A strong feeling against certain ne gro residents of Carlisle resulted in their being requested to leave town. a short time ago.

WHEN THERE IS NO MAID.
How to Have a Successful Dinner Party When Hostess Must Pre-
 pare and Serve.

Plan tie meal beforehand with di- rect reference 10 making d minimum of cooking and serving at the last momeE-. First select such dishes as can be prepared wholly or in part some time before the neal. Set the table rel.-y for the first course and, if it ia warm weather. the windows open and a strong breeze with much dust, throw over all a cover made of several breadths of cheese cloth. Se- lect the china, glass and silver for the various courses and arrange on putting the set for each course by it. self In the kitchen put a table as near to the communicating door as possible; keep half of it clear to re- ceive the soiled dishes. On the other end place the platters, etc. on which to dish up the hot food. When the meal time arrives put the first course on the table before asking your guests into the dining room. When it is fin ished they will, presumably, be deep in conversation while you are em- poyed in changing the dishes. Hay ing everything in readiness this will take but a few moments and you can resume your seat. When there is no host to do the honors 1t will relieve you if you are at liberty to ask one or more of the guests to serve certain dishes.-Chicago Chronicle.

KgOUT TIE NEW DRESSES.
The Emt:r Styles Lead, with Them Are Worn Pretty Little Goats
 and Broad S<shes.

Much speculation has been rife in Paris as to the lines to be adopted in the coming season for the new dresses. Rumor said return to the frills of 1870 Was imminent, but no one could speak with certainty, since the leading dressmakers declined to give the slightest hint as to the styles ia rrep- aration. Now, at last. your correspon- dent has been by special favor allowed a glance at the models which are to be displayed to customers from all parts of the world. And let it be said aE once that the majority of gowns will be constructed on Empire lines. Small boleros, clasping the bust closely, and bound to the figure by folded satin sashes. or pieces Of wondrous embroid- cry, will play leading role on both day and evening dresses. From under this folded sash, which runs up high at the back, the skirt will fall in graceful lines. Across the front of the bodice good deal of padding is used to give the straight. square look to the bust which is essential for success.
 In cloth gowns, of coat and skirt type, there is quaint adaptation of this Empire idea. The very short bo- lero of last autumn has loose basque added to it, which falls away from the figure beneath the arms and descends 10 the waist-line. Beneath this coat the skirt rises high over the bust. end- ing sometimes with straps over the shoulder.
 Of blouses there are neae. Their place is taken by the elegant lace guimDes which finish the Empire gowns. Pine and beautiful 1aces arc used for these. and any bits of good lace can be brought into use With a little bib=saaped piece of Irish lace forming the middle of the front of the bodice, straight lapels of the same lace can De placed on the sleeve. running down the middle, the material used for the gown forming lightly draped pufs on either side.-N Y Tribune

Cleaning Carpets.

Carpets should be taken up, and if not cleansed professionally should be beaten. well brushed and hung out of doors to freshen the eolors. When re- laying carpets T layer of felt should be placed below them This serves the double purpose of wear and tear and of economy sheets of brown paper may be used instead of felt, and make an admirable substitute. If the colors of the carpet are dull they may be bright ened by rubbing it over with a flannel cloth wrung from water mixed with a little mm3nia.
