[The number of old women who beg
on the streets socms larger this year
than ever before, says the New York
Sun. All the well known types are
out. int one role seems to be the
famrito. A wretched, poorly clad. t‘ce-
blc Old woman stops :1 passerby. llc
is proof against the pitiful tale. of the
artful beggar; but this respectable old
soul doesn’t want to beg. Far from it.
She wants only information.
‘Is it a long 11.1111 to 168th sheet,
sir?” she asks in a t10111ulous.11ca-ry
tone.
“About .1 hundied and fifty blocks.”
The woman sighs and turns away
without another word. Then the vic-
tim does the expected thing.
“Why did you ask?” he says.
f‘Ol1, I know’a lady up there that
would help me, and I’m going up to
ask her for work and something to
out, but it’s a long walk.”
She gets 11 cnrf-are 'and goes on her
way rejoicing. If she isn’t on her way
to some charitable friend, she is bound
for a hosmtal and doesn’t quite see
how sihe can walk so far. In the
course of one afternoon’s shopping last
week a young woman met five respect-
a'ble locking old women, all ‘of whom
were toiling toward Harlem benefac-
tors.
but it is a good one.
A Grave Dissappoinhneut.
“The small son of the people.” says
the Philadelphia Record “and his l-it
tle sister were inside the gloat 1Vest
Philadelphia church for the fnst time.
‘Um—m—my! but it’s a. beaut place,
he whispered. ‘I bet people wot be-
long here comes every time day can.’
Her breath came to her in little gasps.
Her soiled little finger pressed on his
with thrilled intensity. Her eyes feast-
ed on the splendid chancel. ‘Henven
mus’ be next door,’ she said. ‘They
hardly moved thrdughout the service
and never once let go each other‘s
hands, for it was as a strange laud.
At last the sweet-voiced procession of
choir boys came down the aisle. At
its head was a slim young scraph. with
a. face as fair and pure as the linen
he wore. Faint, dark circles beneath
his eyes completed the ethereal effect.
‘15 dem angels?‘ the little girl began.
but stopped short, surprised at the
look on her brother’s face. ‘Dat kid
in front’s ‘Bill’ Griggs, wot I licked
last week for swipin’ tings from olc
Mrs. Maguire’s apple stand. He ain't
got over dcm black eyes I gev ’im
yet. Come 011, let's get out.’ His face
was Stern and set as they went. She
furiively wiped a tear.”

A Brown Velvet Costume.
The biscuit-colored cloth gown, illus-
trated herewith, is designed for the
purpose of calling. This is made
with a sham lower skirt, the material
extending only fifteen inches above
the edge. The upper skirt is a. smooth
circular model, closing at the left side,
where the placket is concealed under
the brown velvet edge, which, laid un-'
der the square cloth tabs shown in the
illustration, forms the rich decoration
of the costume.
The bodice is smooth fitting in the
back, but, while drawn so as to follow
the lines of the figure in the front, is
yet free from darts. The rovers,
which are cut away squarely from the

collar expands to the proportions of a

stock, chemisette, and cravatte are of
pale maisecolored mousseline.The close
fitting sleeves are finished similarly to
the front of the skirt and front of bod-

used in the hat, which is of sable-brown
velvet and soft shaded feathers.

AN OLD BUT coon ANECDOTE.
the Story of the Irishmanis Experiences £11
Battle.
This gallant son of Erin need never
fear that he will be cornered. He was
among the first. to oflt'er his services
at the beginning of the war, but his
employer, who did not want to lose
his services, whispered into the car
of the examining surgeon that Mike
had once been made temporarily deaf
by an explosion in a. mine and that
his hearing had never been good
since.
“DO you hear well?" asked the doc-
tor, when Mike was under medical
inspection.
“Loike a weasel, sor.”
“Has your hearing always
good ?"
“Splindid, 501'.”
“See here. my man, weren't you in a
mine explosion before you came to
Detroit, and wern’t you totally deaf
for weeks after?” '
“Not. me, sor,” replied Mike without
hesitation. "I could hear ivery w'urrud
that wore wrote to me, sor.”
‘ Mike was accepted, as he deserved
to be, and was in the great land bat-
tleof the war. He was wounded in
the chest and came home on furlough.
He was made so much of that he felt
justified in exaggerating his experi-
ences. Among other things he got to
telling that “the bullet Wint right
t’rough me here," as he put his hand
over his heart.
Mike told this to the same surgeon
when a. number of others were pres-
ent, and the doctor saw a chance to
get even. “Mike! Mike!” he exclaim-
ed, “stick to the truth. If the bullet
had taken the course you say, ,it would
have gone plump through your heart.
Tell that to some ignoramus that docs
not know anything about anatomy."
“Pb-mt are yez talkin’ about?" re-
torted Mike, who was evidently think-
ing fast. “Shore, it’s the book l’nrnin'
that’s foolin' yez, doc. There wasn’t
a. mother’s son wint up the blazin’
bloody hill thot day as his heart wasn‘t
