the most costly of gems, so do the Imita-
ton pearls take the lead in price. They
are made made OF ishskin and q secres
composition. The manufacture OF some
especially good imitation pearls, known
as Venetian pearls" Is a lost art, the
process having been invented by a poor
Venetian, whose secret died with him.
There are about 10000 Of them in this
country. bought in Paris about 10 years
ago; they are very hard, can be stepped
on without sustaining the slightest in~
jury, and will also bounce like a rubber
ball. The difficulty in the manufacture
of pearls is in obtaining the orient, or
luster, similar to the genuine gems. and
it is said that very often of 10000
manufactured few will be marketable
and they are almost as difficult to
match for necklaces as the real. A dog
collar of imitation pearls. with .'dia-
mond'' clasps. would cost about $&0.
1t is said that most of the imitation
jewel business done is with refined wo~
men of wealth, who have their genuine
pearls copied, or buy a novel design
which serves the purpose of a fad as
we'll as the genuine.

and IL i were 70 introduce two o.

urally: expect them to shake hands.
It is the privilege Of q lady to be the
first to offer to shake hands when q
gentleman is introduced to her. When
two ladies are introduced, and one is of
higher rank than the other. 1t would
be an act of friendliness on the part Of
the lady of higher rank to offer to
shake hands.
At dinner parties the hostess uses
her discretion as to the introductions
she thinks proper to make. In this
case it is not necessary to ask a lady
whether she may introduce to her the
gentleman who is to take her down to
dinner, supposing they were not ac-
quainted. 1t is not necessary to intro
duce wholesale at a dinner party, but
when the majority are u~nacquainted,
the host and hostess should introduce
some of the most important guests to
one another before they enter the din
ing room. After the dinner is over the
hostess may introduce ladies to each
other in the drawing room, if she
thinks it advisable to do so.

HINTS ON ETIQUETTE.

1t is very important that discrimina-
ton should be used in introducing peo-
pie to one another, for an unde5ired in
PRODUCTION eompels the person to whom
it is unwelcome to treat the other with
the greatest GOODNESS, or to continue an
undesired acquaintance. As a. general
rule, it is better to introduce too little
than too much, for ones friends can
ask one to introduce them to one an
other, so that ones shortcomings in
this respect may always be made good.
Should the smallest doubt exist as to
whether a meditated introduction will
be agreeable, one should consult the
wishes of both persons concerned be-
fore introducing them.
The unvarying rule in making an in
PRODUCTION is that the gentleman should
be presented to the lady without refer
ence TO rank. This is a privilege Of
sex, and disregarding it shows at once
a want of social knowledge.
When the introduction has been
made, it is usual for the lady and gen
tleman, or the two ladies. to bow and
to make some little remark. It is not
usual to shake hands, but there are
many occasions when this would be
quite correct. For instance, it is al
ways right to shake hands with every
new acquaintance in ones own house:

WHAT CONSTITUTES
BEAUTY IN A CHILD.
New York.

In what does the beauty of a child
consist, and how can such beauty be
obtained Is it in the hair, in the teeth,
in the manner or in something on
which all these are dependent-good
health?
The hair should be cut at the ends
every month to promote the growth.
1t should be washed every two weeks
and should be brushed every night and
morning to make it soft and silky.
If the child's teeth are irregular and
inclined to decay, do not delay in TAX
ing it to a dentist. The teeth of a child
require great care and should be clean
ed every morning and at night on put
ting the little one to bed. The teeth
should also be cleaned after each meal.
A child may be born with personal
beauty, but good manners are acquired;

FALSE JEWELS POPULAR.

Manufactures of Imitation jewelry
have lately met with such great sue
cess that it is said the sale of genuine
jewelry in this city is less than ever
before, and it is also said on good au-
thority that large amounts of capital
are oon to be invested in the manu-
facture of imitation jewelry, says the
New York Evening Post. For some
time past it has been possible to obtain
imitation jewelry in France and Eng
land which is difficult of detection by
experts; but the business has never be-
fore been taken up in this country TO
any great extent.
The principal manufacturers expect
to deal in jewels of their own manu-
f~acture, which are said to be extraor-
dinarily fine limitations of the real
stones, and will have a guaranteed life
Of 20 years. The diamonds" are a
composition of glass, lead and carbon,
tipped with platinum, which is harder
than gold. Every real stone, except
a diamond, is transparent; without the
tip Of platinum there diamonds" would
also be transparent, but with it they are
given an undetectable resemblance to
the genuine stone. These goods are
mounted in 14-carat gold, and so artis-
tically that, when worn the platinum
tipping cannot be seen. An infinite
variety Of designs, copied from the best
real models, are shown, and at a price
which is about so per cent. less than
the genuine.
All the colored stones-rubies, sap
phires, emeralds and turquoises-are
also manufactured in a like way, and
are similar, with the exception OF the
turquoise, to the doublet, except that
they are much harder and are made
on the stone. AS genuine pearls are

ton of every new fril and furbelow

Her own gown was a model of newness
and beauty in two shades of brown. In
its making she carried out perfectly
Worth's decree for fall-two colors and
two cloths.
She's wearing a redingote with the
habit back. If the tight fitting skirts

tainly the newest development of the
snug idea will appeal strongly. The
redingote opens to the left side, hook
ing beneath a stitched band of plain
brown cloth whereon are laid a trio
of dull green velvet five looped bows.
The skirt is of the spotted cloth which
promises to disgaace plaids in felaSaine

yet, without the good manners, the
child's beauty will be little admired.
The mother must strive to teach her
child those early lessons in gentility
that no after training can ever equal in
value.
A mother cannot expect good health
in a child unless she follows hygienic
rules. The child should be put to bed
at 5 O'Clock in the evening after it has
eaten a light meal of bread and milk
or porridge. The sleeping room
should be well ventilated, with a south
ern exposure.
A child ought to rise at I o'clock in
the morning and have a light break
fast consisting of a soft boiled egg
and toast. With this, it may have a
glass of milk diluted with water, but
tea and coffee should never be given
to it.
A great mistake made by American
mothers is that they allow the chill
dren the same food that they them
selves take, and the delicate stomachs
of the little one are disastrously called
OF to do the same work as those Of
grown persons.
What food should a child be given?
Plenty of milk, soft boiled eggs, toast
and a moderate amount of fruit in sea-
son. Very little meat should be served
to it and that only at noon. All kinds
of vegetables that are in season are
proper food. Broths are nourishing
and buildings made of milk and eggs.
1t would be better for children's stom-
achs if they did not know what nuts
and candies were.
If mothers would rear their children
according to this regime, dyspepsia
would not be so alarmingly on the in
crease.

above plan, and in my iftieth year l
can eat anything in the way of food
without feeling any effects. Moreover,
it has preserved my health and strength
in a way that surprises all those who
know me. All this l owe to my moth
er's careful attention to my diet when
l was a child.

Tailor gowns are to be less severe, and
