One of the daintiest devices of the

cred polka dots; the turnovers and
ends of the bow are bound with red
silk, while a curious latticework OF

in front and above the knot of the
bow. Other colors are used with'equal
effect for the bindings. Black and
white stocks are extremely smart this
fall and appear in great variety, says
the New York Tribune.
Black and white stripes in silk shirt
waists are as popular as the same COLI
ors in stocks; indeed, stripes of every
description are considered the most
stylish thing in both flannel and silk.
Roman effects and broadly striped fam

both large and small women to a great

the striped flannels have remarkably
pretty tints.

NEW YORK BUTTERCUPS.
The Pretty Name of n Club of WOmen
who Are Pledged to Say No
Unkind Word.

OF making women's clubs there is no
end. New York has a new society. The
members call themselves the butter
cups, says the Sun.
Why buttercups, deponent sayeth
not, but the aim of the society is a
laudable one, no less thing than the
cultivation and dissemination of char
ity and good will. No member is to
say an unkind word or to form harsh
Judgment.
Every member is to take whatever
comes with cheerful serenity and make
the best of the situation. Each woman
is pledged to spread abroad the club
principles. If anyone in the fold is
heard to utter an expression unbefit-
ting the sisterhood her fellows are to
say "Buttercups.'' The magic word
will bring the wandering one back to
sense of her responsibility.
A member of the society tried the
formula on mere man the other day.
He was talking before an audience of
women that included many buttercups.
He grew violent on the subject of Cool
gosz and expressed an unchristian de.
sire to make the assassin's punishment
. harsh one.
Some of the women applauded, but
one woman arose to the occasion. She
was buttercup, and, in the words OF
the statesman, she "seen her duty and
she done it" In clarion tones she
called out to the speaker:
"Buttercups!'
The man didn't understand. Perhaps
| It was natural that he shouldn't in.
tuitively grasp the meaning of the
warning word. He looked puzzled and
went on with the speech. but later he
asked the significance of the enigmatic
comment.
The buttercups say he was deeply i'm.
pressed by the explanation. He sighed
to be a buttercup himself, and just to
show that there was no hard feeling
the society made him a member. So
one little word may alter the destiny

How Chinese Became Laundrymen.
Chow Tszchi, the Chinese consul OF
this city, is anxious to raise the So
cial condition of his compatriots. He
believes they could fill clerical posi-
lions advantageously to business men
as well as to themselves, and obtain a
better standing in the country than
they now possess. He has given much
thought to the subject of why they
have made laundry work specially
here, and believes he has found the
reason. "When my countrymen first
began to come to this country" he said
sin say numbers, mining was the
great industry of California. and they
drifted to the mining towns. There,
I suppose. they were obliged to dc
their own washing, and not being
| strong enough for the neavy work OF
mining. they gradually undertook to
do the washing for the miners, be
eame expert at it, and gradually adopt
ed it as profession. Work of this
kind is never done by men in China. "

Pullman Ordinary SIeepers.

The tourist travel between the east and
the Pacific coast has reached cnorm Gus
proportions in the last few years, and
calls for special class of equipment To
meet this demand the Pullman Company
has issued from its shops what it techni.
ca'ly calls the pullman Ordinary Sleep
er." These cars appear similar to the
regular sleepers being built on the same
plan, but not furnished with the same
elegance. They are equipped with
mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillow-cases,
towels, combs. brushes, ETC., requiring
nothing of the kind to be furnished by
the passenger. Each car has stove for
making tea and coffee and doing slight
housekeeping and each section can be
fitted with an adjustable table. A uni
formed porter accompanies each car, his
business being to make up berths, keep
the car clean, and look after the wants
and comforts Of the passengers. In each
of the trsins which ard despatched daily
from Portland by the o. r. & N. Co. Il

this car for Chicago change to similar

Much Of the frst.class travel is being

In almost all the cases where men have
accumulated great fortunes. attention to

secret Of their success. Wealth did not

whelming them with opulence, but by
gradual acquisitions, and by saving, year

men squander. By economizing the lit

after-the pennies and dimes and quarter
