MINISTER.
Aud for your husband win you take this nice
Obey his slightest wish and love him all you can?
BRIDE.
IN love him all l can, obey him all I chose,
If when ] ask for funds he never does refuse.
MINISTER.
Then you are man and wife, and happy may you be
As many be your years as dollars be my fee.
The lace on the brides dress at
the royal wedding cost 500 a yard.
A New York firm have in their
store a piece of lace five yards long
worth $1,000 a yard, which a man
could crowd into his watch fob or
pocket book.
Like many other things buttons
on dresses are going out of fashion.
Nowadays the front of the waist is
fastened with hooks and eyes, and
down the front, instead of buttons,
are placed a row of small bows
made of the same material as the
dress.
Strapped shoes it is said, will be
athe thing" in the spring; made in
satin to match the light tints ofdres-
ses: the straps cut very narrow, and
extending not only over the instep,
but upon the ankles. Some are fin
ished with small pearl buttons.
The new feather fans appear to be
quite the rage. They are much
smaller in size than those used last
summer, and not half so awkward
looking. Those of peacock feathers
are not the hsndsomest, on gilt or
ivory sticks.
Charlotte Corday hats have taken
the place of the questionable Raba-
gas. The former is a very large af-
fair, turning up on one side and
down on the other. They are
trimmed in every imaginable man
ner.
Says the Boston Gazette, and with
truth: "Every kind of party with
out dancing, is now called a kettle
drum, and as il is a pretty title it
will have to stand hard usage, in
these days of small dissipation. The
tkettledrum,' pure and simple, was
introduced here several years ago,
and has suddenly become fashiona-
BILE in name. If you wish to give
real 'kettledrum,' invite your friends,
from 5 to s, and give them nothing
but tea and cakes. Ladies are ex-
pected to go in their walking dres-
ses, and not to stay late. But if
lady gives a tea fight or recep-
tion with salads and things, she
needn't call that 'kettledrum,' be-
canse it isn't one.
SOMETHING FOR THE GIRLs.-If
young man greet you in a loud, free
aad hasty tone; if he knows precise
ly where to put his hand on his hat;
if he stare you right in the eye, with
his mouth wide open; if he turn his
back to you to speak to another; if
he tell you who made his coat; if
he squeeze your hand; if he eat
heartily in your presence; if he
sneeze when you are singing, eritici-
es your curls, or fails to be foolishs
in fifty ways every hour; then don't
fall in love with him for the world.
He only admires you, let him do or
say what he will.
On the other hand, if he be merry
with every one else, but quiet with
you; if he be anxious to see that
your tea is sufficiently sWeetened
and that your dear person is well
wrapped up when you go in the
cold; if he talk very low; if his
cheeks are red, and his nose only
bushes; it is enough. If he romp
with your sister, sigh like a pair Of
bellows, looks solemn when you are
addressed by another gentleman,
and, in fact, if he be the most still,
awkward, stupid, yet anxious of
your male friends, you may 'go
ahead" an d make the poor fellow
happy.
