Intellectual play. The thing about it that
can be praised unequlvocaliy was the

remarks, most of them satirical. with
which Miss Fischer, by giving them in
| her own breezy way. compelled all the
laughter and sincere applause.
There is a newsboy in city hail park
who sells diamonds and lends money as
Il side line. Most of his customers are
walters and young clerks who want TO
| make flash" on the installment plan.
When he is approached for a loan he
takes the name and place of employment
| OF his prospective customer and tells
him to come around the next day. Then
/ he investigates the credit of the appil-
cant. and if he finds him safe lie is
prepared to do business. There are
about twenty men and boys who have
regular stands in the park. They aver
age about so a week from the sale of
papers. and many of them do odd JOBS
of sign polishing and porter work dur
ing the off hours. thus bringing up their
incomes to SO and more. The diamond
broker, however, is the nab0b OF the lot.
He is said to be looking for n store in
Sixth avenue in which to establish
cheapjeweIy business.
To meet the ever-ncreasing demand
for skilled female labor all over thc
United States New York is soon to open
a trade school for girls. BESIDES getting
half pay pupils will have Il chance to
learn more than one trade, and thereby
become practically independent OF the
fluctuations of fashion in the industrial
world. For example, girls who declare
a preference for the machine room will,

be done by machine, from lace TO leath-
er, while candidates for the passing
room may become equally proficient for
the manufacture of miady's opera fan
and bonnet box, of lamp shades and
bookbindings. Thus, if bonnet boxes be

out of fashion, a girl who learned to
make them at the trade school will be
able to turn, without loss of time or
money. to making lamp shades and to
bookbinding.
The making Of wax ladies'" for the
show windows has reached such point
of perfection that one would not be sur
prised if, like Galatea, they suddenly
sprung to life. Many of these figures
are now being made in New York, where
formerly they were almost exclusively
imported from France and Germany.
Just now the titian-haired WAX lady"
appears to be most popular. This is
probably because the golden sheen hqr-
monies with the many colOrs she is
Obliged to wear in the course of her serv-
ice as a glass of fashion and mold of
form" The makers of the figures are
apparently striving to introduce express
sion into the heretofore doll-like faces;
likewise some of the sinuous, life-like
| curves of a real woman are beginning to
show in the papier-mache figures. All
this, of course, is calculated to set off
the smart hats and dresses in an effective
and pleasing manner to catch the eye of
the discriminating purchaser.
The closing day of the Newport horse
show was more brilliant than any of its
predecessors. The Enclosure was crowd
ed with spectators. and all of the boxes
and seats We're filled. The feature of the
day was the championship classes. and
the championship ribbons We're all taken
by horses new to Newport. In the class
for single horses Alfred c. Burrage OF
Roston took the blue. In the hunter
class Henry w. Bulls Dragon was the
winner. In the saddle-horse class Mrs.
Burke Roche's Iris was the lucky one.

carried off the honorS. One Of the most
interesting classes of the afternoon was
the hunters. in which Mrs. T. W. Pierce
and Clarence Moore tied for first The
horses were sent around the ring twice
TO decide the tie and Mr.. Moore won.
Mrs. Pierce rode her hunter and he lost
the ribbon for his mistress by plunging
through the bars. Mrs. Pierce kept her
seat, however. and there was applause
from the spectators.
Heinrich Conried returned to New
York on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
from Europe after several months spent
in studying theaters and engaging new
actors for the Irving Place theater. He

For many years three elderly. kind and
charitable spinsters resided in the old
fashioned mansion at Fifteenth street
and Seventh avenue and lived practically
the life of refuses. 1t was known that
they were in independent circumstances,
but their habits were so retiring and
their personal expenditures so small that
none of their neighbors knew anything
more about them than that they had re-
sided ut 81 Seventh avenue as long as
the oldest mhabitant could remember and
that their arrival there antedated the
period when Greenwich village was
hamlet SO far uptown as to be almost
beyond the pale of civilization.
