Fashion Notes.

There are great many opinions as to
the best way OF making a skirt stand out at
the back. and Steels are tabooed. French
dressmakers are employing the double
mattresses cut into the waist, but standing
out square, and they are covered with
satin, so that the material, whatever the
skirt may be, does not adhere to it. The
same remarks apply to evening dresses, but
the measurements are different. A good
length would be 81 inches long at the back
and 46 in front. the front breadth in this
case also % inches, straight; as to width.
the front ii inches al the top and % at the
bottom the front cores 10 at the top and
Il at the bottom; the back at the TOP and
8 at the bottom In making up skirts. be
sure to have the lower part so lined Up that
it is stiff and firm there should always
be killing or plating quite at the edge.

If you wanta really useful washing dress.
not always in the washtub, choose a dark
blue linen; You can make livery simply at
home, with kits or box plaits from the
waist; short drapery in front, and full,
plain train plece at the hack, the bodice

the waist. One grand secret ii would seem
TO me, OF dress, Is trimness. With q general
pervading neatness in every detail,s there
is often better style than with rich mate

Linen collars of the all-round type are
being worn once more By English women !;

In recent number of lie Genie Girl DIR.
Hector George gives an account of the more
recent experiments with an apparatus. the
original example of which was first exhib-
tied With the chicken-hatcher at the Agri-
cultural Fair in Paris, in 1880. and which
has been in use since that time in the Ma
ternity Hospital, in Paris, with sincularly
good results. The construction is very
simple, the whole affair consisting simply
of double box placed on stand Two
panes of glass form the top of the upper
box, III which is placed the baby in its
cradle; and in the lower box is placed
vessel of hot water There are openings
between the upper and lower boxes, and
also in the bottom of the lower box and the
top Of the upper one. Air from the room
enters the lower opening, and is warmed
by contact with the hot-water reservoir.
and rises to the upper box, from which it
escapes through the opening in the top.
The child is thus constantly bathed in
warm, fresh, moist atmosphere
which is kept at a temperature
of $50 to 800 Fahrenheit, as shown by a
thermometer hung in the upper box, by
adding hot water to that in the reservoir.
Every two hours the child is taken out to
be nursed and changed, and then is re-
placed in its box. The influence of the
still, moist. warm atmosphere on feeble
infants seems to be very favorable, and the
apparatus is devoted, in the hospitals, to
encouraging the development of puny or
prematurely-born children The average
weight of healthy children, born at the
usual time, is said to be nine and one-half
pounds. Those that weigh less than five
pounds at birth are classed by themselves,
as feeble and unlikely to live, the mortality
in this class in maternity hospitals being
generally 65 or 66 per cent. With the help
of the baby incubator this percentage APP
pears to be reversed sixty-two out of
ninety-three prematurely- born children
brought up in it having passed the critical
period in safety.

band of lace is usually placed turning
down over it, the linen collar showing
above; the same at the wrist 1t is soft
and pretty, and takes from the masculine
aspect of the linen collar. French women
dress the throat in totally different fashion:
perhaps the climate has something to do
with it, for all the dainty laces and friIl-
ings hey affect remain fresh longer, or. at
all events, are never worn when they are
not perfectly clean. They rarely have any
thing light and high round the throat,
the collar of the dress turns down often in
two points in the front, and an opening of
the slightly V-shape. not at all large. is
frequently seen on the best dresses. French
women have completely mastered the sci
efce OF the laundry; and the hein-stitched.
lace-edged rutiies are constantly washed.
When collars and cuffs are worn, they are.
as rule, embroidered or printed in colors,
and are far better suited to French than to
English women. In many WAYS now
France is losing its sovereign SWAY in the
realm OF dress. American women come to
Paris, look round, and make up their
minds as to what is the best there and buy
in England. French women themselves
are extensive patrons of the English tailors
who come to Paris, but they do not recog-
nize British skill in other departments of
dress, unless it be materials, which they
sometimes buy in England Paris Letter

OLD-TIME ETIQUETTE IN VIRGINIA.
Queer vestiges of old-time etiquette still
finger in Virginia. 1t used to be, and in a
measure is still, considered the hight of
rudeness for one person in driving to pass
another person on the road. As a result the
slowest coach on the road could keep all
the others behind it-time and distance
We're relatively of no importance Even
now the people apologize when they pass
each other on the road 1t has also been
alleged that really highb bred Virginian
never so far forgets etiquette as to inquire
of a stranger where he was from, because
the stranger might be forced to acknowl-
edge that he was from some other State
than Virginia, and 1t was only charity to
spare him this Notifying admission 1t is
holly disputed point, and has been for
the last 200 years, whether guest spend
ing the night with his host should make
the move to go to bed or whether the host
should Boston Journal

EVENING soLaCE.

The human heart has hidden treasures
In secret kept, in silence sealed
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams. the pleas
ures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
And days may pass IN gay confusion,
And nights in rosy riot fly,
While lost in fane's or wealth's Illusion.
The memory of the past may die
But there are hours Of lonely musing,
such as in evening silence come
When, soft as birds their piuions closing
The hearts best feelings gather home.
Then in our souls there seems to languish
tender grief that is no woe
And thoughts that once wTung groans of anguish
Now cause but some mild tears to flow.
And feelings once as strong as passions,
Float softly back-a faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations.
The tale of others suffering seem
OH when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs il for that time TO be-
When, through the mist of years reeeding,
It's woes but live in revcryi
Aud it can dwell on moonlight glimmer,
On evening shade and loneliness;
And, while tie sky grows dim and DINNER
Feel no unfold and strange distress
Only deeper impulse given
By lonely hour and darkened room,
To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven.
Seeking life and world to come.

RESULTS OF ADYERTIsING.--It is difficult
to convince some business men that it pays
to advertise. They have tried it, they say,
and it did not pay them. These men expect
TOO much; they place an advertisement in
a journal for two or three insertions, and if
they do not get orders enough from its in
sertion to pay them profit on its cost they
arrive at the conclusion that it has not paid
them. They do not take into account the
indirect benefits that they may derive
without being able to trace them to their
source. The principle Of advertising is to
keep your name before the trade and to
call attention from time to time to the new
goods that you have for sale The liberal
advertiser is always live business man :;
customers know this, and naturally go
where they think the most exertion is be-
ing made tosell goods Furniture Worker.
