This girl was one of the bellies OF the
bazaar and typical of the fair maidens
of Burma. She was as straight as a post
and as plump as a partridge, and her rich
Burmese dress was well fitted to show all
her beauties. The women here are clad in
two garments One of these is jacket of
silk, cotton or gauze, which reaches to the
hips, and another has bright sill<en skirt
which Is wrapped around the waist and
falls to the feet.
This skirt is square; it is about five feet
in width and is fastened by half hitch
with en- opening down at the front The
skirt Is so tight that when the girl walks
rapidly she shows her bare legs to the knee,
but by throwing out the heels and going
pigeon-toed the folds are prevented from
parting to an immodest degree. In lower
Burma many of the skirts are now sewn
together at the front on account of the
comments which foreigners have made
about the costume.
The dresses are Of different lengths. and
the richer women often have skirts which
trail upon the ground. The colors are
those of the rainbow, the most delicate
hues being used. My fair merchant wore
a jacket of gauze, and her skirt reached
as high as the armpits. The jacket was
so thin that the brown skin could be seen
through the meshes, exposing the neck.
shoulders and arms. She had a beautiful
face Her eyes were large. soft and brown,
with eyelids just trifle oblque and high
arching, delicate brows. Her hair, which
was glossy black, was rolled up In a pyra-
mid on the crown, and fastened there with
bright golden comb She wore a neck
lace of pearls, to which were hung pen
dants OF amber, and a double string of
pearls fell as low as her waist. She had
seven gold bracelets on each of her wrists,
diamond ring on her finger and diamond
/ plugs in her ears. She was, judge, about
Is years of age, but girls mature here at
Is. and she was a woman grown.

two bad cuts in his head, which he
said had been inflicted by a beer-glass
in the hands of one of the brothers.
He said they had come to his place and
he had treated them to a drink or two
at their suggestion, and that they had
misbehaved themselves and words had
ensued. They were put out of the
place by a policeman, but later, Weisels
testified, they came back with a gang
and made a mess of his place. They
were then arrested by Policemen Col
Inns, Hopkins and Brex. Weisels said
the gang" had stolen a chair from
his place also.

too much: in fact. I see by
the comparisons made by the
EVENING STAR that we arc
now paying double. and in some
cases triple. what subscribers in other
cities are paying for the same service.
This is a condition hat should not
exist here or anywhere else. The rates
should be uniform, or as near SO as
they can possibly be made. If after
the present investigation is at end the
telephone company shows the public
why we are forced to pay the present
prices. all well and good: no one will
be the sufferer
President Guild characterized the
movement as a very timely and peril

other cities. Newark suffers greatly.
Mr.. Guild said. both in the matter of
rates and in the service.
Anything that has for its object the
bringing about of lower telephone rates
meets with my hearty approval" Mr..
Guild said, for. to my mind, at the
present time We are paying far more
than we should be forced to pay Of
course. We all agree thai the telephone
is one OF the necessities of business
life. but then again we like to feel
that we are not being imposed upon,
and that is something that we cannot
dc under the present arrangements.

Alderman Shape said that he was in
of senator Osborne's resolution or
anything that would tender to bring
about a reduction in telephone rates. fIe
said that the proposed investigation
into the telephone company's affairs
could not help but bring about the de-
sired results--a reduction in the tele-
phone tolls.
Mr.. Eggers voiced the same senti-
ments, and said that he would indorse

cially at this time, when they are
being imposed upon by a monopoly
which controls the telephone company.
