STRAwBRlDGE s. CLoTHIER's QUARTERLY
for Autumn, 1884, has ,6ust been received
fsom the publishers rs gaily printed cover
is becoming familiar indication that new
season is upon u.s. The subject selected for
trontispiece for this number will appeal to
the majority of its subscribers, being 'The
First Born" To those who already receive
this magazine, it will be superfluous to say
that the earlier part is made-up of instluc-
tive and interesting articles, we'll illustrated: !:
that being the characteristic feature of this
excellent publication; no light or frivolous
matter OF any kind is admitted to its col
umns. Turning over the leaves we notice
that the variety of subjects in which ladies
delight is set before them in the usual
attractive manner. To keep the nimble
fingers busy, as the evenings are growing
! longer, there are articles on decorated
Towels, Embroidered Cushions, ""Knitted
Lambrequins and Counterpanes, ''Foldng
Screens" 'Old English Embroidery"
'How to Applique, ""Home Art Novelties -
and several other equally fascinating topics
The quarterly review of fashions is supple
mented by Articles on "Seasonable Wraps"
''liow to Dress for a Photograph" Chat
many ladies need to leam) and 'Some
Hints on Dress and Manners" A very SEN
slble and practical scheme IS given for what
is indeed 'NIodel Kitchen" and if we
were building, we would be more than
tempted to take the advice. The crazy-work
fever that does not yet abate, is fed with an
article on "Qults." We notice in passing
that "Spatter-work" is described and illus
trated. Mothers are advised how t. make
clothing for their children aid outfits for
those who have become schoolgirls. The
article on GLOW to Paint Miniature may
lead to good results in a branch of amateur
work that is not over-crowded. We notice
that 'John's Wife, has varied her subjects,
though not her style we are glad to say; and
we will leave the reader to find out the
departure. The kitchen page is still ably
conducted by The Caterer. Then come the
music pages, filled in this issue by compo-
sition from the pen of Simon Hassler, the |
widely-known Philadelphia musician. This |
ends the literary part of the Qudrterly Then |
follows the portion devoted to fashions in |
all the forms that an immense dry goods |
house has to offer to the buying public. 1t
is that part Of the book that appeals most
strongly to the stay-at-home buyer, who
does not wish to be behind the times in her
apparel, and yet is unable to go to town in
person and buy. Here she will find almost
everything she needs that can be called dry
goods, illustrated, described, and priced.

EVENING REST. By j. L. Pratt. Young
Folks Library. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co.
Price 20 cts. A simple, quiet story, whose
character is adequately expressed by the
title. Evening Rest is the name given to a
little hamlet in the Blue Ridge region of
Pennsylvania, remarkable for the beauty of
its surroundings and the lovely character of
its people. Thither goes young man from
the East to visit an uncle whom he has
never before seen, and his experiences during
the stay make up the contents of the book,
One incident of the story is strongly dram
attic in character. A family party, one of
the members being the young man referred

Erening Rest, story by J.. L. Pratt, is of
that class of literature that cannot be over
commented to parents or guardians as read
ing matter for those young minds building
out to an independence of thought. The in
tention of the story, though incidentally
aut!atheistic, is not so much to proselytize,
as to demonstrate to the strong young mind
the destruction between license and liberty
in thought. Still the story is too bright and
pleasant to be called religious, and to strong
to be criticized as sentimental.

to, visit coal mine. While passing through
one OF the narrow passages, the guide fires a
pistol to show the effects of the echo. The
concussion of the air starts loose part of
the roof overhead and a portion falls in.
The little company is shut up in the earth
with little chance of ever seeing the light
again. They have lights, however, and
stumble across some tools, and by dint OF
many hours hard labor they are at length
able to communicate with their friends out
side, who are at last able to rescue them.
The author, through the story, dwells much
upon the sweet and tender influences of
home. In Ecening Rest he creates an ideal
household and community, and strives to
show how much they have to do with the
formation of character.
