The cutlery IS of iron, and the spocns OF
nothing better than German silver, and
the majority of tin. In point of equip
ment the place is no better than the ten
cent hash" houses, but each customer
represents an income of not less than 81
each noon. The place is SO expensive
that it is virtually but rich mans
lunch club.
At another place, a saloon restaurant
on Fifth avenue, the prices are so high
that the attention of strangers are called
to them before they are served, so that
there may be no chance of a dispute over
them after the meal has been eaten. So
limited is the patronage at this place
that the proprietor's wife does practi-
cally all OF the cooking, and when the
patronage gets larger than she can care
for, prices arc raised so as to stop part
of it.
Chinese restaurants are becoming
more and more popular every day. One
establishment on Clark street serves
chop-sooy to more than 500 patrons
every noon. In numbers these estab-
lishments are growing rapidly, there
being at the present time more than
dozen in the city that are coming money
for their celestial proprietors.
Small French restaurants are well
patronized. They are especially popu-
lar with the bohemian classes, including
actors, artists, writer's and musicians.

the wild carnivora often suffer pitiably.
When they approached it turned up
on them, but was so nearly frozen and
famished that it could hardly stand.
Holcom was about to dispatch the loup-
cervier when the idea Of capturing it
occurred to him. Manice brought COW
blanket, which Holcom threw over the
weakened animal; and with no great
risk or exertion they were able to pick
it up and carry it into the barn.
Although ordinarily, the lynx is one
of the fiercest and most intractable of liv-
ing creatures, this one offered little re-
sistance, and was put in a high-sided
stall, where they confined it by mailing
Stats across the entrance. They gave
the loup-cervier bed of hay, and threw
in bones and scraps of deer meat for it
to eat Its hunger was Unsuitable.
Under the influence of food and
warmth its apparent meekness under
went great change. When Holcom or
Manice approached the Stats, even when
bringing food, the lynx would dash at
them, screeching in such an excess of
fury that the poor COWS and sheep went
nearly wild from fear.
The children were in great fear lest
the animal might break out in the night
and kill their stock; and they were now
heartily sorry that they had not dis
patched it.
During the eight days that elapsed be-
fore their parents returned Holcom and
Manice passed through every possible
phase of anxiety and worry over their
loup-cervier. Nor were their troubles
at an end when their father and mother
came back
Finally the lynx was sold to trader
at Three Rivers, who had made market
for it in Montreal. With much difficulty
it was put in a crate and shipped by rail:
but Holcom learned afterward that it had
broken out of the crate and given the
tra1nmen SO much trouble that, on
stopping at way station, they opened
the car door and letit go.-Youth's Com

lin frocks are very different matters, es-
pecially this season, for the cottons will
show fairly short skirts and the muslins
long trailing ones.
Let us start, therefore, with the useful
and inexpensive cottons, which have
much charm of their own, and are de-
lightfully becoming to any woman not
past her first youth. Now the majority
of us certainly do not wish to go to a
high price for the cotton frock, conse-
quently the best plan is to get one dainty
little zephyr stripe made by good
dressmaker and to have the others cop
led therefrom, for the skirt of the cotton
frock is all-important. The bodice do
not consider nearly SO difficult, indeed,
| always give the same advice concern
ing it, and that is, have nainsook or
washing silk slip and arrange your
dainty blouse bodice over it, being al
ways careful to finish it with a tidy and
smart waistband. There is little diff
ference between the cotton bodice and
the shirt for morning wear
And now to consider the skirt, Here
advise washing silk or nainsook pet
ticoat, made plain over the hips and full
al the hem, and of exactly the same
length as the overskirt. TO look neat
and be practical the skirt must clear the
ground all round. II you be slight you
can wear the round, gagged skirt; if in
clined to stoutness, let me advise you to
have your skirt just eased in on the hips
and at the back, but kept plain in the
front, and finished with three plain
tucks or deep hem at the feet.
These separate blouse bodices and
unlined skirts wash beautifully and do
not get pulled out of place like those
made on tight Innings. The same thing
applies to inexpensive delaines and
French nanneis.
Then we come to the question OF mus
lins; again would recommend bright.

Crazy Flicker Addicted to Drilling In

Strange Things.

Mr.. Burroughs somewhere has said
that if the flicker ever goes crazy he
will go crazy. boring holes. Now l
never doubt anything Mr.. Burroughs
says about birds and beasts, and SO for
good many years l have confidently
expected that if ever l found a crazy
flicker should find him, as Mr.. Bur-
roughs predicted, boring holes.
OF course never expected to find a
real crazy flicker, though have long
been convinced that the whole flicker
family is queer and, indeed, somewhat
crack-brained.
But have found one-a real crazy,
insane flicker; and he was boring holes
boring holes in tin rain pipes, for he
seemed to have been possessed.
He appeared last spring in Newton, {.
beautiful suburb of Boston 1t was in
the springtime, and Highhole (High-
hole is one of his six common New
England names), inheriting delicate
ly balanced mind, was drilling into the
rain pipe. Doubtless he thought he
was preparing place for a bride. Now
the average young flicker bride is
about as "spoony" and as ready for
love in cottage" as any bride; but
have yet to see one who would go To
the length of a rain pipe.
No; the young flicker was mad, in

are trusting for their inspiration, at the
moment, especially where the modes for
mademoiselle are concerned. 1t is all
these dainty, tiny flowers, that are
chiefly in demand for trimming young
girls hats, and they naturally, there
fore, play an important part in that
group of sketches, which will be found
upon this page, repre- senting three very
novel and dainty examples Of millinery
specially suitable for summer.
The sketch on the left hand side of
the group suggests hat which would
be quite appropriate for Sunday best,
for young girl of Is or 16. 1t could be
made in any of those soft fancy straws
which are so much in vogue this season,
and which, with a few deft touches of the
fingers, can be bent in and out, and, in
fact, moulded into almost any shape,
which happens to be becoming to the
face of the wearer. In this case, the
shape is bent into number of vandyke
points, which have something the APP
pearance of the petals of flower. Car
ried out in mixed pale green and white
pretty. The trimming should consist of
three large rosettes of soft Louisine silk
ribbon, in some shade of green, which
should either match exactly or else har-
monte with the green of the straw. In
the center of each rosette there is tiny
cluster of flowers. These flowers might
be either forgat-me-nots, pink-tipped
daisies, Parma yiolets, or very small
Banksia roses, according to the color of
the frocks and blouses, with which the
hat will be most frequently worn.
The second sketch, which comes lit
tie higher on the right, shows one of
those picturesque lace hats, always so
becoming to youthful face, and never
out of fashion. The lace is supported
underneath, of course, by wire shape,
and on to the crown of this shape, the
lace is gathered the crown being first
lined with two or three thicknesses OF
chiffon or mousseline de sole. Two
gathered frills of the same lace fall
softly over the brim, while round the
crown there is a wreath of flowers, form
ing kind of floral ruche, with the bios
some massed closely together. Here
again the choice of flowers must depend
upon circumstances, but can imagine
this hat looking very pretty with a
wreath either of rambler roses, or of
pale blue and pale pink convolyulus

Where the Women Eat.

Thousands of women shoppers, take
luncheons at the department store res
taurants every day. The grill and tea
rooms at Fields occupy one entire floor
stretching from Washington to Ran
dolph street, and in it 1880 people can
be served at one time. 1t is crowded to
its full capacity every noon, and SO
cents is a comparatively small check.
All of the big department stores have
restaurants of the same style, though
on a more modest scale so far as size is
concerned
Many of the department stores con-
duct restaurants specially for their en-
ployes, and in them the employees can
secure excellent lunches for very small
price. More than 1000 people are fed
in Fields employees restaurant each
day.
For the women who work In the bust
ness district the lunch problem has been
solved by the establishment of women's
lunch clubs. The first Of these was or
gained as charity, but it now needs no
assistance from it's wealthy sponsors,
for it is entirely self-supporting.
There are some Is of these lunch clubs
in the city into which the girls pay a
small monthly fee. usually rs cents, for
their membership, and this gives them
the benefit not only of the cheap prices
which the clubs are able to make, but
the privilege of the rest rooms as we'll.
At these clubs all expenses are cut to
the minimum. They are run upon the
cafeteria plan, where each girl takes her
plate to the center and is served. thus
saving the employment of walters. The
charge for items is in pennies rather
than nickles and dimes, and the check
| paid at the cashiers desk is quite as
| likely to be 16 as Is cents.
The MONDAY Rest is probably tbs
largest of these clubs, and has mem.
bership of more than 1880. The tota
membership of these MONDAY lunch
clubs for women will run close to 5000.

Popular Eating Places.
Popular Places.

Chicago.-It is safe estimate to say
that not less than $4,000 is spent for
lunch every week day in that little
section of Chicago called the downtown
district. That section is less than one
mile square, but within it there are
easily 100000 people to be fed each
noon, and this number does not in
clude the strangers that may be in the
city, which would easily add another
10000.
What to eat for lunch, where to eat
it and what to pay for it, is problem
that must be solved by this 100000
people each week day. The majority
of the hungry solve the where to eat
it" by patronizing the bakery lunch
rooms, where, perched on stool at a
long counter, they spend an average of
20 cents, each for rolls, pie, cakes,
sandwiches and other items to be
found on the varied menus of these
places.

Feeding the Minority.

While it is the minority who eat ex-
pensive lunches, yet it is the minori-
ty that bring the average price of
lunches up to considerable figure,
and the average is steadily increasing.
Five years ago the high-priced res
taurant was unknown in Chicago, save
to the wealthy few. Then they wore
as exclusive as the clubs, Restaurants
such as Delmonico's, Martins, Rector's,
and others of the same class in New
York were unknown in Chicago. ST..
Huberts chop house catered to lin
tied number of epicures Two or three
other places of similar character strug-
sled along as best they could in an eff
zort to make ends meet. Kinsley's, Rec
tors Chicago establishment, the Boston
oyster house, and one or two others
filled the demand for after theater sup
pers, but the prices We're mild in com
parison to what New York pays, and
there was no comparison in point of
service.
Where ten years ago there were less
than half dozen passable restaurants,
there are to-day 20 good ones, charging
high prices, with practically unlimited
menus in point of variety, and excellent
service. Nor does this 20 include the
grill rooms of the hotels like the Aud
itorium, the StratforS, the Wellington,
and others, that are even more expensive
than the highest priced restaurants.
So great has grown the demand for ex-
pensive and elaborate service that Rec
tor has closed the establishment he has
operated in Chicago for years in order
to raze the old building and erect upon
its site a new structure, which, when
completed, will contain what is expected
to be the finest restaurant on the Amer
lean continent. Such demand is an
indication of the extravaganza of the
age.
