SOMETHING ABOUT CUSHIONS.

The summer season makes 4 multitude
of cushions about the house especially
desirable. In covering cushions metallic
embroideries are not good to use, because
they tarnish and do not wear we'll. En-
broideries of filoselle silk or fax are the
best to use for work of this kind; floss
is too apt to fray. If cushion has a
very fine cover good plan is to make a
simpler outside covering of PONCE in
order to protect it.
Wash cases are altogether the best for
summer wear, and these can be made
either in linen, holland or chintz. The
best filling for cushions is certainly down
or feathers; excelsior is often used, but
1t is apt to knot after while.
Paper cut or torn into small shreds is
also very good as substitute for down,
and has the advantage of being cooler.

Ancient Ways of Rebuking Liars.

Our Saxon forefathers had many meth
DDS of rebuking liars and boosters, and
three object lessons in reproof have come
down in proverb to our time. One was
the presentation of cake to confirmed
prevaricator, whence the proverb, "He
takes the cake" At feasts large
wooden knife was sometimes provided
by the host to be presented to the most
outrageous boaster of the company, and
by him to he retained until he found a
braggart more intolerable than himself.
The third was the presentation of
whalebone to man noted for lack of re-
gard for the truth, as Il hint that he
would need to sharpen his invention if
he intended to continue in the business.
A s.anderer was sometimes set in the
pillory with a whitstone hung about
his neck, the whetstones of three cen
turies ago being provided with hole,
and by means of cord were hung from
the belts of butchers and other persons
who were Obliged frequently to use
them.-CAicaso Mail.

THE FANS OF 1891.

The summer gown is not complete
without fan which blends with it. A
pretty fan, to be carried with black net
dress, is one made of black gauze on
which the feur de lys is painted. The
sticks are of black shell. Another pretty
black gauze fan has silver sticks, and
embroidered all over the fan in silver
threads are huge butterflies, silver tinsel
being used for their wings.
One fan is made of white silk, with
black point lace butterflies upon it. The
sticks are Of mother of pearl, and here
and there upon them is tiny butterfly
done in black enamel. A fan which
blends we'll with violet gown is of
green gauze. Painted over the lower
part are violets, peeping out from be-
meath green leaves. This fan is not very
large, and does not close. The handle
is of gold, with bunch of five purple
enamel violets with diamond centerS for
its top.
Many of the fans to be used this sum-
mer are covered with jeweled bugs.
Fans made Of dark shades of silk will
have upon them strauge-looking beetles
with jeweled wings. A very dainty fan
is half of shirred crepe lisse. Where the
shirrlng ends is indicated by fine silver
thread. The upper part of the hn is
silk, with pink clover and its green
leaves painted upon it. The stems car
be seen through the shirring, and the
clover looks as if it was just lifting up its
head to peep out at the world from tho
shirred crepe. The handle is silver. A
fan made of yellow marabout feather:
has sticks of black shell. In one can bt
seen the face of q tiny gold watch
While ostrich feather fans, with pear
handles and the owners initials formed

handle, are in vogue. -NeD Nr1 he

More tailor like suits have the plain

two or three graduated layers or in plaits,
with stitching, silk or braid piping on

cloth of the prominent shade in figured
goods. Revers are worn again on tailor
gowns, and travelling dresses are as near
these as any. Plain front, fan back and
stitched edges form the skirt part of thu
above suit. Vests and revers of silk
braided in tinsel are seen in dressy gowns
of camel's hair or chcviot intended for
short journeys.
A rough cloth, showing gray, blue and
fawn has the skirt and coat basque cut
in tabs over plating of fawn cloth,
which is used as piping for the tabs.
The vest is of the cloth, with fawnish

Accessories OF THE CHATELAINE.

ACCESSORIES OF THE CHATELAINE.
The accessories of the chatelaines have
become very comprehensive. A silver
walnut or an acorn contains a powder
and powder puff; white mouse with
jeweled eyes contains sweet odor; a
guinea pig is filled with salve for the lips
and in addition to these is net!ed purse,
a silver tablet, watch, pencil, glove
buttoner and pincushion. Many of
them are also furnished with chime of
little silver bells: thus the wearer, like
the lady of the nursery rhymes who had
rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
is furnished with music wherever she
goes, providing she wears her chatelainc.
