Fur and About Women.

Flowers continue to be used extensively
for table decoration; they are even placed
in finger bowls. Those with long stems
are selected, ant they are kept in place BY
sticking the stems through large Leaf,
which floats on the water.
The Princess of Wales is known to have
great objection to the extreme baroness
Of arms which was lately in vogue with some
who carry fashions to extremes. She pre-
fers that the sleeves should come down,
rather than that gloves should 60 up.
: When woman sees new fall-style Of
bonnet on another woman's head, she de-
clares it to be hideous. The next day,
when she gets one also, she suddenly dis
covers it to be as pretty as it can be.
The truth is that mari ,ge is not one of
these subjects about which theorising can do
any good, and the happiest marriages are
those which have not been framed in accord
ance with any philosophic doctrine, but
which have been drifted into from the force
of circumstances The alliances of passion
are perhaps, in the long run, as rational as
those of philosophy; but IN most modern
love there IS strong element of practical
wisdom and of hard common sense.
The Boston Herald says: There is
something poetical in a sunaower. Big as
it is, its dependence on the luminary for
which it is named exceeds that Of almost
anything else. All over New England the
effect Of the dark day upon the blossoms
was such that, when the sun came out the
next morning, tho sunfowers all wilted and
now their leaves are dropping and the seeds
are whitening in their cells. Died for jov
poet might think.
When. man of thirty recognizes in
chit of sixteen possible recipient OF his
heart and hand, and sets to work to train
her for the position she is to occupy in
three or four years time, Re does very
courageous but not very wise thing. He
commits his happiness to the hazard ofan
experiment, and he pushes his love for the
ory to perilous point. The relations
which this tacit assumption of superiority
on the part of the future husband are cal
culated subsequently to develop between
the pair are not Of the most auspicious kind.
Jennie June writes from Newport, r. l.,
'The one distinctively broad, strong, SYM
pathetic element that Newport possesses in
the summer time is Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.
She belongs to so good family, can boast
of pedigree so greatly superior to the
pedlers and tobaconists, the soap boilers
and ship chambers that compose Viewpoints
best society. that she cannot be ignored.
She has to be invited when dignitaries or
high people of any kind come along, for
she is the one person they want to see; yet
she does the most dreadful things. She
breaches, she plays, she presides at con-
ventions. she makes speeches, she mixes
herself up with everybody; yet she is Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the Battle
Hymn of the Republic and founded the
Peace movement. and she cannot be got
ten rid Of. Mrs. Howe is thorn in fash
ionable Viewpoints side.''
Nothing is more agreeable for the des-
sert at an elaborate dinner than chocolate
pie. It is SO rich that small piece only
can be eaten, a fact which some cooks may
think recommendation. Take four table,
spoonfuls Of grated chocolate, one pint of
boiling water, let it simmer for a few min
utes, then take the yolk OF two eggs, two
tablespoonful Of cornstarch, six table,
spoonfuls of sugar. Stir this mixture to-
gether, and boil until thick, like boiled
custard land, by the way, cook it in the
same way by setting the dish in boiling
water, and SO avoid all danger Of burning).
Make crust as for lemen pie, bake it and
then put in the cooked chocolate. Beat
the whites of the two eggs to stiff froth,
beating in tablespoonful of pulverized
sugar; put this on the top of the pie and set
it in the oven to brown. Serve cold; it is
not at all difficult to make.
