Ask a lady whether she will take some
ice cream, and nine times out of ten she
will answer no, and at the same time mean
yes. Ask another if she will have some
thing to eat, and she'll reply that she isn't
hungry. No lady will admit that she is
hungry. Indeed, it would be dangerous
TO be in the vicinage of hungry woman.
Now, it wouldn't do to call this telling
an untruth 1t is better to style it prevar

Things for a Pretty Bed.

Sheets are hemstitched, and if a mono
gram is embroidered upon them it is a
very small one, and is done in white cotton
and placed just near the corner. A very
beautiful pair of curtains specially EN-
broidered to be put on a Chippendale bed
stead are of boiling cloth, and show upon
The upper ones punches of peoples here
and there, while the lower ones display
purple, pink and pale blue morning glories,
as if to call the sleeper to arise and go
forth, for they were awake with the sun.
Night dress cases are occasionally seen on
the beds, but are much oftener put on the
small square stool that stands just at the
foot of the bed, and upon which one is sup
posed to sit when shoes and stockings are
assumed.
The cases are no longer made of linen,
but are very large scented sachets, either
of brocade silk or boiling cloth suitably
embroidered. They exhale the favorite
perfume of the gentle lady, and in this
way the robe in which she sleeps is made
daintily odorous. Some notices for cases
made of boiling cloth are these: "Sleep thy
fill and take thy soft repose," "Sleep in
peace and wake in joy" Let me sleep
and do not wake me yet" Might bids
sleep. Home Journal.

The Long and Short Stitch.

Long and short stitch is only another
name for the same variously known as
long, Kensington feather stitch mot feath-
err stitching), etc. 1t is the stitch used in
shaded leaves and flowers, in which the
stitches are made to dovetail in order that
the hues may blend more intimately
Hence it is worked in varying lengths,
some long and some short 1t is a simple
stitch taken in n slanting direction up
ward with the needle brought out again
where the next stitch is to begin. In work
ing a leaf or flower petal the outer part is
worked first in stitches whose outer ends
form a close even outline at the edge, but
which form a broken line toward the cen
ter the stitches being one long and the
next short.
Next comes a row of stitches which fit in
between the preceding ones, then the cen
ter is filled out with stitches radiating from
the vein of the leaf or from the narrow
part of the petal. When the petal is fin.
ished the rows of stitches should be SO
blended that they cannot be distinguished.

Worn out shoes Have Their Uses.

Worn out shoes have their uses. The
Italian scavenger who rakes up your ash
barrel and sends the dust flying over your
door step knows this well, and his black
eyes glisten at the sight of old leather. If
the shoes are not worn to shreds he sells
them to a second hand dealer, and they
are patched mp and resoled; but if they
are past mending he takes them home to
his cellar and rips them all apart, or his
wife and children do. The pieces he sells
to a manufacturer. From the larger pieces,
after being soaked till soft, the uppers of
childrens shoes are cut. The soles are cut
into small pieces to make up the layers of
the heels of other shoes; the iron pegs that
are not bent can be used over again, and
the little scraps that are left after all this
are subjected to treatment that makes
them all one pliable mass, from which a
kind of artistic leather is rolled out This
is used for covering chairs, books, trunks,
boxes, etc. Many fancy patterns are
stamped on it, and the trade in this kind
of embossed" leather in the United States
is well established one.-New York Trib-

MY PALACE.

High over the lamppost, high over the street,
Remote from the traffic, its rush and its beat,
Meath a sky now o'erclouded, now sunny and
blue
dwell in the stiffness, my dear one, with you.
My windows are grimy, my walls they are bare,
A wreck is my table, ruin my chair
Yet prize them far better than if they were
new,
For they tell me- my dear one, they tell me of
you'll
Untroubled by visitors, tranquil brood,
At the chimney tops level folk seldom intrude;
And heed them but little if ever they do,
For I'm talking my dear one, still talking to you
Then as dust over gable and roof hovers near,
And the first star is family beginning to peer,
Half song, half sigh, the dim easement steals
through,
And the angel who breathes it, my dearest is
you. -Cornhil Magazine

and loving foresight, which go to make up
daily comfort and happiness. Naturally as

Mrs Anna Bulkeley-Hills, Miss Emily
Winant and Mrs. Theodore Toedt, next to
Miss DE We're, are probably the best known
and most popular church choir singers in
this city. Mrs. Hills is the wife of pros
porous physician.
Mrs. Theodore Toedt as Miss Ella Earle
made an enviable reputation both in
church and oratorio work before 1888,
when she married the famous tenor of St.
Bartholomew choir. This good name she
has continued to maintain. Several years
ago Mrs. Toedt was the most sought after
soprano in the city for concert engage
ments. For several years past she has
been the solo soprano in Mr. Warren's
choir, where her husband is engaged.
Miss Emily Winant, the renowned con
tralto of St. Thomas choir, was born in
Brooklyn, and has filled her present place
under DIR. G. w. Warren for the past thir-
teen years. She made her debut in concert
in Steinway hall in 1878. She has been the
principal contralto in three festivals of the
Haydn and Handel society in Boston, and
has also appeared many times in the sym
phonies under Henschel and Goriche. In
New York she has sung at the Philhar-
monte as we'll as at many other concerts
and in oratorio under Theodore Thomas,
and she has appeared in the various large
cities throughout the country
Miss Winant made a successful debut in
Albert Hall, London, in oratorio, and sang
in many orchestral and chamber concerts
under Sir Charles Halle. She also sang in
Dresden with great success.-New York
