or course there are some nice people
thank goodness for that-but the theater
fiend is a horror that is always with US,
and one that is thousand times worse
even than the poor In mind.
Have you joined a sewing class? Have
YOU gotten out last Lents ihHnble and
arranged a chateIaine with a pin-cushion
and pair of scissors and a si.yeT-mOunted
emory bag, and silver-backed needle
book as an evidence of your Industry
The best sewing class in New York is the
one that is held in the evening; the men
come to thread the needles and the SER
ers are only asked to haste, the stitching
being afterward given TO women who are
well paid for it. The money for this
comes from the dues paid not only by the
girls, but by the men who are invited,
and as they are tolerably heavy, there is
usually email sum left over,
which is divided among the
women who have done the work in
proportion TO their need for II. The
matrimonial boom generally rises during
Lent, when a man has an opportunity to
see a girl sew. She mayn't sew well--ln-
deed, she may sew very badly, but the
sharp-pointed needle is favorite weapon
OF Cupid's, and more times than can be
counted il has pierced heart and blinded
eyes to all charms save those OF one
woman. So you see the smart girl fully
understands the value of the sewing cir
Gle, and as it is the rule, in the best ones,
not to permit any gossip, the nasty, H.
natured little things that women are so
prone to say are not heard, and the aver
age man thinks the err of his heart a
creature most too bright and good for any
thing else except to belong TO him.
L
shown for Easter Day. They are small
and fat, have wreath of flowers under
the brim, are tied on in a pretty fashion.
and altogether make the wearer of them
look as if she had stepped out OF the very
old fashion plate. A remarkably pretty
one is to ne worn with black cloth gown,
over which is a MarqUise coat of black
brocaded with gold and trimmed with
gold braid and gold lace. This hat Is OF
the black straw and has nothing on top
except few loops of black velvet ribbon,
but underneath, resting on the hair, Is 8
thick wreath OF yellow cowslips; black
velvet ribbons tie this under the chin
Speaking Of the fashions, the continued
announcement that one-button gloves are
to be worn Is again announced. They are
not in vogue except for one style OF sleeve,
and that is the one which shapes in very
close to the arm below the elbow, fits
very close at the wrist, and comes down
n q long point over the hand, reaching
quite 10 the knuckles. The one-buttoa
glove worn with this is, however. longer
one than the one-butlon glove of olden
times. and though it is short, vet does not
permit the line of flesh TO show any place
With short sleeve that would permit
glove going up under it, such a fa'lr p1s
as wearing a one-button glove would SIM
ply stamp one as being very ignorant.
What are you going to deny yourself
during Lent Are you going to give up
all evil speaking and evil thinking? That
good resolve.
Are you going to give MP too much eat
ing and too much drinking? Its just as
well not to make god OF your stomach.
Are you going to give up slang and
sweetmeais? Neither OF them add very
much to yourself personally.
Are you going to give up fault-fndlng
and ugly words? Both OF them ruin the
shape of your mouth.
Are YOU going TO give up undesirable
books and undesirable people2 Neither
OF them are good companions.
Are you going TO give mp all the mean
little pettinesses of life and look out for
the great and good actsP Well, We will
all try TO, anyhow, and the trial is the
first step toward success, isn't 1t?
