Great Value of Output

CAREFUL inquiry was made as to the value
~ of the annual output of ribbons, and it
equaled about sixteen million dollars of our
money. The ribbons are all velvet silk, satin, or
cotton. Sometimes they are in gold and silver
They are woven over glass rods, and the OPP
erations call for extreme delicacy of touch, as
may be seen from the fact that often twenty
five hundred threads may be running through
that one is told in ST. Etienne that the United
States constitutes the chief market for rib
bons.
To return for a moment to Paris. You will
find here nine thousand women in one quarter
making artificial flowers and another seventy
five hundred curling and dyeing feathers That
reminds one that Paris has just begun an i'm
portant industry in artificial feathers; for
Fashion DEGREES that these shall be extensively

Plumes have gone up. in price by leaps and
and South Africa are profting accordingly
AS much as fifty dollars is now paid for
three especially fine plumes. AS a rule the
longest feather is thirty-two inches, and con-
ssts of two superb quality feathers put to-
gether at cost of about thirty dollars. 1t
is learned on the best authority that ostrich
plumes now cost three hundred per cent. more
than they did five years ago. There are some
thing like three hundred and sixty thousand
birds in South Africa, and probably eighteen
thousand in this country. The average ma

year in feathers; so that Africa's ostriches give
a crop running into many millions in value.
1t seems strange that Paris can with one
word create new industry, or depress or
raise enormously the value of any one article
or material used in women's frocks and frills.
The business done is altogether incredible. A
great wholesale house like the Bon Marche
will undertake to trim hats for export at two
and half dollars dozen. So it is a mistake
to suppose that Paris hats are all expensive.

tories, the number of these great establish
ments must run into hundreds. More than
this some thousands of the inhabitants have
private hand weaving looms in their own
homes; and altogether it has been estimated
that no less than twenty-five thousand looms
are in daily work at ST. Etienne, producing
every conceivable variety of colored and en-
broidered ribbon with which the world of
fashion is acquainted.
When one thinks of seventy thousand people
in one French town making nothing else but
ribbons, he can form some idea of what fair
Frances position as supreme and indisputable
Mistress of the Robes means to her. Sadly
enough, the faces met in the streets of St.
Etienne do not suggest that ribbon making is
the most healthy or enjoyable of tasks.
Thousands of them work in their own
homes; and one will meet crowds of girls and
boys, with great piles of nicely balanced bas-
The wages paid are indeed paltry. If young
girl earns twenty-five cents day, she is con-
sidered to be doing fairly well. If she earns
fifty cents a day. she is good workwoman.
AS to the hours, of course the piecework people
can put in as many as they please. EN-
ployees in the town workshops. however, COM
monty put in ten or twelve hours day.
The motive power for the weaving looms is
derived first from the river which runs
through the city. Then there are factories
worked by steam or electricity-which last is
looms for small annual charge.
1t is most interesting to watch the raw silk
being taken in at the factories and gradually
worked up from beautiful coored designs into
ribbons of every conceivable width and color.
One firm alone in ST. Etienne employs sixty
artists, inventing and working out new and
striking patterns.

Fashions Show Room

THE. walls of the saloons are covered with
L priceless tapestries, and on the polished
floors are stretched silken rugs from Samarcand.
Not far away from this quarter one will find
eight hundred wholesale houses that do nothing
but manufacture exquisite flowers of silk and
velvet that almost put Dame Nature herself
to shame.
Such works of art, together with costly os-
trich plumes, figure upon CONNECTIONS" de-
signed it may be by an artist of the rank of
Jan van Beers himself. Such hat may cost
one hundred and fifty dollars. Dissect it, and it
will be found to give almost complete lesson in
the geography of France, and incidentally a
luminous idea of what Fashion means to this
prosperous Republic. Thus the silk and vel
vet blossoms, feathers, and paste jewels will
come from Paris, the tulles, gauzes, and
grapes from Lyons, the black imitation 1aces
from Calais, the Innings from Picardy, and the
ribbons from St. Etienne.
A famous little town this-the City of Rib
bons. Quite one-half of its population of
one hundred and fifty thousand are engaged
in weaving ribbons for the world. In this
French town no less than two
hundred master manufacturers of ribbons;

Study of His Character by an Indcpcn-

CFrom the Indianapolis \

CFrom the indianapolis News)
Since Mr. Hughes has been COVER
nor he has been guided only by his
sense of duty. He mas not played
politics even to get his measures
through the Legislature. He has acted
on the theory that both ne and the
members of the Legislature were the
servants of the people, and that it
was the duty of hotn to be faithful
to their masters If others failed to
do their duty it was for the people
and not for him, to punish them, He
entered into no deals. made no bar
gains refused to use the power or
patronage which was hs--an yet the
political history is more remarkable
than the complete surrender OF the boss
controlled Legislature of New York to
Governor Hughes. He took his stand
on what nc believed to be right, and
the politicians came round to him. They
did this because he made it perfectly
clean that to fight him was to fight
the people and that was something
which the politicians did not care to
do openly.
The case seems the more remarkable
when We remember that Governor Hughes
has no popular qualities. He is not i'm
pulsiVc or magnetic. and of course is
without any of the arts of the domdgoeuc
ON the contrary. he is what is called 4

creates is that he is n Office not because
