To-day's hearing on the carriage Nght ordinance before the Aldermanic Com- mitteo ought to settle the matte: There has never been a necessity for a hearing. The arguments are all on one aide, Having no voice and no cause on the day originally wet for the Com- mittes's session, the opporition resorted to delay, and te-day’s continuation of the sitting ts the result, But this should end it. ‘The proposed ordinance meets the approval of the public. When the Aldermen adopted the measure, thelr course was promptly and generally approved. Other cities were quick to follow the lead and seck to establish a like law. The reconsidera- tion of the vote of adoption brought a shock to New Yorkers, It did not change the opinion in this city, nor in other cities, that the ordinance was just and wise and should stand, Mayor Strong, a practical man and himself a carriage owner, stands ready 40 approve the measure, He should quickly have the chance.

DBAMATICNEWS AND NOTES The romance is squashed. It ha broken with a sull, yet dickening, thud. Her identity has been discovered. thanks—or, rather, no thanks at all—to the perpetual and discouraging recogn!- tion of one who knows everybody. Since Bunday, all the Rialtoites who were at Manhattan Beach have been discussing the skittish person of the feminine g@n- der who, In the garb of conjugal reavement, parodied with All the coquet- tishly modern improvements, swept about the ples#a of the hotel, like a zephyr recovering from the loss of Its zephyr-ette, She wore crape weeds that said, “I loved him," but with th weeds wore Ilac flowers that added, “I am gradually forgetting that fact." Her tune wown had all the gloom knocked out of it by a very decollete bodice, from which her pale, sequestered flesh effervesced naughtily, A huge bunch of violets marked the limit to which her decollete daring had perse- vered. She fanned herself with a black satin affair, upon which white flowers —symbols of woe, tempered by a chaste and lovely hope—were rudely but con- spicuously painted. Her skirts rarely tuuched the ground. They seldom came within half @ foot of ft. In fact, they shunned the ground with a fervor that just lacked being pathetic. She was not lovely, although that was not her fault he Was not even as young as no doubt she had been when Manhattan was a story less incandescently told.

Hair-Dress A simple colffure for girls from thir- teen to fifteen, just beginning to take their hair up, is formed by drawing all the hair back and dividing off a part across the lower part of the head from ear to ear. The upper part is twisted into a small, round comfort coil, the lower part of it not naturally curling is wound slightly and curled out to fall over the shoulders, A second style may be worn by girls slightly older who have abundant hair, The hair is divided across from ear to ear, The upper division is braided about elght inches long, then the lower is plaited in a short braid. The braids are looped and the ends tucked under the upper division, Buttonhole-Mak! a Science. Always mark the buttonholes, and be careful to accurately measure the dis- tances they are to be apart. Then cut the first one and pass the button through; mark the size of the rest with! thread or chalk and cut them with reg- ular buttonhole scissors, then overcast the edges with twist and bar each hole— that 1s, take a long stitch on each sid leaving the stitch apparently on the surface, about one-sixteenth of an inch from the edge.
