cordings of velvet are frequently used

the design is a handsome novelty, but
not really practical for everyday use.
Leather designs are still handsome

really useful pillow, while the plaid
ginghams and other wash fabrics are
still holding favor for the couch which

with bran or wool wadding picked into

into place they can be tackled firmly

Bridal Fashions,

Brides are wearing the plainest Of
Gead-white satin gowns at the altar.
These are generally cut en- princess.

the empiecement and sleeves.
Lace wells are more worn than tulle.
The flowers for this occasion are
white roses and myrtle; sprig Of
orange blossoms is generally mingled
with the flowers of the wreath. These
are worn rather low on the forehead,
the hair being pulled well forward
and pinned here and there over the
flowers to prevent that heavy regular

New Bridal Wells.

Every bride likes to have something
new and original in her costume for
that occasion of occasions. Here is a
pretty idea that will be something
new and yet true to the old custom of
the veil.
You can have any material you
choose that is soft and filmy. Then
have wreaths or garlands painted in
the most delicate shades and flowers.
The conventional orange blossoms are
of course the. most appropriate, but
the pale tinted wreaths are charming
and relieve the all white of the regula-
ton bride attire

Every daughter of Eve-or at least
every one who belongs to that branch
of her family that eventually became
Americans fond of pretty clothes,
as an adjunct In the furtherance of the
national desire to please, an instinct
implanted by beneficent Creator-but
not every girl knows that her breeding
is shown in her clothes. and that fne
ones do not make her lady nor I'M
pose upon any one by making her ap-
pear to be one.
Cheap finery only betrays poverty,
which 1t is unnecessary to contide to
the world at large. which regards it
most unsympathetically, and not only
proclaims ignorance of good taste. but
also lays girl open to misconception
and possible identification with the
least worthy of her sex. We are not
all amenable to suggestions for our
good: and. when our desire clash with
our sense of oughtness," it depends
upon the quality of our makeup which
shall prevail Another evidence OF
gentle breeding is a well-modulated

a mixed multitude, and I can pick out
the gentlefolks by their voices"
In the compass of every voice there

throat the lower or chest, and the up
per or head register the use of the
middle pitch for talking is very desir-
able. but the voice should be trained
to slide up and down, varying with the
emotions; low. when the mood in
clines toward seriousness. and higher
when it becomes tinged with excite
ment, An interesting speaker con-
stantly changes his pitch; not abruptly,
but with ease and skill, and the great
er the range one has the more certain
he is to get and retain the pleased at
tention of listeners. Our high-pitched.
strinaent voices are sharply criticised.
and it is quite within our power to
change them.
