Broom Manufacture.

The process of broom manufacture is
q most interesting one. The Tennes-
see broom corn is the finest in the
world, and the seed is sought by all the
Western and Northern States that grow
broom corn for market. The first work
in making a broom is to give it a dipped
water bath. 1t then goes for another
night into the bleaching house, in which
is suspended a pot Of birthstone, the
fumes of which do the bleaching. II
next goes to the sizing department.
where the straw is assorted. After this
1T goes to the shaping machines, all
worked by hand, then the tinishers put
on the extra touches, and the broom is
ready for market. In finishing a broom,
after the corn is shaped to the handle,
it goes through ten or more different
hands, each one doing his part to it. in
Guiding stitching, stripping the handles,
cutting Off the ends and finally labelling
and tying up in bundles ready for ship.

work Of four boys, this meaning the
cutting of the corn for the process OF
sizing. The price of brooms ranger
from Is cents to Sc per dozen, or from
SO to $72 per gross.-Atloasa Con-

Dress Trimmings.

Black embroidered laces with seal
loped edges and embroidered net to
match are the new trimmings for
dresses of black silk or satin. These
laces have very fine meshes, on which
flowers are wrought with silk; they
cost S1.5o and upwards for trimming
widths, while the piece lace is about SIS
q yard. Escurial laces with very thick
cord around the large figures, and the
thread laces, both real and in the ex-
cellent French limitations, are also
used, and there are still many OF the
elective jetted faces and nets employed
for trimmings. The preference, how
grmps almost entirely OF jet, some
times made of fine beads strung to-
gether in lace like patterns, While
others have larger cut beads in very
wide garniture OF points or Of palms,
or perhaps there ar raised disks with
q velvet background studded with
large Jet beads. The wide palms and
disks may be separated and set about on
tho corsage or sleeves as epaulets. or as
cuffs, and also on the panels. Sets of such
trimmings form W. panels of grad
uated size for the front or sides OF the
skirt, and there are narrower passe-
menteries Tor trimming the basque.
Separate drop trimmings Of Jet or of
satin, representing berries, or pine
cones, or flowers, are sold by the dozen,
and sometimes a dozen dozen are re-
CURED to set about at near intervals
over the front Of a dress skirt and it's
| vest, or on the sides OF a mantle or
cloak. More substantial beaded trim
mings are done with tine jet beads
sewed in an intricate pattern on red
satin, or pearls on white, or blue on
gray satin. to form perhaps q plastron
or a vest, with collar and cults, on a
black or d~ark-colored silk or velvet
dress; this is very costly, and half a
yard is enough to brighten up the dark
est dress.
For trimming wool dresses the yak
laces come in all %colors, both quite
plain ond enriched by metal threads,
Gilt, silver or bronze. Braids are, how
ever, the popular trimming for wool
dresses. and these are most effective in
the broad GALLONS in which gilt
and mohair braids are woven togeth-
er in basket patterns; these basket pat
terms are in such favor that they are
dlSO seen IN DulLOlS anu III DHlG lid
bons. Hercules braid forms IL founda-
ton for embroidery in Kensington
stitches of many colors for gay dresses;
for still richer costumes Of velvet or
silk there are metal GALLONS hat rep
resent Oriental colorings and designs,
and are still with the threads of gold Or
silver with which they are wrought.
The narrow soutache braids are most
often seen in made-up.designs like those
already mentioned, with lengthwise
rows placed on velvet or cloth, and
finished on the lower edge with anar-
row bunchy fringe Of the ravelcd braid.
The rich fringes shown forvelvet cloaks
and for small laantlcs are partly Of jet
and partly of chenille, and are very
full and fluffy, though usually some
rows OF the sleek mouse-tad chenille
are added. Wool gimps with frise or
curleu surfaces are also stylish trim
mings for wool dresses.-Harper's

CHAPTER II.

When Nh Orde really did return,
then, Misc Leone accorded him q jeal-
ously-cool reception, vastly amusing to
those accustomed to her natural warm
hearted frankness; but, fully occupied
in attention to his %fancee, the gentle
man appeared perfectly callous to this
u%noracious treatment. So, percelvlng,
to her amazement, that she was reced-
