Fand-embroidered tops for chemises
and nightgowns may be bought at
comparatively little cost, to be at
tached to the main part of the gar
ment, which may be made at home
This is quite an innovation. but one
likely to be very profitable, for, in
buying a ready-made- chemise, fer in.
stance, it is almost sure to be too long
or in some way unsatisfactory, and
the same maN be said Of a n.ghtgowa.
If just the hand-embroidered yoke Is
bought, however, and the rest Of the
gown made at home, the material will
surely be more carefully selected and
the garment may be made to exactly
fit. The hand Embroidered yokes are
attached to the skirt Of the garment
BY means Of some beading or yalen,
ciennes lace insertion, or it might be
done with little bit Of narrow real

Character Mods the Face.

It is not in words applicable with
what divine lines and lights the exer-
else of godliness and charity will mold
and gid the hardest and coolest coun-
tenance, neither to what darkness
their departure will consign the love
lest. For there is not any virtue the
exercise of which, even momentarily,
will not impress a new fairness upon
the features; neither on them only,
but on the whole body the moral and
intellectual faculties have operation,
for all the movements and gestures,
however slight, are different in their
modes according to the mind that gov
ems them-and on the gentleness and
decision of right feeling follows grace
of actions, and through continuance
of this, grace of form.-John Ruskin.
