Nevapa City Datty TRANSCRIPT ae NAT P. BROWN, Proprietor. TIMING REVIEW. Pith of Doings In and Around the Gold Producers of Nevada. FRED HE. BROWN, Manager. TERMS OF SUBSORIPTION Delivered to any part of the city. Me a Issued Every Evening, Sundays Excepted, at Nevada City 12 S20 Per Week eteeereeeras — COST AND BEAUTY TAKEN FOR CAUSE AND EFFECT O women were sitting opposite each other in a car recently, as it was speeding its way from Nevada City to Grass Valley. One had a fine, clear skin, a pleasant and rather pretty face and plump figure. She was dressed in a summer costume of light but not-costly goods, which ‘fitted her admirably, showing the contour of her figure sufficiently but modestly, and she had that neat, trim appearance which goes so well on the street in a windy city. The other woman was also pretty, but she had attempted to improve on nature by just touching her cheeks with the brush and her eyelashes with the pencil. She wore a quan-— tity of fluffy stuff about her neck and a cloak or coat that bore all the signs of having cost a great deal. It was made of silk and had a white lining and was covered with a filigree of fancy stitching and embroidery. Obviously so much hand work was not done for nothing. Yet the costume, as a whole, was not becoming to the woman. Somehow she lacked the smartness and trimness of the woman opposite. _ To a man’s untutored eye the more simply dressed woman was by far the most attractive picture. But not so to the trained taste of the other women inthe car. All of them stared at the ornate cloak and whispered to one another about it. “What a lovely coat!” said one woman to her husband. “I don’t think it pretty;” he replied, cautiously. “But see all the work on it.” “Well if it isn’t pretty and doesn’t become her what does it matter if it took a thousand seamstresses a dozen years to make it? I prefer the clothes of the girl across the way.” “Ob, men don’t understand these things.” . Soconstant is the ratio between cost and beauty in clothes, and especially in women’s clothes, that it is not unreasonable to suspect the existence of the relation of cause and effect between them. We are so used to this ratio that most of us take it for granted as something inevitable. Yet the. connection between cost and beauty is not necessary. The rose which grows exuberantly out of doors in this climate with little culture, is‘more beautiful than the orchid, which is a hot-honse product ot high price. Nature gives us beauty cheaply; why cannot shopkeepers? Silk costs much more than good linen but does it make more beautiful raiment? Many a girl who is charming in a simple linen waist detracts from her charm by putting on a silk dress; yet the majority of persons would not remark her in linen, but would assert that she “looked lovely” in silk. Why is it that the clothes which are pronounced the most beautiful nearly always are those which cost the most? ‘The prettiest dresses for women are held to be those which have the most “work” on them; that is, which are dearest. Nor is it in dress alone that cost is taken to be the cause of beauty and worth. In jewelry, for example, the diamond is considered the most beautiful stone because it is the most precious, So far as beauty goes—and jewels are supposed to be worh as ornaments, not as advertisements of one’s wealth —an imitation diamond is quite as good as a real one to the inexpert eye. Whole bodices of diamonds, such as some wealthy women in large cities deck themselves with, are barbarous and vulgar displays, if rightly judged, but the woman that sports a blazing corselet of diamonds will be declared handsomely dressed by nine persons out of ten. Many people, whose natural tastes would get more enjoyment ont of beer or viu ordinaire, drink champagne because it is costly. The taste for costly clothes and other articles is a perverted and unnatural taste. It is vulgar. It is a form of money-worship. It isa disease which is rapidly becoming epidemic. Itis harmful for it keeps families poor. It is also degrading. In our democraey the woman of small means strives to dress as well as the millionaire’s wife in order to prove that she is “just as good.” Her notion of being “just as good” is to be just as richly attired. This is the height of snobbishness. It is no shame not to be rich, and a poor woman may be just as true a lady as a rich woman; but not if she will not dress within her means. The first quality of gentility is truthfulness; and the woman that spends on attire more than she can afford tells a lie to the world whenever she goes out in her fine clothes, Died of Grief. : “Improvemements are ander contemplation at the Zeibright mine, Bear Valley, which, when completed, will permit of the claim being worked to the best possible advantage and which will undoubtedly resalt in placing the mine on a dividend-paying basis, The ledge at the Zeibright is an immense one and ore can be taken out in unlimited quantities at very little cost. The company has been handicapped, however, from lack of milling facilities, but thie has been remedied by the purchase of the La Suerte mill, which is now being hauled to the mine, It is the intention of the company to also put in a compressor and other needed machinery. To defray the expense of the improvements the ‘directors at a meeting recently held decided to place on.sale 10,000 shares at “$1 per share, of the capital stock of the corporation. It is believed that the greater part of the stock will be subscribed locally by men who are familiar with the encouraging prospecte at the mine. Manager W. H. Bray, of the Huron group of mines, while in San Francisco last week placed orders for the machinery that is to be installed on the newly consolidated properties. The work of filling the orders is being pushed rapidly and shipments will be made in a short t{fme. The Huron group will be thoroughly developed under the efficient management of Mrs Bray, and good results are expected from the mines, Oscar Bray, brother of Manager Bray, will be at the Huron in the future. The North Bioomfleld Mining Oom.pany has a large force of men at work refacing Bowman’s Dam. The improvement has been under way for several weeks and will take all of a month longer to complete. A crew of men is also engaged in running a tunnel into the hill a distance of several bundred feet. This tunnel is to be used as a passageway for the water which will eventually be ran from the dam tothe mill. Unless protected in this way there would be constant danger of the flames being swept away by the winter rush of waters, which has often happened in the past, detailing a heavy expense and inconvenience to the company. Operations will be begun on the mine proper as soon as the preliminary work now under way is completed. Numerous pedestrians have found out to their sorrow that many of the wooden sidewalke about town are not safe for people to walk over, owing to the protruding of nails which have been drawn up by the heat of the summer’ssun, This nuisance can be easily obviated by the free use of an axe or hammer and would call forth blessings upon the heads of property holders from the public, instead of the unnecesetry “cussing” which grates on the ears of the TransonieT reporter quite frequently. Fall of Snap. A bride ie highly prized, yet she is given away, It isn’t always the long-haired man who has the most brains. One way to make a howling swell is to insert a pin into his anatomy.
