Love of Dress AID It's Limits.

Beauty has a powerful influence
over most of US. A humorously pa
thetic story of an old man whose life
had been spent with a severely plain,
ill dressed wife. and who secretly pur-
chased a faxen haired doll to crafty
his latent love of the beautiful, will
illustrate the principle. Actual phys
ical beauty is a ARE gift, but pleasant,
CHEEKY, cleanly looks and agreeable
dressing go far toward answering the
same purpose. The woman who
studies the question of dress in order
that she may find and appropriate,
who makes a careful study OF color
and outlines from an artistic stand
point, and who seeks to emphasize
every one of her good points and to
disguise those which are less attrac-
tive, is adding materially to her in
fuence for good at home and abroad.
But when dress becomes q paramount
consideration in a woinan's life aud
simply a mean of gratifying her van
ity or eclipsing her neighbors, it is a
lamentable perversion and Injuries

s'schoolmaster"-that is, as a teacher OF
navigation to those on the sailing vessel
who desired to perfect themselves In the
mathematical technicalities of a nautical
career. Lippett, although but seventeen
years old, had just completed u collegiate
education, and through family influence
got his billet on the famous war frigate
Constellation. When the Atlantic was
crossed he decided to exchange figures for
fighting and Intellectually underworld to
secure a commission in the army OF n OF
the then ~contending factions in Portugal.
Because he asked that Lafayette's influence
be exerted in his behalf he became &C
quainted with that distinguished friend OF
freedom, and SO CHANGED to be one OF the
mourners at mis- funeral, which occurred
not long after.
The Goth day of May, 1884, will long be
memorable in French history. The weather
was hot and the people were raging be-
cause King Philippe had sent only empty
carriages to rep~resentthe royal family atthe
funeral of the idol of the nation. Says the
general:
1--WE could see that this action OF the
king was causing the widest excitement
among the throngs on the avenues and
boulevards, and the long lines of infantry
fully armed and equipped, far as the eye
could reach, simply intensified the gradu-
ally growing hum and Kissing from the
populace. It appeared as if all the regular
troops of the kingdom had been summoned
to Paris for the occasion, but our wonder
was soon to be satisfied. Exactly two
years before, during the funeral OF Gen
eral La Marque, the Paris republicans
dashed upon the military escort, seized the
coffin as it was borne along and rallied a
mob, whose revolution lasted three days
only, however, although marked by the
s~everest kind of fighting and bloodshed.
Philippe's secret police, it seems, had dis
covered that another such outbreak was
being planned for May 20, while Lafay-
cites obsequ were in progress, and the
unusually laIge military escort had been
provided to nip the proposed revolution In
the bud. The foresight of the cabinet sue
ceeded, but there was a great deal OF con
fict and promiscuous firing before it did,
General Lippett returned to America in
1886 and took up the profession of law
after the conclusion of the Mexican war,
through which he fought with gallantry
and distinction. His career as a jurist was
temporarily interrupted by the civil war,
and ten years ago he retired from active
practice. In 1891 he assisted at entertain
ing the French officers who came to the
United States for the purpose of taking
part in the celebration at Yorktown OF

The round centerpiece, with dolly in

pretty in effect. It is prepared upon a
29-inch square of linen divided into eight
parts, as described above, in order to
facilitate the shaping of the mat and the
placing of the floral sprays. The latter
are worked separately, being afterward
basted in position, and applied with the
usual buttonhole edging. These sprays
can be bought ready made, but may be
easily worked by any one acquainted
with the simple point lace stitches and
willing to spend the necessary time upon
them.

The braid is basted down upon blue
muslin, upon which the outline of the
design has been traced. The braid is
then caught together for each leaf and
petal, with a double net stitch in point

stitches through to the muslin pattern),
and a "spider" forms the center of each
flower. When finished, the basting
threads are taken out, thus releasing the
spray from the muslin background. In

formed by pieces Of a finer braid than
that used for the edge, and do not have

las Happy as a oleen."

A boy hearing it announced that
the young King of Spain was likely
to make a visit to this country. ex-
claimed, s'Oh. what a fortunate boy!
How happy he must be to know that
he will be a king!"
This remark brings to mind a SINH
lar exclamation which fell from the
lips of a peasant woman who had oc-
casion to ask some favor from the
household of Louis XVI. when they
were at Versailles. oh" said she,
eff l could only have it | should be as
happy as a Queen"
"As happy as a queen!" said the
little Dauphin, who had been listen
ing to the woman, las happy as a
queenl l know a queen who weeps
all day long"
The little Dauphin, child though
he was, had been made strangely
thoughtful by the scenes and events
which came into his everyday life.
There is something pathetic in the
very thought of boy kings and royal
youths, SO sad and SO tragic have been
the fate of many; none moro SO than
the fate of the little fellow who aston
ished the peasant woma by his re-
mark.
Upon hearing that his father vas
condemned to die, he rushed out of
the apartment where he and his
mother and aunt and sister were i'm
prisoned, and made an effort to pass
the guard, saying:-
"Do let me go. | want to get out
and beg the people not to kill my
father"
When he was told that his father
had been executed he said
And he was SO good. Why did
they Kill him?n
Afterward, when torn from his
mothers embrace and subjected to
the brutal treatment which Simon,
the shoemaker, practiced uDon him
day and night, his only remonstrance
was What harm have | ever done to
anybody"
Death came to the rescue of this
boy-king, and his suffering was COM
parativeiy short. Not 50 fortunate
was Ivan VI. who, descended from the
elder brother of Peter the Great,
could claim a right of inheritance to
the Russian throne, but when old
enough to possess his rights was,
through tyranny and t~reachery,
Arust into prison, where he passed
b whole life. Said he:-
Il have hardly any idea of the
distress which assailed my in
fancy; but from the moment that
began to be sensible OF my mis-
To-. Inc I never ceased to mingle my
Q rs with those of my father and
mother. who were wretcled on my
account; and my greatest misery was
10 see the barbarous treatment they
suffered as we were hurried from one
prison to another"
He had been guilty of no crime or
misdelueanor, but he was the rightful
heir to the throne, and the usurper,
Catherine II, was determined that

rangement. In sewing down the braid
it has to be firmly basted on the outside
at each turn, and on the inner edge gath
cred with a fine thread in order to make
it lie fat. The center of each bowknot
is formed by a piece of the braid used in
the border. The work being thus pre-
pared, the buttonholing may be COM
menced.
In the pieces sketched here Japan
wash silk was employed for the purpose.
Except for the outer edge. the button
holing is done in one long and two short
stitches. with care that each stitch is
taken exactly at right angles to the edge
which is being sewn down, a slantwise
or uneven direction of the silk giving a
very undesirable effect. For the scalloped
edge, the linen is doubled under to give
an added frmness. having been pre-
viously cut to the necessary shape and
size, following the outline of the mat.
When all the work is finished, the linen
is cut away from beneath the braid and
the edges neatly trimmed with a pair of
sharp scissors.
Finally the piece must be carefully
pressed in the following manner: Lay
the work right side downward on an
ironing board covered with a clean fan
