basis for the railway is to be a huge

the ascent of the Mount Washington and

road will be from Il to 20 per cent. Pro-

safety and il is expected that passengers

Mousseline brillante is one of the new

chenille. That which is not tucked is
bound to be shirred or shocked. This
is a rule 50 far not broken by an ex-
ception. Few theatre waists are made
of chiffon merely drawn over silk, for
the light gauze is either laid on in one
shirring lying so close to another that
the threads are not seen, else the Eliza
beth shirring is used. In the latter
instance two gathering threads are
worked in close together, then a space
of an inch intervenes when two more

PRETTY PINAFORES.
Little maids who go to school are

Task Requiring knowledge, Tact,
Patience and Perseverance.
When a housekeeper can afford to
pay $40 a month for a housemaid. her
training is guaranteed by the size of
her wages, but girls receiving from SO
to $12 are seldom experts in this line of
business. 1t then remains for the house
wife either to put up with Indifferent
service or to train the servant in the
path that she should walk.
OF course, there is always the bug
bear ahead that when more valuable
on account OF experience and training,
this aid to domestic machinery will
strike for higher wages or leave. In
the meantime she may not and the care
taken in the training often cements a
bond of real friendship between mis-
tress and maid, which is not broken in
years. There is always a risk, but If
the servant who is trained in the ways
of wise mistress does remain she is
a wellspring of joy and amply re-
pays the former for all of her trou-
BILE.
PRELIMINARIES TO TRAINING.
The teacher must know her pupils
good and bad traits, and exercise tact,
firmness, patience and perseverance.
Remember that this pupil is . grown
woman, possessing, no doubt. strong
opinions of her own, which are not
crushed on account of the relative po-
sitions. The mistress must lead gently
but firmly. forgiving bad work the first
time, but not the second, and the fact
must he impressed upon the girl that
no matter what she thinks is the better
way, that of her employer must be fol-
lowed.
The question naturally arises, how
can the mistress teach the proper
method of doing work unless she IN
derstands II herself? If she does not.

No. 4 is the newest theatre bonnet. a

phase of the theatre bonnet. an innocu-
Gus thing no playgoer in the rear of il
could possibly object to. For this, the
foundation pinned to the hair, is of
white milliners' crinoline, overlaid with
spangled lace. To one side is set tuft
of tiny turquoise blue ostrich tips, while
to the left is fastened a long bow of
violet colored velvet ribbon, the whole
length of which runs an arrow of white
steel. Although this bonnet, and it is
no uncommon shape. is pinned by its
foundation to the hair, a high, heavy
comb is thrust in behind, to give addi-
tiOnal security and touch of elabo-
ration the scant headdress seems to
need. NJ. DAVIS.
