readily discarded. The newest are Of
cream colored net, upon which is ap-
pliQue, a design in cambria. This is
thickly covered with stitches OF colored
silk and gold thread.
Tussah silk, in the natural brownish
hue, is just being turned TO account for
bedSpreads. II is embroidered with silk
Of the same color and looks particularly
we'll when bordered with a frill OF soft
silk, blue, vieux-rose or green.
Handsome sideboard cloths can be
made Of coarse linen, with al Insertion
Of crochet, let in some three inches
above each end. The ends are bordered
with lace TO match, and q narrow edging
TO correspond is carried along the front.
Chiffon, either accordion pleated or
plain. is often used tor d~raping hand
kerchief sachstS, wall pockets, and
similar articles. A pretty shot effect
may be obtained by using the material
double, each layer being OF different
color.
The novel appliques for linen ara be-
coming extremely popular, giving a
wonderfully good effect at tho expense
Of remarkably little time and trouble.
The latest idea is to use them on either
silk or satin. and TO cover them closely
with stitches Of eolOred tloselle.
Shell combs and ornaments OF gro
tesoue shape should now be placed in
front Of the Psyche knot that is worn
on the top Of the head. Tue hair is
drawn into u small knot high on the
head and the comb in front Of the pert
knot is very becoming TO a bright faced
pretty girl.
A newell pincushion and scent sachet
combined can be made like a huge silk
bow. TIE loops are filled with scented
wadding, the tie in the middle is deco
rated with a large paste slide, the pins
being inserted in the space in the mid
die Of this. IL is either hung up or laid
fiat on the table.
Among the latest novelties for orna-
mentlng sachets OF silk or satin are
flowers, butterflies and other devices
made In lace. These are appliqued
lightly TO the satin, but are not entirely
covered with embroidery stitches.
They look pretty also on photograph
frames, covered with velvet or plush.
Sets Of three gold aud silver butter
flies in iligres, with some decided color
shading in the centre, are sold for the
waist, the top OF the shoulders and the
hair. There are some OF the most fairy
like lowers, such as pink mimOSa and
the tamarlsk, made in the same fligree
thread TO be used for the same purpose.
Cauldron English ware is new, and
an excellent choice for economical
h-ousekeepsrs, as il is easily replaced.
II is also claimed for it that it will not
chip easily, a great recommendation in
this age of careless servant girls. IL is
of a lovely cream tint, and, although
more costly than Hsvilsnd china, is
more durable aud better worth the Diff
ference in price.
The best aud most durable overs for
every day use are Of linen. They may
be cut the size Of the bureau, hem
stitched aud decorated above the hem,
with a key border lone ia white Flor

the durable Torchon being the best, or
they may have ladders Of ribbon on the
ends. 10 be taken out when the cover is

tate Referring to Ornaments?
Men are fond Of saying that earrings
are a relic OF %barbariSm, and so far no
woman has seriously disputed the state
ment nevertheless, they have been re-
called; from their state of %innocuons
desuetude, and once more the jeweller
has the fashionable dame by the ear.
Buyers are taken into the trying on
room TO get the effect Of artificial light.
There is a msid servant and toilet re-
q~uisites for a coiffure, for only a vul-
garian ever wears jewels in daylight
with a bonnet. Trays Of hoops, PEN
dants, screw solitares and ear bobs are
brought forth for inspection, and II
nothing In the collection pleases the
lady, her measure is taken, stones are
selected, finished designs are submitted
and the ornaments made TO order.
For more than two thousand years
the earring has l%uctuated with the tide
OF fashion. At one time the ear hoops
were two inches in diameter, and Only
forty years ago our s%wooning, light
headed, lachrymose mothers wore pen
dant ornaments as long as their tatting
shutlles. Those who could not afford
solid gold were content with LOADED"
earrings, and it was not until the ear
lobes gave out that the fashion, tor
which the vainglorious Eugene was re-
sponsible, changed. So wise a lady as
the Queen OF England adopted the wag-
ging bugles.
But this is not the point. Earrings
are in fashion again, and 1t remains to
be seen whether or not they will be the
style. II the bandeaux take-aud they
have taken in Paris-the earrings will
De indispensable to the broad or moon
faced ~ who adopt the coitfure.
Parting the hair and then drawing il
down TO or over the ears has the effect,
as every lady knows Of widening the
face, which is not the best view OF an
ugly face. By ornamenting the ears the
effect may be soitened or the attention
distracted.
But the sex is not as sheepish as II
was, aud Notwithstanding the official
stamp put upon the bandeau and the
bugle, the m of the world will study
her glass before adopting either.

The errors made by school children In
answering examination questions are
oitimes funny, but more often pathetic.
Some ex-school teachers were discuss
ing the subject the other day, and one
told Of the strangest answer he had
ever received in all the years he taught
school.
1t was In an examination in geog-
raphy. A set OF questions had been pre-
pared, none of which vas difficult. They
asked for definitions Of things Of that
kind. One OF the questions
was, Estate the difference between do
mestic and foreign commerce" Nora
Minnehan was a girl in the class. Nora
was sixteen years. old. She was not
very bright, and the chances were that
she had been taught owe her head all
the years she had been in school. Her
answer TO that question was, "Domes-

SHORT DEGREES OF THE MODISTES.

Plaids are to be a feature in dress
goods this fall; and q pretty feature
they are, too.
A decided decrease in skirt widths is
a noticeable characteristic OF autumn
fashions.
Fall bonnets will be without strings,
but they have ample bows OF silk or
velvet ribbon.
A brownish pink called clover color,
fax flower blue. dull greens and cycla-
men are among the most fashionable
colors.
HaircIoth and alpaca skirts, made
with three rutlles up the back and a
steel in the bottem, are prophetic OF a
crinoline scare.
Black serge dresses are trimmed with
watered silk, edged with ecru lace, and
black hopsacking is adorned with jet
and yellow lace:
Satins are exceedingly fashionable,
and are just the thingstor dressy cos
tunes, made up in the quaint styles OF
the Louis Philippe era. Black is by Tar
the most used.
Plumes are more popular than ever as
neck g%arnitures. One Of the latest fam
| cies for the theatre is a coilarette Of pale
green tips. thresped with points OF gold
thread.
Velvet is being made up as a trim
ming in such quantities as to warrant
the belief that it is an advanced fall
style. And there is nothing p~rettier or
more becoming in the whole category OF
trimmings.
Spangled or jetted net and chiffon
will be much used as a garniture for
handsome fall gowns. This material Is
used for the entire body OF the waist,
the %sleevei being Of the self-material.
Again it forms the sleeves, the body be-
ing Of the self.
A little 1880 toque is one OF the latest
Paris modes. 1t is brown basket straw,
and trimmed at the four corners with
bows OF brown miroir velvet aud jet or
naments, and in front finished with a
spray oof %clovers and black osprey. 1t
Is as charming as is novel.

tied In front or on the side, as they are
most becoming. and are made OF soft
silk, satin or MORE, with long ends,
falling almost 10 the bottom OF the
gown.
New collarettes are made OF a circular
piece of lace or chiffon. A hole is cut
in the middle and a narrow ribbon is
run in, by which tie material is shirred
up to st the throat. A frill Of lace, set
In very full, either gathered or plated,
has an insertion beading, with daisy
ribbon.
A soft gray or brown alpaca with
skirt well cut, and coat or bodice sim
plv made, according to taste or require
ment. can be handsomely trimmed with
piece or RIBBON velvet, MORE, or benga-
line, severaIly, according to the select
ed style, and the result be a stylish and
ladylike costume fit for any ordinary
occasion.
A lovely gown brought over TO grace
some early autumn function is OF black
and white Crocade, set of by britelles
of royal blue velvet, drawn through two
cut steel buckles ct the back of the
waist, the throat finished off with folds
of the velvet and the large pulled
sleeves caught down in two places with
velvet rosettes.

we shall have our ships manned by

there Is nothing in the nature OF things

II cannot be argued that woman
