Concerning Visiting Cards.

Ladies' cards are governed by the following rules: A married woman in society, especially with daughters, should always use the prefix Mrs" Widows and maiden ladies often prefer to use the simple name without prefix; fashion dictates otherwise. A young lady in society, having passed her first season, should, if the eldest daughter, use simply, for instance, Miss Both- we'll" If younger daughter, she should use her Christian name in full. In her first season debutante should engrave her name below that of her brother, her individual card not ap- bearing till the second season. On vis- iting with her mother the name of a daughter may be engraved below that of her mother; if separate, her card should always be left with her mothers card. The same applies to u plurality of daughters, the names being grouped.

FRAGRANT PILLOWS.

tokens batch of pillows for the pet divan of an invalid friend. Some of them might suggest to you an idea for your cushion-making.
 Of course denim is given first show ing in this graceful pillow array. A trio of fascinating sleep wooers have slips in golden brown, dark blue and flaming scarlet. Each denim back ground is webbed over with a curious design outlined with white linen floss.
 The struggling tendrils, half moons, pilot. wheels and graceful, intersect- ing geometric figures are not the work of professional "stamper," but were originated by the clever embroideress herself who, with piece of common white chalk, boldly traced her own patterns upon the denim covers.
 Besides the denim pillows, there is dainty conceit in white linen, pow dered with Pompadour flowerets, pinky rosebuds, old blue blossoms and but tercup-hued blooms. A full ruffle of Mechlin lace completes this delicate cover, which may be laundered as often and as satisfactorily as plain linen, if embroidered in washable silks.
 This pillow collection includes couple of Oriental looking fancies made out of an old Persian shawl whose wearing days were over. The circular shape of these head-rests af- lords an excellent display for the duslSy-colored fabric, which, carrying out decorative whim, is simply drawn in at the corners, and boasts of not the slightest trimming about edges or top.
 A hop pillow is going to soothe the future mistress of these slumber aids In many an hour of pain. Its fresh muslin cover, slipped over the hop-bag at will, may be sent to the wash as often as it soils, each time returning with pristine daintiness.
 A sage green satine cushion, crossed by bands of old gold ribbon, and an- other one in tones of gray and crim- son, are each to take their place among the tumble of charming sleep wooers. Golden Days.
