She then turns to add her entreaties to
those Of a woman who is urging her husba nj
TO buy her a piece of wearing apparel.

The man examines white shirt waist

"You can have it for five urges the lady,

The shawls that women wear are perhaps
one OF the most curio us sights OF this tene-
ment district. The analytic observer is
apt to inquire why and wherefore.
It is warm day when the rummage
sale opens, and yet for all the warmth and
ioyousnees of the early summer sky, these
women are wrapped in their shawls. Some
times they are ght ,crocheted affairs, me

do no injustice. there are fifteen beauties
In the forty-four.
Now remembering that they entered
on their long and arduous training at the
tender age Of 7. before it could be known
how they would turn out for looks, it is
seen that the ballet school Of the Grand
Opera raises artistes first, and beauties
after. There were, say, sixty little girls
in the first classes. Some of them have
run to leg and 30 become disqualified; some
have their private carriages already; some
have foolishly been tempted away by
higher salaries; while the mortally plain,
actively weeded out or passively discour-
aged, have gone into other occupations
This done. the first and second quadrilles
represent the hope Of the most famous corps

beauties are on the straight road to star

cannot go out and bring in pretty faces

CuTcHoGrE. L. l., May GA member
Of family which for 200 years has resided in
Mattituck and other points on the east
end of Long Islands north fork in going
over some family correspondence recently
came upon a letter written on Aug 10,
1874. from one Of her aunts who lived here
to another who had gone TO Bermuda. The
letter contains this curiously interesting
news record
-The Long Island Railroad is finally COM
pleted 1t terminates at Greenport and
is conn ected with Boston by steamboat
which runs from Boston to Greenport.
"The road runs through about a quarter
of a mil north OF us: there are two trains
of cars, which are said to be the most splen-
did in the Unit ed States. One Is the Boston
train. This passes our house about II
O'Clock A. NJ, toward Greenport, where ii
meets the steamboat, and returns about
3 O'Clock P. NJ. The other passes us about
in the evening, toward Greenport; returns
about 9 the next morning. They go from
New York to Greenport in three and half
hours"
Cutchogue has to-day the service Of the

it reaches in a run Of three hours and twenty
minutes from New York. returning past
here at 25s p. NJ while the other arrives
at 8'25 P, NJ, toward Greenport; returning
at $40 in the morning.
The letter 10 Bermuda also gives this
bit of information of the social rejoicings
over the completion Of the railroad

brated at Greenport on the next day; the
