materials are somewhat heavy, but
this is atoned for by the feeling of
comfort one gets by their use Next
I to them is some leather material, such

! pliable as velvet. Those who have
! never used this as an interlining will

and protection that it affords There
are persons who find ii impossible to
keep warm no matter what amount of
wooden material they may put on.
! This may be a constitutional peculi-
arity. but, nevertheless, it exists. and
is worthy of consideration.
In trimming waists il is desirable 20
put as little garniture across the back
between the shoulders as may be.
Especially is this necessary if one is in
clined to stoop. The best way to put
elaborate garnitures on waists is to
have them end at the back of the
sleeves They must be very full over
the shoulders, but much less so across
the front, Indeed, there should be Just
enough fullness to hang gracefully
One third allowance is often too much
for the best effects, unless the lace is
very wide. Goods made into rufics
should be adjusted after the dress is
put on. This saves n good deal of
trouble, and produces much better
effects.
The present season is specially adj
vantageous in the way of economy in
dress. 1t is quite possible to use two
partly worn dresses to make one good
one. Combination has reached fine
art, and there is quite enough material
going to waste in most houses to fu~-
nish charming costumes for home after
moons and possibly more 'dressy oc-
casions.
Elaborateness seems to have run mad
in some of the imported models for
outside garments. There are sleeves

Heavy fabrics for house wear are
going altogether out of use. All the
year round materials are much more
and are better liked by al
most all women. The necessary
warmth is made up by suitable under

A curious source of wealth Is re.
ported by the French consul Ut
Mongtze, IN upper Tonquin, II lies in
wood mines, Tht wood originally was
pine forest. which the earth swal-
lowed in some cataclysm. Some of
the trees arc a yard In diameter. They
lie in a slanting direction and in sandy
soils which cover them to depth of
about eight yards. AS the top branches
are well preserved It is thought the
geological convulsion which buried
them can not be of great antiquity.
The wood furnished by these timber
mines is impcrishable, and the Chinese
gladly buy Il for collins. Along the
coast regions of some parts of New

trees. deeply buried in the sand, the re-
covcry OF which forms valuable i'm
