BoNNETS AND GLOVES.
Should the Hostess Wear Either In Her
Own Drawing Room.

Should the Hostess Wear Either in Her
Own Drawing Room.
To wear gloves while assisting at a
tea-table seems out of place, and in the
matter of retaining them while rcceiv-
ing in the afternoon | can best illus
trate the opinion of authority by an
actual occurrence of very recent date.
An English countess, who was visiting
a friend in America, came down into
the drawing room, at an hour fixed for
an afternoon reception to be given in
her honor, attired in high dark silk
gown, wearing few ornaments and no
gloves. When her eye lit upon her
hostess and one or two other women
awaiting the arrival of guests, all care
fully gloved, her countenancc became a
blank. Bless mel" she said, might |
ring for my maid, please2 ! remember
now that they told me at home I'd he
thought quite shocking in America If |
didn't sit all day long with my gloves
buttoned." The same lady sat after a
dinner, at which few friends had been
invited to meet her, knitting some soft
wooden affair under the lamp, while the
American princesses around her re-
sumed their long suede gloves and
posed like fashion-plates until their
carriages were announced.
To wear gloves while playing cards
seems an unnecessary affectation of
elegance. AT a standing supper there
is more excuse for them, as it is difficult
to find time or place to remove them in
the crush of modern supper room,
where it is expected that one will, as
soon as possible, give place to the next
to come in.
Bonnets and hats are worn sometimes
in the house by hostesses when giving
a lawn party or any country fete, who
expect TO mingle with their guests out
of doors, after receiving them within.
But there is neither reason nor apoloQ
for the frealIish fashion adopted re-
Gently by the hostess of womans
luncheon in town, who elected to wear
her bonnet in her own drawing room
Nor does excuse present itself any more
readily for the lack of taste in the wo.
man who arrives in street costume and
bonnet at an evening of readings lee
ture or debate for whatever purpose in
a private house. To emit the bonnet IS
a slight concession to conventionality
that is little TO accord to the giver of
the drawing room, whether tickets TO
enter it be sold for charity, or cards are
sent out in compliment At evening
art exhibitions, loan collec-
TONS as theaters, the American custom
Of wearing bonnets has not yet given
way to the indisputably prettier for
eign one of emitting them. Ladies'

Cabbage FOR Poultry.

Use the inferior cabbages for the
hens, as they will serve as green food.
1t is not necessary to chop them; bat
simply place the entire cabbage, with
the stalk, where the hens can help
themselves. They will not eat 100
much, and the cabbages will serve an
agreeable change. Turnips and pota,
toes, cooked, may also be allowed.

During the present incumhency OF MAJOR

involving State and Federal relations have
been satisfactorily solved and interstate
