Fashion In Cities Tends Toward Restaurant and Hotel Life. New York Sun. Whether or not all well-to-do New Yorkers will ultimately come to live in apart ment hotels is a question which, of course. the future alone can answer. Probably the millionaires, at any rate, will keep to their own Independent houses. The inclination to live in the apartment hotel is, however, the most marked ten dency in New York's social ways that has been exhibited for a long time. Since flats were first built there has been no such decided novelty ill New York's manner of living. One need only ride on the West Side elevated road to observe what a part they have come to play in the city's achltecture. Nearly every side street possesses its apartment hotel towering above the dwell ing houses that formerly held exclusive possession of these streets. And the new hotels of this kind are al most as expensive as a single house, if a tenant desires to live with anything like the same degree of comfort. This way of living has long ceased to be economical. It may be cheaper theoretically than main taining a house; but it will cost quite as much unless the entire manner of living is restricted, Just as one s living space is. Nevertheless, the apartment hotels to-day are crowded until more and more must be built, not because they, are Inexpensive, but because they are convenient. Wealthy men and women who have social obligations and enjoy social pleasures might never have taken to these hotels but for a change in New York's way of entertaining. Now it is quite as usual to give a dinner in a restaurant as in one's own house and there is not to-day a social function on the list that cannot be "pulled off," as the language of the ring would have it, just as well m a restaurant as in a host s own house. And there is no question of the popular ity of this way of entertaining. Young women who are Just beginning to go out in society like a restaurant dinner better than a dinner at home because tho lire and variety of it are hew to them. Older women like it because the monotony of dining In private houses is in this way broken. Both men and women like it because there is much more to be seen in a res taurant than there ever is by any possibility at a private dinner. Then there is a cer tain freedom from restraint that most men enjoy, whatever the superiority of certain private wines and cigars may be. And although it may be a shock to some of those who are proud of their private chefs, the dinner is usually better cooked in a restaurant providedt of course, that one goes always to the right restaurant. Almost any restaurant Is, in the opinion of some men, likely to cook a better dinner than the casual Incumbent of the kitchen at home. Dances have always been given at res taurants in this city and there was a time when such entertainments were more common comparatively than they are to-day. Formerly there were only two or three private ballrooms in New York. Now there are more, and in many city houses it is possible to give a very elaborate ball. Hut this is the only form of entertainment that is less popular in the restaurants than at home. Dances are still given in restaurants by hostesses who have email houses and sometimes by those who have plenty of room, but find it less trouble to hire some place outside their own homes than to have the house turned inside out. For this same reason, private musicals are given occa slonally in restaurants and in the rooms of a certain exclusive Fifth avenue club unique in having a room for the wives of its members. There dinners are frequently given and tne rooms are capacious enough for small dances as wen. This new mode of entertaining In restau rants has had its effect In making popular the apartment hotel with persons who would ordinarily have found the compara tlve lack of space Impossible in view of their duty or desire to entertain. "Yes." said the manager of the most modish establishment on the avenue, "we arrange here nowadays nearly every kind of entertainment that could be given in a person's own house. And from the constant demand from persons who desire to enter tain here, I am certain that this method of paying one's social obligations is growing more popular. "We do anything. To begin with the simplest form of trying to do in a restaurant what used to be done in one's own house, suppose a young woman wanted to have a dozen or more friends in to tea Just as she would in her own house. "Of course, she won't want a private room. Private rooms are now at a discount for all kinds of dinner parties except those at which the guests want to stay very late and enjoy themselves afterward with music or some other form of enlivenment impos slble in public. But for luncheons and dinners the private room la out of style. "Well, take that afternoon tea for, say.

Then another table is put near that one and chairs enough for all are pro vided. Then I mav move the palms about a bit in order to make the corner a little more secluded. The large table is. of course, supplied with the tea and whatever the young women may want in the way of cakes and such delicacies. "There will, of course, bo pretty china and silver on the tables and flowers if the hostess wants them. Then there is a waiter to look after the comfort of her guests. "Scarcely an afternoon passes that we do not have several teas of this kind. Luckily the room has plenty of corners. and enough parties can be accommodated to keep our patrons from having to go elsewhere. All our patrons say that they know their guests have a much better time here than when they are invited to their houses." OCR GREAT PASTURES. Hott the Western Cattle Ranges May De Restored. E. Benjamin Andrews, in Review of Re views. The number of cattle in the United States is Increasing, though it does not keep pace with the population. But the business is more and more forced on to high-priced land, rendering beef production costlier than it need be. According to figures laid before the House committee on public lands. April 16, 1902. the number of range cattle sent to market olmlnlshe-I 81 per cent, between 1855 and 1900. With due care the range can be made to recover its old fertility. It might easily be put In condition to fatten four head of stock to each head-now grazing upon it. To effect this, regulation is needed. Some authority must be asserted over the pastures to prevent their abuse, to make it for the Interest of occupants not to kill the goose which lays the golden egg. An end must be put to the blighting competition now kept up. Regulation being established, pastures can be used in rotation, a period of rest being given each, during which the grazing and trampling of herds may cease, and grasses have opportunity to scatter and fructify their seeds. Barren places can be artificially reseeded and induced to yield herbage as of old. In localities better grasses than ever grew there can be sown and grown. Such a recuperative process has been set going in other countries and In parts of our own. Australia has suffered the pinch through which we are now passing. Her great live stock industry was dying out: her exports of wool and of frozen and pre served meats dwindling. Ranges were de pleted or destroyed, as now with us. Cattle duffing," outlawry, range jumping and quarrels were general. The men of that country faced the problem and solved it. A system of leases was devised, giving each grazier, for a term of twenty-eight years, exclusive range rights upon his land. It be came profitable for him to improve his holding Instead of promoting its deteriora tion. The lessee cuts Ms domain in two. pasturing each part one year and resting it the next. In this way the whole pasture gradually Improves in. quality. Cattle mul tiply and thrive as additional grass grows to ieea tncm. Mexico and Canada have had a similar experience, and so In our own country have Texas ana other states. The excellent con trol of cattle afforded by the Canadian 6ystem accounts for the present hegira of American cattle people across our northern border. Tomahawked by Creeping Dear. MEMPHIS. Tenn., Jan. 1. Creepine Bear. a full-blooded Cheyenne Indian, is a nriaoner at police headquarters awaiting the results of injuries inflicted upon George Millard, an ex-policeman.

Physicians also make lucrative groups; a medical society or club is always well worth taking. Brok ers are disappointing, and so are clergymen.

I'd ask nothing better than to photo graph one big group of bartenders a week. That is all I'd need to do." HOW TI3IC IS 31 A DU. Uncle Sam Regulates His docks by One of the Fixed Stars. Clifford Howard, in January St. Nicholas. Strange as it may seem. Uncle Sam does not make use of the sun for reckoning time. but, as already described in St. Nicholas, he turns his attention to some of the regu lar steady-going stars or "fixed stars," as they are called. Every clear night an astronomer with a big telescope looks at certain of these stars and makes his calculations, from which he can tell Just when the sun would cross the seventy-fifth meridian. One of the grea clocks in the ob servatory is called the transmitter, because It transmits or sends out the signal. that keeps standard time. This clock is set and regulated by the star-time, and then every day at three minutes and fifteen seconds before twelve a switch is turned on and the beats of the pendulum of this clock are sent by electricity over the wires to the telegraph offices in Washington and New lork. Vhen the telegraph operators hear this sound on their instruments they know that the noon signal is about to be sent out. and they at once begin to connect the telegraph wires with other towns and cities, until in a minute or two the "tick, tick" of the clock at Washington is heard in hundreds of telegraph offices. The beats stop at ten seconds before twelve as a notice that the next "tick" will be the noon sig nal, and so as to give the operators time to connect their wires with the standard tlmeballs and clocks. There are tlmeballs in a great many cities usually on top of some prominent building, where they, can easily be seen. The one at Washington is on the roof of the State. War and Navy Department building, at the top of a high pole, ready to drop the Instant the signal comes over, the wire. In the government offices at Washington and in many places in other cities there are large clocks connected with the observatory by electricity. These are so arranged that when the twelve o'clock signal Is flashed over the wires, the hands of each one of these clocks spring to twelve, no matter what time the clock may show; In this way hundreds of clocks are set to the -orrect time each day. ell, the moment the sun Is supposed to cross the seventy-fifth meridian, the tele graph instruments give a single tick, the tlmeball drops, the clocks begin to strike. and everybody in the district knows it is twelve o clock.

All Kinds of Coats. Philadelphia Press. What a strong hold the short coats hare taken now that the long coats are an established fashion! This is always tho way, and a very good way It &, for it gives every woman a very wide choice, it Is only those out of the touch and swing of things who keep the fashions in a strict list and say "euch an Ruch is worn." In the cities, where a quarter of a million women must have many gowns, almost every deviation from the leading fashion Is eef:n. It is this fact that puzzles women In the country. Long coats are very fashionable, yet some of the smartest of the season are cut off just below the waistline. The ftrlctly Eton thape is not worn as much as the otherr.. but the garment that droops over a tight-fitting belt is one of the smartest models. There are two kinds of these very short box coats. One has no fit at all. Just hangs loosely from the shoulders, sometimes plain, often with stitched bands. Qneer Scheme. Philadelphia Telegraph. The bitter contention over the placing of a memorial tablet to the late Miss Winnie Davis in an uptown church has hen happily brought to a close by the withdrawal of the scheme. It is one which should never have been made, and, when made, not seriously entertalntd. It was not based on the unquestioned fact that MIfs Davis was. as the resolutions disposing of the matter put It. a "respectable- woman, but solely because she was the "Daughter of the Confederacy," and Philadelphia is not the proper place for a memorial of any kind, in any location, in such a connection.
