For the Table.

China, covered with a treasury of
silver, will be much in favor this
season.
Cut glass and silver will also be
combined.
The newest finger bowls are of
eXquisitely colored glass. They rest
in half a silver bowl and stand on
four silver legs. Even the plain
glass finger bowls stand on short
legs.
Pattie dishes in silver standards
are one of the latest novelties for
the table. The pattie cups them
selves are of exquisite china, and
they fit Irmly into the silver stand
ards, which rest on four legs. The
daintiest are of fine Dresden, scat
tered with tiny bouquets of flowers.
Sets of pattie dishes are now fire.
quently sent as wedding gift. Six
are usually in one case, with forks
matching the silver standards in de-

Busy Housewives.

Almost all women like to have
pretty things in their rooms, but
many housekeepers are so busy they
seldom find time for fancy work.
There are spare moments in almost
every day, however, and if one has
a bit of embroidery ready to work
on, it will occupy her mind and rest
her more than If she would sit idle.
Do you need cover for bureau
or dresser? The material need not
be anything more expensive than
butchers linen, which looks well
and washes beautifully. Make it the
width of the bureau you wish to
cover, and long enough to extend
six or eight inches over each end.
Finish the sides with narrow, hem
stitched hens. EmbrOider bunch
of lilacs, or any other flowers pre-
ferred, in two opposite corners, us
ing asiatic flo silk for the flowers,
and Boston art silk for the stems.
Beautiful centerpieces and dOilies
for the dining-rOom table are made
of linen of almost any quality, using
the finest pieces for the best, and
butchers linen or damask tor every
day. They are simply or elaborate
ly finished as the taste of the maker
dictates. If you wish to sketch the
design, many natural flowers will be
pretty copied, or if you lack the time

perforated patterns are very salts
factory. The edges are finished
with button-hole scollops or hem
stitched hens, or the threads may
be drawn out, leaving fringe. The
delicate shades of blue, pink, green,
yellow, and lavender, show the
work to better advantage than white,
and, if the Asiatic embroidery silks
are used, they can be washed any
number of times without fading.
About all the couch pillows and
other cushions are covered with
wash goods now, which is a very
sensible and economical fashion.
Figured satins make nice cover, so
do the new figured art denims that
can be had in variety of colors, and
need no finish except full of the
material about four inches wide and
twice as long as the distance around

made just large enough to slip over
the pillow easily and fasten at one
end with buttons and buttonholes,
so that it can be removed and wash

Plain blue or brown denim is pretty

broidered with colored silks. 1t
takes so little time to work such
things, it would seem that any
housekeeper could afford to have

Thirty Years

For thirty years DIR, Deane has made
study of dyspepsia, and in thirty years
has cured more cases of it than probably
any other fifty physicians combined.
He gave up the study Of theology and
took to medicine, because the most emf
nent physicians Of that day gave him up
as chronic dyspeptic, with only a short
time to live.
Result Of this change = hearty,
healthy, useful life, an enormous prac-
tice, and demand for his pills greater
than for all others combined wherever
known.

Velvet skirts are again in favor, and
gowns of ceremony for matrons are
seen made entirely of velvet.
The ripple has not yet disappeared
from the skirts of top garments,
though it is less pronounced than
formerly.
The ribbon stock collar is gradu-
ally being replaced by fanciful rutfs
or frill escaping from the top of a
full collar.
A past fashion is revived in bas-
que with cores extending to the
shoulders and habit back.
Skirts are gradually decreasing in
width, but ripping fullness is still
admired.
A graceful effect is produced at
the back Of nine-gOred skirt either
with gathers or plaits.
One of the new costumes COM
prises a five-gored skirt and a basque
whose smooth whole back contrasts
with fluffy front.
The mushroom puff on sleeves is
broad and somewhat fat and pre-
sents the scolloped effect character
istic of the natural fungus. A puff
of this order mounted on a sleeve
with venetian wrist is draped in
butterfly fashion. .
Collars and cuffs cut in battle
lnents or in points or scollops and
very iuffily rippled are among the
newest waist accessories. A quaint
fancy is expressed in fichu made
with a n1Otiere vest, one of the many
bodice decorations now offered for
rejuvenating passe bodices.
Leg mutton sleeves abide. a
A belt of ribbon four or five inches
wide, finished in a bow of many
outstanding loops and two or more
ends at the back, is at once more
dressy and more useful than a mar
row leather belt.
The fullness at the front of bas-
que-waist escapes through the
slashes of a stylish waist ornament.
Very deep, overlapping tucks vary
both the fronts and sleeves of a
shirt waist. Most shirt waists have
bishop sleeves and removable turn
down collars.
A most substantial and wintry-
looking head-covering is this sea-
sons hat, with its burden of velvet
plumage. Appreciation is but grudg-
ingly accorded it by those who cher
ish the fancy for lightness and grace
in millinery. Yet fashions behests
must needs be compiled with. The
large hat obtains and offers ready
excuse for the frills and puffings of
velvet or silk in current vogue.
High crowns, some in bell shape,
others almost cylindrical, are COM
bined with broad brims, many of
which show but suspicion of a
roll in front, and are bent up at the
back and appropriately trimmed.
This fashion improves in effect the
contour of the head, and also gives
variation to the style. Soft crowns
of velvet or MORE antique are often
associated with brims of felt or fancy
braid in dressy hats, and all sorts of
pretty effects are attained in the
draping of these crowns.

Do the readers of this department
ever indulge in day-dreams? And
do flowers remind you of some loved
one?
They do me very much.
The white day lily reminds me of

fragrant flowers without thinking of

Petunia, phlox, verbena, and all
those flowers that grew so profusely
in our yard, will ever call to mind a
wee baby girl, who, through the
same affection, would bring her lit
tie hands full of these many-hued
blossoms, slipping in so quietly to
surprise me, and, when | would see
her, she would laugh SO merrily that
all my pain would be forgotten

hide some tears that wouldn't stay

me sleeping, laid her flowers on my

little Jessie! May her precious life

Useful suggestions.

If your cake fails to drop from the
pan when baked, Just turn it bottom
up over plate and lay wet cloth
on the bottom of the pan for few
minutes.
When your dishes look dingy or
old, try rubbing them with a wet rag
and common baking soda the same
is good when applied to tinware.
Soda is also excellent for burns; wet
the burned place and apply dry soda
all over good.
Try roasted onion on rising; it
is excellent.
In pressing lace, it should be
dampened and laid between pieces
of woollen, then pressed with a hot
iron. This will not hatten the
threads. To stiffen lace, steam it
over the tea-kettle and wind tightly
around a bottle or cylinder.
Send your children into the open
air as much as possible. Open-air
exercise is one of the most impor-
tant conditions for the preservation
of health, and, though exercise for
the young infant must be passive,
for the child who can run and play,
1t should be very active, indeed.
*x*
Don't torture your round-shoul-
dered young daughter with shoulder
braces. They won't do an atom of
good, but will make her miserable,
The evil should be corrected at once,
but it must be through physical cul-
ture and strengthening of the mus
Giles of the chest and back. Any
simple little exercise with the dumb
bells will do the business in a few
months if they are used every day.
Many woman who complains
that her once devoted husband has
been attracted by a comelier face
than hers, has herself to blame. 1t
seems to be common failing among
women to save their best clothes,
their best manners, their prettiest
speech.

Of the railroad men declined to vote
one way or the other They voiced
their sentiments by saying they We're
unalterably opposed to Mr.. Pfngree for
governor, but they did not deem it
wise to say so. A resolution was
adopted at adjournment in which all
declared themselves opposed to Mr..
Pingree or any other man for the nom
inee for governor who by any declara-
ton and published speeches abused
railroads and railroad officials.
