Hints to Dressmakers.

We have stated a number OF times
and repeat for the benefit of numer
GUS correspondence, that neither up
per nor under skirts are lined
/ throughout, even of silk dresses
About an inch of material of silk anC
popIins is allowed at the bottom o.
the skirt, which is hemmed up over
the facing.
Washing materials and thin woods
are somewhat less gOred than form
erly at the sides and In front. This
is in consequence of fat trimmings
having superseded ruffles to a con
siderable extent.
Skirts that will wash are aim ost
uniformly gathered instead ofplaited.
Overskirts are now made in two
parts the apron rounding up at the
sides, and Overlapping the back,
where it is finished with bow.
Sometimes the apron is double, the
upper one being shorter than the
other but they are always cut as
nearly without fullness as possible,
the fullness being confined to the
back. No looping is required, or is,
indeed, admissible, the aprons be-
ing rounded at the sides up to the
waist.
Lower skirts, walking length, are
cut to just escape touching the
ground. High fashion allows them
to touch, but the train upon the
streets is not sanctioned either
abroad or at home; and ladies who
adopted it last season because they
were told it was fashionable have
discontinued it, finding themselves
subjected to much dirt and dIscom-
fort, and chiefly kept in eOuntenance
by the denei monde. saI.
Sixty to sixty-fve inches is a suf-
fcient length for trained skirt the
enormously long trains which form-
erly dragged like the tail of a comet
without grace or apparent use, hav-
ing been very much reduced.
The front of the skirt and perhaps
the vest is still frequently made in
some contrasting color, and thus an
opportunity is afforded for utilizing
scant, Id-fashioned silks, either
black or colored. Black and green,
black and pink, black and white,
stone color aud blue, dove color and
pink or ashes of roses and green, are
all good combinations.
OF course there are many others
for new materials-pale salmon or
the rose with chocolate brown, wood
color and delicate green; but a
cameo tint, pale blue or green with
black is the most stylish.
Sometimes the basque or jacket,
sometimes a vest only, is made of
the light color which forms the front
of the skirt, but the two colors must
be effectively combined in the trim
ming or the result will not be a sue
cess. .-s . #a...
Black ribbon velvet will be much
used as flat trimming during the fall
and winter French folds of the ma
terial will also be in vogue.
Piping, in the old-fashioned sense
of "cJrding," is only used for arm
holes but the narrow doubled fold
is still extensively used and is gener-
ally called piping.
Coat sleeves tight to the arm viii
be worn to some extent during the
coming fall and winter, and are
quantity ornamented with two puffs
ono at the top of the sleeve, the
other near the elbow.-DemOreSt.

The Art OF Spending.

Every industrious, wide-awake per-
son can find ways and means of
earning money, but after it is fairly
earned the great trouble with every
body is that it slips away so easily.
Every time you turn you will find
ways and means of spending money.
Now the great art In spending well,
is to make every dollar show where
it is invested. There are so many
ways of disposing of it which never
seem to give any returns. Your
housekeepers need to learn the art
of spending well. a dollar invest
ed in a nice covered dish for the
table, a useful mat for the hall,
beautiful tree for the front door yard,
will give a hundred-fold the pleas
ure that it would in strip of trim
ming about the hem of a dress, or q
fat chicken for the table, which
leaves you no better satisfied than if
you had dined off an inexpensive
chop. Think well over every dime
you pay out, and resolve to put it to
the best possible account. The art
of spending is even more impor-
tant one than the art of earning
money. You can gain it by the
spadeful and yet fritter it all away
by the spoonful. -.......

thing like ten millions OF dollars.

proceedings your board to-day Of interest to the
publics
DUNCAN-I shall tell you as we walk along oil
that was OF special interest. Jay Gould came be-
fore our committee-a special committee composed
OF myself and Messrs Morgan, Watson and Bar.

arrangement to pay &c. 086 600 to the Erie kairoad
REPoRTER-What did Jay Gould offer IN payment
DUNcAN-The best kind OF securities, such as we
deemed adequate to cover the amount OF money
specified. would like you to give the people who
read the HERALD to understand that this was
no compromise with Jay Gould. The directors
forced Jay Gould to come to this compromise ne
saw that the board OF directors were honestly
disposed and determined to see that the
credit Of Erie was restored. He did not 0fier
this money out Of an act OF charity, Tor he
very soon discovered that II the suits against him
In the Courts prevailed he would lose more than
he could gain by contesting them.
REP0RTER-Then you think Jay Gould has really

termines to make restitution. We have enough to
secure us. The whole and only point Is ths-that
