don, where the new religion outlined in
her famous novel is taught. Dr., Mar
tineau and Stopford Brooke are among
the distinguished members. Mrs.
Wards ideas of missionary work are
unusual, but poetic and popular. She
has that happy faculty Of feeding the
souls OF people in distress. 70 a be-
reaved home she will send some stand
ard author with the sweet, pertinent
passages marked with sprig of hearts
ease or bunch of forget-me-notS. She
makes silk-covered pillows for tired
heads or bouquets gathered with her
own hands, or she procures printed cop
les OF famous pictures for beauty spots
on the walls of sick rooms. 1t is not an
unusual thing for her to come in from
the country with her satchel filled with
fresh radishes, heads of lettuce, punches
of mint or ripe berries blushing with
the consciousness of their own de-
liciOuSness.
Mrs. Gen. Grant seems to have found
the elixir of youth. Although sixty-six,
she is as agile as woman of thirty, en-
joys perfect health, and, barring the
weakness OF her eyes, which were never
strong, her faculties are as keen as they
ever were. The gray in her hair is
hardly noticeable, her face is plump
and of good color, and her interest in
the affairs of the world covers both con-
tinents. Any day in the week she may
be seen going to her carriage from her
house in East Sixty-siXth street. She
has tall, yellow-Whiskered butler, with
back like press board, who opens
the plate-glaSS yeStibule doors, and.
when she passes, hops down the stone
stoop and stations himself at the coupe
with the door in his hand. Mrs. Grant
dresses in rich black abbey cloths or
silk fabrics, every fold of which seems
breathing forth the perfume of some
oriental blossom. Her earrings are set
with fiery solitaires, magnificentin color
and size, and through the twisted silk
mitts that cover her hands the CLINT of
pearl and the flash of diamonds may be

on having both eyes show. Another
wants the eyes in the picture to follow
the observer, as lie has seen in some
fine old portraits. but they want this
effect i'll a profile picture. Another
wants a dark background for a dark
dress, and another dressed in white will
ask for light background. Again,
there is the customer of artistic soul
who does not want to be posed, but
wants to look perfectly natural 1t
would do some of them good to be so
photographed, but it would be waste
of time and labor to attempt to teach
them lesson in that way. The fact is
that the perfectly natural pose is rarely
good for any style of photograph. and
may say never for bust size. An atti-
tude that is very good for full figure
may fail utterly to give good picture
of the head and shoulders alone.
'It is curious how some people will
expect the artist to make charming
dieture from an ordinary subject. They
would have him conceal all traces of age
and care, brighten the eyes, Straighten
the nose, lessen the size Of the mouth,
and in short, make up for all the short
cOmingS of nature. A true artist sees
all the defects at glance, and knows
at once how to pose the subject so as to
make most of the good points and best
conceal the bad ones. But his own ex-
perience and judgment are often set at
naught by some within of the customer,
which policy and not artistic aim teaches
him to observe.

nainsook, which will endure repeated
washlngS and bleachings in the dew and
sun, is preferred to any other material.
although some garments are always
shown IN linen for ladies who have
never become accustomed to any other
abric. For elaborate wear there are
fainty garments of linen lawn, hem
stitched with the needle and trimmed
with Valeneiennes lace. Refined
women in private life have never
adopted the stage fashion of wearing
complete outfits Of underwear made of
white or cOlOred surah or India s'wash"
silk. These materials, although washa-
BILE, are unfit for such use. because they
can not be sun dried in the fresh, open
air without losing color. Even white
Surah turns an unpleasant muddy yell
low. The superiority of even cambria
handkerchief to silk one need not be
dwelt upon where any one has made a
practical use of both. The silk under
garment worn by most refined city
women is all underveSt of silk webbing.
This garment must be made of the pur-
est thread Of silk in order to be a whole
some substitute for wool. There has
been no method ever discovered which
will prevent the spiral fibers of wool

even the most Scrupuious of care such
garments are shrunk up unfit for wear
long before they are worn out. Silk
underyests of the best quality are an
expensive item at first, but will outlast
several sets of wool underwear. and in
the end pay for themselves. The pure
white silk webbing turns creamy, but
not to the dingy color OF white wash
fix, and is soft and dainty as long as it
lasts. Next to silk is the Isle thread.
which is peculiarly suitable for summer
wear, and which is much less expen-
siYe than it used to be. besides possess
ing good wearing qualities. The great
est simplicity prevallsin the cut of all
French undergarments. Any attempt
at elaboration of trimming or cut is con-
sidered in the very worst taste. Chem
Uses are little worn, but they are low
and sleeveless, with a simple band
around the neck; they are daintily
trimmed with deep fall of lace, or lace
and insertion meeting, full front fin
ished with lace and insertion to the
waist line. The fall of lace, at least
three inches wide. around a simple
round or sacque neck, is considered the
newest fahion. 1t is pretty idea to
have drawing string of narrow ribbon
to arrange these garments comfortably
around the neck.

Few people know how to be photo
graphed. The photographers art is a
delightful one in its results, but the art
lists dealings with his subjects are often
unsatisfactory in the extreme. There
is probably no other art in which peo-
pie show SO little Difference to the skill
and experience of the artist and pre-
sumo so much On their own fancies.
Said leading photographer of this city
the other day:
Il do not think there is another art in
which the general public is so much in
tereted and about which it's so ignor-
ant and inconsistent. People come to
the studio and take fancy to certain
style of photograph which they see CT
have seen and want one just like H.
never taking into consideration that this
particular style may not become then.
so well as many another. There are
few people who do not like to be photo
graphed, but almost every one makes
some protest in the presence of the
photographer. lam safe in saying that
at least one-third of the people who are
photographed say to some one that they
would as soon go to the dentists as to
the photographers. IL people knew
how odious this saying has become in
our profession they would never use it
again. Besides being uncomplimentary
to the artist. it is not good policy nor
good taste OH the part Of the customer.
Photographers generally agree that
they have much more trouble in pleas
ing women than men; but they also
agree that when man is a crank on
this subject he is worse than any
woman they ever saw. ITO show YOU
some of the Inconsistencies with which
we have to CONTEND" said a photo
grapher recently, s'Iet me tell you few
of them. 1t is not an unusual thing to
have customer ask for three-quarter
view, and at the same time insist

of all the customers who are hard to
please, the mother with her first baby is
the most trying. She is sure to look for
expression in the picture of her two.
months-old baby. She wants such a
good likeness so that relatives can read
lily see the resemblance of this first born
to its mother OF father"
The greatest difficulty in securing
satisfactory photographs of women is
the want of simplicity in dress. The,
truth of this statement is attested in
various ways. For this reason photo
graphs taken on the spur of the mo-
ment, without forethought or special
preparation, are nearly always satisfac-
tory. Again, mems photographs are
generally acknowledged, especially
among women, to be more truthful and
stronger than those of the fair sex. This
again is because they dress plainly COM
pared with women and usually in dark
eolors 1t is not an unusual thing to
see women in Photographic studio
awaiting '.their turn wearing bouquets
as large as small hat, or other fancy
ornaments SO striking as to completely
mar the features in the photograph.
The question of color in dress is very
important. Usually the darker the dress
the stronger the features. The old
masters of portrait painting almost in
variablv subdued all col0rs except those
of the features, which were brought gu
