A FAMOUS DINNER.

new the Fame OF q Great Artists Enter
taInment Spread Over Europe.
Many tales, were told of Madame LIE
Brun S extravaganza; but her own ac-
count OF an entertainment which she
gave, ana which was subject of end
less remark, showed how little she mer-
tied censrre in that instance, at least.
She relates that she had invited num-
Der of friends for an evening to listen
to the reading of poet. In the after
noon, while her brother read to her an
account of an ancient Grecian dinner,
which even gave the rules for cooking.
M,dame LIE Brun determined upon, inn
browsing Greek supper for her guests.
Sine first instructed her cook as to the
nreparation of the food, and then bor-
rowed from q dealer, whom she knew,
some cups, vases and lamps, and ar
ranged her studio with the effect which
an artist knows how to make.
Among her guests were several beau
tiful women, and they all wore cos
TUNES as much like the old Greek cos
tunes as was possible in the short time
for preparation. Madame lie Brun
wore the white blouse in which she
always painted, and added veil and
crown of flowers. Her little daughter
and another child were dressed as pages.
and carried antique vases. A canopy
was hung above the table, and the
guests were placed in picturesque atti-
tudes, and the whole effect was such
that when the later corners reached
the door of the supper-room they
had a delightful surprise. 1t was as il
thew had been transported 10 announcer
age and cline; Greek song was
c6anted to the music of the Tyre; and
when honey, grapes and other dishes
were served after the Greek manner.
the enchantment was complete;
member of the company reclted odes
from q Greek poet of ancient times,
and all passed off delightfully."-.
The fame of this novel affair spread
all. over Paris, and its magnificence
and its cost were said To be marvellous
Some of the court ladies asked MADAME
LIE Brun TO repeat it, but she refused
and they were disturbed by It, The

novel combination is that of oAidiZed
silver with Jet beads, leaves or antique
beads OF the silver being set IN the
midst of let beads of different sizes,
some fine and some seed like, others
large and flat as nail heads, and many
cut to drOop in flower shapes, or Ike
bangles, sequins, etc. As jet IS to BE-
used on colored dresses, it Is found
combined with colOred beads, especially
with girnets and with finely cut steel
beads. Another novel way of introduce
ing little color amid jets IS that of
adding clusters of real seeds, such IS
linseed and the seeds OF the hr-tree.
Cashmere colors in single ornaments
and In galloons are shown IN the small
est fine beads like mosaic bits. The
rosary carved beads are now most seen
in brown shades, and are very effective
in the new leather trimmings that are
galloons made of narrow leather strips
braided together and dotted with these
beads. There are also undressed kids
of natural beige shades, cut in very fine
strips, and made up in balls, fringes
and galloons with wood beads and also
with glass. Steel-colored glass beads
and other eolored crystal beads are
effective trimmings and are to be used
alike on bonnets and on dresses. Paris
iennes consider Jet trimmings as APP
propriate for colored wool dresses as
Americans do for their best black silks,
and use them on bronze. brown or blue
woolens, Grenadines or fine nets with
fine Jet beads in the meshes or in "all-
over" designs, are again seen among
the newest goods. Jet trimmings o.
long slender tassels promise 70 De re-

Home Dress-Making.

As it is sometimes difficult to procure
the services of dress-maker, l wish to
give directions by which almost any
woman can fit herself, if she has a we'll
fitting Though worn-out) dress waist.
Rip the lining from the waist and
press half the parts, being careful not
to stretch them out of shape. Double
the new waist lining and basic the ironed
pieces smoothly over it. Remove the
thread from the sewing-machine and
perforate the new lining exactly through
the stitches of the old. In this way the
seams can not be otherwise than true,
and the new dress will be found salts
factory in fit. | take it for granted that
any one who may try this, understands
how to haste the outside material on to
the lining. If one has not sufficient
confidence to do this, the above direc-
tons will certainly be found useful for
underwaists, which many women do not
undertake to cut, deenling it as difficult
a task as dress-making,-:LdIlia Mayne,

INDIAN FILE,
An Asiatic Popularity Based Upon o
Strong Feeling of Caste.


Most readers are doubtless aware of
the fact that when Indians are travelling
together they never walk or ride two
or more abreast, but follow one another
in single file. 1t has been thought by
some that this practice resulted from
the want of roads in the countries Of
savages, compelling them to make their
way through woods and around rocks
by narrow paths.
Ii this were the real reason for the
practice, then we should expect to find
tribes who live in open countries trav-
cling in company as do whites. This is
not the case. The Indians of the Plains
go in single file on the march like the
natives OF wooded countries.
The true reason for journeying, as the
Indians do, in single file seems to be a
feeling of caste, which it is not easy for
Europeans and their descendants to I'M
derstand. This feeling is at the bottom
of other customs of the Indians. 1t has
made their women slaves, and rendered
the men silent and unsOcial.
This peculiarly is Asiatic. How it
has warped and distigured Hindoo life
is well known. Home is scarcely pos
sible where it prevails. To the women
and children domestic life is bondage.
1t is narrow and selfish to the men, The
women of Chinese household are
never seen upon the street. The child
rem never accompany their father in
public, but follow him at a respectful
distance, in single file, and in the order
of their ages.
1t is said that the Mohammedan hus-
band does not like to have any one see
him walking with his own wife. The
children, too, look upon their father
as being far superior to themselves.
The Turkish parent walks first along the
road, the children next, some fifty yards
behind their father. Last comes the
wife, alone and neglected. She is re-
signed to her lot-her mother was
slave before her, and she will remain
one till death dissolyes the marriage-tie.
The Indian shows an Asiatic origin
more in his daily walk than in any
other way. Prejudice of caste stands
directly in the way of improvement.
Should he rise superior to this, and
make his home the center of his affec-
tons and his thoughts, his descendants
will not be seen travelling in Indian file.

LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLES.

A Reliable Guide for Sufferers from This
Abominable Affection.
From the great amount OF Whlstl1ns
done by the engines which do the switch
ing on the railroads of this city, and the
tug-boats that traverse the dirty waters
of the Chicago river, we are led to be-
ieve that they organized union, and
are about to strike for more steam IN
order to make more noise in the world
1t seems that some of them have already
agitated the movement, and have begun
to test their whistling powers. IWen-
ty-eight whistles in rapid succession
mean ''back up;'' thirty-seven whistles,
prolonged and long drawn, mean "go-
ahead;' tifty-nine whistles, striking b
fat and Asia Minor, indicate "a SWITCH"
sixteen whistles mean ''down brakes;'
forty-nine whistles, of melancholy
character, mean 'scow on the track
sixty-two whistles mean dinner" one
hundred whistles mean supper" thlr-
teen whistles mean ''up brakes" when
approaching crossing seventy-thrree
shrill whistles are given, and with this
the engineer is supposed to squirt water
like the deuce and to ring his bell with
great vehemence.-National Weekly.

COMFORTABLE SEATS.
Why Experienced Travellers Prefer the
Middle Seats in Car.

why Experienced Travellers Prefer the
Middle Seats in a Car.
A very common theme of converse
ton among travellers is the question of
whether or not car rides easier in the
middle than above the trucks. One of
our railroad contemporaries some time
ago published an article on the subject,
and took the ground that there could be
no difference, unless the sills and franz
ing of a car yielded like the blackboard
of a wagon. There is certainly no yield
to car sills and framing; yet every old
traveller avoids the seats, and especially
the sleeping berths, above the trucks,
and old travellers generally know what
they are doing. If the party who in
sisted that there could be no difference
in the motion in different parts Of the
same car had ever crossed the stormy
ocean in moderately long steamer he
might have received some enlightment,
especially if sea-sickness urged him to
find the point of least motion. 1t is
well-known that there is less motion
amidships than there is at the stem or
stern, and less motion at the bottom of
the vessel than there is on deck. A car
acts in similar way. Any thing defec-
tive about the track jerks the wheels,
which transmit the irregular motion to
the truck, and that in turn to the body
Of the coach.-RailaUay World.

Sho- ader-Kerchiefs-A Substitute for ths
Hubbard Gown-French Bonnets.
Very large kerchiefs for the shoulders,
made of silk muslin bordered with
Spanish or Newport lace, and painted
in each corner of the broad hens with
trails of delicate flowers infwater colors,
are worn this summer over the pretty
gowns of pink batiste, Watteau-bro-
caded French muslin, and organdie
made with pointed waist and jaunty
milkmaid tunic. The points of the kerr
chief meet below the waist line, and
are held by long jewel-headed pin,
which also invariably pnions a cluster
of natural flowers, the folds of the kerr
chief being laid flat across the chest IN
surplice fashion, Ia poysanne. An
other quaint and graceful shoulder
draping is made of pcach-colored Vic
toria silk Two long wide scarfs of the
silk are brought from under large
Charles TX. collar, which is open i'll
front to show bit of the throat. The
collar is edged with small beads, and
the scarfs are feathcr-sttcheG with silk;
they tie at the belt, and the knot is held
with two slender silver pins.
The Hubbard gown proper is no
more. We associate it with a balloon
that had a number of tucks upon its
rotundity by way of decoration, and an
entire absence of the dignity and ele-
gance which characterize later improve
ments of that primitive style. True it
is, that many fashionable gowns have
no drapery, and fall in straight lines
from the waist to feet, but as rule, the
materials used for these are of rich and
handsome quality This gives sub
stance to the skirt; what is arranged in
kits or otherwise, is left to fall in natur-
al folds The foundation skirt, unlike
that of Hubbard, which had none, il
gored and drawn in by tapes to produce
a narrow skirt for the kits to rest upon.
and at the extreme back it is necessary
to put into the band every inch of mate
rial that it is possible to adjust, in order
to give the extremely full effect that is
now so fashionable.

spired men of the same temperament to
write this book it might have been monot-
onous; but David and Isaiah, and Peter
and Job, and Ezekial, and John were men
of different temperaments, and so, when
God inspired them to write, they wrote in
their own style.
God prepared the book for all classes Of
people. For instance, little children
would read the Bible, and God knew that;
SO he allows Matthew and Luke to write
sweet stories about Christ with the doctors
Of the law, and Christ at the we'll, and
Christ at the cross, so that any little child
can understand them. Then God knew
that the aged people would want to read
the book, so he allowed Solomon to com.
pact a world of wisdom in that book of
Proverbs. God knew that the historian
would want to read it, and SO he allows
Moses to give the plain statement Of the
Pentateuch. God knew that to picture the
heavens as curtain, and Isaiah the
mountains as weighed in balance, and
the waters as held in the hollow of the
omnipotent hand; and God touched David
until in the latter part of the Psalms, he
gathers great choir, standing in galleries
above each other-beasts and men
in the arst gallery; aboye them, hills and
mountains; above them, FIRE and hail and
tempest; above them, sun and moon and
stars Of light; and on the highest gallery
