, 1890-12-14

= humble one; l was to have only ten
minutes. l was shivering with terror Of
the ordeal, my heart beating to suffoca-
don, my breath nearly gone when my
name was announced; but l made my
speech and achieved such a measure Of
success as filed me with delight.
The text evening l was again to have
ten minutes, and on that occasion l had
my first experience of stage fright.
l was introduced, received with aP-
plause, and began with some confidence
because Of my success Of the previous
evening. For perhaps five minutes 1
went on with what l had to say quite
sasily. Then a strange, overpOwering
nervousness took possession Of me-. Every
idea fed. I had no words and no
thoughts. 1 seemed to be standing on a
pinnacle in space; thousands OF people
were looking up at me, stretching in
endless rows to infnity. / gave a back
ward glance almost of despair. The pre-
siding officer and the chair where lay
the manuscript Of my speech seemed to
be miles away. All this while all the
blood in my body seemed to be rushing
to my feet and thus leaving me, 80 that
I almost looked TO zee if q crimson tide
was not flowing over the edge of the
platform.
l was beginning to grow numb and
thought 1 should faint, when like \ flash
the thought dArted into my mind what
a theme this would be for the reporters,
and how the incident would be seized
upon as a proof Of the weakness of my
sex. With a mighty effort 1 rallied my
forces, the blood flowed back to my
heart and l went on with my speech,
concluding amid much applause. No
one in the least noticed my attack Of
stage fright, and all the emotions which
to this day seem to nave occupied a long
space of time must have passed in half a
Second.
Several times since l have had brief
attacks of a similar tremor, coming on
apparently from no cause, seizing me
when in the full swing of a speech, and
only conquered by a mighty effort of
will, but 1 have never had so severe a
visitation as the first one.
Probably the most absurd adventure
1 ever had in making a speech was fall
ing down oil the stage. 1t was at Nunda,
N. Y, in the summer of 's4, [ think.
Before l began my lecture, which wa
delivered to a good audience in the Opera
house, l noticed that the carpet on the
stage had been drawn loosely over the
hollow for footlights which contained nc
fixtures. l made a mental note to be
careful of the trap, and vent on success.
fully through my regular remarks
After the close 1 took some papers from
q table and began to explain to the audi
ence what they were. In my earnestnes.
l forgot the depression, made a forward
step and fell.
In a moment half the people in tn,
house were on their feet, but l jumpec
up quickly, being entirely unhurt, say
ing with a smile that 1 thought som
man who was opposed to woman suffrage
must have contrived that trap. Every
one laughed and a%pplauded, and 1 went
on with my story.

and an indentation in the center of the
top. 1t is well to buy an ordinary pillow
of feathers or down for a couple of dol
lars, which affords ample stuffing for the
two cushions.

Gated in India or China silk Green is
the most effective color to be used, and
in two shades, the darker lone for the
upper side of the cushion and the lighter
shade for the lower side, suggestive of
the lighter lining of a natural Leaf.
The edges and veins T outlined in

the veining in q real leaf is generally
lighter than the surface. The two points
Of both cushions at either side of the in
dentation for the stem are then fastened
together. At one side is set a rosette
made of a ruche of silk in the two shades
and tied through the center with rich
green ribbon. The cushion is then in read
iness to be placed upon the chairs back,
to which it lends both comfort and ornA-
ment. Since the feathers are OF most
expense, it is well to suggest a slumber
roll worked with dainty silk to be left
seven inches longer than the cushion,
cut diagonally across the ends and lined
with plush A girdle of ribbon is then
tied from end to end to hang it on the
chairs back. The jaunty ends display
the rich plush lining. and you have prac-
tically the same result as the saddlebag
with half the labor and cost.
A nest of cushions is almost a neces-
sSry appointment in a drawing room or
library of today. Piled at the side OF a
low, broad couch, covered with q Bag
dad rug-which, luxuriant as it sounds,
is the cheapest covering, since beside the
slight expense of the rug it does away
with upholstery-are these cushions,
Hastily covered in infinite variety. They
may be incased in the rarest stuffs Of
the orient or in the cheap, durable man
ufactures of our American mills.
The cut presents one three-qusrters OF
a yard square in China silk. The silk is
made three inches larger than the cush-
ion, and tied about the corners with
short cords finished with upholstery
balls at the ends. The tags, or ears,
prove very convenient if one desires TO
drag the pillow about or adjust it to just
the "tired spot in ones back"
Screens in simple and inexpensive de-
signs abound. The cut gives one in a
white frame with pictures on rough
paper of crysanthemums, lady apples
and nasturtiums in bold work and
strons color in each panel.

Jackets for the young and middle
aged are oftener seen now in the CAV
Paris streets than any other form OF
outdoor garment. There are two styles:

Of the garment, covered with rich pas
sementerie trimming in arabesque pat
tern. In this case the sleeves are also
covered with this trimming. But fur
is everywhere, on dresses, jackets, long
wraps and hats and around the tops of
children's boots.
Every kind Of fur is seen. and rufs Of
cocks feathers as well as long boas and
short ones are worn. A most beautiful
reception dress was made Of old rose la
dies cloth, gathered plainly in the back
and with the front breadth slightly
wrinkled.
The very coarse tweeds and English
homespun materials with rough and tuft-
ed surfaces for walking dresses are grow

seasons undeserved disuse, is now a ia

Taxes are levied upon school children

senting jewelgOi different color, is much
seen, amethyst, emerald, sapphire and
ruby being the colors most worn. Peau
de sole brocaded in tiny flowers through

color are thickly sewed. For instance,
turquoise beads for blue forgetme-not
