CAR STRIKE SETTLED.

Cincinnati.-The street car strike, in
volving several thousand men, has been
settled. Prior to this contest the men
employed upon the traction lines were un-
organized, but in the effort to form an or
ganization conditions arose that precipi-
tated strike, which continued for over a
week. An agreement has now been
reached whereby the questions at issue
are to be determined by board of arbi-
tration, the board having already been Sc
lected. The Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
association has been materially increased
in membership by the success achieved
in this city and in Buffalo, N. Y, where a
successful strike recently took place.

Workers, employed by the Water. Light
and Power company, recently went on

partment a union shop. The new wage
scale provides that first-class wiremen are
to receive 1885; second-class wiremen,
1855; linemen, $3.50: meter men, $2.70,
and helpers to be paid according to time
of service and ability. Other employers

that makes up successful costume.
Fortunately. one has a very wide
choice in wells, so no woman need wear
an unbecoming one unless she does so

woman wishes to look her best
Youth can carry OF almost anything

Ii is the duty of every woman TO give
such care 10 her toilet that none other
than herself shall realize the period
has arrived. Equally certain Is the
approach Of middle age and gray hair
which, too, must be faced and fought

At this stage the wise woman CON
siders her corset" and usually her Golf
fure also. Her aim now will be to
look smart and up to date rather than
youthful.
She will be particular as to the
tewelry she wears. lest its brilliancy

see that her furs supply warmth in
every sense of the word.
Women of all ages want to look
their best in a photograph, but few

goYned is happy one. while. on the
contrary, there Is no modification
equal to the realization that one is

IN STRICT CONFIDENCE

Copyright lsI3.l
ONCE the world began It has been
~. the desire of every normal woman
to appear attractive. and when
nature has not been generous to her
in point of looks, she is both anxious
and willing to use every means to aug
ment or enhance such charms as she
may already possess.
Instinctively her thoughts turn
toward dress as the most important
aid in her endeavors. without a doubt
she is entirely right. Not infrequently
has a professional beauty gained her
reputation solely because she has dis
covered exactly the right colors and
designs that will bring out her good
points and conceal her imperfections.
But not, all women are gifted with
an instinct for selecting exactly what
is suited to them. This does not imply
that they lack good taste. Not at all.
Such persons will often most wisely
criticize the toilet worn by their
friends, but when 1t comes to choosing
for themselves their confidence is apt
to forsake them. They know intuitive-
ly when anything Is altogether wrong.

suffer most from their sartorial errors.
Far better for their peace of mind

divided into Just two classes, the blond

the stout and the thin, and faces were
round or oval only. then the question
of becoming colors and styles would be
a very simple one.
But these types are subdivided into
a number of different classes, and this
is what makes It difficult for a woman
to choose exactly what is becoming to
her. Take the case of a colorless
blond. She would look .lifeless dressed
in the colors which make the roseate
blond so attractive.
Likewise the sallow brunette should
avoid the delicate. shades becoming to
the fair brunette.
Then there is the between color
type-which includes those who are
neither dark nor fair-to be considered.
Again, It is obvious that the short,
fat woman will not look well in the
gown her tall, slender sister carries so
gracefully, because such a model win

erous charms; while the thin woman
