Origin OF Guipure Lace.

The origin of guipure lace is wrapped
in mystery. But there is pretty ira
dition regarding it current in the viii
lagos where 1t is made. 1t is said that
centuries ago a certain Venetian sailor
returned from voyage in eastern
waters and brought to his betrothed,
a worker in needle point, bunch of
the beautiful and delicate coraline,
which he told her was the lace made by
mermaids living in the coral caves of
the Indian seas. Pretty as it is," said
the maid, Il will make something far
prcttier with my needle, and my bridal
veil shall De of the mermaid's lace"
The sailor lad went Off on another long
voyage, and during the months of his
absence the girl worked day after day
with her needle forming white dots and
tiny stars, and uniting them with deli
cate brides" till at last an exquisite
scarf of guipure was produced, which
was so beautiful that when she wore it
as a bridal veil all Venice spoke of it
in glowing terms of admiration, and
many noble and royal women became
the patrons of the young lace maker.

A Parrot at breakfast.

A funny parrot lives in Brooklyn,
and is very fond of the lady she lives
with. When the breakfast bell rings
in the morning, she will push open the
door of her cage with her bill, fly down
to the breakfast table, take her own
chair, which she always knows anu
occupies at each meal, and wait till
the family assemblies. If they should
not gather as quickly as she thinks
they ought, she will call out, Hurry
up, folks. hurry up" and at the same
time hop over to the oatmeal dish an
attempt to lift the cover; for she is
very fond of oatmeal, and will make
her entire breakfast of it. She would
not touch the oatmeal, even If she were
able to lit the cover, for she is very
good Polly. After finishing her break
fast, she flies right back to her cage.

Little Billy's Death.

Billy" was a poor little tailless dog
who lived in Twentieth street New
York. He was loved by every one IN
his neighborhood, and there was
sad time when he died. "Billys" tail
had not been cut OH, and so far as we
know no one was ever cruel to him.
He never had tail, A little round
knot where tail ought to have been
was all that he could show. He was
so affectionate and wanted to wag his
tail as other doggies did, but, poor
thing, he had none to wag. So, OF ne
cessity, for he must wag something, he
taught his ears to do it. He could
waggle them like donkey's when he
was pleased or make them bristle with
anger when so disposed. He was the
self-appointed guardian Of large fam
lily of children, and last summer he
could not be persuaded to leave the
doorstep until he knew that every one
OF the children was safely in bed. He
loved to play with the children and
race up and down the street, and did
not mind it a bit if the little ones
hung on to his ears
He took sick and in a day or two he
died. His body was laid in state in
a back yard, and all the afternoon
the neighbors, the children and their
parents, and some quite old people,
too, came in to look at little Billy

Ono Woman Cobbler.

There is woman cobbler at Gram
Rapids, Mich. She is the only woman
working at that trade in the state, and
for all she has heard, in the country,
though it's good trade, she says.
She would almost as soon peg new
soles on a pair of wornout shoes or
patch a pair of uppers as play tn"
piano, and she can do both, and, ac-
cording to the testimony Of her neigh
bors, do both well.
Many girls and women are employed
in shoe factories to do certain pa;rs of
the work where shoes are made by ma
chinery, but Mrs. Harmer isn't that
kind of shoe operator. She can and
does do all the work of skilled cob
bier from the stitching of split seam
in woman's kid shoe to the pegging
of sole on a cowhide boot. She is
every bit as good a cobbler as her
husband, as he proudly admits, and he
learned the trade when he was a boy,
from his father.

Walking skirts.

The fashion of short walking skirts
is boon, but does not seem to have
met with popular favor enough to have
been adopted for the smarter cloth
gowns; these are still long enough to
trail considerably. The sheathlike
skirt is much modified. and the gored
ski.t with circular side and little
fulness just at the back is much more
of a favorite. There are skirts with
one, two or three hIunces, but the
plain skirts with IRENE ndous fare and
trimmed with the fiat trimmings are
made in the handsomest materials.
Velvet bands trim many gowns, while
stitched bands of silk or satin still re-
main in fashion, and are used on the
handsomest of velvet gowns for the
street and on the embroidered lace
gowns for evening wear. Both rough
and smooth cloths are used, the rough
shaggy ones for morning, and made
short, the smooth cloths for afternoon
and rather smarter wear made long,

Deceptive Lace limitations.

don't you match it at Ss?' said my
niece, who overheard the discussion.

day. So, half out of curiosity and
half because | really needed the Irim-
ming, went to the shop next day, and
found that she was quite right. The
pattern was almost similar, and the
imitation wonderful, so | bought suf
f1cient quantity to trim the gown hand
somely. and took it to my dressmaker.
The result was so good that l really
felt quite ashamed to wear it, particu-
larly as one of the best judges of lace
in New York came up to me and eX-
claimed: My dear Mrs. S., you are
wearing a fortune on your back to-
night. | have seen the stomacher be-
fore, but had no idea that you owned

A Gun of While Tea.

Lucy and Laura were playing house
under grandmas trees. The dollies
sat around the tiny tea table and were
as good as gold, speaking only when
they were spoken to, and always say
ing Thank you," when their little
mothers passed them cake or jelly.
That is what children ought to do.
Mariana Angelica wants some
white tea. Do you think she ought
to have it," asked her little mamma
Mrs. Laura shook her curls, and
frowned at Mariana. Tea is very,
very bad for chipren," she said. Il
never low my chil'ren to dink it, Mrs.
Lucy"
So Mrs. Lucy told Mariana that she
didn't prove of her drinking tea, and
Mariana kept on smiling, just as she
always did But | know she wants
that tea all the same" said Mrs. Lucy.
''It seems too bad that she can't have
what she wants."
Mrs. Lucy slipped her own tea for
a while, watching Mariana all the time
At last she put down her cup with
little bang.
There, she shall have some. poor
dear 1t isn't often she gets it, you
know very we'll. Mrs. Laura. So will
you please to pour out another cup of
tea; then there will be three-one for
you, one for me, and anover for Mari
ana"
Mrs. Laura poured out cup of tea
for the poor, dear child, but she for
got that tea for Mariana must be very,
very white" and when she had poured
it out she gave a little cry:
'Oh dear, dear! This tea is very
too strong for Mariana. It's too strong
for me or you, Mrs. Lucy. What will
we do with it?''
'We mustn't waste it." said Mrs
Lucy. "Oh, know! There's Rover:
We'll 'vite him to the party an he can
drink the tea
Rover was very glad to be invited,
and he sat up in chair just like the
dollies and ate what Mrs. Lucy gave
him. Only sometimes. l am sorry to
say, he would grab. He drank up that
cup of tea that ought to have been
white" and wasn't; so it didn't get
wasted. And Mariana waited patiently.
