JUST LITTLE PRETTIES.

A dinner table is p~rettily adorned
with cut glass vases of crescent shape
and very low and shallow. These may
be filled with violets or other short
stemmed flowers and placed either at
at the corners of the table or to make a
circle in the centre by Joining them to-
gether.
A pretty novelty, called the Zephyr"
is a set of three pieces, consisting OF a
pair of vases with feet and slender
stems and a low oblong centre piece,
also with a foot, tho handles in eacn
case being human figures curved out
ward and attached by butterfly wings OF
graceful form.
The graceful ringstands which are
popular at the present time are not
very good for the rings which they are
made to support on their china branch
es. 1t is much better for the good OF
carefully considered jewelry to have a
velvet or silk lined box wherein to lay
them when not upon the fingers.
Jade fans have a considerable num-
her Of admirers. One design is OF the
butterfly pattern, with Chinese style Of
decoratian. The handle, representing
the butterfy's body, is a succession Of
open work beads OF pierced, carved and
peculiar colored gold, especially alleged
and introduced as oriental art work.
a simple and excessively pretty pic
ture frame is made by cutting a
square Of heavy apaper and then snip
ping a triangle out Of each corner.
Then turn over all four sides for about
an inch. Paint q vinelike pattern
around these, punch where the triangle
was cut, and tie together with narrow
| ribbon after the photograph is inserted.
Red kid slippers are very pretty for
the house and with certain frocks.
With Others they are conspicuous, and
| so more than in doubtful taste. On the
street there should be only one opinion
! as TO their wear. Unfortunately there
is more than one-girls who are modest
and nice in their firing sometimes walk
abroad in this eccentric foot-gear.
A Bordelais vase, which is shown
both with and without handles, is
nearly square in effect, furnishing a
te%mptingly broad surface for figure
| decoration. The space on either side
which may be thus utilized is seven and
one-half by nine and three-quarter
inches, the total height OF the piece
being thirteen inches. The vase can
be easily used as a lamp vase.
A recent craze in Paris has been for
frames, dainty boxes, card cases and
the like, made OF white or pale pink
kid, painted with a s%prinKling Of
| flowers copied from old Dresden china.
This is q suggestion for using the upper
parts OF long white kid gloves. An
other novelty is the application of
| flowers from Honiton and other old lace
on satin with very fine gold thread.

only the most d|iSgraceiul frauds at

The POpulists expressed their conf

Democrats were frightened. Even so

Not far away sits another Kansas
Populist, the Hon. Thomas j.. Hudson.
He has a magnificent physique aud a

years ago. Mr.. Hudson is dignifed and

A contrast with the other Populists is
the Hon. Francis G. Newlands, of Ne

WASHINGTON, d. c., November 91.-
The recent political revulSiOn has made
many sore hearts. While the Demo-
Gratis in the West. in the Middle States
and in New England wear long faces,
the hearts Of Virginia loco fOcOs are
leaping with Joy. With New York
State Republican by Over 80, 900 ma
joaity, Virginia goes Democratic By
$4,000. The Republicans made no et-
fort whatever to carry New York, and
were successful. The PopuliSts strained
every nerve to upset Virginia and their
party was buried 30 deep in its political
waters as to be beyond d reach Of men
ia submarine amor. There are ten or
these gentlemen 10 the House OF Repre-
sentativss. The campaign had hardly
opened In Virginia before they began
TO squirt over the state like comets, eX-
p~atiating In the large cities and country
towns. They whirlsd through the
Shenandoah valley and along the val
ley OF the James like dervisheS,
aud distributed their eloQuence on the
banks Of the R~appahannOck Snd along
the Roanoke. One after the other they
shot from Washington into the noun
tains and over the wilderness, awaken
ing the echoes with their cries. First,

inches in height and well knit. He has

General Facts About Skirt trimming
To nerfectly cut and make skirt trim
ming of any sort some few facts must De
borne in mind
For rut1les, puffs. folds. pipingss, and, III
deed, anything but pleatinSs, which just now
are not much in favor, the material must be
bias in order TO obtain the right set. StralSnt
material will not take the graceful roids
that mark the well-made rufde, the perfect
fi0unCe.
Pipings. such as now are in style, must
be stuffed with cotton waddns and every
particle of the work requires to be done
with care and neatness to get any salts
factory result. The preliminary basting
must be perfectly done.
Stuffed Pipings.
To make stuffed pipings, cut bias strips
two and one-quarter inches wide. the length
of the skirt at its widest part, and the same
length of strips of cotton wadding two inches
wide.
Fold the wadding twice, so that it shall
inch wide, and then basic it firmly along its
entire length.
Turn under one edge of the material just
one-Oua of an inch, or the width of an
ordinar am, and haste it down securely.
Thel ce the folded cotton in the center
of the IS strip and fold over first the
raw. thtn upon that the turned edge as the
diagram shows. and hem the latter fiat with
long stitches that catch only to the cloth
When that is done the piping will be
complete and should measure just three
quarters of an inch in width. Repeat this
for as many rows of piping as you wish.
Basic the piping carefully to the skirt. at
whatever distance between the rows you
prefer, and sew it firmly into place.
without allowing a single stitch to pass
through the piping lest it be Hattened and
lose it's effect.
Plated Piping.
Piping plaits are just now high in favor.
