II wonder said Mrs. Eaton, what
makes Frank Sawyer so different 0
Tom Blake and Bill Harris2 They've
got good homes and good parents, but
| Tom and Bill are as rough as young
| Indians, and never seem to know the
difference between the inside OF n
house and outdoors
Well. the fact was that Frank Saw
! yer had sisters, and it was impossible
to feel that the INSIDE of the house
was the anne as Outdoors" where
the presence and influence of either
| older or younger sisters were con-
| stantly felt.
Said a gentleman in our hearing not
long since:-sI can neye tell what my
older sister was to me all through my
growing up. / knew nothing OF her
value to me as a boy. and recognized
comparatively little of it as a young
man; but now | have reached years OF
maturity Lrealize how much she dld
to make home attractive n my
childhood a very pleasant one.
And again, it was but a little Whlle
ago a lady was speaking of the gentle
manner and unusual ability in enter
tanning shown by a young gentleman
who had recently come into the COM
munity.
"Oh, WE'LL said a friend, "11l tell
you where he learned his ease and ac-
quired such finished manners. he
grew UP with a lot of sisters, and they
always depended on him to help them
when they had company, and they
consulted him about their fancy work
and the arrangement of a o or tea
table, just as if he was another girl. 7
Commend us to those boys who
have grown up with "a lot of sisters. :
We have often heard a gentleman re-
marx regretfully:-"I never had a sis
ter; that was something | missed. :
We feel for them a genuine pity that
they should have missed so much.
But do the girls of the family realize
even slightly the great influence they
are exerting, or might exert over their
-brothers?-Mo1treGt star.
FiIIets, Aigrettes and Bandeaux.
For full dress, fillets and other adj
denda of attire belonging to the En-
pire period seem for the time to have
taken the place of the little ~aigrette
and Pompadouf wreaths which gave
to English girls and women a touch
of the stateliness of the ladies of the
reign of Louis XIV. Yet there are
some adornments of the fashion of the
earlier period still in favor-among
them miniature pompon wreaths Of
tinsel, with an osprey; aigrettes en-
tirely composed of curled osprey; and
the bewitching tiny half wreaths OF
wee roses, with three or four of the
little blossoms and buds set in an up
right cluster on side. The new
est devices. however take the form of
bandeaux of narrow curled feathers,
the stem of the feather being followed
by a line of gold, and either a cluster
of feather buttons or an aigrette OF
small plumes set on SIDE, after the
mode in vogue at 1.-The court OF the
Empress Josephine;a' while another
becoming headdress of the same
period has narrow fllets of twisted
ribbon.
MINIS. Yelling Night Dresses.
A material which is gaining favor
for night-gowns is nuns yelling, prin-
cipally in pale pink or cream. 1t is
the very finest that can be had, and
10 soft and warm. 1t is trimmed with
plaitings of the same, and sometimes
with frills of cream Valenciennes lace
in addition. Some are made rather
low in the neck, with shorter sleeves
than formerly. The fashion for
cashmere sheets is also gaining in
popularity for those who can afford
them, for they are costly. They are
recommended by physicians as being
warm and healthy for winter use.
