IA Matrimonial MASCOT.

Mrs. Mary Brown, colored, is matri-
monial mascot whe never fails to be on
hand at wedding events. She is aged
about fifty, married and has lived in
Jacksonville, Ind, since the war. 1t
is said that she has attended every we'd
ding solemnized in public places within
that time; how many she cannot recall,
but they number in the five figures. In
some instances she has been rendered
snvitations, but in the majority of cases
she. goes whether wanted or not. No
matter how fashionable the affair, nor
how crowded the edifice, she takes her
stand near the aisle and awaits the COM
ing of the bride and groom elect.
She is the first to leave the church,
and she will descant for weeks on the
loveliness of the bride and the manliness
of the groom. Many times she is not
wanted, but that is small matter
She has an irresistible desire to be pres
ent, and she cares little who objects.
She is hard working woman, support
ing husband by the sweat of her brow.

The streamers to Go.

Like the belle of one season, the hats
of this month present more complete
roundness of effect than the first buds
that burst upon our vision at Eastertide.
There is more of the suggestion of
summer about them. The vernal air is
gone, and the promise of rich July and
August fulfllment is seen now in essen
TALLY seaside and mountain chapeaux.
Young girls always look well in large
hats, and especially large white hats
Do you observe that on not one of the
very latest designs do streamers appear
If there ever was style so suddenly
and overwhelmingly popular, yet so gro
tesque in its misconception, we have yet
to hear of it, and though, as rule, heart
and hand in sympathy with fashions
widest freaks, we pray for speedy de-
lverance from the epidemic Of floating
ribbons in all colors, qualities and
lengths. Philadelphia Inquirer.

who Did whatY

In the days when our grandmothers
were girls there came occasionally into
the family of a good deacon with nine
children village dressmaker. She had
an absorbing interest in other peoples
affairs, and always looked forward with
particular pleasure to the week during
which she cut and fitted for the deacon's
girls, knowing that his house was in
some sort social center, where she was
likely to hear plenty of fresh news and
entertaining anecdotes.
One day she arrived late for her work,
and as she entered the house caught q
glimpse of the six daughters already as
sembled in the family sitting room with
their gowns and patterns, their work
boxes and their new roll of ''Injy mus
lin"
But none of them were at work, for
one was telling the other story of such
absorbing interest that they sat breath
less and spellbound, with hands fallen
in their laps OF needles suspended in tho
air.
The sight was too much for the new
conner. With one mitt ON and one off,
her unfastened pelisse dragging from
her shoulders, her bonnet askew and it's
loosened strings streaming, she ap-
peared suddenly among the astonished
girls, crying as she came:
"What? What? What is it? Who did
what?"
She was answered, although giving a
full answer involved the retelling of the
whole story, but her comprehensive in
quiry became thereafter family by
word.
Among the deacon's descendants to
this day if one shows signs of too great
inquisitiveness, it is sufficient for any
other member of the family to- ask, with
a lift of the eyebrow:

Taking Thackeray Seriously.

The obscurity in which Thackeray
has left the beginning of Newcome,
Bart, is an instance of his forgetfulness
about his people which, glaring as it is,
has hitherto escaped comment. Thomas
Newcome, the elder, is said to have
been "the founder" of the Newcome
family. We are given to understand
that he was founding. Up to the
time of his demise there was no New
come, Bart. Mr.. Newcome ''might
have been made" one, but ''he eschewed
blood red hands," AS he said, 1T
wouldn't do; the Quaker connection
wouldn't like it"
But his twin sons by his second wife,
Sophia Alethea Hobson, are stated to
have been called Hohson and Brian, re-
spectively, "after their uncle and late
grandfather, whose name and rank they
were destined to perpetuate." The
crank" is clearly the Newcome baron
etcy, but equally clearly the uncle and
grandfather must have been Hobsons,
the founder of the Newcome family be-
ing himself alone" The twins at frs,
take order as above. Then Brian is de-
clared to be the elder ''by quarter of
an hour" He is referred to as "Mr.
Brian" All at once he becomes ''Sir
Brian, and ssperpetuates" a frank" to
which, for all that appears, he had nc
right whatever.-Notesa and Queries.

Gold RULINGS for False Teeth.

"Funny business, this remarked a
dentist, turning from his workbench
and addressing the reporter. 'WhatY'
"Filling false teeth. Every now and
then, when we make set of false teeth,
we are asked to fill two or three of the
front ones, 80 that the gold when the
wearer smiles will shine like darkey's
heel This takes away the counterfeit
appearance of the teeth to some extent.
It's counterfeit upon counterfeit.
persons who have this kind of work
done are willing to pay for it, and as
they always want good showing of
gold, and are very particular as to the
appearance of the work, we have to
charge well for it. Somehow l don's
like to do it. When we have made the
counterfeit teeth it always seems to me
that the deception has gone far
enough. indianapolis Journal.

Annie Pixley,s Embroidered Quilt.

Miss Annie Pixley, the actress, lives,
when in New York, in charmingly
furnished fat, where she spends all her
spare time reading the newspapers, be-
ing, as she laughingly calls herself, a
regular newspaper fiend. She is fond
of talking to reporters and receives
them kindly, even going so far as 70
say that were she not an actress s.
would like to be journalist
"Why is IT." she asked me as | was
leaving, "that people have such curl
osity about actresses and their mode of
life? Come, / want to show you my
rooms so you can see for yourself how
we live, and you will find there is no
great difference between our homes and
those of people in general" And she
led me through her pretty suite, which
ended with her sleeping room. A dainty
place it was, all furnished in blue, the
bed and pillows covered with a hand
somely embroidered spread and shams
done by herself in her moments of lei
sure.
Let me see if can tell you about this
pretty quilt, as some time you might
like to make one somewhat similar. 1t
was formed of half a dozen strips of
wash net about twelve inches wide,
upon which was appliqued flowing
floral design in Swiss muslin, held in
place by chain stitch embroidery done
with linen floss. These strips were
joined with an insertion of the wash
net slashed crosswise and buttonhole
stitched. Wide blue ribbon ran in and
out between the slashes. The large
sham of the same net was heavily en-
broidered around the edges, and three
initials about ten inches high were
worked in the center. Blue satin lined
both sham and quilt. Philadelphia

Bloomed i'm an Hour.

A Belfast gentleman woke about 4:45
a. IN. Sunday and glanced out the win
dow at the clock on the Unitarian
church, as was his custom of a morning,
to see what time it was. Having found
out he turned over for another nap The
next time he awoke he again glanced
toward the steeple and was surprised to
find that the budding leaves in the trees
between his house and the clock had
burst forth to such an extent that they
shut out the clock SO that he was unable
to barely see the large face, let alone the
hands. He was telling this circumstance
to a neighbor later in the day, when the
latter said he, too, noted the fact, as he
also took time from the same clock.--

The Care of Sealskin.

1t is said with truth that the moth
which exterminates does not enter seal
skin; this is quite true, but in his place
comes an insidious little worm which
eats his way through and is a hundred
times more Objectionable He is the re-
suit of dirt. You look indignant, and
yet many of you put your seal coats
away while they are absolutely dirty.
Now the proper way to do is to get out
your coat, shake it thoroughly, hang it
on the clothesline and beat it until not
q particle of fluff will come from it;
then let it sun for half the day; after
this fold it carefully, not doubling it
over, but allowing it to lay out its full
length; then sew over it very closely
coarse muslin; over this pin heavy
sheets of newspaper; then having lined
your box with newspapers lay in the
queer shaped package, cover it with
newspapers, put the lid on, and to be
sure that it is air tight, tie it with a
good strong cord, mark what is in the
box and put it in dark closet.
Use newspapers in preference to any
other kind. BY putting your coat away
so that it is air tight, in utter darkness
and thoroughly clean, it will come out
when you need it as good as new. For
the trimmed coats somewhat more
elaborate arrangement is necessary. Of
course the trimming must have spe-
cial cleaning and you must be sure to
literally bang out all the moth eggs in
