A Cloak Room Story.

A congressman who had returned
from Europe, told this story Of scene
on the banks Of the Serpentine in Lon
don, when lady and gentleman
paused beside a stylishly dressed nurse
in bonnet and floating veil, and the
lady exclaimed, looking at the children
of two and four who accompanied the
girl:
What charming children. Are they
not lovely, Edward?"
Edward replied that they were all
that the heart of man could desire.
will you kiss me?" said the lady.
They don't usually kiss people,
madam" said the nurse, but Of course
they will yor."
The kissing ceremony completed
the woman of fashion asked:
And whose dear children are they%
as she looked admiringly at the rosy
cheeks and bright eyes Of the little
ones.
Madam" said the girl in amaze
ment, they are your own. They know
you because they have often watched
you from the nursery window, as you
passed to and from your carriage.

His Junior Partner.

There Is one little incident connected
with Charles r. Flint's life whicn
shows us how some American men
place their wives on pedestal In
way that is puzzling to foreigners.
Flint, as we all know, was among the
first to see a great future for the air
ship and was identified with the
Wright brothers as backer. one
night he invited a Russian diplomat
to dine with him at home, the invita-
ton, which was an informal one cx-
planning that the dinner would be
small; in fact, there would be no 9TH
er guests, only his Junior Partner
The diplomat arrived punctually,
dressed in his official costume and dec
GRATED with orders. He was ushereo
into the drawing room and shown the
trophies which Flint had brought back
from his many journeys around the
world. He is a collector and con-
noisseur, as well as business man.
But no Junior Partner" appeared
The conversation was general, with
now and then a reference made by MI.
Flint to the Importance of this person.
He confessed to the guest that ne
never took an important business step
without first consulting his partner;
that he relied almost entirely upon the
Judgment and sound advice OF the
Junior Partner" Finally. when ne
could no longer refrain from showing
his curiosity, the Russian looked at
Mr.. and Mrs. Flint and asked who this
mysterious person was. Flints reply
was to make a courtly bow to his wife
and present the foreign diplomat to his
"Junior Partner."-Detroit Free Press.

APAcHES OF NEW YORK.
Same Kind of Criminals as Those Of
Paris.

Criminal life has its history-how-
ever unlikely this may seem from the
stereotyped middle-class viewpoint-as
certainly as any other rank in society.
The Irish professional criminal-the
bold and ugly burglar Of the sOs-was
already decadent in the late 90s. But
the two new political criminal districts
were made nurseries in crime for the
children of the two new races Of i'm
migrants-the Eighth for the Jews
and the Bowery district for the Ital-
ians. The young children Of these
peoples were given primary criminal
instruction in many cases by the old
Irish criminal, says George Kibbe
Turner in McClure's Magazine. Little
BOYS of 10 and IL were carefully
trained as pickpockets in the Jewish
district; and little girls of IL and ID
started as prostitutes. Out of this
training developed the two racial gangs
of professional criminals that have re-
placed the earlier Irish type-the great
East SlOe DdIlu VI JO"iSh pumps oAAo
thieves and pickpockets and the great
Italian band Of cutthroats and pimps
who have their headquarters today In
Chatham Square and in Harlem. Out
Of these two political criminal gangs,
with the various members Of other
races that have been absorbed by
them, has come two-thirds Of the pro-
fessional crime that has so alarmed
the city Of New York. In many ways
these gangs stand in the same relation
to New York as the notorious Apaches,
composed of almost exactly the same
kind of criminals, do to Paris.

Methods of Letting Contracts.

Charles Day, in the Engineering Magazine.
a great deal has been said I'm defense Of
both the ''lump-sum' and percentage
methods Of handling construction work
and l do not propose to enter into this
discussion in these papers. l have as
sumed, when discussing the plan OF
building industrial plants by contract
that the engineers would exercise con-
sentative Judgment as to the basis of
compromising the various contractors
There are certain instances where the
percentage or fxed-tee plan Is the only
one that is at all feasible. viz. where il
is quite impossible to foresee with accu-
racy the conditions that will be en-
countered, or where speed Is a matter
there are other conditions which as def.
nitely call for the lump-sum basis. The
conditions are. however. radically differ
ent when the construction work Is
handled by an engineering organization,
for whatever advantages the lump-sum
method may offer are outweighed by
those resulting from the direct assump-
ton of the owners interests. secured
through the fixed-fee percentage plan.
When speed is of primary Importance
the work can often be greatly expedited
as certain features of the construction
work can be commenced some time before
the completion Of the final plans and
specifications. This method is always
preferable where it is imperative that the
owner should have direct control of the
construction work, as when an extension
is being built to an existing plant ana
the field work must be strbordinated TO
the requirements of manufacture.

SHIRTS MUST HAVE STRIPES.
They Are the Modish Thing in This
Wear.

From the New York Sun.
The shirt style Of the present season
must distinctly include stripes, not only
in accordance with the opinion of tns
experts. but from the point Of view Of the
public as we'll. There never was q time
when there was less demand on the 2art
of men who follow the fashions for any
thing different. This was proved by the
experience Of one Of the large shirt deal
ers who tried putting on the market a
pattern containing small design. Some
thing Of this kind had been imported
from Paris by customers OF the famous
shirt maker in the Rue de Ia Paix and
had acquired some popularity also with
on the avenue.
But the American imitation Of this
other design which met with success
among the few buyers Of expensive Gus
tom-made shirts failed entirely to please
a public which has for this season at
least made up its mind to wear only
stripes. So well settled is the public
preference that IL makes no particular
difference what sort the stripes may be.
They may be of any color or almost any
width. That they must be vertical Is the
only requisite.
There are broad dark blue stripes alter
mating with narrower stripes on white
ground. and the same color arrangement
Will De 1OunQ IN SOCn SnaQeS as DARK
brown dark red and dark green. with
even two shades OF maroon as well. Then
there are dark blue stripes on light blue
green, with this same scheme followed in
every other shade conceivable as appro-
pirate for mans wear, alternating With
such simple patterns as plain blue
stripe on a white ground and other co1ors
in the same simple combination OF the
colored stripe on the white ground.
Nothing is smarter in any OF these COM
binations than the narrow stripes In blue.
pink or purple showing tiny thread
Of white between them. The effect or
such a combination is Of course almost
that Of a solid color, and even In this day
of stripes this does not prevent this erect
from being more modish, perhaps. than
any of the others, even IL the stripe ls
less distinctly defined than In some OF
the other materials. These narrow stripes
come in madras.
There can be no doubt that the brief
popularity Of black and white stripes
has come to an end except for mourning
wear, the only use for which they ever
were appropriate. 1t was the rebellion
against the highly colored materials that
gave a brief popularity to black and
white, which to be appropriate for ordi-
nary wear had to be relieved by some
highly colored neckwear. Now the black
and white stripe even In It's most as
Greet form has ceased to appear even In
this winter of the striped shirt.
It must also be borne in mind that the
single color stripe or the stripe Ct two
shades Is smarter than any sharply con-
trasting colors, or as in some cases COM
bina tons Of several more or less vio-
lently contrasting tints.
