cred with net richly embroidered in gold
sprays. The same gallon and trimming
formed point between the shoulders, and
the whole appeared to be cut en- princesse.
Nothing could be more simple, or at the
same time more stylish. A tea jacket in
soft green silk had full front of crepe de
chine of the same tint, caught together
with gold passerAenterie into a knot at the
throat, the fullness disappearing in the
long waist formed of a folded belt of the
same soft material caught up like the
paniers.
Our cut shows a green fancy straw hat,
with black lace bow and foliage on one
side, and crown of pink roses and foliage.
Another picturesque wide brimmed hat
for summer is most becomingly bent, and
has for trimming a large rosette holding
three colored tulips, carelessly thrown
across the crown. Another, of the three
cornered shape, has a ruche of lace border
ing it and a row of single cowsHps, few
cowslips supported by lace and narrow
velvet standing up at the back. Long
green ribbons hanging at the back are a
feature of some attractive hats for young
women.
The present is lace season Lace is
largely useo on every possible form of gar
niture for millinery, both in black and all
shades of rich cream; antique and guipure
laces are also much in favor.
The new way of bordering the skirt with
full ruche, and placing swallow tail bows
at distance above it, is pretty, and looks
well carried out in lace on evening gowns
The elaborate dress sleeves in vogue have
made large sleeves necessity in coats.
Paris dressmakers are sending out walk
ing dresses that will please women who
protest against the long bell skirts that
sweep the pavement. These retain the
bias cut in the back, but are rounded off
at the bottom of the skirt so as to escape
the ground.
English tweed gowns have pockets at the
| sides of the Sirt, like mems trouser peck
| cts Some are buttoned over, with orna-
| mental buttons. The evening and tea
gowns made en- sacque, with tolerably
broad velvet ribbon brought up from under
each arm, and tied in loops on the sacque,
with very long flowing ends, are graceful.
Changeable surah silks are among novel

Hot Bathing in japan.

In hygienic matters the Japanese have
everywhere a habit which may have les
son for us, writes DR.. Benjamin Howard in
The Lancet. In their nightly bath and
morning wash the water is never cold,
never warm, but always hot as it can be
borne To foreigners this habit seems very
surprising, but the most inveterate Eng
lishman, if he stays in the country long
enough, abandons his cold tub in its favor.
The cold taking which it is suspected must
follow is found not to occur if the water
has been hot enough. This heat is main
tanned by a little furnace beneath the bath
In the bath the bather or bathers take
prolonged soaking, the washing proper be-
ing done on the bathroom floor: then fol-
lows a second and final soaking drying
with towel and a lounge in bathing wrap
per. This habit seems to promote softness
and suppleness of the skin, and by persons
inclined to rheumatism is soon found to be
altogether preferable to the cold bath in
every particular. The poorest of the Jap
anese hear of a cold bath with amazement
and would be sure the man who used it
must be barbarian. With respect to the
superiority of the hot bath over the cold, |
have come to find that in my own case Ger
talnly the japanese are right.

THE PRAISE OF YAwNINe.
A Model Physical Exercise Which Stimr
lates and Refreshes the Whole Body.

A Model Physical Exercise which Stimu-
lates and Refreshes the Whole Body.
To yawn is to do good deal more than
merely Ito open wide the mouth through
drowsiness or WEAKNESS, as the diction-
aries tells us. According to Mrs Russell
of Delsartean fame, the yawn is an invol-
untary exercise which nature suggests to
US when, in consequence of sleep or drowsi-
ness or ennui or cold or hunger or indiges-
ton, something is needed to restore the
system to a state of general activity.
Through it and the movements which ac-
company it the whole body, beginning with
the muscles of the throat and face. is slim
ulated and refreshed, the successive mo-
lions extending themselves throughout the
entire frame and reaching finally to the
feet. "A good yawn," says Mrs. Russell
lis always slow, and the best uses every
articulation in the body-probably every
muscle-possibly refreshes every nerve.
Not all at once or in jerks, but SLOWLY, in
perfect SUGGESTIONS or rhythms, with the
best possible breathing. Certainly no gym
mast, with the single exception of Francois
Delsarte, ever so arranged the same ey-
penditure OF force, nervous and muscular,
as to result in an equal amount of invigor-
ating effect upon the system" And again
we are informed that yawning ''embodies
all the laws of growth needed for move
ments that are to give physical growth and
refreshment, and some of the laws which
are necessary to the higher growth, SO
called, of the emotions and the intellect"
The moral of these observations would
appear to be that we ought all to yawn as
much as possible-the oftener the better:
and further, since yawning comes SO near
perfection as mode of bodily exercise,
that we should do well to discard such con-
yentionalities as dumb bells and the hori-
zontal bar, and to cultivate our bodily
powers by merely lounging in our chairs
and yawning. Merely to think about it or
to read about it is enough to set some peo-
pie agape, while, if these devices fail, the
desired result can be attained in a purely
mechanical fashion Droop the eyelids as
If sleepy, at the same time rolling the eye
balls slightly upward, though without
closing the eyes; repeat the movement some
half dozen times and you will find yourself

Height on the shoulders is no longer the
characteristic feature of capes and man

that of greater width obtained by the use

TALKING SHOP.
This May BE an Innocent Pleasure or a
Most Selfish Amusement.

This May Be an Innocent Pleasure or a
Most Selfish Amusement.
People seem to think it necessary to
apologize for talking of their chief bust
ness in life. If a man makes pun, good
or bad-it is usually men who make puns
he assumes a sort of half guilty, half
pleased air, to be ready to look ashamed of
himself or proud, according to how his wit
is received. But when a man talks shop
he usually turns with some polite excuse
to whoever of the party may be IAN out
sider," and yet this very topic may be of
interest to ALL from the mere fact that
those talking on it are those most COM
petent to discuss it thoroughly.
Talking shop" may, to a great extent,
be called a paradox, for while it is one of
our most innocent pleasures, it is often
also one of our most selfish amusements.
To render it selfish amusement it is
only necessary to introduce one uncon-
genial element
While talking shop may be a great
pleasure, provided all present are interest
ed in or understand what they are talking
about, yet, if any false note be present in
the chord of perfect harmony which should
prevail in order to enjoy the talk comfort
ably, all is changed. TO those discordant
minds let one word of advice be addressed,
which is. if you are present when shop is
being talked, sit still and say nothing
that is, if you are not thoroughly well in
formed on the subject. The intelligent
listener will seldom fail to learn something
from those who are discussing any point
which they understand, and their patience
viii assuredly meet its reward.

Bits of Social Wisdom.

Tact is the art of putting yourself in an

To know the beauty of apology in its full

1t is hard to find fault with people who
