PARIS WOMEN WEARING
FLOWING GREEK TUNICs

There is a very interesting movement
on foot in Paris which is creating no
small sensation. A group of mondaines
have started the idea of reviving the old
Greek dresses and employing some dress
makers to carry out their ideas under
their personal supervision Of course,
the originators of the scheme reckon
upon a formidable opposition from the
countries in the Rue de la Paix, but
the great difficulty in carrying out these
Greek ideas seems to be more in the
choice of the material than in the shape
of the garments. For everybody knows
how simply the tunics were cut Unfor-
tnnately the material that caused the
dresses of the ancient Greeks to hang
In such graceful and delightful folds is
no longer known. We have crepe de
chine, cashmere and mousseline and soft
fabrics of all descriptions, but nothing
that comes near the flaxen fabric that
was employed in the podera, the tunic
that there is now talk of reviving.

PUTTING HIS WIFE FIRST.
Story of How n western Senator
Shared Good News.

A pretty story Is told in the San Fran
cisco Argonaut, Of how John G. Fremont
informed his wife of the joyful news of
his election as senator OF California in
1850. The bailoting of the delegates tool
place in San Jose, and Mrs. Fremont was
at Monterey, and as a season of heavy
rains was on, there was but little pros
pect that her keen desire to know the
result would find immediate qualification
Before a blazing fire that night sat Ere
mont's wife. She heard nothing but the
storm without till the door opened and a
man, dripping with rain, stood on the
threshold and asked, In consideration of
his sorry plight, if he might enter. 1t
was Fremont. He had torn himself away
from his idolfzing followers and ridden
out into the darkness and storm to tell
his wife, seventy miles away, that he had
been elected to the United States senate
Though it was late in the night when
he reached Monterrey, he was in the sad
ole again before dawn and on his way
back to San Jose. making in all a ride Of
40 miles.

DECLINE IN COTTON.
Feature of the Weeks Market at
Manchester, Eng.


MANCHESTER, March 2-The chief
feature of last weeks market was the
persistent decline in cotton, which caus-
ed a suspension of operations. Buyers
are hesitating until more settled condi-
tions shall have restored confidence.
Such trade as was done resulted from
the acceptance of lines hitherto refused.
rather than from fresh inquiries. The
strong advance in cotton during the lat
ter part of the week. generally attrib-
uted to the improved conditions in China,
stimulated business in yarns and cloths.
The latter showed increased inquiry in
most directions with enormous offers at
the previous lowest rates. Sellers were
flrmer as a result of the better turn over
many manufacturers being apparently in
a better position than most buyers had
imagined. so that business was less
easy to negotiate and easier as regards
price or delivery than had been expected.
In yarns there was fairly active de-
mand from users who did not care to
run risks, and a moderate business was
secured
