hound; there il basil; there is saffron.
Of thyme and fennel and ma1oram and
savory and other favorings OF that sort
planted by Shakespeare, word has been
said before. Then there is balm, much
used in America for making balm tea for
fever patients, and balm.wine as an ordi-
nary beverage; there is anise, the seeds
wanted for the home medicine chest, the
leaves as a garnish, and for seasoning;
there is coriander, its seeds sown where
they are to stand,' not in hot beds for
transplanting, to be used for confection-
cry, and TO hide the disagreeabless of
medicines; there is dill for the medicine
chess agsin, and to giver higher flavor to
picked cuclmlberss there is hyssop, its
leaves and flower stalks to cure Immoral

AMPLE OLD SCRAP BAG

that hung in the closet 1t was sort of
family savings bank, into which all the
odds and end bits of dry goods that came
into the hours for years were deposited.
1t contained scraps left from the dresses
of all the female family connections, from
the grandmother down to the baby; and
if neighbor volunteered contribution
in the shape of roll of scraps, it was
accepted as the highest favor that could
be offered by one lady to another in
those primitive days. When the capac-
ious receptacle was filled to its utmost ex
tent, the sorting out of the pieces, the
blending of the different styles of prints
and the harmonizing of colors prepare
tory to the manufacture of the long
thought of quilt, was joy of which
ladies of the latter day have never
dreamed. For now times have changed,
scrap bags are memories ofthe past, and
people don't hoard up their dress clip
plings to make quilts of, for modern
inventions have supplanted the old time
industrial arts, and to-day quilts, the
most bizarre of almost every known pat
tern, cut and color, are printed all ready
for the frames and are sold by the yard
for eight cents. "Sic transit" etc.

FASHION NOTES.

Many varieties of material are shown
for winter suitings in plain goods and
plaids, camePs hair cloths and eashmeres,
brocaded velyets and corduroys. Con
spicuous among them are the Highland
plaids. some of them so gay and pro
nounced that ladies of good taste will
hesitate, we opine, in making purchases.
There are modest and quiet styles of
plaids, however, such as the green and blue,
the gray and blue, and plaids of all the
graver shades, which, doubtless, will
take the precedence. Combination suits
will again be worn, IN which the dress
will be mainly of the plain material
while its vest, collar, cuffs and facings
will be of the plaid, or embossed goods.
For this purpose the corduroys, or vest
ings, are especially designed, and in the
coming winter one may look for some
very attractive combinations of dress
materials.
In this department we must not fail to
mention the calicoes, or "prints," as they
are more technically called. There has
not been prettier display in this line of
goods in years than that of the present
season. These prints are mainly of
dark grounds, with brilliant colorings
in various designs. Sometimes they
have dashes of scarlet and yellow and
blue, and again they are of floral pat
terns-either bright bud with its at
tendant leaf or two, or a tiny bunch OF
flowers, as fresh looking as those just
plusked from the summer garden beds.
One noticeable feature in these goods are
the fantastic quilt patterns, which are
precisely like the old-fashioned quilts We
used to make out of scraps of calico q
long time ago when we were children,
before sewing machines were invented
and before all the economical good
housewives had died out of the land.
Among the earliest recollections of oul
childhood was the.

CLoAKs AND DRESSES.


proof cloths in their usual variety of col
orings = gray, navy blue, green and
black. In selecting this goods for a
cloak the black cloth in which white is
slightly mixed is far preferable to any
other; and the English waterproof will
prove the most durable, because, unlike
the American goods it is all wool.
The styles for making waterproof
cloaks do not differ percePtibly from
those hitherto worn. They are long,
loose and ample. Sometimes they are
of the circular pattern, with sleeves, and
again they are made up in the favorite
ulster style-buttoning down the entire
length of the garment, and finished off
with a neat broad hem.
In the dress department many plaid
suits are shown. They are mostly of the
graver plaids, and are made as walking
dresses-with short skirt, cut away jacket
and vest-the whole suit being composed
Of but one material. Some of the Jack
cts have yoke in the back, and the
body is put on it in inch-wide plaits and
then confined at the waist with q belt.
These suits have sometimes two scarfs
attached to them, one falling just
below the waist and the other
draped round near the bottom of the
skirt and heading killed founce, which
is fourth of yard in depth.
Handsome suits are shown in hand
somer goods, and they are made up gen
orally in handsomer styles, no one style
taking precedence over another Fashion
is no longer the autocrat that she was.
and lady may now wear basque and
an overdress, or polonaise and train,
or princesse robe, just as it suits her
own individual taste, without the least
compromise of fashion or fitness of pur-
pose. Fringes, passementeries and pend
ant buttons seem to be the favorite trim
mings for dresses.

For the present, straw is, of course,
the leading material of which hats are
made; and all kinds are used, from the
expensive Panama to the cheaper and
various English straws. As regards
shape, there are many styles to be seen,
the two extremes of which are the very
broad brimed gypsy hat, and the more
modest, close fitting cottage bonnet.
Flaring brims are still popular, and may
be regarded as among the leading styles
for the coming winter. Much ingenuity
of design is shown in the coloriBg of the
feathers which are to be used for hat
trimmings. Some of them are dyed in
two or more colors, and small, short
ostrich tips of various shades are punched
together, making kind of combination
feather, suitable to be worn with the
combination dress suits. One handsome
light French felt hat is shown this season
that has a. band of feathers two inches
wide around the crown, which is composed
of tiny bits of feathers from the pea
cock, oriole, paroquet and other gay
plumaged birds, and they are so harmo-
niously arranged as to remind one in
stantlY of the soft India cashmeras, from
which they were designed. Very hand
some ribbons are intended for the hats
this winter Some of them are embossed
patterns having raised figure or vine
upon their surface; others are satin on
one side and velvet on the other, and
others again are heavy double satin.
They are elegant, and are seen oftenest
in the widths known as Nos 8 and IL
