Some Things Never in Fashion.


There are some things that are never in
fashion, although the enterprising shop
man may fill his windows with them. One
is green gloves. If one green glove can be
worse than another it is that kind with V
shaped sections of white kid set in them.
These never were and never will be fash
ionable, and do not let anybody induce you
to spend your money on them.
Then while scarlet crepe bonnets and
scarlet trimmings are in good taste leave
all red hats, especially the large ones, to the
people in the nursery. Arrange your red
coloring in some other way and do not
have it all in hat. La Mode never ap-
proves of them.
Then do not believe that blacks, grays
and browns are to be forgotten for some
odd shade Of green, pink or blue; the first
are always in good taste. Peculiar tints
are never to be desired unless one has a
wardrobe in which gowns are very numer-
Gus.
Do not be persuaded into buying any
thing. Think out before you start what
you want, and endeavor to get it, The
penance of wearing unbecoming and un-
suitable costumes, or adjuncts, is trying
one; so be wise, and by choosing judiciously
do not put yourself in position that will
involve your having to undergo it. Sack
cloth and ashes mean happiness as COM
pared with silk and tulle for all hours and
occasions.-Mrs. Mallon in Ladies' Home
Journal.

1t Was a Woman's Idea.

A bit of Vassar history not generally
known to the public is the fact that this
woman's college, founded by man, was the
thought of a weaker vessel"
Mr.. Matthew Vassar had kinswoman
who was principal of young ladies' semi
nary in Poughkeepsie, Miss Lydia Booth
by name, an estimable and accomplished
woman. When Mr.. Vassar was consider
ing the question of the final disposition of
his fortune he was strongly inclined toward
the establishment of a hospital which
should be upon the lines of Guys hospital
in London. While considering this scheme
Miss Booth suggested that wise plan
would be the foundation of a college for
women, to be to them what Yale and Har-
ward were to men.
Mr.. Vassar was what is called in the
popular phrase "a self made" man. This
was true of him intellectually as well as
financially. The deficiencies of his early
education he sought to supply by culture
in the latter years of his life, and to great
extent was successful. Mrs. Vassar, the
wife of his youth, did not keep pace with
her husband in this direction, and there
fore the Importance of thorough training
for young women which would send them
into the world with a thorough mental
equipment appealed to him with peculiar
force. Miss Booths suggestion was
adopted, and charter for the incorpora-
tion of Vassar female college was granted
by the New York legislature in 1861

Fifth Avenue Bellies.

Among the various walks of life" from
which men choose their wives fashionable
promenades are by no means the most eli
gible.
81 really think my daughter would spend
her whole time in Fifth avenue if 1 would
let her." said a mother in our hearing the
other day.
Madam" said we, don't let her."
Fifth avenue is poor school for girls
who expect to become wives. What sensi-
BILE man would desire to marry mere
gadder and shopper? And surely no young
lady is ambitious of marrying fool.
That belle and beauty should desire
to be seen and admired is natural enough,
but the prettiest thing in the world if con-
tinually on exhibition becomes an object
too familiar to be much valued. A fair
creature who divides her time between
studying the fashions at the millinery and
dry goods stores and sailing up and down
the sidewalk to display the same is not
likely to shine in domestic life as the head
of the home department. - New York
Ledger.

Postal Card Case.

Cut piece of birch bark little over
twice the width and length of a postal
card. On one-half of the wide side make a
deep pointed end, which when turned down
serves as a cover, and on the other half of
the same side cut out piece not quite as
large as the pointed cover.
Next fold the birch bark across through
the center, which will bring the pointed
cover over the opening. Overland the
edges of the case together with bright col
ored silk.
Cut little slit in the bark and a CORE
spending one in the under side of the case.
Pass narrow bright ribbon through the
two Sits, fastening it on one side with
few fancy stitches, and having the other
and longer end loose.
When the package of postal cards is put
into the case it will carry down the ribbon
with it to the end of the case, and when the
ribbon is drawn up, the cards will be drawn
into view with it. Leave the ribbon long
enough to tie with bow and ends when
the case is closed.
The case can be made of rough water
color paper and decorated with some
sketchy designs, if birch bark Is not to be
had; or it may be made Of cardboard, COW
cred with any pretty silk, satin or velvet,
and ornamented to suit the fancy of the
maker.--Youth's Companion.

"The Cheapest Unlaundered Shir

lne CneapeSC OnlaunueTeO
You see this sign in the windows of all
gentlemen's large furnishing stores.
You go in and examine the bargains pre-
sented, and you buy half dozen of these
cheap shirts and congratulate yourself on
the low price you have paid, and you tell
your neighbor about it, and you and she
together declare that you will never make
another shirt as long as you both shall live
You can buy them at the cost of the ma
terial and you get the work for nothing.
1t is very satisfactory thing to think of
getting something for nothing, and we all
enjoy it. 1t means just so much saved 1t
means just so much the more of this
worlds good things.
But did you ever consider what cheap
shirts mean to the wretched slave who
makes them at fifty or seventy-fve cents a
dozen?
Did you ever think of the long, long
hours of toll, of the loss of needed rest and
sleep, of the aching muscles and the weary,
pricked fingers and the throbbing brain of
the seamstress who makes the shirts which
are sold at fifty cents eachp
Did you ever put yourself in her place
and try to think how you would like to
work ten or fifteen hours for money enough
to keep soul and body together?-Kate

There is also singing, and sometimes a

The work was inaugurated by two or three
young ladies in Edinburgh, who formed

now in all parts of Scotland. In addition
to the drill there are classes for singing,
sewing and Bible teaching, and kindly
talks on temperance, thrift and purity,

An Old Writer.

Probably the Oldest living authoress in
this country is Mrs. Elizabeth Oakes
Smith, who was very prominent before the
war, not only as writer but as lecturer.
Although she is still contributor to one
of the literary weeklies, both in prose and
verse, her name is rarely seen elsewhere,
and the general impression doubtless is
that she has passed away. The standards
of criticism are so different now from what
they were thirty years since that her work
poems, novels, tragedies and miscellanies
would not be ranked nearly SO high as
formerly.
Born at what is now Cumberland, Me-
her maiden name was Prince-she was
married at 16 to Seba Smith, author of the
once famous Maj Jack Downing letters.
She became widow some twenty years
ago and has been living most of the time
since at the small town of Hollywood, n.
c., near the coast, where at 81 she is in ex-
cellent, vigorous health. She was one of
early advocates of woman's rights, speak
ing on the subject in all the larger cities
and contributing various articles to the
magazines of the day. woman and Her
Needs" published forty years ago, attract
ed much attention and elected warm COM

traordinary changes in the republic and
has survived nearly all Of her contempora-
ries, many of whom occupied exalted posi-
tions in her youth and have now passed
into oblivion.-EXchange.

The Natural Beauty of the Nail.

: The nails of the fashionable woman are
often-to put it strongly-a positive abom-
nation. They are vulgar, just as anything
that is overdone and pronounced is vulgar.
And they are altogether "agin natur'," )"
quite as much SO as if they were stained
with henna like those of her East Indian
sister. To conform to nature the nail should
be trimmed round, to follow the line of the
finger tip, instead of being slanted up in a
long sharp point, which is supposed to add
a tapering look to the finger, but which
really suggests the claws of bird.
And then they are polished too highly.
To fastidious mind the overwrought
glistening of the nail is as offensive-be-
cause it is as unnatural-as the painted
cheek or the darkened eyes. Artifce in
the finger tips is no less vulgar than arti-
fee in the face. And it is not beautiful.
Nature is an artist who does not make mis-
takes. If the beauty of the nail were really
enhanced by laying hard glistening polish
upon it, she would have known how to do
so.-New York Evening Sun.
