Pail Mall Gazette.
This Is the height of our deserts:
little pity for life's hurts,
A little rain. little sun,
A little sleep when work Is done.
A little righteous punishment,
Less for our deeds than their intent:
A little pardon now and then,
Because we are but struggling.
A little light to show the way,
A little guidance where we stray;
A little love before we pass
To rest beneath the kirkyard grass.
A little faith in days of change,
When life is stark and bare and strange
A solace when our eyes are wet
With tears Of longing and regret
True It is that we cs.,>not claim
Unmeasured recompense or blame,
Because our way of life is small
\ little Is the sum IL al.

Blight of Hard Times

The money panic has affected the
milliners, modlstes. and general pur-
veyors to women. Heretofore. women
who have been accustomed to spend-
ing thousands of dollars every season
upon gowns and furs are economizing
to sensational degree. FashIonably
dressed society women who have been
bug ing half dozen handsome Ameri.
can gowns at this season, in addition
to the regular standing order with
Paquin and Worth, now have to be
content with domestic workmanship.
The noticeable result is the decline
in the exOrbitant prices that milliners
and dressmakers have commanded In
the past.
Gowns that heretofore cost anywhere
from $3.50 to $500 can be bought for
half that price, provided the customer
Can pay in cash. A case occurred
only yesterday in which woman of
my acquaintance bought hat at e

ing last week at $50.
This is the season of the year at
which milliners have been accustomed
to advance their prices and to charge
exorbitantly for choice importations,
because fashionable women must have
hats for horse show week. The opera
season. likewise. is beginning, and
wealthy strangers pour into town, at
tracted by these two features. They
have always expected to pay high
prices, and in previous years have been
able to afford to do so. In anticipa-
tion of the same rush of trade, the
New York milliners and women tailors
had stocked up; but the depressed con-
dltion OF the money and stock markets
appeared without warning and in
dulgent husbands are unable to meet
heavy obligations. Julius Chambers,
