PAPER HANDKERCHIEFs.- The Japanese
paper handkerchicts are assurcdly coming, if q
contemporary is right The paper collar manu-
tacturc now has been extended to less pruml-
nent but more important garments OF great
strength and hcxibility, which can be scwcd
with machine, giving seams almost as strong
as woven fabric. The inventor has particu-
larly applied it to the production Of pctticoats,
which are either printed in imitation Of the
fashionable skirts of the day, or stamped out
with open work OF such beauty and dclicacy As
no amount of labor with scissors and needle
could initiate. The marvel is that these really
beautiful productions can be sold al retail 1T
fifteen cents each.
Imitation crctonncs and chintz for bed furni-
turc are also made, a set costing at retail about
dollar and half The fcltcd material is SO
flexible that 4 curtain may be twisted into a
rope and shaken out again, showing as little
crcasing as chintz similarly treated. There are
also table cloths embossed with signs of great
beauty. This tclted paper may in the end have
a serious influence on De production of the
woven fabrics it is intended to displace Imta-
ton leather impermeablc to water, is likewise
made of II, and produces cheap and useful
covering for furniture, and even serves for
shoes.
SERVED HIM RlGllT.-It is related of a
young man in Prince George county, that a few
days ago he fitted up his finest turnout in the
way OF a horse and buggy and took young
lady to church. While returning the horse be-
came frightened at some object along the road,
and ran off at furious rate, causing the young
man to leap from the buggy, leav ing his fair
companion to her fate. The young ladys pluck
however, was equal to the emergency, and
gathering up the flying reins, she succeeded 10
Keeping the horse straight forward until she
could check him. Then waiting until the young
man came in sight, she drove slowly in front OF
him and compelled him to follow her on foot
for distance of FIVE miles when, arriving at
home, she graclousy returned him his vehicle
and animal. The young man is naturally very
indignant at the treatment he received, and, We
learn, will not marry her even if SIZE is the
prettiest and pluckiest girl in the county.
