MINOR DRESS ITEMS.
Little Things Which Go to Make Up
 Lady's Costume.

Little Things Which Go to Make Up a
 Lady's Costume.
 It is quite the custom when estimates on the cost of dressing are made up to put down a lump sum for inciaentals, including gloves, haudEerchiefs, neck dressing and hosiery. Boots and shoes are rarely allowed for in this amount, as these expenditures would bring the agsuegate up to figure that might be startling.
 Selecting gloves is an art, a trade by itself, and the woman who is an eX- pert in this item has a. decided adyan- tage over her less posted neigbbors. To know how to buy good gloves and what to buy is mater of consequence. The experienced woman chooses fine grained, firm gloves of dogskin for or dinary shopping wear. If she drives they will last several months; if not. they will be in a tolerably good state of preservation after siX or eight months. Then, if she is wise, she will buy new pair, and save them by using the old ones for rou@h wear. For her fine gloves she pays a goodly sum, but as sine only wears them on high days and holidays they will last a long time. Gne or two pairs of four-button gloves for church and calls and a couple of pairs of long gloves for dress occasions will be found quite enough for the aver age woman.
 It is a pity that there are so few really good low-priced haidkerchiefs in mar ket. One may go a long distance to find any all-linen cheap handlterehiefs such as we used to get quarter of a cen tury ago. All-linen goods are worth 30 cents each for the most ordinary grades, and those marked "guaranfeed all linen" as for the most part a delusion and a snare. There is a process by which bandkerchiefs of part cotton are done up to look like linen. and it if only after laundering that the cheap cottony look comes out, greatly to the disgust of the deluded buyer.
 There are pillows and waves and mountains of neck-dressing, and the dress that is trimmed with lace is quite likely to be we'll within the bounds of fashion.
 There are some striking novelties in hosiery, among which are those in clan plaids and in fancy stripes. Boot-hose are very much liked. Those with black feet aud ankles and eolored tops are pre- ferred.
 Russet and tan shoes are going out of fashion, and extremely pointed toes will soon be among the things that were.-N. '. Iedoer.

and after 1t is taken apart and sponged it is sure to measure too short by several inches.
 In remaking d skirt never lengthen at the waist Such proceeding will spoil the hang of it quicker than any thing else.
 When plain skirts were worn it was impossible to lengthen a skirt without unsightly piecing. Now, however, the bottom of the skirt may be pieced and then trimmed to conceal the piecing.
 For a street gown braid is the best trimming. Hercules or soutache braid is favored, and should be put on in two or four row clusters. If the wearer is short, two rows as near the foot as pos sible is best. Ayoung girl may have the braid sewed in Greeian border around her skirt, if her gown ends at the ankle.
 Skirts intended for indoor wear are prettiest trimmed with ruches. which

THE CLEVER WOMAN.
Two Kinds of Cleverness, But Only One
 That Really Pays.
q wish were clever"

Ih&6 aehiiy gays.
 "I wish | were clever"
 The woman was charmiGgly dimpled, wore a Felix gown, was the mistress Of luxurious establishment. and was d;s pensing tea to afternoon callers in cups of priceless faience.
 "Women who write," had been the subject on the tapis, and the remark was delicate compliment to the wom- an to whom she handed the tea. She was a successful writer-s6ceessful to the extent of making good income as the fruit of unwearied industry. She had never known the delights of dia- monds or her own carriage, or box at the opera. She sometimes spent hard- earned five dollars for drive, but there was neither luxury in the carriage nor ewiGtness in the steeds, and she was conscious all through the drive that when sine went back to the office she would write something about the coun- try in sfring, or the dotsam of fall foli- age end flowers with which the suburb an resident could decorate his house and table.
 If she took a two-dollar seat in the opera house she rarely lost herself com Pletely in the music, as she would have liked to do, because skeletons of para graphs on theater hats and theater manners, on lovers who make love in the stalls as we'll as on the stage, and thousand other things for the next days paper fitted through her mind. She never had Felix gown; on the contrary, she walked ten blocks and climbed seven stories to find I dressmaker, who would make, though at the same time mar, her one gown for $19. Her modest house was pretty, and she was even quite famous for her petite souPers, at which one sometimes met eminent and always delightful peo- pie; but only herself and her one maid knew at what cost of perspiring brow 1 and smntched fingers and aching back those dainty little dishes were evolved.
 So there was almost reverence in her tones as she replied:
 My dear, you are the clever woman; you are far more clever than George Eliot. The really smart woman is not the one who makes her own daily bread, even though there be q Nessel- rode pudding thrown in now and then. It is she who, without raising her hand, can cause all this luxury to be laid at her pretty satin-shod feet. It is like eating a Delmonieo dinner and lament ing that you are not the chef who cooked it. Not the woman who works, but she who gets all there is in life with out working, is the really clever wom- an"
 May there not be two kinds of clev- erness2" said the woman who came to make her aaieux-N. < Herald.

containing button holes. The neck is finished in the same way, that the waist may be worn with linen collar and cuffs. The garment is. of course, unlined and without bones.
 As to the best materials, velyeteen is most fashionable Black, dark green and blue are good eolors. Bright Scotch plaids are also used to a con siderable extent, and make cheerful bits of color in the work-a-day world.
 Still another material is French fan mel, which comes in very dainty colors. Not the least of it's charms is that it will laundry like linen waist Or Shaker flannel may be used. Much less ex- pensive than the other materials, it makes up prettily and wears well, if carefully laundered.
 In making over the old gown, the present fashion of trimming skirts will be found most useful. A skirt almost invariably shrin15s from a seasons wear.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-12-06

Naturally, she does not buy them readymade Indeed, so small quantity of any one material is required that a girl may easily take down her box of pieces and find in it material enough for several collarettes.
 The thing to do is not to decide upon collarette, and then get your mate rials; it is to take such scraps as you have, combining them in fetching con- lection for the neck.
 The essential point is to have some thing high and faring. A stock may be made of green velvet, with two rows of butter-colored lace falling over the shoulders and two standing high above the collar. In front the upper founces should be narrowed away from the face. The collarette is closed with q ribbon knot
 Another requires about one-half yard of velvet, cut in bias strips. These strips are each 12 inches long, square on one end and pointed on the other. 4 narrow lace frill starts at the point and is gathered down one side of each strip, which is then lined with pretty bit of bright silk. The square ends are turned under three inches, the pieces are fastened side by side, thus forming collarette, with loops falling over the shoulders, and points standing up round the face.
 Pretty collarettes are made of ruehed mousseline de soie. chiffon, or net. Others are of box-plaited ribbon, edged with lace. A pretty collarette has a mediei collar of fur, encircled around the outside with ruche of lace and finished inside with founce of the same diaphonous material. We can't all wear fur medici collars, but we can wear collars of some cheaper material, with equally good effect.
 More sensible modes in shoes are daily being advanced. Up-to-date shoemal6ers now pay some attention to the shape of the natural foot, and so the maid who wishes pretty foot need do no more than carefully selecthe footgear
 A vell-made shoe has now a sole that is cut straight on the inside, curved on the outside. This gives the foot 9 natural position and does away with all cramping of the big toe.
 Heels are low and broad, the uppers full and roomy and entirely of one kind of leather. Tips are broad and square.
 Calfsllin and stout glazed Dongola are the best feathers for walking shoes. Button shoes are most dressy, but for ordinary wear lace shoes will keep their shape better, and they are quite likely to remain fashionable for at least an- ether season. Occasionally a patent leather shoe, with cloth top is worn by q sensitive woman in place of slippers, but it is not fashionable,
 The Louis XY slipper is correct. IL

THE QUA1NTEST GoBBLER
Has a Floating Shop Running Up
 and Down the Kennebec.
In Winter It Goes on Runners-He Is 8 Philosopher, WithaL and Reads His Customers Character in
 Shoe Leather.
TcoPYR1GHr. 1S96.l

The oldest craft that sails the waters of inland Maine is the floating cobbler shop of Shoemaker Cottle. It is be- lieved to be the only affair of the kind in existence, and the range of it's own er's domieile is only limited by the eX- tent of the River Kennebec. All sum- mer long, Mr. Cottle either drifts or is lowed from one river town to another, mending the shoes that are brought to him and keeping all the river folk well shod.
 This strange cobbling craft is large scow on which good-sized house has been built. The dwelling is a two-story affair, containing four rooms, work shop. parlor. bedroom and kitchen. It is by all odds the most unique baehe= Tor apartment which anyone ever con- ceived, and not the least of it's attfae- tions is it's cleanliness, for it's owner is as neat as the proverbial new pin.
 The headquarters of this maritime cobbler are at Atlantic, Me- and his summers journey often extends from Atlantic to Belfast. Everyone along the river knows Shoemaker Cottle. He is a man we'll advanced in years, skill ful at his trade through long expert enee. He las no rival, because there is something so odd about having ones shoes mended on a floating shoeshop that, for the very novelty of the thing,
