Justice Jerome's “modified Sunday opening law" wins the approval of the State Association of Brewers, and they have committed themselves to eupport his plan. It is an entirely reputable alliance, and one that the exigencies of the situation would excuse if it wore not commendable In fact. The brewers represent $100,000,000 of invested wealth, and they are con- spicuousty on the side of order. If the Sunday mie of in the afternoon and 11 at night fs legalized, the main those who do not drink will be that side doors which surreptitiously all day and most of the night will be church hours and during the time of night when the indulgence is strongest. A feature appreciuted by the man behind the bar will be the absence of blackmail. It is not to be supposed that there will be any more disorder or any increase of the number of patrons. The Iimit of the latter is nearly reached in the quarter of a million persons who under the present conditions, as estimated by Justice Jerome, found no dif- fioulty in quenching their thirst during the forbidden hours of Sunday. Visible difference to closed tight during temptation to over- “There's no excuse for men drinking so much. Now. you never see a woman carry a flask in her pocket “No. She knows she'd never be able to find it." THE LADIES’ KENNEL SHOW. Many of the dogs now on view at Madison Square Garden, and all of the smaller ones, are born to the canine purple, as it were. They loll through life on silken cushions, and cuddle warmly In the laps of indulgent mistresses; and at the end, when the vital spark takes its departure from the feeble frame, they not infrequently find rest in a satin-lined coffin. ‘They form a canine aristocracy whose lot in life might be envied by some human beings to whom fortune has been less kind. But even the pessimist who deplores these inequalities of fate finds the exhibition under the auspices of the Ladies’ Kennel Association eminently interesting and praiseworthy. improvement of breed, &c., the show {8 admirable as an Indication of the increased feminine affection for animals. Babies are always better than dogs, but with women as with men it is hardly possible to err in loving dogs. As the venerable Edward Everett Hale recently put himself on! record as saying, possibly for the hundredth time, men muke a grave mis- take in not seeking a more intimate companionship with animals.

A man who can pass as a woman without discovery for thirty years enmes near breaking all records in the world’s history of sex masquerade, ‘The exploit of “Miss” Carver, who, as reported in this morning's World, con- dneted a candy store and barber shop in a Maine village (of all gossipy places!) and kept “her” secret until “her” own whim led to the disclosure of the ruse, has more features of interest attaching to !t than the case of Ellis Glenn, the man masquerader and heroine of two sensational trials in West Virgicia. For a man seeking to pass for a woman has need of more artful vare in concealment than a woman needs !n counterfeiting a man. What a lot of good etories and droll tales Carver could tell of his patrons who mistook him for a woman! Does he remember a tenth part of the rrcsculine compliments poured into his sholl-like ears as he bent low o'er his customers, while his smooth, soft hand guided the cool steel over their rough-chins and patted their fevered cheeks with the powder puff? If he doeg, half the town will feel sheepish at sight of him. With eeats for a Shakespearian drama selling for a quarter of a dollar and a Bronson Howard play visible for the price of two cocktails, it will be the impecuntous theatre-goer’s own fault !f he strays from the legitimate into forbidden fields of vaudeville. If “The Taming of the Shrew,” as given by the Donnelly company, does not recall the best traditions of Booth or Ada Rehan, and if the “Aristocracy” of the Grenwall troupe Is not that of Viola Allen and Faversham, surely no one in the audience can com- plain that he is not getting his money's worth. ‘Trusts are iniquitous and monopolies menace us all, but just now It would be hard to impress this fact on Wall street clerks who aro getting thousand-dollar bills for Christmas presents.

The Republican Postmaster of Riverhead, L. 1, !s In a predicament be- cause he has appointed tho daughter of a Democrat as his assistant, His former party friends have boycotted him and threaten to bolt the ticket If he does not remove her. Judging from the fair assistant's counterfelt pre- sentment as |t appears In The World this morning, she is eligible for the bonds of matrimony, and |f the Postmaster is a bachelor a way out of the difficulty may readily be found. But {t Is to bo feared that the standard of Republican gallantry in Riverhead {s not high. Firemen are always busiest {n winter.

Make your waist with a V- shaped yoke: trim the waist around the yoke with three rows of satin bande like the skirt trimming, but allow them to cross in front, interlacing each other and ending in points finished with black crochet buttons. One yoke and collar (you may make them detachable and have two or three for variety) may be of white taffeta, with small black inge medallions, Line the medallions with pale green allk and place them on tho yoke and collar about two Inches apart, connecting them with rows of Ujack velvet baby ribbon.

Dear Mrs. Ayer: 1f a young man asks permission to call for a young lady at her home to take her to church, &c., should she meet him at the door all prepared to go, or should her mother let him in and enter- tain him until the young lady gete her hat and coat on? Would it be correct for the mother to Invite him to call again? or whose place Is It? EIGHTEPN. T 4s Rood form to be ready at the tim | agreed upon, but not waiting at th door. The gentleman should be asked Into the parlor. It Is not necessary for him to remove his top coat, and {t would be good form for the mother to entertain him until the young lady comes In. It ts entirely correct for the mother to invite him to call again.

Would ‘flowers be proper? PHRPLEXED. TRLS usually do not send flowers to men. If by “keeping come pany" you mean that you have arrived at an understanding with this young gentleman and expect to marry, it would be quite proper for you to send him a little remembrance, as a birthdey gift—a card case, a allver pencil or a fountain pen.
