HER sILKES TREsSES.

There are combs and old hair pins
in plenty-so mauy, in fact. that there
is danger of the up-to-date evening
coiffure becoming a rival of the much
talked Of theatre hat.
In the arrangement of her coiffure
the up-to-date young woman has gone
back to her first love-the bang. The
stately pompadour and the Madonna
like part are soon to be things of the
past. The curly, coquettish bang will
reign.
OF course, there are some young
women with Madonna-like faces who
will still cling to the classic part. Bat
il they attempt to keep pace with the
fashions OF the day they will soften
the severe effect of the part by allow
ing a curl or two to stray over the
forehead.
There are round, fat, wel,- m ale
curls which have spriugy movement
and bob to perfection. These curis
sell at 81 apiece. Then there are care
less little curls not so perfectly
formed, which shyly nestle among
the coils of hair Besides this. there
are the aggressive outstanding bits of
curls appearing in places where you
would never expect to find them.
For evening affairs the aigrette is
the hair ornament of the moment.
Its airy lightness is much in its favor,
Besides the black, white and daintily
colored feather aigrettes there are ex-
quisite ones, glistening with mock
jewels. To be worn with dusky
tresses is a pale yellow aigrette pow
dered with bits OF topaz. Others are

Thirteen Miles Of Loaded Tables.

"At the coronation Of Alexander
H." says the Moscow correspondent
of the London Telegraph, "there
we're no less than thirteen miles of
tables (672 in number) laid symmetri-
cally along the Khodynsky Field, just
outside of the city. and on the eve of
the historic day they were covered
with various kinds of eatables for the
multitude. Thus, on each table were
placed five roasted sheep, the horns
gilt or silvered, and on each side Of
the improvised tables stood frs or
pines, like the traditional Christmas
trees of the Germans, from which hung,
not merely the usual apples, pears.
sweetmeats and fancy breads, but like
wise roasted ducks, chickens and hens

the ENGLISH MAID.

The English are very proud of the
fact that the king of Greece SO valued
the English nurse of his son that he
personally assisted in carrying her
cofiin at her funeral. 1t is recalled by
Julian Ralph, that Scotch woman
nursed the czsr Alexander III. an
English woman was nurse to the pres
ent czar. The poor prince imperial
of France had an English nurse, and
so had the present German emperor
when he was b iby Mt Pot,dnm. For
my part, l do not know or see of any
especial advantage in having an Eng
lish nurse. but if / were a king I'd
have English maids sprinkled all over
my palace. The English maid, with
her oval face, rosy cheeks. great wide
eyes, her spotless and starched cap,
her immaculate linen shoulder straps
and scalloped apron, and above all the
silent, cheerful, highly skilled service
that she gives, is one of the noblest
handiworks of God. New York Jour

While the thought was passing
through her mind, the door swung
open, and tall young lady in a blue
silk morning robe entered-a young
lady with golden brown hair looped
after the fashionable style over her
brow, and deep blue eyes.
Miss Comfort rose and dropped q
stiff little courtesy.
"l've called to see-she began, but
to her amazement the rest Of her
speech was abruptly checked by the
young lady's arms being thrown round
her neck.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you," she
cried out, ecstatically; "I thought 1
never should see you again. 1 went
to the old farm, but you had gone
away, nobody knew whittier !"
And she hugged Miss Comfort more
enthusiastically than ever, with bright
tears sparkling on her eyelashea
"why," demanded the bewildered
spinster, "who are you9"
"Tm Essie! Don't you remember
little Essie Bell that you gave the five
dollar bill to in the twilight by the
wild rose bushes, when"
"Oh-o-oh i'exclaimed Miss Com
fort. "You don't mean to say you're
that"
And here she stopped, nearly
strangled by Essie's renewed embraces
while she listened to the story OF how
grandpapa had adopted her; and how
she was surrounded by all that luxury
could devise or art invent
"And have longed to see you
again. added Essie, "for If it had not
been for your kindness papa never
could have lived to reach his home.
And you shall live with me always
now, and be my darling old friend. y"
"No," said Miss Comfort, gravely,
shaking her head. "Tve come to apply
for situation as housekeeper, and if
you won't give it to MEL must go else
where"
And Essie was obliged to consent
"But mind" said she, nodding the
golden masses of her crepe hair. 81

Grandpa always entrusts those things
to my management.
SO Miss Comfort Fairhaven stayed
nominally as housekeeper-really the
trusted and revered head of the estab-
lishment, and her declining years
were surrounded by peace and lux
ury she never had dared to dream of
in her loftiest aspirations.
Miss Comfort Fairhaven had in

geously. She had cast her bread upon
the waters, and after many days it had

THE PHILOSOPHY OF "sAvINa Up.
Who does not know people who
seem to take the utmost pride and
pleasure in piously boarding up arti-
cles of all descriptions? 1t seems to
matter little what 1t is they add to the
collection. They treasure it and take
comfort in feeling that they have o
lot of miscellaneous property laid by
against time OF need
This course is commendable within
certain clearly defined lines. But to
hoard for the sake of boarding is one
Of the most serious OF mistakes.
A great many women buy handsome
materials, have elegant dresses made,
aud then, thinking they are too good
for common use, put them away until
they are out of fashion aud out Of
date.
1t is a mistaken economy to save ar
ticles of wearing apparel beyond cer-
tain limits. II is much more protita-
able and sensible to buy q good dress,
have it made up in conservative style,
and wear it whenever occasion re-
quires. 1t is not worth while to have
II large number of good dresses unless
one is constantly going out. and even
then a few costumes will be found
much more advantageous. To have
too many dresses is almost as bad as
too few, because one feels that there
is large inve stment, aud that they
are speedily going out of style, and
after awhile one has nothing that
there is any pleasure in wearing.
One of the best dressed women in
the country never has but three
good dresses at time. One is n street
costume, which is OF fthe best wool fab
ric she can buy, aud is made in ele-
CANT style, then there is dinner and
an evening dress. These with quan-
tity of dressy accessories, furnish her
with an outfit that is every way satis-
factory. From these three, as they
become somewhat out of date, she has
tea gown. house dress and second best
evening dress rettted.
In the days of black silks, one wom-
an, who had more sense than money,
b uyht one dress during the year, and
that was a good black silk. She always
had a second best and the third was
good enough to reconstruct with
some pretty remnant for house,
dress or tea-gowu. For the latter
short length OF bright wool or silk
was all that was required.
1t is possible for woman to cos.
Tune herself handsomely on a very
small amount of money. provided she
gives the subject sensible and intelli-
gent thought To do this, however,
she must religiously refrain from pur-
chasing novelties. aud must utilize her
dresses while they are new. Buying
to put away is the most expensive
business imaginable. New York

NEW BAsoUEs AND WAISTS.

Mohair gowns aud those of smooth
faced fancy silk-and-wool mixtures are
made with round waists and very
short, full basques. There is a grow.
ing disposition to add some sort of
tabs, coat-tails or frills around the
waist, which indicates return of the
basque to popular favor. Very many
Louis Quinze coats of light chine silks,
gayly brocaded satins, and Persian vel
vets, are worn with dark skirts of crep-
on or satin for the theatre and con-
cert; but they have by no means dis
placed the separate round waist, which
can be so easily made at home, and of
so many pretty and inexpensive fab
rics not suitable for the coats. Not
so many chiffon waists are seen, en-
broidered and ietted nets and laces
taking their place and making the
dressiest waists worn. - Demorest' S
