Antique Lace RIouses.

All over lace blouses are very pret-
ty, made of antique insertion. These
are made over white taffeta or liberty
silk, and the insertion is put together
with narrow beading. Usually in these
blouses two patterns of lace are ussd,
one being broader than the other. The
wide insertion. is used in the middle OF
the front and on either side of the
back, the fastening being here. The
narrow lace is used on the sides and
for the collar.

High Crown Hats.

Here and there, says the Millinery
Trade Review, one comes across a
high-crowned hat, and according to
some authorities, high crowns are des-
tined to be held very fashionable later
on. In the meanwhile. for one hat
made with a high crown, thousands
have either quite low crowns or are
of plateau form. So far as have been
able to ascertain, few American buyers
ventured upon high-crown shapes, and
for the present l think they need not
occupy us much.

ployed by the army since the civil war

Ostrich Feathers Fashionable

The picture hats are not complete
without ostrich plumes. They are gen.
orally seen at their best in black or
black and white. The curtain effect
arrived at by lace of plating of black
velvet is getting less exaggerated, and
women are distinctly tired of the shep-
herdess shape, either large or small. In
reality it suits so few people and it has
become too universally adopted by the
multitude to be any longer considered
worthy of attention by the leading
milliners.

The latest millinery jewelry is of
enameled French gold. some pieces
of which are set with white aud col

brooches of clusters OF cabochons of

Pure snow-white and champagne color

Engagement Etiquette.


The conventions to be observed by
couples engaged to be married are not
so many, neither are they difficult but
they are important.
All the world loves a lover and
equally well does the world love to re-
mark the doings of engaged lovers.
After the consent of the parents has
been gained to the union the next
most importat step is in the giving Of
the engagement ring. This is usually
a solitaire. though there is no par
ticular rule governing the significant
gift.
The young woman's mother sends
out the first announcement of the en-
gagement, or If she is so unfortunate
as not to have a mother, this respon-
sibility rests upon the nearest relative.
Frequently the young lady writes
notes to all Of her friends telling them
privately the date on which her en-
gagement will be publicly announced.
Fashion decrees that the smart man
ner in which to make known an en-
gagement is to have is announced at
q dinner. At this dinner only the en-
gagged couple ad the most intimate and
influential friends of the family are
asked.
Friends who have been informed Of
the date of announcement usually
call on that day to tender congratu-
laticns, the young woman holding an
informal reception.
1t is the duty OF all friends upon re-
ceiving a notice OF an engagement to
call upon the bride-to-be or send con-
gratulatory notes. Those who attend
the informal reception also plan din
ners, teas or dances for the newly be-
trothed.
To be ultra-fashionable, a wedding
follows closely upon the announce
ment of an engagement This, how
ever, does net prevent the existence
of secret understanding between the
lovers for any lensth of time they wish.
Six months is really the limit of
time of elapse between the announce
ment and the wedding. During this
period all the friends have an op-
an and her flance and she is treated
to one continual round of pleasure be-
fore the auspicious event occurs.
Once they are betrothed, some faith
ers and mothers allow an engaged cou-
pie to do pretty much as they please.
Certain formalities of conduct, how
ever, should always be strictly OBJ
served.
For instance, any outward display OF
affection is the acme of poor taste, and
nothing invites censure or criticism
quicker.
Good taste and sense Of propriety
on the part of the betrothed help
them to decide what and what not to
| do.
The love gifts which are exchanged
during the courtship may be almost
unlimited. After the engagement re-
strictions regarding the making OF
presents is raised to great extent.
or course, articles Of clothing or
gifts OF money are never permitted be-
fore marriage, but pretty trinkets OF
all kinds are in good taste.
The expenses of the wedding at
both the church and house are borne
by the parents of the bride.
The luncheon given by the bride
elect to her attendants is as smart an
affair as possible, and each attend
ant should be presented with little
gift OF some kind.-New York News

USE OF RIGHT HAND.
Net Due to Training, Say Seize ntinc
lnvestigatOrs, But to Purely
& Natural Distinction.

Prof. Cunningham pointed out how
1t is evident that as far back as we can
trace man he was preferentially right
handed. Thus DR.. II. Lehmann-N itsche
had examined the bones of prehistoric
men from southern Bavaria and had
found that the clavicle and the long
bones of the right upper limb were dis
tinctly heavier and more massive than
the corresponding bones of the oppo-
site side. All the evidence at our dis
posal goes to show that right-handed-
ness is due to transmitted functional
prominence of the left brain, and this
functional prominence was not hap
hazard acquisition which had been
picked up during the lifetime, of the
individual, it rested upon some struc-
tural foundation which transmitted
from parent to offspring. Modern sci
ence, then, if we have correctly inter-
preted Prof. Cunningham's meaning,
would seem to show that there is u
distinction in nature of the right hand.
1t is individually the one by which
most delicate manual actions are per-
formed, with one marked exception
namely, the lingering in the play of
strlnged instruments which are played
with bow.-London Lancet.

biography of q Snowflake.

Under this title Mr.. Arthur II. Bell.
in Knowledge, describes the life his
tory of the aerial frost flowers of win-
ter. In order to have a. fair start in
life snowflake should be built up on
a pa rticie of dust. Then, if it has the
good fortune to begin its career Mt the
top of cloud many miles above the
earth, and to pass through many at
mospheric strata, differing in their
temperature and the amount of moist
ure they contain, our snowflake is very
likely to become notable individual
among it's kind. In stratum of warm-
or air the little flake catches moisture
on its tiny spiculcs, and whenit enters
colder stratum below, the moisture
is frozen, and so the flake grows. In
a thawing air many flakes sometimes
cohere, forming disks from an inch to
two or three inches across.

The bull's-eye mark is located in the
line which the pointer occupies when
the gun is truly sighted, and there is
also an adjustable mirror, which is
used for bringing the images of the
pointer and the bull's-eye within the
visual range of the instructor. When
the trigger is pulled the automatic
clamp serves to lock the parts in the
proper positions, and the clamp itself
is held in readiness for action by
means of setting devices.-Dctroit
