SHOP WHILE YOU EAT IS FAD IN
 NEW YORK

New York. July 7.-Shopping while you eat Is the newest time and lab or saving invention in New York. It Is done in the Ann-Fulton Cafeteria of tho r. W. c. A.
 A professional shopper. Mrs. Mabel Terwilliger. takes lot of summer dresses, hot weather hats and blouses to the cafeteria for a noone hour sale once a week. Business girls of the Wall Street district can eat a lunch and buy a gown all in the same building and in the same noon hour.
 For a long time the business wom- on who work down there have been complaining about their shopping troubles. Their noon hour is too short to allow them to get uptown to the stores. And their closing time in the afternoon is also the closin g time of the shops. Saturday after noon. which they have free. most of the up town shopkeepers use as a holiday, too.
 Mrs. Terwilliser began a shopping bureau at the cafteria a few days ago. She or her assistant, Mrs. Ber- nice Schweider, are at a desk on the fifth floor of the cafeteria. every noon hour. They match silks. buy gowns and hats and gloves. They search out all kinds of difficult things like orchid silk and party hats. If their purchases are not satisfactory they take them back and make another try. The entire shopping service Is free. It was through this personal shopping service that Mrs. Terwilli- ger got the idea of a big sale with costumes for street, office, vacation and evening wear. Mrs. Terwilliger -1@ @nI. t,, in India, France and women in all parts Of America She dresses dozens of women whom she has never seen.
 Women are spending more money and buying better clothes now than they ever did, Mrs. Terwilllger said "Of course. I realize prices have gone up and theX have to pay more. But they are dressing better. Some of my business women customers who never would pay more than s29 to s3s for . suit now think nothing of spending from s69 to SIS on them.'
 Along with the shopping conven- fence there is a manicurist at the cafeteria every noon. She also will come back after five o'clock for any who desire. And there are shampoo parlors planned for the near future. There are rest rooms and dressing rooms for the girls who want to stop in and rest between work and dinner or to change their clothes be- { fore going to a party at night.
 A professional mender is to be on hand within a few days She will have her needle and thread ready to sew up any sudden rip or tear. And she will take mending home at a specified price per hour.
 The AnnFulton is much more than a cafeteria. It has a top floor devot- ed to just being useful.

should be begun early in the plant s life, and very low down, so that the desired thick growth is maintained from the bottom up. Thirdly, what ever tends to hinder the flow of sap from the roots to the upper parts of the plant vii stimulate growth on the lower portions. For this reason, roses and other things which would be bare and unsightIy at the bot tom, if allowed to take their natural course, are often bent over to the ground to a horizontal position, and then given another bend to the up- right nearer the end of the stem

ANNIVERSARY OF HANGING
 OF LINCOLN'S ASSASSINS.

On July :. 1865, Mrs. Mary F. Sur ratt. Lewis Payne, David F. Harold and George A. ~Atzarodt, who with John Wilkes Booth had conspired to kill Abraham Lincoln and his Secre- .ary of State, William H. Seward.
 Booth. as is well known, was shot to death in the barn to which he made his flight after his flight from Wash ington when his murderous attempt on the great Presidents life had suc- ceeded. The four other conspirators were roWded up within a short time and placed on trial. There were more persons implicated in the conspiracy than just those four, particularly John H. Surratt, son of the woman who was tried and convicted. The son. however, escaped the gallows
 A very interesting story was told some time ago by Lieut.. Col Christian Rath concerning the hanging of those convicted. He had charge of the hanging. Rath at that time took an oath not to tell what he knew or Lncoln's conspirators and kept his oath for forty-six years. Upon being relieved of his oath, according to Rath, the march to the gallows was headed by Mrs. Surratt, walking be- tween two priests. She was dressed in black and heavily yelled. The priests came. carrying crosses in their hands and reading service for the flying. Four soldiers followed her. Behind them came Atzerodt, guarded by soldiers and accompanied by a Lutheran minister. He had chains
 upon his ankles and these clanked as he walked unsteadily toward the scaffold. sThen fo1Nwed Herold, Booths attendant on the night of the flight. He was a mere boy and Is said to have cringed like a coward. Last came Payne, who was absolutely fear lsa. It. Col. Rath. telling his own story of the proceedings, says: When the nooses had been adjusted and caps pulled over their heads I wait cd for some time before giving the signal for knocking the posts from under the drop" Col Rath hoped that pardon or reprieve might come for Mrs. Surratt. But none came and at signal given. the drops fell and the four bodies shot down to- gether. The bodies were put into boxes and buried. Rath himself talk

 Bachelors seven in the United States senate. of whom Senator Bran degee of Connecticut is said to be the best dressed figure, are approaching another leap year, and as none Of them is known as a woman hater there are bets being placed on which of the seven will be the first to listen to his own wedding bells. They are called The Seven Incorrigibles," a little group of wilfui men,, and Some other spitefu little things. but it is someone besides the senator from Utah who says they might well be called the Seven Wise Men. Three sf them are from Harvard and there s Brandegee- Yale '85. Ser;stor Frank Bosworth Brandegee of Connecticut, is held by the fair sex to be particularly culpable, being ad- dicted to brilliant plumage.
