The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1888-05-03

The president has introduced one Gus
tom never inaugurated by his prede-
cessors. He married a young wife in
the blue room. Other girls have become
bri les at the White house, but she is
the first who became the mistress Of the
historic mansion because of her marriage
there. This is a new story for the
storytellers, a new memory to mingle
with the political ones. All future
chroniclers will tell it, doubtless, in de-
tail, and they will have 10 more grace
full heroine or popular figure in all their
annals than the young and attractive
wife who has made herself and her hus-
band so many personal friends, and sub
dued by her winning qualities to her
own mild sway even the bitterest po-
litical oppOnents.-LMaiI and Express.

LADIES, DEPARTMENT.
Fair ROYAL Weayers.

The four Princcsses, daughters Of
Edward the Elder, and sisters of Athel-
stan, were celebrated for their skill in
spinning, weaving, and Introducing;
and Editha, wife of Edward the Con
fessor, was another famous needle
woman. So becoming was the han'li-
work of the fair danes to their stalwart
lords that the "black army" of the
Danes when they came to England
quickly cast off their dark, rcd-bordcred
mantles and became cfTcminateIy gay in
their dress, combcd their hair once a
day, bathed once week, and often
changed their attire. By those means
they pleased the eyes Of the women,
and even the wives and daughters Of
the nobility. = Chicago Mail.

A Wemans Idea.

Miss Atterbury, an American lady,
began work some years ago in the
Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau, Paris, with
view of helping shop-girls to obtain
employment, and also to provide them
with home after business hours. The
home is open from 10 p. m. to II p. m,
and there the young employees find
shelter, advice, entertainment and a
kind friend in the person of Mile.
Guinaud. 1t is much wished to open
rooms for night accommodation, and a
restaurant in connection with the home,
but funds are lacking. The number of
young girls who make use of the home
is rapidly increasing, and the work rec
ommends itself to the sympathies of all,
as those who benefit by the home are of
all nationalities and creeds. : Chicago

. Dinner @unrrintcndcnf.


4 New YORK lady, who had made her
fathers dinners famous by their elegance
and perfection, was left pcnniIes', She
knew that many ladies' refrain from din
ncr-giving because they feel unequal to
the ordeal, but arc quite willing to pay
any orc who can relieve them Of the re-
sponsibility and worry. An old friend
Of social position to whom she uafOldcd
her plan of dinner superintendent
agreed at once to employ her, and in
fucnced her wealthy friends to try tho
novel plan. 1t worked admirably, and
she probably earns more than any lady
teacher in the city. Her plan is to 60
to the dinncr-giver as soon as the invi-
tations are sent out, and discuss the
courses, etc. She knows just
what is in season, and does
the marketing if the lady wishes,
She finds out what sum the hostess
is willing to expcnd for flowers, menus,
etc, and buys them for her, taking
great pains to get novel and artistic do
signs. The afternoon of the dinner she
sees that the table is properly laid, in
spects the polish of the silver and the
lustrc of the glass, makes sure that the
changes Of plates, etc, are ready on the
sideboard, attends to thu finger bowls,
and arranges the shades on the candles

find so becoming. She foresees every
probable emergency and provides for it.
She is full of original ideas, AID dis
poses the flowers, sweetmeats, and fruits
in a variety of effective ways, and gives
the dinner that refined touch Of indi-
viduality that only "lady to the man
ner born" can compass, and which is
the thing a caterer is sure to miss. She
gets all the latest novelties from the
china shops, the caterers, and restau-
rants, and then adapts them according
to her own elegant notions. When the
servants are not we'll trained, she gives
them a rehearsal, showing them just
how to manage every minutia of the din
ner. She stands unseen, but keenly
observant, to direct affairs till the coffee
is served, and then slips away. Many
a time, behind a gold-embroidered
screen, she has seen friends who used to
gather at her fathers hospitable board,
and with a sigh, perhaps a tear, solaced
herself by thinking, '1ts shekels 1
want now, and not society" LChicago
Herald.

Fashion Notes.

Fans are neither large nor small, but
approach nearly the Irishman's middle
extreme" those of feathers being
immensely stylish
Foot gear is becoming decidedly SEN
sibe in both form a. we'll as mate rial.
The sensible last is now the fashionable
one and must be both broad and thick
of sole.
Bridesmaids may now look as pictur-
esque as possible, the more so the bet
ter. Clinging fabrics are more in favor
than any silken materials for the gowns
of the maids of honor.
Some odd little jackets of Moorish
style have an all over embroidery of
metal wrought work in silver and gold.
These are house jackets aud are in
tended to be worn with tea gowns.
Flat forms for close hats are very
stylish this season, and the Beefeater in
cloth with an eagles feather as trim
ming promises to be favorite form for
spring wear, and is very picturesque.
The spangles, so lavishly used on
many different articles of dress this
season, now find themselves relegated to
the highest sphere in the modiste's uses:
namely, in decorating wedding gowns.
Mllliners have ceased to use cocks
feathers, and eschew all plumage upon
the dainty small capotes, which are con-
fections of a little ribbon, much delicate
embroidery and now and again the
choicest flowers.
Buttons have lost their identity since
the rage for braiding set in, and are Of
little Importance being as quiet in style
as possible. The favorites are the small,
bullet-shaped ones, crochct-covered, or
else still smaller fiat ones, covered with
black silk.
Polonalses arc very much liked for
short-length evening gowns. Filigreo
brecades of gold and silver upon white
or paIe-tinted grounds are made up in
this form over plain petticoats, whose
fronts are covered with a full gathered
fouace reaching from waist to hem of
lace. beaded net or embroidered lisse.
The prettiest of the bangles are fine
threads of silver, not thicker than an
ordinary pin. These are worn to tho
number of eight or ten, being alter
nately plain and twisted Some wearers
who are not fond of silver have the sill
yer ones guided as the gold bangles are
expensive and the necessary number
costs a round sum.
Anovelty for trimming plain woods or
serge dresses in the use of colored tick
ing in yellow and blue, red and blue, or
blue and white. 1t is put in plain, in a
fold underneath the drapery or show
ing slightly at the edge. Natural
leather is used thus and it is very eff
fcctive. 1t must be done with measure
and taste and be jauntily worn.

following exercise in pronunciation:
A day or two ago, during lull in bust
