to see thing of glass and steel give

be glad to possess.
A Wolf Chase.
Yesterday a great commotion was
caused in Central Park by the report
that wolf from the menagerie was al
large Mounted policemen, people
afoot and others in automobiles took
Keene, who. besides doing some card
tricks that were absolutely marve-
| lous, displayed a machine which he
has lately invented, and which he has
pleasant features was an ex hibition
of legerdemain by Mr.. r. Warren
part in the chase; and the animal was
finally run down and shot to death. 1t
proved to be tame wolf, the proper
ty end especial pet of Mrs. Ralph Pull
itzer, which had come out for a run
in the park and would have return
ed home of its own accord had it not
been frightened by the shouts and
screams it's appearance aroused. Ev-
cry child who saw it skurrying through
the park is now a firmer believer than
ever in the story of Little Red Riding
Hood"
Winter Weather.
New York is now in the grip of the
snow king. He got in such good work
last night that although five thousand
men are at work with shovels this
morning people going to business ear
ly had to wade through drifts more
than foot deep. An amusing phase
of the weather is the sight of the mo-
tormen on, the surface cars wearing
wells.
Some of Fashions FolbIes.
/ overheard two men whose attire
proclaimed that they obeyed fashions
latest dictates, say that henceforth
until that tickle dame again changed
her mind, white silk ties would re-
place those of lawn for evening wear,
in fact, that they would not be of a
deadly white, but pearl or cream in
shade, and also that gold and jeweled
buttons would be used on evening
waistcoats. In time the dress of the
male biped may get back to the pic
turesQueness of the eighteenth cen
fury.
Spring fashions for the fair sex are
already displayed. Light shades of
gray are to predominant in tailored
suits, also nobby combinations of black
and white checks. Many of these gray
suitings have an underrone of green,
brown, blue or red which is only visible
when lined with silk of these shades.
The pleated skirt will still hold it's
own, but there will be greater variety
Ia the coats. There will be three-but-
ton getaways with detachable piQue |
vests, the semi-ftting, box-pleated coat
.eaching to the knees, and Etons with
cape sleeves.
The golden-brown shoes which were |
he vogue in Paris last year promises
o be equally popular on this side the
ocean this year. as they harmon
re with almost any costume.
