DOUBLE LACE CLOTHS.

A novel fabric invented to please the
prevailing taste for lace goods is a warm
wool cloth with its surface covered all
over with netting in web-like lace pat
terms.
Guipeere designs in intricate patterns
show the perfection of weaving when
thrown in light threads of one or two
colors on a cloth back of some bright
contrasting color, that shows through the
netting, such as black on crimson, or
grey on blue, or brown on blue.
Then there are stripes Of this lace-work
alternating with stripes of wool to form
part of the dress in combination with
the smaller figured lace cloth.

sAsHES.
Wide sashes with narrower hat scarfs
to match are imported in wool goods, in
MORE, faille, satin, and velvet, with wide
striped or lowered designs across the
ends, and plain color for the main part
Of the sash.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1885-09-05

Plain velvets are so largely imported
that of themselves they would constitute
"velvet season, but to these are add
ed striped and figured velvets, and the
beaded and embroidered velvets.
The shaded pushes are shown in brown
and gray tints, some of which are called
tiger pushes, and others merely ombre
but these are shaded in stripes or else in
close patterns.

Hold Fast to ,hs, which is Good.

The afflicted are too apt to try all sorts of patent "nostrums for the various aches and ails that afflict mankind, to the loss of valuable time as well as money. To all to whom these remedies apply we confidently recommend those old stand ard preparations-Mans6eld's "Magic Arnica Liniment and their celebrated (" La Creole Hair Restorer." Both of these preparations have been manufac- tured by the present proprietor for nearly half century and there is scarcely a family in the South that has not used with satisfaction one or the other of them. Indeed. they are household words in many parts of the South where they have driven all other remedies of like nature entirely out of the market. If you need first-class lniment or perfect Hair in- vigorator and restorer you can not do better than to purchase these matchless compounds. They are made by staunch and conscientious house, that always rely upon merit to push their goods and keep them before the public. These are South ern made remedies and are always kept up to the highest standard of strength and excellence. Try them-they are not "nostrums," but are perfect preparations made from 6rst-class prescriptions that have been tried and we'll tested for fifty years.

Average People.

Kate Gannett Wells, in About People. "I
 Average people are the ballast of the world. Notwithstanding their usefulness how few people are wiling to be ranked as average How many secretly feel that they are beyond the limit of that epithet, and that their acquaintances are just below itl Those who think that they have escaped the boundary line and are chased with the remarkable people indulge in perpetual mirage ot thought, which, to themselves, inverts their hulk of commonplaceness into mast-heads of prominence. We look al them through their self-imposed atmos. phere and believe that they are above water-line but the air changes, and the relative proportion of their attributes is plainly visible Insigni6cance is never greater than when it thinks it is just above the average. Endeavoring to avoid it's limitations it wraps itself in the restlessness which it supposes is the nec- essary malady of growth. It hugs its i'm. agined headaches and heartaches, and believes that it is perpetually suffering from an access of creative thought, ol original deed, which, always coming, never appears. Some men and women are ever on an uneven race for wealth and ambition; they are discontented with the restrictions of home and hu- mility they speak with pathos of their unfulflled aspirations, of their weary, large-eyed gaze at society, of the hollow. ness of life, of the solace in "interior views" of the comfort in keeping thought diaries and in interchange of misty quo- tations with deep natures searching for truth. They try to do and to be more than their mental and physical limita- tions allow. The women want some lof- tier mission than housework the men something more than clerkships. So many win the public school diplomas that they are sure they can also succeed in the struggle for profession, or for one of the higher avenues Unemployment. A failure is attributed to any other cause rather than to mistaken self estimate. This desire for advancement, irrespect- i've of personal qualifications, is the req son for the increasing influx of restless ness among so many persons.

How to Write Love Letters.
iLondon Worlc

Prudence is rarely thought of Dscre- present. Vows are made which in calmer moments are regretted, and promises are passed which unhappily, though knots tied with the pen, cannot be unloosed with the teeth. It is just such letters as these which arc kept, sold, and in time printed. For anything they contain out of the beaten run of modish sentiments and superficial philosophy, the epistles of the Abelards and the Heloises, of the Srephons and the Chloes, the Clarissas and even of the Marlows, might be pasted on a church-door. But of all letters, those most certain to be preserved are the ones which ought 10 be soonest destroyed. Long after the feelings which dictated them have vanished, the wronged wife or the injured mistress, will cherish those memorials of happier days, aad the archives of every und.hearted woman contain a bigger or smaller parcel of like impors. Even the angular figure in the bombazine," the "Autocrat discovered, cherished the memory of rustic l" Hi- ram." A man, or it may be wom an, writes love-letters long before he or she IS within measurable distance of fame, and then, after their names lend value to their chatter, some literary resurrectionist makes capital out of their foolishness. In later years they are more wary. But at that time Of life most peoples sweetheart ing has come to close. It is, indeed, open to debate whether any honorable man IS Justified in keeping private note. No one would think of going home and entering down in writing the conversation ot his friends on every theme that turns up, and then getting the byecis so drawn out witnessed. Yet letter is, ninety. nine cases out of hundred, simply the substi- ute for verbal query or reply. It is perhaps useless, knowing the twists of human contrariety, to recommend pru- dent persons to burn every document which IS of no business value, or which they do not wish to be published after thelr death or to pass into the strangers hands. Yet short of doing SO, the best plan would be, as some one has sup. gested, to write all such evanescing epistles as love-letters, and so forth, in sympathetic ink" The art of the chem ist has devised fluid which will pl eserve the characters traced with it lorg enough for all useful purposes. But just when they begin to be mischievous, when the b!ackmailer thinks his prey ripe for the bleeding, and the woman scorned begins 10 haunt the stairs in Chancery Lane, laden with the tell-tale package, all she will have for her proofs" will be a score or two of blank pages. Everything will have gone. Vows, promises, and poetry will have disappeared as completely as the passing madness which dictated them, and the calculating damsel will re- turn sadder but wiser woman than she set out.

. Powerful Letters.
lNew York Graphic. 1

The late Richard Grant White was ore. cocioas in his youth. When only nine years old he constructed an electrical ap. paratus that worked perfectly, and before going to college he had collected a valu- able cabinet of mineralogical specimens. He graduated from the University of New York at the age of seventeen. He then began the study of medicine but soon gave that up, not, however, until he had acquired valuable and extensive knowledge of the science. From medi- cine he went into law and was admitted to the bar when twenty-three years old At this time he wrote a sonnet. which was published anonymously. It was ex. tensively copied both in America and abroad, and the critics assigned a dis. tinguished authorship to it, some ascrib. ing 1t to Wordsworth. It was followed by several musical criticisms, which were so superior in style. that they attracted the attention of Henry l. Raymond. who at once offered MT. White an engaqe. ment as musical critic on the Coxyirr 0md ESQHfrer. Mir. White accepted the offer, but insisted upon writing anony- mously. Editor Raymond induced him to leave the study of the law and take up journalism. During the late war in this country he publish under the name of "A Yankee" " series of letters in a Len- don paper which attracted wide attention and were referred to in parliament. They contained large amount of information about American politics and proved a great support to the American minister. These letters were the chief cause of the recall of the correspondent of the London 1fnses, and his successor declared that they had been of more service to the Union cause than an additional army, as to them was owing the refusal of the British government to yield to the pro. posal of Louis Napoleon for a joint in tervention.

It is never we'll to use big words wher small ones will express the same mean ing. A lady who was making a call or some acquaintance observed that tn, furniture had been changed, and re marked to the lady:
 "You have bsen metamorphosed haven't you?s
 "Y-e-s," said the other, hesitatingly "You mean repapered, suppose |; il looks much better, doesn't it ?"
 Another lady was showing a visitor around her grounds, which were unde, the care of a landscape gardener, and she inquired of her friend how she liked the work.
 "Why, l think" she said, "that you like symmetry"
 Why" said the other, "we don't in. tend to bury any one here. There is a good cemetery quite near"

The Servian Violation Of Bulgarian
The Situation ~ Complicated and

Special Cable Dispatch to the EVENING STAR
LONDON, October 17.-London is once more in
great excitement after a month OF vepose. The
evening papers last night announced the out
break of hostilities by the Servians and the
violation OF the Bulgarian frontier. This is
now known to be premature, or in any case
there is only q technical violation. saw the
Bulgarian envoy again. He is now convinced
that there is an agreement between Greece and
Servia, as he supposed. Should Servia want
only to attack Bulgaria, there would be, he said,
lifelong feud, as no ground can be alleged for
SO doing. Perhaps, after all, Servia may still be
aiming at Turkey. 1t is useless to profess any
calculation of the situation as ii is to-day. The
special correspondents contradict themselves
and each other daily, and the newspapers are
clearly in the dark. Lord Salisbury is still
playing the sphynx. The foreign diplomats, a
number of whom have talked with here, have
no basis for their views but their own wishes.
II there can be said to be a general impression,
1T is that Turkey will take the field i'm response
to the invitation of the powers. Prince Alex
anders position is more critical than ever 1t
Is dlfflcut to see how he can escape being sacri-
Heed either to his countrymen or the powers.
The assertion is confidently made that there is
no possibility of a collision between Russia and
Austria whatever happens. But news like That
OF Alexanders private yacht conveying Rus
sian ammunition between REM and Rustchuk
points the other way. The Standard says: We
cannot attempt to conceal the tact that IL the
