The first National Congress IF Mothers
will be held in Washington, D. C.'
February II, 18, 10, 1897. Washington

kqnah. as the value of kindergarten work
and the extension of its principles in
more advanced studies. a love of

their enthusiasm will warm the hearts
not only of all inothers, but of all man
kind, to an appreciation of the sacred
obligations ed to the raoe through the
children Of to day and the generations to
| come. Amorig these will be many who
are not moth ers, but who, through their
| works, have shown themselves possessed
| of the mater nal instinct In it's highest and
holiest senst., and who will therefore be
most weloo me.
Everything will be done to make the
expenses OF those attending this Congress
as light possible in the way of rail-
road, bo arding rates. etc.

THE CHESHIRE CHEESE.
A Quaint Old Inn in London-Oasis of

A Quaint Old Inn IN IOnuOn-OaBs OF
Peculiar Charm.
Along Fleet street nineteenth-cen-
fury humanity rushcs in throngs, few
erishly intent on the main chance, says
Scribner's. But now and again units
from the mass fall out and disappear
into a little doorway, so unobtrusive
in its character as to be easily passed
by strangers in search for 1t. A small
passageway. bit of court, and one
enters the old Cheshire Cheese, tread
ing In the footsteps of generations of
wits and philosophers. A wit the visi-
tor may not be, but he is certain to be
the other in one way or another and
his purpose in coming here can have
little in common with the hurly-burly
he has but just left out there on Fleet
street. The tide of affairs has left
him stranded on an oasis of peculiar
charm-a low-ceilnged room, brown
as an old meerschaum, heavily raftered
and carrying to the sensitive nostril
the scent of ages, the indescribable
aroma inseparable from these haunts
of geniality; wide windows, white
curtained on two sides, and smiling
upon the newcomer; the merry glow
OF the fire in the old crate, flirting
tiny flames upward that caress the
steaming, singing kettle hanging just
above. The old copper scuttle glints
with the fitful CLEANS upon it's bur-
nished, pudgy sides; the floor spread
abundantly with sawdust softens the
sound of footballs. The white table
cloths make the note of tidiness, re-
lieving the prevailing low tone of the
room. Over against one wall hang two
cooked hats and cane, Johnson's.
The silk hats and trousers of modern
London almost seem out of harmony
with the coy Quaintness of their en-
vironment, but smalls and buckles and
cooked hats pass away and architec-
ture survives the fashions and per-
sons of its creators.

FRILLS OF FASHION.

With the long-sleeved evening and
theater waists now in vogue two-button
kid gloves are worn.
Among the newest knick-knacks for
the boudoir writing desk are dainty lit
tie silver letter weighers.
Very large silver serving spoons are
seen in vast array. Such spoon makes
an acceptable wedding gift
Miladys favorite stone seems now to
be the amthyst. This Jewel is seen
set in large variety Of stick pins and
brooches.
The latest ties are of black satin
with white figures, and the newest
ruffs for the neck are OF grauffred
japanese silk.
The latest of the new shades Of green
constantly appearing is named after
seaweed and seashells, to convey the
water-green tint effects.
Laces in very odd applications are
seen on the handsomest evening wraps
of telvet. Most of the cloaks now
worn at the opera are lined with fur.

The polar bear on one side, and the
two grizzlies on the other, of the line
of bars that separate the bear pit in
the Central Park Menagerie into two
compartments, scrap little now and
then through the bars. They can't
reach through far enough to do one
another much damage, and they don't
fight very much, but while ago the
polar bear had a piece nicked out of
one of his forefeet by a grizzly's claw,
and the wound made sore spot,
which needed to be healed. 1t would
have been possible to lasso the bear
and so secure him that his paw could
have been bandaged; but he would
have torn the bandage off the mo-
ment he was released, and other
means to cure him were adopted
A healing lotion was prepared, and
then, when the bear had been at
tracted to the front of the pit, while
one man fed him some food that he
liked very much, another applied the
healing lotion to the sore foot by
means of syringe, and the applica-
ton was repeated in this manner as
often as was necessary until the
bears foot was healed
