really new and acceptable ideas, be-

depot of the metropolitan modes, and
are not a revised and garbled-over
rehash of old styles. 1t is, in truth,

Soon so said all Maysville,
except Miss Smith, who had
hitherto been quite successful in
palming off her antiquated styles upon
the villagers, and who now found her
Occupation gone.
fWhat shall / do?" said she, wiring
ing her hands in despair, to sympa-

be member of Mrs. Wells club.
''I can not say, unless you take
DemOrest's Monthly Magazine, where
you will be likely to find suggestions
to help you out Of your difficulty, as I
most always do in my own case.
Miss Smith, you had better think of

The result of this counsel was that
Miss Smith sent in her subscription.
Early one Monday morning the
good people of Maysvi!le remarked
that a marvellous change had come
over the millinery and drts5-making
establishment they had Of late almost
ignored.
"HOw beautifully you have fitted up,
Miss Smith," said her friend, who
had been invited to take a look within.

"How do you prosper?" asked the
same friend, some time later in the
month, dropping in to see if Miss
Smiths hopes had been realized.
"Oh, 1 never did SO WE'LL Why, I

wiser through its influence. 1t is the
general remark. There is now one

task so easy, that in a few days the
