The Brides belongings.

The day for the use of very elaborate en-
broidery or imitation lace on ones under
wear has gone by, and it is demanded that
the brides lingerie shall be of fine material
made by hand and daintily trimmed.
Women do not buy the great quantities of
underwear that they used to, for expert
ence has proved that it only grows yellow,
and in many instances grows absolutely
useless. One has gotten quite enough if
one elects to have six of each variety Of
linen or lawn, four flannel skirts and two
silk or alpaca ones. These with the under
wear already possessed are quite sufficient
to last one for a long time.
OF handkerchiefs one should have a doz-
en- white lawn ones daintily hemmed, fin
ished with fine lace and having a very
small cipher embroidered in the corner. /
do not advise the getting a number of fan
cy handkerchiefs they are useless and
have a rather common air. OF stockings
it must be said thatone should begoverned
by the style of shoes selected for the sum-
mer time wear With low, undressed kid
shoe should be worn silk, Isle or cotton
stockings of the same color, and four pairs
Of these would be required Almost all
women wear black stockings, and so there
would be wisdom in getting six pairs of
these, While only one pair of white silk-tO
be worn with the bridal slippers-is re-
quired.
If you have scarlet or gray shoes, then
you must have stockings to match them,
but the number required may be regulated
by the depth Of your purse. A pair of walk
ing shoes, pair of low shoes and pair Of
house slippers are all the shoes absolutely
required, and, as I said about the stock
ngs, the number selected may depend en-
iirely on the amount of money you wish to
spend. A parasol to go with your visiting
iuit and an umbrella are also counted |
.mong the necessities of a trousseau.-

to be Thought that America viii forever
content herself with mediocfity 10 the

The broad distinction between excellence
produced abroad and excellence produced
in America may be very clearly stated. II
IS in handwork Throughout the foreign
sections I have heard the words ''hand-
work, "all done BY hand, everything
hand-madep as p claim of virtue or merit,
till am tired of It, Tho inference is that
there can be no art without infinite pm
tieuce and toll with the hands. It is true
that the foreigners excel in those things
which absolutely require this Afe-weating,
time-oOnsuming, fnger-working toil-in
laces, millinery, enamels, cloissone, en-
broideries certain fancy articles, tapes
tries, carvings decorative or expressive.
We readily concede this. This is the sum
and substance of foreign superiority. But
for it America would be SO far superior to
the best Of the foreign countries that q
comparison could not well be instituted
between them
This is essentially the difference between
the foreign and the American process-the
foreigner produces with his hands, with
infinite toll and patience, while the Amer
lean brings his brain and his skill to labor
in the construction Of a machine which
win do quickly and cheaply the same class
of work. Take, for example, laces. In
Italy or Belgium a yard of fine lace is

number they have good grounds for feel
ing that the and of Providence has fallen

pretty and pc 3ular queen Of the tribes IN
America, Aiu Young, died about two
miles north of Ee Sc ST. Louis while paying
state visit to the camps OF the Mississippi
valley. The funeral took place in New
Jersey, and at That time it was virtually
decided thatthenext queen should be form
ally bailoted for at Dayton, o in septem-
Der, 1888
During the interval the several candi-
dates were to present their claims to the
several lodges in al parts Of the country,
so that when the GREAT meeting should e.
nally take place the work Of selecting the
fittest and most popular would be accom-
plished in short order. There were many
favorites from different states who were
put forward By the leaders Of the caravans,
and all set TO work with q viii to gain
votes from those who had the right to as

belonged received cougfatllatory letters
from different places aud q few were sent
from foreign lands, all expressing love and
admiration for the lady who would soon
have I he privilege of riding in the golden
chariot in which none but the queen dare
set foot
But some time last fall Mrs TIarrison's
iIstborn took sick, and in a couple of days
the baby was placed beneath the flowers in
Green Mount cemetery, Beileville. From
the day Of the funeral Mrs. Harrison COM
menced to decline in health, aud on Mon
day last she, too, hreathed her last.
Her deatlted was surrounded by many
of the leading people Of the tribes in Ifli-
nois, and il is said that tie usual ceremonies
attending such an event We're carried ont
with the Utmost precision and solemRs5y.
The tent fires were smothered. The stakes
were pulled up, and every yestige of egzsp
