FIcHU ARRANGEMENTS.

A 1chu may be arranged in So many different ways that it will give the wearer the appearance of possessing a great variety of costumes.
 The following are some suggestions for it's arrangement:
 It may be short and crossed at the front under the girdle or fastened by a pin in the center of the girdle.
 The longer shape may be tied around the waist and finished in short but teriy bow made of the ends.
 Long ends hanging from short loops may be arranged in two strii.s or one over the other down the center of the pack panel.
 Fichus of fine lace or tuIe may be arranged with very long ends at the back that sweep down into train.
 At the back there may be used a bunch of roses or silk
 The long oval form of lace, dotted with tiny silk roses and arranged across the back. is a chic finish, es- pecially if the lace or net fchu be over a lowered organdie.
 Jewels or beads are other decorations used on silk If the fichu be edged with plaitings of silk.
 The black net fichu can be caught at the front and the back under a velvet girdle.

LETTERS I'D THE EDITOR
Tight Squeeze.


 Mir. Editor: One couldn't squeeze a Troy ounce (4So grains) of gold dust into receptacle that will hold only an aYoirdupois ounce (437 1-2 grains) of the same material
 Neither would an avoirdupois pound ef.oo0 grains) of sugar be just the same in weight as Troy pound t5.s60 grains) of it.
 But little differences in weight and ca pac-ty hsTeE't counted with d cer- tain New York packer.
 During the last two years he has been packing olives. At first. one of h-s faNoTite bottles contained accord ing to its label, '.1S fluid ounces' the second year the label on an exact du- plicate of the bottle declared that the bottle contained "12 fluid ounces; ; and we now find. by the present label, shat the bottle is s-ounce one
 If Oliver were courting Olive he might astnnish yosr, but he evidently couldn't make a tighter squeeze than tEIs greedy packer has been doing
 How can olives be so susceptible of compression? Is sweet pickle likewise affected by the sweet manipulation of the packer?
 The Scriptures intimate that it was net we'll to put new wine into old Cslin) bottles; else the bottle break
 Nouldnt ii also be advisable not to put new olives into any Of the old tSlassp betties having the false labels :? For Ir- Wiley's '-vials of wrath might burst and pickle the packer.

THE PUBLIC UTILITIES LAW.

It appears that the Connecticut company has no intention of rushing up to the supreme court of errors to have the constitutionality of the measure tested.
 The New Haven n-JournaI-Courier has submitted the question to the press bureau Of the company as to whetier it had formally decided to test the constitutionality of the public utilities law or whaather it proposed to open its records to the commission in the Manchester rate case. The com pany's answer was that it expected to comply with the orders of the com mission and that there is no reason for raising any issue as to the consti- nationality of the law.
 The company alleges that the de- manded reduction of fares between NJ Manchester and Hartford is too great and would iniperil their dividends and doubtless they feel competent to prove this to the satisfaction of the commits sion by the book account and have no fear as to it's conclusions.
 The constitutionality of this law has been questioned by many, but the Connecticut company does not appear to have any deep convictions of this sort Its ready acquiescence to the provisions of the law and it's apparent co afidence that under it no injustice is likely to be done make an end of the apprehensions of it's opponents who so loudly decried the measure when it was on it's passage in the legisla ful-e
