CHICAGO FIELD-NOTES. By the city editor. ELLULOID handkerchiefs are not yet in vogue as far east as New York. It is true the climate still smuts, but that is because the ' coal is not as hard as the times. The élite now have their chewing- gum tinted to match their note- paper. The best quality lasts two days. The souvenir tooth - picks are often given as favors at ladies’ lunches. The most recherché have different sizes adapted to the bill-of-fare.
