MULLEN.

o mullen, growing on the roads rough side
With your warm mittens 'gainst the earth's
brown face,
Holding them fatty and as If you tried
To pat her cheeks with all an infants grace,
The raindrops stand like jewels on your leaf;
Its coat of wool feels not their gentle kiss
Goblets for fairies; yet the feast, how brief,
Nor would your felted floor their footsteps
miss
Hold up your candles to the travellers eyel
Your yellow blooms stand timidly apart;
For peerless beauty they may never try,
Yet find a loving place within the heart.
The eyes that knew them in the long ago,
When childhood's feet for luscious berries
roved,
Would miss along the hills thy candles glow,
Lighting the woodland paths SO known and
loved.

My little darling, close your eyes,
And you shall sail with me
Away to the Land of the Lullabies,
Across the Twilight Sea;
Past rock and shore and pebbly beach,
Where many a treasure CLEANS,
Until at last our ship shall reach
The beautiful Isle of Dreams.
And there my darling's home shall be
Forever and day;
While all around the azure sea
Shall toss its starry spray;
And the " hite winged angels Of the night
Shall WHOLE her wondrous themes;
For the Land of Heaven is just in sight
OF the beautiful Isle of Dreams.
So close your eyes, my Marguerite,
And you shall sail with me
Away to tho Land of the tireless feet,
Far over the Twilight Sea;
And there my darling shall abide
Where constant beauty beams;
For Love is king and he reigneth wide
ONE the beautiful Isle of Dreams.

HOME DRESSMAKING.
A GOOD WAY TO SHRINK WOODEN
DRESS GOODS.

The Proper Manner to Lay Plaits-Some
Hints for Amateurs on the Way to
Equip Themselves While at work-veI-
vet Bands for Skirts.
toni
NUMBER ~.
There is always one benefit in making the
tkirt proper am the lining separate, for
most wooden goods will shrink and where
they are sewn together the grace is soon
lost by the drawing up of the outside. To
obviate this, where it is preferred to have
them sewn together, the material should
be shrunk. To do this, unroll the material
twenty-four hours before you want to cut
it, and wiring out large towels from clear,
cold water and lay them along and fold
them tightly in with the cloth, which
should be rolled up for at least eighteen
hours, and then it will have shrunk all that
it can. Unfold it and spread it out to dry.
1t will require no ironing. 1t can be cut
while still damp, as it soon dries
The model for the foundation or the skirt
itself should measure forty-two inches
long, and the front top be ten inches across
and twenty across the.bottom. The width
of the side cores must necessarily depend
upon the size of the wearer, but each ought
to be about five inches at the top to
twelve at the bottom, which gives thirty
inches. If the lady is smaller, the top
seams can be rounded little to fit, or
narrow dart or two can be run in. A skirt
now should be about four yards around the
bottom. In all dresses the center of the
back is cut bias, which gives a graceful
hang.
Heavy goods require no trimming other
than stitching, but light, flmsy materials
may have plaits from top to bottom,
wrinkled or lifted drapery, ruflles ETC.,
and double skirts or Russian blouses.
Wherever there are to be plaits laid half
way up or from top to bottom they should
be pinned in their place on the figure.
This is why so few succeed in laying deep
plaits that will stay in place. They lay
them upon table or lapboard, and while
there they look well, but as soon as worn
hang all askew.
For mourning dresses the foundation
skirt cut after the model is hung over the
frame, and all plats and folds are to be
pinned on SO that they will hang exactly
