I ' Crocus Graham was the daughter of a
gallant ofllcer. who had died in his country‘s
service. She had been in a boardingschool
when he died, and her first experience of
l the real world was in a public office at
“’ashington. where she was set diligently at.
work.
She liked it. She gloried in thus sup-
porting herself and her mother. instead of
sinking to the level of millinery. boarding-
house keeping or genteel beggary.
She engaged board at the cheapest place
; which was consonant with her dignity as a
I lady. She mended her gloves and made
7‘ over her mother‘s caps and rejoiced greatly
in that she was independent of the world
which uses widows and orphans so hardly.

vichl into six bishoprics. iu I-ach of which
. are two male and two female bishops. Each
3 community or family has four cldI-is. two
l of each sex. The. bishops. who hold their
positions for life. choose their own suc-
cessors -» that is, when one dim or for some
, reason retires. the vacancy is filled by those
i remaining. However. it must be filled ac~
eeptably to the members. of the society. and
when the bishop is appointed who does not
give satisfaction he is removed and another
appointed in his place. The communities
are each given religious instruction and
1 guidance by four elders. when the order is
2 full—two of each sex. They hold their poei~
3 Lions for life and are appointed by tho
‘ elders. Equal prominence is given to men
and women in every respect. and equality
of the sexes is one of the governing princi-
ples of the orginization.
One of the principles of the Shakers in II
belief in the duality of the Godhead as
father and mother. It becomes rather a
serious task to be made a member of the
community. No one is admitted to full
membership or allowed to sign the covenant
under the age of twenty-one years. although
children are sometimes taken on probation.
If a man and his wife apply for membership
cy must agree to drop the marital relation
am to be to each other only as brother and
sister. If only one of a married couple seeks
admission to the society, that one must first.
be legally separated from the, other. The
Shakers believe that the advent of the
milleniuru will occur with the seven thou.
sandth anniversary of the world‘s creation
and that the increase in goodness will have
the effect of rapidly filling up the old
families and creating many new ones.
The Shakers drew plainly. The women
wear plain black stuff gowns and sun-bou-
nets made of straw, A large neekerchief
rests upon the shoulders. extending quite
acres them and falling to the waist in front
and behind in the form of a triangle ~vn‘th

combed back over the forehead and gather

dress in common suits of homespun. 'fliey

ter they perform various kinds of shop-
work, engaging principally in the manufac-
tureofhroonis. ”hie only article of food
absolutely interdicted is pork. Some, how:

There is a special line of work required
from hotel employees, which needs the ex-
ercise of extraordinary powers of memory.
The “ hat boy " who succeeds in the metro
politui hotel in filling his place acceptably
is sure of a berth for life. In all large hotels
of the city the hats of the guests are likely
to he left before any meal in a room adjoin-
lug the dining- -room. and they are left in
charge of the hat boy
Perhaps the most ranarknble of all but
boy. in New York is an attenuated little
man. who has charge of the hats of the guests
of tlieFifth Avenue Hotel. ‘ He a small and
wiry, and seldom seems. to take his eyes
~ from the racks which line the ante-room on
eitheruide. When he takes a visitor‘s hat
heghnces at his‘ face carelessly. and puts
the lat on one of the several racks. When
the man comes out of the dininga‘oom. an
‘ \Ollfi’l’ two later, the boy picks out his hat.
without a moment‘s hesitation, and hands it
to him. Often he has from three to four
hundred hats in his racks at one time. and
I in the course of six years he has never been
known to make a mistake. The hats look
very much alike. and it is a mystery to thi~
majority of diners how he remembers their
faces and their hats at the same time.
The. attendant was asked a night .or two
ago how it was his memory served him in
so many cases. and he said :
“ I don‘t know. It seems
ural."
‘ .. Do you pick out any particular feature
:If the wearer‘s face by which you fix him in
your memory 2‘“
“ Oh. no; that would never do. I re~
member the face itself. I look along the
nick and I seem to see the face that tit:
every hat. and when Allin!) comes out I go
wthc hat that is associated with his face
naturally. it doesn‘t make any ditlIrcnce
whether the 1m in has his hat on \\ hen he
comes in or not. III- hands it to me and I
look at his face. and ’soluchow I cannot for-
get it. The gcntlcmen of the house often
try to fool me. but they have never succcul—
ed in catching Inc in .. a blunder. For in.
stance, sometimes two of them will come in
looking somewhat IIlik’c and wearing hats
that arc exactly the saiuc pattern. One of
