Fad For Large Portraits.

The proper caper just at present is to
have ones portrait done in oil, a very de-
lightful caper if one can afford it. It is
about the costliest fad, however, which
has fastened itself on the money lockers
of the fashionables. Still society, SO
called, is always willing to amuse itself
with fads. None of the fashionable
portrait artists care to devote their time
to a portrait for which they will receive
less than 81 900.
Porter, who so exquisitely painted Mrs.
Duncan Elliott when she was Miss Sallie
Hargous, has just completed one of Mrs.
Abram S. Hewitt. Mrs. Theodore Have
meyer caught the craze and has hanging
at the end entrance to the art gallery in
her town house on Madison avenue a
life size portrait of herself, for which the
is said to have paid the artist, Muller
Vry, over So, 200. The same artists por-
trait of DIR. Depew cost the latter gen.
tleman nearly 81 900. Mrs. Havemeyer's
is life size, and the canvas, together with
the frame, covers q space fully 10 feet
in width and length.
Mr.. Vry is very shortly to commence
a portrait of Mrs Charles Yerkes, and
apropos of this it is said that in the lum-
Der room of her house in Chicago there
is stored away portrait of this hand
some woman for which she paid the ar
fist some 81, 1000. The story of the pic
ture is similar to that regarding Mrs.
Mackay's picture by famous artist-it
too truthfully resembled her. New

WASTED HOURS Perhaps the busy
mother-alas that I should have to say
tits 1'devoted" to fancy work, and
spends the hours which might go to
mental growth for herself or her chill
dren in useless embroidery. Now fam
cy work is harmless, perhaps even
useful, and very little adds grace
full and pretty touch to home, but as
a mania it is lamentable, both to the
perpetrator, who thus deliberately
chooses to stun her own intellectual
growth, and to those who depend upon
her for theirs. How often do we see
a woman who has ''no time to read"
but plenty in which to make the thous
and and one things that cram her
house. To such a mother, little ell
bows on her knees are an Interrupt
ton, little lips disturb her stitches,and
little eyes soon learn to look to others
than mother for help, advice and love,

A USEFUL BRUsH.-It is next to i,

A USEFUL BRUSH.-It is next to i'm
possible to wash potatoes perfectly
clean by hand. The use of a little
scrubbing brush, such as may be pur
chased at from five to ten cents, will
soon make their Jackets fresh and
clean, SO that they will be fit to be
brought on to the table roasted.
Roast potatoes should always have
little bit of skin clipped off at either
end, to allow the steam to escape,
and to prevent their becoming sod
den before they are thoroughly done.
Such brush is also very useful in
washing beets and various other root
vegetables, all of which are probably
just as well cooked in their skins, and
peeled when they are done-the tur-
nip being the only exception of this
rule, as it acquires bitter flavor when
boiled in its jacket.

wards, to renew the gloss, rub them
briskly with a piece of dry flannel.

There are many girls who retire at
night thoroughly tired, land forgetting,
therefore, to wash their faces just be-

great mistake, both on account of
health and beauty. Not only does any
particle of dust on the face have time
to create havoc before morning, but
if cosmetics have been used, it is
disastrous neglect; the poisons Or

Miss Anuie Carlisle, daughter Of
Thomas Carlisle the deceased ship build.

nesday, Feb. Sth, 1898, to Mr.. Darwin
Stil,man c lllins of South Dakota. The
cermony was performed by the Rev I.
Howell Geare, rector of Christ
Church Milford The Carlisle man sion
was handsomely trimmed with holly and
Evergreen. while roses laden the air with
their fragrance. Much of this beautiful
effect was made by and under the artistic
tasle of the bride, assisted by Miss Annie
B Watson and Mrs. S. F. Reedy. As
the bride and groom entered the parlor
they faced the clergyman. and surrounded
by hundred happy faces of their rela,
tives and friends, they were made man
and wife according to the ritual of the
Episcopal Church It was a pretty we'd
ding and every one appeared happy, but
no one more SO than the bride and groom
for it was a love match which their
consummated that had grown
since childhood, and which had stoud
the test of years OF separation by dis
tance. The presents were useful, costly
aud beautiful, and kilograms of congrAtu-
lation came from many who were unable
to be present. A splendid wedding feast
was served and the bridal party took the
afternoon train for a bridal tour whose
destination was kept private.

morning on Walnut street. The Presi-
dent of Town Council was left in charge
of B. D. Anderson's grocery store that
morning, and as he was smoking a cigar
he concluded to walk up and down the
pavement. While his back was turned
lady entered the store without his know
ledge, aud it happened that he at that
moment desired to go to his home-two
blacks away. So going to the door he
locked it and went his way. The lady was
a prisoner t,r ten or fifteen minutes until
some one notified the President of Town
Council of what lie had done, and then
amid prefuse apology and bushes from
that gentleman the lady and the mer-
chants on that row laughed over the in
cident The President is one of the most
courteous gentlemen in the town to ladies,
and his modification at this little incident
was enjoyed by his friends.

A new plan for keeping order during
the distribution of mails in the postofice
went into effect last Monday evening.
The postmaster looked up his book OF
rules, and found that he had right to
lock the doors and keep all outside the
main entrance until the mail is changed.
Tor a week or more crowd of boys,
young men and girls have made so much
noise by laughing, talking and pushing
one another around the office, that it has
not ouly annoyed, but prevented rapid
distribution of the mails. The town au-
thorities were asked to furnish an officer
to keep order among these people at the
evening mail time; but the officer either
failed altogether, or did not try-so the
locking out process will be applied. 1t is
a good thing for those who go for the pnr-
pose OF getting mail
