The wedding cake in this country
does not play such an important part
as 1t does abroad. In England at a
large wedding, the cake is OF colossal
proportions and its adornment is a
work of art. At the recent wedding
of the daughter of the Earl of Rose
berry, Lady Margaret Primrose. to the
Earl of Crewe, the wedding cake was
six feet high and decorated with prim-
roses, wild heather and the Rosebery
and the Crewe coat of arms. IN New
York the cake is arranged with an idea
of convenience and is put up in indi-
vidual boxes and when there is a regu-
lar wedding cake in addition ii IS of
normal size and with conventional
flower decorations. In the brides
cake, which is always plain, is the
thimble, ring and sixpence to foretell
the fate of the lucky or unlucky reci-
pient. Sometimes there is a combina-
ton wedding and brides cake. and
fruit cake in the center and the plain
outside. The cake is marked off into
portions, with pink or green frosting
for the men and white for the women.

An interesting phase of the charac-
ter of Marie Bashkirtseff was her in
capacity to fall in love, even though
she was very lively young woman.
1t is said that at one time, when two
young and wealthy suitors presented
themselves, she wrote to her father for
advice, saying that both were the same
to her. Doubtless her great intellec-
tuality, as in the cases of many other
famous women, kept her heart so far
in the background that it was invul-
nerabIe to attacks. This may be dag
nosed as one kind of heart failure

Fads in Embroidery.

Hand decorations will play dainty
part in the wardrobe this year. A pref
ty fad In handkerchiefs is to buy them
with colored borders, then trace the
name in pencil. and etch it in linen
or silk to match the edge. A more
striking whim of fashion, though, is
the embroidering of monograms on
gloves. The best way is to have the
gloves made to order, with the back
stitching left off: the monogram is
then placed in the center at the back
Of the hand.

SERIOUS HINTS ON DRESS.

With Some FIippant Comments by a
Boston Man.
We have received a little pamphlet
which we hope has been distributed
widely among our readers. The care
full study of it may put an end to
doubts that have embittered house
holds and poisoned the wells of domes-
tic happiness. This little book-we
dislike the term booklet" in
simple language how to dress your
coachman, groom, butler, doorman and
page. Thus, for instance, the coach
man should wear six buttons on his
coat-two in the back at waist and two
at the bottom of skirt. He shold also
have fats on his pockets. Otherwise
he might be mistaken for the groom.
who has no flaps on his pockets, and
has five buttons in front and six be-
hind. These buttons should always
match the metal trimmings on the har-
ness. Ardent Bryanites will, Of course,
use silver. The hat must be silk. There
is no alternative. SLOUGH hats are no
longer worn by the coachmen of our
more exclusive citizens, and the more
fastidious insist that the hat should be
a new one, not a cast-off dicer of the
muster. The coachman, when on du-
ty, should smoke only cigars. They
should cost at least at the rate Of three
for quarter. Green baize cloth
aprons should match your billiard ta-
bic. Crest buttons, worn by your SER
wants, should be ducal. There are
several dukes in England, so there may
be variety in the device By paying
attention to these details and the adj
vice as to other matters given by this
pamphlet, you will be obliged to be
more scrupulous as to your own dress;
for it is sad sight when the groom is
mistaken for the MASTER Boston Jour
