Every day, says the New York Sun,
sees something new in the bag line.
The latest is a small, long bag of ex-
quisite leather in delicate tint, paint-
ed by some well known artist. It is
useless to add that the price of one
would pay the rent for many a family
for whole year.

GESTIcULATION IN FASHION.

Gestieulation is the fashion now.

manner, says the New York Sun.

people have taken to making gestures.

In England many gestures are
thought to be undignified, but not so
mere There is no denying the fact
that they highten the effect of CONVEX
sation, if well done.
just any and every sticking about of
the hands or motion of the head and
shoulders will not do, declare the
teachers of gesticulation, and they are
pretty thick nowadays. Gestures are
like the alphabet, they form a lam
guage of their own.
These teachers furthermore say that
gestures are innate in the human be-
ing, like terrible thirst or any other
old thing, and that they merely have
to be brought out and perfected by
those who have made a deep study OF
the subject.
Gesticulation, in its highest form,
must convey to a person out of ear
shot general understanding of a
conversation that is being carried ON.

SHE WAS GRATEFUL.

Mr.. Browns business, says the
Short Stories, kept him so occupied
during the day time that he had little
opportunity to enjoy the society of his
own children. One day, however. Mr..
Brown, reproached by the wIstful eyes
of his 7-year-old daughter, invited the
little girl to go with him for long
walk.
She was shy, silent, small person,
and during the two hours stroll not a
single word could Mr.. Brown induce
the little maid to speak, but her Shin
ing eyes attested that she appreciated
his efforts to amuse her-indeed, she
fairly glowed with suppressed happi-
ness.
Just before they reached home, how
ever, the child managed, but only aft
er a tremendous struggle with her in
herent timidity, to find words to ex-
press her gratitude.
Papa, what flower do you like
best?" she asked.
why, l don't know, my dear-sun-
flowers. l guess"
Then" cried the little girl, BEAM
ing with gratitude, that's what I'll
plant on your grave"

DIFFERENT C0LORED

man for over thirty years, and as

trade, says the Milwaukee Sentinel
/ don't think you can say that they
ever were really out of style" he
continued, "even though in the last
few years the sales of this particular
feminine ornament have been small.
One of the curious fads in earrings
now is to have them with different
colored settings. For instance, pearls
are a great favorite, and a woman

THIS, but there is no accounting for a

just now is the latest thing in womens s

WOMEN IN KOREA.

At the present time, when the pos
session of Korea may. almost be des-
cribed as the question at issue in the
Russo-Japanese war, a few words on
Korean women will be of interest.
The lives of the upper-class women
in Korea are, we are told, passed in
absolute seclusion so far as masculine
society is concerned. AS etiquette for
bids their going out in the daytime
except on rare occasions, and then
only as the occupants of closed chairs
the entire day is spent within the
courts of the houses. Here the femi-
nine portion of the family employ their
time In embroidering and sewing, va
ried by the reading of light literature
and gossip.
Outdoor exercise may. however, be
taken in the evening between the
hours of s and IL, during which time
the male population is debarred from
patrolling the city. 1t is strange and
weird sight, travellers tell us, to see
the darkened streets filled with cloak
ed and muffied women, who can only
make their way along by the lamps
borne by servant escorts.
Custom DEGREES that at this late
hour women may be permitted to visit
feminine friends with-of course-the
consent OF their husbands, TO whom an
account must be given of all their
movements abroad.
But if the lives of the patricians are
! thus inclosed, the fate of their present
sisters is, in one way, even harder.
For, besides making all the clothing
for her household, and attending to
the cooking and domestic work, the
Korean woman of the poorer classes is
also compelled to ihusk and clean all
the rice required with heavy pestle
and mortar (no light task), to draw
water and to carry heavy loads to
market on her head.
In addition to all this, she not infrc-
quently works in the fields besides
spinning, weaving and looking after
the wants of a large family. 1t is
small wonder that at 80 the Korean
peasant woman Is prematurely old.
whilst at 40 she scarcely ever has a
tooth left in her head.
As the weak sex receives no intel
lectual training whatever. and is uni
versally regarded as mans inferior in
every way, 1t is small wonder that the
lower-class females are ill-bred and
! lacking I'm ordinary good manners, be-
sides being addicted to untidlness and
| uncleanliness of attire. AS q matter
of fact, the poor creatures laundry

Isabella Bishop tells us in the account

WOMEN WHO EMPLOY
PRESS AGENTS.

More than a dozen New York women
of assured position in the -Four Hundred
and more than score of women who
are on the fringe Of it and who are
working their hardest tc break into the
charmed circle, says the New York
Press, have press agents regularly EN-
ployed whom they pay from $50 a
month upward to keep their names be-
fore the public.
One of these society press agents with
the names of dozen we'll known wom-
en- on his books has handsome offices
up town and an income equal to that
of bank president or a successful
jockey. He describes the work he car
ries on as dangling" In other words
he pulls the string that make the pup
pets dance in the social world.
If the names of women who en-
ploy press agents were published the
public would be astounded. Some OF
these women want to get into the pa
pers simply in the sense of being So
ciety personages; some want to be kept
out unless their names appear in con-
nection with certain sets" some want
to be known solely in reEtion to a
particular society or fad that interests
them and others desire to became fa-
NOUS as powers behind thrones, as
forces making for the good of humani-
ty. The press agent as a rule does
his work SO skilfully that it is sell
dom known he is at work. He has
to veil his moves or his success is en-
dangered.
1t should not be supposed that the
society women have gone personally

motive.
1t is not disgusting to suppose that
girl is always and forever thinking of
possible husband? Do girls give up
dressing nicely ard doing themselves
UP with care when they marry and set
tie down? Do they not take as much
pains with their toilette when going to
oonsort only with women as when they
expect to meet members of the other
sex? Of course they do; and the real
fact of the matter is that girls are
a thousand times nicer and sweeter
in their thoughts than the great ma
iority of men imagine them to be.
There must be a touch of the fem
iuine about a man who can under
stand a young woman's mind on the
subject of love and marriage; and
the man who has not a touch of the
feminine in his nature can never be
throughly and perfectly manly.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Boy Fined $s and Costs and Thirty
 Days in Jail.

A number of bicycles have been stolen in Waterbury during the pres ent summer, and though the detectives have worked long and hard on each. they have not been so successful in regaining the wheels as in other years. The thieves have covered their footsteps well and have made fine art of their work. Among the persons whose wheels have mysteriously dis appeared are John Walker of Wash ington avenue and David R. Walker of 13O Clark street, brothers. David Walker rode home from work on Tues day night and left his wheel by the side Of the veranda. That was the last he saw of the wheel until last night about 6:15 o'clock when he was returning from work, he spied the wheel on the veranda of a house at the corner of Washington avenue and Porter streets. 4 boy about + years of age. who later proved to be Al fredo Jannetty, was fixing part Of it. David Walker left his brother to watch the wheel while he went to q drug store and telephoned for an off. Ger. When Detective Kennaugh ar rived he found the wheel and Jannetty and Walker, the latter holding Jan- natty, on Bank street. Jannatty was arrested. Jannatty said to-day that lie took the wheel away from q gang of boys on Washington street Tuesday night and had it in his possession since then. There was much dispute about the value of the wheel It's owner claimed that he spent $60 for it in 1900 and considered it worth $50 now
 Paul Summa, witness for the de fense. stated that he had had much experience with wheels, having been a bicycle racer and as such having purchased and sold a number Of wheels. He stated that new first class Tribune wheel can be bought for S45 and that secondhand wheel can command only $10 or SIP.
 James Buckley, a Derby bicycle dealer, furnished some amusement for the spectators After examining the stolen bicycle he was asked how much it was worth He replied: "I would not give $250 for that wheel as it stands Acting Prosecutor McMahon asked him if he owned the wheel, how much would he want for it, and he said: II would give it away for noth- ing" Jannetty was fined ST and costs and sentenced to thirty days in jail.
 As Officer Gabriel was passing by new house which is being built on Buckingham street last night, he saw Servirio RenalM enjoying the breezes on the piazza. As Renaldi could not explain his presence there he was ar- rested for trespass. The case was continued until tomorrow morning.

BALDWIN STREET
 BLOCKED BY IRON RAILS

Property owners on Baldwin street are very, much annoyed on account of the presence of the tiers of ties and long iron rails that. have been piled in the gutters opposite their homes since the trolley company commenced carting material on the ground for the surface railroad. During the rain storms of the past month they turned the water into their yards in some instances doing considerable damage. At the Mulvaney residence the water got its shoulder under the veranda and shifted it out of its bed, then tore out some of the stone work and rush ed into the cellar. Mrs Mulvanev was down town yesterday looking for Mir Sewell and if she happened to meet him he would have learned something about the situation in that district. The job ought to be completed or the ties removed into some of the lots where they will not be source of an- noyance to anybody.

ALLEGED BRUTALITY.
Farm Hand Tells Story of HI Treat.
 ment and Non-Payment.

Shelton, Aug 19.- Charles Mosier, a German farm hand, came to town yesterday from the farm of a man named Rantz, who he said lived a mile or more from Nichols, and told a tale which, if true, indicates bad state of affairs about that place.
 Mosier is a man apparently about 30 years of age, still strong and able to do good work, who says that he has worked for the past IS years about farms, but never struck any thing like his last place, heretofore. He says that he hired out for SIS per month and his board, but was unable to stand the treatment he received, and Tuesday morning he demanded his money, after working two weeks and one day. He expected to receive ST, but was offered $4, which he re- fused to accept, the result being abuse of tongue and fist.
 He says that in the melee he got the better of his employer, who he de scribes as a man about 62 years of age, but the latter finally elected him from the house, still refusing to pay him more than the $4.
 Mosier says that his food was insuf- ficient, consisting of bread, without butter, coffee without sugar and 1ib- eral quantities of sour cider. He made objections to this bill of fare, saying that he would rather have three good meals per day than the cider, but for this he received much abuse. The meat, which was scanty in quantity was usually exceedingly ripe" fiji fact smelling very badly. He says that the kitchen was occupied by not only members of the family, but by four ducks and some six or eight cats, making 1t scarcely place for peaceful meditation.
 Mosier wanted to secure the money due him, and applied to Chief Rob- bins for that purpose, but was recon mended to see lawyer, and left for Derby to secure the services of an attorney
