MOTHERS.

By the quiet tireside of home the true
mother, in the midst of her children, is SOW
Ing, as in vases of earth, the seeds of plants
that shall some time give to Heaven the fra
GRANGE of their blossoms, and whose fault be
a rosary Of angelic deeds-the noblest offer
ing that she can make through the ever-as-
cending and ever.expanding souls of her
children to her Maker. Every word that
she utters goes from heart to heart with a
power of which she little dreams. Solemn
is the thought, but not more solemn to the
Christian mother than the thought that ev-
cry word that falls from her lips, every ex-
preston Of her ~countenance, even in the
sheltered walk and retirement, may leave
an indelible impression upon the young
souls around her, and torn, as it were, the
underlying strain of that education which
peoples heaven with that celestial being,
and gives to the white brow of the angel,
next to the grace O. God, its crown Of glory.

CONCERNING THE FASHIONS.

This is the season Of the year when the
wise woman, looking well to the ways of
her household, devotes some time and
thought to the making up OF such goods as
will wash well. The twilled cotton goods
for summer wear are beautiful in design,
and of many colors. Stripes, tiny bouquets
o ff1owers, leaves, and graceful vines are the
designs most popular. Calicoes, like other
wasf. cotton goods, show small floral de-
signs on a plain or mixed ground. These
designs are usually roses, daiseJ, torget-me-
nots. butter-cups or violets. Designs in
small polka dots find great favor ; a creamy
ground has brown polka dots /; a navy blue,
white dots; a gray or mixed ground, pink
or blue dots.
Ginghams not only wash well, but wear
well. These come in shades of gray, brown,
blue and pink. Cambrics, lawns, muslins,
peFcales, foulards and grenadines will be
worn as much as ever. All these dresses
to be worn short, of course.
In making up wash dress goods two de-
signs will be combined, one forming the
foundation, the other the trimming. ALI
women are not young, and all young wo-
men are not lonely, yet all have y desire to
dress gracefully and we'll. This it is not
difficult to do. Among the great number
of styles one has to choose from, it is easy
to select and make a costume, which will
be not only inexpensive, but graceful and
fashionable. Cashmere, alpaca, beige col
ors, and imunerable other fabrics may he
selected for pantlets made of the same
material as the dress the prevailing fashion.
Wide white muslin ties are used for the
neck.
Stockings are of silk or cotton in solid
colors, black, brown, gray, red and blue, or
they are woven of unbleached thread. All
these are embroidered in silk, in contrast
ing colors. The "Balbringgan' hose are
about as handsome and durable as any that
can be bought.
In regard to hats there seems to be no ex-
clusion Of any particular shape. There are
round hats, hats that turn down close to the
face, hats with narrow brims, and hats with
wide brims. The latter are quite dressy
and the brim may be turned down or up, or
in any direction that will render 1t becom-
ing to the wearer. The stirring III hats are
usually of satin !; the trimming of gauze or
silk, feathers and flowers.
Questions in regard to dress answered
with pleasure. S. A. NJ. Moss.

Il DIFFERENCE.

II is a sad fact that wOman is assumed to
be able to keep her household with judg-
ment and success without the smallest
training for it. With the other sex, in their
spheres, 10 such rule obtains. No man il
given the command Of a boat or a squad un-
til he has proven himself master of at least
the technicalities Of his command. But a
girl of eighteen passes from the school-room,
where she has been in the position of a SUBJ
ordinate, at all times under control, to the
management of Il household where she is
supreme and the dispenser of frowns or IA
vors, the arranger Of TASKS and times, and
without previous training in the care of her.
self expects to come to a good result in the
management Of a family.
