Mother Goose

How old are the melodies of the old
nursery book of Mother Goose?" The
volume is known to have been printed 1872
years ago. Tom Fleet was the publisher.
He had printing Office in Pudding Lane
(now Devonshire street,, Boston. Moth
err Goose was his mother-in-law, who
sang to his baby through all the day and
part of the night, until he resolved to
caricature her. If the venerable mother
in-law joke be really an American pro-
duction (Which 1 greatly doubt, this
may have been one of its earlier forms.
Probably the picture upon the illuminat-
ed cover possessed some suggestion OF
likeness to the old dame, to whom 1T
gave immortality in the nursery world.
Few queens have ever become so widely
known by name or been so long renem-
zbered by the world. A representative OF
her family was living, a few years since,
in Missouri, and was much called upon
for "reminiscences of family legends con-
corning her.
But the melodies themselves? Many
of them were older than Fleets collec-
ton by ages and ages; and some of the
topics antedate the written history of
England.
How many of us think of Old King
Cole as a real king of Britain, or con-
meet his name with the city of Colches
ter, named in his honor? He was one Of
the legendary kings, 1t Is true, but one
of the latest of them, and his period was
subsequent to that of Cymbeline (who
was king at the time when Christ was
born). The Welsh stoutly assert that he
was the father of Helena, empress and
saint, who was the mother of Constan-

1t a collar of chinchilla embellished with
turquoise blue velvet overlaid with
design in white silk braid reached wen
over the shoulders and curled like the
cup of Gala lily about the slender neck.
A vest Of the turquoise blue velvet ana
braiding peeped out from underneath the
jacket, and two pendent stitched bands,
which gave a touch of uniqueness to the
frock, secured the coat to the front OF
the skirt by ornamental buttons.
The prevailing styles in millinery are
those of the Louis XIV and Louis AVI.
periods. Of these the toques show the
most noval touches. Instead of being
much trimmed, as was the fashion
season ago, they are markedly plain, de-
pending for their charm upon the oddi-
ty and chic impaired to them by the
milliners skill in construction. Long
frames covered with rich materials and
reaching well over the face often have
no other trimmings than art nouveau
buckles or knots of soft, rich velvet,
than which there is nothing handsomer.
Underbrim trimmings are still used, but
a mere suggestion of color contrast in a
knot is considered sufficient.
The use of artificial flowers is not con-
fined to millinery. Exquisite evening boas
of flowers combined with silk, with chif-
fon, with mousseline de sole and with
plain lace are much affected. On evening
gowns sprays, garlands and single flow
ers are worn, but with difference, for
the blossoms upon costumes are mostly
the handmade ones of chiffon or velvet

Novelties in tiaras would seem difficult
to achieve. However, at recent dinner

Paris wore a rema rl1a bic affair consist

that will in like manner tell story.
Short coats with embroidered waist
coats retain their popularity for prone
made and carriage wear. The embroid-
cries are frequently done by hand and
range from garlands and knots of flowers
in silk thread to elaborate appliques.
Chenille decorations are also quite COM
mon.
Evening costumes rejoice in rich deco
rations. Some of these are motives done
with gold thread or chenille over net or
other sheer material. Paillettes, although
occupying a subordinate position in the
decorative scheme, are nevertheless util-
lied in the touching up of chenille en-
broideries or in the outlining of appliqued
flowers and foliage. Coarse net touched
with spots of black chenille overlaid the
founces on very smart dinner dress.
The corsage was further embellished
with vest of white, over which the dot
ted chenille net was draped.
Black and white continues to be much
worn Even plain black, although so
long exploited, seems to be as strongly
intrenched as ever in fashionable favor.
