kind of work seen on costly Grape
shawlS and India muslins. We have
already spoken Of the embroidered
Japanese robes which are one of the
gilt-edged fancies Of the season.
Embroidered towels, table cloths
and napkins are also liked. For
these the threads are drawn, form
ing lace border on which the en-
broidery is done by hand in colors;
the initial or monogram being add
ed in heavy satin stitch on the cloth,
At the dry goods stores such linens
with borders ready worked are
known as Lance cloth. Table and
piano covers are prettily ornaments
ed with designs in colored flannel,
having the edges finished with mar.
row star braid machine stitched; OF
else with close overcasting, done by
hand. We have recently seen a
smoking jacket of mouse colored
cashmere, with dark brown medal.
lions of opera flannel overcasted on,
and connected by a pattern done
with colored silks in point Russo
knot and feather stitches. In the
center of each medallion was a diff.
ferent design embroidered in satin
stitch-in one a bundle of cigars
tied by the usual ribbons, in an
other crossed pipes, in another to-
bacco plant in flower, in another
smoking cap, and so on for a dozer
medallions, these opposite eaci
other on the jacket matching. Ii

Embroidery.
Philadelphia Times.
Next to the passion for art pot
terry, which has set all wOmaukind
to pasting pictures on earthen jars
and jugs, and to decorating glass
and china with decalcomanic de-
signs, comes probably the rage for
art embroidery. There is no trim
ming more fashionable for clothing,
and embroidered furniture is as
much sought after and as highly
valued as it was in the time of Louis
XIV. Chairbacks, cushions, screens,
curtains and rugs, piano and table
covers, cloaks and lingerie, every
thing, in fact, which can be, is thus
ornamented, and all women who
can afford the materials and spare
the time for such work, and who
have in addition the least taste for
it, devote more or less time to it.
Crewel work in wools, silk embroi-
derry, English embroidery in white
or oolored cottons, oretonne em-
broidery, in which figures cut from
cretonne are transferred to linen or
to cloth and fastened on by button
hole stitches, and applique work, in
which the body of the design ia of
colored fannels or merinO, appli-
que and filled in by fancy stitches
all these are so popular that it is
difficult to say which one is most
used. OF course, a great deal Of
such work is for sale at the fancy
store, and much of it is done by
machinery; bpt the preference is
equally, of course, for hand work.
Oriental designs and stitches figure
largely among those furnished for
filing in; Japanese and point
Russe embroidery, which bears
a sort of family RESEMBLANCE
to each other, and Indian embrai-
derry, which is usually in the heav-
! lest and richest Of satin stitch, the

Cafes in Paris.

Some OF them are intensely
amusing, some painfully dull. There
is the conventional cafe of the
bouleyards, that we all know, with
its bright frescoed ceilings and
walls, and its dazzling lusters, il
Illuminating with their glare group
upon group of endless Partisan
types as they sit smoking, drinking
and playing, each and all engaged
upon the great mortgage of time
Then there is the cafe of the side
street-a soporiic establishment
with its drowsy patron at the en-.
trance, its moody walters, and its
taciturn habitues. Then, again,
the less known brasserie whose
smoke-dimmed mirrored walls re.
fleet the moving figures of a dozen
sirens as they hover from the laugh,
ing student to the sober employe.
These last are but sparsely scat
tered over Paris; except in The
Quarter Latin, where they abound
they are the centers to which stu.
dent life converges, the emporiums
of Quarter Latin intrigue, and
romance could not furnish a mesh
more complex and tangled than the
mass Of complications and scandals
daily spun and unspun within their
walls. AT some Of these the young
ladies wear a uniform; but this has
been objected to by the police, and,
in some cases put a stop to, as, for
instance, in the case of one nick
named the EcoSsaise," where the
Highland dress might be seen mall
its pristine beauty, At the Cafe de
Mediel they still dress in blue uni
form and lace caps-a merry place
on Sunday nights, greatly frequent
ed by students and the military.
There are hosts of others : the
Source, the Cafe des Ecoles, the
Chericobbler, and, noisiest Of all,
one in the Rue de la Harpe. Here,
on sort of dais at the further ex-
tremity Of the room, music and
dancing are the order of every even
ing, and are continued far into the
night, amidst the loud revelry of
lookerS-on. These places are much
visited by wandering minstrels and
mendicants of every kind, whose
instinct tells them to catch human
nature in her merry moods. So that
while you sit there in a reverie you
are liable to be awakened by the
low moan of flute, and looking
up you see an old white-haired man,
broken and worn, regarding you
with senile smiles and blowing the
last remnants of his breath away
or may be some -scorched ragged
urchin Of Savoy, holding a bunch
of withered flowers in his hands
and gazing pleadngly with his
large eyes into your face.
