FASHION NOTES.

Some of the finest cashmeres and French
buntings are now used for costumes, the
effect being very good. Many of the
former have deep. printed borders in all
designs These are useful in giving richer
appearance to the material than it would
otherwise possess. There are many ways
in which these dresses may be made. The
style is usually left to the individual but
there are suitings which are complete,
and are so designed as to render certain
set form of arrangement almost essential.
These are in all possible colors and COM
binations, and the trimmings are all pre-
pared, even to the buttons. Some Of these
costumes are lovely, while the others are
anything but artistic.
The prettiest suits show solid back
ground of fine woolen fabric in blue, olive,
plum, cardinal, or ecru. The trimmings
are of brocaded material, the designs being
small flowers arranged in closely. clustered
sprays, or in landscapes and fgure-pieces.
One style shows Kate Greenaway figures Of
boys and girls playing, and each figure is
perfect, down to the quaint, old-fashioned
costumes worn by those lively little folks;
still, the idea is not good one. Who
cares to resemble an animated picture. book
in costume? What young lady is anxious
to afford both instruction and amusement
to her juvenile friends by a display Of
brilliantly tinted Illustrations in the shapes
of girls, boys, kittens, dogs, and other
equally fascinating objects on her polo
naise? There is lack of harmony in the
whole thing which interferes sadly with
the suitability of the dress. Flowers and
irregular figures in quaint forms are all very
well, and are not only allowable but desir-
able The trouble is that the decoration is
carried go far that the original plan is lest
sight OF, and the object seems to be the in
introduction of all manner OF absurd and
inartistic designs which will attract atten.
tion as novelties. This is great mistake,
as it will eventually destroy the popular.
ity Of even the prettiest among these de.
signs. Some OF the suitings are really
extremely pretty, and as they are matched
in buttons, fans, parasols, and are furnished
with lace trimmings, the effect is frequent
ly very good. BY far the most attractive
Of these suits, however, are those which
come in some more expensive material, and
are embroidered in silks in the same shade
as the material. These are very quiet,
very tasty, and will probably be popular.
The printed and embroidered cashmere
are found in evening shades, such as shell,
salmon, rose and shrimp pink, Old gold,
and over shades, including the dead white
and the various shades Of cream. Silk
tissues, raw silks, grenadines, mulls, mus
Inns, jaconas, French satins and percales,
together with other novelty materials
which are shown in such profusion, are
suitable for evening or a.sernoon dresses.
The principal trimmings consist ef lace and
ribbons, while embroidery plays con.
spicuous part in the decoration of hand.

SOME HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Grated apples make delicious addition
and the last thing stir in the apple. Mix
it evenly, so that there will be an equal
quantity in each muffin.
Never hem braise or tissue veil with
sewing silk take some of the ravelings of
the material, thread coarse needle with it
and hem the veil. The stitches will not
show at all if small ones are taken.
A palatable drink for fever patient is
made by peeling and slicing some good tart
apples, scattering white sugar over them
and pouring boiling water over them.
When cold, pour off the water and drink.
A little bowl of sago jelly can be made
by mixing two tablespoonfuls of sago in
one pint OF water, sugar enough to sweeten
sufficiently, the juice and little OF the
grated peel of one lemon. Let it stand for
half an hour, so the sago will soften then
boil it until it is clear. 1t will need care
full attention and constant stirring to keep
it from burning.
Sliced sweet.potato pie will be a new and
welcome dish to some cooks. Steam the
potatoes till tender, not soft then cut in
thin slices. Make an upper and under
crust for the pie season with ginger and
spice the same as you do squash pie. If
you prefer you may mash the potato and
cook with milk and eggs, and then you
will have mock squash pie.
Ginger pound-cake, if made with
care, is excellent with coffee for
breakfast. Take one cup and a
half of sugar, one cup of New Orleans
molasses, three cups of flour, four eggs, one
tablespoonful each of ginger and of CHINA.
mon, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in
little hot water. Bake in shallow pans in
a moderate oven for half an hour.
Sometimes after beating the yolks of the
eggs as usual the cook is annoyed to find
that they are not smooth and light yellow,
but are "stringy" and have little Jumps !;
if for custard they spoil its good looks,
but by straining through very fine wire
sieve this trouble will be obviated, and
only very little of the egg be wasted
not so much, in fact, as if she tries to take
it out with fork or spoon.
Here is something especially for the
children Make light but not rich layer
cake, then shave up fine cupful of nice
white maple sugar add about two table,
spoonfuls OF water; let this boil till, in the
language of cook, it "hairs from the
spoon )" stir it till it begins to cool; have
the white of an egg beaten to standing
froth; stir this into the sugar and spread
between the layers of cakes.

FASHIONS OF THE oIDEE TIME.

1t is not uncommon, in criticising mod
ern fashions, to praise the simplicity OF our
grandfathers and grandmothers. But a
glance at dozen portraits, painted hun
dred years ago, shows that the over
praised simplicity never existed, except 10
the Imagination of the critic.
From 1885 to 1900 the dress of Boston
gentleman, when in full dress, was as fol-
lows:
A blue or black broadcloth coat, with
silk vest, black satin small clothes, with
silver knee buckles, white silk stockings,
and shoes with large silver buckles. 10
his shirt bosom were attached cambrlc
ruffies, while his wrists were bound with
bands of lace of the finest cambria. A
white cravat, cooked hat and powdered
hair completed his costume.
A Boston boy, who was at school IN
Philadelphia during 1854, describes the
dress OF fashionable lady of that city
and period A school friend invited him
to attend church one Sunday. They had
seated themselves in the pew of the friends
uncle, when his entrance, accompanied by
his aunt and young lady, compelled the
two to seek another pew.
The ladies wore elaborate head-dresses,
high.heeled shoes, flowing lace rutffes, and
elegant brocades, stretched over hoops so
wide that only the gentleman and them
selves could occupy pew intended for SIX
persons.
The elaborate head-dress was something
wonderful to contemplate. II was high,
far too high for beauty, and was made up
Of Grape cushions, fly caps, stiff curls and
ostrich plumes. Its construction was a
work requiring time and patience.
The hair was combed back on the top OF
the head over cushion filed with horse
hair, and row OF stiff curls was arranged
on each side resembling sausages in shape.
The hair was then powdered, and over 1T
was worn triangular piece of lace trimmed
with ribbon, called fly cap. Above this,
when the lady was in full dress, waved
ostrich plumes.
II lady was to be married early IN the
morning, she had to sit up all night, for
the head dress had to be arranged in the
evening, and to lie down would disturb its
symmetry. A story told on fashionable
lady Of that day who, being invited to a
ball, was obliged to sit on the floor OF the
carriage. Her head was too lofty to admit
OF her sitting on the seat.
By many the dark day which, in 1850,
startled from thousands the apprehension
that the end of the world had come, was
looked upon as chastisement for the
enormous hoops and high head.dresses worn
by ladies.
One popular preacher of the day, SO it is
said. delivered a sermon against extrava-
gance in dress. His text was "Top-knot,
come down" The curious, however, found
the proper reading of the text to be- let
those who are on the house top not come
down."
At the beginning of the darkness of this
day so dark that candles had to be placed
on the dinner table-a Young girl rushed
into the street, crying, 1.-The end of the
world has come, and l am only eighteen"

GOSSIP FROM FOREIGN LANDS.

There's nothing like versatility. a man.
ufacturer of chemical manures at Birming-
ham, England, has written novel which
is the most successful Of any in many
wears while Horatio james Higgins, for
merly Chief Justice of Sierra Leone, more
recently manufacturer of bottle washing g
machines in London, is published as a
bankrupt.
London workmen were busy month ago
leveling one OF the last fragments Of the
Roman wall that now remain in that city.
The mortar was found to be 30 hard and
strong that the men with difficulty broke
it up. This wall was built long before the
Norman conquest, and its splendid strength
after q thousand years may well be cited
for the benefit of the master builders Of
the present time.
In the vivisection suit against Paul Bert,
the Paris Court has gwen Judgment for the
plaintiff, though on other than vivisection
grounds. 1t is held that the boarders OF
Madame's house having been undoubtedly
driven away by the howling of the animals
experimental upon at the S9boronne,
Madame was entitled to reasonable COM
pensation. Judgment, with costs, was
given, and the Court directed that person
versed in boarding house administration
should be appointed to assess the damages
which the plaintiff sustained.
OF eight thoroughbred yearlings which
were sold in England in 1879 for ell 900,
not one could win race last year, and
their total winnings in 1880 reached the
paltry sum of fS00. Little Sister, who won
81, 100 last year, and is now one of the
most promising Derby candidates, was
picked up by Lord Falmouth for 200
guineas. Geheimniss, who won "a 300 last
year, cost only 300 guineas in 1880. There
ia long and melancholy list Of yearlings
sold during the last twenty years at prices
between 200 guineas and 1000 guineas,
most of them worth nothing.
Plans have been drawn up for an electr-
cal railway connecting the eastern and
western ends of Berlin with each other.
The road will be placed above the street
on high columns Ike the New York ele-
vated roads, and stations will be erected
at Lutzow.square, Magdeburg square, Pots
dam station, and Donhof-square. A
curious point in the plans is an arrange,
ment for lowering the trains to the street
level at stations, thus allowing people to
get out or in before the trains are raised
again to the level Of the track. Power
supplied by electricity will DO the work of
raising and lowering the trains.

BASE BALL.-At one time we opposed
base ball, and said many things that would
lead readers TO believe that the game did
not amount to much, and never did any
good. But since we have learned that
Sullivan, the champion pugilist. COM
mencea his career as short-stop OF Bos-
ton base ball club, we can see our mistake.
There is now no doubt but that base ball
is great game. From that humble be.
ginning Sullivan has risen to the highest
position known to fame in sporting circles.
He is the champion of America, barring
Paddy Ryan's mother-in-law, who swesra
she can whip Sullivan herself. Let us hear
no more against base ball.-tPeck's Sun.

Song in the lark of pinions strong,
And in my heart true Love.
