Bnstles, shoulder-str Etc.

The most fashionable modistes de-
pend principally on the drapery of the
dress itself for giving the very large
/ tournures which are now in vogue.
There are, however, many who do not
understand arranging these. intricate
| draperies, and there are flat figures that
need small hustle in addition to any
dress, no matter how full. For these
slight figures the newest bustles are
made of eight narrow frills of barred
muslin or hair-cloth very fully plated
on a V-shaped foundation piece of the
same muslin, that is curved into shape
/ by strings tied across it-not by the OBJ
/ jectionable bones or steel hoops. If
| anything more is needed, one or two
steels are put in castings across the back
| breadths of the dress skirt. There is
/ also what is called hustle skirt, COM
bining tournure and petticoat in one,
and this, when trimmed across the foot
! with founces, is worn by stout
! ladies, and made to serve as the
only skirt. This has some hoops
across the back that stop on the sides,
and there are one or two muslin
| tiounces around the foot; tapes attached
to the sides are tied underneath the
hoops to give the desired curve. An
other skirt that gives good size, dis
penses with hoops, and may be easily
made at home, and laundried there at
small cost. is also a hustle skirt made of
corded muslin. The muslin with the
cords IN bars takes the starch hest,
/ but that with the cords in stripes

about two yards and an eighth in
width at the foot, with the front and
side cores slightly sloped to the top,
and the back breadth sloped up the
middle, thus cutting it in two pieces to
make a shapely foundation for flounces
that are placed across it. There are
five of the founces that cover it FROM
few inches below the belt to the foot,
and the lowest tlounce goes below the
skirt. These gathered founces are very
full, and after being stiffiy starched
they are worn -rough-dried" d"-that is,
without ironing. Instead of straight
belt they have a French waistband
shaped to point in front, and made
quite large, with a drawing-string in
the top. Such skirts can be bought in the
shops for one dollar, and can probably be
made at home at even less expense The
hair pads or cushion bustles are still
put inside of dress skirts, but are object
ed to on account of their warmth. A
plating of very stiff barred crinoline is
a better arrangement, and may be at
tached to the belt of each dress.
Shoulder-straps similar to gentle
mems suspenders are furnished to hold
up heavily trimmed dress skirts, and
keep them in their proper place just be-
low the waist line. These may be
merely elastic ribbons sewed perma-
nently to the skirt back to be passed
over the shoulders and hooked or but
toned to the belt in front. There are
also separate suspenders that may be.

KISSING AWAY THE DIlIPLEs.

Twas going to kiss tie dinples from out the
little cheeks
Where they ripple and they dance every time
she laughs or speaks.
She said shouldn't do it; but held her fast
and tight,
And kissed and kissed the rosy little face with
I'LL my might.
And then pair of eyes twinkled very gravely
out,
And pair of little lips gathered up e doleful
pout,
With little dropping corners-no wonder, you
will say,
To see such bonny, bonny dimples stolen all
away.
I thought should have kept them for just a
little while;
But little teeth were soon peeping through a
little smile,
And then a laugh like sunshine was over all
her face.
And every dimple had stolen was back again
in place.

Ed. HERALD.-If you will allow us the
space we will endeayor TO make replies to
certain articles that have appeared in the
HERALD some two or three weeks ago-not
that we wish to make a medium of the
HERALD by which TO give over" some
loose ink" but simply to make a clear I'M
Outstanding of the circumstances.
There was an item from Middlecreek APP
peared in the issue of February l., 1888,
giving a very slight description of a pro-
tracted meeting being held at Oakdale by
the "Winebrenarians." and that Elder Cum
n~ingham was laboring faithfully in the good
cause, and we believe also giving the num-
Der of converts.
Now it was not intended TO be a .lur,
neither was it intended to excite the ire OF
any one. The reasons we give for making
use of the term win ebrenarians'; was SIM
ply to tell which sect or division of the
Church of Cod When we speak of the
Church of God" we mean the different
sects taken as a whole-that is all true
Christian churches-and we are not so mar
row-minded and selfish as to think I'VE only
are the true Christians" no matter to which
division or sect we belong.
an not so well versed in the history of
the denominations as TO say exactly the
founder of the church of God is Rev. Wine
brenner: nevertheless, ! will take it up and
hope your other correspondents will do
likewise, if they have not done so already.
But coming still a little closer we might
safely say that the meeting was held by
some very Jealous and active members of
another most excellent church.
As for the Mt. Pleasant correspondent
speaking of the ignorance of the SONS Of
Middlecreek, we might make this assertion,
that we have leased our ignorant son or
sons, as the case might be, to some of our
sister counties. If he desires to know very
much what kind of an organization those
Winebrenarians are and what they practice,
we would kindly ask him to wait until the
next meeting is started at Oakdale, proyid-
ing that is the place, or in fact at any other
church of that sect in this and adjoining
communities, and cordially invite him to
attend and see for himself so that the editor
is not "skeeredr by such obnoxious scrib-
blings. and the uninterested may have some
food for the mind that is more nourishing
ard not 'hsggled" by the work of ignor-
ance on either side.
We do not know whether calling the
church by her right name will make men of
US or not, but if that is the only thing that
will, then we will say let us always be
BOYS: We do not want 10 be men IL that is
the only thing that will elevate Us to that
standard.
We are not at all seciarian. not so much
so as some Others are, and viii take the Ill
erty to remark, remove the filth from your
door before you begin your impover-
ished gable about your ~neighbors." We do
intend to keep quiet not in the least,
and suppose we are born about as free rs he
is. BY his light talk and thin questions we
are inclined to think he just came down"
