on all occasions il to praise their hostess

The misohiey!ous looking little nix at
the head of this column seems as If she
might have been the very tot that cried
out with a saucy air: ''Oh, don't call
me an angel, mamma, for just broke

1t seems to me that the garments of
little folks become more and more artis-
tic in color combination and more elabo-
rate in design. Il almost takes my
breath away when l gaze upon the
charming little dresses in China silk,
nun . yelling, cashmere, sateen, benga-
line. velveteen or in lace over a silk
foundation, with stockings. slippers and
fan to match. Pongees or cashmeres in
contrasting tints make up charminRly for
little folks. Lace and embroidered
founciugs, piuked out frills, or ruches
of soft silk, and tiny lines of tinseI braid
are all useful for Frightening up child
ren's dresses. insertions of antique
Valsnciennss or torchon lace laid on
light colored silks or used on muslin give
that air Of lightness aud daintiness so es-
sential to the garments of the little girl
or young miss of ten or twelve.
Speaking of pretty home made dresses
for such little maids, especially for
evening wear, noticed that the effect
of several lace skirts could be very
easily simulated by simply having one
white skirt with to full rows OF lace at
the edge, closely sswed one above the
other. By this means there arises no
necessity Of laying of wooden skirts and
thus endanEeriug Dotty Dimple's health.
The cheap antique Valenciennes,>
about five or six inches deep, serves ad-
mIrsbly for garnituring petticoats. The
stockings may be In Isle thread to match
the paiest color Of the dress, while the
shoes may be either in black or bronze.

picturesque costume which pleased ma
greatly. 1t was smock in some sort of
soft cream silk, with O garniture OF
very narrow satin ribon set in
rows close together. The lower half of
the sleeves were of lace. When the class
was dismissed it was refreshing to nots
the innate grace with which this little
lady donued her miniature mantle in
deep heliotrope bengalins, with quilted
linink of soft silk In the palest tone OF
Neopolitan violet. One sees, in fact,
many charming toilets at the dane
ing GLASSES. One in particular struck
me as being extremely tasteful. 1t was
silk crepe in q lovely shade OF blue.
Just above the hem of the skirt there
was boullonne OF crepe prettily fes-
TONED and draped. A similar ganiture
appeared at the waist and collar, while
the bodice was set off by V-shaped
yoke. The sleeves were very full and
ornamented just above the wrist and be-
low the shoulder with small bows Of blue
ribbon.
And speaking OF dancing classes, l
would respectfully suggest to the direct
ors that it is quite as essential to teach q
child how to walk as to dance, for it
rarely happens that a woman keeps up

Now, inasmuch as walking ia, for most
of us at least, the only means OF locono-.

mind that We ought to be taught to walk
properly? An ungraceful gait sticks to
one forever. The toes OF my left foot

College, Bred Wives.

According to census of Vassar col
lege graduates recently published, it ap-
pears that OF s67 young ladies whose
career after quitting the institution had
been learned, 3l5. or little more than
Sc psr cent, had married. 1t would be
most unjust to an honored alma mater,
however, to rashly con clude from these
statistics that the Vassar girl, by reason
OF her collegiate endowment, Is in fact,
or in the estimation of the male Ameri-
can, less eligible as life partner. A
little learning would be dangerous
thing, indeed, If 1t should prove bar to
the COMMUNAL prospects of those who
have spent years in the acquisition of at
tsinments designed to make them at
trsctive IN the social circle. The cheer
ing fact is to be borne in mind, however,
tina: the remaining Ga per cent have
plenty of time to marry yet. Happily,
there is no statute of Limitation in matri-
mony, as in ordinary debts; and. as the
gifted Maria Mitchell once observed,
''the Vassar girl merries late, but mar
riss WE'LL
1t further appears from the tabulated
returns rs summed up by Frank Leslle's
that 'Vassar graduates have engaged In
thirtJ-seven different occupations be-
sides matrimony and teaohing," and
that nearly oil OF the occupations are
'gainful. What most girls would like
to know. thought which Occupation Of
the thirty-seven holds out the largest
promise of peeuniary reward; and also
how marriage on an average compares
with other occupations IN point of
"gainfulness. 1t is a matter Of COM
mon fame that most husbands, either
regularly or occasionally, are addicted
to lavishing what is modestly called
"pin- money" on their better halves.
1t is also matter of report that the pin re-
sources have on occasion been swollen
by Napoleonlc management of the market
money. The difficulty with such re-
sources is their vague and variable ma
ture. If the Vassar statisticsn cen
figure out approximately how marriage
compares with other vocations in the
delicate particular referred to, he WILL
give the feminine world census for
which thousands Of single women who
know not where to turn for accurate data
on this vital subject will hand down his
name with honor even to the third and
fourth observation-disclosures.

Recipes.

Roman unch-'sPrepare very rich
pineapple or sherbet; have it o little tart
with lemon juice, taking the greatest
care that none of the zsst or oil from the
yellow rind or the bitterness from the
white underlying the pith be allowed to
cutter into the composition of this cher
bet. In order to be certain Of this it Is
better first to CRATE of the yellow Iind
from the lemons, then to carefully re-
move all the white pith, and, ito make
assurance doubiy sure, wash the
skinned fruit in clear water, after which
press out the juice free from the rind of
the fruit, strain the juice so as to remove
all the seeds or pips from it; then add it
to the pineapple mixture. 1t must be
then very well frozen. This sherbet be-
ing very rich, will not freeze hard, but
will be a seml-ice. Just before the
punch is to be served add and work into
it for every quart of ice one gill OF
Jamaica, and for every two quarts one
pint of the beet champagne. Never use
the wine from damaged bottles or leaky
corks, as it viii be sure to deprave aud

Really a woman's Paper.

The editress of the Woman's Penny
Paper, London publication, is a true
lover of her sex. She and her staff work
together on the most friendly terms.
Not only are all the articles written by
women, but the compositors are women,
the office boy is woman, and so are the
janitor and telegrapher. The editress
has but one name for her staff
dear. The assistant editor is called
"my dears," but the rest of
the help answer to plain and sim
pie, but sweet and short, "dear.' At
home the Penny editress employs a maid
of-all-work. a woman cook and two
''lady hslps' in the "pressrvery,
who put up the jellies, jams, MARINA
ladies' and fruit butter, from which she
realizes half the profits of her Journal
istic work. Disguised with the laziness
and general worthlsssness of her gar
dsners, she advertised for female labor,
and an avalanche of horticultural lowell
ness swept down upon her. Many of the
applicants for the position of gardener
were daughters Of clergy men. She made
her selection, and has since openly de-
clered that women make the best gar
deners in the field.

Happy New Year.

crown each life. The perplexity and
anxieties that are indissolubly bound up

If each one do what they oan to cheer

each clear head, a steady hand
and strong heart. II is the strong and
the resolute who conquer success, while

Women are oftener Drawer than their

Pretty esshmeres, with dainty floral

half way, if desired.
One of the very new jackets is crossed

skirt is closely gored, and at the foot is
