PREVAILING FASHIONS.
Clever Winter Dresses That Mock
Winter Weather.

The pretty sleeves seen on many of
the full-dress toilets are in many in
stances but following up of the art
istic styles which were introduced late
in the autumn, and which will appear
on court dresses worn at the coming
English coronation. The Alexandra is
an elbow sleeve with gauntlet revers of
jeweled embroidery, with a wrinkled
mOusquetaire forearm of mousseline
brilliante. The Victorian sleeve is bell
shaped at the elbow, and finished with
full gathered undersleeve Of lace or
net. The early, Florentine model is
close-fitting from shoulder to knuckle,
with slashings and lacings up the out
side of the arm. The Venetian sleeve
is slightly puffed on the shoulders,
widening themselves at the elbow. with
chiffon undersleeves embroidered in
sold threads and gathered with mar
row band of gold-lace insertion, or
pearl and gold passementeries. The
Gretchen sleeve is slaShed and laced
also. The Capulet style, of India silk,
is close-fitting all its shimmering
length, save at the elbow, where it has
a pretty Juliet puff of satin or velvet.

DEFoRM1TIEs IN CHILDREN.
Uncle Sam Tells Mothers How to
Prevent Them.

Mothers in teaching their little ones
how to walk do not stop to think how
the bones grow. The bones in a babys
legs are soft, half cartilaginous and
very easily bent out of their proper
shape. Great care should be taken not
to allow child to walk too soon, and
above all, not to keep him on his feet
for too long a time. or when he is at
all tired. When he is ready he will try
of his own accord, and he generally
knows what he is about Urging a
child to walk prematurely is productive
of lasting injury, as bow legs are only
too easily formed. Let a child creep
as long as he wants to. Give him
he will be strengthening his muscles
and getting ready for work. Suppose
he is backward about walking, what
difference does it make? A child who
follows his own ideas in learning to
walk will succeed much better and
learn self-reliance at the same time.
The same rule holds good in regard to
sitting up. If he is forced to sit up
too soon it will have a tendency to
weaken his back and interfere with his
growth. Older children should be
taught to sit erect. When tired. insist
upon a child lying down instead of
sliding down in the chair until he is
literally sitting on the end of his spine.
Such habit is easily formed and hard
to correct, resulting in a poor carriage.
bad form and narrow chest. If YOU
observe such q child you will find he
suffers from dizziness and headache.

Good Advice to Women

Will you stuff your little children's
mouths now with cakes and leave them
to be careless or ashamed of you when
they are grown, or will you choose to
grow mentally and spiritually, keeping
well abreast of the day you live in. no
matter if your children's fare be plain?
So shall they turn to you in pride when
they become fully developed men and
women.
Give up slavery to show. Give up
vanity which feeds upon the envy of
neighbors over trining things. Give up
feeding your household with indigesti-
bic food prepared by your own heavy
toll. Give up fripperies of the needle,
all kinds of useless gewgraws, and
teach your hands, your body and your
feet the beauty of rcpose. Learn to
work at what is worth while, to think
of real things, to avoid wasting your
powers upon the pothings of life.

Take Care of the First Teeth.

Importance of taking care of the chill

portant, as decay in the first double
teeth is sometimes allowed to pro-
gress with the idea that these are
transient, and will be replaced. But
this is not so, and the very first in
dication of decay should receive imme-
date attention. The children should
be early taught to brush their teeth
after each meal; and if this habit is
established while they still have their
first teeth there will be very little dan
ger of their neglecting the permanent

THE CIRCUS OF LIFE.

o. Life is like circus,
And wonderful show we give,
And all for the self-same purpose
Making money to live.
There's taciturn Time misunderstanding;
. tbs a very fine show he saith,
As he watches the hope-steeds prancing
Or biting the dust of death.
And the moon-man smiles like a lover
On the comeliest maid he deems,
From his seat in the circle above her,
And throws her bouquet of beams.
But the stars take most to the clowning,
And twinkle with mirth at the sight
OF the antics and whimsical gowning,
From their close-packed gallery height.
So merrily goes Life's circus;
'Tis a wonderful show we give,
And all of us play for this purpose
Making money to live. B. NJ. r.

during the epidemic of 1871 in Phila-

then in charge of St Joseph's orphan

most remarkable results. She dis

She had received the recipe from Fa-

woMEN's HEAD GEAR.
Green the Popular Shade For the Hats
of Early Spring.

Green the Popular Shade For the Hats
of Early Spring.
Green is to be the popular shade in
the new spring hat. The milliners have
been partial this season to crude
shades of green in the trimmings of
hats. The first models from Paris show
that the color has been retained, and
is used extensively in straws and felts
Green will be combined chiefly with
white, black, gray and brown. Two
of the latest models show this fad at
its best. One model is a broad brim-
med hat of white felt, worn off the
face, has the brim caught back to the
crown in front by a twisted band of
bright ivy green ribbon. One end of
this ribbon encircles the crown, and to
it is attached a bunch of pale green
mistletoe, So as to rest on the brim
in front and opposite to 1T behind
bunch Of green and white variegated
holly with red berries. Underneath
the brim, in front the ribbon is drawn
up into large pouf, which is placed
on a folded band of the same.
Another hat, also turned up in front,
is made of a soft shape in iron gray,
homespun. entirely stitched over in
rows about half an inch distant from
each other. The crown is rather wide,
with fiat top and the hat tests on
a band of gray velvet. The trimming
consists solely of two long and very
wide scimitar-shaped couteadx dyed a
brilliant parrot green. These are fast
ened to the right over the brim on Its
edge, so that one curves round over the
the brim toward the left, while the
other, following the same direction.
curves round underneath over the
band.
The advantage of green is that it is
a color that does not fade easily, and
retains its freshness more than any
other color.

HoBBLEDEHoY PERIOD.
When a Youth is No Longer a Boy
and Not Yet a Man.

When a Youth is No Longer a Boy
and Not Yet a Man.
The transition or hobbledehoy period,
between boyhood and young manhood,
when youth is no longer a boy and
not yet a man, is the most trying time
of his life. This is the age when the
Interrogation point assumes colossal
pl proportions, when every faculty of his
nature is asking questions and Won
derin6 what the future has in store
for him. This is the period which tries
him. This is the time when great
changes. the meaning of which he can
not solve, begin in his life. He is grow
ing so fast, and his tastes are changing
so rapidly, that he does not yet know
what he is going to do, what occupa-
tior or profession to choose.
While the youth is in this unsettled
condition, teachers and parents should
exercise great patience in dealing with
him, as whatever is put into this part
of his life is put into the whole of life.
This is the impressionable stage, when,
if he hears a lawyer expatiate upon
the beauty of the law, he will think
that he is cut out for the bar. and will
change his mind next day in favor of
medicine if he hears a doctor enlarge
upon the nobility of the medical pro-
fession. The lad changes from one
thing to another with equal impartial
ity and lack of judgment He has not
had sufficient experience to see the
thorns, the difficulties. the discourage
ments incident to the different voca-
tions, but he sees OILY the flowers and
the pleasant side of them
Then the lad needs the counsel of
those who, understanding his DISPOSE
ton, his talents and his tastes. can
best direct him in the choice of
career.

Shadow dark. The saints defend her.

Hiding form and hidden face.

Who dares go to that embrace?
