Curtains.

Curtains are used so much for door
ways that the ingenuity of woman is
tried to achieve something in curtains a
little different from her neighbors'
One successful woman made pair of
dark brown felt; they reached just to
the floor; did not lie upon it at all.
About half yard from the bottom was
placed band of plush at least half a
yard wide, and of the exact color Of a
pussy willow bud just before it shows
signs of opening that soft and exquis-
tie shade of gray. These bands were
blind stitched to the felt, and there was
no embroidery or ornamentatien ofony
kind. And yet in day OF ornate en-
Enlistment they were handsome and
satisfactory to the eye.

rrna Fascination.

The reign of very young girls over
the heart of man is ended. Sweet six
teen" is insipid f,cinating eighteen"
tame. At twenty-five the young lady
of the present day may be said to be in
teresting, at thirty she is charming, and
at thirty three fascinating But it is
not till the woman gets well into the
forties that she reaches the angelic
period where temper no longer yields
the mastery, and mature thought
smooths out the ragged outlines of her
mental life. IL she understands the
art of self-preservation she may also re-
tain at this age the better part of her
physical charmes, and be pretty in spite
of the years. Ninon de L'Enclos was
regarded as belle and beauty at six
ty. and care and discretion are only nee
essary to carry the beauty of youth far
into mature life Another custom is
coming into vogue which must lend hope
to many spinster and widow of UNI
certain age, and that Is the fashion of
women marrying men younger th1n
themselves. Perhaps this can hardly
be called a novel innovation, however,
for it has been practieed in the older
countries for many years, and in Ireland
has long been the custom. DR..
johnson married woman old enough
to be his mother; Disraeli was many
years his wife's junior, and Aaron Burr
married widow several years older
than himself. The famous Madame
de Stael was forty-four
when she picked UP a young
officer of twenty or so, and Rachel mat
ried Warrington Won Ense when she was
over forty, and he in the twenties. All
of these were happy marriages, and
Miss Thackeray, Mrs. Craik, and Mar
geret Fuller seemed to believe in such
unions, for they chose comparative
Youngsters for matrimonial mates. Mod
ern and recent marriages of this kind
have proved lucky unions, and as some
of the latter have given sort of tone
and fashion to the custom, we may look
out for tide in that direction. IL it
becomes the fashion for women to
choose husbands younger than them
selves, old fashioned folk may preach
against it in vain.

Something Concerning a Young Woman

Something Concerning a Young Woman
Who, in Masculine Attire, Turned Farn1-
er.
From the Nashville American
A wealthy farmer in Rutherford coun-
ty not long since was applied to by a
good-looking lad for work, the boy say
ing he preferred to drive harvester or
a wagon or do other light work about
the farm. The applicant looked so deli
cate that the farmer refused the request,
but gave the lad the name of farmer
in an adjoining county, who wanted a
hoy to milk cows. The situation was
sought and the lad taken on trial The
two farmers met few days since, in
Nashville, and got to talking about the
lad. Said the employer of the boy ::
"He is the best mixer | ever saw, and
can get more milk from the cows than
anyone l ever had before him. He at
tends strictly to business and suits me
first rate, but I'm afraid he is going to
create a sensation yet"
Being pressed by his friend, the
farmer was compelled to admit that his
wife had discovered, through the merest
accident, that the supposed boy he had
employed to milk the cows was a wom-
an. "When found it out 1 told my
wife the girl would have to go, as it
would never do to have our neighbors
know we had woman parading around
the farm in top boots. My wife told me
she didn't think anybody else would ever
find it out, and it was worth while tax
ing the chances on it, and the lad suited
us 50 well. 1 liked George and took
my wife's advice, and l think she will
be able to stay with us and wear mems
clothes as long as she wants to.
"She lived up in Indiana and had not
heard about Middle Tennessee, where
you could throw your hat on the ripen-
ing wheat and it would bear it up, it
was so thick and strong; so she deter
mined to come down here and get work
on farm, where she could get work in
the open air nearly all the year round.
1t was then that she determined to
carry out long cherished plan, that of
assuming the garb of a man, which adj
ded much to her independence in seek
ing situation. And you ought to see
henry mixer. She's a dandy, can
tell YOU She weighs about 140 pounds,
is large for woman, being about five
feet eight. Her hair is black, and she
parts it on the side and wears it very
short. She has large feet and hands,
and wears kid boots two sizes too long
for her. She has a round face and a
roguish twinkle in her large black
eyes, and her coarse shirt is always
kept buttoned close around her well
shaped neck.
When 1 tell you she wears wide
brimmed, coarse straw hat ON the back
of her head, and tight-fi fitting green
jeans pants thrust loosely in the top of
her coarse boots, always has a kind word
and joke for everybody and Is very
much liked by my wife, l leave you
nothing to add to the picture"

English weddings.

As weddings in tile English style
are all the rage this season, it may be
interesting to mention few points re-
garding what is considered the correct
form on the other side of the Atlantic.
After the departure of the bride and
bridegroom the party at once breaks up;
and in London it is not customary to
have any festivity in the evening. In
the country there is often dance
to amuse those staying in the
house. Neither car is nor cake are
sent, and people discover for
themselves when the young couple re-
turn from their wedding tour, and call
at their convenience When tho bride
appears for the first time at dinner in
any house she takes precedence of ev-
cry one, no matter how high his rank
provided such appearance is within
three months of her marriage, after
which time she is no longer considered
q bride. This custom is, however, be-
ginning to fall into disuse, excepting In
rural districts. The bridegroom does
not obtain any precedence. The bride
often wears her wedding dress for her
first large dinners and parties, the or
ange blossoms must be removed, as
they are only permissible on the we'd
ding day.
