A Rich Woman's Toilet.

Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts was, as a mat
ter of fact, "a thing of beauty" mt the White
House recently. Her toilet was magnificent.
1t consisted of white tulle beaded with sill
Yer made over white satin. The low-neck
waist of silver brocade. Under the filmy
tulle in the front breadth were three vines of
green leaves. Around the bottom of the
entire skirt was a full ruching of beaded
tulle caught here and there with sprays of
white flowers. Across the front of the
waist from the shoulder was spray of
green leaves, on which were fastened Mt in
tervals superb diamonds. Around her neck
she wore five strings of fine pearls, and be-
low them a necklace of solitaire diamonds
with pendant of the same gems. The
ornaments in her hair, her bracelets and
earrings, were all of superb diamonds.

Stained Glass windows.

Do you want a stained glass window some
where in your house; in the hall door, OF
the transom over the dining room door that
leads into the yard or side porch, or in the
upper sash of the back parlor window?
OF course your beauty loving scul Graves
just such an establishment, but they cost
too much money TO be INDUCED in just al
present. But if you are sufficiently artistic
to really desire it, we are safe in telling you
that you are sufficiently artistic to make one
for yourself at comparatively little outlay of
money and some patience.
Perhaps the use of the patent glacier win
dow decorations will be generally accepted
as requiring the least time and patience TO
obtain this desired end. These decorations
can now be obtained at almost all house
decorators They come in designs of heads
of knights in armor and saints, in fruit and
floral designs, and i'll geometric and flowing
patterns, and they are capable of number
less combinations.
These decorations are very easily applied,
the perfectly clean glass is simply moist
ened with damp sponge and the decora-
tons are smoothly put on. They are war
rented not to crack, curl up, or TO be af-
fected by heat or moisture.
This is one way that with moderate cost
and very little trouble you may have pref
ty window.
For some time in England and very
short time here, ladies of artistic inclina-
tons have been doing what they call silcine.
Silicine is new preparation which pos
sesses the quality of making paints adhere
firmly to smooth surfaces and also imparts
peculiar brilliancy of finish.
Ii is indispensable in the work. conse-
quently for lack of something better the art
itself has received its name.
In this work a single sheet of glass is
water-color drawing, the design being
sketched in and the colors laid on.
The size of the window frame is taken,
and sheet of ordinary or plate glass OBJ
tanned of the same dimensions this should
be washed over with silicine. The outlines
of the design should first be drawn on paper
and laid on a smooth surface, with the
sheet of glass over it; these outlines can
thus be traced on the glass in ink. "a little
ox-gall added to il will make the ink flow
freely.) This completed, the colors are
applied according to taste, or the picture
copied, If the latter is used.
The colors must be specially prepared
with silicine, which renders them perma-
nent, and they are themselves different from
ordinary ones and should not be mixed with
Inenl. iHcy are vi tIdnSlucent ana mlN
freely together Over-painting with the
same color may be resorted to and high
lights obtained by the aid of penknife.
This method does away with all glass;
cutting and firing, and the leads may be
securely applied in the same manner as the
paint, and they be further improved by a
little gilt or silver paint.
OF course in this work, where n single
piece of glass is used, leads are not neces-
sary, but their use adds TO the effect of the
work.
When the painting is finished thin pieces

AN immense land bequest was recent
ly made By San Franciscan. The
late James Irvine left to his only son,
among other property, 1900 acres OF
land in one body in Los Angeles Coun-
ty. This large domain Mr.. Irvine
bought jointly with another man in
1857, paying at the rate of 37i cents
per acre. In 1875 Mr.. Irvine Dough.
out his partner for $250,000. He has
since been offered 81, 900, 600 cash for
the property. There is a valley OF
20, acres in the tract worth 800 an
acre, or s., 200, 900 for the valley. Some
small farms have been carved from this
portion and sold at this figure. On the
tract is a coal mine, which is yielding
an unfailing supply of coal of good
quality for locomotive purposes, and is
under lease to representatives of the
Southern Pacific Company. There are
between 5000 and 10000 sheep and
several thousand cattle upon this land.
The actual cash value of the whole
tract is, at fair estimate, about
100000.

The Girls All i'm Red.

Every girl and woman is now wearing
red in some way or other" says n New
York modiste. "A short time ago it was all
yellow, but now you don't see any yellow
at all. The red started in with bow in the
hats or bonnets, then the hats became all
red, trimmed with black silk cord. Then
the craze for red extended to gowns. The
street costume, of red sack trimmed with
black silk cord, a very military looking
coat. is all the style, and the more military
the better. For the opera red gowns are
quite proper. Everything is red, red gowns,
red slippers, red feathers, red from head to
foot. Most of the red dresses are cut very
low and trimmed with white lace. A cos
tune that caused great sensation was
worn by young lady Mt the opera recently.
One-haif her waist was red silk and one
half white lace, the line of separation run
ming from the left shoulder obliquely across
her waist to right side of belt. 1t looked as
if loose red waist had slipped far down
over the right shoulder"

Agreements Between Husband and Wife,.

This much mooted question has just been
considered by the Massachusetts Supreme
Judicial Court, in the case of Kniel versus
Egleston, the court holding that personal
contracts between husband and wife are
absolutely void, and the fact that the wife
survives the husband will not make that a
good contract which was originally null
lily. While by statute the wife may make
contracts in the same manner as if she were
sole, no authority has been given by which
husband and wife may make contracts each
with the other. Their legal incapacity thus
to contract remains as at common law. AT
law it has been repeatedly decided in this
commonwealth, says the court, that a
promissory note or any other personal con-
tract between the husband and wife is abso-
lutely void. A contract for payment of
money by the husband with the wife is n
nullity, and his retention of the money is
not a conversion. Even when the wife
transferred a promissory note to third
person, which had been made to her by her
husband, so that mere disability to sue,
arising out of the marital relation, was re-
moved, such person could not maintain the
action. In the case at the bar the fact that
the wife survived the husband would not
make that good contract which was orig
inally a nulity"

The official directory of the Catholic
church of the United States for the
year 1856 is full of interesting facts,
showing the wonderful growth of the
church throughout all the archdio-
ceses and dioceses of the country. The
archdiocese of Chicago, though the
youngest in the line of establishment,
is proven to be the most progressive of
the twelve. Up until the last year the
archdiocese OF New York was in the
lead in the number of churches. priests,
parochial schools, and religious insti-
tutions, but at present the Chicago
archdiocese leads in the number of
churches, and all of them have regu-
lar pastors. In proportion to the size
of the city and archdiocese of New
York and those of Chicago the latter
is found to be ahead in all other re-
spects. The archdiocese Of New York
is comprised of the city of New York,
w tobShCobOlg Il uJiluuls DubIutoS, VI
ster, Sullivan, Orange, Rock.and,
and Richmond Counties. The arch
diocese of Chicago is composed of the
city of Chicago, and that part of Illi-
nois north of the south line of White
sides, Lee, De Kalb, Grundy and Kan
kakee Counties. New York archdio-
eese has l76 churches, 402 priests, and
1922 children attending parochial
schools. The Catholic population is
estimated at 100000. Chicago arch
diocese has 1913 churches-twenty-two
more than New York, 30 priests, and
10000 children attending parochial
schools. The Catholic population is
425, 200.

WHEN the Rev. Phillips Brooks was
travelling in Norway, few years ago,
he happened, while passing through
one of the towns, to leave behind fine
opera glass which he had used for sew
eral years, and which bore upon it his
name and his former Philadelphia
street address, which was something
like 200i Chestnut street, but the name
of the city was not given. The glass
happened to fall into the hands of an
honest Norwegian, who decided to send
it back to its owner in America. He
accordingly packed it carefully, and

The Co-operatiye store.
From the r me tGa.) Courier.


DR.. w. +. Fenner is In charge OF the
wOrkingmen's cooperative store, which
was opened Saturday in the Masonic
Temple. The capital stock Of the concern
is 81, 500, in 800 shares OF So each. No one
man is allowed to own more than ten
shares. The store is to be run on ord-
nary business principles, aud the prOnts
which accrue are to be divided in
dividends, unless 1t is seen fit TO
create a surplus fund, or let part Of the
profits go to increase the capital stock.
Any member of the local assembly Of the
Knights of Labor may be a stOckhoider,
but from what can be gathered, the store
is owned by individual stockholders, and
has no connection with the knights OF
Labor other than the fact that its stock
holders are all Knights. Stockholders
are allo wed to make accounts from one
saturday night TO another to an amount
not exceeding certain per cent. Of their
stock. If we are correctly informed the
limit Of credit is 30 per cent. on the
amount OF stock held.
Cooperation is something compare
lively new and untried in this country.
In other countries, notably En gland and
France, cooperation has advanced from
the experimental stage to that Of we'll
developed and successful system. From
beginning in a small way with retail
stores it has developed the strength TO
handle, with great success, mammoth
wholesale concerns. OF late this subject
has occupied the minds OF some OF the
leading economists Of this country, and
there is little doubt that out of the
crude experiments OF to-day will
he gradually evolved systems equal,
II not superior, To those OF older countries
1t is, in its present form, nothing more
than the principle of stock companies ap-
piled, by means OF small shares, to the
wants and possibilities OF workingmen.
OF course, where there il no charter there
IS greater responsibility.
