CORRESPONDENCE.

CADE TEX, Oct. l. 1891.
| wish to say through your columns that
life is too precious to destroy with kerosene
There is no need if any one will adopt my
plan, and shall be much obliged if you
will print this:
The best way to kindle fire with this
oil IS to take quart cup, any old can will
do, and fill it with ashes, either coal or
wood, wet them with the oil and stir with
an old tablespoon. To kindle the fire put a
spoonful of the mixture in the stove. lay on
little small wood to catch; it will sur
prise you how long the flame will last. 1t
Is safe used in this way and always ready.
Mrs. V. T. KNOWLES.
The directions are pub lished as requested,
and the use of kerosene in this way may be
safe; it is certainly not in any other. The
preparation is convenient, but for perfect
security there is nothing to rival fine split
pine kindlings, and to split this is good ex-
ercise for the man of the house.

A commendable tendency 70 tighten the
weight of wool fabrics is noticeable in
early ;mportations of autumn and winter
dress goods. The warm, rich lock is re
tanned by ribs or cords, by Grape or fieecy
finish. but the stuffs generally are more
lightly woven. their pure wool insuring
sufficient warmth for the coolest weather
Another obvious tendency is toward light
shades of color, of beige, gray, pearl and
coral, and it is said white cloth dresses will
be worn all winter. For walking dresses,
however, the Paris modistes are selecting
dark chataigne or chestnut brown cloths,
various chrysanthemum shades of purplish
red and gray blue, dark mouse color, green
of both olive and emerald hues, and also
black woolens plaided with purplish red,
or striped or marbled with green, hello
trope, pomme dor or porcelain blue. Plain
colors remain, as always, the safest choice
both for service and refined effect but
figured goods abound in pastilles, in
stripes, in crossbars and in marbled de-
signs.-Harp"r's Bazaar.

The English porcelsins, including Crown
Derby, Royal Worcester, Doulton, ETC.,
are. it may be said, in high favor. Notable
among these is Crown Derby, we'll known
among counosseurs for the brillancy and
purity of its coloring, Its ground colors
are rich, and the gliding, jeweling and
enameling of the ornamentation most
handsome. A crown and two DIS re-
versed represents the mark of this china.
Perhaps the best examples of Crown Derby
are in the exquisite eggshell vases, which
vary in design and decoration from sump-
tuous oriental colorings and form to the
most refined classic shapes and ornament.
Our cut. reproduced from The jewelers.
Circular, is characteristic example of Il
handsome Crown Derby vase In this
ware, ochre, maroon, turquoise blue and
amber are included among colors employed
as backgrounds. with gold ornamentation
in striking relief.

Household Hints,

Salt tongue should be soaked over night,
and then cooked from five 20 six hours.
Throw it into cold water when done, and
peel off the skin, then slice.
In cooking beets leave at least two inches
of the top, and do not break off the little
fibers or the juices will be lost.
To remove rust from knives cover the
blades with sweet oil for a day or two and
then rub with lump of lime.
Salt and vinegar used hot will brighten
copper and brass kettles.
A little boraX added TO cold starch is eX-
cellent for giving additional stiffness
A tight shoe may sometimes be made
easy by laying a cloth wet in hot water
across where it pinches, CLEANSING several
times. The leather will shape itself to the
foot.

braided or embroidered crepe, makes a very
handsome street gown.


handsome street gown.
Among fall colorines green takes prom
inent place, and this applies not only to
dress but to millinery.
In millinery, jet ornaments continue, and
almost all the new shapes show more or
less jet in their garniture.
Goats and capes will both be worn this
fall. but the latter were turned out III such
quantities last spring that women OF taste
now prefer the coat.
The feather boas and the feather neck
trimmings which were fashionable last
spring are still more fashionable this fall,
and are seen in still greater varieties.
One of the preferred garnitures for rich
autumn dresses will be the new laces in
large raised designs, such as Richelieu lace,
English guipure and superb mosaique.
Name cards for dinner parties were never
so small as at present-in fact, they are
almost microscopic. A little bit of cream
colored rough-edged paper, with one corner
turned back and held in place with tiny
fork is the latest idea.
Fr:nges of silk cut Jet. shaped to deep
points front and back and tapering mar
rowly ON the sides, are much used to form
baSques to bodies. Stout women like these
fringes better than the basque of lace net,
or kits OF material matching the dress.

primroses or violets, powdered over the

A handbag suitable for workroom, parlor
or carriage use may be made of cream
colored coutil, thirty inches long and eight
inches wide Fold twenty of these inches
in two, leaving a projecting piece of ten
inches for the lapel at the top. This will
make one seam on each side. Shape the
extra piece at the top into triangle or
leaf. and slightly gather it across where it
extends beyond the bag. then pass it
through an ivory ring. by which it can be
suspended from the wall as desired. The
front of the bag is prettily embroidered
with vinelike design, with jewels inter
spersed here and there The bag should be
lined with the same color used in the EN-
broidery, q single tint being employed
Large squares of white or cream linen,
embroidered with cross stitch, are en-
ployed to form the centers of quilts, covers
for chests or drawers, chair backs, etc.
They are to be united and bordered with
crochet insertions and edgings, and are
decorated with central sprig or an all
over design in red aud blue cotton. As
they can be turned to account in a great
variety Of ways and can be easily carried
about without fear or injury, they are a
convenient form of fancy work
Sham towels, to be thrown over those in
use upon the rack, are embellished at one
end with quaint landscapes or figures
though the latest fancy displays garlands
of flowers, delineated with long stitch in
silks of natural colors.

STYLES FOR ELDERLY LADIES.

How to Be Well Dressed. Though Middle
Aged and Even Obese.
When figures have lost their youth and
graceful lines, and silver threads appear
among the tresses, it IS mistake to adapt
styles designed for the young to those of
ripper years. The best plan is to select from
among the fashions those which meet the
difficulty best. and to reconstruct on the
necessary grounds. Black is always safe,
but there are many colors which are be-
coming to skins and colorings of middle
life. Most reds suit fair women as well as

able. In mantles long sides prove to be a
great help to short, stout figures.
With hats and bonnets much must be
left to the individual. 1t is, however, adj
visable to disguise the nape of the neck and
the lines which will come beneath the chin.
This will make it necessary for bonnet to
be continued low down in the neck, and
strings made of black lace or chiffon should
be tied beneath the chin. 1t is only quite
old ladies who will reconcile themselves to
wearing strings to caps, but the same re-
suit may be produced by encircling the
throat with soft diaphanous materials.
Middle age should abjure linen collars In

mantles as W Il as dresses splendor of de-

Care must be taken in choosing the pat
terms of the materials worn By stout figures.
Horizontal lines must be most carefully
avoided; long straight panels diminish the
apparent size, and great care must be taken
in hanging the skirt. especially if it be a
plain one. Long shallow plaits ought to
be inserted at the back of the hips, and it
should be managed that few soft hori-
zontal folds fall about a quarter of yard
below the waist in front, Disgusting the
outlines of the figure. The present style
of cutting the skirt on the cross is help
in this class of dressmaking but striped
materials must not be chosen, and on no
account must the fabric be fitted to the
waist without plaits, as now worn by young
people. The cross cut materials are gener-
ally more elastic.
The best way of trimming bodice is to
have either braces or long revers on either
side, narrowing at the wsist, covering the
front darts. A stripe down the center
hiding the fastenings is also good. Long
graceful lines must be chosen in the ar
rangement of any drapery on the bodice
and short sleeveless jackets are to be
avoided. Polonaises skillfully managed
diminish the apparent size.
