sAme piilng Of tulle on tulle It'll tulle is
lost IN tulle and all Ia a mszy mist Of
tulle Both take equal delight in spangles
and At times therefore az an extra effort
bespAuglsd grows that tulle. Again we
hnd tulles bestrewn with small single
artificial flowers and imported at the
moderate sum Of 1850, good for but one
wearing. The simmer Of silk or satin
through a yelling of floating tulle is
another element Of beauty and one
largely made use Of, but at the same time
the effect Of lightness ia impaired while Ia

chief point OF effect. The making OF the
corssge depends or should depend on the
degree OF beauty bestowed By nature on
the neck and arm. The unluoSy bSllt
girl must exhibit hers or loss her ealAry,
but strange 1t seems that the young lady
who should have marked from her box
the dismal result Of display OF bones,
should 60 and do likewise. Yet she often
does although II Is quite allowable in
her case to draw friendly veil over de

been not only much more becoming but
far more appropriate. The consequence
Of such negligence, seriously impairs the

tunity is given for showing them. Tulle
dresses have the low round neck, while
for heavier fabrics one rnRy also choose
the low round neck pointed back and
front, that with point in the back and
square front, or the square low neck with
narrow straps over the shoulder: more
Of . paralellogrsm than square since II
reaches from shoulder to shoulder
Sleeves are very short and made usually
Of the lace, tulle or Grape, which trims
plentifully the low bodice. With tbs
tulle dress the waist is round, but whert
the low round neck ia employed toi
heavier material, the waist Ia usually
sharp pointed back aud iron
with lsoing at the back. Tn

an example may be given of tulle wsis

JANUARY NOTES.
Vexed is the soul OF the professions
duster on New YEARS. Day. This pc
culiar parsonage is peculiar TO New York
and makes his or her living by gettin
ready Just 30 many fAshionsbly over
crowded parlors in such space Of tim,
The mildest form Of New Year entel
tAinment was cake and wine next /
the scale coffee, handed or poured frol
an urn by trained servant next th
oyster stewed or picked. Sandwich,
and crackers could be added, and housC
wives can note that our best holida
breads, cake and biscuit have been mad
from the Rumford yeast powder.
The regular dinner is hardly possibl
thing on New Years Day, where tn
ladies are in thepRrlor almost oous.a Zig
and families who receive, have usual
ont Of sight, cold meats with sccessori,
perhaps Of boiled potato or some simpl
vegetable, which brought in to order ma
be eaten hastily. Many New Year iuvi
