How to Cut a Bell Skirt.
From Good Housekeeping.]

The new skirts are invariably in bell
shape, but it is not to be supposed for
that reason that the foundation skirt is
entirely done away with. Oh the con-
trary, many bell skirts are mounted on
foundation skirts of silk from the belt,
in order to make them hang more grace
fully, and it Is somew hat easier for an
Inexperienced dressmaker to make them
up i'll this way than simply to line them
with silk. The back part of all bell
skirts is now interined with foundation
muslin, in order to make the pleats set
firmly and smoothly. For those " no do
not know how to cut a bell skirt, we
give the following simple directions
lake piece of cloth about a yard and a
half wide and three yards long. fold it
in the center lengthwise, find the length
of your front on this fold, and use this
length as radius to form the quadrant
of circle. You have now barely out
lined the bell skirt. On the top edge of
your fold of cloth, at the top of your
quadrant is the back seam of the skirt.
The tip, or point, of the quadrant must
be cut off enough to fit the skirt into a
belt and form the waist line. The
curved edge of the quadrant forms half
the bottom edge of the skirt. When the
fold of cloth is spread out, after it is
thus cut, it will be found to be in the
form of semi-circle, with second tiny
semi circle cut out where the waist line
comes. Thus a complete bell shape is
formed where the back seam is sewed up.
Three or four little cores, about four or
five inches long, must be taken at the
top of the skirt, to fit it around the hips,
and cluster of thick pleats be pressed
in and held in place by classics, to give
a graceful, fan-like sweep to the back
breadth and hold the skirt smoothly
down at the sides and in front. The
skirt must be trimmed off around the
bottom in such manner as to make it
hang evenly. If it is to be trained, the
back seam must be heightened.

Some Things To Try.
Water house plants with cold tea.

Water house plants with cold tea.
Try snuffing powdered borax up the
nostrils for catarrhal cold in the head.
Try taking your cod-liver oil in toma-
to catsup if you want to make it palata-
BILE.
Try walking with your hands behind
you if you find yourself becoming bent
forward.
Try an extra pair of stockings outside
of your shoes when travelling in cold
weather.
Try a cloth, wrung out from cold
water, put above the neck at night for a
sore throat.
Try saturated solution of bicarbonate
of soda (baking soda) in diarrheal
troubles; give freely.
Try a newspaper over your chest. be-
meath your coat, as a chest-proJector, in
extremely cold weather.
Coffee pound d in mortar and roasted
on an iron plate, sugar burned on hot
Goals, and vinegar boiled with myrrh and
sprinkled on the floor and furniture of a
sick-room are excellent deodorizers.
Chenille curtains can be cleaned by
hanging them over clothes line and
whipping all the dust out of them with
three or four switches tied together at
one end to form bunch; then lay on
table, brush well and finish with a steam
cloth wrung out of weak alum water.
Take an old cotton cloth, mix table
spoonful of ground alum in pail of
water; dip the cloth into this, wiring out
as nearly dry as possible aud steam the
curtains through this-by laying the
cloth on the curtain-with hot fiat iron,
using a waxed rag to rub the iron on to
| prevent its sticking. These curtains are
usually all cotton, the colors are not
fast, and any attempt to clean them with
] water is apt to run the colors.

CHANGES.

Whom first we love, you know we seldom wed
Time rules us all And Life, indeed, Is not
The thing we planned 1t out ere hope was dead
And then we women cannot choose our lot.
Much must be borne " hich 1t is hard to bear;
Much given away which it is sw ct to keep.
God help us all " no need indeed, his care
And yet know the shepherd loves his sheep
My little boy begins to babbe now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer.
He has his fathers eager eyes, know,
And they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And can feel his light breath come and go,
think of one (heaven help and pity meD
Who loved me, and whom l loved, long ago.
Who might have been All, what dare
not think!
We all are changed, God judges for us BEST
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in heaven humbly for the rest.
But blame us women not, If some appear
Too cold at times, and some too gay and light
Some grlefs gnaw deep. Some woes are hard TO
bear.
Who knows the past and who can judge us
right?
All, were we judged by what we might have
AND not by what we are, to apt too fall
My little child-he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts and me. In heaven we shall
know all.

For Christmas.

A PRETTY PLAQUE.-Take wooden
plate Chose with the scalloped edge)
and placea saucer in the center. Draw
a circle round the saucer and remove.
Now for the inside of the circle paint a
pretty landscape, flowers or fruit.
KEY RACK-A wooden key about ten
inches long gilded or stained at the ends
and around the edges, strip of velvet
or plush in some pretty color glued
down the stem, into which five or six
small brass hooks are screwed. The key
is ornamented with bow of satin ribbon
tied around the handle, and hung length
wise on the wall by slender brass
chain, This is very convenient for keep
ing small keys in place.
PHOTOGRAPH HOLDER.-Cover
triangular-sh board with pink plush.
Place upon it, in the shape of a triangle,
small, gilded clothespins, laying them
flat on the board with the opening side
ways. Tack on the pins from back of
the board so as to conceal the way they
are held in position. Hang with broad
satin ribbon from two points and place
large bow on the front of the bottom
point. This frame is particularly
adapted for very small pictures.
SEWING MACHINE CATCH-ALL.-
From ticking cut a strip about five
inches wide and fifteen inches long.
Cover the white stripes (they should be
quite narrow with fancy stitches in
bright zephyrs, the blue stripes with
satin ribbon q used scarlet satin and
scarlet wooD, and line the bag at the
top or opening, with satin to match the
general tone of the material used. |
made fancy fringe by sewing on
lengths of the wool and ribbon across
the lower edge, and hung it to the
machine with hangers of the ribbon
used to cover the stripes. 1t is most
useful little affair and saves good deal
of litter about the room.

What a Singer Can Eat.
Ladies' Home Journal..1

AS to diet, the girl who wants to be a
singer should avoid sweets of all kinds.
There is nothing better than food of the
plaine st kind. Pastry, nuts, almonds,
raisins, pickles, rich sauces are simply
poison to singer. All these are indi-
gestible, and singer, above all people.

which digests easily. Never eat closer

especially grapes. The voice is regulat-
ed by the health of the possessor, and
just as she takes care of that or neglects
it will she make a success or failure. A
good voice cannot come from an I'm.

were inseparable, they are good health
and good voice. With the former, the
latter is possible; without it, vocal ex-

Fa ShiOn Notes,

New designs for girls frocks are
OF warm wooden stutfs-cashmere,
camel's-hair, cloth, and the fleecy rough
finished fabrics.
Fur is very popular for trimming, the
high price of sealskin has brought many
of the lower-priced furs to the fore.
Persian lamb, astrakhan, moufflon and
monkey are all popular.
A very handsome fringe, which is
stylish this season, is composed of mar
row black satin ribbon and jet, the pend
ants forming the fringe falling from mar
row satin ribbon studded with nailheao s.
A comfortable cloak for girls of four
to eight years is of ladies' cloth warmly
lined, with fur trimming, tan, cadet blue,
or reseda green cloth trimmed with
brown mink or beaver, or else with the
fieecy Mongolian fur-white, black, or
colored-to match the cloth. The yoke
is shallow and pointed, the high collar is
a straight band covered with fur, and
full bishops sleeves fall on deep cuffs
edged with fur. Braces of the cloth
cross in the back below the yoke, and
lap in front at the waist line. The soft
crowned Florentine cap is bordered with
fur, and has pompon of ostrich feathers
with an aigrette in the center.
School frocks of cashmere, vigogne, or
plaid wool for girls of eight to fourteen
years have a widely belted waist invisi-
bly, hooked under the front gathers, and
full gathered skirt. The waist is
gathered below the throat, and under
the belt in front and back. The skirt of
three breadths of double-width goods
(for girls of twelve years. is gathered to
the waist permanently. A separate belt
reaching almost to the armpits in corse-
let fashion, is well lined and may be
whaleboned, and is nearly covered with
rows of black soutache, it is laced in
front through eyelet-holes. The sleeves
are shirred to ruilie at the wrist, and
rows of braid are set on the shirring
The turnedover collar is also trimmed
with braid.

The trustees of Bakersfield academy
have been notified that Mrs. Sarah B :.
Jacobs, native of Bakersfield and sis
ter of Peter Brent Brigham, the founder
of the academy, who died in Boston last
week, has willed $95, 900 to the academy
as an endowment fund. p. B. Brigham
at his death 10 1877 left $50, 900 as a
school fund for Bakersfield, his native
town; in 1873 Mrs. Jacobs gave $4,000
towards erecting an academy, and soon
after Mrs. S. Jane (Brigham) Kendall, a
niece of Mr.. Brigham and Mrs. Jacobs,
added $4,000 to the building fund.
These handsome gifts to Brigham acade-
my are now supplemented by an endow-
ment much larger than that of any other
Johnsbury academy.

One of the best remedies for chapped
hands, from which women suffer in win
ter, is camphor ice. This is made of three
drains of camphor gum, three of white
beeswaX, three of spermacetti, and two
ounces of olive oil. Put these together
in a cup and set them In pan of boiling
water on the stove, where they will
melt slowly and form a white ointment.
This is an excellent preparation for
chapped lips as well as hands. 1t may
be used by women who have dry COM
plexion and TO whom therefore gly cerine
is irritating. Vaseline should never be
applied to the face by woman because
of its tendency to induce the growth of
hair. Experienced nurses and physi-
clans say that the annoyance which
many women suffer from super fiuons
hair on their faces has been caused by
the use of vaseine. There is no such
danger from the use of camphor ice,
cold cream or glycerine. The old-fash-
Toned preparation which our grandmoth-
ers used for whitening tanned hands
must not be forgotten. 1t consists of
two cakes of Windsor soap scraped to a
powder, wine glass of Farina eolongue
and one of lemon juice. These ingredi-
ents were mixed together and the mass
was nodded into a cake and left to dry.

quarts instead of pounds, and sometimes
in wineglassfuls, tumberfuls, etc, the
following table will be found useful If
pasted on the f1y-leaf of the recipe-book
you generally use: A common-sized
tumber holds half pint. A common
sized wineglass holds half gill. A
quart of sifted -four equals one pound.
A quart of cornmeal equals one pound
two ounces. One quart of butter is
equivalent to two pounds; one quart OF
powdered sugar to one pound seven
ounces; one quart of graduated sugar
to one pound nine ounces. Butter ''the
