As it is sometimes difficult to procure
the services of dress. maker, 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 haste the ironed
pieces smoothly over it. Remove the
thread from the sewing-machine and
pcrforate 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
I onfidence to do this, the above direc-
tons will certainly be found useful for
underwsists, which many women do not
undertake to cut, deeming it as difficult
a task rs dress-making.-LiAjan Mayne,

MAKING PRESENTS,

els there much doing in the way of
making prcsents?" was asked recently
by reporter of an uptown fancy sta.
toner, who conducts the gift bust
ness in all its branches. The reply was
partially in the negative, and yet he adj
mitted that there was something doing.
He then said:
''One of the peculiarities of the giving
of presents is the fact that very little
originality is exhibited on the part of the
givcr. Few ever consider the taste of
the receiver. and as gift horse should
never be examined in the mouth, the re-
cipient expresses his or her thanks for
the gift. and that is all there appears to
be in it. We scarcely ever receive an
order to get or make any thing that
displays originality on the part of the
purchaser. Extravaganza and show
is often more the ruling passion
than elegance and taste. Of course,
it would not be quite the thing to
ask a person to whom a present is
to be given what would be preferred.
But a person of tact would be able to
ascertain the wishes or tastes of the pro-
posed recipient without even giving
away the intention of making a pres
ent. Some effort might also be made
at originality to indicate the peculiari-
ties of the giver or receiver. This is
rarely done. Something is picked up
out of large stock of goods intended
as presents, without any reference to
that fact. Therefore, apart from the
intrinsic value, the recipient has no
special reason to care for the gift.
Take, for instance. the Christmas, St.
Valentines and Easter Day presents.
Very few choose the neat and elegan.
in preference to the snowy. Conse-
qucntiy, cards are generally .chosen
without any reference to either the
views of the giver or receiver. Often
the latter will send the same card to
some one else, and this may be re-
peated. Now. if presents were selected
with view to represent the special ma
ture of the giver or specimens of indi-
vidual handiwork, such as painting,
fancy needle-work, or other evidence OF
art or taste, the gift might be valued on
that account.-N Y. Mail and Express.

little house-keepcr? DO you suppose I
can bear to lose her when she has

gowns Of pink batiste, Wa.teau-bro-
caded French muslin, and organdie
made with pointed waist aid jaunty

chief meet below the waist iine. and
are held by a long jewelheaded pin.
which also invariably pinions q cluster
of natural flowers, the folds of the kerr
chief being laid fiat across the chest in
surplice fashion, la p0ysanne. An
other quaint and graceful shoulder
draping is made of peach-c0lOred Vic
toria silk. Two long wide scarfs of the
silk are brought from under a large
Charles TX. collar, which is open In
front to show hit of the throat. The
collar is edged with small beads. and
the scarfs are feather-stitched 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 q 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 ID
is, that many fashionable gowns have
no drapery, and fall in straight lines
from the waist to feet. but as a 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 q Hubbard, which had none, is
gOred and drawn in by tapes to produce
q 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.

very small he fell off a fence and broke
his nose. Later he was nearly drowned;
then his toes were crushed by the cars;
then he broke his nose again; then his
head was crushed between the bumpers

rink was opened he was the first to hurt
himself, breaking his arm.-M Y Ssa,
