Anna l.. Dawes, in G00d H2aset6ep.
ing, has the following to say about the
arrangement Of chairs in u parlor:
where do people wish to sit down
when they make call? Near their
hostess What arrangement suits a
small company who might prove con
genial friends if they had any oppor-
tuniiy really TO discover each other?
Near together, not at points equally dis.

tions seem too frivolous for considera-
ton, but in fact they arise daily in null
titudes of homes. Chairs being to sit
in, 1t follows that the use for which the
room is intended is the first question to
be asked. The parlor which, in most
families, is the quiet corner where
guest may spend an uninterrupted halJ
hour during a social call, needs some
easy chairs, lest the wearicd visitor
never come again; but II needs still
more, light chairs and more than one
that can easily be moved about
Whether the chairs be cain seat rockers
or plush divans, their position cannot
readily be changed, while the light
chair, that can be taken in hand and
carried from one corner to the other,
will furnish the opportunity for socia-
bility two or three times in n single
call, perhaps. 1t must be chair that
can be carried; II Is not enough that IL
roll OH casters, for IL Is still clumsy and
heavy, and the effort necessary to alter
its position will often prevent the
change altogether This is not all the
battle, however. The original arrange.
ment of the furniture is like the dispo.
sition of troops. IL is here that the
hostess shows her knowledge of human
nature and her experience of society.
a clever woman, to whom the great
world was a second nature, once said
on this point that she always observed
how the chairs were left in drawing

ting, and put them in the same position
next time. This is the secret of success
with chairs. Dispose them so that
persons who fall into them shall sit
down in the places most natural and sat.
isfactory. Arrange group of chairs
near the door, where the casual caller
will drop into one and the hostess
into another and without realizing
the fact that they are sitting near to-
gcthcr, will yet be placed in the best
possible position for a little converse
ton If ii is large drawing-room CON
stantly used by number of people,
multiply these groups of seats, not in
ridiculous aesthetic situations, with the
sofas at right angles to the room, but
conveniently and naturally. Sit down
in the chairs, If necessary, and see in
what position you would like to find
your neighbor, If you remember that
the chairs are to sit in, not to look at,
not even TO give color, you will place
them as people will wish to find them,
and without knowing why, your draw
ing-room will often be full of people,
and its reputation will so abroad.

1t is said that in Paris reform dress as
ISOLATION has been organized, having for its
object the reintroduction Of velyets and
maDy-colored satins for evening wear for
men, There are those who predict that the
styles Of Louis XIV, If not indeed the
doublet and hose, viii be in quite general
wear in society in many of the principal
cities Of the world within the next decade
IL is hard to predict how soon such change
would be made by the men of New York
society, aud 1t is doubtful If even the bold
est would adopt this means of distinguish
ing themselves from walters, for whom, in
their conventional claw hammer coats, they
are so often mistaken, Oscar Wilde was
not able to induce Americans to take up
with velvet coats and small clothes, and
even though Parisians attempted to intro
duce gay colored yelyets and laces they will
have few followers, Such costumes would
certainly look well when worn at minuet
party, and II Is umOred that several minuet
clubs are being formed for winter amuse-
ment. Society has had so much of the
waltz that such a change would prove de-
sirable,-lN New York Telegram.

FACTS AND FANCTES.

A great many people firmly believe
that a good location is an absolute
requisite TO success in business, and
have supcrstitious dread of starting
where others have failed, either through
misfortune or incompetence. These
fancics are the veriest nonsense. From
our standpoint the only benefit to be
derived from good location is that it
may be within easy reach of the gen
eral public. Business wherever started,
If properly conducted, is bound to sue
coed. Such a business MAKES the
location; the location alone never yet
made the business. When we were
about to open at the n w. Cor. of 9TH
and ID SITS. number of otherwise
sensible men advised us not to touch
the place-it was an unlucky corner,
&C., &c. The advice was kindly meant,
and received in the spirit in which 1t
was offered, bnt we quoted their fears
on our account by informing them we
knew the causes of the failure of those
who had gone before us. THE PLACE
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
Wefiled the first and second floors of
the building with the best selected
stock of Clothing for Men and Boys
ever exhibited in the District of Co
lumbia We marked our Goods as low
as it was possible to sell them and live,
and the result is we are to-day doing
the largest business that was ever done
at the N. w. Cor. 7lh and d SITS. We
have had to replenish our stock again
and again, and to-day we opened fif-
teen cases of Mems and Boys Clothing
TO replace what we have sold within
the last ten days alone. Luck is the
towards shield; energy and attention
TO the wants of patrons are the beacon
lights for which every business man
who would be successful must steer.

FASHIONS IN FLoJVERs.
The Daisy Superseded by the Chrysan-
themum.

The Daisy Superseded by the Chrysan-
themum.
| should think that florists felt the
pulse of the times about as well as any
other class Of trades people, says a
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record, for people do not buy flowers
in very bad times, and the florist bust
ness has seldom looked as well as ii
does now Certainly such high prices
were never paid for flowers, and they
were never ordered in such quantities
1t is curious to notice the fashions in
flowers, by the way. Two or three
years ago the daisy was the fashion
able flower and country boys made
considerable money by gathering
DAISIES and selling them in New York,
The boys who sold them along the
streets asked about ten cents a bunch
for them. Then the florists took hold of
them and charged as much for them as
for rare plants. Now chrysanthcmums
are the fashionable flowers, and we
are to have an exhibition of them at the
rooms of the Horticultural Society
in few days In old times we only knew
one or two varieties OF the chrysanthc-
mum; but now that fashion has
made demand upon it there is
large variety of the plant in the
market. The Chinese and the
japanese chrysanthcmums are the
most in favor. The Chinese is a small
compact flower, while the japanese is
larger and less compact, and the most
effective of the two. One of the most
striking bouquets that | have seen for
a long time was made entirely of chrys-
anthemums. 1t included three differ
ent shades, from dark brown to light
brown, then orange yellow, shading
into a sunburst of bright yellow, the
whole tied with gold brown ribbon that,
when the light fell upon it, had all the
tints of the flowers / remember when
Ellen Terry was here she was more
pleased with bunch of chrysanthe-
NUNS that was thrown to her one
night than with all the baskets of roses
she had received. Sunhowers have
had their day; daisies are no longer the
fashion. Now, let us see what will
succeed the chrysanthcmum.
