ENGLISH DRINKING SONGS.
Fletcher's Happy Efforts and the varia-
tions of 1t.

Fletcher's Happy Efforts and the Varia-
tions of 1t.
The best of the English drinking songs
were written by the dramatists of the
seventeenth century, men who trolled
out their vigorous sentiments, linked
sweetly together in flowing verse, with
out the smallest thought or fear of
shocking anybody. Frankly indecor-
Gus, they invite the whole wide world
TO drink with them, to empty the brim-
ming tankard passed from hand to
hand, and to reel home through the
frosty streets, where the Waterman
grins at their unsteady steps, and quiet
sleepers, awakened from dull dreams,
echo with drowsy sympathy the last
swelling cadence of their uproarious
song. Where there is no public senti-
ment to defy even Bacchanalian rioters
and Bacchanalian verses cease to be
defiant. What admirable good temper
and sincerity in Fletcher's Emporium
ity:
Drink to-day and drown all sorrow
You shall perhaps not do 1t tomorrow;
Best, while you have it; use your breath:
There is no drinking after death.
''Then let us swill, boys, for our health,
Who drinks well loves the commonwealth
And he that will to bed go sober
Fails with the leaf, still in October"
Upon this song successive changes
have been rung, until now it's variations
are bewildering, and to it we owe the
ever-popular and utterly indefensible
glee roared out for generations by many
lusty tavern chorus:
"Ie who goes to bed. and goes to bed
sober,
Falls as the leaves do, and dies in October:
But he who goes to bed, and goes to bed
mellow,
yAves as he ought to do, and dies an honest
fellow"

CoMFoRTAeLEs AND BLANKETS.

Necessary Articles in the First Cool
Weather.
The first cool days of fall, and even
the days of late summer, frequently
call for warmer bedclothing. Nothing
is likely to be more serious than night
chill, such as is frequently brought on
by insufficient protection from the cool
night air. The sudden changes of this
season are too well known not to warn
everyone to be cautious. Flannels of
light quality and warm cashmere stock
ings are as much needed now by infants
and invalids as heavier fiannels are in
the depth of winter. Where expense is
of no moment, blankets of soft wool are
the first choice, but a vast number of
people are forced, from necessity, to use
comfortables.
There is really very little choice on
the score of economy if the comfort
ables are purchased all readymade, as
good light one that is properly made
costs almost as much as a pair of
blankets of the same warmth. The
readymade comfortable is, moreover,
seldom put together so that it can be
Numbered.
It is very simple matter to make a
good-sized comfortable at home, if
there is quilting frame in the house
1t Is very difficult to find readymade
comfortables of proper size for a double
bed. Double comfortables" are usual
ly too short and always too narrow.
A comfortable can be made at home for
less than $1.25 that is three yards
square, though 21s yards by 21s yards
is a very good size. Use the patent cot
ton, which is much softer and lighter
than the cheap "bats" that require
spreading. Tack the comfortable with
Germantown yarn, and finish it on the
edge with buttonhole stitch in Ger
mantown yarn. Such comfortables are
easily ripped up when they are soiled
Do not attempt to wash the cotton, as
it does not pay. Wash the outside and
use fresh new cotton.-N. Y. Tribune.

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINING.
There Is Secret In It which Must b
Learned.

There Is q Secret In It Which Must Be
Learned.
81 do all know how to do when see
that my table is properly appointed
and my menu correct" 1 heard a wo-
man say recently. But there was no
one among her listeners who could tell
her how dull her dinners and her even
ings were. No one is happy with a
hostess who conveys an impression of
having done her duty, even all her duty,
to the fullest. One likes it no more in
hospitality than one does in love. A
sense of having done duty dams many
a spring at it's source, and nothing re-
freshing to soul or body can ever flow
out afterward.
The woman who apologies for the
little she has must always be failure
when she entertains. Yet her nonsuc-
cess is no greater than that Of her sister
who is so overwhelmed by her grandeur
as never to be able to equal her condi-
tions. There are hostesses in great
houses who seem to be no more part
of their surroundings than frightened
mice who sit in corners.
The secret, in fact, of success, in en-
tertaining is as subtle and elusive as the
secret of charm. Yet few things in
life, unless it be the way to bring up
children, tempt the world into laying
down so many laws on the subject, or
into framing SO many precepts. The
secret, however, must always be elusive,
because it lies in the power of person
ality-the personality of host or hos
tess; and by personality mean the ex-
preston which each individual nature
has consciously or unconsciously
framed for itself. And in this express
sion lie tact and taste, generous i'm
pulse, kindly feeling, love of others,
subordination of self, readiness to give
and willingness to receive, power of
adaptability, desire for harmony. And
these tests of success hold good whether
entertaining involves lavish display, in
which the unaccustomed are apt to be
bewildered, or includes only hospitality
extended to those who would otherwise
be without shelter.-Harper's Bazaar.

in man11Fo cture, has at last been
removed, and the soft fues are found
pliable. The fringe is made by simply
twisting the fues together, three or
four being used to make one string
for a feather, and more according to
length wanted when tassel is to be
made. The tassels on the end of the
white feather boa mentioned are about
10 inches long and as thick as mans
arm 1t took four girls ten days to
twist the 1000 ends used in these tas-
sells.
Small tassels are used to trim feather
capes and collarettes, and in this way
they very much resemble the fur tails
that edged fur capes last year. In
stead of the bushy mink tails used on
fur boas we shall see soft feather tas-
sells and ostrich boas during the com
ing season. They are dyed in all col
ors, but the prettiest combination is
white and yellow. A white feather col
larette has yellow tessels about eight
inches long, set around the bottom at
intervals of six or eight inches. There
is a sort of jabot of yellow tassels in
front.
A very handsome black cape has
green tassels, which is fashionable
combination now.
Out of a pound of feathers containing
from 60 to so plumes about eight tas-
sells can be made or the size described
on the white boa. It is a new indus
try, but there are already 100 people at
work in the factory. The product is
called plume de saule. The manufac-
turers intend to use it i'm connection
with novelties in fur goods. There will
be ostrich tassels on fur muffs and boas,
and it is possible that we shall soon see
a soft fabric woven out of the silver
threads.
Feather muffs with ostrich tassels
are being made to go with the ostrich
boas. large firm in New York holds
the patent on this material, but it is
being scattered broadcast all over the
country, and there is every indication
that it will be the leading trimming
of the coming season.
In making this feather thread the
very best quality of plumes are used,
as a poor grade would give stringy
fringe that is not pretty.-N. Y. Sun.

A groan of horror escaped from pass
ing pedestrians as the scaffolding gave
way, and the form of the house painter
was seen to drop through the air. He
caromed ON the third-story cornice,
struck the telegraph wire in front of
the second-story windows, plunged into
pile of bricks on the sidewalk, and
rolled to the pavement with thud.
Strong men turned away their faces.

The girl gave sigh of satisfaction as
she surveyed her finished task, then
covered all with length of netting.
An hours rest, u lunch for which she
brought good appetite, and then she
set out on her search for October treas
uTes.
She was back long before the hour of
her parents return, and when they ar
rived she stood at the gate to receive
them. Hal Dinsley was with them-
as she had expected, and he thought he
had never seen so fair a picture as she
presented in her soft brown dress, q
spray of belatcd goldenrod at her throat
and another in her hair.
There was a happy look in her dark
eyes, and deep flush stained her cheek
as he held her hand in greeting. But
someway he did not like the cousin
Hail." so freely bestowed. A nearer
more to This liking.
They were a little late, so made haste
to prepare for the meal which Nancy
said was waiting for them.
How everybody did enjoy that tea.
1t was not considered ill-mannered in
that section, if anything was particu'
larly good, TO say so, and Nancy found
herself loaded with compliments.
Now. here's a pie a man can eat
without haunting fear of Indigestion
or nightmare" said Mr.. Moore, as he
deposited a generous triangle of the
mock mince upon his plate. "You have
eNcelled yourself, dear, they are splen-
did" Thus it was with everything I'M
til the cakes were passed.
Nancy sat with downcast eyes, blush
ing under Halls admiring glances, when
sudden and complete silence on the
part of all caused her to look up. Mr..
Moore was evidently on the verge of
fit or making a heroic attempt to sup
press a laugh. She glanced at Hal. He,
too, was smiling, despite all efforts to
the contrary. MY DEAR" said her
mother in n queer voice, where did
you get the sugar for your cal1e?"
Nancy looked surprised. "Why, after
used what was in the bucket, / opened
that paper papa brought yesterday"
''Oh, by George, thought so,' and
Mr.. Moore hurst into a ringing peal of
laughter.
Mrs. Moore could not speak, but mo-
Ationed for Nancy to taste her piece OF
cake.
She obeyed, but the expression of dis
gusted amazement on her face which
followed was too much for Hal, and he
joined the chorus. Nancy sat a mo-
ment the picture of modification. Her
beautiful cake, which rivaled the snow
in Wilderness, and her cream layer Of
which she had been so proud, were both
made of salt!
But really, it was too comical, and q
moment later she was laughing as
heartily as any of them.
Well, the supper was great success,
Notwithstanding her awful blunder;
and ere she laid her head upon her
pillow that night, Cousin Hal, who
really was no cousin after all, had asked
her to sweeten his cakes for all his life.
And she had promised to do so, provided
he furnished nothing but salt.
Nancy is now mistress of home of
her own, and has become a notable
housewife. But she never uses the con-
tents of a package without being sure
whether it is sugar or salt-Good
Housekeeping.

OSTRICH PLUMES.
Feather Tassels Of the New Thread
Boas and Capes.

Feather Tassels Of the New Thread fOS
Boas and Capes.
There has been a new departure in
the manufacture of ostrich feather
trimming. The feathers themselves
have been transformed from the
sprightly, curly tips to a stem with
long fringe hanging from It's fiues. The
attempt is to make them droop like
paradise feathers, as that is the craze
of the hour. The fringe is usually in
a different tint from the rest of the
feather. A white feather, for instance,
will have a yellow fringe about eight
inches long.
1t appears to best advantage, how
ever, when made into tassels and used
to trim boas and capes. This material
is not new; it is merely new way
of using the feathers themselves. The
stiff, ungainly stem, which has always
been so much in the way Of progress

Cynical.

Those who have reached point in
their journeying ON wrong road where
they have lost their pride in good
name are in a very dangerous position.
They are not far from the moral case
of a certain Spectator of whom one ac-
quaintance said to another:
81 don't see how he can do as he does;
he does not seem to think much of his
reputation"
''Well," answered the other man, "I
don't see how he could think much of
tits so bad!"-Youth's Companion.
