This check of yours,' said the large-hearted cashier to Brushly, the impressionist painter, lis drawn ex- ceedingly we'll and in composition seems to be pretty nearly perfect; but it lacks background Mir Brushly. But for that it would be a work of art. Your foreground is charming, but just trifie too-well, shall we say too fanciful?'
 q don't know what you are driving at, growled Brushly. T suppose you know what you mean, however. What kind of background would you sug- gest?"
 "Cashi' said the cashier. "A work of art like this, calling for the pay ment of $50, is not wholly convincing with sketchy little overdraft of s2.S9 on deposit to provide the necessary contrasts in light and shade and to give the thing what we might call balance"
 Whereupon Brushiy, like the self respecting man he was, snapped his fingers under the impudent fellows nose and transferred his overdraft to the trust company across the street. Judge.

 The younger women are showing a preference for walking shoes that re- semble the boots which men wore generation or so ago. This resem- blance doesn't go much farther than appearances as the shoes lace on the inside. the facing being made as in conspicuous as possible. These pret- ty make-believe boots are worn in light tans. in tan and brown, in gray, and in black. A pair of them is glimpsed here.
 A real boot, called the Cossack boot, shows promise of developing in to fad with the younger women. It has short leg. turning back at the top in a band, usually finished with decorative pattern in cut-out work. It is jaunty, saucy bit of foot wear which looks we'll with the Rus sian styles in gowns or the snappy military modes that mingle their dash ing style with others of the new sea son.

It is long waisted and opens at the front, where, like many others, it is laced with a cord A wide band at the bottom takes the place of belt and is prettily finished with buttons set on at each side. This Is a simple gar ment that slips over the head, and is, very good style.
 Quite like the middy suit in appear ance, there is a one-piece design with short trousers set on to a plain blouse with the waist little heightened. It opens at the throat with lacing and has belt made of the material that fastens at the front with a single but ton. It is supported by straps sewed to the blouse. This is made of dark linen with lighter collar and cuffs, and is furnished with a small handkerchief pocket. The youngster slips into it feet first and is well equipped for romping.
 There are good designs in short coats and Eton jackets to be worn over the short blouse, to which the trousers are buttoned Besides these, there are the long Russian blouse suits, and in these the blouse reaches almost to the bot tom of the pants. Ill these the belt is of patent leather or suede and is worn low. The opening is at the front and is fastened with buttons and button holes. Good-looking little coats of serge are much like the Russian blouse, but are open from neck to belt and fasten with buttons down the front

Messrs. Munroe and Nugent Protest
Against Sewer Assessments.

i n p ~ 6 .hs q .
Monday evening was the time set
by the council for making the assess
ment against abutting property for
the new sanitary sewer on G avenue
west. The final adjustment of the
matter, in the absence of the city
solicitor, was continued to the next
regular meeting, February Is
Two protests against the assess
ment we're made, one by C. E. Munroe
who complained of the excessive cost
to his property, and the other by f.
| ID .Nugent. In addition to the for
NAL protests filed by these men, Mr.
| MunToe represented his interests in
person and Mr. Nugent was repre-
sented by attorney, ID. c. Waggoner,
who presented the matter in detail.
Mr. Nugent objects to the assess
ment as made against the major por-
ton of his property on G avenue west
for the reason that he already has
sewer running by all Of his places
with the exception of those on the
north side of G avenue, and these lat
ter are not party to the protest filed
and this fact is acknowledged.
Some years ago when Mr.. Nugent
was improving this property, erect
ing new dwellings,, etc, he found that
sewer connection was desirable For
the privilege of constructing sani-
tary sewer and connecting with city
sewer that was constructed along
street, Mr.. Nugent gave the city a
part of street along r avenue, grad.
ed both F and G avenues through his
property and made the city q present
of alleys through his tract. In addi-
ton to constructing an eight or ten
inch sewer for his houses, Mr.. Nugent
furthermore paid into the city treas
ury the sum of twenty-five dollars for
each and every tappage made upon
his own sewer. He has a number of
lots in the subdivision plotted not yet
improved, but the sewer tappage is
ready at the rear of the lot when il
is needed. The property owner feels
that the building of a sewer at the
front OF his lots by the city has been
OF no benefit to his property as he
already has sewer accommodations at
the rear. He therefore objects to the
assessment being made against him.
he states, however, that he is willing
to pay the tappage fee of $25.O0 for
each and every additional tappage
made upon his sewer by his proper
ties as they may come into use.
Mr.. Nugent also points out irregu
larities and questions as to legality in
the procedure of the council in the
adoption of resolutions, ETC., that
might be bar to legal assessment.
The council thought best to pass the
assessment for the time being in or.
der to have more time for the con-
slderation of the points cited by Mr..
Waggoner.
Numerous other routine of a regu-
lar session was considered and an
early adjournment taken.
