What is home without our baby!
Our home is empty, the little crib
is empty, our hearts are empty.
But while earth is poorer, Heaven
is richer; while we have less to
live for, we have more to die for /;
while we have fewer ties Oh earth,
we have more ties in heaven
while our hearts are made sadder,
and we have less to encourage us
here, our anticipations are bright
ened and we have grander incen-
tives to heaven. "ComfOrt one

Complicated Arrangements for

Ali sorts of innovations and novelties
are now being introduced, not merely
in the decoration and arrangement of
material, but i'll the cut and fashioning
of the waist. Seams are shortened and
changed in shape, those of the shoulder
especially being curtailed until the
sleeve is half way up from the curve
of the shoulder to the throat. Side
seams are brou ght SO far forward
that they almost displace the darts, and
the latter are frequently dispensed with
altogether by leaving the extra fullness
plated in the waist. When the dress

Teen, and all her daughters have mar
ried before they attained the age of
twenty five. In each ease the marriage
has been an eminently happy one, and
just why Mrs. AstOr in theory approves
of more years in bride it is hard to
imagine.
Mrs. Frederick w. Vanderbilt thinks
that twenty-five is the most suitable aye
for the modern bride, as at that age she
is likely to understand her own charac-
ter and those of the people whose hap
piness is dependent upon her.
Mrs. Henry Clews thinks that early
marriages are to be deprecated in most
cases. Of course. love is essential to
happy marriage, and is, consequently,
of more Importance than the age of
either of the high contracting parties.
But woman who has seen something
of the realities and eXigencies of life is
surely better fitted to become happy
and helpful wife than girl whose
stntimentality and unreal ideas about
real things equip her poorly to cope
with the responsibilities of married life

We all know. after all, that marriage is
lottery, and | think women have Just
as good chances early as late-young as
old. The great mistake about marriage
is that very young brides are apt to
compare married life TO perfect bliss.
Married life, as fact, is very like sim
gle life, happy in various degrees, but,
from its very nature, never perfect
bliss. Indeed, am getting to believe
that all the women ought to marry and
marry early, but that the men ought not

Mrs. Chauncey NJ. Depew believes
very decidedly that twenty-five is the

Mrs. CIeyelands Fnrs.

Young married ladies have used fur
considerably on evening dresses. One
of the toilets ia which Mrs. Cleveland
has appeared this season had a border
of Russian sable, and the same fur out
lined her white throat. Brides never
wear their wedding dresses to balls
exactly as they were originally made.
All the orange blossoms are removed if
this flower has been used, and other
flowers employed in their stead. The
bridal air of the gown is destroyed as
much as possible.

YOUNG MARRIED LADIES.
They Have a Wider Liberty of
Dressing Than Any Others.

Young married ladies have everything
to choose from for the material and
fashion of their evening gowns. There
are no other women in the whole range
of society who may use such unlimited
liberty in the selection of their
toilets. One feature that dis
tinguishes their gowns from those
of young girls is the greater
solidity of the fabric used. Their gauze
dresses are made in combination with
satin instead of silk, and the flowers
they select are not usually so fine and
small as those used by the debutantes.
The ball dresses Of young married
ladies are made with slight trains, but
the girls gowns only Just touch the
floor. Bands of feathers are sometimes
used instead of flowers, and gold and
silver figure largely in this years ball

Zouave jackets are very popular for

plain white or faintly-tinted gown, and
