MAKING CANES TO ORDER.
Demands Made Upon WOrkmen by
Changes of Fashions In Walk
ing Sticks.

Fashions change in canes, as they
do in everything else" said a man.
ufacturer who knows all about the
fashionable trade up town, says the
New York Times. Last year our
customers were calling for rough
wood in its natural state, without
any Ornamentation. They wanted
canes made almost as thin and as
light as whangees. So many cheap
limitations had been made of silver
mounted smOoth-wood canes that
men of fashion would not look at
them. This year we are returning to
silver mounts, but in designs made
to order that it will be almost out
of the question for importers of
cheap German silver to initiate. In
umbrellas the handles of rough wood
still hold favor with the men. It Is
no longer fashionable to decorate
them with initials. A man likes an
umbrella that he can pick out at
sight from a bunch of others at his
club or elsewhere. Some men will
have the crooked handle so that they
can hang their umbrellas on a hook
in hat rack, and we have to manu-
facture a few of them to meet the
demands of the trade. Women al
ways go in for something odd, and
usually expensive"

WANT WAXED PAPER-BAGS.
Customers of the Grocer Insist Upon
Having Their Purchases Put
Up In Them.

Il should like to get my hands on
the man who began to line the or
binary paper bag of commerce with
waxed paper" said an uptown gro
Ger, reports the New York Times.
Women will not have their orders
sent home in anything else now. The
coarse brown paper bags that our
mothers used to get are almost out
of business. If woman wants to
keep a thing dry she asks to have
it sent in a waXed paper bag. If she
wants to keep it moist she also wants
waxed paper bag. Tea and coffee
go into waxed paper to keep them
dry and fresh. A nice head of let
tuce calls for waxed paper to keep
it moist. Cakes, candies and confec-
tionery of all sorts must be put in
wax paper bags. Sugar and -four
are about the only things for which
we can use the old-fashioned bags.
1t was once only a fad in the trade,
calculated to please somewhat fas-
tidious customers who wanted to
carry a small parcel home without
soiling their gloves. Now it is a
demand in the business, even for de-
livery orders"

LACK OF FOREIGN TONGUES.
American Women as a Rule Do Not
Acquire Knowledge of
Other Languages.

A serious defect to the education
Of most American women is their
failure to acquire in their youth con-
Versational facility in other lam
guages than their own. Many girls
include foreign tongue or two in
the list of their studies. but it is
simply eye skill that they secure,
ability to read and write the lam
guage with varying degrees of excel
lence. When the ear test comes it
Is the exception when they are not
almost helpless, says Harper's Bazaar.
An English girl is not considered ed
ucated until she is fluent in at least
one other than her native language,
and she often speaks two or three
easily. A trip abroad illustrates and
emphasizes the fact that Americans
are very provincial in the matter of
languages. In group of foreigners
taken at random, German, French
and Italian, together with English,
one of the hardest tongues to learn,
will be heard interchangeable among
its members; it is not until an Amer
lean joins the group that the talk
through courtesy to his or her linn
itations, becomes restricted to En-
glish. In Sweden, French, German
and English are obligatory studies in
the curricula. The kindergarten
children are taught the language in
delightful fashions. the girls with
their dolls and kitchen-garden
classes, the boys with games and
sports and the like.
