One Of tho Five Saturnalia Of New
York City.

York City.
New York has Eve saturnaiia every
year-New Years night. Decoration
day. Fourth OF July. election night and
Thsnksgiving-and not the least OF
these is election night. II 1t Is right
first Tuesday of November the day
time wind will be veeriRg from west
to south and back. sun and cloud will
equally share the hours between them
and not unnatural quiet, as OF polit.
zeal passions hushed under the blanket
of the Australian ballot. will prevail.
The streets will be rather emptied than
filed. and the litter OF straw and scrap
parer and the ordure and other filth of
the great slattern town will blow
agreeabiy about under your feet and
into your eyes and teeth. But with the
falling of the night there will be rise
of the urban spirits: the sidewalks will
thicken with citizens OF all ages and
sexes and M tons. and If you will then
seek some large center for the cinemat
ographic dissemination OF the election
news you will find yourself one OF
multitude gloating on the scenes of
comedy and tragedy thrown up on the
canvas to stay your Impotence for the
returns. Along the curbstones are sta
toned wagons for the sale Of the wind
and string instruments whose raw.
harsh discords OF whistling and
twanging will begin with the sight of
the vote from the first precinct Mean
time policemen. nervously fondling
their clubs in their hands. hang upon
the fringes of the crowd. which Is yet
SO good natured that 1t seems to have
no impulse but to lift children on its
shoulders and put pretty girls before
it and to caress old women and Grip
pies into favorable positions. SO that
they may see better. You viii wish TO
leave 1t before the clubbing begins and
either go home to the slumbers which
the whlstllng and twanging will duly
attend or join the diners going into or
coming out of the restaurants or the
throngs stroliing down into the fairy
realms OF Broadway under the fare of
the whiskies aud the actresses.--w. ID.

WEAR FLOW e RS.

A pretty fad that Is popular in Paris
Just now is to wear the inevitable
bunch of flowers, without which the
Partisan is rarely seen, pinned to the
muff, instead of the coat.
Here is a hint for the girl who al
ways likes to be ahead in the pretty
fancies that mark the up-to date young
woman.
What would be prettier that d chin
chilla muff with a big bunch Of Rus
Sian vlolets pinned in the center of it
or d black lynx muff frightened with
lilies of the valley or few carna
lions?
Care must be taken. of course. il
pinning these flowers to the muff moi
TO tear the skin, but if long, thin pins
are used it can be done with little
damage, even to the finest fur.
This new frill is a boon to the girl
who can ncS wear flowers. much as
she would like to, because they fade
on her almost as soon as they are put
on.
Sometimes the artificial flower Is
substituted for the real posies, botf
for the muff and the moutonniere.

IOHNNY'S CAREER.
The Same That Was Started by the
Cornell Widow,

Cornell Widow.
Sheer nonsense rhymes and jokes
without apparent reason or object are
frequently used to fl the pages OF the
Cornell Widow. If anything more foot
less than the Man of Giegledorf'
verse has ever been written. the Wild
ow wishes to state that her bump OF
credulity was imported from Missouri
and must be shown:
There was a man from Giegledorf
Who. to save his BARRIERS fees.
Would wet his hair and let 1t freeze.
And when twas frozen break II off.
The Widow claims the credit Of orig,
mating the nonsense rhymes which
dealt with the cleverness and precocity
of the bright little lad who carelessly
slaughtered his mother. father and i'm.
mediate relatives. These poems. If Sc
they may be called, appeared in the
Widow in October ard November, 1900
The same year they were collected and
published in pamphlet form under the
name of The Johnny Book" Johnny
started bis career by IAN tragedy" az
follows:
Johnny hung his little sister.
She was dead before they missed her.
Johnnys allus up f tricks

Next we find that
Johnny with his little ak
Dealt his brother orfui wacks.
He don't care if mamma kicks
Amt he cute ?-hes only six.
Later development OF the little rorr
shows that
John has gone from bad to worse.
Now his fathers in a hearse.
Smeared him with load of bricks.
Amt he cute?-he's only six.
And so on until finally
Johnny saw a huzzsaw buzz
Like bike and thought ii WHY
Johnnv's corpse is fun Of hicks
Ain't he cute?-he's only six.
These verses terminated the Widow,
connection with Jehn. but papers al
over the country took up his jnstruc
tive aud edifving career and pushed
it to a finish. Still another verse which
started in the Widow office and trav
eled all over this country and part o.
others was the bit of "Eb and Flo

invitations read: Come, catch folly

to which one girl replied:
"'Fools rush in where angels fear
to tread" and another, "'Where ig-
norance is bliss, it's folly to be wise"

LITTLE THINGS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

brim Of upward direction all around.
1t is covered with black velvet and
trimmed with a cog feather.
The new spring styles brought out
in hats seem to show that the cloche
hat is to disappear. This one time IA
vorite will not be missed when one
sees the varied and beautiful designs
exhibited. There is one model OF
bright cerise satin covered with steel
embroideries that has a high crown
and no brim at all, but the hair is SO
puffed and waved that the harsh line
does not show. Moreover, the long
and dropping handful of plumage that
falls so softly over the hair and down
the back redeems the model from all
but the piquancy Of severity.
So high are some of the crowns and
SO rounded at the summit that they ap-
pear most noticeable. Among the
high crowned hats the Puritan and the
Brfgand are pictorial models. With the
passing of the Cloche and Cabriolet
with strings tied beneath the chin,
comes into view, and the high crown
ed Vandyke will lead the picture hats.
SHE CARRIED RU5BERS.
This interesting conversation was
heard in New York last week: {, {,
Its too bad you haven't your rub
bers,' said a New York woman to a
Jersey friend who spent a snowy day
in town.
"Oh, but | have" returned Mrs.
Commuter, who had learned a trick or
two in her many journeyings to and
from shoppin gand visiting.
But where are they?" returned her
friend In surprise.
Just wait and I'll show you" and
the woman lifted her dress skirt a
trifle
From two pockets, one on each
side OF her underskirt, she extracted
a pair of rubbers. Supporting herself
beside the counter in the store where
she happened TO be. she calmly put
on her sandals and sailed forth re

plain styles. A deft-fingered girl can

ORIENTAL BAG DESIGN.

Very oriental is the design for a bag
made to look like a Chinese lantern.
Three yards of pompadour ribbon
Ave inches wide were used in making
IT,
The ribbon was cut in six pieces OF
equal length pointed at one end.
The pointed ends were sewed togeth
or, forming the full bottom of the bag
A casing Of white satin ribbon an
inch wide was sewed around the bag
eight inches from the top.
Into the casing was run featherbone
then covered with fancy stitches OF
pink and green rope silk, matching the
figures of the ribbon.
The featherbone ring keeps the bae
in shape so that when it is opened
all its contents are visible, which In
itself is boon 10 any one who has
searched in an ordinary work bag fol-
some elusive article that can not be
found until the bag has been turned
