Amusement of the Best Families.
well, sir, l was never quite SO cold in

up town. l called ct the fashionable hour.
I o'clock. One Of the girls let me in, shook
hands, said she was glad to see me, and
asked me to step into the back parlor. In
a few mirits the hull four of the girls wauz
down there making it pleasant for me. They
locked uncommonly nice, hayin' red and
blue. and yellow ribbons in their hair, but l
hadn't been talkin' to 'em three minutes be-
fore one of EN- suddenly yelled in a loud
voice:
"'0ne-two-three- tourr

This here is kind of q new deal. But I'll
get on to it before long Once more | be-

for about an hour. Every time | spoke one
Of them would yell, 'One-two-three-
four! and then they'd all litter till they
couldn't get their breath, Well durin' the
whole time this went on until l arose to go.
One of the girls asked me if had a mono

cloth. with very slight drAperies and are
trimmed with fur or with the long-ieeced
plush that initiates fur.
The Llain lady's cloth is made with Q
housemsid skirt thas has tgcks three inches
vide from hips down al around TO within
ten inches of the foot where il u bordered
either with messy plush or else with beaver
or sealskin fur.
The basque i short and round q the hips,
and has 9 broad band Of fur around 1t also
on the collar and sleeves
yelyeteen is also used with excellent et-
feet for young girls skating suits. For IN
stance, the plain gored skirt of dark red
yelyeteen has six rows of black Hercules
braid around it. This braid is an inch and
a fourth vide, and OF its upper edge Is a
curled row Of narrower braid.
The over.dress is a long undraped gar
ment with q black Astrskan vest in a single
niece known as the Breton nest, and there
is a small made-up fur covered head OF the
animal placed each side Of the back, where
The fulness Of the back is adSed to the waist.

ment.

design.

HARDsRIPs Of BOSTON MARINERS,

TIE vicisSitudes Of seafaring life are illus,
mated in the voyage Of the barque Nereid,
;Cund for Boston. and anchored of. Sandy
Hook, two hundred days from Singapore,
shor, Of provisions. The vessel sailed from
New York, June l9, 1888, with a cargo Of
oil for the East Indies, aud arrived at
Tiilatiap, on the south tide Of Java, Decem.
Der ], 1853, shortly after the great earth
cuskewhich caused such destruction through
out the island. Long before making land
the vessel sailed through miles Of floating
pumice sent up from the island by the earth
quake. The Nereid wa the first American
vessel ever in that port. and the facilities for
dlschsrging cargo were Of the most primitive
nature. While in port, the captain aud
every man on board were stricken down
with the Java fever, Of which, in three
months, no less than IS, 900 are said to have
died in that part Of the island. With the
aid of a native pilot and two men, the
vessel was worked around the island
to Rembang, q voyage Of ten days, the
sails having first been set and the an
chors hove up by the natives at Tjilatjap.
At Rembang a portion Of the cargo was
landed, and the vessel sailed for the nearby
port of Sourabay, where hospital accommO.
cations could be secured. Upon arrival at
this port, the captain was entirely disabled
and unconscious when the vessel anchored.
The United States consul sent all the crew
to the hospital, and the captain, bySteamer,
TO Singapore. A foreign captain and crew
were engaged to sail the vessel to that port
where she arrived March %, 1884. When
the captain had recovered from his sickness
he proceeded 10 Peuang on the LIST of July,
touching at st. Helena, November !. for re-
pairs and supplies, arriving at Sandy Hook,
January 80. The vessel IS owned princi-
pally in East Boston, and is commanded by
Captain George Nickerson, Of Duxbury.-

THE WIDEST OF LEGENDS.

~ Ire Yenr RyNRA.

G. enuings From the Maze of Hindoo My
thoIogy for Modern Readers.
Al TIE Year RyNRd.
Of the Hindoo legends Of the most Strik-
ne feature is their Wildness. Lal Benarl's
,sles are wilder than the widest bits of the
Arabian Nights" A young man puts an
ecg of the ~toontoonaia bird into q cup
heard, and oct Of it comes q bird that grows
Tito the loveliest girl the world ever saw.
The mannik stone in sone snakes heads
is worth the wealth of seven kings.
In a certain city an elephant is king
maker; but the king OF his choice only reigns
A day, for out Of the queens mouth comes
athread- like snake, which Stays him in the
bridal chamber.
A ~long-lost son, who had fallen in love
With his mother, and has mounted the cow
bouse roof that he may break in and carry
her eff, happily hears his iEe'3 story from
two calves that are quietly discussing him
below.
Ghosts haunt peepul trees, and are as
tricky as mediums at a seauce. A wife
gcin4 out Of doors on q dark night acciden'
tally knocks up against q Sankchinni, white
lady ghost, that sat on q low branch. The
~revepgeful creature at once took her by the
| throat, thrust her into q hole in the tree and
vent in taking her shape so completely that
| he mother-in-law, that universal inmate OF
| the Hindu hut, was deceived. The only
difference was that whereas the wife had
been weak and lsnguid the ghost was brisk
and active. "She has turned over a new
leaf; so much the better" said the mother
in law when the errands and the cooking
we're done in next to no time.
But one day the old woman caught sight
Of the ghost fetching something from the
next room, ghost-fashIon, by stretching out
a long srm-for ghosts can stretch out a
long arm-for ghosts can stretch their limbs
a great way, though not as far as Rakshasis
can. She said nothing, but told her son
and they watched. and before long they saw
the kitchen hearth ablaze, though they
knew there was no FIRE in the house.
Looking through a chink they saw that
| the wife had thrust her foot into the oven,
and that it was burning like a bit Of wood
She's a ghost they whispered, as they
went for the DINA, who tested her by burning
,urmeric under her nose. She proved hex
ghosiship by screaming, and was then beaten
with slippers till she confessed and showed
where the real wife was, aud was again
beaten until she promised never to do the
family any further harm.
The'poor wife must have been a bad bar
gain after the active ghost, for she was al
most dead aud very slowly got back to her
usual weak health.

him utter a cross or hasty word. He had

The ARIsTocRAT Of DOCS.

The poodle still holds his place in the
fancy Of London ladies'.
He is to be seen walking out in crowded
~tLorOughfares with his master or mistress,
often decorated with q gold or silver bangle
on one front paw, or a bow Of ribbon cor,
responding with the color of his mistress
costume, tied among Its locks; so its re-
production gold and paste is worn among
lace and ribbon as q fashion of the day.
As a letter.weight the poodle also figures
in carved ebony, and is to oe seen painted
on fans and the covers OF blotting books.
The absurdity Of the craze is reached in
having the name Of ones pet dog engraved
on a miniature card, aud leave it at an init
mate friends hoase with ones own.
The cards are q little over an inch long
and th~ree-quarters of an inch broad, and
are perfectly engraved with Miss Belinda

Monarch St Bernard" and so on.

AFTERNOON RECEPTION DRESSES.

In the present arrangement Of social st-
fairs, receptions almost always occur IN the
afternoon, and consequently before the
usual dinner hour Of those who live in the
cities.
Reception dresses may. however, be worn
al such dinners as are not Of the most for
nal order, and for very ceremonious visit
ing and at church weddings when there Is no
after dinner or reception.
Usually q reception dress is Of walking
length, although a demi-trsin is sometimes
preferred, and is always in good taste for
elderly mstrons.
Demrtrsius are but narrowly trimmed, if
at all. II the fabric is rich and heavy, q
pleating of silk or satin set underneath snd
protected by q full plating Of lace bordered
4 usIin is considered q stylish flush.
The silk or satin may be in soft contrast
With The shade Of the skirt goods or 1t may
By exactly ike it in color.
\ general liking for vest fronts Of con
uasling goods prevails, and indeed, a vest
eject OF other material is apt to be more be-
coming to most ladies han when the bodice
ia totally unlike the remainder of the toilet.
The largest liberty prevails, however, in the
union of hues and fabrics.
For receptions and church weddings, and
also for formal visiting, velvets OF all winter
colors and in many qualities lead the list of
fashionable materials.
Plain yelyets are made up alone, but the
brocaded and fancy varieties are usually
associated with more flexible textures.
This seasons velyets suit every taste.
They are seen with a short plain pile, with
Tie plain pile Of superior richness, and With
very unique and graceful patterns. Frieze
or uncut velvet figures are wrought upon a
ground covered by a cut pile. and again
both the frieze and the Gu! pile are combined
with superb effect upon a satin backed
