GLOVES MADE TO ORDER.

Most Of the leaders in society in Eu-
rope have realized this absence Of COM
mon sense with regard to the purchase
Of ready made gloves, and accordingly
have their gloves especially made for
them in the same manner as their clothes
and shoes. Even those who have their
gloves made for them experience great
difficulty in securing perfect fit, and
the cutters of the great glove houses at
Brussels and France earn higher wages
than the cutters of the most fashionable
tailors in London and New York. So
great is this art Of cutting gloves that
most Of the principal cutters are known
to the trade by name and by fame, and
the peculiar knives that they use in the
business are so highly priced that they

PREMoN1TIoNs OF PANrERs.


Although paniers are not yet openly
favored by fashion, there are some indi-
cations that, before the season is over,
they may be arrived at by indirect ways.
Lace is gathered in deep aouhce to the
edge Of the round waist, in Russian
style. It is also set on the outside OF
the edge Of the bodice, gathered full,
and turned up edge to edge, then
dropped over the seam to have the effect
of q putting. It is applied in the same
manner on princesse dresses. Wider lace
is used on dinner and evening toilets,
this occasionally forming panier-like
draperies that terminate in long ends on
the back, caught to the dress by bows Of
handsome ribbon. The use Of lace will
constantly increase from this time on,
throughout the spring and summer,
forming tabliers, jabots on both skirt
and bodice, and plated in fans and coz
guile ruches to increase the faring effect
on the bottom OF the dress. Very short
trained bell skirts will have the flounce
all around the hens, while demi-trains
and full trains for brides and dowagers
will have it only on the front and sides,
leaving the sweeping breadths nm
trimmed. New York Post.

ABOUT SKIRTS.

The skirt is irrevocaDly evoluting to
greater width and consequent weight,
and the present chronicler cannot too
strongly urge the maxim, ''Be mod
crate" The modes now in vogue are
too graceful and convenient, and have
too much to commend them, for US to
relinquish them without struggle; and
because, few women, always eager for
any novelty, no matter how eccentric,
have wired ruffies in their skirts, it does
not follow that the inconvenient alb
surdity is la mode. For walking, skirts
are short, and simply trimmed around
the bottom; for the house, they are long,
ana sor evening they are trained, and
much more elaborate trimmings are adj
missible. When there is deep trimming
extending in widely separated bands or
ruffies to the knees, deep facing OF
crinoline, canvas, or even of horsehair if
the trimming is heavy, extends as high
as the trimming.
New skirts are cut fuller, from three
yards and three-quarters to six yards at
the bottom-this last for evening gowns
and gored but slightly at the top, .
little fullness extending all the way
around, either gathered or laid in fine
plaits.-Demorest' Family Magazine.

a True Bird Story,

My friend. James Shanock, threeyears
ago caught young lark, and it has been
pouring out It's song ever since then from
its cage, and very sweet note it is.
Some little while ago, as the afternoon
was sunny, the cage was hung outside in
the garden at the moment another lark
was caroling in the air, and Shanock's
bird rose from the cage, which was only
covered with a fine net. and in which
there must have been y rent, and disap-
peared in the direction of the other lark.
My friend, seeing this. at once began to
whistle, holding up the cage to attract
his pet back again, and in a very short
time down il came to his feet and waited
patiently while he gently replaced it in
its cage. There were three witnesses.
| believe, in this case,
The funniest thing, too, is that about
| the same time James Shanocks cat
brought him in little bird quite deli
| cately and waited for him to take it
from Its mouth quite uninjured, He is
great bird lover, and it looks as if the
cat, like everybody else, knew this fact.
