not care to hem sheets or make dresses
on the piazza of a country house, or
even to undertake this heavy work in
town. Some work that may be carried
about and taken up at odd moments is
the most desirable. The devotee of
fancy work is always provided with a
pretty little bag or basket. The former
is generally preferred, as it can be hung
over the arm and carried about more
easily.
A silk handkerchief or square of
chintz makes pretty and serviceable
work-bag. All it needs is a running
string or ribbon.in circle of the square,
and this gathered leaves the four cor
nerS as an outer flap. A fringe of lace
and a bow of ribbon add to the beauty.
A little needle case, scissors, thimble,
thread and silk should be carried, be-
sides the regular work, as all four are
apt to come into service. Of course,
there are a hundred kinds of fancy
work; nay, one might multiply that
number by ten and not exceed the limit.
Netting is always considered elegant
employment, and a silken purse or 4
tobacco pouch will occupy some time
and repay the trouble of making. Then
there are pretty little scent bags made
cut of odds and ends of ribbon and filed
with soft cotton saturated with violet
Sachet powder. These are easily made
and may be kept for some OF the winter
fairs OF distributed among ones friends.
for their handkerchief cases or cOat-tail
pockets.
Pieces of pretty chintZ or silk may be
made into useful bags for stockings or
fine mending. If one cares only to GRO
chet, she can stock the house with nice
wash cloths, crocheted in plain long
OF she can use the same cotton and make
''catch alp bags to hang beside the
dressing table in the bedrooms, or make
faScinatOrS and hoods for the winter.
ANY long piece of work, such as max
ing a fancy silk quilt OF lace edging for
a set of underwear, is apt to become
tireSOme during summer: and unless
one is naturally industrious should not
be undertaken. Scrim Of fine quality
makes pretty toilet mats, cushions and
fancy aprons, and yard or two can be
worked into useful articles during a
summer,
One of the newest bits of fancy work
| is to applique chintZ flowers to plain
material for table and mantel covers.
| The flowers are cut out of the chintZ
and arranged artiStically Oh plain linen,
Canton flannel or other selected ma
terial, and then applique with fine
linen or wool of the ground color. In
this way some exquisite effects are Sc
| cured.
'Recollection pillows" are just now
in fashion, Pretty bits of silk are Sc
cured from all ones friends, the name
of the giver, place and date embroidered
on each, and all patched together to
form a pretty pillow. Young ladies
going away for the summer to any re-
sort could easily make some such me-
mento of the season. Bits of silk neck
and hat ribbons find appropriate place
! in these pillows, and sometimes the
entire back portion is made of single

Drawn From Experience.

There was a slight impediment in a
little Boston girls speech. and she had
been drilled out of all patience by
wel-intentioned teachers and friends.
When she received doll for birth
day present she was delighted to find
that by pulling out a green string a
very passabie mamma was produced.
But the papa" which followed the
twitching of white string was very i'm
perfect, and when the little mother dis
covered that her child had inherited
her own intirmity her heroic nature was
shown. She lost no time in putting to
account her own training, and pulling
repeatedly on the white string, with an
unfaltering hand, she said firmly !:
dolly, you must be trained till you
learn to say that palmer"

The Coming Great Snowman.

That small boy who has mania for
picking up things and labelling them and
putting them away in cupboard has
been at it again. The other day his
little sister ran piece of splinter so
deep into her hand that the family had
to send for the doctor to get it out The
operation was carried on with closed
doors so far as the children were con-
cerned, but they were all huddled just
outside listening at the keyhole. Pres
emily they heard somebody say:
THANK goodness. 1t is out at last!''
The young museum enthusiast opened
the door and rushed in.
Don't waste it! Don't waste it! Give
1t to me for my museum"
And it is now in his museum labeled

Baronne Adolphe de Rothschild re-
ceiyed at the entrance and presented
with a beautiful bouquet of roses. Her

lilac shot silk, very long, with row of
antique steel buttons. This opened over
a skirt of cream-colOred lampaS, bro
caded with large bouquets OF various
colOred flowers: pale green tulle bonnet,
with green leaves and flowers.
The general effect of the dresses gave
the idea of an immense bouquet of flow
erS, gauZe, fresh faces and light toilets;
much elegance without OverpOwering
magnificence. But this is character
istic of the Parisiennes. Nearly all the
guests were in costumes, and few man
teletS were to be seen.
The Comtesse Greffulhe wore a
charming dress, a mass of white lace
t1ounceS over pale lilac silk; lilac satin
waistband, and cravate; over this a
violet velvet redingote with high
straight collar, open in front, to show
the lace dress, which was not seen at
the back. The head gear was a
chapeau genre Isaby, made of a large
iris flower, round which was lightly
twisted long lilac tulle scarf, crossed
| at the back of the head, coming round
to tie under the chin, and fasten with
| large pearl pins.
As the guests came in open carriages

FEMININE FRIVOLITIES.

Pink is the favorite color for evening
wear.
Black jet with colors appears in both
costumes and millinery.
Snowy tennis gowns are of white
serge, braided with gilt or silver.
Dainty tea gowns are made of Hen
rietta in light shades, with surah fronts.
A dainty matinee was of esprit net,
with perpendicular tuckS enclosing rib
bOn.s
White cloth jackets, braided with
metallic cords, are in high favor for
dreSSy wear.
The open-mesh point d'esprit net is
more fashionable Just now for BRIDE
veil than illusion.
Gilt, silver, steel, white or red braidS
are used to trim boating dresses. usually
in graduated widths.
In many of the latest imported cos
tunes there is tendency to combine
several shades of one color.
A single spray of flowers is seen upon
some of the newest lace parasols, as if
blown there by the wind. )
A novel color combination is roseda
with terra Gotta, and both these colors
are combined with black.
Gold. silver and other fancy embroi-
deries are used to trim summer cos
tunes of pongee and cashmerette.
Poppy red ecru, old rose, reSeda and
gobelin blue are popular colors for the
foundation of dressy black lace toilets.
Foot trimmings on skirts are surely
being revived, and occasionally single
f1ounce of considerable depth is seen.
Poppy bonnets are composed en-
tirely of red, black or gray poppies, with
velvet petals and few perky-looking
buds.
Although most ladies prefer wool
dresses for travelling, silk and wool COM
biTations are used for such toilets this
season.

The order left for a dozen by the
pretty Newporter is not an eXtraOr-
dinary one, SO the modiSte in charge ex-
planned. These blouse waists are made
in India and surah silk, serge, null,
linen and flannel, and most of them are
made with full sleeves. which fasten
snugly at the wrist. They are to be
afternoon, and are decided improve
ment on the jersey and close-fitting
basque, as far as comfort is concerned.
The shocked yoke aud sleeves seen
on many of them are introduced from
England and give a decidedly pretty
effect. One of the handsome models is
of pale fawn-colored India silk, with a
yoke shocked in the hOneycomb pat
tern with crimson silk, and the full
sleeves finished from the waist halfway
to the elbow in the same fashion. A
collar, narrow cuffs and belt of crimson
silk complete the blouse.
Wash dresses are to be very much
worn at Newport and Long Branch this
summer. This is following an English
fashion. and shows at least that one has
and buff linens for the morning, and
mulls, cambrics and lawns for the early
afternoon are to be favored, Jaunty
little jackets in vivid crimson and white
wool are provided to wear with these
gowns early in the mornings.
The expensive 3 Sillen underwear
which has found favor all winter is not
now popular. The new importations of
Partisan garments in the finest of cam
brio, and covered with Valenciennes
and torchon lace, are so exquisltely
dainty that they have captured the fancy
of almost every feminine mind.
The corset covers are made i'll three
pieces and fit snugiy, and the chemises
are gOred and the bottoms handsomely
trimmed, so that they serve for inside
petticoats as well. White satin and
Open-work corsets come with each set OF
| this expensive underwear, and little
hustle is also provided to wear with the
skirt, the latter being hounced to the
knee in lace.
Some exquisite ball dresses are being
made for the summer. One intended
for petite blonde is study in yellow
and blue. The skirt, which just escapes
| the ground, is of pale blue satin and is
draped in three falls of corn-yellow
tulle. The outer skirt is caught up al
one side with large cluster of blue
corn flowers. the tiny buds falling tC
yellow satin, fastened with turquoise
buttons and edged with blue flowers
and full sash of pale yellow floats al
| the back.
Another gown is of rose-pink India
crepe, made in the Dnectoire fashion
| and embroidered all over in clusters OF
tiny white moss rose buds, the effect be
| ing eXquisitely dainty. Flowers are
used in great profusion on all the new
evening dresses, even such striking
ones as poppies and tulips being ia
vOred.
