may prove to those women who are so
| finely proportioned that almost any and
Eevery fashion introduced may be followed
by them.
Exquisite trinkets for the bride to give
her maids are brooches formed by two
churubs' heads clasped by a link of dia-
monds. The heads are enameled in col
ors, the round, babyish faces, curly heads
and soft, feathery wings which spring
from the shoulders being delicately int
ed. Two hearts, one of ruby and one of
pearl surrounded with diamonds and sur
mounted by a in diamonds,
is al ornament that a wealthy bride may
give TO each of her attendants. In tur-
quoise and pearls or moonstone and pearls
these ornaments are almost as pretty,
and, of course. much less expensive. Fans
of point lace, chicken skin, silk Or gauze,
according to the purse of the bride, are
favorite souvenirs to give the brides
maids. These pretty wind-wafters have
the monogram of the recipient on one
outside stick and the entwined initials
OF bride and bridegroom on the other.
The monograms are usually in silver or
gold script, but at a recent wedding the
fans given to the maids were of painted
silk lace. the sticks of pearl, and the
monograms of real diamonds.

Some, very creditable verses by Hide
garde Hawthorne, in the current num-
her of a magazine, mark the appearance,
though not strictly the debut, in litera-
ture of a third generation of the Haw-
thorne family. According to the laws of
heredity this young woman ought to be
the heiress of Nathaniel Hawthorne's
genius, and the world of readers will not
obIige her to live up SO high a standard
as her father found established for him
self. Miss Hawthorne, who has just
passed into the twenties, is the Oldest of
Julian Hawthorne's large and interesting
family. and she has long been the apple
of her fathers eye. She has been cele-
brated in verse by Eugene Field. who had
a strong affection for her.-Leslie's
Weekly.
The bow of great size so long worn at
the back of the neck. is now replaced>b by
dainty lace pleatings, "twice-around" Di-
~rectoire scarfs, high silk or velvet collars
or the Napoleon stock, much affected by
women with long necks. The scarf is put
on in folds like the old-time black satin
stock, carried on the back of the neck,
then brought around, after first being
caught there with a jeweled pin, and tied
in a soft. fluffy bow under the chin. These
ties may be formed of net, silk muslin,
India null, or silk in gay colors, or plaids
of rich Roman stripes. Other pretty fan
cies in neckwear and little Paquin points
of linen lawn, with cuffs to match. These
are to be worn with dressy tailor gowns
or by those who find the hard blue-white
linen colors so unbecoming.

Lamp shades of painted glass are the
latest household novelties from Paris.
They are globe-shaped and Opaque, as
the glass is first painted white before
the design is put on. Most of the shades
are adorned with clusters of flowers. iris,
orchids and chrysantheIauTns seeming
to be the .favofites. The standards of
the lamps are slim columns of Dresden
or come other china with floral designs.
The woman of the period must have
her desk furnishings entirely in bronze.
This is the very latest idea. Her ink
bottle should be of cutglass and bronze,
she win lave a bronze penllolder-a cal
endar richly framed in bronze, a bronze
tray and stamp box. Her large blotter
which rests on her desk should have its.
corners capped with bronze, and her
plotting pad have a bronze top and
knob. These itments give to ones desk
an air of elegance that it never knew
when Dresden china and silver were the
acme of fashion.
There are not perhaps many persons
who know that sage leaves are valuable
in the toilet. They are excellent for clean
ing the teeth, keeping them white and
free from tartar.
Take two or three fresh sage leaves
and after rinsing the mouth and teeth
with clear water, rub them on the teeth
and into the interstices. Then rinse
again with clear water. AS an astringent
wash for soft gums, a decoction of sage
leaves is very effective.
Tako a handful of freshly gathered
sage leaves, wash them, put them into
a basin or jug, pour boiling water over
them and closely cover. Allow the liquid
to remain until cold; then strain and use
as a mouth wash. If the tonsils are
swollen and the throat infiarned, this de-
coction of sage leaves may be used as a
gargle with good results. AS a lotion
for weak or infamed eyes it is both
soothing and healing

According to the Westminster Ca
zette." the School Board of Maryhill and
Possilpark, n. b., has given a most ex-
tr%aordinary decision, viz, that mothers
are not parents. Some Episcopalian par
cnts asked tina their children might be
exempted from learning the Presbyterian
cathechisn. The sapient board have
granted the request in all cases where the
father signed the request, and refused 1t
where only the mother had asked the
favor. The hand that rocks the cradle
evidently does not rule the world in the
North.
Ever so many shades are seen on one
gown or single waist. The warfare of
the colors this season, says a writer in the
