towering height at the little, inoifen-

on his low stool. and resumes his
former position. Monsieur repeats

Those Wooden Nutmegs.

There may possibly have been an
original incident, among the many
peddlers from Connecticut, OF one who
cheated by selling wooden nutmegs to
his customers, but probably not. The
cost, in time and labor, of making
such artistic frauds would more than
balance the receipts. Doubtless the
wooden nutmegs must go with the
Eastwood hams. All the same, the
joke has served the purpose of giving
the old-time tin peddlers and clock
peddlers from Connecticut a bad name
for superior cunning and trickishness.
1t served at least one good purpose in
giving birth to one of the best toasts
ever offered at dinner-old now, and
well known, but perfect in its way;

In certain species of vegetable
growths there are found stones sup
posed TO be formed and deposited in
their tissues from the siliceous and
calcareous juices circulating in their
organisms. Thus. in the bamboo .
round stone is found at the joints of
the cane called "tabasheer."
Another curiosity OF the sort is the
"cocoanut stone" found in the endos-
perm OF the cocoanut in Japan and
other East India islands. DIR. kim

times pear-shaped, while the appear

much lustsr. Some of the stones are
as large as cherries and as hard a.
felspar or opal. Thoy are very rare
and are regarded as precious stones by
the Orientals, and charms against dis
ease or evil spirits by the natives.
Stones of this kind are sometimes
found in the pomegranate and other
East India fruits, Apatite has also

ence. Still perplexity is the inspiration
Of resource, and in the Louis WI model,
now very much in evidence among ultra
fashionable women who have already
exhausted the empire and have not yet
accepted the ugliress Of the 1880 styles,
there are hope and help for the back
number gown, thinks the New YORK
Sun.
The waist of the Louis XVI gown has
a point in front and at the back, and
about It's lower edge Is gathered the full
ness OF the skirt opening over q breadth
of material, contrasting with the rest OF
the dress. Because the skirt is shorter
than those OF last season the back
breadths may be shortened at the top,
thus increasing the fullness at the belt.
The fullness is massed at the back, but
the gathers cover the hips as well. Out
of date china silks, brocades and figured
material OF all kinds are well adapted TO
this style, The front breadth being Of
shot satin or heavy corded silk trimmed
in straight bands across the bottom.
The sleeves may match the breadth in
serted and have balloon puifs at the top
slashed over the contrasting color. The
dress given is an elegant STAIR for din

behind. In making IL the following
method Is the best 70 make the dress nj
well. No breast darts are made, but In
stead the folds OF the waist material are
pleated in under the belt. These pleats
are concealed By the large bow ct the
waist. In the back there are no pleats
whatever. The V-shsped bodice has
ribbons crossing 1t, starting from the
shoulder knots and loosely tied infront.
The front breadths have rounded darts,
but are cut away very much at the
back, in order to give the proper shape
over the hips. This skirt is rbout three
Yards in width. The sleeves are very
large and pulled. the puffs being sewn
on separately after having beeA pleated.
The other costume Is an Empire ball

are several rows OF Greek embroidery in
gilt arabes9ue patterns. The under slip
is either of colored or OF white taft eta

terial as the foundation Of the skirt
The Eton jacket is cut Of material on

ner wear OF Marie Antionette brocade in
pale heliotrope and green on ground
Of white. The front breadth Is shot
green and lavender satin, the trimming
gold galloon set with lavendar mock
jewels.
One OF the cuts shows an idea for a
working dress Of silk gingham, which
looks so like the gingham silk that costs
three times as much and will not wash.
This peculiar zephyr has clear pink
stripe OF silk, or something that closely
resembles it, alternating with a stripe OF
chine gray and pink curves and spirals
all twisted in together. A 2-inch ruffie,
with puff above Of the gingham, edges
the skirt. Another runs parallel with
il quarter OF yard above, and two
others follow. Three ruilles, one above
tho other, trim the waist about the
shoulders, the top one falling over the
sleeve, which lS set in quite of the point
OF the shoulder. A folded belt Of satin
ribbon confines the fulness OF the waist.
Another is a cheviot, quite quaint and
odd enough TO be Iumistably new.
The shoulder seams, cut down we'll over
the point OF the shoulder, give an IN
familiar slant to the little caps which
finishes the bodice. The sleeves have
double puffs at the elbow and little ruf-
aes falling over a fIted cuff Of satin.
The bodice underneath the cape, at least
so much OF it as shows, is all OF satin.
And the big fat hat, with its dropping
brim, is a perfect copy Of the leghorn
hats worn 20 years ago. The whole cos
tune might have been reproduced in
Godey's along in the forties and seemed
less unusual than IL does to-day.

breadths must be gathered instead OF
Matted and sloped so as 10 make very
few folds.
This sloping can either take place In
the back or in the side seams. according
to the number of breadths used, which
of course depends on the width OF the
stuff. AS general rule, the skirt should
be from PIX to yards wide. The front
breadth must be very slightly sloped az
the ton. and the side breadths must
only be sloped where they join the
back ones. If desired, the dress need
not be lined, but trimmed around the
edge with a row of embroidery. The
bodice has tightly fitting lining and Is
hooked in front. The yoke Is made sep
aratelv and is hooked separately after
the lace epaulets are properly arranged
on the shoulders.
Underneath this yoke the front and
back brea6ths are gathered in and fas-
tened. as Alison at the waist. To effect
this the material must be laid on the
lining and basted, care being taken TO
follow exactly the contour Of the yoke.
The plaits are then secured above the
basting with pins, and then the pIaits
are carefully sewn down fat The shout
der epaulets are made Of straight ma
terial, the upper one smaller than the
under one, and they must be scalloped
