TRIMMINGS OF NEW LINGERIE.
wash Ribbon AttractiveIy Arranged
Has Good Effect.

Some of the new lingeriesis trimmed
with rows of wash ribbon in pink or
light blue so arranged that they are
sandwiched between two rows of val
enciennes insertion. A nightgown, for
instance, would be finished with a
pointed yoke of alternating lace and
ribbon, finished at top with merely a
narrow beading, with a very small
bow of ribbon to match. 1t gives the
effect of great quantity of graceful
color while in reality the material is
very little and the work is very easy.
A corset cover could, of course, be
made on the same principle, although
1t is better not to use quite so much
ribbon on one of those minute gar.
ments, because it shows too much
through the sheer waists of summer.
Petticoats, however, might be finished
with a ruftie of wide lace and ribbon,
and the effect would be quite magnifi-
cent, particularly if Dresden ribbon be
used.
One of the chief advantages in
using ribbon in combination with lace
insertion is that the edges may be
left as they are, while, if bands of the
material are used instead, the edges
must be rolled-a feat which requires
an expert, and which prevents the
work being done on the sewing ma.
chine.

Enqauement Gift.

Hand-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 buy.
ing a ready-made chemise, for in.
stance, it is almost sure to be too long
or in some way unsatisfactory, and the
same may be said of a nightgown.
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 valen-
ciennes lace insertion, or it might be
done with little bit of narrow real
lace.
These detached yokes make ideal
gifts for prospective brides, or they
may be carefully saved and made up
at some future time into really hand.

Referring to the report of the in.

that he was stationed there part OF
the time in the winter of 1863-64.
There was at that time large number
confined, he thinks about $4,000; the
grounds were large and well drained,
and the prisoners housed in tents such
as our officers used. They were well
and warmly dressed and to all appear
ances well fed. The hospital was clean
and well administered. During that
time Gen. Butler came on a visit oil
inspection and rode into the stockade
The prisoners crowded around him un
til they stopped his progress. After
looking them over he said to them:

"oLD GLORY"
The Name Was First Given the Flag
by the Volunteers in Mexico.

The question often is asked: How
did our national flag come by the now
universal appellation of "Old Glory?'
An old soldier in the National Tribune
says on this point: 1T is desirable to
state July 4, 1876, the First Ohio vol
unteers, at1oat on the Mississippi,
bound for Mexico, honored the day
with much enthusiasm. Among those
called upon for addresses was the
gifted and eloquent Brig. Gen. Thomas
l.. Hamer, who was particularly eu-
logistic of the glorious banner of
freedom Amid the great applause
aroused an enthusiastic son of Old
Erin impulsively exclaimed, 'Hurrah
for Ould Glory This caught popular
fancy and was afterward heard amid
many battle scenes"

verses printed below, from Capt.

Diet for Thin Girl.

There are many, many thin girls
who long to be plump and round and
who could be if they would follow a
good diet. A simple diet which will
help the good cause is, for breakfast:
Cereal, with plenty of rich cream,
fruits which contain no acids, eggs
and potatoes cooked any way except
lsied.
Milk should be substituted for tea
or coffee. In the forenoon a glass OF
warm milk with wee pinch Of salt in
1t will be of great benefit. She may
also drink a glass OF milk prepared in
this way in the afternoon and at night
before going to bed.
Starchy vegetables, such as sweet
and white potatoes, peas, corn, beans
and rice, thick cream soups. macaroni
and sphagetti are all fattening and
should be eaten by the thin girl. She
should not eat acid fruits, but ba-
nanas, peaches, grapes, melons, baked
apples, and figs and dates are to be in
cluded in her diet. Pickles, olives. vim
egar and the like abe must let alone.
Deep dOunces OF white embroidered
muslin, gathered OF plated into !
binding can be bought ready to but.
