Decoration katis.

Some One AYERS that the reign of brio
a-brac is oy9:, and the rooms of the rich
and great collectors are being cleared of
their costly trash. SO it may be, for it
is time to change when the nobodies
decorate their quarters with make be-
heves in art But, i'll abandoning brio
a-brac for house ornament, another di-
rection is given TO its display, and this is
the dinner table. While such exquisite
glass and china exist it will not be rele-
gated to the closets. In Paris the fashion
in table decoration has reached point
that places it among the arts. Dishes of
the rarest workmanship, the antiques
which formerly reposed in a special cab
met under glass, are now brought forth
and actually used on the table.
They hold fruits, and in their turn are
surrounded by wreaths of roses and vio-
lets, crowned, as it were, for the time
being. Traceries of flowers are scattered
all over the tablecloth, and among them
are placed precious porcelains, priceless
old Saxony ware, figurines worthy of
some toy shop i'll the spheres, so the table
present "a poetic confusion of porcelain
figures aud flowers" while at the ends
rise those tall stemmed crystal vases that
look like arrested fountains filled with
exotics. Such, then, is one phase of this
new scheme of decoration in establish
ments where taste and money have been
expended in ceaseless collections. Brio
a-brac est mort! Vive la bric-a- brac!-

Literary Widows.

1t seems an interesting coincidence that
Mrs. ''Stonewall" Jackson should be in
New York arranging for the publication
Of the memoirs of her husband, the dis
tinguished Confederate general, at this
time, when the memoirs of Jefferson
Davis, by bis widow, have just appeared.
The literary ability of the wives of great
men is evidently not generally known
until they become widowed. Mrs. Grant,
it is said, will soon have ready for the
publisher what she knows about the life
of her distinguished husband, and there
has been great deal Of talk about Mrs.
Sheridan's book on her gallant husband.
The family of General Sherman still
refuse to put his private papers in the
market, but no soldiers widow, when
that soldier has filed great place in the
history Of his country, need of a surety
to be discouraged in undertaking to pub
lsh his memoirs after the wonderful re-
ception Mrs. Davis book has met with
everywhere. Mrs. Jackson is a rather
portly, modest and exceedingly intelli-
gent little lady, whose only daughter,
Julia, was married not long ago, and
who has no household cares now to pre-
vent her devoting the remainder of her
life to the memory of ''Stonewall" Jack
son.-New York World.

WOman's Latest Triumnh.

The man who ''saws wood and says
nothing" is regarded by many as about
the highest type Of American manhood
Of course this silent citizen does not saw
wood for fun, nor merely for his health.
1t is doubtful, however, if he ever sawed
to better purpose than did young wom-
an in Columbus, Ind, few days ago, to
whom a merchant of that place offered
twenty yards of silk for a dress if she
would saw half cord of wood in front
of his store. She borrowed saw and
went through the wood pile in exactly
three hours, and the admiring crowd
bought her twelve dollar hat to go with
the dress. The compensation was liberal,
and the young woman had the satisfac-
ton of showing, in the language of Sam
Patch, that ''some things can be done as
well as others. indianapolis Journal.

Acting a HYMN,

At the reception recently given at DIR.
Cuyler's residence to the Cambridge
club, the exclusive woman's club Of
Brooklyn, Of which Mrs. John K. Creevy,
of Greene avenue, is president, the
guests were much interested in per-
Torrance by Nine. Albert, the Delsart-
can exponent. To the music on piano
Of Nearer, My God, to Thee" Nine.
Albert gave the hymn in the natural
language which humanity might en-
ploy if word and sign symbols were un-
known. To the accompanying chords of
the melody she performed fitted facial
and figure movements which remarkably
expressed the spirit of the hymn. 1t was
curious and most interesting as showing
the power of othNr than voice expression,
but, as one of the listeners put it, 81
longed for her to burst into song."--

A New York Society Wedding.

A wedding that excited much peculiar
interest occurred recently, when Miss
Pomeroy became Mrs. John Stevenson.
The 'happy man-elect" is the head
waiter at the Murray Hill hotel, but the
occasion derives its right to be men
toned among society items from the
fact that Miss Pomeroy is young, pretty,
of excellent family and position and, in
the eyes of many, the possessor of a still
more unquestionable charm-$2O, 900 a
year income John Stevenson, who is a
quiet, well hammered young Scotchman,
has been head waiter at the hotel since
it opened, and Miss Pomeroy has been
guest there for the same length of time.
All the other guests manifested the
most vivid interest in this romantic love
affair.-Mattie Sheridan in Epoch.

Then Sigoarneys Gossip with Bou-

a waltz, :'Just One Rose" was played
during this dance. The solo LA Fan.

Miss Brown used floral sickle and har.
vested the mems hearts in her dance.
In the ''Summe-" dance each maiden
represented flower. All wore green
KID slippers, green stockings and carried
huge lunches of their favorite blossoms

The marches, countermarches and
dancing of this bouquet of beauty was
the greatest success of the evening.
In introducing the dance of Autumn
Miss Collins recited Sir Walter SCOTS
Hunting Song."a happy quotation, for
the girls in this dance wore the regula-
ton riding habit, with shiny silk hats,
and carried hunting crops, while the men
wore pink hunt coats, riding trousers and
spurred boots.
The solo ''The Chase" was danced by
Miss Julia Opp. In one of the evolutions
of the Autumn dance the young wom-
en- and men jumped, in a merry rush, a
succession of fo,al hurdles.
One of 7. B. Aldrich's verses was the
prelude to the ''Ninter" dance A reel
tation Of E. c. Stedman's Country
Sleighing" followed, with original music
by Miss Collins. The solo of this dance
was called FThe Boa," and was danced
by Miss Lillian Burt. It was so named
because Miss Burt waved, swung and
twisted a long, white boa around her
arms, her shoulders and her head in a
most bewitching way. Jingling sleigh
bells and realistic snowfall were Incl
dents Of the dance.
The music for Miss Burt's dance was a
new gavotte, "The Cherry Diamond"
composed b. Miss Harriet Estelle Brown
for the occasion.
The "Winter" dance was followed by
recitation, 'The Song of the Spirit"
by Miss Collins, with a choral effect by
a male quartet.
Then, as the curtain fell, the four lead
ers of the dances, Mrs. W. J. Swan and
Misses Brown, Opp and Burt, danced to-
gether to the music Of the Cherry Dia-
mond Gavotte," while the other charac-
tiers were grouped in grand tableau.-

An Appeal to Women Writers,

Mr.. James Payne, in England, be.
means the thoughtlessness of the strange
ladies who write to him without letting
him know whether they are single OF
married. For it seems that these ladies
are offended when he wrongly addresses
them as either "Mrs." or ''Miss." To
this wall from the English writer might
be added one from the American re-
viewer, who would often be glad to
know whether the Mary Smith, whose
new novel has come into his hands, is
a spinster or not. If he reviews her
work at any length he may wish to refer
to the author by name.
To speak of her simply as Mary Smith
implies greater familiarity than the case
seems to warrant. If he speaks of her as
Mrs. Smith, he may provoke her anger
if she happens to be unmarried, or if she
is married she may be equally dis
pleased at being called Miss Smith.
Under either condition the reviewer
may gain for himself reputation for
1naccuracy. Cannot author and pub
Usher combine to give on the title page
some indication of the truth?-Helen
Leah Reed in Homemaker.

The SBell Skirt

Have you ever seen "bell skirt:
You will see it in force soon. In the
first place, there is only one seam IN
bell skirt, and that is a very conspicuous
and slanting one from the hem to the
belt in the back of the skirt From the
waist half way down to the knees the
skirt fits as close as a calyx to its rose.
Not plat, not pucker, not wrinkle
down asserts itself. 1t would seem that
the skirt was stretched into the band
instead of plated in, according to the
timeworn way of making skirts. Then,
from just above the knees that bell skirt
begins to flare in some mysterious magic
way all at once, until it hangs In full
folds about the feet, and the train
spreads out on the ground like an enor
NOUS fan. No decoration desecrate'
this strange skirt, not frill or band o.
tiny cord, and the lining is exactly TIT
shape of the skirt and fitted in with 1t
not made in the form of a pettlcoat Wit
drapery like ordinary skirts. The m1h

A Bride with Many Friends.

A pretty idea, though hardly one that
would be feasible in the formal society
of New York, was that carried out for a
bride of the midwinter in one of the in
terror cities of the state. She had a
large circle of intimate friends, and
knowing that she was going to begin
housekeeping at once, they took posses
sion of the residence and fitted it COM
pletely. From her nearest relatives
came the more expensive silver and
furnishings, but down to the matchbox
in the kitchen the belongings of the
home were the carefully studied con-
tributions of friends. The young brides
Sunday school class took a graceful hand
in the proceedings, and all friends found
at least small niche to hold an Offering.
Life in a home Of such composite friend
ship must have an added charm. Her

Flowers were everywhere, indeed,
every woman among the spectators wore
or carried them, and the girls in the
class dances, as well as those who had
the ''star" parts, were pelted with any
quantity of fragrant buds. The floral
carnival reached its height in the 'sSum-

sented flower and wore brave show
of her chosen blossom. The flowers
were worn in profusion that was reck-
less-one maid was adorned with thou

The entertainment was one of the
most successful ever given by amateurs
in this city. It was something entirely

and Rotations. The Spirit Of the Sea-

METHODIST WOMEN BARRED OUT.
The New York Conference Refuses to
! Receive Them as Members

The New York Conference Refuses to
Receive Them as Members.
Women crowded to the sixth days ses-
sion of the New York Methodist confer
ence in the First Methodist Episcopal
church, Yonkers, for they were greatly
interested in the question under discus
sion, "Shall women be admitted to the
conference" They went away vastly
disappointed, for the result of the ballot
ing dashed their hopes.
Rev. G. Eel. Smith first spoke on the
great question of the day. He favored
the admission Of women to the confer
ence, and declared there was nothing in
Scripture which would debar women
from the convention or from sharing in
the highest honors of the church.
W. Fl. McAnney spoke against the
ladies, who eyed him unfavorably. He
said home was the place for women; the
conference for men. He asked the mem
bers to vote against their admission.
W. Ell. Mickle addressed the meeting
on tue affirmative side Of the question,
but DR.. McChesney took the other. He
questioned the advantage the conference
en-. He said that the world had heard
great deal about the rights of women,
but nothing as to what will be accom-
plished by their admission to the confer
ence. He asked if the conference would
call for volunteers for the army would
women enlist? This, he said, they could
not do, as it would be against nature.
and 1t would be equally unnatural to let
them into the conference. DR.. McChesney
closed his remarks thus: eff we make
this change, whatever may be the result,
it will cause the people of other churches
to look at 1t as strange and outlandish
action. 1t will ALLEVIATE many of our best
Methodist families from the church."
Rev. j. 0. Stone said: eve live in an
age that is moving. [ have never known
that the sex question has been brought
up IN the administration of government
in Europe, nor has woman's intellect
uallty been questioned. More than half
who have pledged themselves to go into
foreign lands as missionaries are women.
So women are taking part in the for
ward movement of the world. Let us
view this question calmly; let US not tilt
against it as so many Quixotes with
lances poised"
DR.. Day followed in the same strain.
DR.. George N. McGraw was also in
favor Of admitting the women. He said
that there was not passage in the Script
ures forbidding their presence in the
conference, and he wished them there on
that account and because of their major
ity in the church. Two-t thirds Of its men,
bers were women.
eve are told" said Rev. P. j. Ror-
nance, chat if the women are not ad-
mitted into the general conference they
will form a new church. If they are adj
mitted bad results will follow. So, choos-
ing the lesser of the two evils, shall
vote against their admission"
Rev. A. Fl. Ferguson said he should
vote on the sisters side of the question.
When the debate ended Bishop Fitz-
gerald announced that the voting would |
proceed. 1t was an open ballot by yeas
and nays. Two hundred and forty-two
members yoted-180 against and GO in
favor of the proposition.-New York |

Got q @75 Pearl with His Dinner.

Edward Malley was eating dinner at
Heublein's recently, and among the first
dishes served was oysters on the half
shell. He picked Up one of the oysters
with his fork from the shell, and his eye
was attracted by white substance which
had been concealed under the oyster. 1t
was pearl of extraordinary size and ex-
oeptionally fine quality, although it was
entirely in the rough state. 1t was ex-
amined by several gentlemen who wero.
present, and it was universally conceded
to be remarkable gem. Mr.. Mallev
placed its value at S75, and this estimate
was accepted as being none too high.
He proposes to have it finished up and
mounted. The oyster in which the gem
was found came from one of the local
dealers and was taken from bed in the
Sound.-New Haven Register.
