A Pretty Girl Up Against the Limit in .
broadway Car.

Broadway car was toling uptown.
Every seat was occupied and every strap
was helping some one to keep in position,
and other people were wedged In between
the more fortunate. On the platform
men were packed closely.
The car stopped and a pretty girl tried
to get on board. She was fashionably
dressed and wore an immense picture
hat, in which were big black plumes.
The men on the back platform crowded
closer together and made just about enough
space for a very slim person to stand in
The girl soon filled this space and then she
tried to get inside the car.
There was tall man standing by her
side and he wedged himself into the smallest
space to allow her to pass. There was
room enough for the girl but not for the hat
No matter how she tried to get past
one side Of the hat struck the mans
shoulders and the other side the car. She
twisted and turned but 1t was of no use;
the hat would not 60 through.
Finally she gave up the struggle, stepped

When last seen she was trying to get her

1t is declared that this years supply will

unusually large crop of bright red berries
There is more mistletoe this season than
in many years.
The New Jersey mistletoe, by the way,
is rapidly taking the place of the imported
article A few years ago the city florists
depended almost entirely on England for
their supply of mistletoe, and il was an
expensive luxury, a small sprig of it cost
ing from 81 cents TO 81. The Jersey
mist letoe is every bit the equal of the i'm
ported and costs one-fourth the price.
During the next two weeks thousands
of holly wreaths, bright with berries:

dreds of barrels of cedar and moss will be
sent out Of the Jersey swamps and woods

WESTERN FARMERS RETIRING.
Tneir Needs are Modest and Wants Few,
So They Enjoy Prosperity at Ease.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 2.-The Nebraska
towns are filling up with farmers who have
retired from agricultural pursuits this
wear to take life at ease and educate their
children.
Prosperity has prevailed on the farms
for Ave or six years. and the farmers OF the
West are showing their philosophical
view OF life by retiring before they are too
old to enjoy the fruits of their toll.
None of them is rich in the metropolitan
sense Of the term. They don't feel them
selves rich All they have ia a competence,
but their early life away from the tempta-
tions Of the town has taught them frugality
and they have no particular desire to put
on style. Usually when they come to town
they 20 out to some modest suburb where
the price of property is low.
They spend two or three thousand dol
lars for house and lot, fix things UP COM
fortably and enjoy themselves. Their
wants are easily satisfied. They have not
the theatre-going habit nor the society
habit; they have learned how to get what
they think is good out of life without in
dulging in many OF it's frivolities. Meas
ured by their ambitions and their wants
they are as we'll of IA any millionaire
possibly better. They have enough and
are satisfied

some hint Of trimming TO relieve it's dulness,
although the turnover collars and cuffs Of
the day furnish a very satisfactory relief
Of this kind. The prevailing taste for gold
trimming has, however, extended to blouse
dom, and a very large percentage Of the new
dark blouses have at least a touch Of gilt
about them.
Possibly this means only little gold
braid on cuffs and collar, and tiny gilt
buttons, but 1t does brighten sombre
blouse wonderfully. The gilt braids, laces
and buttons are legion, and on some of the
prettiest blouses one finds gilt braid en-
broidered by hand in silk, matching the
blouse material.
All kinds of embroideries are employed
for decorating these practical blouses, and
the use Of old Japanese embroideries for
collar, vest, cuff, &C., on crepon or silk
waists is an excellent idea. Small pieces
Of this embroidery may be bought at prices
not too exorbitant, and delightful effects
may be attained by their use, for these old
Japanese embroideries are soft and beau
tful In coloring.
A blouse in dull blue silk crepon, trimmed
in Japanese embroidery Of dull old blues
on bun silk, is an especially good example

Of this style. and the green and orange
Japanese embroideries harmonize well with
several dark shades.
More pretentious, but still with old Japan
ese embroidery for their motif. are the
blouses made from mandarins' jackets.
These are almost solidly covered with the
old embroidery, and frequently have gold
interwoven with the embroidery; yet, even
when, as in some cases, a gold dragon goes
swirling up the blouse front, the effect is
not 80 gay or spectacular as it sounds, for
the dull soft tones of the old embroidery
are quiet, despite the sometimes startling
designs.
Such a blouse as this may cost 500 or SIPS,
but to women who covet the unique 1t will
surely appeal, and at least It has artistic
value, is dark enough to be serviceable and
will wear well.
Even the brand new Japanese embroid
cries are not to be despised as waist trim
mings or waist materials, and they may be
obtained at prices far below that of any
domestic embroideries Of equal merit.

Nebraska land has very stable value,

She came in on an admission ticket, with
fine, large hat on her head, book and a
little bundle of papers in her hand and a
snug little suit case.
Having selected her spot where there was
standing room near a pillar, she took on
her hat, opened her suit case, which was
seen to be nearly empty; placed the hat and
bundle of papers inside, made the case
secure, turned it carefully up on end. seated
herself comfortably on the case, opened her
libretto and proceeded to follow the opera

Those who saw the little comedy looked
to see an usher or some one else in authority

Perhaps she had smuggled the suit case

NEVER FORGET THIS BELL.

Near Roanoke, Illinois, there is

might not please all his pupils
that is, the indolent ones. E. N.
Wheelright teaches district school
the teacher has to ring the bell
and build the fire and sweep the
floor unless he pays some ambitious
boy to do it for him. But this
teacher does not have to hire boy
to ring the bell, nor does he ring
it himself. No matter what he
may be doing at 9 O'Clock in the
morning, the bell sets up clatter
that no boy or girl can escape. Mr..
Wheelwright has arranged clock
which at the proper hour sets in
motion an electric apparatus that
sets the bell to ringing. The boys
of that district have no longe any
hope that the teacher will he so
busy that he will forget to call
school.
