ABOUT An Original Jewel. Mere diamonds and rubies and pearls are nothing to bo proud of in this age of ori?;nality. One's jewels must be odd to merit any attention from the connoisseur A playful and pretty con ceit for a brooch is three pink moon stones in r. row. On each stone is cut the jolly, sleepy face of a fat baby moon. On each bald head is a cap of diamonds, tying under the chin with a diamond bow. White Tor Thin Women. A well known portrait painter ad vises women when posing for a photo graph to wear black at the neck, as It gives a fuller effect and in the case of a very slender sitter greatly en hances the beauty of the throat The same artist advises thin women to wear white as much as possible, as it makes their slenderness less apparent. He says the reason why some women appear to bloom out in summer time from comparative insignificance is be cause so many white fabrics, such as starched muslins, piques and the like are worn. A Traveling Librarian. A new way to earn money has been discovered by a Minneapolis woman, who has constituted herself a travel ing librarian, organizing and catalog ing libraries wherever she finds a de mand for her work. Her experience tiius far leads her to the conclusion that this work will offer large oppor tunities to women. She says that to bri successful as a library organizer it is necessary to have, in addition to the regular library training a thorough knowledge of bookkeeping, and ability to read French and German. She fre quently spends weeks or even months on a single engagement Spangled Hands and Feet. Stockings and gloves embroidered In silver and colored spangles are to be had if one's tastes run to glittering dress accessories. A black or a pale green stocking with a dark green ser pent embroidered on the instep, the body twisting around the ankle and up the leg, is enough to give most wem en the creeps. For stage purposes these eccentricities doubtless have their uses, but the average woman is con tent to gaze, shudder and pass on. Suede gloves with insertions of lace or designs in embroidery upon them looking rather well on slim hands and black evening gloves brilliantly em broidered with silver are certainly os tentatious, but one can imagine them and a small, sparkling fan. Proper Dregs for Children. No persons need more careful cloth ing than infants and children. In them tho body surface is relatively large and their heat producing pow ers are feeble. For this reason they need to be covered up as much as pos sible, with loose, light clothing, so that the natural movements of their bodies may have full play. When pos sible the undergarments should be of wool; the prevalent idea that children should be thinly clothed, with more or less bare limbs, so that they may be come hardened, is contrary to all phy siological teaching and absolutely crueL On the other hand, unnecessary swathing of children in wraps and comforters is to be deprecated, and it does equal harm in the other direction by rendering them tender and pecu liarly susceptible to chills.-American Queen. Childhood of Jenny Lind. Jenny Lind was baptized as Johanna Lindborg. The nickname by which she became famous was given her in her childhood. Her mother lived in two different tenements in Stockholm, No. 43 Jakobsbergsgatan and No. 32 Mas tersamuelgatan, while she was an in fant, and it is not definitely known in which she was born. Both claim the honor, but the weight of evidence seems to favor the former, which is in a short street in the manufacturing section of the city and mostly occupied by artisans of various sorts. The oth er place is on a better street near the centre of the manufacturing section. A Mr. Lindhahl, who holds a posi tion in the royal library here, has au Interesting collection of letters and documents relating to the early life of Jenny Lind. He has certified copies of the record of her birth and christen ing and the proceedings of the court, which, when she was 14 years of age, decided that her parents were unfit persona to have charge of her and ap pointed the director of the Opera House as her guardian. He also has a num ber of autograph letters written wheu she was a child and afterward when she was a young woman in Paris stu Jy Ing with Mme. Garcia.-Chicago Rec ord-Herald. The Umbrella of Fashion. For the present the smart umbrella is exceedingly small, with a case*in the same shade as the silk. At one time lt was feared that we should adopt leather cases, heavy, ugly things that had nothing to recommend them but novelty, but good sense and taste have como to the rescue. The favorite coloring for the silk is in very dark shot taffetas where the black tint pre dominates; in fact'we must guess at the warm coloring beneath the black more than really define it. The frame ls in steel, very light and burnished, but without the slightest attempt at varnish. The stick is composed sim ply of well polished wood without any ornament, either at the handle or the point Even the pointed piece of metal at the tip ls suppressed. It is, there fore, necessary to find the nature of wood that meets all the requirements of solidity and suppleness. From New Caledonia and Australia some of the finest are imported, but the French makers have a preference for their own growth, as they say that the coloring is richer and more varied in graduated tones. For the winter, therefore, fash ion dictates small umbrellas with plain wooden sticks, with no ornamentation. Neither the perforated rings nor mon ograms in gold are considered in good taste this year. The only difference between a gentleman's or a lady's um brella is in the size of the covering and the length and thickness of the stick.-New York Commercial Adver tiser. For the Homo Dressmaker. To renovate rr not to renovate is a question to be considered from this point-namely, whether 'tis better to have a new gown or to send a really good frock and half the cost of a new one and have it returned in all re spects as a new toilet One's intimate friends will no doubt recognize the gown, but in all other ways it practi cally takes its place as a new gown. A good black dress invariably pays for renovating, but all queer and un common shapes, either in skirt or bod ice, are best left alone unless the ma terial can be matched or is of the type allowing for combination. Many bodices of the seamless or stretched order can be turned into smart bole ros, and then, with a new vest and trimming, it is practically a different : garment Trimming taken from a bodice will often make a smart vest, and even a .narrow vest and collar of good lace can be used with side revers of velvet or silk or waa cascades of lace or even frills falling forward and con nected by straps of velvet across the centre of lace. Tucked vests or plas trons of silk can be sponged with ben zoline. Mounted as vests and deco rated with some incrustations of lace in sprays or bows or strapped across the top In yoke fashion they are hand some. There are many garments useful for country and seaside wear which can be smartened and brought up to date at a very moderate expense, but they should bo originally of good quality and cut, or they are not worth the trouble and expense of alteration. An old fashioned coat and skirt can be remade into a smart custome with about one and a half yards of new cloth to match. The skirt must be made into a tight top part fitting a shaped flounce, and the remainder and the new cloth will make the shaped flounce. If there is no new clo?. . a black, blue or brown cloth can be made with a separate flounce of another color, such as white, fawn, gray, etc., and then covered with stitched tucks or straps of alternate cloth and military braid, leaving only tiny lines of the light color between. The old-fashioned basque coat cuts into a smart bolero to the waist, and the neck can be fin ished with a big collar.-Washington Star. Women In Business. Thc remark is ouen made that wom en known nothing of business. In re gard to a large majority of women whose business it is to engineer happj homes this statement is untrue. It is also unjust to thousands of sensible women who are necessarily compelled to take care of themselves and their families, and who have ably demon strated that they are capable of doing so with as much shrewdness and wis dom as men who are their peers. The mass of women show no business knowledge in the methods of earning money, because there is some one to earn money for them, and to them is ?;lven the province of home. Women are likely to be contented with the care of the home so long as the support of the family ls undertaken by men whose natural province it is When it becomes a woman's place to enter tho business world she has in thousands of instances demonstrated that she has as keen wit as a man and is as capable of receiving training in business. Hundreds and thousands of women have demonstrated their ability to com pete in the business world, not as mere wage earners, but as financiers. These women know something of business, though undoubtedly they labored at first under the disadvantage of being considered women who know nothing ot it. Numberless women's exchanges have appeared in recent years in the larger cities, and these business enterprises have generally propered. In the state of Massachusetts alone, in 1885, there were 305 women who were farmers. These young women possess the disad vantage of being phyically weaker and less capable of outdoor work than their brothers should be, yet in spite of this the records show that women have thrived in this occupation as well as their husbands and fathers did. In matters of business habits men are often found wanting. Nineteenth century exprience shows that women who have entered the business world .are, as a rule, more conservative than men. They do not often do brilliant things in business, because they do not hazard so much. Instances of sen sible business women who risk their all on chance gains are not large, though there are thousands of half educated women, inexperienced as chil dren, who are victimized by charlatans just as men brought up in a similar manner would be. The cases of swin dling of men are almost as common as those of women. There is reason tc believe that among the thousands of wage earning women in the land it is rare to find one who persistently speculates, though business women have opportunity to spend money in this way.-New York Tribune. ^BENEFIT Black chantilly lace is again becom ing fashionable and is most effective worn over white. Low flat hats, worn forward over the face and trimmed with ostrich plumes are all the rage. The exaggerated long pointed waist in front is a thing of the past Just a slight elongation is stylish. The latest imported French lingerie shows all the seams joined by narrow beading instead of being sewed as seams. Half and three-quarter length coats are the fashion, and made severely plain with strapped seams are im mensely smart. Flowers appear upon the pearl sticks of fans, the pearl being carved at the sides to outline the edges of the petals and the leaves and flowers, themselves of the precious metals, be ing put on with exquisite skill. Gloves for the elbow-sleeved gown are shown with lacing of gold or sil ver cord from wrist to elbow on the outer seam. The same thing is seen in shoulder length gloves and the lac ing is not only decorative but also use ful in fitting the glove to the arm and keeping it in place. Women's pajamas are one of the nov elties of the day. They are made up in fancy and figured nainsook. Some of the materials are particularly at tractive being sprinkled all over with tiny silk figures. The pajamas seen thus far are mostly imported, but it is expected that patterns of American make will soon appear. The new shaped toques with brims turning up on each side are to be ex tremely fashionable. Twisted cords of chenille are used generally as a trim ming, as is also heavy velvet cording to adorn the upturned parts of the brim. Little toques of gathered vel vet are likewise much in vogue, and to some faces these are wonderfully be coming. ONS MAN'S LUCK. Stoorod Into a Junior Partnership by l, Chanca Gust of Wind. "Speaking of taking in partners," said a downtown business man, "our junior was, you might say, blown in on us, and I saw him started in our direc tion, though I had no idea of it at the time. "Going downtown one summer morning on a Ninth avenue elevated train, I saw sitting opposite to me a young man who caught my fancy, a substantial, earnest, straightforward looking chap, whose looks I liked first rate. He was reading a paper; and presently he tore off from tras"* paper an advertisement leaf that he didn't want and threw it out of the window, or tried to, for as a matter of fact it didn't go out. A gust of wind with just the right twist to it came along at just that moment and blew trie pa per hack, to fall on a vacant seat next to him. "And as it fell something in it caught his eye, and he picked up that part which he had just been trying to throw away and began earnestly to read it, and ended up by folding it carefully and putting it in his pocket. "About four minutes after Fd got in here this morning this same young man walks in and applies for a place that we had been waiting for somebody to fill? Our advertisement for a man for it wa3 in that paper which I had seen this young man try to throw away, and which a gust of wind by one chance in a million or more, had blown back upon him and in such a manner as to fix his attention. "As a matter of fact I hadn't liked thc young man's act of throwing the paper out of an elevated car window; a paper floating down and around as that would do might frighten horses and lead to no end of trouble and lots of damage, but no one man thinks about everything, and he'd learn better about this, I knew, and so as a matter of fact I took this young man on the spot, on my first impressions of him. He far more than made good and in due course of time he came into his junior partnership, literally . and truly blown into it. "Sort o' queer, eh?"-New York Sun. MOUNTAIN MOTORING. Mountain motoring does not seem to be a promising form of locomotion, but the restless mountaineer has im pressed into his service the new vehi cle.

The very newest idea In leather decoration is an entire mantel in a rich shade of green, which was ar ranged for a Long Island woman who was dissatisfied with the ugly mantel in the dining room of her country home and was advised to try the effect o? hiding the disfiguring projection with leather. The result was a com plete success and several of her friends have followed her example to the ex tent of having leather mantel drapery, if not entirely encasing the chimney corner. For an Indian room or a den a hanging of leather in a rich vermil ion tone, with an Indian's head skil fully etched on it, lends a decidedly bright bit of color. Something About Starch. It sounds contradictory to advise making cold starch with hot water; but those who have once tried it find its results most satisfactory. This does not necessarily mean that the water must be boiling hot, but comfortably warm Starch made in this way works much better than that made with cold water. A little salt added to cold starch is an improvement, preventing it from stick ing to the iron. It is always better to let clothes re main rolled some time after starching them, as they will then iron much better. If after these precautions you find the starch inclined to stick to the iron, it is because it is too stiff. The Ladies' World. Thc Cleansing Ball. The following is an excellent cleans ing bal) to prepare for use on clothes and woolen fabrics generally/? says What to Eat. Dissolve a bit of white soap the size of an egg, in enough al cohol to cover it. Mix in the yolks of three eggs and a tablespoonful of oil of turpentine. Work in fuller's earth till it becomes stiff enough to form into balls and let them dry. When you wish to remove a stain moisten the fabric with a little water, rub the ball well in, let it dry and brush off the powder. Tnere are three classes of stains these balls cannot remove-ink, iron rust and fruit stains. For ink, pour over milk, and as it becomes dis colored absorb it with blotting paper. Then wash out well with tepid water and castile soap. If on white goods, lemon juice and common salt, often re newed and placed in the sun, are most efficient. A Stitch in Time. All housekeepers who look well to the ways of their households appreci ate the value of a stitch in time. The principle inculcated by the proverb may be carried to all departments of the house. The household belongings which are kept continually in order by bung mended as soon as they need mending cannct suddenly give out and need to be replaced. Prudent house keepers keep a pot of glue ready to be melted when needed, a cement bottle for china ,and once a month or once a week, as it may be convenient, they repair breakages in china or in furni ture. It is more trouble to learn to use a soldering iron, but this can be done, and when necessary a hole in tinware or in almost any commoit-jnet al can be mended. Usually all that is necessary is to stop a leak in time, so it will grow no larger. It is an excellent practice to keep a list of everything about the house that has gone awry, and every six months at least, if not oftener, see that it is made right. The best time is just after the spring and fall housecleaning. If this is done the house can be easily kept in order, and at much less cost than when every repair needed is left until it has become necessary to the comfort of the home that-it.should be attended to.-New York Tribune. RSCiPsS Orange Sauce-Cream one-half cup ful of butter. Mix one saltspoon of salt, naif a saltspoonful of paprika, four tablespoonfuls of orange juice, one ta blespoonful of lemon juice and one half cupful of water; stir into the well beaten yolks of two eggs and cook over hot water, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth. Add the creamed butter and serve at once. Lemon Rice-Boil sufficient rice in milk till soft, sweeten to taste, then pour into a mould to cool. Peel a lemon very thick, cut the peel into half-inch lengths, cover with water, boil for a few minutes, pour off water, ccver with a cupful of fresh water, add juice, and sugar to sweeten, then stew gently for two hours, after which allow to cool, when it will be a thick syrup. Turn the rice into a glass dish and pour the syrup over it Sweet Potato Fri tee-Boil three me dium sized sweet potatoes with their skins on until done, then remove the skin and cut each in half; place them in a shallow baking dish with a tea spoonful melted butter over each one, sprinkle with sugar and set in tho oven to bake until they have obtained a fine golden brown color. Salt is omitted, as some do not wish It withj the sugar; a half teaspoonful, how ever, sprinkled evenly over the hot po tatoes as soon as they are peeled will remove all flat taste. Preserved Pears-Peel, halve and core six pounds of pears, dropping at once into cold water to keep from dis coloring. Put in a preserving kettle four pounds of sugar, two cupfuls of water, the juice of two lemons and rind of one cut in strips and an ounce of ginger root.

Hot Tongue with Tomato Sauce Have the tongue cooking early, for it can be skinned and put in a steamer to be kept hot if it gets done before it is wanted.

When people gather greatly together there arc sure to be things lost, says the Paris Messenger. The Bctheny review, on the occasion of the visit of thc Czar, was no exception to thc rule. No sooner was the review ended than a huge quan tity of articles of all kinds was picked up by the authorities and placed in the keeping of thc officers at Reims. Thc collection is of the oddest. Something of everything is included; many things, evidently, will never bc claimed; old um brellas, empty bags and empty purses; there was also a corset Then there were again two handsome stem-winding watches. There is another side to the question. People have sent in a description of things lost. One is of a splendid sword scabbard, belonging to an Algerian Caid, which was in chiseled silver. What complicates things is that the scabbard was found and claimed. The chagrin of the dusky African may bc imagined. In any case he has offered a handsome re ward to him who returns his scabbard. FIRST FEARS ALLAYED. Suddenly a pale, agitated woman ap peared before the genial landlord. "Sir," she exclaimed, "there are strange noises in my room.
