BEFORE Porto Rico was annexed to
the United States, her laborers were
contented and happy, and such thing
as a strike was unknown there. But
since then, owing to the high price OF
what they have to buy and
the lack of employment, they
find it almost impossible to pro-
cure the bare necessaries of life, and
are forced to resort to strikes as
means to avoid starvation. The Porto
Ricaus now experience realizing
sense of the bad policy OF Humping out
OF the frying pan into the fire, and, in
consequence, are on the eve of revolt.

well adapted to the adjustment of

The new box-plaited skirt has the

is single, about three inches wide on

fourteen inches toward the bottom OF
the skirt, where 1t is confined by all

Many other forms of fullness are
being introduced, but the box plat is
in the ascendancy. Some excellent

using q great many side plaits. The
effect over the hips is quite as smooth

One Of the charms Of the present
fashion being eclecticism, one may
select for ornamenting the hair other
ornaments besides fringes without
being outlawed. Just what styles in
coiffures are most prevalent is re-
vealed in the following chat by New

deliberately puffed the length Of 1t on

she permitted TO stray ont on my
forehead, and then she inveigled me
into the purchase Of three distinct
styles of hair ornaments by the shrewd
device OF fastening them in among the
coils and puffs and leaving the mirror
and my vanity to do the rest.
