why the Difference was so marked.
I'm some cases he said, 1T may be due
to the fact that the clerks are cominuni-

New York houses will be as much abloom
this spring as ever. Already many OF those

rated with various kinds of growing plants
But the apartment houses are almost with
out exception bare Of such ornamentation.
Owners have begun to disapprove OF the
floral decorations. They were too fantas-
tic and the individual taste OF every tenant
had too free q sway. There were W OF
too many colors and qualities for orna-
ment. So there Is now scarcely an apart
ment house in town which allows the ten
ants to place flowers in their windows.
sOne certainly sees some queer examples
OF the gentle art Of rubbernecking in his

the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. Now, just

much more on the same line from a ripping,
twittering, blue eyed young matron to a
stately. white haired, grande dame at a
private dinner party in one of New York 8
finest homes the other evening. TIN grande
dame. bowling very pleasantly TO the young
matron, graciously replied; ltoo am sorry.
A brutally inquisitive man took II upon
himself to learn that the hostess OF the
occasion was the daughter Of the grande
dame and had married n fine young fellow
from Grand Rapids with a head full OF
brains and without a cent, Moreover,
that the ancestors OF mother ana daugiite

shat the acorn Is in style again for butter

dairies that mark all rolls Of butter with d
special trademark vary the floral trimmings
OF their moulds from time TO time. Among
the favorite decorations acorns and OAK

are however, who scom the ornament ted
