WEDDING ETIQUETTE.

A wedding breakfast is the correct
form of entertaining nowadays. This
is in every way as formal as dinner,
though the ladies do not remove their
bonnets. Bouillon, salads, birds,
oysters and other hot and cold dishes
are served. When the health Of the
bride and groom is proposed the
groom responds, and in turn proposes
that of the bridesmaids, the best man
returning thanks for them. Break
fasts en- buffet are quite as much in
vogue as the sit-down functions, and
many more guests may in this way
be served comfortably and far more
quickly.
Wedding presents are sent any time
within two months of the wedding,
and are arranged artistically for ex-
hibition if the brides family desire
them to be shown. The bride should
write a personal note Of thanks to
each donor.
After giving about an hour and an
half to her guests the bride returns
TO change her dress. Upon coming

met by the groom, and after a fare
well to the family they drive off in a
shower of rice, old slippers and good
wishes. During the reception the
guests offer their kind words, usually
wishing the bride much happiness
and congratulating the groom.
Wedding cake is packed neatly in
pretty boxes, each guest taking one
as they leave the house. Wedding
favors-anothe English idea-are of
white ribbon and artificial flowers,
and are used to decorate the horses
ears and the servants coats.
No reply to wedding invitation is
required, but all invited guests must
call upon the young couple upon
their return from the wedding
journey. Philadelphia Times.

FRENCH MOTHERS.

There is nothing more touching
and noble in the world than the in
timacy between French mother and
daughter-the mother giving to her
daughter all her time, all her
thoughts, molding her with infinite
devotion, living for her alone, writes
Th. Benton in the Ladies' Home
Journal. She accompanies her to
her lessons, directs her reading,
watches day and night to guard that
ideal purity which by singular in
consequence will be sacrificed, ninety
chances out Of hundred, to a man
whose life will have been quite the
contrary. The mother cannot reform
marriage as it exists in France-it is
an institution full of defects-but
she can teach to her daughter all the
virtues to meet the sorrows which
almost certainly await her.

crepes come in fine stripes, while
alternating with some pale tint, and
are sixty-fiye cents "a yard. Cling
hams are striped and dotted with silk,
which gives them "a charming lustre,
and also increases their price con-
siderably. A touch Of color of Just
the right sort gives it an individuality
that the gayest gown can never show.
A woman who could not afford a
new gown this year, and still knew
she must have one, cut out the back
of the black gown she had, set in a
soft and silky material, edged it
around with "A narrow bit OF fur, put
frill Of lace below that, then filled
in the neck with cream-white crepe,
shirred to a velvet-folded collar OF
pale apple green. A softtwist Of the
velvet about the waist, tied in little
stiff bows on either side the front,
made the old gown much more at
tractive than many Of the new ones.

STYLES FOR YOUNG GIRLS.

Many young girls will be delighted
with the dainty bows for the hair
which are so fashionable now. Two
styles are especially popular For
the first, four bows of velvet ribbon
are tightly tied with two outstanding
ends of the same. Rose-colored vel
vet is the favorite, and when n tiny
bow Of white lace is introduced the
effect is charming on pretty brown
hair. These can be worn with a
rouleau of velvet or can be fastened
in the hair with fine steel crescent
hairpin. The other popular bow
really consists of four ends Of cross
way velvet arranged two on each side,
with n tie in the center. The outer
ends are longer than the others and
are cut in vandykes. On orange,
blue or pink bows of this kind a
narrow jet trimming is run on little
way within the edge. Another dainty
ornament for the hair is a rouleau OF
blue velvet and FIVE rosettes of blue
silk lisse. The rouleau is worn
across the top and around one side
OF the coil OF the hair. Near the
front end blue butterfly is lightly
placed above good sized rosette.
The smaller rosettes are placed on
the band at intervals, two being quite
at the end.-lNew York Advertiser.

FANCY BAG FOR DUSTER.

1t is the correct thing-and the
convenient thing as well-to keep a
duster in every room. One can often
employ few minutes in banishing
the bloom Of time" il only duster
is handy, when the necessity Of hunt
ing for one would quite spoil ones
desire for cleanliness. The accom-
panying sketch shows an easily made
bag. 1t is Of cream-colored linen,
quickly worked with dots and con-
ventionalized flowers in outline stitch.
The bottom is shirred up, finished
with frill Of lace and tied with a
bow Of ribbon. The top is also edged
with lace, with n casing for draw
string just below it. This is tied in
n bow and forms a suspension loop.
Flowered or fancy silk may be used,
if one is not inclined to fancy work.

THEY WEAR BIG SHOES.

An observant traveller in Paris saws,
according TO the Chicago News
French women have the prettiest
feet in the world, presumably because
they take the best care of them.
They never dream of torturing their
feet by wearing pointed toes and high
heels on their walking boots, even
though they walk far less than their
English sisters. IL, as rarely happens,
their feet are broad and pudgy, they
select a shoe much longer in size than
is necessary and thus decrease the
apparent width. Soft kid they
choose, because it is more comfort
able to wear and can be fitted more
snugly than heavier leather. One
place on the foot is always tight, and
that is over the instep."
Says the same traveller: THE
average English woman goes into the
shop and insists that she wears a
shoe two sizes smaller than her num-
ber. She will die for principle and
she wouldn't lie to save her own
husband from the gallows, but the
best Of them all is perfectly I'M
principled when it comes to the
matter of shoes. Having announced
that she wears three shoe when she
needs a four, she insists that it is
plenty large enough and hobbies out
on her poor cramped toes just to show
the impertinent shopman how mis-
taken he was. The result is that the
new boots are never comfortable until
they have been stretched quite out
of shape and are worn and shabby.
Some men claim that they can
tell whether woman is married or
single by the ethics Of the boot, for
single women are more inclined to be
careless in these small details than
are married women, whose husbands
call them to order as to the buttons
and heels. And observing men in
sist that when perennial girl really
gives up all hope you can see it in
the comfortable fit of her boots be-
fore she will acknowledge it to her
self or to her Maker.
Now, the real secret Of a WELL
dressed foot is this: Buy the new
shoes large and comfortable in fit. A
new boot of large size is neater and
more attractive than worn one ever
so small and the foot looks smaller
in it, -

HYGIENE AND COSMETICS.

Hygiene is a science of modern
times. 1t has grown from small be-
ginnings until at present it is the
most important part of physician s
study. The aim Of hygiene is to find
out the most favorable conditions of
human life. as well as the means of
preventing disease. IL we speak of
the hygiene of single organ or a
group of organs, it becomes n matter
OF determining the conditions under
which this organ can attain its most
suitable and complete cultivation, so
as to be of the greatest use to the en-
tire individual.
By cosmetics we understand those
means by which mankind undertakes
to make his body, or any Of its
organs, pleasing to the eye-that is,
with the idea of being healthy and
strong, on the one hand, and well
formed and handsome on the other.
Any cosmetic which helps TO inn
prove and beautify an organ without
injuring the health is helpful to
hygiene. In other cases, however,
although the desire to be beautiful
is natural, the cosmetics used are
injurious. Then the health suffers,
and the cosmetic becomes a wicked
enemy to hygiene. II one applies
himself to n careful and scientific
care OF the skin, he must employ
very important hygienic means. III
one makes his head tender by con-
tinually wearing covering which
will not allow the air TO come through,
premature badness will be the re-
suit. III one considers the normally
built human foot beautiful and has a

Protect the Wells.

A scientific experiment has been
made in Europe to demonstrate from
what distance impurities can be car
ried by percolation through the soil
from a distant point upon its surface
to a well from which family's sup
ply of water was obtained. A salt of
lithium, which can readily be detect
ed in water, was spread upon a plot
Of ground 450 feet away. The water
was daily examined, and on the
eighteenth day the presence of lith-
ium was apparent in the water. II
it had been the excrement from ty-
phoid patient, as happened in another
case, when the nurse threw the dis
charges into an open wheat field some
hundreds of feet from the spring we
should no doubt have had, as hap
pened in that case, an epidemic of
typhoid fever-for this is the way it
is often communicated in country
districts. The above statement
ought to lead to an examination of
every well, for well water in the
country is often seriously injured by
the draining into it of kitchen waste,
or by being too near the privy or barn
yard.
Professor Henry Hartshorne, in
Our Homes, says that of the danger
Of injury to health from polluted
wells it is hardly possible to say too
much. The water may be clear and
bright in appearance and agreeable in
its taste, yet dangerous to health.
He gives, also, certain facts concern
ing lead pipes which ought to be
known. Distilled water, rain water
and soft well water will dissolve
enough lead from pipes to make them
poisonous. 1t requires but one-tenth
of grain of lead per gallon to affect
very susceptible people with lead collie
or even lead palsy. A wise precau-
tion is always to allow the water to
run for a while and empty the pipes
before using for drinking or cooking.
Every kitchen drain should have a
trap, for sanitarians aver that kitchen
drainage may become almost as bad
as sewage from house and street
waste, so also must every kitchen
sink and slOp sink have the same pro-
lection, if you desire health in your
family

An Advantage Of Twin Screws.

The great value of the twin screws,
apart from the increased speed which
they give. was shown in the case of
the steamship Paris, belonging to the
American Navigation Co. Although
the rudder Of the Paris was broken,
she remained under control and, by
the use of her twin screws, was
turned about and returned to port.
Such accidents are relatively rare,
but when they occur it is usually in
rough weather, when steering gear is
most needed. The ships with twin
screws have in effect duplicate rud-
der, and are thereby rendered that
much ssfer.-lPhiladelphia Ledger.

A slab OF gold carved to represent
an artist palette, the colors being
symbolzed by a setting Of emeralds
and sapphires, makes an attractive
scarf pin.
A fashionable craze for the anti
quated is still rampant. Various
pieces Of jewelry to meet this fad are
being produced after the sixteenth
and nineteenth century designs.
"Tom Thumb" hens (measuring
less than third Of an inch) are seen
on plain linens Of various tints.
Among these are sky-blue, rose, stem
green, sage, china-pink, sulphur,
corn, yellow, etc.
The Eton jacket is still an import
ant feature in many stylish gowns.
A very effective gown of golden brown
bure shot with silver has truly
charming little Eton jacket finished
with lapels Of sable.
One dainty little evening dress OF
soft white crepe is finished with a
jaunty jacket Of white velvet,
spangled with gold sequins, and hav-
ing scroll border, embroidered
heavily in gold thread.
Trimmings OF circular character
are rapidly passing out of fashion,
and in their place we have panels or
simulated underskirts of velvet en-
broidery or braiding, and overskirts
that are frequently slightly draped.
Some of the new silk underskirts
have broad lace insertion let in in
horizontal bands above the lace frill-
ing, and the nightgowns show yokes
OF lace, pretty epaulettes to corre-
spond, and capes of sufficient inn
portance TO have formed an outdoor
garment in days of yore.
New plaids in silk, wool and silk
and wool are constantly appearing
and those who admire them and wear
them have fine scope for choice. The
Forbes, the Mackenzie, the Gordon
and the famous Forty-second tartans
are all favorites. These plaids show
combination Of green with black,
and this is one Of the uniforms Of
colors which fashion just now partic-
ularly affects.
The skirt now most worn in Paris
is never more than four and a-half
yards wide at the bottom, and is fire.
quently much narrower, giving the
desired effect Of the godet plaits that
are SO often seen in the back. A thin
strip of aluminium, which is both
strong and flexible, is inserted in n
narrow tape sewn around the extreme
edge. The presence Of this support
is quite imperceptible, but is invalu-
able for keeping the gown in position.
A novelty waist-garniture is a
Medici collar, ayoke that ends Just
over the bust and extends straight
across the back at the shoulder
blades. To the sides of this yoke are
sewn enormously full ruffies that fall
over the sleeves. These ruffles are
pointed, the peaks falling almost to
the elbows. The ruffles in front and
at the back are much shorter. This
trimming is usually made OF heavy
material, figured velvet or elaborately
embroidered cloth being preferred.
The summer materials are exqui-
site French organdies, with silk dots
OF pale blue, lavender. rose or yellow
scattered over white surface, and
