Lace belongs TO them, whether it is
piled up over the dear old head or gath
cred at neck and sleeves. Crepe lisse is
theirs by right of its delicate softeniug
effect. Rich dark silks, brocades and
velvets We're never so well employed as
in gowns for those dear old ladies. Soft
woods in drab, prune gray and black
seem made on purpose for them, and in
them they make charming pictures.
The driving dresses are usually warm
and thick rather than ornate, and the
wrap should be Of a rich and elegant
kind and one OF those that does not 20
out Of fashion soon, as grandmothers do
not like to change the fashion Of their
clothes with every new moon. The BON
nets are made to suit. There are those
that come down over the ears, and there
are felt hats for those who like them,
trimmed heavily with feathers and
moire ribbon, and wide bows under tho
chin, for few ladies' who have passed
their fifties can 60 without the bow
under the chin, which hides that fatal
double fold Of flesh and preserves the
old outline Of younger days. There are
close capotes and bonnets Of various
kinds but little different in style from
those for the granddaughter, only that
the colors are trihe quieter, and the
outlines not quite SO accontuated. Grand
mothers are as dainty with their gloves,
their shoes and other trifles as their
granddaughter, and this is as it should
be. They should be even more particu-
lar with their toilet to make up for the
ravages Of time.
might add a word here about shoes
for the very old grandmothers-n the
active, middle aged ones. For them,
when their feet are tired with many
weary midnight walks with fretful
babies, are lovely soft shoes with soles
flexible enough for the tenderest feet
And it is now the fashion TO crochet and
knit warm wOolen shoes and sew them
TO thick felt soles. A pretty ribbon
around the top finishes them and draws
the top snugly around tho ankles and
keeps the feet warm as toast. No better
present could be devised for dear old
grandmother.
Her little pets are dressed so quantity
by al American mothers. Cloaks are
of elder down flannel or of some of tho
thick, soft woolens. garnished with nar-
row bands of fur or ribbon. Ono cum
ming little coat of drah flannel has
sleeves and yoke braided with green
braid, and n sash bow with three round
tassels of green silk. The hat was green
felt and drab plush.
Another had q shorter coat of Hrht
blno cashmere with black astrazhun
trimming, and hat Of white felt with
blue ribbons and plumes. A funny lit

girl Of ten was of baby blue cashmere
with ribbon bands around the skirt

Married Women in tho West.

The western married man has no stand
Ing in society except by his wife's side
Tho men who run" the towns are seldom
seen ut the parties. which are managed by
their unmarried clerks. III the old courtly
days man and wife had social indi-
viduality; but when man attends social
gathering in tho west he is expected to seat
himself beside his wife and behave as we'll
as he can, to the end that people may
understand that he Is not only fond of the
worthy woman Mt home, but in company
as we'll.
If married man should attend west
ern social affair without his wife he would
be very apt to be approached by married
woman who would ask him In an audible
whisper, Where Is your wifeS" andEthere
would be certain something in the wom-
ans tone indicating that he ought to be
ashamed OF himself for being there under
such circumstances. I once knew a gay
young husband to exhibit paper signed
by his wife, to the effect that he was at the
party alone with her knowledge and con-
eent.-E. w. Howe in Forum.
