Among the most touching of the let
tiers which pour into a newspaper
Office are those from "anxious mothers"
asking show to dress a girl of about
fourteen" 1t is therefore with pleas
ure that a charming gown for a girl Of
this age is here presented. Different
combinations of colcr may of course be
formed, but the original of the cut was
in two shades of green. The lighter
shade has a suspicion of color and is
shown in a soft delaine, which forms
the body OF the dress. The velvet is a
brilliant apple green and the two shades
are united by bands OF iridescent pas
sementerie.
The bodice is particularly adapted to
a girlish figure. The lines give an ar
tificial fulness which is increased by
the soft yoke of delaine.
The prevalence of satin as a materia,
for the gowns of older people cannot
fail to produce somee exquisite creations
for the little folk. The child's dress
shown in the cut is of pale blue satin,
so stiff that absolute simplicity is the
only necessary rule in its use. 1t is
trimmed with wide Irish point lace
and the combination is very effective.

Those Self-Patching Trousers.

A Rochester man certainly deserves
to have his name written among the
b~enefactors OF the race. He has in
vented self-patching jackets and trous-
ers, and his idea is said TO work adj
mirably in practice. The scheme is a
simple one, but so are hundreds OF in
ventions that have brought fame and
fortune to their ~originators. The
cloth is of double thickness where
most of the wear comes, the pattern
being carefully adjusted so as to coin
eide in each piece. When the outer
covering wears through only the rough
edges have to be darned in. and the
pattern and cloth remain in tact. The
mar in whose mind this great idea de-
veloped has other fields to conquer.
Self-adjustable shoe and suspender
buttons are the natural accompani-
ments to self-darning clothing. When
those are forthcoming, perhaps we can
spare the oma for poliiics.-ALbany

On my last trip through the west ]

had been seated but a few mo-
ments when my attention was attract
ed To a coGntry-looking individual
with mud-stained shoes and a far
away look in his eyes, who had just
entered the car and seated himself OPP
posite me.
1t was evidently his first trip in a
s~leeping-car. as he carefully scrutin-
lied every body and everything.
There was nothing particularly strik-
ing about him. with the possible ex-
ception of an alarm clock which he
carried with him, but his appearance
indicated that he had just come to
town on a load of hay.
AT 1880 o'clock ] retired and our
rural traveller was still sitting up adj
miring the wonderful improvements
and coEveniences of modern railroad
travel.
The next morning Il was one of the
first to arise and, after completing my
toilet, sat down to read, as the train
was some distance from st. Louis.
In a few moments Mr.. Hayseed
emerged from his berth very much ex-
cited. He looked up and down the
car and all about him, as If in search
OF some lost treasure.
Finally he hailed the porter, who
was making up a berth some distance
away. With his usual: ain a minute,
sah," the porter came up and the fol-
lowing conversation then took place:
Mr.. Hayseed-"Whar air my boots?"
Porter-"Must be under your berth,
sah."
(There was a pair there but Mr..
Il did not recognize them.)
Mr.. H~-"They're not mine"
Porter-"Reckon they are, sab. /
polished them, sab"
Mr.. Fl. (rubbing his chin)-"Oh, ah,
yes. (Sees the point and asks how
much)
Porter-"Well, sab, anything you
like but we always gets a quarter,
sab"
Mr.. Hayseed pays up. puts on his
shoes and deparsa, having learned of
the wonderful transformation scene
which had taken place between the
porter ar@ his mud-bespattered shoes
while he slumbered peacefully in his
berth.-N. I. Recorder.

A Wcman's Remarkable Memory.

A curious instance of "long' MEM
DRY was recently told of q lady who
formerly lived in Missouri but who is
now a resident of Ohio. As she was
IN day riding on an East Eighth
street cable car in Kansas City she
casually glanced at the houses as she
passed. In one of the yards she saw a
silk patchwork quilt hanging cal a line.
Instantly she stopped the car, and go
ing to the house rang the door bell
and asked if Mrs. B lived there.
The reply being in tie aft NATIVE she
entered, and a mon ent laler two old

FORTUNA ATE RUSSIAN WOMEN.
They Propose Marriage and Make 1t Warm
In Case OF Refusal.

In Case OF Refusal.
That Is a strange movement that
has begun in Austria, where the
ladies are discussing the propriety
or a revolutionary movement in the
matter Of popping the question. In
parts of Russia, it seems, that
privilege is enjoyed by the fair sex
with good results, for there are
fewer unmarried girls where the
custom prevails than where it does
not. Whether the growth or ex-
tension Of the custom to other parts
OF the world would destroy the
romance Of courtship and unsex the
better half of human creation is a
point that need rot be discussed, says
once a Week. Where the girs pop
the question the results are generally
beneficial. / have read that when a
Russian maid sees a swain that
captivates her fancy she goes to his
house and proposes is a straight
forward manner. Ivan nay be
mending shoes or doing some other
unromantic work when the girl enters.
He sees at a glance what is coming
and holds down his head.
"Iyan, | love you. viii you be
mine? VIII you consent to be my
husband?"
She may not be to Ivan's liking:
she may be not only not beautiful,
but ugly: still, he must receive her
avowal with politeness, and, if she
does not accept his refusal and CON
tinues to poster him with e%ntreaties,
as often happens, he will have to
yield or emigrate. How would our
American girls, who complain that
young men nowadays are all fortune
hunters-not real loyers--welcome
such an innovation here?
