The Art of Dressing.

So important did the Sybarites consider
the dress of women, that when they invited
them 20 banquet they did so year
ahead. that they might have ample time to
prepare their toilet. Unlike the SybarItes,
we are apt to regard womaD's dress as
among the minor considerations of life,
and think that all time given to Its study
is wasted time Dress, which may be re-
garded as an element of art, IS worthy of
respect and attention. Ii is study worth
pursuing, for the mind that regards dress
from an artistic point of view is naturally
led TO the contemplation of art In its more
extended teachings. When dress becomes
an art study, il Is no longer viewed as the
means of ostentatlous display, or of shallow
vanity, but is teacher who leads the
pupil into the domains OF the graceful.
the attractive, and the beautiful. Dress
being legitimate s0urce of charming, it
should not be regarded as of less import
ance than beauty of face or figure. 1t is
one of the chief elements of pleasing-a
very important element as all realize when
contemplating a well dressed woman, OF
one otherwise. To dress well is not, nee
essarily, TO dress showily or expensively.
Perfection of dress can be obtained with
out the and of glitter. The temple of taste
Is not painted, and gilded, and set upon a
shining height, dazzling the beholder with
Byzantine splendor. To dazzle is moi the
legitimate aim of dress. 81 know that
she was well dressed,' said DIR. johnson,
in speaking of lady, ''fcr | do not re-
member what she had on" Of course
there are seasons when elegant and gilt
tering dress is becoming and appropriate /;
and the study of dress points Out the times
and places.

to the proprietor: "-f you viii let one OF
your clerks step into the carriage with

The proprietor consented, and the
clerk, with the goods in a box, entered
the carriage with the lady, who said she
wished TO stop on the way and show her
purchases to friend They drove to
the asylum and were shown to the par.
lor. The superintendent entered, and
the lady said quite calmly to the clerk;
sJust open the box and show the things
to this gentleman.
The clerk unsuspectingly complied.
Carelessly drawing near, the lady sud
denly seized the box, and was walking
out of the room with it when the aston
ished clerk cried:
"Hold on, madam, must not let these
goods go out of my sight until get the
money"
The lady did not deign to notice the
clerk, but, turning to the superintendent
of the asylum, said:
'This is the young man 1 spoke tt
you about. He is getting a little violent
You had better secure him.
1t was in vain that the clerk protested
that a robbery was being committed
The superintendent was inexorable. He
called his assistants and secured the
clerk, while the lady walked to her car

A Trife Mixed.

A fashionable young lady visited cook
ing school the other afternoon, where her
attention was equally divided between a
new dress worn by an acquaintance and
the directions for making a cake, Upon
returhing home she undertook 10 wnte
down the recipe for the cake for her moth
er, and the old lady was paralyzed when
she read. Take two pounds Of flour, ten
rows Of pleating down the front, the whites
of two eggs cut bias. pint of milk ruffied
around the neck, half pound OF currants
with seven yards of bead trimming grated
lemon peal with Spanish lace tchu, stir
well and add a semi filing pa,etot with
visite sleeves, butter the pan with Brazil
ian topaz n, cklsce, garniah with icing and
ietted passementerie, bake in moderately
hot oven until the overskirt Is tucked froHl
the waist down on either side and finish
with large satin bows" Her mother said
she wouldn't eat such cake and shf
thought these new tangled ideas in cook
ing ought to be frowned down.

The SoUTHDowN.-Ihel IDEA that the
Southdown may be little too delicate for
extreme northern climates Is dispelled by
experience. The Southdown, as Its name
implies, is South country sheep, and as
sheep are kept in England might very likely
suffer from the dIizzling rains, cold, damp,
winds and clanmy mists of the northern
part of the United Kingdom. The hardy
Shropshire is very likely better sheep for
these ungerial experiences. But mere cold,
with dry atmosphere, tells for nothing,
and no fear need be entertained of the
Southdown failing, with ordinary care-tIe
same care that all sheep are entitled toto
stand an Ontario Winter as well as the best.
The Southdown is more plentiful In Cana
da than the other Downs. 1t is lively,
" chunky" active sheep very well adapted
Tor rough lands, or billy region, but
thriving anywhere. Without, therefore, in
the least discouraging the use OF Shrop-
shire, Hampshire, or Oxford Downs where
1t may be deemed expedient, either from
convenience or In order to keep up the
size of the flock, to employ them, it is to
the Southdowns the farmers, will proab5ly
be induced to look, as far as the male ami
NAL is col cerned, to obtain the sheep want
ed for shipment to Great Britain. But TO
get and also 10 obtain the particular class
of wool most in demand, and respecting
which more will be said hereafter, the
evidence points very strongly to cross of
the down on the long -wooled or native
sheep. What proportions of any breed
may be found in the latter 1t Is impossible
to saw. The trace of the Down has prob
ably not been altogether lost during the
long period Leicesters, Cotswaids and Lin
coins have held the field. But it is not
difficult TO perceive that in every varying
degree, the "natives" have been gradually
stamped more and more with the long
wooled characteristics. And, while it will
not be expedient for the careful breeder, IN
many cases to keep the Leicester and Cots
void, or the Lincoln type alive in his flock
of ewes. his object should be. if he uses
q long wooled ram, by indicious selection
of females approximating most nearly TO
the Down. to throw the balance in favor
OF the Down SIDE The black OF grey face
and the black legs are, it must be remem-
bered, a necessity in order to take the fancy
of the British buyer. For the American
lamb market, fat lamb of any breed
appears TO be welcome at some price or
other.
