Floor Cushions

Fireplace cushions of immense size and
unusually square are made from gay
colored cretonnes, mohair pushes, wooden
reps and changeable silks. The material,
colorlng and richness of them are decided
by the character of the room. AS they are
presumably for use, they should not be
too dainty. If used only for picturesque
effects, to produce the illusion of comfort
In some drawing room, to be looked at,
not lived in and enjoyed, they may be as
delicate as one pleases. Though seen on
carpeted floors, these and other floor
cushions, scattered in different parts of
room, look best on the bare spaces of
rug-covered floors. If the floors are of
light-coiored wood, ruby, old blue, and
golden-oliye cushions look charmingly
warm by their contrast. Such cushions
are filled with hair, and some of those
made by upholsterers contain springs.

-ent wrench to proprieties, it ought to be
found in the gown am about to describe

sier. have examined with some care
this simple and beautiful robe, and can
not perhaps serve my readers better than
by giving detailed description OF it.; the
more especially as it affords good land
mark OF what seems to be the turn of an
epoch in dress.
This gown is made on one piece. In
front there is short rounded yoke, TAX
ing in the shoulders. The garment hangs
from this with but very few gathers, be-
cause of a straight-gor seam down the
middle of the front, which relieves the
waist OF much fulness and gives elegance
to the gown. The back has no yoke,
but has two box plaits, each two inches
wide, laid close together down the middle,
from the neck to the bottom of the waist,

Physiogno1ny.

Long foreneads with spherical knobs in
the upper part indicate genius, pertina-
city without decision, coldness, varied by
fits of impetuosity.
In the perfect mouth the upper liz
should have its middle line deeply sunk,
and the lower lip should be not more
prominent than the upper.
Large, open and transparent eyes,
which move rapidly and sparkle in ex-
element, indicate good taste, dIscernment
pride and often irrltability.
Ears, the lobes of which run straight
down into the cheeks, are rarely found
save on persons of a thievish disposition
all kleptomaniacs have such ears.
Strongly projecting foreheads, which in
the upper part, retreat to a marked degree
associated with a long undertake, are
certain indications of folly.
Men of marked ability in any line have
usually one deep, perpendicular wrinkle
in the middle of the forehead, with one OF
two parallel to it on each side.
Whenever, in Laughing, three parallel
curves are formed in the cheeks round the
corners of the mouth, the indication is
of Stiffness and stupidity.

To destroy ants soak pieces of q sponge
in vinegar and water and place on the
shelves. When the sponges are filed
with ants, which will be in about an
hour, drop them into bucket of boiling

Pie plates that have been much used
for baking are apt to impart an unpleas-
ant taste to pies, which is owing to the
lard and butter OF the crust soaking into
them and becoming rancid. 1t may be
removed by putting them in a brass ket-
tie, with ashes and cold water, and boil
ing them an hour.

Captured a Mountain GRAY EaeIe,

On Tuesdy last the passenger train was
stopped Just this side of Cannon to cap
ture magnificent gray eagle, which
seemed to have been side-tracked by a
wound.
A general chase was given and Attorney
Rapp being in the lead, threw his over
coat over the fowl and brought him to
bay-or Logan, just as you please.
The bird is a magnificent specimen of
the mountain gray eagle and weighs
twenty-five pounds. 1t probably struck
the telegraph wire and hurt its wing. 1t
must, however, be very young bird for
there are no rings on its claws, and when
fed, holds its head up like Nesting. On
Wednesday it was fed two pounds of
raw meat and will be given about one
pound per day hereafter. -Logan Nation.

broidered delicately with some markings

designed this blouse from an Oriental idea
that had bell sleeves, the great defect of
Turkish dress. Make the sleeve as shown
in the picture, ample and shaped round
the armhole, but straight and turned
back some five or six inches at the wrist
and embroidered. The wide Oriental
belt shown in the picture, of the color
and material of the vest, can be dispensed
with, though it is very ornamental.

SalIie 7. Mckay.

When met her in the ballet she was
number 10 by tally, and her name was
simply Sallie j Mckay.
She'd the poetry of motion, was in line
for quick promotion, when, alas, she
took notion she'd go away.
In year there came letter, saying
she'd been i'll, was better, and as soon as
they would let her she'd come back.
She Enclosed her dearest wishes, and in
phrases most delicious sent her love, with
lots of kisses in its track.
Then the years went by me smiling,
while through Europe she went flying,
kicking ceilingward, beguiling with her
feet.
She had changed her name to Chello,
and had bleached her hair to yellow,
while she captured every fellow that she'd
meet.
All! tonight she was bewitchlng, with
her pose, pirouette and switching, and
my poor heart gave twitching and a
start
For the years went backward prancing,
while her passion eyes were glancing,
and again twas Sallie dancing on my
heart.-Karl, in the Philadelphia Music
and Drama.

and these, with the gored seam from
thence down, furnish the fulness OF the
skirt. The back fits smoothly over the
waist, but is without forms. The gar
ment is hooked up in the back between
the plaits. The sleeves are full and soft
at the top, the peculiar droop of the puff
being made by gathering not only round
the armhole, but also of the upper side
down the inside seam to the elbow turn.
They are pointed Medicis fashion on the
wrists.
The material is ground of mauve satin
cross matched with lines of black velvet
Velour pointinelle is the name for it. A
band of sable borders the yoke and the
skirt. The waist is confined by a jewelled
belt, a link woven gold chain enriched
with gemmed and enamelled bosses. The
pocket is a reticule of the velour lined
with mauve satin, sewed against the skirt
and having ribbon extending to the belt.
This gown is not intended for neg,ige,
but is a reception robe. Thus the pendu-
lum swings, and among many bad reviv-
ais OF the moment can be noted the occa-
sional piece with some intrinsic claim to
beauty. Not more than year ago / ad-
vocated and described such g garment as
this for the old. / should not then have
dared to suggest it for the young. Now it
bears the highest stamp OF the mode.
STYLE REcoNcILEs ALL.
There is, after all, Tut one style, for all
are reconciied by the ideal OF the moment
In what does it consist? The skirt wide
at the bottom, bordered and reaching the
ground; the round waist, belted and with
out darts; the emphasis of horizontal
lines, particularly round the bust; the
sleeves pulled at top and without orna-
ment; the front hair rising high above the
forehead, even when banged; the small
bonnet with its standing plume or pom
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-01-29

/, for waists. They hang from the neck
down over the bust, or from the height of
the bust down below the belt-the latter
is most chic, or from the shoulders down
round the armhole to the depth of the
waist. Jet belts also enrich black silks.
They are very narrow or else fancifully
wide and shap ped to the figure. Fine Jet
is used also to embroider silk and velvet,
as have mentioned before, which adds
another TO the tasks Of the sewing
woman.
NEW WAISTS.
Many waists are being made with d.
agonal fronts in surplice manner. The
Shoulders are plain and the sides are
crossed and drawn down in gathers, a
bow being placed at point on the out
side where the gathers center. Sometimes
they center at the belt, but often
one side is plain and high, and the
other is drawn across and gathered
at one side of the bust. Often
revers of velvet are made to reconcile
themselves with this sort of front. They
must be wide and faring, reaching well
out over the sleeves, a La Robespierre.
This is a good design for black silk day
gown. Our picture shows such a design
for black silk, with the lower sleeves
and the high gunupe embroidered with
jet. The skirt for this should be round
and full and trimmed with many rows of
velvet pipings. Another diagonal waist
with one side high has the diagonal line
cut to make an angie on the bust, and the
line is edged with fall of lace. A waist
of this character is shown in the red and
black novelty wool described above. The
