McManus and Holland are! * i opening up a barber shop under the Johnson Hotel. They are putting in baths with hot and cold water, and are fitting up the place in nice style.

"There are 750,000 men apd women in New York under 35, most ot * them under 30, who are not married and, as far as appearances go, do not t] intend to get married." Go into any theater in any large t; American city, and note the rows e of young women sitting together and h the corresponding groups of men. Why are they not coupled off, as in the smaller cities? Simply because ^ the modern girl has developed an ex- e travagance that the young man re- * fuses to stand for. She must have a r $2 seat; she expects a box of Ameri- v can Beauties with it; if the weather is bad, a taxi is required; and if her tj escort does not take her to a lobster c D no loon' o ftqt f ho chnw h** ic rocq r/ipH Clicvi 1-av onv ? , **v Akj A v?vv? as "a cheap one." v And the same thing goes on after ^ marriage, even if the husband's sal- c ary is small. He must go on work- ^ ing, of course, but she is to be hence- 1 forth a lady. She must have her ^ maid, her laundress, her dressmaker, and she frets because she has no auto. n And when the poor devil at the desk a begins to show a waning enthusiasm ^ over married life, she suspects that a there is another woman in the case! g ?Leslie's Weekly. , The senate on Wednesday night f< passed the general appropriation bill v as it comes from the finance commit- a tee with oully one amendment from p the floor which was adopted, that al- p lowing $4,000 for the traveling ex- ti noncoc r?t" rr>n i t Thf hill li carries a total of $2,1 17,507.38 and 1; provides for a levy of six mills. All appropriations for new buildings at r State colleges were stricken out. The a bill is cut $321,000 from its size as r passed by the house.
