claimed, could be constructed without
much outlay. At the upper end of the
room a dais, from which two steps lead
to the floor, will be erected; and in the
middle of this place will stand the bow
er or arch, which will be securely fast
ened to the floor by screws.
This peculiar dais will be carpeted,
or n long rug will be spread over it.
For the background there will be pot
ted ferns, palms, or good-sized ever
green's lavishly ranged against the
wall. Then the arch will be trimmed
with all sorts of leaves and ferns.
White flowers will be added here and
there, which, even if sparingly used,
will make brilliant display, as few
flowers are wonderfully effective IL
artistically placed. The asparagus
plants at all weddings is very accept
able, with it's feathery branches, and
can be procured at all florists during
the winter months. For all weddings
the mantel-shelf can be made a charm
ing picture if draped in white. Scarfs
in all cream tones are very fashionable;
and flowers of every hue will add to
this scheme, although the white alone
is more fitting for bridal decoration.
Another woman of fashion has con-
ccived the brilliant notion of a new
wedding basket, instead of the usual
white paper wedding box. These small
affairs are made by the dozen. They
are of narrow white straw, an inch
wide, and caught together by ribbon of
the same width and of the same tint.
On both sides of this ribbon is a silver
or gold cord, which is very ornamental.
These receptacles are a trifle larger
than the common wedding box. In the
center will be large piece of wedding
cake completely hidden by an inside
lace effect. This box is very gorgeous

cream ribbon two inches in width,

One of the prettiest gifts this autumn
was sent by an artistic woman to a
pretty bride-elect. 1t was volume of
poems by celebrated author, with
charming illustrations. This book
was bound in rich green cloth, very
sparingiy ornamented with gilt. The
outside cover was painted by clever
artist in branches of cherry blossoms,
the petals dropping here and there, in
artistic hues. AS an outside cover for
the book, solely for preservation, a
white linen canvas cover was neatly
made, and made to fit, so that the'book
slipped in and out most easily. This
affair was decorated at each corner
with conventional design of white
and gilt of snowy pattern. In the cen
ier was the monogram of the bride and
groom, and running through it vine
of pure white morning glories, charm
ingly depicted. At the top and bottom
of the cover were broad bands of white
satin ribbons, which terminated in
small bows with ends. This design OF

A CALL Upon "colN.r
Something for tho Apostle OF Froo Silver
TO Exnlnin.

Something Tor tho Apostle or Eroo SuvoD
to Explain.
We desire, most respectfully, to re-
mind the followers of prof. Coin" that
cotton has had n great increase in value
without n corresponding advance in
silver. We should like to know what
this means, since the prices of all COM
modities must be measured by the pur-
chasing power of the white metal.
People who remember reading Coins
Financial School" can now turn back
their well-thumbed copies-if they have
not been thrown away long ago-and
scan the long table of wheat and cotton
values which showed such wonderful
correlation with those of silver ounces.
1t is true that of all Coins" figures
in this table only once in 81 years were
they correct for wheat and but twice
for cotton; but let that pass. Harvey's
Reputation" was staked on the correct
ness of this fundamental proposition
of populist finance; and here under q
crucial test of the markets made before
an interested and attentive world its
falsity is demonstrated.
Silver is worth 67@67% cents in New
York. 1t has been lowering around these
figures every since last February when
the prospect of the Chinese loan and the
Cuban war caused considerable adj
vance. But cotton has gone up 33 Ia
per cent. since that time, and by all
the rules of "Coin" silver should have
advanced too. 1t is true there is q pros
pective shortage in the cotton crop,
but silver has had its chance for boom
on the ground of increased consump-
ton and it has doomed all that it can.
In addition to the amount which Rus
sia and France have agreed to furnish,
China will have to borrow Mt least $115,-
100000. This has caused steady de-
mand for silver, but it has not added
to its price for some months.
Had silver risen in proportion to cot
ton il would now be worth at least as
much as it was in 1891. The export
price of cotton was then SO cents and of
silver 90 cents. 1t is true that in 1893
when cotton brought the same price
silver was worth only 7s centa, but this
does not alter the case, for "Coin's" die
tuln admitted of no exception
1t may be, however, that in the gen.
eral revival of prosperity these 'natur-
al" laws of correlation between the
white staple and the white metal have
been suspended. Or perhaps the So
called bimetallists have had their atten-
ton directed so strongly to politics that
they have suffered commercial transac-
tions to pass unheeded. Now that the
matter has been called to their atten-
ton we may be pardoned for expecting
an immediate advance in silver. In
the words of Elijah to the priests Of
Baal we call upon "Coin:"
Cry aloud: for he is q god: either he Is
talking. or he is pursuing. or he is IN IA
| journey. or pcradventure he sleepeth, and
| must be awakened"

NO MORE RIcE-rHRowlNo.
An Ancient Custom No Longer Tolerated
in the Best Society.

an huCicnC OubtUm GNo bOuEoE Aotofhtou
in the Best Society.
Fashions freaks are not always so
unutterably silly as her stern oppo'
nents would have one believe. For in
stance, when she decreed that rice
throwing at weddings was to come to
an end, she sensibly signed the death
warrant of a barbarous and dangerous
custom. The foolish practice obtains
now only among those who always will
cling to q custom because it is a custom.
In really fashionable sets here or
abroad it has been agreed that too
much serious damage has been done to
bride and groom by the hard little
grains not to make some substitute
necessary.
In addition, however, to marriage
bells and festive garments, some outlet
seemed needful for the joyful feelings
the occasion is supposed to arouse. And
in England paper confetti are having
quite vogue. These are disks of pa
per, about the size of letter wafer,
variously colored and stamped in silver
or gold. Armed with cornucopias full
of these, the bridesmaids salute the
"hnrpy pair" as they leave the parental
mansion.
1t is easily conceivable what psetty
and effective scene could be made OF
this custom, especially as our weddings
run nowadays to "color." A pink
wedding, with pink cornucopias and
pink confetti stamped in gold would in
fallibly have delicious memory pic
ture for the guests.
The real confetti of Italian carnival
fame are little balls made of starch and
water. They were SO constructed as
to break when thrown, and in breaking
scatter the starch powder over the per-
son whom they struck. 1t was often
painful to get these stinging blows on
cheek or neck, and, like the rice, they
are passing out of use.
But the paper confetti is as little
likely to become really popular as the
rice for the reason of the mess it makes
when scattered over house and grounds.
Crumpled paper lying about is as ugly

A Novel Dress binding.

Every woman has more or less
trouble with her skirt bindings, espe-
cially since gowns have been worn at
such an inconvenient length, and
knows too well how quickly they wear
to shreds. One busy business girl, who
has little time to spend in replacing
the shortcomings of her garments, has
in despair and by experiment hit upon
a device which she thinks lasts longer
than anything yet tried for the pur-
pose. She cuts black and tan suede
gloves with long wrists into bias strips
and sews them neatly together. Then
she uses them exactly as any other
skirt braid. The greatest difficulty Is
to secure enough gloves; she taxes all
her friends to supply her with their
cast-off handgear.

Points on tho Question Whore the States
man Is ut Fault.
Senator Vest has given his views ON
the recent elections to an interviewer
The silver question fills his eye to a
large extent. AS regards the silver
question Mr.. Vest says:
The president, unfortunately. rejected
all offers of compromise from those of US
who differed with him on silver and re-
fused positively to the power given
him by law to rebuke the gold spectators
and protect the gold reserve by rendering
silver. oven as part payment. when green
backs and Sherman notes were presented
at the treasury for redemption. believe
that Carlisle at one time contemplated
such action, but the president. who Just
before his inauguration talked reasonably
and conservatively. suddenly became OBJ
durate and ordered tho payment of gold
exclusively. This. or course. placed tho
treasury at the mercy of the spectators
and the logical result was the veto OF the
selgniorage bill. the issue of gold bonds
and the paying OF tribute to foreign
syndicate"
To have rendered silver as part pay
ment would have been to create a pre-
MUM on gold, and that twas exactly what
the president was bound to prevent. He
was required by law to keep the two
wise would have smashed the govern
ment's credit, thrown all private busi-
ness into confusion, and have reopened
the gold room that was closed when
specie payments were resumed in 1879.
1t was the fear of something of this kind
lest the democratic factions repre-
sented by Vest. Bland, Morgan, Harris,
and Blackburn might come into power
that led to the crushing defeat of the
party in the recent elections. At all
events that was potent contributing
cause among others. Mr.. Vest aclinowl-
edges that the party is divided on this
question and that the differences are
ineradicable. Very well. Then the
party must take the consequences of
division. He comforts himself with the
| thought that the republicans are equal
| ly divided, and that when they get con-
| troll of the senate, the line of cleavage
will show itself among them with
| equally disastrous consequences. This
| is a gross error. The division in the re-
publican party on this question is not
| q line of cleavage in the center, as it Is
| among the democrats. 1t threatens at
most to take of a shaving or splinter.
1t does not touch anything east of the
Missouri river and it does not seriously
affect the states bordering on the Pa
cific. At most it can produce disturb
ance only in the Rocky mountain states.

The secret of Whipping Cream.

In whipping cream the secret of
success is to have cream and dish as
cold as possible. If the froth Is
skinned OFF, as is sometimes recon-
mended, it is apt to fall after time.
1t is better to beat steadily until tho
whole mass is the proper consistency.
1t may be sweetened by adding little
sugar at time, and the fayoring can
be dropped in when it is nearly solid.

Sponging Before Retiring Recommended
In Some Cases.
In the large cities, says Womankind,
middle-aged women throng the gym
nasium and physical culture schools to
learn how to reduce the too abundant
flesh and keep off the rheumatism
which is often an accompaniment. The
woman who does her own housework
has most of her muscles called into ex-
ercise every day, and the danger with
her is that they are over-eXercised;
still much relief can be received by
sponging every night after hard labor
with the following inexpensive lotion:
Two ounces of spirits of ammonia, two
ounces of spirit of camphor, 111a cups of
sea salt, one cup of alcohol and one
quart of rain water.
The woman whose face and throat
are thin can remedy the thinness by
frequent bathing in cold water, and
before retiring rubbing in some good
cream. In rubbing the wrinkles should
be rubbed against, SO as to rub them
out, and it is as much in the rubbing as
in the cream. A nice bit of soft white
flannel rubbed several times daily over
the face will be beneficial, and she
whose double chin detracts from her
good looks can, by judiciously rubbing
downward, get rid of the superhuity.
Above all things, let the woman who de-
sires to keep her youth and beauty
cultivate sweet disposition and her
intellect at the same time.
