has the hearty cooperation OF the
big department stores of this city.
The class was originally organized by
Miss Diana Hirschler, for several
years past welfare manager of a noted
firm in Boston. The class listens to
two lectures week-one from Miss
Hirschler, and the other from a vol
unteer from one Of the stores, usually
the head of an important department
The class instruction is aimed at
breaking up that stolid indifference
which is characteristic of many would
be salespeople and to convince the lat
ter that their welfare is identical with
the advantage of their employers.
Special attention is given to the Ian
guage which the salespeople should
use. Officiousness, garrulity, sharp
ness of tone and irritation are decid-
eddy condemned. The salesman is
taught to maintain certain expectant
reserve, and to stand as the embodi-
ment OF potential usefulness. Incl
dentally the whole intellectual life of
the salesgirl-too often conspicuous
by its absence-is elevated and broad
ened. Life gains in inspiration as II
enlarges in opportunity, and self-re-
spect and self control replace, to the
satisfaction Of all concerned, selfsad-
yertisement and silly forwardness.

COvETABLE GOWNS.

nave seen some very coyetable
ones in Regent street lately. One OF
these is a Donegal frieze. in a lovely
tone of pale blue and charmingly trim
med with black and white. Another
is fancy tweed with one coat ana
two skirts, long one and a short.
The bolero is of the sensible kind tina,
fits closely and comes down to the
waist. Those that are short enough
to show the belt and perhaps are cut
up as well, often look very scrappy
and piecemeal. Princess Enays Ats
beautifully, and is trimmed with little
insects of white cloth closely braided
in lines of black with oxydized but
tons. These fronts can be worn CLOS
ed or open. When turned back they
show pretty vest trimming in white
and black. The sleeves are finished
with cuffs to match this.
Among the coats made for our
young princess is one in cream color.
ed cloth very full and lightly pleated.
1t is trimmed with cream tinted Irish
guipure applique with gold embroid-
cry, and the sleeves are wing shaped
Another handsome coat is black cloth,
empire shape, and lined with white
silk. Here again there is ample full
ness. A deep collar In white and
black cloth trims it, being enriched
with silver braid and black and white
embroidered silk, this trimming be-
ing carried down the fronts as well.
A couple of large cut steel buttons
mark the short waist at the back and
others hold straps of black velvet
down the front.
Another which / am sure you will
consider novel, had a three-tier skirt
OF finest heliotrope cloth with a lace
bodice on which pretty fichu OF the
cloth was disposed This was a very
becoming gown, the lines OF the fichu
coming from shoulder to waist The
bodice and sleeves were finished with
fairy-like little narrow braid, first en-
broidered by hand, then crinkled up
and sewn on in little wavy lines, the
whole 50 minute and exquisitely done
that one could not imagine human
fingers getting around it.
A pale blue bengaline evening gown
was lifted out of the commonplace at
once by a cluster of mauve flowers on
the bodice, and an admirable little
yoke, deeply fashioned and 80 dainty

He Wanted to See II.

There resides In st. Louis politf-
clan as well known in that vicinity for
his wit as for his corpulency. Now
for some time the st. Louis man has
been much disturbed by his Increase
ing avoirdupois trying many remedies
without success. At the instance OF a
friend, he recently took the baths At
resort in Indiana recommended for
the purpose. At the end OF two Or
three weeks he returned In a happv
and ocular frame Of mind, for he had
managed to get riu =
deal OF his superfiuous flesh. The
day after his return he was on his
way down town, when he stopped at
the butcher shop that supplied hia
household. Dashing inside, he de-
manded that the butcher cut for him
twenty pounds OF pork.
The butcher at once complied. The
politician looked at the twenty pounds
OF pork for a moment or two then be.
gan to walk away without further ado.
Send 1t to the house?" asked the
butcher thinking that his customer
had overlooked the usual instruction.
Not at all, not at ALL" smilingly
exclaimed the politician. I'VE never
eat pork; in fact, have no use for IL.
the fact Is, I've fallen of twenty
pounds and merely wanted to get an
idea OF how much that looked like"

LONDON A GREAT CITY.

Consul General Wyne furnishes an
interesting compilation from the
Statistical Abstract for London, 1905.
The six and half million people in
Great London live in 928,008 houses.
The population 100 years ago was just
one-fifths what it is now. Though the
number of births was nearly double
the number OF deaths In 1904, the birth
rate is steadily declining The postal
figures show that in 1905 there were
1,O28 postoffices in London, and 2,435
public telephones working. The total
imports at London in 1904 amounted
to $849, 0S6,000, and the total exports
$462, 299, 900. Sore idea Of London 3
wealth is shown by the assessed in
come-tax value in 1904 in the admins
trative county, houses representing
$219, 1854, 900, trades and professions
$364,045,000, profits of companies and
other interests $69S,511 900, salaries

AS He Understood the Invitation.

Baltimore Herald-Down in Princess
Anne, on the Eastern Shore, where |
have spent great part of my life,
we used to have a violin player, Rich
ard Smith, who, though generally
hired to play at the dances and other
functions where music was required
nevertheless always demanded form
al invitation to these affairs. Some
new folks came to town In the sum.
mer, and as they needed music and
had heard Of Richard they sent him
an invitation. and also another note
requesting his services at his own
price. Richard read the note and
was considering the request with
pleasure, when he opened the invita-
ton. It, too, read all right, but down
in the right hand corner were the
letters "R. S. v. p" and he stopped
short and stared at them. "R. s. v.
p ne said slowly to himself, Rich
ard Smith, Violin Player" is what thar
means. Well, if those city folks are
SO stuck UP that they have to desig-
nate against man because OF his pro-
fession, why, l guess | can afford to
stay away from their affair."" and he
did.

STORIES OF PLACES.
One swineherd to Village in servia
Drying Milk in Australia.

Drying MIX in Australia.
In any Servian village there is only
one swineherd, and he leads all the
pigs OF the community. In the morn
ing he goes through the streets blow
in his horn and the pigs come out of
their own accord and fall in behind
him and follow him to the pasture. AT
night he brings them home and they
dispense to their homes in the same
orderly way as they pass the houses
to which they belong. They require
no attention and no singing out.
Australia has adopted the system OF
drying milk. The milk is dried be-
tween steam rollers and sold as a pow
der, from which nothing but water has
been extracted and to which nothing
but water needs to be added to make
wholesome, clean and sterile milk A
leading medical officer is reported to
have said that the adoption of dried
milk at some of the hospitals for con-
sumptive patients and in general hos
pitfalls has proved a success.
This winter the Norwegians have
varied the excitement of ski running
by yoking the runner to a motor cycle
by a long leather strap which he
grasps with his left hand. The speed
attained is enormous and great skill
is required to avoid being pulled over,
as the body is apt to outrun the feet.
The pastime is growing very popular.

instruction In Craftsmanship.

lions Herald-As competition 10
business becomes keener, more and
more attention is being given to such
details as the attitude and language
of the salespeople, who are supposed
to attract customers, but who in many
cases repel them. The personal equa-
ton enters into business as well as
into everything else. and an attractive
personality has real commercial
value. Il is a somewhat belated ap-
probation Of this fact that not only
has led a considerable number OF
private establishments to inaugurate
and conduct classes in salesmanship
but has also induced the public school
authorities OF Boston to make sales

Up to the halls of Congress

Beware Of the female brigade"

Not theirs to wonder how.
Not theirs to smile and bow.
Joe Cannon will stop this row,
And out Of the halls of Congress
Throw the Five Hundred"

Cannon in front OF them, shouted and

When will Joe Cannon be freed?

To grant that she did wish to win
When hearts were trumps.
