Dainty Dress Closets.

Perfumed pads for trunk trays and
compartments of the dresser have
proved so satisfactory in imparting
hat delicate scent which women love
hat one woman has carried out the
Icheme still further. She had been
n the habit of hanging sachets of her
avorite powder in her clothes closet,
>ut 1t did not seem to be as satisfac-
ory as the pads in the bureau. She
'1perimented by hanging sheets
Iround the wall and using liquid
Icent, but that evaporated. Finally
The took out the pads from her trunk
md hung them on the hooks in the
lress closet. Then she thought, "Why
lot pad the closet?'
No sooner thought of than done.
Her best dress closet is now uphol-
tered over all the walls and ceiling.
She did it herself. The backing of
he pads is cheesecloth. Then there
$ q thick layer of cotton batting
hlckly strewn with her favorite vo-
ct sachet powder, and covering tho
whole is q delicate shade of violet
China silk. Before fastening this lin
ng to the walls of the closet it was
led i'll comfort" style with dainty
baby ribbon, tied in bow knots.
The pads are bound all around the
edge with violet satin ribbon, having
oops at the upper edge to hang the
pads to the wardrobe hooks. These
bindings are not "sewed to stay" at
'he top, but may be easily ripped loose
n order to renew the powder at any
line. Pads on the ceiling and above
he hooks are fastened with brass
headed tacks hidden under the ribbon
BOWS.
This luxurious closet may be imi-
iated in cheaper upholstery and be
quite as dainty. SilkoIines, which
,ome in such delicate hues and pat
erns, with sprays of the most delicate
lowers, can be used. These sheer
md inexpensive materials are to be
lad with a white or shaded ground,
md the sprays of flowers may match
he odor violets, roses, crab
lpple blossoms, heliotropes, or almost
lnything in the way of a flower from
which perfume is extracted. If a
White ground with sprays of flowers
s used, the bow knots can match the
lower, and if tinted ground is used
white ribbon is very pretty.--New

A correspondent at Hitchin sends
us an interesting dog homing story,
for which he vouches. The dog is
handsome little foxterrier, greatly
attached to its young mistress, and
very fond of its home. Recently
when the mistress was going to Lon
don for some time she took her pet
in the trap as far as the station to see
her of. On arriving at Kings Cross
she was astonished to fndi the dog
waiting for her on the platform. 1t
had, unperceived by anyone, jumped
on the footbuard of the carriage, and
ridden safely on the through train.
On another occasion, the dogs mis-
tress, going again to London, decided
to take the dog with her. While in
London the dog was lost, aud inquir-
les and Advertisements failed to re-
cover it. Some time after, however,
the dog reached its old home at Hitch
