FURNISHED HOUSES.
Are Rented by the Fashionable for a
Short Term Season.

Short Term Season.
Now that 1t has become the habit of
New Workers to remain out of the city
for longer periods than they formerly
did, the furnished house has become
a much more important element in the
real-estate business. This same tend
ency has been noted in London, where
1t is no longer considered necessary to
the maintenance of ones position that
a house which is to be occupied for
only few months should be kept
throughout the entire year. 1t Is said
that Americans who go there for the
season are now in the habit of taking
a house when possible rather than
living in hotel at a greater expense
and with less certainty Of comfort.
The convenience Of the furnished
house may be very great one to the
tenant, but 1t is a highly profitable
form of enterprise to the landlords,
who, in addition to the advance in
price paid for the use Of furniture, are
in the habit of receiving for few
months the same price that would be
paid for whole year. The prices de-
manded for furnished houses are very
high, and they are dangerous specu-
lations only when they are not taken
by the beginning Of every winter sea-
son, which is commonly supposed to
be from about the middle Of November
to the first Of December. After this
later date the rent asked for the fur
nished house declines steadily, and
the profits Of the landlord are dimin-
ished. This loss is less in the case Of
those who are in the habit Of occupy
ing the house until 1t is rented, but as
a general rule the percentage Of loss
is likely to be considerable when the
house is not rented promptly. The de-
mand for such houses has been SO

Women are specializing upon the
possible effect on fashions Of the re-
cent costume revival of Camille by
Olga Nethersole and her company. The
stage has been responsible for the set
ting of many a style. Will it be ac-
countable for the readoption Of any
phase of the 1910 modes?
Seemingly not in skirts. For the
tendencies Of the petticoats of women
in 1898 are to cling closer and closer.
In 1870 skirts were as bouffant as stiff
fened petticoats in exaggerated num-
bers could make them. The period
was that OF great amplitude, just pre-
ceding the introduction of the enor-
nous and ridiculous hoop.
Miss Nethersole took an artists lib
erty not to conform precisely to fash
ions. Camille must be sad, whatever
sacrifice is made in the modes. While
her skirts in this late Camille revival
were full, they were not stiffened.
Minor members of the cast illustrated
petticoat fashions accurately. Skirts
were so huge they tipped and made rev.
Citations as the wearers stepped near
chairs or tables. This caused laugh

Nethersole's wisdom in not adopting
them for her saddened heroine.

GOLD AT THE MINT.

For the first half Of the present month
gold receipts at the Denver branch mint
show sharp falling off, says the Rocky
Mountain News, us compared with the
corresponding period in 1898. This re-
suit is traced directly to the smelter
shutdown. there being no bullion depos-
it's from the Omaha Grant or Globe re-
fineries. The receipts for the two weeks
foot up S350,973.0l, compared with $780,
96657 in 1898, the loss equalling S404,-
993 56. When the trust smelters are
again fully under way it is expected that
most OF the refining will be done at the
Globe plant in this city, which was fin.
ished in December, 1897, and is entirely
up to date. The refinery owned by the
Guggenheims at Perth Amboy, N. j., is
on the same basis. The inventor. cele-
brated German chemist, died on his sea
voyage home after testing the Globe
plant, which he pronounced equal to the
best in the world. Mint receipts will
show large gain after the first Of next
month.
