male. But alasi as time crept on many
former belle found her partners at
the dances growing few and far bel
tween, until so desperate is the situ-i
alton become that Martha Watson bids
fair to prove the hardy pioneer Of a
new invasion of 1ove-lorn maids, dis
consulate in the quest of the single
man.
That this history of the causes pro-
ducing the surplus of females in Glow
ersville is no idle speculation is easily
proved by statistics. 1t seems almost
indicate to treat these fair victims
of unrequited passion as mere figures,
like so many head of cattle or bales
of hay, yet the fact remains that the
last census revealed a falling off in
the female population of every hamlet
in the county where Gloversville is To-
Gated, which has been almost exactly
balanced by corresponding increase
in the city of Gloversville itself.
If there still remain any lingering
doubt that the situation has been ex-
aggerated a stroll through any one
of the 125 glove factories in the place
will prove convi ing.
Hundreds of Machines. r.
Down both sides Of the large, welI-
lighted rooms a hundred or so ma
chimes work busily away at their task
of sewing together the dozen or more
pieces that go to make up modern
glove. There are all sorts and condi-
lions of stitches, big clumsy machines
that rattle noisly through the heavy
driving glove leather like so many
pompoms; quiet, ladylike machines
that purr softly as they glide swiftly
over the intricate seams on ladies'
hoY
looking machines that sew with light
ning-like rapidity long rows of over
and over stitches that finish the bot
tom of the Wrists-but all alike fed by
the slender, DIET, white fingers of huns
dreds of busy girls.
In other departments are still more
pretty maidens, FASTING the thin silk
lining to square pieces of kid before
the pattern is stamped out, sewing on
buttons, or affixing the patent clasps,
as the case may be. But all are alike
attractive and almost all downright
good looking.
There are men working in-the fac
tories, to be sure, but they are dull ap-
pearing, unimaginative males of we'll
advanced middle age, round of girth
and bald of head, who stand each be-
fore his stamping block cutting out
the patterns from the endless variety
of skins that have come from all over
the world with a certain stolid delib-
Grafton that marks them as men
whose f1ighty days of gay young
bachelorhood have been left behind
many, many years ago.
1t is only occasionally among these
workmen that you find, still wearing
even during his working hours, that
look of worried INDIGESTION, the still
unfettled male. They do not make the
thriftiest element, for even as they toll
their glances may be seen te wander
down that long line of whirling stitch-
ers, where sit all so equally attractive
the ten unlucky females that are his
share to choose frome.
They are not puffed up or vain,
these hesitating bachelors of Glovers-
vile, nor have they any cause to be.

worked out automatically a system Of
moving streets centering at the great
town hall and emporium which was to
be the public meeting place for all
business purposes. The idea of NOV
able platforms was not a new one, but
had never been elaborated in this way
before and extracts from the story with
a diagram of the street plan were re-
printed in thousands of newspapers.
Subsequently at the Chicago worlds
fair a movable platform scheme was
exhibited and also at the later Paris
International exposition.
In New York one of the leading
mammoth dry goods stores has for two
years or more past been fitted with
wide movable staircase at one of the
elevated railroad stations. Both of
these appliances have been found in
the highest degree utilitarian and sat
isfactory and it is not surprising to
find that demand for an application
of the idea on a wider scale has been
made.
For months past the commissioners
of bridges for Greater New York has
been puzzled to find a plan to alleviate
the pressure caused by the enormous
passenger traffic across the Brooklyn
bridge. Numerous plans have been pro-
posed, all Of which have been found
lacking in the power to handle the
enormous and constantly growing
crowds compelled to use the bridge I'M

At first thought this typical express

the opportunities of the ten young Ia

tual cause to be quite different.

From which conversation it may be
seen that 1t is an awful indecision that
is slowly but surely undermining the
constitutions of Gloversv1lle'S strong
young manhood. Really. under all the
circumstances, it is most creditable to
their integrity that they have not cut
the Gordian knot by falling converts
to polygamy.
