the pretty neglige was dOnned for just
such q purpose. The charm of the
house dress is of course due to the fact
that an air of reserve is attached to it
and that it is worn only in the home.
If it were to appear in all sorts of pub
lie places it would cease to be beautiful.
There are house gowns and house gowns.
Some are very beautiful, others eX-
tremely ridiculous. A house gown prop
er is not one of those ugly affairs some
times designated as a wrapper" but
one pretty enough in which to entertain
a small company.
Do you want TO hear about some house
dresses that formed part OF the trou-
SeauS of two of last weeks brides? One
of them was very sweet and womanly.
1t was made of light shade Of tan hem
rietta. There was a front of pale green
silk and a mass of soft cream lace.
There was one other gown in this
brides outfit that was not a house
gown, but is worthy of mention. 1t
was also of tan. The skirt was
gored one, plain except for two rows of
wide satin ribbon at the foot and which
terminated in two bows on the side. The
bodice was a round one with buttelles
of dull green silk and some more Of the
satin ribbon. Oh, yes! that other house
gown. Well it belonged to the other
bride. 1t had an air of greater dignity
than the first, being of dark green silk.
There was a pinked fiounce of hello
trope silk around the bottom and down
the front; there was also a row of the
fiouncing down each side seam.
But the prettiest one of all was that
worn by a beautiful young lady who en-
tertained a Thanksgiving party and
which was made of white bengaline and
green velvet The front of the bodice
was almost entirely concealed by an ar
rangement of green chiffon. Pretty
green butterfly pins held the chiffon in
place. DO you know what d lovely COM

Pretty bureau sets for a young lady's
room are made OF white scrim and con-
sist of a scarf lined with pale blue sat
teen, two small square mats and one
larger one. The scarf is just the size
of the top OF the bureau and has a
broad hemstitched border surrounded
by wide lace, plain except at the cor
ated with scattered flower design en-

mats are similarly ornamented, but re-

one decisive advantage-they can be

Firmness with Children.

So much good advice is preferred to
mothers that the coming generation
should be a well nigh faultless race.
Herbert Spencer writes: Consider well
beforehand what you are going to do,
weigh all the consequences, think
whether your firmness of purpose will
be sufficient, and then, if you finally
make the law, enforce il uniformly at
whatever cost. If the consequences you
tell your child will follow certain acts
invariably ensue, he will soon come to
respect your laws as he does those of
nature"

OLD FAD HASTINGS

The Old Colony Memorial, Plymouth,
Mass, has this to say of the above play,
which Is to be given at the town hall on
the evening of Tuesday next, the 18th
inst: "Old Zad Hastings and his gal
Chip was presented last evening at Davis
opera house to crowded house. Mr..
Claude Pelham as Zad Hastings, the
country constable, was far above the
average Yankee comedian. His quaint
sayings were enjoyed by every one
present. Miss Kitty Arymau as the
gal Chip is IA very pretty and vlvacious
actress. Mr.. Pelham has written several
plays, but tins is the first original one
he has stayed. The central figure, from
which the play gets its name. was por-
trayed by the author something after
the "Uncle JOSH style, and was well
costumed and enacted. A handsome
setting was the view OF East river with
Brooklyn bridge Illuminated, and ferry
boats plying across the water. Another
effective scene was the lightning express
tram, which mad the Accomplishments of
headlight, steam and all. aud tore
across the stage like flash. The hay
pressing machine in operation and the
old mill with real water working the
water wheel were very realistic. The
company are far above the average.

ODD FACTS ABOUT NUMBER NINE.

Most of Us thinl. numbers aIe the
stupidest things IN the world But
there are some rather curious facts and
fancies connected with them The mum
Der nine is, perhaps, the first as regards
such experiments, although number
seven i more prominent in literature
and history
me odd thing about number nine is
that when YOU once use il. you can't get
rid of it. 1t will turn up again no mat
ter what you do to put it down and
out
Some wise men once tried all sorts of
tricks with il, and found out this strange
fact in regard to it.
All through the multiplication table
the product of nine comes to nine No
matter what You multiply with, or how
many times you repeat or change Che
figures. the result j. always the same
For instance twice Hlnr-lS; add and
|. and YOU have Q. Three times nine-
81; , and : make 8 again. Go on until
YOU try eleven times nine--99 This
seems 10 bring an exception. But add
the digits-9 aud Q make IS; and again.
! and 5 make 9. Go ON to an intcrmiu-
able extent, and the Thing continues.
Take any numbers at random. For eX-
ample, $50 times 9=l050, and the digitS.
added, make 0 once more. Take G000
times $4,000, and again we have >
and 1.
4 French scholar tells US another
queer fact about this number nine. Take
any row of figures, reverse their order
and subtract the less from the greater
the total Will certainly be always nine
or multiple of nine. For example,
take -l7O5=33G6. Add these digits
and YOU have lS-and and make the
familiar ..
You have the same result no matter
how YOU raise the numbers by squares
or cubes.
One more way is shown by which
number nine shows its strange powers.
Write down any number you please. add
its digits and then subtract the sum of
said dgIts from the original numbers,
No matter what number You start with.
the sum of the digits in the answer will
be 8.
Try these experiments and you will be
delighted with the exact manner in
which they prove the statements Some
quaint puzzles have been made based ON
| these fixed principles.

SPRING SEASON, 1893.

At the beginning of this, our 35th sea-
son, we come To our customers and
friends through the medium of newspa-
per aud circulars, as in no other way are
we able to greet Il large number of our
customers, who live miles away, so that
we seldom have the pleasure of meeting
them in our store. BY our advertisement
and circulars only are we able to give
them some idea of our constantly in
creasing business, and also bring to
them britf fly by descriptions such styles
as we are satisfied will be fashionable
aud at the same time practical.
ClOaks. suits, millinery and waists,
spring garments in general, eccentric
aud oullandish as some of the styles
may appear, never before lent themSelve
much to the laws of beauty as this
season.
Capes will be very popular in diff rent
lengths, with more or less broad collars.
The newest things are from - to 2G
inches long, very wide, with braid collars
forming the yoke. These Will be worn
very full with velvet, lace and ribbon
ELECTS. Plain cloths are mostly used,
light shades being very desirable.
Jackets are, now as always, stylish,
and cannot fail TO please the most fastid-
ious. Close-fitting backs, loose fronts
and full skirts are the latest. made to
meet requirements of the wide skirt.
Butterfly capes in cloth and velvet eff
feet, with bishop, puff or balloon sleeves.
from y to 30 inches long.in plain cloths,
black, blue, brown and tan.
Suits will be more popular this season
than ever before, and will largely take
the place Of newmarketS, especially for
travelling. Blazer, Elton and cape
suits are all good. Waists will have
their greatest season. SILK waists have
the preference, foulard pongee, surah,
merveileuX, plain, printed and change
able are especially good.
MILLINERY.
This department of our store has been
a decided success. We succeeded. by
securing experienced, fl st-clasS milliners,
in building up this branch of our busi-
ness beyond our expectations. For this
season we are fully equipped and pre-
pared to place before our customers
millinery which for style cannot he sur
passed and at prices sure to please. We
employ in this department only milli-
ners of wide experience. and upon whose
Judgment and taste customers may safe
~ rely. We guarantee satisfaction.
We thank one and ali for their liberal
patronage and hope that our methods of
doing business have been such "a to
warrant continuance of the same.
Very respectfully,
