A Hint to: Young Women on Dressmaking.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Why do not the girls of to-day become
their own dressmakers? They would find an
extraordinary stimulus and pleasure in the
occupation and there is nothing that would
do more to take the nonsense out of them
and put sense in its place. Paper patterns
and the shortening Of skirts have made the
task ease, and, once undertaken, it would
be more interesting than fancy work
Probably the indncement to many would be
much greater if the custom of giving girls
an allowance for 'sdress' money was com
mon here, as it is in England But unfor-
tunately it is not; and the majority of the
daughters of we'll do fathers feel that
the effort would not be appreciated and
would bring them no compensation. Young
Women whose parents occupy high position
In England frequently do all their own sew
ing in order to make their allowance (which
ranges from $50 to $3.50 per annum) do its
work. They may have one dress in sea-
son made by dressmaker, not more; and
this will probably be superintendent by the
dressmaker in the house, who occupies her
time in cutting and fitting, while the young
lady herself, with, perhaps, the help of a
family seamstress, does the sewing. There
is great advantage in thus becoming ac-
quainted with methods and personally con-
versant with ways and means, with the ex-
agencies and necessities OF work, it's limita-
tons as well as it's possibilities. A good
servant would infinitely rather work for
mistress who was thoroughly acquainted
with the duties to be performed, and there
fore willing to make allowance; and on the
same principle it is easier in making dress
to satisfy one who knows than one whose
ignorance makes her at once exacting and
non-appreciatiye.
Headache Theories and Remedies.
Nine times in ten the cause is in the fact
that the stomach was not able to digest the
food last introduced into it, either from it's
having been unsuitable, or excessive in
quantity. A diet Of bread and butter with
ripe fruit or berries, with moderate and
continuous exercise in the open air sutfi-
cient to keer up gentle respiration, would
cure almost every case in short time.
Two teaspoonfuls of powdered charcoal in
half glass OF water, and drink, gives in
slant relief. We are inclined to think that
the above remedies may do in some, but
not in all cases. A new correspondent
from Connecticut contributes the following
on this subject Sick headache is periodi-
cal, comes on at regular intervals, and is
the signal distress which the stomach puts
out to inform us that there is an over aka
line condition of its fluids: that it needs a
natural acid to restore the battery to it's
normal working condition. When the first
symptoms of headache appear, take table
spoonful of lemon juice clear, fifteen min
utes before each meal, and the same dose at
bedtime. Follow this up until all SYMPTOMS
are passed, taking no other remedies, and
you will soon be able to 60 free from this
unwelcome nuisance. Many will object
to this remedy because it is so simple: but
I have made many cures in this way.
