ETIQUETTE of the Visiting Card

Cards should be left at an evening recep-
ton, but very often are not, as cardcase
is scarcely part of a lady's evening cos
tune. A little forethought will suggest
carrying the requisite cards in small en-
velope. AT an evening card party light
colored dresses made either low or high
necked are good form. A daytime affair
calls for the bonnet or hat with the recep-
ton toilette. Leave your card wherever
you call as a memorandum for the hostess.

take your card to the hostess as an an
nouncement leave it in conspicuous place
in the hall--not on the card receiver if
there be other cards on it. but on the card
tray if there is one. Mail your visiting
card with P. P. G. written in the lower
left-hand corner when you are leaving a
place to all people on whom you should
have called to say good-by. When making
your good-by calls leave your card with

Cole. But did not go to South Kensing-
ton to study the applied arts. Like other
young ladies' my IDEAL of course, was to
become painter and to draw the figure.
But it happened one day that was set to
design pattern for carpet, and Sir Henry
Cole saw it. Now, Sir Henry was rather
despotic where the individual was con-
cerned; his one thought was for the honor
and glory of the school. So, when he
espied my drawing he said, For the future
you shall design nothing but carpets, young
lady After that he had one of my de-
signs sent to a large carpet manufacturer,
who replied that he liked it, but it
did not fulfill practical requirements.
The manufacturer then went on
to say what the actual requirements
were, giving the ruled measurements for
weaving, and concluded by promising that,
if / could master these details so as to
make design in accordance with them, he
would take my work. This put me on my

Easter Eggs.

The use OF eggs on Easter day, sometimes
called Pasche, or paste eggs, has come
down to the present time, says the Ladies'
Home journal. Eggs were held by the
Egyptians as sacred emblem of the reno
vation OF mankind after the deluge. The
Jews adopted them to suit the lcircum-
stances OF their history as o type of their
departure from the land of Egypt.
They were also used in the feast of the
Passover.
Hyde, in his description of Oriental
sports, tells of one with eggs among the
Christians of Mesopotamia on Easter day
and forty days afterward: 1.-THE sport con
sists, in striking their eggs one against
another, and the egg that first breaks is

cases the costumes will be bound with
leather, collars, cuffs and Wristbands being
OF the same material. The regulation
scarlet coat is to be worn. The Norfolk
jacket is often the form adopted for the
bodice. One model shown by a famous
London house is a gray-green Lovat mix
ture; the coat is a Norfolk as far as the
waist and below that is a morning coat.
The knickerbockers and CATERS are of fine
boxcloth and the skirt is bound with tan

comical, more charming, than the little

fascinating little people, at once very
childish and very mature, with their hair
coiled at the back like their elders, their
skirts down to their heels, their shawls too
long for them, dangling to the ground, but
worn with an air of infinite importance
and self-sufficiency.
And the colors of all these women-the
elegant olives, the delicate blondes-are
thrown out SO well, so finely adorned, by
the vivid colors of shawls and dresses, and
stockings, which would be gaudy else
where, but which here, in the heat and
glitter of such an atmosphere, are always
in place, never immoderate. They are all

Anglo-Saxons dined with clean cloth,
which they called reodsceat. A cloth was
laid even for poor man.
Du Gauge relates a singular feudal privi-
lege-that of the lord being entitled to the
tablecloth, towel, ETC., of the house where
he dined. From the same source we learn
that father, giving advice to his son, par
ticularly recommends him as one means of
success'in life is to have his table covered
with clean cloth; and there is COM
plant made against the monks for putting
a dirty cloth before their visitors. The
tablecloths made for the use of the nobility
and gentry were of great value. One
sum in those days.
The origin of damask tablecloths is also
very ancient. La Brocquiere thus de-
scribes some used abroad: "They are" he

Immediately another egg is pitted against
the winning egg, and so on till the last egg
wins all the others, which their respective
owners before shall have won."
In Germany sometimes instead of eggs
at Easter an emblematical print is oeca-
sionally presented. One of these is pre-
served in the print-room of the British
Museum. Three hens are represented as
upholding basket, in which are placed
three eggs ornamented with representa-
tons illustrative of the Resurrection : over
the center egg the "Agnus Del" with a
chalice representing faith; the other eggs
bearing the emblems of charity and hope.

"Dear my Lady Golden Hair,
Why averted glances?
Why disfavor, lady fair?

AS she shakes her head there flies
Golden mist that shrouds her eyes:
Still as other rosebuds tips
Stay my lady's folded lips.
"Tell me how fell from grace?
Tell me where I stumbled?
Do not keep a frowning face,
See how / am humbled"
Yet the shadows darkly stay
But where sunbeams ought to play;
And the eyes where truth should shine
Quite refuse to look in mine.

The air is very still,
On wonder wooded hill;
The old day slowly dies
In Paradise.
What colors manifold
Red molten with the gold.
Islands OF amethyst,
In lakes of azure mist.
The hour whispers peace,
The tired reaperS cease,
And rudely sweet and strong
Riseth the harvest song.
The evening star above
kindles her lamp of love,
And lends her light 10 bless
Their song of thankfulness.
And from the utmost rim
OF the horizon dim,
The harvest comes sweet
Over the sheaved wheat.
Her chaste and holy light,
The Silly hush OF night,
The incense in the air,
Proclaims Gods presence here.
Still is the starry East.
Sleeps every bird and beast,
Still is the faded West,
Rest, cleaner, rest.

Thistle rose she gave to me

Having touched her lips.
And with something of her grace
And the beauty of her face.

Bloomed where south winds stir;
Hid it's honey to the bee
For the lips of herr
Through long days disquieted
For those lips to kiss red,

Never rose so sweet!

Lean and hear il beat.
