A Remarkable Series of Snapshots Taken at the Wind-Encircled Building During Yesterday’s Blizzard. ee Shre Nich leptin Crass 7 ™ And Held NEW SKIRT GRIP TO ELUDE “RUBBERNECKS.” fave you learned the ‘Flatiron grip?” If not, practice it before wandering «Am the vicinity of Broadway and Twenty-third etreet. When the Gotham girl fret eircumnavigated the Flatiron Butiding she held up her skirt in the old-time fash- fon by grabbing it with left or right hand and hiking it a few inches above the @idewalk. But she speedily learned that Flatiron winds need no human afd in skirt-raising. The problem was to keep her skirt out of the sidewalk dust and out of the sky at the same time. This !- how she has solved the problem: She gath- ‘rs up a handful of the leftside of her skirt with her left hand. This’ portion of tkirt she transfers to her right hand, pulling the loose fotds of the skirt tightly (cross to the right side and leaving no fluttering yards of cloth for the wind to silevate. Thus, close-reefed, she 1s prepared to brave gales and rubbernecks alice, THE MAYOR’S BOUQUETS TO PARTRIDGE 4 SEE that Mayor Low in bis-message tosses avhearse load of bouquets at former Police Commissioner Partridge,” remarked The Cigar- Store Man. “Bouquets made out of language are cheap,” sald The Man Higher Up, “and in that line the Mayor is @ bouquet-maker who could get a card in the union without standing for even a preliminary-examinetion. But it-seems to me that he has a license-to throw flowers at the old Colonel:from Brook- lyn at that. “Partridge made a govlash of brass buttons and blue cloth ont of the force, but he had en idea of boiling it down and getting out the good. The mew Commissioner has ground up the goulash and is serving it up with terror sauce, At the present time the police force of New York ts jump- ing sideways every time a paper comes out, and no man with a shieM:knows ‘what is going to happen next. " “The whole trouble is thet the managers of the police force are trying to run ft on the plan of an army. If you hire a soldier to work for the @lory of the country and $16 @ month or thereabouts, he knows just what he has got to do. But if you hire a policeman to work for the city of New York at a salary that he couldn't get a smell of in any other business he don't know whether he is e regulator of the law-or a subject for-return to the subway. “This thing of-throwing hot wallops into the Police Department don’t do, and the Mayor eppears to be getting wise to it. Col. Partridge went into the game like Russell Sage lending money, but the men who have taken it onto themselves to run the city thought he was too-much-on the eold molasses. They wanted action, and they ere getting it, “Last Sunday Capt. O'Reilly closed up the billiard, pool and ping-pong games in the Tenderloin, The average billiard room is no Sunday-schodl, Dut it is better than the back room of a dive, and there are thousands of young. men in New York who have nothing to look forward to on Sunday but @ session with the Sunday papers in a hall bedroom or a game of pool “or billiards in a public place.

He held down his lodging Uptil’the show was out, and he wouldn't leave until the stage hands sent out apd got another cop to steer him to his beat. “On Saturday night I spent the evening with a friend who has a flat in @ respectable neighborhood in the middle east side. Getting along about 1. o'clock in the morning the pinochle session developed hunger and hunger developed a thirst.

All of this smakes votes for Low in the next election—I don't think, and he don’t think," “Do you think Mayor Low made # mistake in letting Partridge go?’ Zwicwardness upon the attention of all who ghance to meet them. ‘Phe prettiest girl charm if her galt, general carriage are ungraceful, ‘Phe prettiest or th learn to change her shuffling, tread into the firm yet light and ela tio step which bespeaks buoyancy of body and mind.

I was in no playful mood when Mar- gery's cousin. big and bronzed and thirty, and the possessor of a long and flowing black mustache, came ont to visit Margery’ eeries of odious comparisons—done ways in Margery’s laughing way ant probably not intended to hurt. But they id burt and mortally It wae just when I was feeling my worst when I met the widow. It was at @ party, to which, by the way, Margery had refused to accompany me, preter- ring to pee the look of impotent rage which adorned my face. As I stood biting my nats and wishing most heart- fly that I was somewhere else, when glancing acroas the room I was dezzied by a vision of loveliness which fairly Grove the tlood back upon my heart. It seemed that I had never seen eyes #0 black end saucy, a complexion so richly olive, ips so red and full and inviting, a chin go dainty and a form so alto- gether alluring.

I could think of nothing, talk of nothing but the widow, By that time 1 was calling her Nellie at her own suggestion delicately conveyed. My affair with Margery was forgotten, or, if remembered, it seemed wholly childish beside the flery passion of my new love-making, And the love-making was all 90 easy, There was none of the embarrassment so constantly -aris- ing Bi my relations with Mangery. ‘Tha widow's plump little hand seemed 80 invitingly near to mine at momenis when it was propitious-to give it a warm equeeze, and there were always 20 many perfect opportunities for quiet tete-a-tetes, And those tete-n-teter— there never were such delightful ones aince the beginning of time. I remember the first timo I kissed her. It was several weeks after I mot her. She had been particularly inviting and gracious. As I arose to go I came pretty near taking her in my arms—even |started toward her—but my tim{dity got the best of me umd I drew back. Just ‘then, in some unaccountable manner, jshe tripped and lurched toward me. ‘Well, wihat could I do but throw out my rms to save her, and {n an instant I d her in my arme—and when she was laccureiy there it all eeemed so natura that I squeezed her tight and planted ‘an ardent kiss full on her ripe lps. Her cheeks were aflame and sho drew several sharp breatas as she shrank from me, saying: “Oh, don't, Fred, you musn’t. I really that.” But I only held her the tighter and rained kisses upon her. ‘Then she sent me from her, telling me that she dared not trust herself with me longer. And I went home intoxteated with her beauty and chanms.
