Miss Lawrence's New Stock,

With the opening of the fall season
Miss Jessie Lawrence, who has for the
past two years conducted hat shop on
Fourteenth avenue, finds herself much
better equipped to give her patrons
perfect satisfaction. Last week the hats
which Miss Lawrence brought back
with her from the east were put on
exhibition. Among them is great diver
5sity Of style and the newest Of winter
and fall models. There are pretty
models Of street hats and some tasty
evening hats, as well as hats untrimmed
and hats trimmed.
Miss Lawrence brought back with
her number of the Gage hats. The
newest shades figure prominently in
the hats she is showing and they will
easily match up with the new fall
gowns and suits. ~.
Formerly Miss Lawrence has done
all her own trimming with the aid Of
an apprentice girl, but this season she
has had to add another apprentice as
we'll as trimmer to her staff. With the
present equipment she is able to han
die all the trade from the East Side
and continue to give her customers per
feet satisfaction. The shop is open eve
nings now and Miss Lawrence will be
pleased to show her stock, to any who
are interested. - .& #>s :.

Of the principal luxuries of life. To
this day the reckless way in which
a Southern girl applies powder will
make her Northern sister hold her
breath.
Certainly the vanity case affirrns
that women, if not more bold about
wearing powder, are more open about
putting it on than they have been be-
fore. Such a charming trifie is not
made to be hidden from the public
gaze, and when a pretty woman in
a restaurant or a street car calmly
opens her vanity case, holds the mir
ror out at a comfortable angle and
painstakingly powders her Gibson
nose and chin she Is sure of a large
and deeply interested audience.
The public toilet has been observed
more than once, though it's probably
not in accordance with the strictest
rules of propriety even in these lib
eral times. But he who sneers at this
pretty exhibition of the vanity case
will please take notice that certain
sleek, prosperous, we'll groomed men
are still to be seen drawing out their
little vanity cases from inside pockets
and as they complacently eye as much
as they can see of their magnificent
mustaches in the tiny mirrors comb
ing them with a dolls comb.

handbag, pocketbook and card case

are to be had in a number of fancy
shapes, in precious metals, jeweled,
and to be attached either to the wrist
by bracelet or to a long chain worn
around the neck.
Their contents, Of tiny looking glass
and powder pun, seem to suggest that
our Puritan souls have conquered
their last vestige of prejudice against
improving on nature. 1t was not long
ago that there were still a large num-
Der Of unsophisticated and straitlaced
folks who looked upon the powdered
face as but a slight degree removed
from the painted one in scandal, says
writer in the New York Sun.
Occasionally rebellious sister, who
preferred sin to a shiny countenance,
would tamper with the shocking stuff,
but she seldom had the courage of her
convictions and would dab the powder
on slyly in the extreme privacy of her
chamber, and she took infinite pains
to hide all traces of 1t, boldly denying
that she and 1t were even acquainted.
This was in the narrow minded

GOTHAM BOASTS OF A UNIQUE DEVICE WHICH MAY
DISPLACE THE OFFICE MESSENGER

THE messengers in offices in the
financial districts who take the
cards of visitors to their, en-
ployers have a rival. 1t is a
machine and it does the work
better than man or boy, says the New
York World.
James B. Dill, the corporation law
authority, has installed one Of the ma
chimes in his offices at 81 Pine street.
Mr.. Dill was the first to discover the
machine and a number of bankers,
lawyers and railroad men who daily
visit him have been so impressed with
its peculiar utility that it is probable
many offices will soon be equipped
with 1t.
The machine is an electrical con-
trivance with two small cabinets, one
in the reception-room and one on Mr..
Dill's desk in his private Office. The
cabinet in the reception-room is fitted
with a roll of paper and a peculiar
pencil, to which is attached a slender
electric wire. The paper runs over an
electric contrivance which transmits
every movement Of the pencil to the
cabinet in Mr. Dilrs Office. This latter

cabinet is also fitted with a roll of pa
per and an electrically connected pen
ell, the latter being different in sew
eral details from the pencil in the cab
met in the outer room.
When a visitor enters the outer room
the clerk there learns his name and,
taking up the electric pencil writes it
on the paper in the cabinet. The In
slant he begins to write the pencil in
the cabinet on Mr.. Dill's desk also be-
gins to write. reproducing exactly all
of the peculiarities of the clerks hand
writing. Any message which the Wis
itor may wish to send can also be COM
municated to Mr.. Dill over the queer
machine A test of it showed that it
will also transmit drawings.
The advantages of the machine over
the ordinary messenger are many. A
man like Mr.. Dill, who has many i'm
portant conferences every day and a
great many visitors is not interrupted
every few minutes by q messenger
knocking on the door and bringing in
a card. All he has to do is to look
in the cabinet when a faint buzzer
sounds.
The San Francisco call., 1905-03-04

The president of a large railroad
system who saw the contrivance in
Mr.. Dill's office said that If use showed
that it could be depended upon 1t
would be of immense value to rail-
roads.
Misunderstanding of telegraphic or
ders, he said, was responsible for a
majority of the railroad accidents in
this country, but when the officials
made their investigation to fix the in
dividual responsibility there was al
ways a dispute between the sender and
receiver of the telegram as to which
had made the error. If the message
could be sent and received in the hand
writing of the same man, he said the
responsibility would be absolutely
fixed and, knowing this, all railroad
employees concerned with the movement
of trains would be doubly careful.
