cards. The designs are varied. accord
ing to fancy; one well known literary lady
had miniature photographs of herself and
husband, framed with silver bells. at the
top of the at home cards; the bells bear
ing the dates of the wedding day and of
the silver wedding day. The point, how
ever. is to avoid being too ornate or TO
Cupids, hands and hearts united. etc, and
thus many prefer to have invitation cards
as plain as possible, so as not to err in this
direction.
At a reception or afternoon at home a
husband should assist his wife in TeCeiv-
ing the guests, and also at a dance. When
a dinner party is given it is usual for him
to take his wife in to dinner and place her
beside him at his right hand, as at their
wedding breakfast of long ago; they should
precede the guests. not follow them. to
wife to wear white. or white and silver.
Some husband rather object to occupying
so prominent a position, and prefer that
the usual precedence observed at din
ner parties should not be departed from.
The decorations Of the dinner table should
be of white and silver. white fiowers. sill
yer vases and receptacles for flowers,
menu cards in silver and so on. and a
buttonhole bouquet of white flowers should
be placed for each guest. The health Of
the husband and wife hould be proposed
the husband should return thanks in the
shortest possible speech. When a dance
is given the husband and wife are ex-
pected to dance the first quadrille togeth-
er and to go in to supper together also.
1t Is usual to include a wedding cake in
the refreshments provided for an at home
and also in the dessert at a dinner party.

the contrary. go to the opposite extreme,
and are continually pulling their smartest

satisfactory. They never entirely lose the
feeling of self-consciousness while wearing
them.

SILVER WEDDINGS.
How to ebr These Special An
niversaries of Matri-

It has now become distinctly the fashion
to celebrate twenty-five years of welded
life by holding a so-called silver we'd
ding reception. 1t is given to few to com
memorate fifty years of married life, but
when spared to reach this epoch, then d
golden wedding is the title the festiVity
bears. and it is celebrated accordingly in
the various circles of society to which the
married couples belong. This romantic
and touching custom is of German origin,
but ii has taken root in English soil and
lions are constantly reaching us as TO how
a Silver wedding" may best be celebrated,
and, therefore, at the present moment, a
few details will he well timed and of in

There are different ways of marking Thu.

usual, to give a dinner party is next i'll
favor, and to give a dance is popular when
a family includes unmarried daughters, or
party precedes an evening party or receF
ton. or an afternoon reception or at home
precedes a dinner party; while now and
again a 'silver wedding" is recognized in
a quiet way, relatives and intimate friends
only being invited either TO a small at
home or to a small family dinner party.
Invitations to all these gatherings, large
and small. should be issued in the united
names of husband and wife on at home
cards and dinner cards; these should be
printed in silver, and either the ordinary
styles adhered to or quaint original orna-
mentation introduced, the latter being
quite permissible on these occasions. The
words, Silver Wedding" should be printed
on all the invitation cards after the day

sertion on many of the frocks. the lace in
sertion making patterns on skirt and
bodice.
If one likes the soleil-pleated skirt II is
an excellent model for a foulard silk, and
to be more elaborate the pleats may have
lines of lace insertion set in, either in
straight rows or to form 4 pattern. A pref
~ sleeve for a soft silk is shirred from a
line of Insertion, following either the I'M
der arm or the outside seam. The latter
idea is perhaps the more novel.
Fashion this season has declared that
there is no hint of vulgarity in silk Innings
which literally speak for themselves, and
the s%tiffest and most gorgeous ~taffetas are
hidden under somber woods and faced
cloths. But the same devotee of Nine. la
Mode, in choosing her summer dimities and
lawns, will have them mounted over the
fabric that composes the gown, says the
New York Tribune, unless, for the sake OF
Its enduring qualities, she prefers an I'M
derlining of soft surah or Indian twill.
1t takes philosophy to reconcile the av-
erage woman to be contented with even
the SmarteSt cloth gown made up over any
thing but a gay silk lining. The difference
in the first expense is little, and the philos-
ophy consists in remembering the ultimate
fate of all silk Innings. They are so crisp
and pleasant at first, so easy to walk in
and to keep perfectly clean. But a cloth
gown is destined for a deal OF use. and 1t Is
not long before a treacherous crack or two
appears in the silk. These may be mended
at first. but a promenade is then attended
with the possibility that a sharp little heel
may catch where ii should not. with I'M
graceful and sometimes dangerous results.
There is nothing for it but a return TO
the tailOr'S for an entire new lining, for
which that master charges a pretty penny
Il seems a bit of a sham. and il Is. there
fore, hard to cOuntenance the building of
q cloth gown over a strong sateen and adj
ding a deep dust ruff1e of crisp silk. but
the sateen will outlast the gown and the
renewing of the dust ruffle is an affair
OF little consequence. One of the high
priced couturieres here told me once that
several of her wealthiest clients would
not be bothered with a silk lining on a
lesser lights on her books hardly dare to
hint at anything else.

COLONIAL STYLES REVIVED.
Quaint Pieces of Furniture for the
Summer HOme-Hints I'm DecOra-
tiOn Worth Copying.

The enduring popularity of household
things colonial among women is not to be
wondered at, for they represent at every
point the wOman's effort at home-making
in the new land.
From the not too fertile fields of New
England fortunes did not amasS themselves
with that quick facility which always
brings the architect and decorator on the
scene, so the village carpenter. aided by
his few books with wOOdcuts of Greek tenn
pies, built the houses with quaint ugges
women made the houses homelike with
what they could devise from models
brought from old England.
So it happens that to-day. in reviving the
styles of the colonial period. we find abroad
almost exact counterpart5 of the pieces
which have come to be distinctively Amer
lean. The shops of London devoted to the
sale of old furniture might easily be set
down with their entire collections in Bos-
ton. and compete profitably with the colon
ial treasures exhibited in that town. Like
Mark Twain's German waiter. who simply
changed the label on the bottle to supply
the demand for a certain wine, the English
designations need only give place to pa
triOtic names, and there you are. But now
adays we reproduce the old pieces with
much consequent Improvement in many
ways.

There are imposing Priscilla wing chairs,
showing cretonnes of really yellow pea
cocks on a truly red field, which look older
than the original from which they were
copied.
For the colonial renaissance in architect

in matters of our early history, there is no
lack of decorative accessories-much al

English Peach Pie.

Peel a dozen nice ripe peaches and leave
them whole. Take a deep earthen baking
dish. Put IN earthen teacup bottom side
up in the center of the baking dish. Next
lay the peaches in all around the cup, fill
ing the dish so the peaches are piled up
in a mound above the top of the dish.
Sprinkle the top well with sugar and a
few little fecks of butter. Cover the top
of the fruit with a light tea biscuit crust.
Cut two or three incisions in the crust and
press IL well to the edge of the dish.
Put the pie in a moderately hot oven and
bake il forty-five minute If the crust
bakes too fast. cover it with a thick sheet
of brown paper well buttered. When the
pie is done. remove ii from the oven and
stand 1t where it will get cool. When the
pie Is before you on the table ready to be
served. slip a knife carefully under the
crust and raise the cup. The Juice. which
has been drawn up by the heat and filled
the inverted cup, will then suffuse the
pie. Serve cream and sugar with this pie.
The English make most fruit pies after
this fashion with no under crust, and they
are perfectly INSTRUMENTATION Wom-

minutes from the time it begins to boil; add
three pints of heated sugar and stir until
it diSSolves; bring the liquid just to the
boiling point again. remove II from the

during the whole boiling process; all inl-
purities can be removed in one final skim

bag for additional juice. which should be
cooked separately.
Red and white currants make a beautiful

and none finer is made than one made from
strawberries. raspberries, cherries and cur
rants in equal proportions. Blackberries
make a richly-f1avored jelly, while that
made from black currants Is especially
wholesome for the sick.
In making any of these tellies proceed ex-
actly as in making currant jelly.

4 the Chicago Times-Herald.

From the Chicago Times-HeTald.
When Nivekananda. the Hindoo monk,
visited Chicago during the worlds fair. he
was greatly delighted one afternoon to
learn that the international Beauty Show
on Midway plaisance contained an East
Indian princess. He lost no time in visit
ing the show. In one of the booths was a
dusky damsel arrayed in East Indian cos
tune and prominently placarded as a
charmer from the land of the Ganges.
Vivekananda addressed her politely in
Industanee, and for his pains was reward
ed by a stare of blank establishment. Then
he tried Cingalese with no better success,
and also the several allied dialects of the
Interior provinces Of India. At last the
dusky beauty spoke in sheer self-defense:
Go way. man" she said, you mus be
craZy!'
Excuse me-" remarked Vivekananda, in
faultless English, but will you kindly in
form me where you were born?"
Use born in Savannah, an Use dun lived
in Georgy all nah life" she said; but yo'
can't fool wild me, if yo' is a stuck-up
No'thern niggah!' And he didn't try to
do so.

Five O'Clock Teas Now Passe.

After years of an English fancy for :
o'clock tea our tastes have changed de-
cidedly. The "Kaffee Klatch" is the latest
feminine afternoon function. The latest
ornament for the ex-tea table is, therefore.
a hadsome coffee set. Two very pretty
styles are the Venetian, the tray of which
is the shape of a gondola, with a short,
broad coffee pot; the other. the Olympian,
with the high, slender pot and cups of
either pattern is made OF copper. Both
are exceedingly quaint and decorative. add
ing new interest to the afternoon functions.
These 'Kaffee Klatches" are held at 1
o'clock instead of ), a much more conven-
lent hour, and DO not interfere with the
appetite for dinner.
Brass belongings for the table are also
passe. All the little brass traps and lamps
are too old-fashioned to be even remem-
bered by the fashionable. Copper has
completely taken its place. The finish of
the finest of these is a very dark Oriental
copper. 1t Is much richer than the brass
ard much palmer. besides being so much
easier to keep clean, needing little polish

He raked II off quite smoothly,
And made some pretty beds,
And at night he dreamed of turnipS
And great prize cabbage heads.
Well, when he got it ready,
He planted seeds galore
OF every kind provided
At the agricultural store.
With fictitious n celery
And radishes and beans
And p-eppergrass and onions
And various kinds of greens.
And cabbages and melons
And cucumbers and peas
And artichokes and parsley
And a few lettuce trees.

And. having done his best,
And being somewhat tired.
He sat him down to rest.

Made all his aborS vain,

Should never rest, that's plain.

But he-he stopped to rest him
And his only crop was weeds.

sists of a straight band of the material,
hooks at the back and develops in
front in a pert. fanlike bow. These stocks

are quite expensive enough to prevent their
ever becoming common. The plaid SILK

variety of exquisitely combined colors.

Sleeves, in new ways, are as ~tyrannical
as usual. A proud dressmaker seeks to
make each pair individual. Yet the effect
must be that of a puff at the shoulder and
an arm-shaped length to the wrist. A few
thin gowns are made with elbow sleeves.
Mostly arm coverings are as long as can be
worn with comfort. The sleeves of a wool
gown extend 10 the hands. A silk one has
a frill of itself or of lace. which reaches
the knuckles. Much practice is required
to wear these long sleeves without bringing
in contact with butter. But women
manage to avoid such calamities with
grace. Just as they always adapt them
selves to the demand of the mode.

Consciousness.

Consciousness
Within the silent rock exist
A billion yearning lives.
Man is a petty egOtist
To think he only strives
To think he only struggles up
To God through toll and pain;
He is but one drop in a cur
Filled from the mighty main.
The flowers have tender little souls,
That love, repine. aspire.
Each star that on its orbit rolls
Feels infinite desire.
The diamond longs to scintillate
When hid beneath the sod.
The universe is animate
With consciousness of God.
