dresses; a doze- about three inches
square for laying in the drawers among
the linen and the same number of
quite tiny things for sewing in the
corsets, keeping in the purse, or among
the writing paper. These are best ex-
pressed in oriental satin of soft, delicate
hue of the brides favOrite color, and
are filled with Sachet powder, which rep
resents her favorite scent. The sach-
cts may either be left quite plain, gar
nished merely with ribbon of slightly
darker shade, or painted or embroid-
cred with representations of the flowers
from which the perfume they contain is
obtained.

RETURN OF THE PoLoNArsE.

Fashion seems to predict that the pol
onaise effects of the '70s are to be
With US again. Polonaise coats of lace
are among the novelties of the season.
These garments are worn. not as inte-
grail parts OF the costume, but more as
dress accessories, usually over gowns
of contrasting color. OF course, the
lace must be handsome. or the effect is
disastrous. Imitation laces may occa-
sionally be used in the trimming of a
frock, but never except when accom-
panied with other materials. Just now
these elaborate coats are a feature of
the upto-da wardrobe. 1t is not the
coat intended for warmth. but a dressy
house coat, with long tabs, fancy
girdle and costly buckles and buttons.
Those who ought to know assure us
that this will develop into the old-time
polonaise. Certainly the coats as at
present shown are the acme OF dainty
elegance. Those of point venise lace
are extremely chic. One recently seen
at a casino event was in Italian filet,
but the effect produced was anything
but gratifying.

THE INVALUABLE BATH BAG.

Wise women wonder why their sisters
do not more generally use the invalua-
bic bath bag. They are made by filling
q thick muslin or thin calico Dag with
two-thirds Of bran or oatmeal. bits OF
soap and orris root, just to give a
sweet SAVIOR. Let this soak in the water
before entering the bath and make a
splendid lather all over the skin: if
you use this only two or three times q
week it will make the body smooth.
But each bag is good for only twice US
ing once sour it does more harm than
good. It is great secret in most toilet
p! operations to use them while fresh.
There is a most delightful cream which
works veritable wonders if employed
as soon as it is made and never after
it has been mixed more than a week
or SO. Blanch for the purpose four
ounces of sweet almonds and pound
them till they are quite smooth, add
the yolks OF three eggs and mix with
fresh milk or cream boil as you would
a custard, stirring all the time, and re-
move as soon as it thickens; then add
the perfume you prefer. Seal while hot.

time for devoting just little while to
the care of the complexion and hands.

more should be taken. 1t would else

the blouse of lace, whether the belt be

it's worth it. Select a yellow Philadel-
pnia fowl weighing four or five pounds;
clean carefully, SINCE, and put it on in

grow tender. Save this broth With the
giblets. Now cut the chicken in small

fat pork very thin, and fry it with the
chicken until it is brown. After the

We're not altogether foolish. They had
a big deal on in Philadelphia which
was also building a city hall and in
some way their success there depended
on their placing an order here. So
they practically gave us the clock,
delphia paid for their own and ours
too, and pretty literally at that" AS
one looks at the clock tower one notices
the Sits in the face. They look to
him like pencil marks. They are really
big enough for man to walk thru. The
columns which decorate this portion of
the tower look like pretty fair sized
pieces Of stone One would probably
guess them to be a foot in diameter
and about eight or ten feet long. They
are four feet six inches in diameter
and fourteen feet long. The flagstaff
looks like a cane. It was fairly ro-

lie has been in doubt whether it would
be safe to compliment them until all
the facts came out. Then it ought to

Altho the courthouse has but one in
terror point, the grand entrance, where
decoration has been used with anything
approaching lavishness, yet there are
many unusual features. The architec-
tural triumph is the magnificent tower
which rises on Fourth, Street $40 feet
into the air and which is topped by a
flag pole ffty-fve feet in height, MAX
ing an. even 400 feet from the ground
to the ball at the top Of the staff. AS
the towers also extend some forty feet
below the street level, it is easy to see
that they have been built to stay, A
bit of curious interest about the con-
struction of the towers is that after
the original plans were drawn indicat-

The excavation, 307 feet by 307 feet
and 80 feet deep, which was under
taken in 1888, showed that there would
be no courthouse for the small sum
mentioned. The hole in the ground
cost $51 1000. The next year the con-
tract was let for the endorsement for
$l5O,O00. Business was beginning to
boom on the big site, and when, late
in the same year, the contract was
given for the basement and the story
above the basement for $245,OOO, It
was apparent that the commissioners
had taken the Job seriously in hand
Of cost.
In 1891, when active work had been
going on for nearly three years, the
contract for the first and second sto-
ries was let to James Baxter for
$341,000.
Later the same builder got the con-
tract for the rest Of the walls, includ-
ing those for the towers, at total of
$A2O,oO0. There is about half a mil
lion dollars worth of Ortonville gran
ite in the courthouse. All the rest of
it is Milwaukee cream brick, marble
and iron. There is very little sign of
wood anywhere about the structure.
