Some Becoming Styles.

There are few things that cannot be
found in plaids this year. A woman

for n little plaid goes long way.
A blouse of black satin is edged all
around the top with a design In finest
cut jet. The yoke and sleeves are Of
finely plated black tulle overlaid with
medallions of point lace outlined with
gold thread. The effect is extremely
elegant.
Loose satin blouses without sleeves
or Jokes are becoming to the woman
sufficiently slender to trifle with the
WITNESSES of fashion. They are made
like the chlldren's guimpe waist, a band
OF jetted satin or velvet passing over
the shoulder and ceinture Of satin.

the fullness at the waist. The Jokes and

Decorate the Schoo1roonl

While we build structures that are
pleasing from an architectural point Of
view and modern in their hygienic de-
Vices, we are apt to give too little at
tention to the attractions OF the SCHOOL,
room itself. Bare walls. save where tho
forbidding blackboard is hung. are tho
boundaries of the pupils vision, no
thought being given to the best method
OF so furnishing the room as to make II
n delight to the eye and an elevation OF
the mind. 1t is true that there are some
exceptions, where teachers have at their
own expense, supplied bright and fra
grant flowers and appropriate pictures.
and thus beautified an otherwise cheer
less apartment. Thousands and thou
sands of children spend several hours
each day in the schoolroom. and there
is no telling how much they would be
benefited by surroundings which would
appeal to and stimulate their artistic
sense. The cost would not be great, and
in most cases a few pennies contributed
by the scholars and expended Judicious-
ly by a teacher who possesses tact and
good taste would revolutionize the place
where the children now spend the most
receptive years of their lives.
Brighter, prettier. more cheerful
schoolrooms ought to be provided. Pic
lures of great events, replicas In plaster
of paris of famous statues, works which
represent the genius Of the worlds

the scholars and equip them in q broad
err and higher sense for their contact
with the world and for the noble and
responsible duties of American Citizen

Liverpool Courier that she first attract

soon, and articles from her pen appear

Dublin and The Scottish Leader of Ed

regular contributor to The Times Of
Philadelphia and the New York Mall
and Express.
In addition to her American work,
Mrs. Lane has for some time been tho

awarded to her, and on her return home
irregular contributions to the various
publications of the day began to APP
pear over her own euphonious name OF
Mary Ainge DeVere.
At that time there was to her no
thought of fame or of pecuniary gain.
Her father was well to do-one of the
largest property holders in Brooklyn
and the title page of her first little
book Love Songs" expresses in full
the motive of her song:
] do but sing because I must,
And pipe but as the lnnets sing.
And sing she did. so well that soon
the pages Of all the leading periodicals
of the day. Century, Harper's and
Frank Leslie's publications, Llppincott's
Magazine, Littelrs Living Age, etc.,
were open to her.
As a translator, too, Miss Bridges has
evinced no little ability. translating
from the German. French and Spanish,
particularly the poems of Bonalde and
Becquer. Thou and T. and "Pater
Dlmitte Ills" of Bonalde are among
the most admired OF her TRANSACTIONS.
Miss Bridges has never been bound by
the letters of office work and declares
herself absolutely unable TO write to
order. There is nothing studied about
her productions. Her wooings of the
muse must be according to her own
sweet will.

For the Writing Table.

The newest furnishings for writing
tables for women are of leather. And
by the way, writing tables will be more
fashionable next season than desks
They are spindle legged, of course, and
are enameled or made of wood that
matches or hqrmonizes with the other
furniture. The pads to be used on these
tables are small. hardly larger than the
square sheets of letter paper used on
them. The backs and corners are of
carved or burnt leather. instead of the
long popular silver or decorated china
mountings. The burnt leather is of
several shades of mole with elaborate
design, burnt in dark brown. The eff
feet is dainty and somewhat more femi-
nine than the carved leather. The lat
ter is said to be all imported and there
fore too expensive for q moderate
purse. The inkstands. mucilage bot
ties. sealing wax holders, candlesticks.
pen and pencil trays, paperweights and
. the other articles are leather covered
and carved or burnt with the same de-
sign. The blotting paper to be used
with such sets should be mole colored
or brown to match the leather, and
sometimes 1t has q similar design
traced around the edges. For men the
tashlonable FURNISHINGS for desks are of
cut glass, stag horn and silver. The
inkstands and other large pieces are of
cut glass on massive silver mountings,
with stag horn top pieces or pen racks.
The paper knives have carved silver
blades, with handles of stag horn, in
some instances also carved. but the
most popular are plain and highly poll
ished. Pen STATS of porcupine quilts are
