that residents Of other parts of the state
would be as anxious to repeal It then a.
they were to pass 1t at the session Of 1905.

What a Woman Did.

There is much to be said against the
New York cabby, but there are fire.
quent occasions when one is really de-
serving of sympathy. The other day
cabby drove well-dressed and re-
fined-looking woman to a Broadway
restaurant where she ordered an ex-
pensive lunch and then told the waiter
that she had lost her purse. but that
her cab was waiting. and If he would
send boy with her she would go
home for the money. The boy en-
tered the cab with her, and she di-
rected the cabby to drive to a Sixth
avenue department store. When they
arrived she left the boy in the cab, en-
tired the store to make an imaginary
purchase and went out at the opposite
entrance. In the hope of getting in.
formation about his departed fare.
cabby drove back to the restaurant.
accompanied by the brass-buttoned
boy, whom he blackguarded all the
way for letting the woman escape. The
restaurant people discharged the lad
for the same reason. and the diver
cried quits

New Wall Papers,

Striking colors do not seem to be
favorite in the new wall papers
shown. The soft pastel shades pre-
dominate and 1t is notable that vers
little gold decoration is used.
There is an imitation of hand-tooled
leather which is very good to look at,
extremely modish for certain rooms,
aud costs ever so much less than the
real leather. Japanese grasscloth, iml,
tation burlap and the real burlap are
also an excellent choice for rooms not
to be furnished in light delicate furni-
ture.
