leaving will through which we catch
glimpses of the wardrobe and toilet of
a colonial lady Of the period. Toher step
daughter, Teresa, she leaves the little
bed, the mohair rug, and the yellow
curtains, besides her taffeta suit and
her serge coat, all her fine linen, her

tufted holland one, the new serge, and
the spangled one. To her own three
boys she gives that great scarf" and
all her jewels, plate, and rings. except
her wedding ring, which goes to
Teresa; and to each bed and a pair of
cotton sheets. To her stepsons Cuth-

Rayenwood hats, silver shoe buckles
and chased swords! But how clumsy
they are, and how they dread the or
deal! And how much more fun they
will get out of their suits and swords
as playthings, afterwards! Boys and
girls are different.
The bridesmaids gowns are no longer
designed in unison, but in harmony,
to borrow the phraseology of a sister
art. For wedding with four maids,
these arrangements have been settled
upon: For brunette bridesmaid, with
big brown eyes, a coffee berry gown
with ecru lace, the front of tan and tan
silk Innings to the lapels; hat, tan and
brown. For another brunette, darker
and of smaller physique, light pink,
sparingly used with dark and light
green, hat mainly pink. For medium
blonde, greenish blue silk, with dark
blue in combination. Blue hat. For
lighter blonde, pale blue without the
green tint; darker blue and a touch of
red. They stand in that order-graded
from the warm colors to the cool, with
the touch of red to restore the first
impression. If these four girls were
to agree upon compromise costume,
it would be a pink wedding, without
doubt. But the bridesmaids gowns,
when all different can be worn for
ether uses, which uniform design
could hardly be. A compromise plan
sometimes favo ed is to have two
blonde maids similarly attired in pinks
blues, and two brunettes in warmer
err, heavier tints.

STORING ICE OUTDOORS.

Experience of q Man Who Has Done It
with Some Success.
"Some years ago it occurred to me to
stack a little ice out of doors to save the
trouble of taking it from the ice house.
The stack was made on the north side
of a building. In the expectation that
warm weather would quickly melt it,
but little was put up. 1t kept surpris-
ingly, and thereafter large quantities
were stacked yearly, until for several
years past the out-of-doors stack has
furnished ice for creamery and house
hold until about September l." writes
a correspondent in the Connecticut
Farmer. '"There being a scarcity Of
ice this year, / had to use an inferior
quality four to five inches thick. The
stack was about 80 feet square and four
feet high. 1t has furnished ice to cool
300 quarts of milk per day, in creamery,
besides refrigerator in house. My
method is to- spread few inches of
shavings on the ground for the ice to
rest on, stack the ice and cover with
shavings to a depth of about foot.

seems to be comparatively little melt

this view, and they would not call upon

very accomplished. She is conversant

ELLEN OSBORN'S LETTER.
Sloping Shoulders and Smaller
Sleeves Prophe sled for Spring.
Pretty Gowns for Young Misses = Plan
for Post-Lenten Weddings Brides
maids, Gowns and Court Suits for
Pages and Train Bearers.
[copYRrGHT. 1861

As winter bIghtensintos spring there
is talk of sloping shoulders. Women
with beautiful rounded arms will well
come the change, if it carries the bodice
material well over the curve of the
shoulder and to the upper arm, closely
defining the form; then let the mil
liner do her worst!
The worst may be meek and de-
jected affair like leaky balloon; the
best might not be much better than
one tentative example from London.
This is spring jacket of notified silk
caught across the bust by band of
velvet fastened with a light enamel
button. At each shoulder another
button and bow, at the back of the
neck bigger button and an enormous
bow. AS for the sleeves, the notified
silk clings close to the figure well over
the shoulder, and to it are attached ell
bow sleeves of lace, shaped like lamp
shade. The total effect is light and
graceful, and decidedly smart.
Winter gowns are still made with the
higher sleeves, though perhaps of more
moderate size, and there is great use
made of dark materials, of braiding
and of stitching. Simplicity is always
smart.
Never was there such season for
challenge to the Audubon society.

The woke and front can be outlined in
embroidery, and the cuffs should be of
a dark satin to match the stuff, with
turnover edges of lace. The gown has
something of an Italian look, and can
be made in a great variety of materials.

Weddings, the philosophers say, are

Were, perhaps; scarcely are, now that
the married belle has become an inter-
national institution. For weddings of
the post-Lenten period, the prepara-
tons are already in most cases fully
planned and far advanced. The Gus
tom of pressing the children of the
family into service as train bearers is
growing in favor because of it's pic
turesqueness. Two pretty blonde girls,
who will be debutantes, along with the
new century, are already delighting
themselves In the prospect of white
satin frocks, whose net-covered yokes
are embroidered with pearls and sill

white satin caps similarly embel-
lished. Boys are quite as picturesque
