Garnet Weaving.

1t was in France that the first seri-
GUS effort was made to esta blish the
manufacture of carpets in the fashion
Of the Orient. This was in the reign
of Louis XIV and under the direction
of his Minister Colbert. The royal
manufactures were designed to fur
nish all manner of furniture, and in
the Gobelins and Beauvais factories
$50 master weavers wove rich tapes
tries During the revolution of 1889,
these factories were almost suppressed,
but Napoleon 1. revived the manufac-
tories and furnished his palaces with
their loom work. The national work.
shops of France still continue, and the
woven stuffs of Gobelins, Beauvais and
the Savonnerie are accounted among
thsslinest in Europe. The knowledge
of carpet weaving was presumably in
troduced into England from France.
During the persecution of the Hugue-
nots the carpet weavers, with other
artistic craftsmen, fed for refuge to
England, and established themselves in
various towns. Administer, in Devon
shire, was one,of these, and also the town
of Wilton. These places retained their
supremacy for long time, but with
the introduction of the Jacquard loom
and various improved processes of man
ufacture the industry was successfully
developed in Kidderminster, Dur.

LINGERIE FOR THE SEASON.
The Smallest Sum for Which One Can H
Daintlly and Comfortably Clad.

The Smallest Sum for Which One Can He
Daintlly and Comfortably Clad.
It is the theory of gentlewomen OF
the old school that the woman of re-
fined instinct will display nun-like
austerity in her outer garments pro-
vided that she may thereby be as dain.
ty as she pleases as regards underwear,
rather than vice versa. And it is GER
tainly true that women who have no
temptations to spend money at the silk
and lace counters find II very difficult
to pass the underwear department
without buying something. But dain.
tiness in underwear consists not SO
much in having elaborate things as in
having large enough supply to wear
fresh ones continually. Even tolera-
bly, poor woman can manage to do this
If she will expend enough care and
forethought to make up for the little
money which she has to spend.
She needs a dozen pair of stockings
and six of all other articles of UNDER
wear This will allow for no reserve"
stock, for the dozen pairs of stockings
and the other things will be in con-
stant use. Stockings should be changed
every day and white underwear every
other day.
The most expensive item in this list
will be the six union suits. They will
cost from SO. so to sl5. The first repre-
sents very fair quality of wool and
cotton; warm and unshrinkable, but
not fine. The last is a tolerably heavy
quality of silk, warm and deliciously
soft Stockings are equally varied in
times possible to get pair of fine cot
ton or Isle thread stockings for SO or
35 CENTS Fifty cents will always buy
fair quality of stockings
Drawers of white muslin, OF good
quality, trimmed with little punches
OF tucks, cost 40 cents pair, except at
special sales, when they may some
times be had for 80 cents. White mus
lin skirts trimmed with tucks and one
tucked ruffie cost, rs cents each. Night
gowns may be bought from SO cents
up. The cheapest corset covers that
are worth huying, cost 3S cents. Very
good dark skirts, of which every ward
robe should contain at least two, may
be had for $1.50 each. II the woman
who desires to be daintily clad buys
the cheapest sets of underwear, her
union suits will cost her SIS; her stock
ings, $2.10; her drawers, $240; her
corset covers, S2.10; her nightgowns,
SO. 81; her white skirts, $4.50, and her
dark ones $780, Besides these she
will probably need a pair Of equestrian
tights, which will add another dollar
to the sum total. The whole amount
will be $33.64. 1t is considerable sum
for girl who earns very little money
and very insignificant one to wom-
an who wouldn't mind paying as
much for a petticoat, But it is the
least one can get along with, and it is
enough to keep one perfectly fresh and
dainty at all times.
Young women who have time and skill
buy cambria undergarments made per-
fectly plain and proceed to make them
as frivolous and pretty as possible with
embroidery, ribbons and lace. That is
certainly the cheapest way of get
ting dainty underwear.-N. Y. World

of the elements of sublimity, though
the builder cares less for that than for
the profit represented by the increased

Measured against the extraordinary
utilities of the instrument, the fact
that it makes an occasional weakling

be seriously considered. The omnibus
does the like and the elevated railway

are interesting from medical point OF
