KUROKI A SPENDER
Business Houses Invading FasElioa- able Fifth Ayenue-Money Preser,- ed Residence District for Many Years.

NEW 1o1A Aehtl al ldllfOdu Wllu the beginning of June, not only in this city, but along the whole line from New York to Buffalo. Office em- plOyes and men on the working of the line will have to go, and the remaining force will have the work to do. The managers say there is not so much work to be done, that business is slackening in all lines, and there is general complaint in all lines of business that this is butter to be given out to honest laboring men and clerks. As wages are much higher than they have been, the temptation to cut down is increased, the target showing a money-saver. Difficulty in obtain ing money is ascribed by some as the reason the work is being di- minished, and that great improve ments are being retarded or cut off altogether because railroads have been so discredited that they are no longer strong in the money market nor favorite with inyes- tors as they used to be. Conse- ouently retrenchment is the order of the day, instead of the spreadine enterprise that characterized all railroad lines, but a few short months ago. The public utilities bill is not considered an inspiring cause for the immediate well-being of the roads. One officer of rail- road said that if the public utilities bill went into effect, all it would let the railroad men do would be to sign the payroll.
 Summer women clad in snowy white are to be mourned amons .ne good things that are gone. With the passing of white gloves, white shoes seem to be put on the list prescribed Fashionable shoe deai- CTS say that only very indifferent persons are buying white shoes. Those who do so are brave and proclaim that they show the modes of summers ago, but they must be brave indeed to wear the shoes out side their own homes. Pale gray in the shoe is the very thing. or lemon-colored kid or golden brown. Young girls are wearing the vel. lows, and more advanced matrons' shoes which are made to match their latest gowns. Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt is partial to patent leather low cuts, with fawn-colored spats. Mrs. Dewey, when here last, wore pale green, made to match her gown.
 A man who was looking for a house, said to the renting agent: "I want to get into a honey neighborhood. My wife is a strang- CT in New York. she has ben brought up in the country where everybody knows everybody else, and if possible she would like to locate here in district where the people are inclined to be friendly, if there are any such places" There is one block in Sixty-fourth street." said the renting agent, where honey atmosphere pre- vails to such an extent that you can cut it with a knife: another in Sixty-ninth street; one in Ninety seventh street. The Ninty-seventh street block has the reputation of being the most neighborly block in New York. Not even in country village do the residents evince greater interest in each others af- fairs than they do there. Some
