New Coif1ure Ornaments.

The black velvet bow for evening
coiffure has a powerful rival in the
new and very attractive artificial flower
arrangement. This consists of two or
three blossoms fastened to shell hair
pin by tiny pad of silk or satin rib
bon matching the color of the flower.
Large flowers promise to be the most
popular. The orchid is certainly the
hsndsomest for this purpose, although
roses and jonquils are exquisite. Large
purple velvet pansies are exceedingly
effective in white hair. e.

An Old Fashion Revived.

There is an ominous rumor that
women are to wear gathered skirts.
Box-plaited skirts are here already,
and while they were not received with
such open arms as was the habit-back,
still they are being worn. It remains
to be seen if women will 60 back to

ARRANGING the Table For n Formal Dinner.

Arranging the Table For Formal Dinner.
The plates, which should be placed
at even distances apart. usually two
and one-half feet. should be as hand
some as one can afford, and the silver
is arranged with two dinner forks, q
fish and an oyster fork at the left of
each plate. At the right are two din
ner knives and soup spoon. Fish
knives are no longer used, the fork
being considered sufficient to cut the
fish. A cut-glsss. or Bohemian glass
goblet for water should be placed at
the right. The goblet is now deemed
more elegant than the tumbler. The
ice-water is not placed upon the table
nowadays, but is left on the sideboard
in glass pitchers, from which it is
served by the servant when needed.
The floral decorations vary according
to individual taste. A centre-piece
should never be too large, and should
never extend within foot ofthe plates,
nor be so high that the guests cannot
look over it.--Woman's Home Com.

Biscuit Work Cushions.

Biscuit. work cushions are among
the latest things out in the way of
fancy work. They are made of little
balls of cotton covered with bright
colored silks OF ribbon. The balls are
all stitched together and sewed on to
the silk or woolen foundation, which
is made into a case, which buttons
over a square pillow of down or
feathers. The effect is very handsome.
The sending of biscuit pillow or
cushion is understood to mean that
the recipient "takes the cake" Some
of the little silk-covered balls are
delicately tufted to resemble bis

Silent Brides.

In Korea during the whole of the
marriage day the bride must be as mute
as statue If she says a word, or even
makes sign, she becomes an object Of
ridicule, and her silence must remain
unbroken, even in her own room, though
her husband should attempt to break it
by taunts, jeers or coaxing, for the
female servants are all on the watch for
such breach of etiquette as speech,
hanging about the doors and chinks to
catch up and repeat even single utter
ance. which would cause her to lose
caste forever in her circle.
This custom of silence is observed
with the greatest rigidity among the
higher classes. 1t may be week or sew
eral months before the husband knows
the sound of his wifes voice, and even
after that for length of time she only
opens her mouth for necessary speech.
With the er-in-law the custom Of
silence is still more rigid, the
daughter-in-law often passes years with
out raising her eyes to his or addressing
word to him. In Bulgaria months
silence is imposed on brides unless
specially addressed by the husband.
