New York Evening Post.
Pretty tea-cloths or summer covers for
baby carriages are made from small and
dainty-embroidered handkerchief Joined

silesia. sateen or china silk. The lace
used is either Torchon or a fine imitation
Of Valenciennes. A lovely tea-cloth, having
much the same effect as the above. is

Gus smaller squares by threads drawn each
way across ii, SO that each square is Dor

New sofa pillows.


A comfortable big sofa pillow, worked
by his sweetheart's fair fingers, will prove
most acceptable TO the comfort-loving
young man. This may be made of grayish-
green denim embroidered in elaborate large
fieurs de lis. The five 1ower-like figures
are outlined with white linen floss, and a
few irregular dash lines of stitching are
run through the middle of each petal, the
tips being worked with narrow black-waved
braid. The centers of the figures and the
scrolls between them are inlaid work of
hlsck rope silk. The cushion is finished by
a wide frill of denim. Old rose denim, with
applied designs of white hopsacking, the
edges finished with heavy white cotton
cord, is lovely for a lounge cushion. All
the seams are to be joined with the heavy
white cord, and, If desired, decorated with
puffy little rosettes of the .hopsacking. A
craze for souvenir pillows has superseded
that for souvenir spoons. and now IL is the
bachelors who are reaping the benefit. The
gay society belle, at the end of the season,
collects pieces Of the materials from which
her gowns have been made, and the favored
one of her escorts receives a pillow made
of all sorts of fabrics-ranging from ging-
ham to brocaded s~atin-each meant to
bring to mind the occasion Upon which II
formed part of the gown worn.

The Children.

Only to keep them so,
Soft, warm and young;
The wee, feeble fingers,
The babbling tongue:
Tears that we kiss away,
Smiles that We win;
Careless Of knowledge
As guiltless of sin.
Only to keep them SO,
Frank, true and pure;
OF our full wisdom
So lovingly sure,
Our frown all they shrink from
Our fiat their law;
Our store whence all gladnesS
They f~earlessly draw.
Only to keep them so,
sweet hands that cling,
Sweet lips that laugh for us,
Sweet tones that ring;
Curls that We train to wave,
Feet that we guide,
Each fresh step a wonder.
Each new word a pride.
Only to keep them so,
Women and men
Are the TIMES that circled US
Lovingly then.
Gentle and good to US,
Patient and strong.
Guarding our weaknesses,
Bearing US long.
Tenderly hooking us.
Old thoughts and ways,
That scarcely keep easur
With life's rapid days.
Good to us-waiting.
Our sunset shows fairi
But. only 10 have them so,
Just as they were!

Faded Leaves.

The hills are bright with naples yet.
But down the level land
The beech leaves rustic in the wine
As dry and brown as sand.
The clouds in bars OF rusty red
Along the hilitops glow,
And in the still, sharp air, the frost
Is like a dream of snow.
The berries of the brier-rose
Have lost their rounded pride:
The .bitter-sweet chrysanthemums
Are dropping heavy-eyed.
The cricket grows more friendly.
The Cormouse sly and wise,
Hiding away in the disgrace
OF nature, from mems eyes.
The pigeons in black, wavering lines
Are swinging toward the sun;
And all the wide and withered fields
Proclaim the summer done.

Perfection in Dress.

To be well dressed nowadays a woman
must carry out the idea of her costume

All this detail obviously requires both time
and money, and it is no easy matter for a
woman to live up to the modern standard
In gowning herself. not one woman in a
hundred being really well turned out from
top to toe.
Feet remain forever young-looking as a
rule. and a woman of sixty may have as

shorten at the ankle" is. they say, one of

MRS. CELIA WALLACE.
A Rich woman's splendid Gift.

Mrs. Celia Whipple Wallace. the
wealthy Chicago woman who has
bought the beautiful Tiffany chapel
that attracted so much attention at
the Worlds Fair. is a woman remark
able for her business ability and exc
cutive power.
Her husband, John L. Wallace, be-
fore his death in 1878 foresaw Chi
cago's great future. and made invest
ments accordingly. After his death
the rapid growth of the city naturally
increased the value of the Wallace es-
tate. Mrs. Wallace is by birth and
education a New Englander. She
makes a graceful and dignified appear
ance at all times, is of medium height,
has a fair complexion. blush grey eyes
and soft fluffy hair. Her voice has
neither the southern drawl nor yankee
twang but Is very soft and with her
clear enunciation very pleasing.
In her gowns Mrs. Wallace satisfies
her delight in rich materials and fins
laces, yet her taste is so correct that
she is able to wear clothes so that
they seem to belong to the woman and
not the woman to them, the best proof
of good taste. Her jewels are very rare
and exquisite.
In 1882 Mrs. Wallace lost her only
son and child which was to her the
overpowering closing sorrow of a sor-

rowful life. and now she is alone i'm
the world so far as near relatives are
concerned Much of time and money
is devoted to the advancement of wo-
men, but she is so ayerse to anything
that savors of publicity that she re-
fuses to come before the public if she
can possibly avoid it. She is also in
terested along educational lines for
young men, as the two scholarships
she has given in the names of her
father and husband, one to Dartmouth
college and the other to Chandler
school of science and art, and the pc
cuniary and personal aid that she rem
dered to the Illinois school of agricul-
ture and manual training for boys will
testify.
Mrs Wallace bought the Tiffany
chapel with the purpose in mind Of
presenting it to some church or insti-
tuition, as a memorial to the Wallace
family. She has had several different
places in mind. among which are the
Art Institute at Chicago, Dartmouth
college, Saratoga Springs and ST.
Johns. cathedral in New York city.
There is a rumor that she is inclined
to give the chapel TO ST, Johns ca
thedral and with it a fund sufficient
for it's preservation.
The price paid for the chapel was
$50, O0O 1t is a different matter to de-
eide just what the money value Of this
chapel is.
Mrs. Wallace is such an enthusiastic
church woman and SO much interested
in art that it is to be hoped she will
see fit to carry out an idea suggested
by a mosaic panel in the chapel. In
this panel there are portrayed three of
the great doctors of the church, st.

When living in New York she had a

Mrs. Thomas A. Edison is rather
fond of the game, which is the only
one in which her husband INDUCES.
They have a very well appointed
billiard room at their home, Glen

it opens from the dining-room, and is
