Form, as . cardinal principle, is much more
important than color. 1t is this which deter
mines the style and elegance of q garment
more than its color, material or trimming. The
great fault of trimmings or decoration upon
dress is that 1t destroys architectural form and
proportion or ignores it. Trimming should fol-
low the outlines it should form border, or
lines, or an ornament where an effect may be
heightened or an emphasis is required; but it
should not cover the surface or destroy the
grace and beauty of form and outline.
The change which has taken place within
the past few years in the cut of dresses and
other garments is very significant, and is an
other evidence of the modern tendency towards
the permanent in fashion which have before
endeavored to point ont. Twenty-Five years
ago low-necked dresses for girls were universal,
and the " waists" of women vibrated in per-
petual seesaw between an inch shorter and an
inch longer, above and below. Could any
thing be more absurd than this arbitrary rails
ing the line up, across the chest and under the
armpits, or extending It down until it en-
croached upon the yisceras

THE OTHER EXTREME.

As rule, American women do not err on
the side of too much color; their fault is apt to
be the other way. Slender, pale, delicate of
body, especially when they are Young the
grays, browns and sombre black which they sd
much affect impart q sad neutrality to their Or
binary appearance, which does injustice to their
fOwer-like beauty.
Gray, brown and black are good. but they
should be relieved by some touch of brightness
or color. have seen q charming landscape
spoiled for want OF some bit of life or color,
and others vitalized by the scarlet blossoms of
o Towering vine trailing down the rock, by q
child standing on bridge, by Il COW crossing
brook.
Everyday colors, therefore, should be of that
soft, undistinguishable kind which are alb
sorbed into the surrounding circumstances AMI
atmosphere, which no one remembers except
as part of the general harmony of things and
only picked out by bright little lines or
touches expressive of a knowledge of and love
for the beautiful, as pressure OF the hand or
a caress is of the affection which sweetens the
routine of daily life.
The fade tints now so fashionable are equally
Ineffective with neutral colo-s when employed
as groundwork or base for operations. They
require to be put with the different shades Of
their own color in order to make them com
plete, or with some other color, black or the
complement ofthemselves, in order to heightsn
or deepen the general effect
1t is the Introduction OF these tints which has
made it fashionable to put black with eolors,
using black as the basis. How far the idea will
be carried it is impossible to tell. Nowadays
We are apt to run q thing into the ground, and
then We do not want to see it again for q CEN
tury. Already We have black as a uniform
for street and indoor wear; it is largely intro
duced into the designs of carpets and furni-
ture; the walls Of saloons are being painted

PHYSIOLOGY OF DRESS,

just as If the human form was not ALWAYS
the same; rs if IL was not most important that
its freedom and opportunities for growth and
development should remain unimpaired; as If
the whim or caprice of moment was superior
to the eternal laws and fitness of things rs seen
in the human form, its proportion and fitness
to its uses. One can see an excuse if not use
for change and variety in color, order and de-
tail, but none for change in outline, which,
after being properly adapted to the human
form, shauld, for the sake of its growth, beauty
and development, always remain the same.
The change alluded to, which is also a great
and manifest improvement, consists in remov-
ing the strain from the arm consequent upon
the sloping shoulders, giving the high coat cut
the sleeve rounded up instead of followed I'm
to meet the requirements of the naturally
shaped body.
This gives freedom as well as grace of move
ment, anu everybody says, ''How stylish"
INFAMOUS ORNAMENTS.
Furnishing does not seems to be at all so
mans coat; there are not so many defects to
conceal; being adapted to the form the result
Is more harmonious and complete.
This high, close cut is the most important
feature of modern dress. Without It rich
fabrics and trimmings have q dowdy, anti
quatcd appearance; with It common materials
possess an air of distinction. Even dress
makers arc not all of them aware of the quiet
revolution which has taken place in the form
of the principal component parts of Q woman's
attire; and IL is Of great importance to those
who expect long satisfaction and much service
out Of durable dresses and costumes that they
should sec to it that they are cut from patterns
based upon modern principles. .--s
we nave seen some very beautiful materials
spoiled by ignorant dressnakers, whose ideas
were confused mixture Of the old and the
new; Who persisted in lowering the shoulders,
extending tho dart seams, leaving the waist
broad across the chest, and then put coat
shaped sleeve In to gil up the measure OF their
enoFmities. There b no remedy for such stu
ptdity rs this, exceps Q sacrifice of the gar
ment and remaking according to the modern
method. 7.-r.r.is

How coree Came to be Used.

1t is somewhat singular to trace
the manner in which arose the use
of the common beverage Of coffee,
without which few persons, in any
half or wholly civilized country in
the world, now make breakfast.
At the time Columbus discovered
America, it had never been known or
used. 1t only grew in Arabia and
| Upper Ethiopia. The discovery of
its use as a beverage is ascribed to a
superior of q monastery in Arabia,
who, desirious of preventing the
monks from sleeping at their noctur-
nal services made them drink the in
fusion of coffee, upon the reports of
shepherds, who observed that their
focks were more lively after brows-
ling off the fruit of that plant. Its
Reputation spread through the adj
liacent countries and in about two
hundred years it had reached Paris.
A single plant brought there in l714,
became the parent stock Of all the
French coffee plantations in the
West Indies. The Dutch introduced
| it into Java and the East Indies,a ,and
the French and Spanish all over
South America and the West Indies,
The extent of its consumption is now
hardly realized. The United States
lalone annually consume it at cost
on its landing, of from fifteen 10 six
teen millions Of dollars.

peatroving Curculios.

The following statement from q
correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph is, of great interest to all
who are cultivating plum trees. He
says: l have seen various methods
for keeping the insects off plum
trees, but not so simple nor yet SO
efectual as the following: Soak
corn eobs in sweetened water until
thoroughly saturated; then suspend
them to the limbs of the trees a little
while after blossoming, being sure
to burn the cobs after the fruit "Trip
ems, as they will be found full of in
sects. A good plan is to change the
cobs every few weeks. My theory
is this-that the insects deposittheir
eggs in the cobs in preference to
doing so in the young plums. The
first season I tried it upon one or
two trees only, and in the summer
was rewarded by good crop of as
fine plum as ever ripened, while
those on the other trees fell off when
they were about half grown. In &C
cordance with the result, next spring
found sweetened corn cobs dangling
from the limbs of all my plum trees,
and the summer found them full ot
delicious fruit.

Itlooks suspicious,tO say the least,
to see two milk-men go to law about
the possession to a spring.
A Missouri Judge has immortal
lied himself by declaring that EO-
man does not become an old maid
until she reaches thirty-fVe.
"He has left a void that cannot
easily be filed" as the bank direc-
ter touchingly remarked of the ab-
sconding cashier.
A doctor was once asked to dance
the dancers" He declined; but
expressed a willingness to lance the
dancers.
A gentleman having a deaf serY-
ant, was advised by a friend to dis
charge her. "No," replied that gen
tleman with much good feeling, "the
poor creature would never hear Of
another situation"
A Georgia negro was buried 80
deep by the caving Of a wei that it
took four hours to unearth him.
When found he was alive and well.
He said he never wanted to sneeze
so bad in his life, but was afraid he
would Jar down some more dirt.
At Galway, n. Y, the other day,
Mr.. Edward Vines, aged sixty-fiVe,
was married to Miss Eelia Shenan,
aged fifteen. 1t must be a pleasing
thought to Mr.. Vines that when he

leave a widow nearly old enough to
marry.
Ole Bull was once seeing the sights

While manipulating the Windlass
of q well, the other night, a party
who had been laying in a stock Of

White daisies on the meadow green
Present thy beauteous form TO me;
Peaceful and joyful these are seen,
And peace and Joy encompass thee.
watch them where they dance and slime,
And love them-for their besuty's thire.
Red roses o'er the woodland brook
Remind me of thy lovely face;
So blushing and so fresh its look,
So wild and shy its radiant grace.
kiss them in their coy retreat,
And think of lips more soft and SWEET.
Gold arrows of the merry morn
Shot swiftly over eastern seas,
Golden tassels of the bending corn
Thatripple in the August breeze,
Thy wildering smile, thy glorious hair,
And all thy power and State declare
White, red and gold-the, awful crown
OF virtue and of beauty tool
From what height those eyes look down
On him who proudly dares to sue,
Yet, free from self as God from sin
Is love that loves nor asks to win.
Let me but love thee in the flower,
The waving grass, the dancing wave,
The fragrant. pomp of garden bower,
The violet on the namelesss grave,
Sweet dreams by night, sweet thoughts by da,
And time shall tire ere love decay.
Let me but love thee in the glow
When morning on the ocean shines,
Or in the mighty winds that blow,
Snow-laden through the mountain pines
In all that's fair, or grand, or dread
And all shall die ere love be dead.
