has recently held that street crossings are made for the convenience of persona on foot, and that it is the duty of the drivers of all vehicles, including street cars, not only to check their speed when any person is on a crossing, but to stop where there might be the least danger of a ool lision.

"Society controls our happiness more than we care to acknowledge atid no lady feels at ease in society, or upon the street, with an ill fitting kid glove npon her hand. It is quite a matter of import anoe with most persons to know the kind of glove that will give to the hand a graceful appearance. This can only be found in a SEAL KID, where there is combined strength, elasticity, andjperfect colorlrig of the skins.' 4*

The TREFOUSIE KID has, within the last year or two, gained a popularity in the large cities that has exceeded that of any other glove ever introduced into America. Importers claim that it has no equal, as to the quality of skins, exquisite coloring, and perfect fitting. There is no-glove, it is sAid, that is so universally liked to-day, as this, by those who have worn it. Its manufacturers claim first prize medals from the World's Fair, at London, in 18G2, from Dublin, in 1865, otiT own Centennial Exposition, in 1876, and from the Paris Exposition this year. If there be any virtue in prizs medals, these alone should give to the glove a wide popu1 -t FIRE AND ACCIDENT
