kettle on the stove. She asked the cook
what was boiling in the kettle. and the

The embroidered Hungarian apron
bids fair to rival the Turkish saddle bags
for novelty in furniture upholstering.
The other day We ran across an excel
lent suit in these goods. covered by a
fashionable New York upholsterer. The
'apron" itself is woven and embroidered
quite deliberately and is about the size
for chair seat. Ii has long twisted
cord fringe, the warp Of about two feet
hanging down. When the chair is COW
cred the fringe from the seat hangs to
the floor aud is trimmed off. On the
back another apron is used and the
fringe hangs over, giving stylish cord
ed valance in the rear. The lounge Of
the suit was covered with two in seat
and two in back, one each being on the
arms. The long graceful trimming was
quite effective. .-Clothier and Furnisher.

Heliotropes are represented in the color

the darkest and Perse the lightest:
salome is heliotrope with blush tinge.
The blne family has ten representatives,
OF which the well known ciel, or sky
blue. is the lightest, and marine blue the
darkest. Bluet is expected to become a
very fashionable color, and libelule. a
grayish blue, will also lie much worn.
Few new shades are found among the
reds. The light coquelicot is already
