Growing the Professions.

Chicago. too. notices the crowding
in the professions. not as something
new, but as becoming intensified. 1t
is estimated that out Of total OF
1000 lawyers in Chicago 500 are
handling the litigation of the city and
only about 200 are making $1,000 or
over each year. The passing of the
national bankruptcy act. it is claimed
cut off a large and profitable source or
revenue for lawyers. While the leSl-
innate business of the courts has not
shown any marked increase, the influx
of lawyers from the country has been
steady and uninterrupted, and the
stream of BlackstouianS has been
yearly augmented by heavy contrl-
buttons from the colleges and unive:-
stiles. OF doctors the number in Chi
cago is estimated at 1000. If the
city had a population of 100000 this
would give q physician to every 3oo
inhabitants. which means that there
are four or five times as many p1ySl-
clans as are needed.

Holiday Costumes and Customs of Our
Grandfathers.

Early in the eighteenth century
that is, about 200 years ago-the
streets of New York, according to John
Fiske, were gorgeous with costumes, ,"
writes Margaret SauGster in Golfers
Weekly. "One eminent citizen IS de-
scribed as clad in long skirted coat
aDd knee breeches of cinnamon cloth
trimmed with silver lace; the coat is
lined with sky-blue silk, the hose are
OF dove-colored silk and the shoes
have large silver buckles. This
gentleman adorned his head with an
enormous wig; pictures OF similar
wig elaborately curled we remember
as worn by judges and courtiers IN
the days OF the Georges, and even
earlier, in the Stuart days. His hat
was q broad -Drimmed beaver, finished
with q band of gold lace. His SKIRT
was ruffied, his vest was of red satin,
embroidered with gold.
The ladies of that period were ex'
ceedingly fHe, and their raiment was
as elegant and as sumptuous as that
worn by the danes and demolseIIes ol
our present New York. Blue and sill
yer gowns opened over petticoats o.
black velvet trimmed with silver:
while their little feet were incased IL
high h-heeled shoes with huge rosettes
In that leisurely time, when people
lived in detached houses amid green
fields, and for many year afterward,
down to perhaps thirty years ago, OF
forty, to be accurate, New Years Day
was the fete day Of the year.
Every Knickerbocker family of the
least pretensions kept open house on
that day, and it was the rule-the
thing imperatively required by good
form-for the gentlemen to call on
the ladies and wish them the compli-
ments of the season.
There was q superstition about the
first foot over the threshold, and
people were immensely relieved If the
earliest caller of the year were OF
kiId likely to bring luck to the house.
