A WALKING DRESS FOR DARK AND Dull
DAYs.-It consists of a single skirt of olive
green yigOgne, completely plated in front in
iength-Wise plaits, and encircied by a gathered
hounce OF lighter shade Of green. Seven
gathered fOunces of this light shade of green
ornament the back of the skirt. These fOunces
are all OF equal width, and they are laid so th at
between each of them there is a distance equal
to the breadth OF the hOuDce. The corsage of
dark green vigogne is made with large plated
gilet in front, and finishes at the bac K in long
position basque. A gathered founce of the
light shade edges this basque, and, turning up
at the sides, encircles the gilet and forms a
standing collar around the neck. The sleeves
are made quite tight to the arm, and are COW
cred with gathered flounces, laid in the same
style as on the skirt. This toilette is rendered
quite original by the new disposition of the
nounces. 1t Is finished by a square cape OF
black fsille, reaching to the waist, and of the
same length IN front and at the back. The cape
Is covered with rows of black jet fringe. The
bonnet accompanying this charming costume is

CLIMATE AND DECORATIVE ART IN ENGLAND.
The Prince COnsort did all he could to raise an
enthusiasm for decorative art in this country,
and to raise the wages and the position OF the
artist and of the artisan, and he succeeded
measurably; but time has sadly shown that he
must have Imported the climate of Italy rather
than its schools to make this a country Of beau
tful frescOes. Although Cornelius magnani-
mously declined the overtures made to him, as
above stated. In favor of Dyce, he consented to
come to London and give advice concerning the
proposed works. 1t was owing to him that fres
Goes were determined upon. He had seen the
glory of the great frescoes of Munich; he could
not see that in few years they would be peal
ing of (as they are now even there. F0rtu-
nately Maclise resolved TO put on his frescoes In
silica, and they are yet fairly preserved; but all
the pictures in the houses OF parliament have
had to be retOuched from time TO time, and the
silica has such an attraction for the atmospheric
moisture that the effect of the colOrs il fire.
quently diminished. While 1t is thus manifest
that the corroding damp OF the English climate
Is hostile to mural ornamentation, and fatal to
external freseOes, there is a steady increase of
the desirefor such things. This has been espec-
tally manifested among the English nobility,
who have every thing in the wide world that
their hearts can desire excepting only the CT
mate that might comport with luxury and

THOSE BEAUTIFUL SKELETON LRAvRs-
Leaves to be skeletonized should be gathered
only in dry weather, should also be perfectly
matuIed July and August being the best months
TO gather them. Among the choicest varieties
are vine, poplar, beech and ivy leaves. Dis
solve four ounces of washing soda in one quart
Of boiling water; add tive ounces of quicklime
ana boil fifteen minutes allow this to cool; then
pour on the clear liquor into a clean saucepan,
and when at boiling point place the leaves
carefully and boil one hour;bOiling water should
be ADDED occasionally to supply that lost by
evaporation. If after boiling one hour the GEL
lular tissue does not rub of between the thumb
and finger, boil them till it will, always placing
the leaves in cold water to separate the heshy
matter from the skeleton. Bleach the skeletons
by putting them in a solution of one quart of
water; a large tablespoonful of chloride of lime
and few drops of vinegar; let them remain IN
twenty minutes and then remove and dry he
