival, and affairs at
the works were at skies and sevens.
Brodie, the foreman, threatened to leave
and did leave. and Scott, without au-
thority and although only engaged as a
craftsman, took entire charge and di-
rected things for two weeks until Dona-
hue s return. He introduced system in
to the methods and made affairs run
along so smoothly that Donahue was
pleased and made him permanent fore
man.
About this time Donahue offered to
increase his wages, but Scott thought
over the matter and declined.
eff l break my years contract with
you, he said to Donahue, III have to
take what you give me. l prefer to keep
my contract, and when it's up you Il
have to pay me what I'm worth
Donahue looked aghast. You're the
first man" he said, "that I've ever
known to refuse raise of pay"
Results justified Scott's foresight. At
the end of the year he was re-engaged
and was paid just four times what DON
abue had offered him

Pretty women on trial have habit
of dressing so as TO impress the jury,
but the highest type of this art was
naturally left for development in Paris,
where toilets are composed for the
occasion. An example of the art was
in evidence at the trial of Nine. Bian-
chini, who was accused of having dis
posed of her husband in an unlawful
way. .'Her costume, says chronicler,
"was the essence of outraged dignity
and resignation, and at the same time
of elegance, due to her position as a
mondaine Parisienne. She naturally
was all in black, with mantle close
fitting at the waist and high collet de
mongolie. The severity of the low hat,
with its ostrich plumes, was relieved
by her jaunty way of symbolizing her
confidence in the triumph of innocence
in that the left brim was turned up,
sheltering a little bunch of peacock
tips.

pork pie had scarf of changeable
pink and white silk gauze, brought to
the back and lifted up in big puff

always beautiful. Some years they are

seldom. This is an off year.
Some very becoming hats are made
of shirred silk gauze or fine net. The
whole brim and crown are of this and
shaped by wires only. One of this fash
ion was made for brunette. The
whole hat was of shirred brussels net.
Under the left side of the brim was
bow of maize velvet very much crushed.
A crushed and fattened rosette of the

the crown. The other side had large
tuft of fine black ostrich tips
Very dressy hats for carriage, church
and visiting, also for garden parties
and all occasions where the summer
girl wishes to look her very daintiest,
are of white rice straw with a sailor

with white tulle. Around the crown
and over the top Of it is an immense
rouleau of pure white malines, with a
snow white quilI and long paradise

For elderly women there are hats of
almost every shape of rough straw
These are for everyday wear, and they
are trimmed rather more simply. Lace
enters into their ornamentation large
