every moment stronger That it was a
woman of the widest intelligence and
sympathy with whom / spoke. One
thing especially struck me, that every
topic seemed to lead her unconsciously
to the same subjects love for peace,
which appeared to strangely occupy
and fill her mind. Did the Empress
speak of Americas material growth,
after dwelling on the details she would
say, With such resources as that you
will never need to go to war Did she
speak of its moral enterprises and as-
pirations, she would say, When they
live with such lofty aims they must
surely love peace She spoke of
France and the exhibition, and said
i was so please with it because ] be-
lieye that there is nothing like an in
teraational exhibition to foster peace
And this word she used so frequently
that | suspected the Empress may
have detected q CLEAN of merriment in
nay face, when suddenly, in a half
pettish tone that was very winning,
she exclaimedmsAh, | see you think /
talk a great deal of peace, but ] feelit
all. Think what / know of war And
then she murnured something so low
that / could only catch the words

with an earnest injunction that !
would make it my task to promote
the friendship between her country
and ours, saying:-And you will not
forget that I have the peace of the

Dainty House Linen.
Ii there is anything the average
woman delights in it is fine napery,
and this season the display is really
wonderful. The dainty housekeeper
who takes pride in her table furnish
ings may revel to her hearts content
in a perfect wilderness of styles and
patterns as aisnlayed in glossy
dalnask, Table covers are now made
IN patterns, which obviates the neces-
sity Of hemming and adds greatly to
the beauty Of the cloth. These may
be obtained in all grades and prices,
the graceful designs and satin gloss of
the damask making it a favorite with
the average purchaser. The beauty
of beauties now shown is a lovely
cover with napkins to match of silk
and linen, glossy as satin to the eye
and perfectly exquisite to the touch.
IL is something OF a revelation to
watch a woman of refinement hand
ling fine linen.
The expression of her hands as they
pass lovingly owe the damask, tells
more than pages of words. These
covers of silk are for the average
female to look upon, only, because
forsooth the modest sum asked for
them is from $75 to $125 apiece, in
Guiding one dozen napkins. The
design of morning glories wreathed
about a beautiful cover was exquisite
and a feast to the eye other who could
gaze without longing for possession.
1t wonld seem that ingenuity would
be taxed to invent something new in
the way of towellings. These prosaic
and useful articles must ever be of the
same angular outline, but the designs
laid upon them are beautiful. Many
are seen with garlands OF flowers
woven as a border and heavy knotted
fringe i'll the same colors. The major
ity of women prefer all white, but the
fancy borders are attractive in appear
ance, and as displayed in show win
dows, even commonplace towels re-
