Odd Portiercs.

A pair of very odd but artistic por-
there's were made from nothing more nor
less than one of those old fashioned blue
and white coverlids woven by some old
time ancestress, a copy of which isdoubt-
less laid away in many an attic. 1t had
a seam in the middle, and when this was
ripped it gave two curtains yard and
a quarter wide by two and rather more
than IA half long. English crewels iii
deep old pink, dull red, deep cream, or
ange and contrasting shade of blue
were used in working over the blue and
white squares tremendously with vari-
Gus fancy stitches. The work was quick
ly but effectively done, and the result,
owing to the harmonious blending of the
colors, was most satisfactory.

The old fancy for ruf1ies, which dates
back to the days of our grandmothers, is
revived again, and thin dresses are some
times ruffiel all the way up to the waist
with lace, chiffon, or the same material
as the dress.
A pretty striped batiste of any fancied
color is made with wide accordion
plated iiounce ut the bottom and a gath
cred lace rutile over it. Such a finish of
ribbon is a contrasting shade. The
waist is full and the sleeves have three
ruffies trimmed OH the edge with ribbon.
a dainty organdie dress is apple green
IL color, figured in pink and violet. The
round skirt is trimmed with bands of
fine Swiss embroidery or lace insertion,
as fancy dictates. Such gathered waist
has wide belt of violet velvet. and
knots of the same hold i'll place the long
organdie ends in the front. The deer
collars and plastron are of the pink or
candle, and the pulled sleeves are finished
with velvet bow.
A desire for ruff1es can be gratifed in
one style of dress illustrated. 1t is of
cream white foulard silk, figured in n
Dresden pattern, with lavish use of
lace on the skirt. The yoke can be of
lace or silk crepon, which is stripped
around with rows of narrow beaded
trimming. The short oversleeves are
covered with lace ruffies
Another quaint style for foulard has a
festooned flounce of white lace caught
up with bows of ribbon on the bottom
of the skirt. The bodice is widely opened
over chcinisette Of silk muslin, gagged
from the chest to the waist with restor-
alton revers edged with lace dropping
over the shoulders and meeting like a
bertha i'll the middle of the back. The
pulled sleeves end in bunch of ribbon
and lace frill.

Trimmings of ct and Lace-Wide Effects
Still Hold Their Own.
The one object in life, i'll the opinion
of the New York Sun, mt the present

And the choice is wide and varied, old
fashioned muslins and dainty organizes
being added to the list of fashionable
thin goods. Batistes, open net and
mousselaine de sole are equally desir-
able, but the most popular material is
soft. beautifully patterned grenadines,
and when made over changeable silks,
with the prevailing color brought out in
relief on the waist for becoming effect,
they are exceedingly handsome dresses.
A little jet for Il finish is IL pretty addi-

of similar style, which is sort of a net
i'll which are woven stripes of ribbon in
sertion or jet, and it gives the appear
ance of elaborate trimming without

A lawyer defending a promissory note
went to lunch, leaving his books and ci-
tations ON the table in the courtroom.
The opposing counsel sneaked back into
the room and changed the places of all
his bookmarks. In the afternoon the
lawyer, taking up his books, referred the
court to his authorities. His lordship
noted every volume and page carefully
and took the case under consideration.
In rendering his opinion he said:
81 was inclined after hearing argu-
ment of counsel for defendant to nom
suit plaintiff, but l find, after referring
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
none of them bear on this case, and l
am led to think that the gentleman has
been willfully trying to insult the court.
He has referred me to an action of an
hishman who sued the proprietor of q
monkey for damages for biting him to a
case Of arson, one of burglary, two Of
petty larceny and three divorce cases,
none of which bears on an action to re-
cover on a promissory note. Perhaps
the grossest insult to the court is refer
ring to 'Duckworth versus Boozyman,'
an action charging defendant with
breach of promise. Judgment for plain
tiff with COSTS"
The lawyer never knew what the mat
ter was and to this day thinks the Judge
was out of his sminG.-Pearsons Weekly.
