al Crusade Against Women's
Fancy Gowns.

Berlin, Nov. 13.-Prompted by Cleve-

wearing priceless gowns, the letter
press detailing their career and habits
and particularly how and where they
spend their money.

their heads are bannerlike ksrchiefs held
in place with a bunch of roses tucked o
one ear.
Reaching the field to which each party
is assigned, the girls strip of the buds
throwing them into the baskets slung on
their left arms. The youths helping them
in their tasks are rewarded each with a
bud from his sweetheart, which he places
in his black Bulgarian cap or scarlet fez.
The children frisk about emptying their
baskets into larger receptacles and the
fathers and mothers attend the fires.
In the altar of rose industry Bulgaria
leads the world. 1t is true that roses have
been and are cultivated for this purpose in
Persia, India, China and Egypt, in Leir sic,
Germany and in the Maritime Alps, but they
furnish comparatively little ofthe altar OF

Cannes and Grasse, they grow extensively

a peculiar altar; but the flower is chiefly
used for the manufacture Of pomade and

At the close Of the Russo-Turkish raj in
1873, when Bulgaria was separated from
Turkey, the Turkish Government, realizing
the loss TO it's revenues from this Bulgarian
industry, spent thousands of dollars in try
ing to transplant the Kazanlik rose to Asia
Minor. The roses thrived n yielded
plenty OF flowers, but when distilled they
failed to furnish the altar and the infant in

for as wages have increased English women

reliant.
Paris may be entitled a city OF cheap
l~uxuries and dear necessaries. Flowers
may be had for a song. and cabs are within
the reach Of others besides the rich.
Omnibus and trom travel in London are
cheaper than in Paris, two cents being the
fare from station to station, about half a
mile, and there being only one class. In
Paris the first class fare, no matter how
short the distance. is six cents, and second
class fare three cents. TIL correspondence

last few years transfers from line to line,
provided they cross and use a common
bureau. Transfers are not given in Lon
don.
In Paris as in London it may be said
that tn upper middle classes spend one
third of their revenue for show. Their
day at home, their carriage, the extra
help, consume a large part of an income
that might better be spent on light, food
and heat. Two families often own Il coupe
together, with the understanding that each
is to nave it at certain hours OF the day.
Whatever else they may wear the gowns
and gloves of these people must at least
indicate ease and luxury. The very diff
| ference in their outer and their under raj
ment illustrates the difference between
their vie intime and that of the outside
world. On their day at home q fire is laid
in the tiny, dollhouselike crate of the salon
in cold weather, to be lighted only when

| then if the visitor enters and protests against
the extravaganza.
