Mrs. DAYS Party.

The estimable and popular hostess
of the Day House, Reedsfort, has u
happy faculty of knowing how to get
up pleasant party, as her every eff
fort has proven. The last was no
exception, III fact every one present
could not speak praise too often
Fift-three tickts were sold, netting,
$1S5.OO.
The supper was an excellent spread
and partaken of with relish by the
merry dancers.
The country for miles around was
represented, Cottonwood and Maiden
having their full quota. Dancing was
kept~up till morning, when the then
well tired participants of the light fan
tastic sought rest by courting the
God of sleep; and here the fun began.
The band Of SEVENTEEN BABIES that
were attending their first party under
the guardianship of fond mothers, be
ing denied dancing, tuned up their
vocal organs, to the tune of "CaH me
early mother DEAR" and from every
part and corner of the house was
heard Sweet sounds of childish prattle"
particularly sweet to the multitude of
sleepy dancers. Every part known to
music was there and in full blast, choral
"trils' and runs were introduced
that seemed to so interest the weary
guests that sleep was given up. Here
"a change came over the ambition OF
the youthful choralists, probably
brought about by the liberal applica-
ton of Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup,
paregoric, etc. etc.-we had our baby
there and know how it is ourselves.
Then who should institute a solo con-
cert but the spirit of the dear departed
Faust,-read of in history and sung III
opera-with: "We wont 90 home till
morning. Home sweet home' etc,
while the multitude were, ,groaning for
morning and wishing he was home in
stead of pumping that organ, and-but
then without such little incidents in
ones life it would be burden indeed
That the party was a grand success
all will testify to, and Mrs. Day can
ever depend on her many friends when
she desires to regale them with pleas
ant party and sumptuouS repast.

How Fnshlons nrc Mndc.

After several visits to Worth's cstah-
lismcnt, / succeeded in obtaining an au-
dience of NJ. Castor Worth. In reply Ia
my wish that he would tell me "all
about the Paris fashions, he said: at
is extremely difficult to say anything on
the character of the fashions now, be-
cause there is no fashion at all. There
are so many dresSmakcrs, each ono
having her own ideas that the re-
suit Is n sort of salmagundi which
prevents the fashion from having any
definite character, such rs Il had in
former centuries. The reason why there
have been so many mixtures of every
kind is because communication between
Nations is now so easy and rapid that a
Dew fashion has not time to be worn by
everybody before another one comes.
In reality, there are very few ladies who
dress absolutely according to the exist
ing fashion. Women will not accept n
fashion Just when IL Is shown TO them
Fthey prefer to have what they have been
accustomed TO for years past, and It
is rather difficult to make them under
stand that they must try to change
their habits. / will give you an
