What Some Women Want Most.

At dove dinner the ether night
the question was asked, "If you only

gest that she ought TO wish for y doll

protoplasm is." Another, a woman
who looks like Mrs. Kendall, asked
for "Money, for with that I could get
everything else" A woman, who is
one Of the best writer's in this country.
and who is lappiest when SIZE is sail

would have to work hard for it,"
She gave in way tho keynote to /! G

to be continually doing. Another, a
woman who knows what it is 10 have
her body ache while the busy brain is

An Old slander Refuted.

There is an old SANDER, now happily
nearly extinct, to the effect that minis
ters' sons are, Is = rule. moro lavish
sewers Of wild oats than the sons of
laymen. The subject of the clergyman's
son in journalism has never yet been re-.
garded as an issue, and yet the profu-
sion with which some of the newspaper
Offices Of Boston are sprinkled with the
sons of ministers might we'll lead to q
discussion of the topic. In the Office of
one of the Boston dailies recently a
group of six attaches OF the stan were In
conversation, when it became known
that of the six five were sons OF minis
ters, Still another member of the staff,
himself Clergyman, is the son of q
clergyman. From this same office, with
in the last year or two, three members
Of the staff have gone, one by one, to
swell the staff of another great Boston
daily, and all three are sons of clergy
men. All of these nine men are of good
repute, and are all rather proud that
they are able to refute the saying, once
so frequently heard, but now rapidly
failing into disuse. Boston Advertiser.

say that Heaven kindly gifted me

ing white double primula with sbun.
dant light-green foliage. But to moro
fully describe these covers thoy were
circular, one light pink, ono light green,
one light blue, and one yellow silk. The
vase, made of cardboard like mans
hat, only smaller, was about eight inches
deep, and to this was sewn frilling Of
silk cut on the cross, folded double, and
sewn on 50 full that 1t stood MP like
Zip on one side, turning down opposite
to give moro ample space for the display
Of the foliage. Two round silk handles
crossed the top, and were secured ON tho
outside. In tho center was huge cen.

pinked-out silk, and deep frill Of lace
sufficiently deep quite half . yard) to
reach from the top to the extreme edge.
1t would seem just now almost impossi-
bic to have too large lamp-shades. Very
much admired are the crinkled paper
ones, one tlounce over another, with sp-
parcntly deep ruche at the top, and
are really not difficult to make. 1t takes
ten sheets of tissue paper for each
dounoe. They must be first
crinkled by passing them long and
persistently through the hand; then
they are pasted tightly together, ten in
a circle, and spirally tied round the top
of the frame. the darker over the lighter
paper, in such way that the two form
a sort of ruche or box-plaiting at tho
top
On the second table the center was
filled with soft eau-de-nil silk, puckered
up round four low-growing pots Of
lycopodium and ribbon fern, the pots
completely hidden. On the green silk
were loose punches Of delicate mauve
orchids, the petals bordered with band
OF deeper coloring: the amalgamation
Of color was very perfect. There Is .
great art in throwing these leahess
flowers arsistically on the groundwork
of silk, but the success ON this occasion
was perfect. Snowdrops and spirea
leaves on another table were laid ON .

with Turkish embroidery. Each corner
had been plated with . box plat, 80

on this handful OF white blooms with
their tender green stalks were laid. and
apparently kept in place by handsome
