She Walks in Beauty.

She walks in beauty, like the night
OF cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half-impair'd the napneless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens Ger her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek, and DER that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win. the tints that glow
But tell of days in goodness spent,
mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is Innocent

the foot, the silk petticoat is an article
Of much importance. The very latest
skirts are cut with circular yokes and
fitted carefully and smoothly around
the figure, with no gathers at the back.
All kinds of brilliant plaid and striped
goods come for fashionirg these skirts
silk being a prime favorite, and they
are trimmed as delicately and elabo-
rately as any evening gown.
A very pretty skirt was made of coral
pink taffeta, with large black squares
scattered through it. deep circular
ruffie was added at the knee. This was
trimmed with double ruffie, accordion
plated and finished with a narrow
heading of shirred chiffon. Bows of
black satin ribbon were set around the
foot Of the skirt at frequent intervals.
Flounces made of alternate rows of
ribbon and lace insertion are another
fancy, and plaitings of black and white
net trimmed with rows Of ribbon are
very effective trimming. For a very
dainty decoration plaitings of chiffon
cannot be surpassed, and in every case
ribbon is employed, this being consid-
cred very elegant feature of the fash
ionable petticoats.

gentlemen thought it would be a good
opportunity to give Jack a lesson in
manners. So he called the bow and
said: Il see you have two apples.

Jack hesitated, looked rather ruefully
at his prizes, and finally offered the
smaller one. This was what the gen.
tleman had expected, and he proceed
ed to expatiate upon it, ending with:
Now, Jack, whenever you have any
thing to give away, you should always

Sleeves in Summer.

Sleeves are becoming an objective
point in the costume. This is proba-
bly, due to the extreme tightness of the
skirts and the desire to increase the
width of the shoulders as a counter
balance. Plain sleeves are becoming
only in perfectly formed woman, and
hence the efforts Of the modistes to
introduce them have failed. Among
the sleeves seen on eight imported
gowns, the first sleeve is that of an
apricot-colored satin. 1t is cut in a
point on an epaulette of mousseline de
sole. The bottom is cut out in points
upon a putting of mousseiiae. There
is a vine Of embroidery at the top and
at the hand. The second sleeve is that
Of a plain cashmere gown, and is made
elegant and besoming by tucks The
third sleeve is that of wool challie.
1t is cut in two plaits on each side
under a rosette; the top is open upon
a plating of mousseline de sole, with
small ruches. The fourth sleeve is
that of silk poplin gown, with gui-
pure insertion and ruches of mousse
line. The fifth belongs to a tailor made
gown, and the sixth is that of a mauve
wool cut into several parts and faS-
tened down by buttons. The seventh
sleeve Is that of a gray pop1inette
gown, the edges finished with ruches OF
mousseline de sole. The last sleeve,
Of black satin, has the upper part COW
cred by guipure, which is framed by
loops of ribbon. Sleeves will in the
near future form a still more important
part of the gown than they do even
now
AS to the tight skirts, there is some
thing almost shocking about the swath-
ing lines which now so unequivocally
reveal the entire figure OF fashionable
woman. She has Invested herself Of
every possible morsel of inside drapery
which it is given her to discard, and
wears her frocks meat" to quote
big man milliner, over combinations or
long woven vests which reach to the
knee, where they are joined by lace or
silk f1ounces. OF course, this new
skirt, fitted as it is without a single
wrinkle over the back, when trailing a
foot or two in length over green lawn
or velvet pile carpet, is all very we'll;
but how about the half-attempted, half
accomplished version of the country
dressmaker, who just misses the right
curves and grows creases in the wrong
places? Then, indeed, the drastic de-
Iouement is obvious. The ns7v dresses
in her hands become deeds of disaster
instead of things of beauty, and there |
is much gnashing Of teeth over disap- |
pointed ambitions.

Victoria Cleaned Windows.

Here is funny little story about the
Princess Victoria. One day her mother
took her to visit Queen Adelaide The
duchess left the little one alone with
the queen for some time, and the latter
to make the princess feel at home.
said: Now. my dear, you have an
hour to spend with me, and you shall
do exactly as you like"
Exactly as 1 like?" queried the little
princess in glee.
Yes" answered the queen, little
thinking what was to follow.
Then, dear Aunt Adelaide" said the
child, may 1 be allowed to clean the
wlnQOwSE-
Queen Adelaide was somewhat start
led, but the little one had her way, set
ting to work with sleeves carefully
rolled up and an apron tied around
her waist.

For Tired and Tender Feet.

There is nothing more Strengthening
to the feet than salt. But bathing the
feet in salt and water, however, is not
enough Put about a quart of warm
not hot water in a basin, and add a
tablespoonful of salt. Having first
thoroughly washed the feet with warm
water and soap, place them in the salt
bath fifteen or twenty minutes, then
wipe dry. An occasional treatment OF
this kind is very restful, but continued
persistently once a week at least, for
several months, it will be found that
the feet are not only rested, bul
strengthened.
