Michigan legislature for many years.
has the state capitol at any session
OF that body heard SO much gossip
and scandal.
I attribute this to the fact that there
are more wives OF nieinbeIs in Lam
sing than ever before and also more
women clerks.
The more women around, of course,
the more gossip and the more gossip
the more scandal, real or imaginary.
The most talk has been occasioned
by . Detroit member whose absence
from the sessions of the house the
past few days and his presence at
home have been due to me fact that
he was discovered with the wife OF al
officer Of the house whose home is in
Bay City.
This case Is soon to be aired in the
divorce courts, the house official hav-
ing knowledge of his wife's conduct,
and the Detroit member will be named
as correspondent.
The woman in the case and the
member were both forced to leave
Lansing and efforts were made to
keep the affair quiet. but it became
known and more of the facts will be
available when 1t gets into the courts.
The wife OF the house official is with
her parents.
There Is more than one member
whose name il connected with that

CITY WORK SCARCER.
Less Employment on Streets This
Year Than Usual.

Fewer men will be employed by
the city on public work this year than
in previous years. The budget. as
passed by the estimators, includes
less street work than was allowed
last year and this will cut down the
work OF the department OF public
works. Commissioner Haarer. how
ever, expects to have about 1,400 to
500 men at work by July l, while
Park Commissioner Hinchman thinks
that from 500 to GOO will be employ
ed In his department. The aldermen
have had host OF applications from
for jobs, and the lists are
already overlooking with names, so
that both commissioners have assur-
ances OF more help than they will
need this summer for their work.
In addition to the men employed
by the city directly. there will be sew
eral hundred men at work under con-
tracts on paving jobs.

over seven times seven countries and
had not as yet been able to find IL
girls suitable for them, till at last,
as the sun was setting, they came
across an old woman who was plowing
her field with u mares. She asked of
them what they were seeking, and
after she learned the object of their
wanderings proposed that they look at
her u daughters. The lads having
consented, the old woman drove her IL

was very pretty girl with beautiful

lad currycOmb, a brush and a piece
of horse rug and bade him to throw
first the currycomb behind him. and
in case 1t did not answer to throw the
brush, and as a last resource the piece
of horse rug. The lad threw the curry
comb and in one moment it became

there We're teeth in the comb BY the
time the old witch had broken her way
through the wood the couple had trav-

very near again the lad threw the
brush behind him and it at once be-
came a dense forest having as many
trees as there were bristles in the
brush
The old witch had the. greatest diffi-
Guilty in working her way through the
wood, but again she drew close to their
heels and very nearly caught them,
away and it became such a dense for
that 1t looked like one immense tree.
With all her perseverance she could
not penetrate the wood. so she changed
into pigeon to enable her to fly over
it But as soon as the po.y noticed
this he changed into vulture, swooped
down on the pigeon and tore, it in
pieces with his claws, thus saving both
the lad and the pretty girl, whom the
bad witch had kidnapped from a noble
count.
While the eleven brothers were still
looking after wives, the youngest mar
ried the pretty girl with the golden
hair and they lived merrily together

of fine seed pearls, used to embrolder
their scarlet fezes. These pearls are
heirlooms handed down from genera
ton to generation, and their value is
from 20 to 80 pounds The scarlet fez
is one of the minor details of most
picturesque national costume. The
peasant woman wears full skirt OF
silk or wool, her corsets are worn
outside and covered with crossed
piece of gauze. over this comes
bolero made of tanned skin, with the
fur or wool inside; the bolero reaches
below the waist at the back and opens
in the front, and the skin is often en-
broidered in gold and silver. The skirt
is partly covered with a woolen apron,
hand embroidered in gay colors, with
out which the dress would not be
considered complete.
