Society and Fashion.

Satin is to be used largely in trimming
for silk dresses this year.
Visiting cards for next season are to be
small and very nearly square
It is considered very bad taste to wear
iewelry in the street, even bracelets being
thought superhuity. ...
Very pretty costumes for Winter morn
ing wear are of gray merino over Grim
son underskirts, with sleeves, and point
ed vest of crimson.
A great change has been noticed at
Saratoga this Summer, where ladies used
to make five toilets day, two very SIM
pie ones are all that is now necessary.
For the benefit of young persons af-
fiicted with freckles, we would inform
them that powdered nitre, moistened
with water, applied to the face night and
morning, will soon remove all traces OF
them.
Lovers are not aware, perhaps, that il
is asserted that there is vein which
runs from the ring finger of the left
hand straight to the heart, and that
when lady offers you her left hand al
parting there is meaning in it.
The fashion of dressing the hair after
the style practiced by our great-grand
mothers has revived. 1t is drawn up tt
the top of the head in what is called
French twist, srrmounted by heav,
braid like coronet, and is becoming t.
nearly every style of face.
The old idea that persons could no
entertain their friends without turning
their house into a restaurant is begin
ming to die out among sensible people
! and entertainments where only cake am
lemonade are passed around will be con
sidered more select than the big suppe
affairs.

make crimson gloves fashionable whe

Baby Farming I'm England.

A Select Committee of the British
House of Commons has been inquiring
into the subject of baby farming and
adoption" Some of its statements
will have an interest for readers in this
country
According to the evidence, which seems
to be indisputable, there are in all parts
of London large number OF private
houses, used as lying-in establishments,
where women are confined. When the
infants are born some few of them may
be taken away by their mothers but, If
they are to be adopted, as is usually the
case, the owner of the establishment re-
ceives for the adoption large sum OF
money, sometimes as little as Ed, some
times as much as ESQ or e1OO, according
to the means Of the party who goes to be
confined. The infant is then removed
(generally Immediately after BIRTH under
an arrangement with the lying-in estab-
lishments, by which the owners OF the
baby-farming houses are remunerated,
either by small round sum, which is
totally inadequate to the permanent
maintenance Of the child, or by small
weekly payment, varying from Is. cd. to
rs. 3d., which is supposed to cover all
expenses. In the former case there is
obviously every inducement to get rid OF
the child and, even in the latter case,
unless the mother should come to look
after it, (which she seldom does, i'm
proper and insufficient food, opiates,
drugs, crowded rooms, bad air, want OF
cleanliness, and wilful neglect, are sure
to be followed in a few months by
diarrhea, commissions, and wasting away
It will thus be seen that nothing car
be worse than this class of houses, ol
more reckless than the conduct of those
by whom they are kept The children
born in the lying-in establishments arr
usually illegitimate, and so are tn
! children taken from elsewhere to tn
! worst class of baby farming houses. Il
, many cases they are abandoned by thel
!. mothers soon after their birth. and Il
; addition to the loss of mothers care
. which is alone sufficient to increase tn
: = mortality of infant life to great extent
L they are soon culpably neglected, SO IL
!. treated and so badly nurtured that, wit
! rare exceptions, they all of them die In
y u very short time. Nobody. except, tn
= : owners of these houses, knows anythln
!, about them their births are not regl
= tered, nor are their deaths some OF thel
