Reform in Feminine Names.

A Presbyterian minister who is in charge of church in a fashionable section of the city, says he is gratified to observe that the plain, old-fashion- ed names are once more coming in vogue
 My attention has been called to this in christening babies. he said. The fancy names for girls are now very seldom used The Marguerites, Marics, Babettes, Maybelles-you know the style-have given Way 10 the good old names our mothers and grandmothers used to bear Still, there may be danger in going to the other extreme although as yel there has been no indication of coupling two names, such as Sarah lane ana May Ann, which used to be done. But Of late a great many girl babies have been christened with s'3t!. go0l old names as Ruth, Martlla Maria, Jane and the like. -Philad adelphia Record

Some Facts of Fashion.

The collars and belts to match, made of Russian ribbon in gold or sil- yer and with taffcta ribbon, the ends of the taffeta finished with gold or collar is made of, are as fashionable as when they were first introduced, and make a most satisfactory finish for the smart waists with which they are worn.
 The craze for wearing jeWelry con tinues, and there seems to be danger of it's increasing to an extent that will utterly kill the pretty fashion The pearl and diamond collars were never intended for anything but full dress, but are now worn with the most ordi- nary street gowns, while the dangling pendants of pearls and diamonds have assumed size and expense that should only be warranted by the jew els to be worn with the most elabor- atc ball gown Earrings are now also coming into favor. and of the most cX- rensive kind-solitare pearls sur rounded with diamonds; or turquois sapphires, rnbies, or emcralds, all the most valuable stones, and always sur rounded with diamonds that in them selves are of value The question of earrings is one that has to be solved by each woman for herself, but it might just as well be borne in mind that to the majority of women it is a style of decoration that is unbecom ing excepting with low neck gown and makes a woman look older than she does without this touch.-Har per's Bazar.

duced making eight hours days work
for all laborers in the employ of the
city and fixing their compensation at not
less than So per day. After being juggled
about few days the judiciary committee
recommended the passage and at last
nights meeting it was brought up for
third reading and final passage or rejec-
ton. Some of the new aldermen were not
acquainted with it's tenets and Alderman
Bryant gave them formal introduction
to all Of it's dips, spurs and angles Ask
ed If 1t included policemen, Mr.. Bryant
said 1T did and aldermen, too The or
d'nance was passed, but it still remains
FOR someone to determine whether the
policeman is labOrer or only police
man. If the matter is decided in favor
OF the former it will necessitate either
