HOW TO DRESS.

HOW TO DRESS.
Stiff materials are less manageable and
graceful than soft ones.
One dull stuff and one glossy stuff unite
better than two glossy or two dull ones.
Colors near the face should be soft and
indescribable.
A woman to be well dressed and to look
her best must concentrate her efforts on tints
few and good.
Antique lace will last forever, remend
and reclean it as much as you please. Being
yellow instead of snow white it scarcely ever
shows dirt Modern lace, however good or
costly, soon wears out.
The worst extravaganza is to invest in
''shoddy" materials got up by unprincipled
traders to deceive the eye.
One or two really fine jewels are in far
better taste than Il quantity of mediocre
ones.
Experience shows that all dull, rich silks
wear greasy, that good satin outlasts three
silks, and three cheap satins, and that black
velvet lasts longer than colored.
A set of good fur is never any loss as it
can be cut, rejoined, dispersed, united, worn
on an evening dress, or a mantle, at will,
without harm.
A dress or jacket properly made and prop
erly fitted by good dressmaker, though
this costs more than one made by novice,
will look and hang we'll to the end, while
the other will not.
1t is Indispensable in buying dresses to re-
member what your wardrobe contains, as
two dresses can often be combined into one
nowadays If the colors are happily chosen,
which is great economy.
Ladies who study economy will never
adopt the extravagant in anything, for such
fashions never last long.
Women of taste are content with few
things-and those good-in lieu of guam
tity of cheap finery.
Never buy bonnet that will not 60 with
all your dresses and jackets likely to be re-
quired while the bonnet last-unless you
can afford to wear one to match each suit
Extravaganza in dress means not only
spending too much money on it, but also
the patronizing of foolish fashions devised
simply to waste material.
A dark thin stuff is infinitely cheaper
than the cheapest pale material, though its
original cost be double.
A purposeless chaos of millinery is not
beautiful from an artistic point of view,
and probably mischievous from sanitary
one.
True skill in making up materials con-
sists not only in fitting the dress, but in
giving to every morsel of stuff its due val

BIRDS Of PARADISE.

Mr.. Darwin has said: birds appear to
be the most aesthetic of all animals, ex-
cepting of course, man, and they have near
ly the same taste for the beautiful that we
have. This is shown by our enjoyment of
the singing of the birds, and by our wo-
men, both civilized and savage, decking
their heads with borrowed plumes and u.s.
ing gems which are hardly more brilliantly
colored than the naked skin and wattles of
certain Birds" With civilized people it is
the female who is elaborately ornamented,
most Gorgeous plumage, the most elegant
ear-tufts, the most brilliant wattles, the
most splendid top knots and even the
iris of the eyes is sometimes more highly
colored in the male than in the female.
The object of this is, without doubt, to at
tract the female. In other cases the male,
deprived of beautiful adornment is other
wise provided. He is, as rule, the sweet
est songster, and when he has neither vo-
cal powers or attractive plumage, he is pro-
vided with formidable weapons with which
to win his bride (or brides) from his an
tagonist. Thus the males of gallinaceous
birds are provided with spurs, and some
even have single and double sets of spurs
upon their wings, as is the case with the
palamedea.
Male birds of paradise are, without ques-
ton, the most highly favored, by way of
adornment, of all. The elongated and gold
en- orange plumes that spring from beneath
the wings of the paradisea apado (and which
is not the most beautiful of thespecies) when
vertically erected and made to vibrate, are
described as forming sort of halo, in the
centre of which the head 'looks like little
emerald sun, with its rays formed by the
two plumes." In another most beautiful
species the head is bald, and of rich cobalt
blue, crossed by several lines of black, vel
vety feathers. Many birds of elegant plum
age, such as egrets and herons, retain their
nuptial plumes only during the Summer !;
birds of paradise, the peacock and August
pheasant do not cast their plumes during
the Winter. Whether it is the result OF
their surprising beauty, or due to other
causes, cannot be said, but birds of paradise

at which it was returned prior to being
damaged and provides also for the refund
ing of portion of the taxes that have al
ready been paid on the property and thus
reduce in value from the assessment at the
time it was given in.
Mr.. Wilson said he opposed the bill be.
cause it Disseminated against other portions
of the State, but would support it if its pro-
visions were made to include all other coun-
ties in the State. Property in many OF the
other counties had shrunk in value on &C.
count of floods and other causes, and if 1t
was fair to give Charleston the benefit o1
such a law it was but justice to give all Sec
tions of the State the same showing. Mr..
Raysor opposed the motion to strike out, as
also did Mr.. s. P Hamilton and others.
Mr.. Wilson finally withdrew his motion in
order to offer an amendment making the
bill apply to all sections alike, and there
after offered such an amendment, which
was defeated. He then renewed his motion
to strike out the enacting clause, and upon
the passage of the bill an extended debate
took place. Mr.. A. F. O'Brien made feel
ing speech in opposition to the motion to
strike out, and Messrs. Dantzler, Rutland
and Douglas favored the motion, unless the
provisions of the bill were made to apply
alike to all sections. Mr.. Moses favored
the motion. Mr.. T. E. Miller opposed the
motion, and Mr.. Pope also made remarks
in opposition.
Mr.. Ficken said that the Charleston dele
CATION, through delicacy, had not intended
to discuss the bill, but at this stage of the
matter he desired to explain the objects OF
the bill. He did 50 in an impressive man.
ner, and was followed by Mr.. Brawley, who
was in the midst of a, forcible argument on
the measure when it was announced that
the Senate desired admittance to the House
for the purpose of going into Joint Assem-
bly, for the election of Superintendent OF
the Penitentiary and of three members OF
the Board of Directors of the Penitentiary.
Mr.. Brawley suspended, and the two houses
went, into Joint Assembly. When the
Joint Assembly dissolved, the House adj
journed to meet at 10 o'clock, A. NJ. on
Friday.
The consideration of the bill was resumed
at II o'clock on Friday, when the bill came
up for second reading, the pending quest
ion being a motion to strike out section 4,
which provides for rebate of the taxes on
damaged or destroyed houses proportionate
to the damage sustained. On reaching a
vote, the section was stricken out by vote
of 81 to 56, and the bill was then passed and
ordered to be engrossed for third reading.
