One of the busiest women IN the city
to-day is professional fiat finder, says
the New York Sun. While she is an all

entire attention is devoted to hunting
up quarters for women living in the
suburbs or even so far away as Chicago
who want to enjoy the delights Of win
ter in New York.
"You know yourself" said the fiat
hunter in explaining the need Of her ex-
istence, "how the glowing descriptions
of agents often turn out. :
bright, sunny rooms turn out to be
dark, gloomy cells, and stylish furniture
rickety mess that you wouldn't use in
your kitchen. With my knowledge of
localities and agents Il am able to Sc
cure some charming quarters for COM

with quill and rosette. Most COM

down to simplicity.
Some short sleeves are seen on
mourning dresses, but usually the
three:quarter length is preferred.

The old wooden cruiser Nipsic, sole
American survivor of the terrible Sa'
moan hurricane Of March 1916, 1889,
and for several years past stationed at
the Puget sound naval station, is be-
ing transformed into a prison ship for
that station and will soon be occupied
in that service. The Nipsic is one of
the noted ships Of the old navy, having
after her wreck at Samoa been navi-
gated from that point to the Hawaiian
Islands minus rudder, minus forefoot,
with her propeller twisted and bent
out of ali semblance of a propeller,
and after her repair at Honolulu was
kent in commission until October, 1890.
The Nipsic was built at the Washing
ten navy yard in the same shiphouse
where were laid down the frames Of
the Old Minnesota. Her machinery, de-
signed at the bureau Of steam engineer
inc. was one of the most interesting OF
the government exhibits at the Centen-
NAL exhibition at Philadelphia. The
hull was constructed Of the best white
oak timber and is probably as sound
TODAY as when the ship was first
launched.-Nautical Gazette.
