StyhtA Oh AFImmImR.
In one or two of the large establish

prominent counter devoted to what are
TO be the new fabrics and color--a place
d'honneur, as il were. Sometimes a very
curious observer will discern that the
goods thus displayed are withdrawn
within a very short time, as though
there had been tentative feeling of the
public pulse and the temperature was
not what ii might be. This season, so
far, the piece d'honneur has been given
TO smooth light cloths, such as were
the fashion in Paris last summer, and

Materials may seem extraordinarily
cheap, but there is every indication that
much trimming is to be used on waists
and skirts alike, and yards and yards
will be necessary to make the velvet
bands or the tiny ruffles that look 80
smart and fresh.

HoneSt convictions.

The surest and safest recommendation
to the good will of people whose friend
ship and confidence are worth having
is straightforward and steadfast 10y
atty to faith and principle. Even the
most uncompromising bigot, if not alb
solutely fool, is capable of appreciat-
ing the merit and value of such fidelity
to honest convictions, and is compelled
to respect the motives and admire the
courage of the man whose course is
so directed. Nothing is ever perma-
nently lost by answering allegiance
to honor and right, but ultimate failure
is inevitable where strict adherence to
these standards is rashly sacrificed
through motives of expediency. These
are simple but essential truths which
every young man who hopes to succeed
must build firmly and squarely into the
foundationuponw which hischaracter and
future are destined to rest. - Detroit

A SMeepinG Dress.

1t is desirable thing for house
keeper to have regular sweeping cos
tune for her work. The dress should be
a simple frock of cambric, seersucker
or some washable material, made with
a round waist and straight skirt.
large kerchief of white muslin, digni-
fled by the name tichu, is a picturesque
addition to the dress, and serves topro-
tect the waist from dust. The sleeves
OF the waist should be loose, so they can
be rolled up and give freedom to the
movement. A round cap of muslin,
which may be easily washed, should
cover the hair loosely and prevent dust
touching the hair. The large Dutch
fichu recommended is really very
useful article. 1t is pinned closely
around the throat and prevents the dust
from drifting under the dresswaist or
into the folds of the dress. When made
OF sheet-white muslin, or even of creamy
cheesecloth, it is very easily washed, so
the same frock may be worn for sweep
ing long time without being put
through the wash. Almost any plain
frock of wash material may be used
with this protection of Dutch tichu and
cap.-N. Y. Tribune.
