Not a Woman, hut LiL. One.

A Chicago paper tells strange story of
. contractor OF that city. While at worF
he swears and drinks like good fellow,
or rather bad fellow, but as soon as he
has reached home and donned his femi-
nine attire he is a changed man. He is
not a man; he is a woman--so far as dress
and manners can make him one. He puts
on corsets and form improvers, shaves
and powders his face, pierces his big red
ears and inserts in them great golden ear
yings. He has spent much OF his
earnings for gaudy ball dresses and
evening wardrobes; spent his time and
wealth in dressing himself up in the
height OF the feminine fashion, in com
pressing his waist, in shortening his
steps, in whitening his hands and face, in
learning womanly grace, and, in short, in
making himself woman, with all her
little graces, poses and foibles. He is
strong man--a man who has done manual
labor almost all his life, a pian who can
out-climb, out-wrestle, out-drink and
out-run ninety-nine men out OF hun
dred OF his neighbors. He is said to be
worth 100000.

throughout the State for the broad scope

dirertions has attended its workings has
added new attraction TO the mary that

sonal supervision of an expert from Tit

things i'm writing papers, with the where
vithal for getting out fashionable invita-
tion lunch and menu cards, etc, can now
be had with the certainty that in shape,
sizes. tint. lettering and all their various
intricacies they come straight from the
400's headquarters.
There are some particularly pretty
chinas at the exchange just now. 1t is
hard TO believe that many OF the pieces
are what must be called technically
amateur work, for in grace and deli
cacy Of design and beauty OF coloiing
they are among the most charming things
on exhibition in the city at the present
day.
There is a chocolate pot on one Of the
high shelves of quantity graceful shape,
with design of green and dull gold ferns
on creamy ground that wins second
look from everybody whose eyes seek 1t
out on it's high pedestal. There are little
platters with blue gentian designs and
plates running over with wild roses or
fuchsias, and others that fitly celebrate
the azalia aad purple passion flower.
The exchange has long been celebrated
ga NJ re H.
cries, and il has many things now TO show
that more than keep green its fame. The
fine hand work on the baby linen is pro-
badly the most generally attractive, but
even for those who first inspect the small
hut wonderfully wrought garments the
ffower-stitched table linen and fancy pieces
do not suffer by comparison.
There are gauge fans cleverly painted, to
represent yet another department. OF IN
dustry and queer quaint things in dolls,
and too manv other things to begin what
would be long catalogue. When the
Exchange gave up its lunch room last
autumn it did not give up the making
and baking TO order of many most eatable
edibles. In every city of any size IN the
Union the Woman's Exchange idea mas
taken root and flourished, but nowhere is
it doing better work nowhere is It's less
ostentatiously reaching out its hand TO
help the class who m ost need help and are
least adept at finding it-gentlewomen
suddenly thrown on their own resources
than here in Providence.

THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.
A Noble Animal, ,but lie Costs Some thin Q
To Keep.

n
tn Keep.
The Newfoundland dog is one of the
most intelligent and esteemed of the
large kinds of dogs. 1t is said to have
come first from Newfoundland, where ii
is used chiefly as beast of draught to
convey light loads of wood or provisions
on sledges over rugged tracks. Multi
tudes OF these dogs at st. John ano
elsewhere are left to shift for them
selves in the fishing season and are
again called TO service when required b.
their masters. There are several varietie
OF Newfoundland dogs, particularly $
smooth breed with rather small head,
white and spotted with black, which
seems fast becoming extinct; very
large breed, with broad muzzle, head
raised, noble expression, waved or curly
hair, very thick and bushy curled tail,
black and white color, and a smaller,
almost black breed.
The Newfoundland is remarkable for
memory, and for patience and forbearanc"
OF temper. 1t is, however, and want my
readers to note this fact, apt to become
bad tepmered il kept in confinement, and
will then bite even its master. Some of
the most interesting anecdotes of the af-
lection and sagacity OF the dog relate TO
the Newfoundland. Its paws are half
webbed. No dog excels il as watchdog
and It's power Of endurance in swimming
is very great.

The new millinery is novel in design
and extremely tasteful in coloring. The
upper one shown here is a very smart hat,
made with a wide, transparent brim Of
black lace, a crown of gold embroidery,
with large jet pins, and bow OF black
satin at the back.
The next one is a small bonnet with a
crown formed entirely of flowers, the
brim outlined with bebc ribbon, and a
trimming of Jet at the back. The model
sketched had a crown OF forget me- nots,

The other is a pretty bonnet OF black

For Mantel prnnerY.

The mantel is always draped nowadays,
the material as a rule being bought and
made up. A pretty decoration is TO take
some soft, himsy material, one with a
stripe of some kind running through.
Fasten this on both ends by some orna-
mental tacks, and draw up in the centre by
a bow of ribbon, not to match the, stripe,
but OF some pretty contrast. Then place
the bric-a a. brac, but do not overcrowd.
The whole can be easily removed while the
room is being cleaned.
