NEW USE FOR CHENILLE.
Material Now Plays nm Important I
Part In Dressmaking, Millinery
and Fancy Work.

Chenille is now used upon all outer
garments from the hat or toque, fash
toned all or partly from it, to the
evening slipper showing applications
or rosettes of its velvety threadings.
For the house, the carriage or the
street there are many varying designs
wherein chenille plays an important
part. A Redfern bridal robe shows
it in elaborate embroderies inter-
spersed with mother Of pearl, seed
pearl and opalescent tubular glass
beads. The latest innovation, how
ever, is its combination with furs,
where the adaptation is particularly
suitable. In an ermine collarette the
frogs used in closing are very attrac-
tive. They are of handsomely pat
termed white chenille wrought in
large pear-shaped jet beads. Another
ermine stole shows rosette-like but
tons of black chenille with large half
pearls surrounded by rhinestones-
and so on, the variety is almost end
less, full, fluffy, looped fringe Of
thick chenille forming the edge of
chinchilla storm collar. This large
fringe also appears upon some of the
newest varieties of neck dressing.
| The short boa may be of almost any
material, chiffon, mousseline de sole,
Liberty silk or satin, wired lace,
panne or coarse net, but the decora-
| ton usually is in some form of che
nile. Long stole ends of strands Of
chenille thick as ones thumb fall
either to the floor or knee depth,
and form an indescribably beautiful
| finish for demi-toilet. These come
in several shades, those Of black, white
or pale gray being by far the pret-
tiest, unless one also has preference
for bright golden brown.
The popularity of chenille as an
accessory to dress will bring in its
use in fancy work once more, espe-
cially in cords for edgings of artistic
boxes, baskets and the like. or for
strings to tie instead of ribbon. Che
mile embroderies are great fad
at present, and already women are
ordering designs stamped for work.

sewed to the bottom piece and the

preferred. A brush broom case may
be made in similar way.

DEEP WATER sUpERsT1TroNs,
Some Things That Are Regarded as
"JOnahx' by Gloucester
Sailors

Fishermen think certain articles OF
personal property or apparel to be
"Jonahs." A man carrying black
valise, or wearing white woolen stock
ings or blue mittens, would find much
difficulty in shipping on board a
Gloucester vessel. The almost univer-
sal use of white mittens is largely due
to this prejudice, says the Saturday
Evening Post. The black valise is sim
ply impossible. Some fishermen think
that it is a Jonah" to make toy boats
on board a vessel; others that a fiddle
or checker-board is a "Jonab," and
others that 1t is Jonah" to leave a
bucket half full of water on deck.
Some shippers imagine that it is a
"Jonah" to keep the vessels decks clean
when on the fshing-grounds. Since
the United States fish commission has
been sending out collecting tanks full
Of alcohol on some boats it has come
to be regarded by many fishermen as
q matter of good luck to have one of
these on board. One of the most sue
cessful Gloucester captains went on
voyage without the tank which he had
been accustomed to carry and the
trip proved a failure. On his return
he came to the headquarters of the
commission and begged for tank, say
ing that on no account would he 90
again to the fishing-ground without
collecting materials on board. Among
other superstitions is one that forbids
fishermen to have their hair cut ex-
cept when the moon is increasing in
size. A man who has wounded his fin
ger with hook will Immediately stick
the latter into piece OF pine wood,
thinking thus to hasten the cure Of
his hurt. In dressing Goldfish some
fishermen always save the largest fish
| to dress last.

THE OLD CIDER MILL.

You would scarcely call II music, that
loud noise we used to hear.
And the big machine was rough and in
artistic In Its gear.
But we loved 1t. yes we loved It. and we
loved the nectar tide
That came flowing from the old press
standing there near to Its side.
1t had stood Upon the old farm since our
great-grandfather' days,
In the SHOWS and winds OF winter in the
summers SUMS hot blaze
Stood anear the fruitful orchard. and 1t
may be standing still
Doing duty in Its loyalty. the old cider
mill.
We would hitch the old mare, Betty. to
Its long and crooked sweep
She that always stood so quiet, half
awake and half asleep
Put freckled kid upon her and around
the ring they'd go.
He as proud as any rider in a gilded cir
Gus show
Such a grunting and a squeaking and q
squashing 1t would make.
How. as II in fit of ague. It would
tremble and would shake.
AS the wooden jaws so hungry we with
rosy fruit would fill
Oh! 1t had hired mans appetite, that
old cider mill!
Over yonder in the orchard. underneath
the laden trees,
Faces ever fresh and rosy from the kisses
of the breeze,
All the boys and girls were busy shaking
apples to the ground
And in piling up the beauties till the wagon
came around,
Then we'dload the juicy treasures and we'd
pile up on the load
And would jolt along in rapture down the
dim old orchard road.
All the echoes having trouble with our
screams SO loud and shrill
On the way to dump our cargo at the old
cider mill.
Even yet we hear the humming Of the
hungry honey bees
Coming from those days of childhood borne
on recollection's breeze,
And can see them sip the sweetness from
the old mills grinding NAV.
While we'd suck the same rare nectar from
the big tub through straw.
No champagne OF costly vintage nor no
celebrated wine
From the cellars of creation ever tasted SO
divine
AS the sweet, delicious droppings that the
monster tub would fill
From the press that stood companion to the
old cider mill.
