RE-BIRTH OF THE HOOP
SKIRT CAUSES TROUBLE
Pittsburg Girls Wear Strange Apparel
to Their Discontinue.

Pittsburg, June 2Z.-Miss Genevieve
Tucker, who lives in q handsome place
at 1851 Fifth avenue, in the fashionable
East End district, decided she would
try to match ribbons with some gloves
she recently had brought over from
Paris today. Strangely enough, Miss
Henriette Hebert, her bosom friend Of
32 Stanwick street had the same ka-
Ieidoscopic duty to perform, and it was
only natural that she should accompa.
nv Miss Tucker in her carrafge to a
department store in the busiest part Of
down town.
: When the carriage drew up TO the
store there was nothing remarkable
about the two girls, apparently. They
were pretty, demure and exquisitely
dressed. The only thing strange at
: that moment was the unusual appear
anee of the groom. He was ashen when
he opened the carraige door, and
walked around the girls in respectfully
widening circles. Persons began ia
! gather in little knots who eyed the groom
suspiciously, fearing he was insane
but they soon found there was method
in his arms length deplOying.
The side store Of the store, which
faces the north, still has a storm door.
one Of those turnstile affairs that only
goes one way, and with plate glass
partitions down to say a man'i
knees.
One Of the young women smilingly
started through the door, then stopped
and turned pale, while her companion
gave little shrek and the groom went
around the corner and hid. All of th'
girl herself had got into the compart
ment of the store door, but what wa
left outside unfolded the story. TIL
girl couldn't go any further because o
what was left behind her, nor eoul
she back out, because the door didn'
turn that way, 80 the rapidly increas

COMPLEXION OF IRON

Deadlock Between Buyers and Sellers
Sentiment Improved.

New York, June 22,-New business
has been rather light in nearly all
branches of the iron and steel trades
and in some of them, says the Iron Age
what is virtually deadlock between
the buyers and sellers is maintained
Sentiment is rather improved although
there is little that is tangible in the
way of new osders to justify it,
In pig iron reports from some dis
tributing markets are that inquiries
are a little mose numerous, but the
