unattractive and such as mature
fashions by the gross" which l always

DOUBLE WIDTH GOODS.

seams as Possible.
In using double width goods for
gowns now it must be remembered that
it is the mode to dispense with all the
seams possible in a skirt. Therefore
the width is made to serve for the
length of the skirt, thus permitting any
border running along one side of the
material to serve as the bottom trim
ming, while, il the border appears OH
both sides of the stuff it is wide enough
to cut that off and use it as trimming for
the bodice.
Fringes are woven along one selvage
of some new woolens, to be made up in
this way. Some cashmeres come with
a netted silk fringe of various colors
with the appearance of an inner gown
over which the loose one is thrown,
have sucn fringe running up and
down the open front.

ENGAGING LITTLE WAYS.

There are thousand pretty, engag-

put on without running the risk of be-

sweet smile; the quiet cordial bow; the
earnest movementin addressing friend
or more especially stranger whom one
may recommend to our good regards;
the inquiring glance: the graceful at
tention, which is so captivating when
united with self-possession, that will
insure us the good regards of even a
churl. Above all, there is certain
deIicacy of manner which should be
cultivated, and which, in either man or
woman, adds charm that compensates
for lack of beauty.

two, and one which we can bring arti-
ficlal aid to bear upon. If the epider-
mis- becomes dry we can apply olive oil
beaten to cream with very little rose
water. A lady who is advanced in
years Gndeed, she has reached
her siXtieth birthday, has a love-
~ complexion and no wrinkles.
When asked her reason for believing
that she possessed the secret OF perpet-
ual youth. she laughingly replied that
she had found the fountain of youth, for
herself, in olive oil and rose water. She
also says that patent face powders are
to be stunned, and the preference given
to drop" OR prepared chalk. which is
harmless, cheap and lasting, having
peculiar clinging quality, and is not
''dead white" but yellowish IN tone.
The olive oil and rose water should be
applied directly after the skin is washed
in good mild soapsuds, rinsed and then
thoroughly dried. Rub the ointment
into the skin until it is entirely alb
sorbed. Then apply the chalk, if it is
day time, and even in rough weather
the skin will not become chapped.
