 After the mans departure Jane walked to the window, gazing over the great expanse of office buildings and far out to the lower bay. It was wonderful view from this high floor of the great downtown skyscraper Indeed, it was Just such a view, from just such handsome ly furnished office, that she had pic tlred in her minds eye, back in the Ht- tie old home town, during the months of preparation for the big adventure III the metropolis.

 How huge New York was!
 She felt so tiny and unimportant Tn the great swarm to which she had come rom the comparatively isolation of the httle town on the Ohio river.

Is an important detail In its finishing.
The skirt is instep length and just

The neat effect of machine stitching
Is emphasized by placing II on narrow

applied around the coat. 1t appears

Wages Increased i'm Janan

According to an interesting report
issued last month by the Osaka Cham
bcr of Commerce, wages in 1873 differ
ent trades presented a sound increase.
The average for the first half of the
present year showed an increase Of
twenty-t and seven-tenths per cent
over the first half of last year, which
was seventeen per cent increase over
the closing six months of. the previous
year. These increases are regarded as
comparatively heavy and in some sec
tions the increased cost Of labor is
complained of. On the average, how
ever, it does not meet the increased
cost of living. Japan Society Bulic-
