This simple process is called "des ccating,"
and the principal companies engaged in thus
preparing eggs are situated in New York
and st. Louis. 1t is said that neither salt

A Mistnke of Fashionable Women.

1t is with sorrow that see many of my
countrywomen extending their hands to
invite to this country that which is least
worthy and substantial in the society OF
the Old World. The empty amusements
which, as far as possible, assmilate the.gen-
tleman to the groom; the awkward die
ton of men who hold to the feudal disre-
spect for scholarship, and who, having been
obliged TO pass through school and univer-
sity, rather pique themselves upon show
ing how little these have done for them, the
boorish manners of men who are at home
with horses, but not at all with the
ladiss-all these features are becom-
ing adopted in the programme of Amer
icBn high life. Our youdg men who used
to stand upon their politeness ss a merit
now assume as such rude indifference
which does not belong to them. At fash
ionable reunions they stand together talk
ing their club talk and leaving "the girls"
as the young ladies are now called, to amuse
themselves as they can. The glamour OF
rank is so great as TO have an appreciate
influence in the minds of our young ladies. |

height of fashionable ambition in America. |

Mrs. Langtry as "RozaIind. f"

NEW YORK, Nov. BIN spite of the
storm Of wind and rain, the Langtry debut
in the charming. role of Rosalind, was q
superb success. 1t is unnecessary to say
anything about it pecunisrily, because
there is such Langtry craze here that
people would cheerfully pay dollar to
see her walk on Broadway.or five dollars to
see her cross the Brooklyn bridge. Every
seat was sold a week ago. 1t would be
difficult to exaggerate the social stir
that Langtry's Rosalind created. No one
believed that she could bring to the part
any mental or professional novelty, OF guise
or Interpretation, and, to do the lady JUS
tiee, no pretence that she could was put
forward by her manipulators. Mrs. Lang
try is an anomaly and her appearance on
the stage Is singularity. We all agree
that the country abounds with prettier and
more attractive women, while to write of
her acting would be an unforgivable alb
surdity. To deny that she is a social SEN
sation would be equally silly.

that the former will be more distinguished

The Sealskin Habit.

The sealskin sacque SO popular among
women has long been an object of mascu-
line dread, according to the newspaper hui
morists. The comic department OF every
issue of Chicago, Cincinnati or st. Louis
paper never fails to contain some reference
to the sufferings Of the man who is re-
quested to buy sealskin sacque for his
wife, and the western father is, according
to the same authority, constantly
brought to the verge of bankruptcy
through buying sealskin sacques for his
daughters. There is another grave charge
which may be brought against the
same attractive and costly gar
ment. 1t leads TO moro violations of
our revenue laws than does any other arti-
Gle known to importers. Sealskin sacques
can be bought in Canada much more cheaply
than III the United States, and the dream
of every enterprising American woman is TO
go to Montreal TO buy a sealskin sacque, and
to smuggle it through the United States
custom-house. The chief statistician of the
oustom.house asserts that seventeen thou
sand lin round numbers) American women
annually visit Canada in order to make this
dream blessed reality. OF these, two
thousand seven hundred and eighteen are
detected in the possession OF sealskin

SION Of the dutiable garment, and after
failing TO brbie the inspectors with smiles
and sweet words, pay the duty, and the
rest Of the seventeen thousand sue
cessfully smuggle their purchases. Now,
when we think, what the act Of smuggling
sealskin sacque through the custom
house involves; the falsehoods that must be
told and sworn to; the loss Of self-respect
consequent upon the commission of perjury
and fraud, and the terrible strain upon this
temper that results from making sealskin
sacque temporarily take the place OF the
delicate aud esoteric eambric fabrics said
by experts TO be worn by ladies in the sum-
mer season, We can comprehend the seal
skin sacque is q fearfully demoralizing gar
ment. Women who would never think Of
smuggling steel rails, hemp roue, or Eng
llsh blankets, cannot resist the temptation
70 smuggle sealskin sacques, and we shall
probably never know the vast extent OF the /
which the qualification Of
this propensity entails.-lNeW York Times. |

Pastimes of Wealthy Girls.

Can you guess what is the newest FASH
ionable diversion for young women OF
wealth and leisure? Dressing live dolls,
That is to say, they make toys of little girls
sisters, nieces, cousins, anything in the
shape of little girl will do, ifshe be comely.
This has Suddenly become a rage in certain
circles. l know an only daughter who, hay
ing no little girl relative, uses the three
yearold offspring of one of her papa's poor
tenants, pretty little chit, on whom she
places costly costumes with all the ardor of
fresh pursuit. The child is as cute as
possible in Kate Greenaway gar
ments, and my lady takes delight in
dressing her after some quaint picture
Two or three afternoons week she is
arrayed in something novel and taken out
for walk or drive. OF course that will not
last long AMI the child will soon be returned
to calico. 1t is not right for rich women to
divert themselves in any such way, nor is
there any excuse for it, now that it is
fashionable to do art needle-work, Some
ingenious girls of my acquaintance are
making their own capes, NUTS and cuffs by
sewing together fancy feathers from the
wings and breasts of native birds, which
they fasten to thin silk or muslin, line with
satin and edge with border of feathers,
arranged as fringe. Decorating with
feathers, IN fact, is greatly in vogue for
amusement. Some are wearing collars and
small mutfs of dark velvet, bordered with
their own hands with feathers, those OF
ducks, pheasants, peacocks, etc., being en-
ployed. The plumage intended for trim.
ming hats and bonnets is also purchased
and taken to pieces to fancifully decorate
