The OBJECTION TO JOHN.

The Gaylords and Nelson's have
always been neighb0rs and intimate

tWenty-four, as fine fellow as ever
was, began 20 see what an altogeth-

Indeed, as the "affair" became se-

evening after evening John talked
to Molly on the front porch, often
lingering after the other Nelson's

The surprise Of the two was con-

and presently Mr. Nelson appeared

had gone to bed and then got up

Mouy's cheeks were burning, as

Francs Did Fancy Work.

Francs Did Fancy Work
During the old regime in France,
about which so much glamour re-
mains to us, the very men who were
living and making the history Of the
empire OF Louis passed their leisure
time in a way that seems to US OF
today utterly ridiculous. In all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
ed themselves the men seem 10 have

are embroidering. One Is working
Al piece Of dress trimming, the other
Marty founce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eye Of a
connoisseur, points out hero and
there the specially good touches and
Is too polite 70 notice any defects.
He takes q little gold tube out o..
the pocket OF his richly decorated
vaistcoat and selects a dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise is working and fin
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and, seizing one end of the
founce, assists Ismene, TO whom he
PAYS special attention, to complete
her task.
At this time il was the custom Of
the ladies' invariably to carry their
Sorkbags with them to the evening"
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
TIE last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots.
Gentlemen also carried deity EN-

TO ILLUMINATE EIGHTH
Plan Proposed to Make the Thorough
fare the Best Lighted in
the City.

Percy Richards, the new busi

Light and Power Co, is trying to
make new business for the compan,
by showing the merchants and Others
doing business on Eighth street how
beautiful the thoroughfare would ap
pear at night by a special plan Of
illumination he proposes.
The proposition is to install orna
mental iron lamp holders, IL feet high
each surmounted by a group of five
100 watt lamps, enclosed by large
opalescent globes. These lamps hold
ers are to be placed every 100 feet on
each side of the street between Com
mercial and Washington avenues-tae
number of poles required being IL
The cost for installing the poles
lamps, etc. would be ST foot or $21
a lot and the cost OF maintaining the
light service would be $50 year per
pole-$125 per month for each q
feet.
The establishment of such ser
vice would make very attractive
street at night. Mr.. Richards says
those merchants he has seen this far
favor the proposition. He has pictures
of the posts and lamps and a plat OF
the street showing the proposed loca
ton of the posts.
