The impression still obtains that the
Southern people cherish such a deadly ha-
tired to Yankees that they will neither smell,
taste touch, nor handle anything contami-
mated by Yankee hands This says South
ern writer, is most egregious error. The
Southern people love the Yankee. and they
show this affection in a thousand different
ways. When they retire at night they un-
button Yankee buttons 70 Yankee made
coats. waistcoats. pantaloons, shirts and
drawers. They pull off Yankee boots with
Yankee boot Jacks. and dyest their feet of
Yankee socks. They march to Yankee bed
stcads, turn down Yankee coverlets, Yankee
blankets, PROSTATE themselves on Yankee
mattresses, and lay their heads on Yankee
pillows The bed-bugs are the only things
not made by Yankee hands and imported
from the land of the Yankees. On rising in
the morning We tread Yankee carpets, STUN
bic over ankee chairs and sofas, build
fire with Yankee coal taken from Yankee
scutties IN ankee CRATES, catch the ashes in
Yankee pans. and use Yankee pokers, Yam
kee shovels and tongs. We repair to Van
kee washStands, pour water from Yankee
pitchers in Yankee bowls, and wash with
Yankee soap. then use Yankee towels and
Yankee tooth-brusheS. Next we march to
Yankee bureau, stand before a Yankee glass
and use Yankee combs. Yankee brushes,
Yankee powder. Yankee cologne, In Yankee
bottles. We sit down IN a Yankee chair TO
a Yankee table covered with Yankee cloth,
Yankee knives and forks. Yankee dishes,
aud feed upon Yankee food. We call for Van

Buttons are less Of buttons than formerly,
and now chiefly used for the purpose Of but
tonlng only. Not as hitherto for trimmings.
Even for their legitimate office of fastenngs,
they are frequently replaced BY basement
erie frogs and cords. and here quite favorits
designs are palm leaves, or oblong shaped
ornaments. A unique idea TO tasten the
neck Of dress, is clasp with two animal
heads set in metal frame, and skirt draper
les are also styllshly caught by one or more
as convenient. Ii buttons are less layishly
used than Of yore, however, the variety of
material is as great as ever, yet just now
great preference is given TO hammered metal.
Embroidery is very prominent as finish,
and much favor is shown towards applique
of something different from the dress, set in
soutache braid, velvet on cashmere, etc. Of
material We find box plaits, hounces and fac
ings, largely employed; velvet ribbon is very
fashionable in rows. and ves with gros grain
ribbon in bows.
