Jonathan Hart, Of Hillsboro, Ills,
put loaded gun into the hands of his
12-year-old son and told him to shoot
anybody that entered the melon patch
and stole melons. Then he disguised
himself, entered the patch and began to
eat melon, just to see if the boy would
do as told. The boy did, and Jonathan
got the contents of both barrels and may
die. His idea was that d miserable
melon was worth more than a human
life, and fate seems to agree with him.

A Georgia story.

While small boy was walking up the
railroad near the Central depot few
days since, carrying an umbrella, he.was
suddenly taken up by a whirlwind and
carried over the large water tank near
that place and set down on the other
side without the slightest injury. He
presented quite an odd appearance sus-
pended from the umbrella in midair.

loom work wonders, and an elaborate
dress may be had ready made or be made
TO order in q few days. 1t is only neces-
sary TO have the money to pay for it.
All the rest Is very PLAIN sailing, thanks
to the genius of that useful member of
society, man, whose ingenuity has
brought laces, fringes. embrOideries and
other artistic trimmings within reach Of
very modest purses. The consequence
of all this is that women have more time
to devote 10 their underwear. Fifty
wears ago the world knew very little OF
this subject. Indeed il was almost bad
form to allude to it. 1t was great mys-
terry in white. Then came the tilting
hoop, so that woman couldn't enter an
omnibus without showing samples of
white undergarments. And as the lineu
underskirts were stiffiy starched-the
more stiffly and the more of them in pro-
portion to the wearer's wealth-it was an
easy thing to sit in ones pew and guess
the social standing of the ladies who
passed up the aisles, without looking at
them, merely from the rafting and
cracking of their s,arched linen skirts.
What | am coming to is this: That it
would be impossible for the confectioners
of artistic costumes, such as l am about
to describe to you, to attain that per-
lection of fit, that grace of draping, that
clluging and moldiug fiexibility, that
tendency to the curve of beauty, if these
delicate fabrics were superimposed upon
stifIlv starched surfaces.
Take, for instance, the handsome
costume pictured in the first illustration.
Here you have soft, flexible material
for the skirt, silk cloth in new and
delicate shade, set off by a broad band of
gathered trimming outlined by rows OF
black velvet buttons. The corsage is
very pretty combination of white ana
fawu-striped bengaline and black lace.
The sleeves are of white epingle pulled
and pleated, while the bertha and cuffs
are of white surah embroidered with
silk stars. The hat is in tawn, velvet,
richly garnitured with ostrich feathers.
To bring out the exquisite charm of q
dress like this, of course good Fl CURE is
nepdful, and above all, a perfectly fit
ting corset. and always, be il added, a
corset upon which the dress was built,
for corsets and dresses go together now,
and you might as well try TO paint
delicate miniature upon rough
canvas as to make q dress sit well
upon an ill-fitting corset. And whether
q corset fits we'll or i'll often depends upon
what is under it. No matter how slight
figure a woman may have, it is better
to depend upon the beautiful rather
than the useful to disguise 1t. In other
words, give the gown a trustworthy
foundation and rely upon adventtious
ornament to simulate roundness aud

ways at either hand with the one first to
be used farthest lay. Nothing but the
| sweets is put on this table, everything
being passed around by the walters and
each one allowed to help himself. This
is inconvenient and takes much longer ,
| but it shows off the elegant silver and
| glassware TO the best advantage.
| The ingenuity of the dinner giver is
expended in the cards, each one trying
to get up something original and in con-
sequence the styles are legion. Quota
| tains and conumdrums excite great
! merriment, while conversational with
| the topics printed on each favor and
twenty minutes to a half hour allowed
for each subject assures constant flow
OF conversation. Satin ribbon two or
three inches wide by nine long, with
! fringed ends, is painted in the prevailing
color and has q tiny card for the name of
the guest tied on with little bows or rib
bon. French etchings are often pre-
ferred to the paintings. Bisque flowers
! with card attached are very beautiful
and bon bon boxes filed withscandies are
very 'sweet.'
There is a gradual return to the as
signing OF guests in the drawing room.

placed on the table or not, as the hostess
prefers. 1t is a little more nice not to
have them.

here are not always to be had-is q mo-
mentous affair, AMI q mistake in serving
is regar led almost objectionable, or at
least betravs ignorance which IN the So
cial court is no more an excuse than 1t is
in courts of law. Fashionable dinerJ are
not usually prOhibitionists; or, If they
are, custom warrants the placing OF wine
upon the table and allowing each guest
to settle the drinking thereof as his con-
science may direct. connoisSeur in
wines would be inexpressibly shocked q;

standard for u dinner menu, the follow
ing is submitted:
Raw oysters, with brown bread and
chateau sauterne; light soup, sheryr,
fish. cucumbers, Mossell wine, entree
timbales, Rhine wine. roasted meat. one
or two vegetables, olives, claret, sher-
bet, game, lettuce or other light salads.
This Is the latest style of serving: Sailed
almonds, champagne; dessert, hot pud-
ding, champagne; ice cream served in
fancy individuals the color of which cor
responds with the prevailing color of the
dinner or i'll little baskets, which is the
newest; preserved ginger, champagne;
crackers and cheese, rich Burgundy;
fruits, nuts, raisins or candies; coffee,
cognac. Those who have very elegant
tables frequently remove the cloth for
the nuts and bon bons. From the mo-
ment of the arrival of the first guest uu-
til the departure Of the last one the
hostess must devote herself entirely to
them, ignoring all Irregularities of
service as is she we're herself guest, re-
membering that the success of the din
ner depends Eot so much on the perfect
service as her manner Of presiding.

Women Artists.

The women artists appear to be coming
to the fore this autumn in marked
manner. Fully half of the members of
the recently organized New York water
color CLUB are ladies', whose numerical
strength has enabled them to secure
proper recognition OF their rights with
regard to space and position in the ex-
hIbition of the club at the American art
galleries. The Woman's art club of
New York is likewise full of life, and
possesses membership OF about
sixty. Among the best known
of the names that figure on its
rolls are those Of Rhods Holmes
Nicholas, Dora W. Keith and RosaIie
Gill. 4 meeting OF the club took place
last week for the purpose of discussing
the organization of its spring exhibition,
which opens in February next. In Paris
the woman artist seems to be getting on
even better Not only has she organized
tUnion des Femmes Peintres ct Srulp-
ten So but she will henceforth be rep
resented by newspaper, founded,
owned and run BY the association. 1t is
q fortnightly publication, and announces
itself In its fortnightly number as the
Official Gazette of the woman artist, and
as the champion OF her rights and opin-
ions.

How to Save Boys.

Women who have sons to rear, and
dread the demoraliZing Influences of bad
associates. ought to understand the ma
ture of young manhood. 1t is excessively
restless. 1t is disturbed By vain ambi-
ton, by thirst for action, by longings
for excitements, by irrepressible desires
TO touch life in manifold ways. If you =,
mothers, rear your sons so that your
homes are associated with the repression
of natural instincts you will be sure TO
throw them in the society that in any
measure can supply the end of their
hearfs. They go to the public house at
first for the animated and hilarious COM
punionship they find there, which they
find does so much to repress tho disturb
ing restlessuess in their breasts.
See to it, then, that their homes COM
pete with public places in their attract
iveness. Open your blinds by dav and
light bright fires by night. liumine
your rooms. Hang pictures upon the
walls. Put books and newspapers upon
your tables. Have music and entertnin-
ing games. Danish demons Of dizziness
and apathy that have SO long ruleo in
your household, and bring in mirth and
good cheer. Invent occupations for your
sons. Stimulate their ambitions il
worthy directions. While you make
home their delight, fill them with higher
purposes than mere pleasure. Whether
they shall pass happy boyhood and enter
upon manhood with refined tastes and
noble ambitions depends on you.

Education fSr Girls,

The doors of every institution of learn
ing are not only being opened to girls and
women, but many efforts are being mad
TO provide WAYS to nelp them through
the course. The Brooklyn branch of the
Vassar I.udents' aid society has offered u
scholarship of 500 to the girl in the
locality represented by the branch who
passes the best examination next June.
This society by forming scholarships
hopes to help poor girls to get an educa-
ton. Barnard, Packer, Rutgers, the
New York training school for teachers
and others are represented In the union.
Louisville, Ky, has branch which has
offered a $500 scholarship. Boston has
offered one of S200. The offer of the
general society of $500 has already been
taken by a girl who is now at Vassar.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer claims
that education is lite;' that it is not
enough ct this day that women
can 10 through college and graduate
with high honors, but that there should
be cbauce for advanced study. And,
so many others believing likewise, il has
come about that the alumua of fourteen
of the colleges built for and admitting
women have founded 81 European fellow
ship. The preference will be given TO
those graduates who are expecting to
teach i'll women's colleges or schools
rather than to those who intend to follow
one of the three so-called learned pro-
fessions.

Housewife Hints,

It Is correct to stone olives before eat
ing them. Run the knife carefully
around the pit and then eat the berry
from the hand.
The proper caper is to eat the fish
course entirely with the fork, utterly
eschewiug the knife.
Tar can easily be removed from cloth
ing by Immediately rubbing 1t we'll with
clean lard and then washing out with
warm water and soap.
Add two tablespoonfulls of kerosene to
the pail of water with which you wash
grained or other Vanished furniture.
Washing floors and shelves with strong
pepper, tea or hot alum or borax water
will destroy ants and reaches.
Do hot put soap in the water with
which you clean mirror; 1t is almost
impossible to polish the glass if soap is
used.
Shruuken, halt-worn bed blankets or
comforts, past using on bed, make
good pads to put under stair carpet.
To clean pie plates that have long been
used for baking, put them in a large
kettle of cold water, and throw on the N
"a few hot ashes or cinders and let them
boil for an hour.
Fine table linen should be done up with
very thin starch, called 'water starch
by laundresses; merely thickened
water. Dipped in this the starch is uni
formly held. Napkins should have not
n particle Of starch, but table cloths
need the least bit of it to bring out their
gloss.
The best way to freshen up oilcloths
without injuring their appearance after
wards, is to wipe them off after they
have been swept with a cloth saturated
with coal oil. The cloth may be pushed
about with q broom and save backache,
caused by leaning over. 1t removes all
the dust and leaves them bright and
shining, an appearance which lasts longer
than when they are cleaned with soap
and water

Club organization has not yet reached
point in this city that threatens home
interests, bnt as Fort Worth is phenom-
email in its development, there may not
be undue haste in warning even now as
10 a possible danger for the future. Not
even O casual observer Will fail to notice
that domestic life, exclusive OF social en-
1oymeut, has tendency TO impoverish q
wVmau's nature, and yet there Is I'M
poverishmput that is more fatal, @ pow
ertv that enters the home when women
become engrossed in outside interests.
This comes when church work philan-
thropic missions, society literature or art
encroach upon home, It's duties end its
pleasures. There was a most appealing
sermon in the wish of the little daughter
Of wealthy aud active mother that her
mother had some day or hour for her.
There are more Mrs. Jelleby's than are
known, and heathens nearer home than
Africa.

herself OF the broaienilg and eleyating
influence OF outside work, but the dan
ger point in nearing when she fluids home

Family lie aud domestic happiness are
In the Keeping OF the wife and mother,
and her influence must not be friitered
away in outside schemes when it justly
belongs to her household. Unmarried
women NAV substitute for home life and
the love of children pursuit Of pleasure
or work outside of and distinct from
their main work; not so married women,
they must learn to draw a line some
where when the calls OF organ iZations,
whatever their purposes, interfere or be-
come so numerous as TO leave the home
deserted and the children comparatively
motherless.
The Booriboolaeha mission work may
bring woman into notice, but the home
mission fulfilled gives permanent fame,
in that the husband of the faithful mis-
siounry is known when he sits among the
elders, and her children rise up and call
her blessed.
