WORK FOR FAIR FINGERS.

One Of the prettiest modern mate
is the wire-twist etamine. II appears
to be a very coarse-meshed kind OF
scrim made in canvas weave Of cotton
thread, so tightly twisted as to be
wiry, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There are degrees Of fineness in the
materials, the coarse being very open,
and therefore most effective for GER
tain purposes.
For a table scarf a medium grade
Of etamine is used. The pattern
which is stamped upon it in outline
is pond lilies and their large, plate
like leaves. The outline is followed
in rope stitch with black silk. The
flowers are filled in with heavy white
silk in the longest possible stitching,
all running ~lengthwise Of the petal.
The leaves are filled with green of
the shade shown by an accurate study
Of the natural lily pad. The stems
have a line of greenish-brown worked
closely against the black stitching,
which covers the marking Of the
pattern.
The black outlining in this, as in
other designs, detracts a little from
the reality of the natural forms inn
itated, but it gives IA cameo-like effect,
which is now considered desirable in
embroidery. After working, the
piece is stretched upon a lining Of
satin and edged with Cluny lace,
which is headed by a band Of satin
ribbon.
A sofa pillow Of the very coarse
open-meshed etamine is filled with
yellow silk in cross-stitch, the pattern
of large peoples being first outlined
and veined with dark red and left
without filling. The design thus APP
pears transparent upon a shiny,
silken ground. The back Of the sofa
pillow is of plain satin the color Of
the needlework.

PRINCESS NAYS PONIES.

The Princess May, who married
Prince George of England, "A short
time ago, drives out every day in a
cunning little phaeton drawn by two
cream-white horses. These horses
were a wedding present to her from
Queen Victoria. The Queen has a
large stable full of cream-colored
horses. These horses are called "the
royal steed," because no besides
the Queen OWNS any just the same
color and size. The people of Eng
land, who are very fond of the pretty
young Princess, who will some day
become their Queen, are very glad
that she drives these cream-white
ponies, because now they can recog-
nize her a long way off, and can lean
from their windows and wave their
handkerchiefs when she passes, and
even go out in the streets and cheer
for her as she drives by New York
Journal.

Dredged Up . Cannon.

From the wreck OF a vessel that is
believed to have rested for more than
a century beneath the waters OF the
Delaware river, says the Philadelphia
Record, a cannon OF antique type
was recently hauled TO the surface by
the steam dredges that are scooping
UP what is left Of Smiths Island.
For some time past the .dredges
have been bringing up bits Of timber
that were evidently part Of a vessel
OF large size, and some Of which are
in a gQSd state Of preservation. The
finding Of the cannon set the Della
ware avenue gossips TO hunting up
old records, and &c was the general
belief yesterday that the wreck is that
Of a British ship which sailed up the
Delaware river prior TO the revolu-
tionary war, and, having become un-
seaworthy, was abandoned on the
edge Of the bar from which Smiths
island grew, and gradually sank until
buried under the sand. IL is believed
that more Of the ancient cannons
will be found, and developments are
awaited with a great deal OF interest.

There is much wearing of purple
by people Of all ages, no longer sub
hitting to the dowager's old usurpa-
ton of the royal color.
Skirts are still of generous breadth,
but have perceptibly decreased in
length, being now fashioned to just
escape the ground all round.
Panels are undoubtedly coming in,
but the more popular are those which
only reach halfway up the skirt and
are inserted in the seams
A figure that lacks breadth at the
shoulders is greatly improved by a
short, round waist that has a rather
full yoke and jabotted revers.
The Spencer waist is a perennial
favorite. An improved design for
this comfortable garment is among
the latest fashionable productions.
Co~at-basquAs that display all the
severe characteristics of a top gar
ment take more kindly to the tailor
finish than any other style of basque.

Peplums or basque-skirts are added
to short basques, with tunic effect.
@hey are smooth at the top and are
shaped to fall in natural folds all

Bretelles that are c%uriously pointed
on the shoulders, and q series OF
basque-skirts render a simple, close
fitting basque a very picturesque
garment.
There are some faint attempts at
classicism in garb, and various gowns
dubbed, ''Grecian" on scart pre-
tense are worn by slender girls in
flleted hair.
A quaint, old-fashioned air is given
a ''basqued' waist by the introduce
ton of a bretelle collar that closely
resembles the Puritan shape, and a
full, pointed vest.
There is, excepting only the short
skirt, more and more Of the Vatican

moisten the fringe with diluted bay

Take the back part of centre (Which
should again be divided in three) and
curl it backward, holding il firmly
for fully sixty seconds. The next

piece in the centre of the front for a

centre part downward, then curl the
side pieces back toward the coil.
Carefully attempt the tiny curl now
that you have left until the last in

hair (well moistened) upon a hot iron,
curling il towards the left and slowly
loosen it, pressing it while hot into

result in success. The alcohol semi

A Story About Two Noted New York
Lawyers.

When the news OF the rejection Of
William Ii. H~ornblower for Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee in Washington reached this
city, in the general discussion in law
offices over the affair there were
many comments rs to the origin of
the name Hornbiower. A knot Of
lawyers i'm an office i'm the Equitable
Building were debating whether the
name was of German or of Holland
Dutch origin, when a well-known
lawyer with gray hair and gray side
whiskers remarked with a smile;
Gentlemen, | cannot help To solve
the antiquity OF the word Hornblower,
but | ear illustrate its application or
a certain occasion"
Having thus adroitly stimulated
the curiosity of his friends, who
begged him to proceed with tho story,
the lawyer continued
You may remember the intense
interest the public took in the Grant
Ward failure and in the subsequent
hearings in which creditors sought to
