BUYING CLOTHES A SERIOUS
 OCCUPATION

The trouble with Englishwomen,' ,'' rernarked a manequin Ca lady dress modeD who has had experience in Paris and New York, lis that while they wish to dress well, they are not sufficiently serious. They are ready enough to take pains, but they do not take pains at the right time. The Parisienne has never made up her mind as to the style of clothes she wants until she has seen everything the modiste has to show her and has considered the whole carefully. This involves frequent visits and general ly takes a week or more. What of the Englishwoman? Oh, so differ ent, Here is an instance: A we'll known titled ladysentered the atelier one day and explained that she wanted three evening gowns, five day gowns, two evening cloaks. and travelling costume. Here was at least a weeks work in selection for a Frenchwoman. The Englishwoman accomplished it in an hour and fif- teen minutes, or almost as fast as could robe and disrobe. As I ap- peared in a new creation her lady ship would remark, 'Ah, very nice I'll have thati" or Impossible. Not at all in my line But quick decis- ion does not guarantee perfection of results, as you may imagine"

Among the many and varied personalities none will be more attractive than the western ranch girls. A group cf these expert lady riders will vie with the T1ale contingent in feats of equestrian skill Among trem are some who are adopts and will show their grace in the high schocl art; others that are con potent will hide tucking bronchos.

Poultry fanciers are agreed that decapitation is the only way in which a full-fIegded, healthy rooster may be police yesterday were requested to devise some means of bringing to an end the morning serenades of two roosters, belonging to well known confec,ioner living on, north Third street, without resorting to an impro- vised guillotine.
 According to the story told by a woman living in the neighbOrhood of the confectioner, a pair of cheerful ful1-lunged and spurred feathered soIIgsters are in the habit of wander ing forth at the first peep of dawn and, giving full vent to their vocal proclivities, rouse the residents of that locality who are not quite ready stated, the neighbors sleep only when tn roosters sleep.
 Now it is far from pleasant to feel obligated to arrange a persons calen- dar to conform to the habits of a noisy rooster and that is why the woman appealed to the police.
 The Chantelclear of the police force was detailed to the case with the result that the confectioner was di- rected to no longer allow his birds to run loose and was requested to make the coop in which they sleep as dark as possible so that they might not readily be apprised of the approach of daylight. It is hoped this plan may work out to the saliva tion of the sleepers of that neighbor-

POOR SPECIMEN
!: Of CIRCUS
. W

Pretty poor circus, even for the
price. was the general comment
k.at the Sells-Floto exhibition yester-
day afternoon and evening, and the
expression of faces gave stronger
support to this opinion.
= The Sells-Floto outfit claims that
rtheri show only costs half as much
las the trust" circuses, or 20 cents.
But the Spectators wagon, where
| tickets are sold for 35 cents, and the
| reserved seats, which are another
four bits, make it fairly costly. And
large part of the ten is made up
of reserved seats.
The menagerie was no good. espe-
cially compared to the Barnes ami
NAL show. The acrobats and clowns
were fairly good. Two huge
crowds saw the circus. and had an
uncomfortable time of it. The
thing people enjoyed most was in
watching the crowds. Human ma
\ ture is a great circus in itself.
