Night Gowns.

The prevailing styles for nightgowns are
the sacque shapes with yokes of lace or en-
broidery. novelty is night robe Of fine
India linen, with Vatican plat in the back
which has q dennis train, the entire front Of
rich Florentine lace edging in cascades down
the center and in g double quilting around the
bottom. Linen lawn is much used with real
lace for handsome gowns, made up with what
are termed Pompadour yokes. The Mother
Hubbard gown model borrowed from the
chlldren's dress of that rame-is another style.
On the more expensive robes there is wealth
Of garniture, and the garment follows the out
line of the figure closely, suggesting dressing
robe Or wrapper rather than q nightgown.

The Almanac.

The new almanac is ready to be hung in
the place of honor under the mantle-plece,
and the old back number for 1883 will have
to 90. Its days are few, and never more
will the careful housewife consult its
pages to learn the proper time to set the
brindle hen. 1t is our annual custom to
say something about the new almanac, not
because there is anything fresh or startling
in it, but because it calls up old memories
of childhood's happy day when we used to
sit for hours pondering over the new
almanac and wondering why the village
sewing society neglected year after year to
send pair of trousers to the old man
whose picture appeared on the cover.
Among the great variety Of almanacs that
come annually to our homes is the medi-
cal almanac. We could never get along
without the medical almanac. 1t usually
opens the subject with cut OF a pair OF
lungs. You know it is the cut OF pair
ofIungs because you read that tits, under
meath Of it. Further over, as the subject
grows more interesting, you will find
pages embellished with artistic engrav-
ings of the liver and lot more of the
works that a human being usually has in
his interior department, and when you sit
down and carefully read the medical
almanac through, and believe all that you
read in it, You will wonder why any per-
son should run up bill forhis own funer-
al expenses when twenty-five cents
worth pills and fifty cents worth Of liver
teaser will cure anything from plain
case Of malaria without trimmings to the
worst case of acute blind staggers. Il
doesn't make any difference how long a
Latin name a disease may have, the medi-
cal almanac will tell you in one easy les
son how to take it by the coat collar, SO to
speak, and yank it out Of your system in
one time and two motions. There is a
great deal of cheerful reading in the
medical almanac, if you can only believe

Not so Bad as She Feared.

1t was midnight; midnight in Elkton.
A Main street home was clothed in dark
ness, save that one faint ray Of light came
through the chinks of bed room blind
and fell athwart the roof Of the Queen
Ann hen-house in the back yard. Sud
denly the sound of unsteady footsteps
upon the front porch fell upon restless
ears above, and a moment later solitary
form robed in white descended the stairs
behind a kerosene lamp. The footsteps
had ceased but muttered imprecations
were heard from without against the base
villain who had stolen the keyhole. Then
the hall door was opened from within,
and man who seemed to be jointed at
the middle and to have an ungovernable
inclination to shut himself up like jack
knife was seen attempting to support
himself by one hand against the janb OF
the door and in the other hand holding
the pocket cork-screw which he had been
vainly trying to push into the key hole.
"Henrv," said the white-robed figure
behind the kerosene lamp, with voice
full Of sadness and look Of deepest con-
Germ upon her countenance, " Henry, oh,
Henry! what have you been drinking?"
"Nozin', my dear-nozin' but plain
whiskey."
"Thank heaven, Henry, it is no worse ~
answered the white-robed figure, as if a
great load had been lifted off her heart, as
She sat down the lamp and assisted Henry
into the hall. "Thank heaven; I thought
it was crab-apple cider"

n.,ss potter,s Readings.

We venture to, say that Middletown has
never had a finer entertainment than that
Of last evening by Miss Helen Potter, un-
der the auspices of the Lyceum Commit
tae at Middletown Hall. The house was
fairlv we'll filled, though not so well filled
os MIGHT have been expected. But the
,,,ootber was very unfavorable until near
evening. when there were Indications OF
clearing, and the roads were IN oad cohul-
tion. Miss Potter captured the favor OF
her audience at her first appearance and
held il to the end of the program. her
readings were, "a Christmas Story Dy
Dickens; "Drifting," by 7. 3. Read; 'Ihe
T,eoend of Bregenz" by Adelaide Proc
tor g Going Somewhere" a little news
raner sketch; and "The Specimen Read
~ class - The "Christmas Story was
especially a grand effort that one could
not regret a very long ride to hear. The
brioht little newspaper sketch, "Going
Somewhere" displayed the readers Won
derful control Of expression and voice.
This most delightsome bit Of humor was
heartily appreciated by the audience but
for that matter, Miss Potter read nothing
that was not heartily appreciated by her
audience. The "Specimen Reading Class"
was most amusing effort that caused
great deal of merriment. Miss Potter $
costumed impersonations were, "Nydla,
The Blind Girl of Pompeii )" voting,
= N Snsan B. Anthony; "The Modern
School Girl - and Temperance" la
John B. Cough. All were fine, but the
impersonation of Cough was so surprl-
sinolv like the real article that those in
the audience who had seen Mr.. Cough
were half persuaded that it was indeed
the real Cough before them, instead OF
Miss Potter, who had only few minutes
before gone skipping off the stage as "The
Modern School Girl with a head full Of
"molecules' and "protopIasms." A part
of one of Coughs lectures on temperance
was given and it seemed to be given as no
person but John B. Cough could give
il. The voice, ennunciation and GESTURES
were well-nigh perfect. As Burdette has
said, "Helen Potter as John B. Cough is
more like John B. Cough than John b.
Cough is like himself" Miss Potter was
frequently applauded and we are assured
that our people who heard her last evening
were more than delighted. But the en-
tainment was not financial success, ana
the Lyceum Committee will have to ''shell
out about forty dollars to meet the def
cheney. Prices orchesta entertained the
audience with good music between Miss
Potter's efforts. Miss Potter was intro
duced to the audience by Or. J. G, Car
roll, chairman of the Lyceum committee.

veloped in New Castle Jail during Tuesday
