The Philosophy OF Housek keeping.

The waste of good material is re-

is really appetizings and digestible.
We have great feasts and a Injurious
style of family living such as no other
nation can, boast of; we. pride. our
selves on the number and costiiness
of our dishes; but it is quantity rather
than quality that we are anxious for.

LADIES' FASHIoNs--Larg black and white
lace shawls and burnoose are very much worn,
now that the warm weather has fairly COM
menced, over rich toilets, Short silk sacs, bas-
quines and peplums are not elegant over very
long gored and trained dresses, and it being too
warm for cashmere or Paisley sh avis lace is
brought into requisition. They are, however,
somewhat expensive-the lowest price even for
llama lace shawl or cloak is forty or fifty dol
lars, and from this the cost ranges all the way
up to two thousand.
A handsome lace shawl or cloak is, however,
considered Indispensable to ladys wardrobe,
and is really useful in thousand ways.
One Of the great features of the season is the
rich silk and jet embroidery lavished upon
costly silk cloaks and dresses. Magnificent
toilets of black gros grains are literally covered
with embroidery, and many are wrought in ex-
quiste designs upon the seams, or so as to de-
scribe sashes or pointed basques upon the skirt,
in addition to the border round the bottom
This embroidery is executed by the hand, and
