A lady dropped an addressed but unstamped letter in the street. A gentleman found it, put the necessary two-cent stamp on it and sent it on ite way. The lady learned that "the letter had reached its destination, and wrote a graceful acknowledgment of the unknown's kindness to the Times. The person who found the letter saw that note and sent an- other to the Times expressing his "appreciation for her appreciation." This 'seems like a trivial matter for nowspaper commeni--only a two-cent stamp apd a few steps to a mailing box--yet many would have acted dif forently. Some with inherenu churlish- ness. would have thrown the letter in- to the gutter. Others with inherent meanness would have opened and read it. But, many would have done pre- cisely what the gentleman did who found that letter. Tt 4s in countless little things of this class "that a person's manners and character ave tested. It is as tonishing, however, what petty mean- ness many can display. Not long ago a business man Jeft his check hook on the shelf in a 'bavk.

One is struck at first by the diversity of shapes of the hats and the colars; and it would seem as though no face or complexion could but be . suited amid such a variety. Among the "tailor made hats" which are inténded for wear with the regular tailored suit of woolen, or of linen and those cotton fabrics which are built on similar lines, are" the varipus sailors and the new Eng- lish walkiug hats. The very newest of the former lias a very high crown nd narrow brim and, is. extremely PR i me styles of faces, bw there 18 the "Magnolia" sailor with a square crown whose narrow brim in front widens out at the sides and back at which point it has a decided roll ,while the "Bedford" has a mod- erate crown and rolling crown all the way around. In the English walking hat we find both the derby crown and the square; of the two the first is rather the newest. Many , of those and the square of the model have their crowns made of satin while the brim is made of straw and another novel idea, quite appropriate for the between season is the mix ture of straw and felt The trimming for these tailored hats are for the most part of velvet, chous of satin or silk, great pompons, quills handsome coque plumes, anc immense aigrett that are wide and long enough to half cover the hat Flowers are not so much used on the tailored hats but they certainly have their innings on the dress hats A stylish sailor was shown made of coarse blue chip with the new high crown and narrow brim, around which a scarf of blue chiffon drawn and tied ito a large bow on the side. Beneath on the high bandeau was massed a profusion of brown malin etto, a timely substitute for the per. ishable maline, and which is said will stand any amount of dampness Jokay walking shape is the name of a smart little hat in blue with sat- in crown in darker shade, in front rested on a great bunch of violets from which long sprays of maiden hair fern fell over the back and ban- deau covered with chous of brown satin. Hatpins headed with beauti- ful enameled butter-flies were used for fastening the Hat to the hair. Tur- bans have by no means lost their pop ularity and a very handsome hat of this order was built of yellow mack- inaw straw trimmed with bands of black chiffon velvet and black quills dusted with gold A "Magnolia" sailor in violine had a double chou of silk in a darker shade from which a long fan shaped aigrette shading from dark to light in color, spread out over the crown and back. underneath the rolled back and high bandeau was filled in with a quadruple box-plaiting of violine malinette Smartness itself was exemplified in an English walking hat of Jap straw, was its brim edged with black satin and a band of same about the derby crown while from a buckie on the left side fold a black coque plume. In black straw a fancy shaped tur- ban had no trimming but two brown wings fastened with an amber and jet buckle, while a white walking shape was trimmed in folds, a big bow on left side and a brown quill. Sometimes these shapes. come in wire tulle covered and self<trimmed, and will probably be very popular during the warm weather on account of their lightness. One was of the high crown sailor model, its wire frame covered with heavy pink point- d' esprit. Tilted slightly in the back on a pink point d' esprit covered ban- deat, its only trimming is one large rote that rests mn from of the left side of the crown. It is predicted and there is, every indication off its truthfulness that brown is to be one of the leading colors in millinery, emphasis is given to this by the prominence of brown bandeaux and Bandeau coverings, this color having guite superceded black for that pur- 16 snpteh a purse op the highway. pose 2 4 | Among he the sf apeau. the lace covered MEN AND WOMEN ci tna bandeau, that must be fit- © beautiful hat from this model, was Shnply trimmed with a wreath of abode and clusters 'of the same among the tulle that hid the bandeaun duder a fluted under the left side over the hair an dress.

Misses Suffer Cruel Hardships and Gel "Fired'--Society Made a Flourishing Start. . New York, Feb 14. -- Chorus girls want to be unionized. They just won't be poked fan at and worked to death for low wages any mofe, so there, now! The recent expose of conditions un- der which members of the Metropoli- tan Opera Cos chorus labor, shows that trained singers who know 60 or 70 operas, who can sing them in three or four languages, who are kept busy yearly every night in the week, to say nothing of long hours of rehearsals, as exacting as regular performances, get only $15 per week. The chorus singer, man and woman, from grand opera down to the cheapest burlesque, claims 'that his or 'her labor is the poorest remunerated that can be cited, The effort of the Conried chorus in its recent strike fo better conditions is not the first that has been made this season as at the beginning of the pres- ent theatrical year Miss Annelle Mar- tin, of the Marie Cahill Co. organized the Chorus Girls' union. These officers were elected: Olga May, president; Lucille Munroe, vice-president; Ther- esa Barron, secretary; Virginia Stein- hardt, treasurer, and Louise McDonald, walking delegate. The society made a flourishing start: and would soon have rolled up a big membership, but, discreet managers saw in it a menace, so they quietly re- quested the girls to give up their afgan- ization "in the interests of art."

Cream striped voile embroidered in blue spots.' was made from an Eton model with which was worn a blue covered with blue kid stamped with brown! figures to match the great mass of brown tulle that covered the bandeau of the hat Some odd parasols were made of alternating rows »f ribbon insertion, some are. hand-painted with mast brilliant flower designs, others are of cream silk edged with a rufile cream chiffon, above which, on each section is a design in point lace, something that could be carried but by clever needle-worhen; again they are covered with insets of fine lace below which the otter! silk is cut away to show the interlining. One of this order had a flight of butterflies worked upon in the different sizes, cach butterfly had been' embroidered in some delicate pastel shade and gold. Many parasols are made of tulle or chiffon gathered or flounced over a color or white lining, and often caught with imitation jewels The handles are no less work of art, stamped kid, ivory, carved woods, inlays of mother-of-pearl, designs in enamel, burnt woods and in fact, about every substance' "and device known to art; but it iS among many a fad to have the handle perfectly plain and of a color to match the ground color in the dress Many black silk parasols have black handles, but the covering is cither embroidered in silks or in the new ribbon embroidery now 'so fashion able, or may be they -are hand paint ed.

The fact is overlooked that in grand opera especially, many of the chorus singers are men and. women of advane- ed years, who have on their shoulders the cage of families, and who in real life are just.as prosaic as the humblest artisan, Many of them have studied for lead. ing roles, and have some day hoped to be world famous tenors Or SOPranos. They have in many cases waited for engagements, and spent many weary years in disappointed hope before being forced to the final admission that nature had not dealt kindly enough with them to make them the Fausts, Marguerites, the Lohengrins, the Brunhildes, Seig- frieds, etc. With this knowledge comes the still more pathetic discovery that the pass- ing of time has unfitted them for any- thing but chorus work, so whether they tanks there it little hope A few years in the chorus wears the color and beauty from any voice, then Al chance of advance is absolutely gone, and the singer must be. reconciled to a life of slavish work for a pittance. The Origin of "Brummagem." "Prummagem' is a word that has caused philologists a great deal of { trouble. The records of the last five | conturies, however, show that the name of Birmingham has been spelt in |a good many aiffernt ways at differ ent times, and one of such ways, used in the seventeenth century, was "Bro micham." In Holland's translation of Camden's Britannia (edition 1010), the town is called *'Bremicham," and the writer describes "Bremicham, full of inhabitants, and resounding with hawm- mers and anvils, for it is full "of smiths." In a curious poem, published in 1699, a certain. knight is described as being a shield, "wrought by Mulei ber, the mayor of Bromingham." The term Drummagem itself has now of course come to . mean that which is false as compared with the real arti ele. This use of the word is attributa- ble, doubtless, to the reputation for imitation jewellery which the town has obtained, honestly enough in the first instance at all events, during the past century or so. Clever Princess. Princess Henry of Battenburg is one of the most accomplished members of the royal family. She paints well, 1s a good judge of art, collects rare old lace with 'all the acumen of a ooh noizseur, and in addition is a clever musical composer and brilliant pian. te.
