Paw of FORMER Contributors.

Coleridge took at times an exaggerat-
ed view of his services to The Morning
Chronicle. His surprising statement
that Stuart in 1900 offered him 60, 900
a year if he would devote himself to
journalism, that he declined on the
ground that he would not give up 1.-The
reading of old f0lius' for twenty times
e2, 600, and that be considered any pay
beyond $3.50 as Il real evil, is obviously
impossible. Stuart probably tried to
spur his indolent contributor by saying
that his services would be worth some
such sum if they could be made regular
But the statement is only worth notice
here in illustration Of the state Of the
literary market at the time. Southey ac-
knowledges his gratitude for the guinea
a week which he received as Stuart &
Laureate. "
Poetry, by the way, appears to have
been more i'll demand then than at the
present day. Both Perry and Stuart Is
elder brother offered to employ Burns,
and Coleridge, Southey, Campbell and
Moore all published poems in the news
papers. Lamb tried his hand at Jokes -
"Sixpence a joke, he says-"and it
was thought pretty high, too-was Dan
Stuart's settled remuneration in these
cases.
The high water mark Of a journalists
earnings at the end Of the last century
is probably marked by the achievement
Of Macintosh, who earned 10 guineas
in week. No paper could stand itr'
exclaimed the proprietor, and the bar
gain had to be revised. A few years
later, however, we are told that Ster-
ling, the father Of Carlyles friend, was
receiving the sum which Coleridge sup
posed himself to have refused, namely,

The craze for delft has led to the
making Of many objects which resemble
more or less closely its color and general
effect. The ample wall pocket shown il
the illustration is one Of the latest, and
has the added merit cf being eminently
useful as well as decorative. Its one
drawback lies in the fact that all the
work is done with the brush and that
consequently it does not come within
the scope Of as many women as does
work done with the needle. For I'LL
those who do paint, however, it is quite
simple, and more than repays the time
and labor expended.
The material is all linen, blue for

basque was plain and round and not
very full in the back 1t opened wide
over full vest of cream lace. The edge
was ornamented all around with one
twist Of velvet. There were two rows
across the front at the waist line simu-
lating belt. The sleeves were gig0ts,
but very moderate in size and ended at
the elbow with deep falling cuffs Of the
lace. Around the bottom Of the sleeve
there was a twist of the velvet with two
sharp little points setting out like bows
on each side. The collar was Of gray vel
vet, with a green twist with two little
bows like Holsters claws at each side.
Above the velvet was a ruffie of lace.
The dressmaker told me that it took five
yards of velvet to make these twists
The gown was dainty and tasteful, and
the velvet gave it the touch Of costIiness
so dear to the wearer's heart ought to
mention the bonnet that was made to
wear with this. It was triangular in
shape and covered with white lace.
There were four flat loops Of double
emerald green velvet and one standing
up straight i'll front, from behind two
velvet rosettes, studded with gold beads
Another challie dark blue with enor-
nous sprawling white arabesques Cor pat
tern, was made quite plain as to skirt
and waist. The sleeves were tight To a
short distance above the elbow, where
they were small puffs of the same. There
was a white lace fichu which fastened at
the bust line, and from that peeped TWO
sharp revers Of white velvet shot with
two or three shades Of yellow. The stock
and two loops and ends at the back were
of the same rich velvet. The belt was Of
dark blue velvet. a very unusual but
successful combination in another gown
was where rich mordore velvet was EN-
ployed to trim light purple dotted mo-
hair. The skirt was plain, save for two
fancy pocket openings, with black braid
and white lace to define them. The
basque was very full III the back, but
smooth across the front, with neat lit
tie pocket Oh each side, bordered with
lace. The cuffs were exceedingly fine
There was first q row Of narrow lace,
then one Of black soutache, then one Of
havana brown satin ribbon, half an inch
wide, and d bias bit Of the m0rdore vel
vet an inch wide At the edge was a
frill Of lace which fell over the hand
The revers were wide and sharp and had
the velvet, ribbon, braid and lace like
the cuffs. The vest front was as care
fully made as the rest, and the upper
portion was covered by a jabot cravat Of
lace The stock collar was finished off
with a square gold buckle, some velvet
loops in the back, and an outstanding
plating Of lace. The material i'll the
dress itself was cheap, and. in fact,
there was nothing extravagant about it
except the extreme neatness OF the de-
tail and finish. About half a yard Of
velvet would make this set, and nothing
could be much prettier.
