DAINTY WORK FOR FAIR HANDS
Photograph Frames, Tissue Lamp Shades
and Lovely Jewel Cases.

1t is now the fashion to carry the opera
glass, handkerchief, ETC., in little bag
held on the arm by ribbon. A dainty
one may be made at home out of an old
silk handkerchief and q piece of silk.
The silk may be in two colors, one for
each side. The bag should measure
eight or ten inches square and should be
lined with the silk handkerchief. The
ribbon should be run around the open
ing two inches from the top and tied in
a large loop and bow. The monogram
or initials embroidered on one side in
silk and an edging of Valenciennes or
Oriental lace about the top, add to the
effect.
A pretty frame for q photograph may
be made out of the cover of a pasteboard
box. Cut out the frame to fit, then
cover neatly with piece of garnet or
dark blue silk or silesia. Over this paste
maple leaves, which may be gathered
beautifully tinted at this season. The
leaves should be put on with the points
in one direction. Cover with coating
of copal varnisb. If desired the frame
can be made oval ore circular.
A Brooklyn girl has made a pretty
lamp-shade out of sheet of pink tissue
paper. She first cut it in piece OF
eight inches wide and three-quarters OF
yard long. This was neatly pasted to-
gether and the top and bottom cut in
long pointed scallops. The whole was
ther folded in knife pleatings and
pressed between two books. When
carefully opened the part to 60 about
the top of the lamp was caught by
band of the paper pasted an inch from
the edge, and butterfly bow orna-
mented on one side. When placed over
the white porcelain shade rosy tint is
thrown out which will be found very
pretty for the parlor and also becoming
the complexion.
Lovely jewel cases may be made out
of cigar-boxes. Cover the outside with
some light-tinted silk or satin. Line
the inside of the lid and box with one
thickness of cotton batting and cever
this with the silk or satin. A box-plait-
ing of narrow satin ribbon or narrow
velvet nailed down with tiny brass nails
will keep the satin in place about the
edges. A little musk or cologne shonld
be spripkled over the cotton.
A pretty bed for pet cat or dog may
ha made ont nf an old snuare fruit
basket. Tip one end of the cover in
side the basket and fasten it SO with
strong cotton. Varnish the basket with
shoe bronze and put pretty bit of car
pet inside, and bow of ribbon on the
outside. A little bannerette of silk, with
the name of the pet embroidered on it,
placed oyer the front of the basket will
make this little bed more attractive

John McCulIOugh's Wooden Sword.

Now that John Mccullough is no
longer in view as Virginius, but only as
his broken self, the publication of truths
about him is not followed by his man.
ayers hot denials. Some time ago the
members of his company became aware
of his condition. There was young,
new actress, Viola Allen, playing Vir-
ginia for him. Doubtless you have seen
him in the great scene of the tragedy,
where to save his daughter from dishon-
or he stabs her to death; and may be
you had the willowy, ingenious and
trustful Viola for the Virginia. On real
izing the mental disturbance of the ira
gedian her confidence became altogether
a matter of adulation. She knew that
night after night he was distraught and
unreasonable in the subsequent mad
passage of the play, and why might not
he use the knife on her in earnest She
spoke to the stage manager on the sub
iect and refused to be pooh poohed.
"Pshaw?' he said, "the knife is too
dull to cut you, anyhow"
"But it's got point" the nervous
girl replied, "and he could jab it right
nto me if he tried. You know how
strong he is, and sometimes he acts as if
he thought the play was reality. No,
sir; I won't keep the part if Mr.. McCul-
Tough doesn't use wooden knife"
The role is hard one to get well
acted, because juvenility and skill are
both requisite, and the manager did not
like to let Viola go; SO it was explained
to Mr.. Mccullough as adroitly as posi-
BILE that she was senselessly nervous
and that painted wooden blade would
honor her without doing any harm. He
acquiesced; but it is said that he re-
ceived in this incident his first intima-
tion that his reason was being distrusted.

The REASON. is complaint
among merchants, says Western pa
per, of a scarcity of 81 and 81 bills, and
the reason is said to be because there
was no appropriation made for printing
more of them. There are probably
enough already printed, but just now,
right after harvest, they have all been
paid in on subscriptions to country pub
fishers, who have not yet paid them out
