MY LADY'S BUTTONS.
For the Coming Season They Will Bs
More Beautiful Than Ever.

For the Coming Season They Will Be
More Beautiful Than Ever.
Buttons of to-day can scarcely be
called buttons, as they much more re-
semble elaborate brooches, yet withal
buttons they are called. Surely they
were more suitable for articles of jew
elry last season, yet they are still more
beautiful for the coming season. In
size they vary from the size and shape
of single gems worn in ears to elabora-
tions of jewels and pearls, mosaic or
filigree, the size of a silver dollar, but
generally the size is that of half dollar.
In such sizes are seen large dome centers
of pearl set round with brilliants, ru-
bies, sapphires, emeralds, ETC., or en-
circled with oriental fligree. Again, a
large brilliant has the center, set round
with eight pearls the size of a small pea,
and again outlined in fine filigree in
points of gold, green, blue and various
tints. The finest circle of filigree the
width of the nail outlines mosaic the
size of dime. Filigree resembling the
spokes of a wheel is seen round large
diamond set within six rubies and
sapphires. Many of these new buttons
are square in form with a center stone
and the square of fligree or center
stone and square of other stones, the
four corners being sapphires or rubies
and the others brilliants. Again, the
center may be mosaic with painting of
some tiny flower, such as rose, a
heartsease, violet or forget-me-not.
Such center paintings also appear in
the large-sized round buttons. The
flowers, although small, are charming
ly realistic. Large metal buttons, fire.
quently quite gigantic, sport jeweled
centers, and celluloid is especially good
centers and celluloid have gold centers.
The coloring of the celluloid is specially
good and in great variety. Some of the
painted cepters are of the size of a quar-
ter. Imitation pearl centers are among
the features of the hour. Small heart
shapes of jewels are outlined with fill
gree and are charmingly effective, and
finely wrought buttons are the size of a
dime and are very pretty. Large jet and
cut steel buttons are still to the FORE
Although the buttons are round or
square, there is immense variety in these
shapes, some presenting almost fiat
surfaces, others raised at the center or
at the edge, or intermediately. The
sizes and shapes Of the various gems also
produce many pleasant varieties of tout
ensemble. Jewel buttons, although pre-
senting exact representations of those
to be seen in the shops or venders of real
gems, are inexpensive in the extreme
in comparison with the style and effect.

HOME EDUCATION.
Parents Should Have Hand in Teaching
the Children.

Parents Should Have Hand in Teaching
the Children.
There are few parents who do not
have knowledge that would be helpful
to the boy or girl some time. Many
parents have not the time to give a
stated hour daily to this work, though
many who think this is SO in their case
could plan for this time. Yet, where
impossible or very inconvenient, much
can be done while at other duties.
Not only will the child be receiving
instruction from the best, because the
most interested and loved, instructor,
but he can be made more thorough in
what is often learned very superficial
ly, Or, when the parents have had ad-
vantages outside the public schools,
they may give lessons that will save
many a dollar.
Are you incredulous? Notice little
children, and begin with those old
enough for the chart class of the public
schools, and at the age of ten much may
have been done.
If the parent understands music and
playing, much might be gained by be-
ginning very early in the child's life to
ground him in the foundation princi-
pies of music. IF an artist, then, with
the probably inherited talents, the
child could have the training that in
after days, if higher instruction could
be given, would place him Immediately
beyond his compeers.
If in the education of the parent has
bean included the higher branches of
the college, academy, or high school, a
course of studies can be prepared for
even little children, including algebra,
history, language, literature, etc.-N.
