One of the developments Diane

mated as wedding superintendent"
The parsonage is, OF course, of the
feminine gender, and her function is
TO remove from the shoulders of the
prospective mother-in-law and her
daughter every burden and response

furnish the brides trousseau, providing
every detail OF it from travelling bon
net to the orange blossoms, but she
undertakes entire charge of the culiu-

glass and table linen, superintends the
noral decoration of the house and

superintendent is not OF necessity a

nor a hack driver, but is supposed to
be a woman OF fact and business. who
will detail the management of the var
ious accomplishments OF n marriage

herself having the general supervision
Of every thing.
This plan of wedding superintend-

PRETTY sAcHET OASIS.

One Whose Construction Requires But Lite
tie Expense and Labor.
One of the prettiest seen this season Waa
of the simplest construction, requiring
neither artistic skill with the brush nor any
vast amount Of labor. First, seven pieces Of
different colOred ribbon, chosen with view
to pleasant blending or vivid contrast, as
desired. Each piece should be seven inches
long and two wide, and fringed out at both
ends Then fold in half and sew the edges
firmly over and over with fine silk to matOb
each separate ribbon. This makes seven
small bags. Take cotton batting, cut to Just
slip in each bag and come up to the neck Of
each, where they are to be tied Fold into
each piece of batting whole spices, rosa
leaves violet or hehotrope powder; each
may have a separate perfume If desired
uather up the neck of each bag about a
third or half an inch below the narrow
fringe; gather firmly with strong thread
and fasten securely. Have bali of gold
tinsel cord and cut seven pieces of unequal
length, and each long enough 70 double; tho
shortest should be at least a yard long. Fold
In the middle and take the two ends and tie
around the neck OF bag. This leaves the
loop to hang up by. Gather all these loops
and fasten on a button ring, and hang over
the corner of the dressing case mirror. 4
quarter yard difference in the length OF
each piece of tinsel cord viii give pleasing
inequality in the position of each bag.
These sachet cases can be made equally
pleasing on the same principle out of scraps
of brocade, plaid or changeable silks OF
satins, or even of velvet and plush It is .
