hidden Fruit.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The young son of a prominent resi-
dent of Oak Park is eviucing great dip
lOmatic powers at thu early age Of
three. He is very fond Of bananas and
eats all he can obtain of the yellow
fruit, in utter disregari of his health.
The other day he was With his mother
in the library, when with earnest zeal
he attracted her attention to some OBJ
ject on the street, when like a flash he
darted from her into he dining room
and climbing on a chair reached his
small arms across the table for the
large dish of fruit.
clarence, Clarence come back
here" called his mother. but the boy
paid no heed to her command.
clarence. come back here. Don't
you hear me calling"
The tone. was this time severe and
the boy, with a banana in each hand,
poked his curly head through the door
and answered sweetly: No, mamma, I
don't hear you; you must call louder"

Hand-Painted Dresses.

Printed muslins and silks will not do
this year. They must be hand painted,
and very lovely and unusual designs
are the result. Let not the unskilled
amateur imagine that she is equal to
the task of decorating a gown or para
sol, for nothing could be more unlovely
than awkward arrangement or crude
coloring. All sorts of flowers are used
lilies. pansies, peoples, roses, tulips
and daffodils-in wreaths and borders
and scattered over the goods. One can
choose ones favorite flower and have
the design made to order, and it is not
litble to be duplicated.
The gown should be cut first and the
pattern made afterward. and so adapted
to the style in which the dress is to be
made. ParasOl and fan are designed to
accompany the gown. Hand painting
is especially adapted to the decoration
of parasols, and in this form will per-
haps be more generally used, for I'M
less one is able to do the painting one
self it is a somewhat expensive luxury.
