Some Lace Collections.

Perhaps the largest and most valua
BILE collection of laces in the possession
Of any one is owned by Mrs. Robert L.
Stuart, the widow of the old time sugar
refiner. But some very rare and beau
tiful laces are owned by New York
women. These treasures have come
into their possession either by inner
itance from their ancestors or by pur-
chase during trips to Europe The day
for wearing real and valuable laces,
except on extraordinary occasions, is
past, however.
Fashionable women rarely allow their
precious laces to adorn their gowns
nowadays. A rich dinner toilet may
be sometimes trimmed with profusion
of genuine old lace, but the ornament
is removed from the gown when the
owner takes the garment off
For ordinary wear the imitation laces
have taken the place of the more costly
kind. Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt,
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Will
liam D. Sloane, Mrs. Aston, Mrs. New
bold Morris, Mrs. Prescott Lawrence.
Mrs. Charles A. Post, Mrs. Frederic
Goodridge. Mrs. John Ewing, Mrs.
John Warren. Mrs. Royal Phelps Car
roll are among the society women who
have real laces, which. however. they
seldom use to eInbellish their gowns.
Mrs. Marshall g. Roberts and Mrs.
Bradley Martin possess some rare and
very choice laces, and it has been said
that the old laces owned by Mrs. Whit

A Uniqu. wedding Gift.

A unique gift was that presented to
the groom Of a recent wedding by his
about to be mother-in-law. It was an
album containing photographs of his
bride at'yearly intervals from the age of
one month to that of her bridal day
twenty-five years. If the husband
takes up the work that the mother has
laid down and insists upon his wife's
counterfeit presentment being added
every twelvemonth to the collection,
it will form a most interesting relic to
be handed down to her descendants. =

The Earl Of Derby's Harness Copied.
The richest equipage on the boule.
wards at Saratoga will be that Of Miss
Anna Elizabeth Nolan, daughter Of ex-
Mayor Michael J. Nolan, Of this city.
Not the least remarkable feature will
be the harness of the team of fine
horses. which has been made by an
Albany man and cost 81, 200.
All parts that could possibly be SO
made are of English patent leather and
the rest is OF the best American leather.
The loops are hand creased and orna-
mented with exceedingly pretty de-
signs.
The trimmings are triple silver plated
on German silver and there are twenty
two solid silver monograms in all, worth
seventy five dollars. The cost Of the
trimmings alone was $475. The bits
are the celebrated, Liverpool partsilver
bits. The pads, drops and other patent
leather parts are sewed with white silk
by hand. The pad and the forehead
band are trimmed with rich imported
English silk braid Of a dark green color.
The bride rosette is also of green
silk. Russell reins are hand sewed with
white silk, and twenty-one feet six
inches long. The crosses are doubled
and the hand part Of the reins is Us
long as an ordinary pair Of reins. 1t
took three months to make the harness,
and it is said to be exactly like one
made several years ago for the Earl Of
Derby. Albany Argus.

UNVEILED woRKBAG.

The purse shaped workbag, illustrated,
is good example of this way of using
gems. One end is drawn up tightly and
finished with pair Of large silk tassels,
the other is left straight and ornamented
with row of tiny fancy tassels of various
colors. The bag itself is Of rich crimson
velvet, lined with cream colored silk and
closed with two large ivory rings; the
straight end is decorated with four rows Of
jeweled stars; at the bottom the jewels are
of two shapes, oval and round; they are
like pale aqua marines in color, and are ar
ranged around a yellow topaz, which forms
the center of the star; the first and third
rows are alike. and in these the rays of the
star are formed by eight long stitches Of
yellowish cream chenille, radiating from q
yellow topaz; the second row is similar
but the chenille is pale blue instead of vel.

those in the preceding row.

old, Is a little marvel OF acute editorial
Judgment. 1t seems to have been born
in him. Very early in his editorial ca
reer he would be playing with his mar
bles or his pet cat when he would say /;
II have an idea. l will write to Prince
So-and-so and get an article for The
Sunny Hour" His ideas always have
worked. He has published in his little
monthly articles from more kings and
queens and princes and war worn gen.
erals than any three magazines Of
grownup dimensions.
Carmen sylvia sent him two poems.
Osman Pasha, the defender of Plevna,
sent him an article for which a maya
CINE editor would have given much.
Prince Roland Bonaparte has sent him
the manuscript of an unpublished book
ON science, with full liberty to use ex-
tracts. The Princess of Wales sent
him story. A man publisher hearing
Of this concluded that he could do a.
much. and sent blank check for an
other. The check was, of course, re-
turned.
Social leaders in New York took the
boy up and made pet Of him. Their
children wrote for him and he was in
demand at receptions and fairs, where
he was a model of boyish department.
But all this was hard on a growing
boys vitality. Tello will be kept at
school in the country, out Of reach Of
city excitements. Three days in each
month he will have leave of absence to
come down and get his paper ready for
the press. Next year he will go
abroad. and whether he goes to Paris,
Spain, Greece, Turkey, Africa, South
America or China, he will be able to
hobnob with subscribers and contrib
utors of the most imposing and dig
nified character.
The sanctum of this young editor is
museum. There are shelves filled
with curiosities, and rows upon rows of
photographs Most of the distinguished
contributors, and some like Queen Vic
toria, who have not contributed, have
sent him portraits, SO that the wall is

A dealer in wall papers gives the follow
ing directions for making paper stick to
rough walls: First, take block Of wood
about as large as your hand and rub the
wall all over. This will take of all the
rough plaster. Then, if you have very
heavy paper to put on, dissolve one pound
Of good glue in pail Of boiling water and
apply with brush to the whole surface to
be papered, being especially careful to cover
the edges or corners next to woodwork. A
thin paste applied in the same way will be
sufficient II ordinary paper Is to be used,
always taking care to cover the edges and
