The Hostess Should BE Both Well In

Once upon time, as the fairy stories

town cut of from the great centres OF
activity. Her weekly dinners were the
most brilliant affairs OF the village. Her
evenings at home were suggestive Of a
salon. 10 was in the days of slow posts
aud weekly journals; days when the
mistress OF the house was allowed In
her kitchen, and a roasted hostess fresh
from the range, Hurried and dull, was
the common feature OF the dinner. Not
so with this gracious dame. Early 10
the day her simple preparations In the
kitchen were finished; then with orders
rot to be disturbed, she turned the
kew OF her bedroom, brushed the pastry
from her delicate old hands, and as she
said, Made ready for company" For
two or three hours she read
all the available news of the day.

VARYING STYLES.
Take Your Choice Between Two Evils OF
Fashions Caprice.

Here are the Scylla aud Charybdis OF
the season-the rival styles Of 1880 and
the em pire-so take your choice o! the
two evils, mesdames, II you wish to be
fashionable. But whatever you do be
consistent and do not try 20 serve two
mistresses. Do not "do" your hair In
empire fashion and wear an 1880 gown.
For the latter style the hair should be
slightly curled over the forehead and
worn with high comb and loops Of
hair or ribbon on the top of the head.
One or two ladies who are nothing II
they are not thorough have adopted the
forehead ornament OF a single jewel or
pendant arrangement Of smaller jewels.

Wool Market Conditions.
BrddstreerS.

It appears to be the general opinion In
the wool trade that more new-clip wool
will be consigned than heretofore and thai
imported wool will remain in bond until
sold. Manufacturers will continue their
conservative policy of buying only small
amount Of wool at time, and will watch
more closely than ever the movement OF
stocks in the goods market. Foreign man
ufacturerS are Of the same opinion as do
nestle manufacturers and dealers. They
are looking for not only removal OF the
duty on wool, but material reduction
of the duty on goods. They
have been buying freely al
all sales, and have forced an advance al
the London sales now being held. Domes
tic woods are moving slowly. Stocks are
light and desirable lots are generally
small. Manufacturers have been well rep
resented ia all markets. Sheariug has
commenced in the far Western States, anC
new woods will soon be on the markets il
considerable quantity. The advance il
London has not affected the price Of Aus
tralian woods in this country. Demand IL
rather light, and, while prices are very
firm, dealers are unable TO secure any adj
vance. Domestic woods are quiet bu
steady. A light trade is reported in car
pet wools
