However, that is neither here nor there,
says the post card purveyor. The unit
has to be sacrificed to the mass, sentiment

following facts:
The worlds yearly use Of post cards Is
almost unbelievable when stated in round

Il wouldn't dream OF walking anywhere

with the country outlined before you and
its features marked there on the paper
you can find a far greater satisfaction in
the walk than would he possible without the

by women Of fashion one of the filters of
women's gowns said:
There is No difference between winter and
summer lingerie nowadays, and every year
lingerie grows finer aQd more costly Come
and take a look at thee cases"
In one Of the cases were three garments
Of sheerest lawn and lace and a placard
marked 81 200 for the three pieces In
another case were three similar garments
and the placard was marked S1,4O0. A
third case contained a single garment
marked 81 200 and several lace and muslin
skirts at $500 each.
But fiannel2' the reporter asked.
NO, indeed the filter replied. Only
old persons wear flannel now. How
could q woman in the habit OF wearing
decollete gowns wear high neck under
garments OF the old styleI
sOnly old fashioned women wear warm
underwear now. or persons who can't
Afford warm outside coats. And, personally.
I don't see the sense OF wearing such warm
garments indoors in these days Of furnace
and steam heat. It's far more sensible, l
think. TO put on extra clothing outside the
dress wheno one goes in the street.
Just Rs healthful1 More so, ! arm sure
Piled up in snowy heaps on counters and
ranged in order by rows on shelves not far
from the filters particular domain were a
few thousand lingerie waists, illustrating
every stage Of elaborateness and cost.
There were waists for So, others for $50,
n the main difference betw cen them was
In the quality Of the materials. Every n
was OF the thin, openw ork variety.
Left over from the summer repeated
o salesw oman in a tone OF horror. They
are every one new. Most of them were
imported for the fall trade.
of course such waists are worn in winter
a. well as in summer. In fact, scarcely
anything but lingerie waists is now used
for either street or house wear. They are
always worn under coats, and the finer they
are the better they sell.

as she spoke a stocking of shaGed green silk
eyeletted at the instep. For ordinary
wear? Well, any of these Isle threads,
beginning with the openw ork and emhrold-

Winter weight stockings? Yes. we do
carry a few quite heavy cotton stockings,
but We are seldom asked for them.

The post card has not yet reached here
the Importance it has abroad. In Paris
many of the students Of the Latin quarter
earn their board and tuition fees by selling
post cards to the patrons Of the theatres.
One French vendor retired from business
the other day with a mug little fortune
made entirely out Of the souvenir post cards
which he had sold during the previous eight
years. A familiar figure to the tourist in
France is Nine. Postale, a peasant OF YER

years depicting Marie Antoinette and Louis
XVI. She boasts Of her 90 years. is smiling
and CHEEKY, her little shawl is folded neatly
and her cap ia Of snowy purity.
The French post cards, like the American
and the Japanese, are very partial to the
representations of women. Japanese grace,
French chic and American harmony are adj
vertised largely. Switzerland not being
a country OF lovely women, the 5000 900
post cards which constitute its annual out
put depict natural scenery instead, and this
is true Also OF Germany. .

One of them had just received a letter from

in reply In a few moments the table was
covered with the cards and each man intent
on scribbling some artistic joke, inspired
by the moment. e.

these the claim OF J. II. Locher, q pub
Usher Of Zurich, seems to be the best es-
tablished. He oriered in 1872 a card with
a view Of this city from a steel engraver
named Roridh In Nuremberg. Its use
was at first restricted on account Of the
expense Of production.
