"w53S55B55? THE COURIER 9 -, K. Jt "ft ' i. - -v "Notwithstanding popular belief to the contrary, I havo always maintained that Brooklyn is progressive romarks "The Sauntorer" in Town Topics. In no other city do women submit their gowns to their physicians before wearing them, or require their dressmakers to have their stays electro-plated with material that will not rust In fact Brooklyn is at least ten years in advance of other cities, and it is therefore not surprising to read in such a reliablo paper as the Herald that the women over there wear knickerbockors while at tending to household duties and pants while riding bicycles. Bloomers, it seems, belong to a past and forgotton ago in tho City of Churches. They wero worn for a time, of course, but tho width of the bifarous extensions was gradually reduced until learned lin guists declared they were pants, and now bloomers are scon only in the Polytechnic Institute Museum and tho Gallery of Antiquities, where specimens are on exhibition in glass case?, along with silver buckles and false calves worn by men during tho Colonial tmriod. The evolution of bloomers into pants was, of course, not entirely un expected, but tho wearing of knickerbockors as homo attiro is a clo dded innovation, and, as Buch, decides the superiority of fumninity across tho bridge. Truly, Brooklyn women lead tho world and tho Civitos Club is entitled to the place of honor as tho advanco guard in front of tho brass band." Gen. Thayer loaves on Monday next for Hot Springs, S.

The Courier man was struck with tho nice line of watches he saw on looking ovtr Mr. E.IIallett's stock. Upon inquiry he obtained tho following information from Mr Hallett: "The price of watches has changed so in tho last year or two that tho customer must exer cise a great deal of care in selecting a placo to buy. Those who havo old stock on hand, cannot, without a great loss to themselves, sell goods at the prices wo who havo an entirely now stock can. Wo auctioned off all our old goods before moving, und, although they were Fold at h sacrifice, wo havo the satisfaction of knowing that wo now have as clean, now and completo a stock of jewelry and watches us can be found anywhere. The price has been reduced so that you can now buy a good solid silver caeo with standard movement for 812, and a gold one for 820." "What movement sells best?'' was asked. "Why, tho American mado watches. People have found out that a watch made hero costs less, will serve tho purpose just as well and costs less for repairs than tho imported ones. Yes, wo sell ten American watches to onn of tho imported. "It used to bo thought that a watch made in a foreign country was far superior to tho ones made here, but they are changing their notions rapidly it's a saving to them and they are beginning to see it. "So the next timo you buy a watch, find out how long tho jeweler has Lad it; by so doing you will know whether the price is right or not."
