The Empress Josephine had 600 600
francs for her personal expenses, but
this sum was lot sufficient, ami her debts
increased to an appalling degree. Not
withstanding the position Of her hus-
band, she could never submit to either
order or etiquette in her private life.
She rose at 9 o'clock. Her toilet con
sumed much time, and she lavished IN
wearied efforts on the preservation and
establishment Of her person. She
changed her linen three times day, and
never wore any stockings that were not
new. Huge baskets were brought to her
containing different dresses. shawls and
hats. From these she selected her cos
tune for the day. She possessed be-
tween 300 and 400 shawls, and slways
wore one in the morning, which she
draped about her shoulders with uu-
equaled grace. She purchased all tina.

Bingham Dresses.

Two colors are especially popular for
Scotch bingham dresses, viz, very pale
blue. with white Hamburg embroidery
for trimming, and the quaint dark red
shade that is called "crushed straw
berry," with ecru Irish point embroid-
cry. These dresses are very simply
made, as they are to be laundried often,
so that they may be always fresh, and
their dressy look is given by the snowy
embroidery used upon them; for in
stance, when there are the usual two
gathered hounces around the skirt, they
are further teautified by band of wide
white Hamburg insertion in open design
being laid just above the hem of each
hounce. and stitched there by machine

pointed at the end is laid in each pleat
half it's length, and this tab may descend
from the top of the pleat, or extend up

cellent over skirt. easily washed and
ironed, is made with an apron that has .
sloped front breadth with a gore each
side OF it sewed to belt, laid in perma-
nent pleats each side, bound down the
sides, edged with a wide embroidered
rufle, and supplied with two sets Of
tapes to tie it back properly. The back

Not q Practical Joker.

Frank Chanfrau had great sDtipathy
for the late E. 3. Southern, and his Oft
made assertion that the median owed hiG
popularity chiefly to the advertisements
resulting from his practical jokes. While
playing his last engagement in this city,
Chanfrau was Disguised at the smallness
of his house, and determined to perpe-
trate some Southernish oddity that
would set the papers talking about him,
for Frank possesses one of these abnor-
mally frugal minds not uncommon in
rich actors, which fully appreciates the
economy of free advertising.
One evening, after his performance,
Chanfrau carefully disguised himself in

hair and strangely cut clothes of u trsv-
cling Cuban, and repairing to well
known saloon he walked up to q table
where sat group of press writer's and
critics. Addressing the dramatic editor
