One of the fads OF the present season. saws
/ the New York Herald, and one which
promises to become more or less popular
among the ladies, Is the manufacture of
their own trimmings for underwear
In England and France during the last
season, at the afternoon teas and at the
| meetings Of ladies' clubs and societies. the
making of lace was distinctly popular.
| The ladies who visited abroad have come
| home bringing with them dainty patterns,
aud the disease is sure to spread. The knit
ting and crochetlng Of lace Is the most liked
of these occupations. The dainty, cobwebby
| patterns which our grandmothers used to
create with two knitting needles and spool
| OF hne linen thread are all being revived
| and from them the ingenious fair ones are
evolving new and more intricate patterns.
A young society lady who is to become a
bride Just after next Easter announces with
| pride that she is to make all the lace for her
trousseau with her own fingers. More than

These + air ladies have been in the habit of
being busy at nothing. They simply utilize
time which otherwise would 90 to waste. Is
itnot rather to the young lady's credit to

Another picture incident OF a slightly
| different character IS related by a BROOKLYN
| woman, says a writer in the New York
| Times. Ny cook, Norah, appeared in my
| room the other day with picture which a
man at the basement door was endeavoring
| to sell to her. 1t was large one of the
Shanghai species, bright In color, and put
up in SNOWY, lacquered frame. Norah ex-
| planned that she was about taking up rooms
| for her father and mother and thought she
| would like few pictures, and wanted my
| judgment on the wisdom of purchasing
this one. As it was pleasing combination
| of mountain, valley, river and ruined
tower, pretty in color and restfuI to the eye,
told Norah thought she could venture to
take it at its price, 81 rs. An hour later
had occasion to visit the kitchen. Norah's

Modern society has welcomed common

dress, writes John Lambert Payne in an at

| Men Defer Marriage" in the Ladies' Home
| journal. 1t would seem that the time is
| opportune for a wiiesprend outbreak or
| common-sense marriages. AT all events, If
q change from the present stagnation is to
be effected, three things seem to me neces-
sary; First, there must be popular know

large must think, aud third, there must be
| action.
Among famous women who were mothers
of small families, says the New York Sun,
comes Elizabeth Barrett Browning, wno
had only one son. Mrs. Somerville the
mathematician. had two daughters aud one
| son only though she was twice married.
Mme. George Sands had two children, a
son and a daughter; SO had Lady Mary
| Montagu, whose letters" are so admired
in our own literature, and Mme de Sevigne,
writer of equally famous "letters'' in
French. Nine. de Stael had three children
in her early married life; when As years old
she married a second time and then had
another son. George Eliot Mrs. Cross was
chlldless, and so was Mrs. Craik, the author
of John Halifax" Mrs. Barbauld, whose
prose and poetry were both much admired
in the last century, had no children, and

met a face to-day in the crowded city street,
And cannot get 1t out Of my heart. it was so
sweet.
Not that the curves were faultless nor the col
oring pink and white,
Not that the eyes were like the eyes of which
| men owe TO write,
| Not that the brow was finely shaped or beau
titui the nav.
But 0, for the gentleness that dwelt like the
smile of angels there
That tender light in the steady eyes-it lingers
with me yet
Those calm, true eyes, full oft, l know, with
tears of sorrow wet;
| That tender mouth, so womanly in its gentle,
sweet repose,
That faint pink tint in her pale. thin face
Like the flush of q sweet Wild rose.
Pure as a lily know she is for into my soul
there came
| As passed her by in the crowded street a sud
den leaplng flame,
| A quickened honor for womanhood-a rever-
enee deep and strong,
| And my world.worn heart with its heavy cares
grew light and full OF song.
And ever since then through the passing hours
and now in the SOLEMN night
| That pure, true face with its womanly eyes is
making my sad life bright,
| And ever since then there's peace within, and
uew-found Joy complete
| God bless the woman / met to-day in the
crowded city street.
