Lightcoiored gowns are
lor the inter-season this year, con
'trary to the custom of the last twenty
years, when black toilettes formed the
majority. At present all black is worn
only for mounting, and colors, espe
cially light tints prevail. The beige or
natural wooHints are in great favor,
and are also much used as grounds
for large pastilles of a contrasting
color. Emerald or myrtle green or
blue pastilles occur on beige or gray
grounds and similarly there g,re old
blue grounds with red or golden brown
wafers, and other contrasts. Wool
lens with shaded stripes come not only
in a single color, but in shades of sev
eral colors, and in both wide and
narrow stripes. Surah de laine,
is as soft and al
the silken fabric,
fabrics for. the
spring season are Alma serges, mous
selines de laine, crepe de laine, Pom
padour-striped veilings, crinkled veil
ings. Some of the new canvas veilings
or grenadines are edged with a narrow
silk fringe in colors. Among colors
there is a decided preference for blue
£,of all shades. Parma violet is tash
ionable, several lilac shades, and
gjf^gns, more particular a dull leaf
gi&en and'emerald. India is anew
shade approximating to prune. Light
weight cloth dresses in light tints are
extremely popular, and are frequent
ly accompanied by a long cape of the
same cloth. For street dresses these
have very little trimming, possibly
only a narrow edge or cache-point of
gimp
or wool surah,
most as light as
Other notable
Spring wraps are in readiness to be
brought to fight at the first rise in
temperature. Capes of all kinds will be
worn rather long, extending six or
eight inches below the waist. A Suede
colored cape, being neutral, can be
worn with a variety of dresses.
A pretty and typical spring toilette
is of surah de laine of the new Indian
shade. The straight skirt is notched
at the foot, the notches resting against
a flounce of silk of the same shade.
The cuirass corsage is laced under the
arms and trimmed at its lower edge
with loops of silk. Encircling the
waist is an Isabel girdle of old silver
incrusted with jewels. Flat skirts
have usually some trimming at the
foot. The short train is preserved,
and indeed it is graceful, but for
streets its grace is more than counter
balanced by itsincouvenience. Those
who prefer the round skirt, or who
refuse to be burdened in the street by
holding up the dress in the hand, or
by means of a skirt lifter, wear the
round skirt. This is made on a foun
dation skirt when there are pleats or
trimmings to support.
A visiting gown is of pale gray rep
ped silk, with sleeves, vest, and skirt
front of white faced cloth studded with
steel nail-heads. This beautiful gown
has a long coat, slashed iii the back,
and edged with narrow steel galloon.
The fronts of the coat roll back, and
are trimmed with wide steel passe
menterie. A Medici collar of white
cloth is nearly covered with passe
menterie. The side breadths of the
skirt fold forward on an inlaid front
breadth of white cloth, and are edged
with narrow steel gimp.
Mothers as Match-makers.
There is a kind of match-making
which it is a mother's duty to attempt,
writes Amelia E. Barr, in The Ladies'
^lome- Journal. But it has strict
limitations. It resolves itself into the
simple duty of introducing to her
daughter young men whose moral
character is good, who are in a posi
tion to marry, and who, physically,
are not likely to repel her. The young
people may then safely be left to their
own instincts. There should be no
attempt to
coerce no moral force used
to make even a suitable marriage
though extremities may lawfully be
used to prevent an evil marriage. A
mother's match-making really begins
while her daughter's education is in
progress. And it is one of the strangest
of facts, that mothers generally force
this education in the direction of those
qualities likely to amuse young men—
music, dancing, singing, dressing, play
ing games, chaffing wittily, etc. Now,
such attractions are likely to procure
plenty of flirtation but young men
rarely marry the girls they flirt with.
And why do not mothers consider,
most of all, that approaching period
in their daughters' lives when they will,
or ought to, cease being made love to?
Why should the preparation for young
.ladyhood absorb all the girl's educa
tion? How many curriculums contain
.any arrangement for education for
wifehood or parenthood? Yet, what
•man wishes to pass his life with a
woman whose only charm is the power
to amuse him? He might as wisely
•dine every day upon candy sugar.
Dish Washing Made Nloe.
While we are on this vulgar, but
imost highly respectable topic, let me
•eay to those ladies \w.ho do themselves
t£he honor of attending to their own
housework, and consequently have it
done by ladies as to ladies' taste, that
thane is no need of spoiling hands by
lewer so much dish washing if the right
caress taken. It iatibescalding water,

qnd. care are generally, more requisite
that skill. If the cu$::be extensile* o£
ah artery, vein or any- other impor
tant part be injured, it becdmes a
more urgent matter. Accidental cuts
from knives, cutting tools, scythes, Ac.
are more likely to occur on the face
and limbs than on the body. All that
is requisite in general, is to bring the
parts together as accurately as possble
and to bind them up: this is usually
done by adhesive plaster, when the
cut ceases ^to bleed. Nothing Is so
good for this purpose us paper previ
ously washed over on one side with
thick gum-water, and then dried
when used it is only to be slightly
wetted with the tongue. When the
cut bleeds but little, it is well to soak
the part in varni water for a few
minutes, or to keep a wet cloth on it.
This removes inflammation and pain,
and also a tendency to fainting, which
a cut gives some persons. If the bleed
ing be too copious, dab the part with
a rag wetted with creosote. If the
wound be large, it should be sewed up.
If the blood that issues be very scarlet,
it may be concluded that an artery
has been touched, and then, whenever
the bleeding cannot be stopped, medi
cal aid must be procured the best
method to pursure, is to bind up the
wound tightly or to hold a finger
strongly against the part that bleeds.
Don't Scold,
Mothers, don't scold. You can be
firm without scolding your children
you can reprove them for their faults
you can punish them when necessary,
but don't get into the habit of scold
ing them. It does them no good.
They soon become so accustomed to
fault finding and sdolding that they
pay no attention to it. Or, which
often happens, they grow hardened
and reckless in consequence of it.
Many a naturally good disposition
is ruined by constant scolding, and
many a child is driven to seek evil
associates because there is no peace
at home. Mothers, with their many
cares and perplexities, o^ten fall into
the habit unconsciously but it is a
sad habit for them and their children.
Watch yourselves and don't indulge
in this unfortunate and often uninten
tional manner of addressing your
children. Watch even the tones of
your voice, and above all watch your
hearts for we have divine authority
for saying that "out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speakcth."—

Mrs. Langtry's Pincushion.
One of the most marvelous pincush
ions belongs to Mrs. Langtry. It is a
silver framing that in years gone by,
when Ireland claimed kings, held the
wooden-bowl in which the steaming
hot potatoes were brought on the
table to delight royalty. It was found
tarnished and dark in an old shop in
Dublin, bought for a small sum, clean
ed up, and now the centre is filled
with a fat, blue velvet cushion, in
which are stuck pins, little and big,
black and white, and of -all sizes and
sharpness.—The Ladies Home Jour

Told In thai Dark.
Leo was in bed. He had said, "Now
I lay me," then he had asked his
mother to turn down the light.
Leo was a very lion
xto
face all out­
side foes. He was hot so brave when
face to face with the little Knight of
Right within him. That was what
mother called his conscience—the lit
tle Knight of Right.
Mother knew what it meant when
Leo asked to have the light turned
out she sat down on the bed, took
Leo's hand, and said in a tender en
couraging way:
"Tell mother all about it.'K
Leo lay very still for some minutes,
then he burst out in a boy'sway right
in the middle of the story:
"P'r'aps you'll think 'twasn't so—
an' I don't knOw as I'd b'lieve it my
self only I saw them with my own
eyes—I did, mother! an' you'll say yes
won't you mother? I couldn't help it,
really I couldn't—an' she's down in
the kitchen!"
Mother smiled. She stroked the
little brown fist. She spoke gently:
"What was the strange sight, and
who is 'she?'
"Well, it was this way. We boys
were coming from skating, just dark,
an' a cat scatted across the road, an'
all the fellows snowballed her—I did
too, mother—an' she tried to squirm
through a picket fence an' got caught
a,n' couldn get through, or back
either, an' all the boys yelled—an'
that very minute the East enders fired
on us from over the wall, an' we had
a regular fight, an' drove 'ein all the
way back, just like the Minute Men
that time at Lexington.
"Then it was dark, an' I came home
from the corner alone. An' along in
the pine .woods—this is true, mother,
'tis, I sa\v it with my own eyes—I saw
that kit's face in the dark, in the air
—an' lots of other kittens' faces—the
dark was full of them, an' all the eyes
looked at me so beggin'-like! I was so
sorry—an'—a little bit afraid too—
an' I just started an' run."
"Did you leave the kitten faces be
hind when you ran home?" asked
mother.
"I didn't run home—I—I run back
the road to where we snow-balled the
kit an' there she was, stuck fast in
the fence, an' mewin' just awful—an' I
got her out an' brought her home, an'
—an'—she's down in the kitchen now!"
The little brown fingers squirmed'
around mother's, he went on doubt
fully, "An' you will say yes, won't you,
mother? I couldn't help it—I really
couldn't mother—an' we've only three
other kits, you know—only three,
mother!"
Mother lifted the little brown fist
and kissed it. "We will take care of
her somehow," she said.
Leo. was very still for the next min
ute or two, then he suddenly asked:
"But the fat es, mother, the kittens'
faces in the dark—liow came they
there? Such a many kits' faces—and
such eyes!"
Mother kissed Leo again, this time
on his red lips, "as she replied: "Per
haps it was the doing of the little
Knight of Right!"—Charles Stuart

"Our Little Dot."
A writer in the New York Sun de
scribes a scene which he witnessed late
one evening, in the streets of St. Louis.
A croup of gamins were hanging about
an old gray-haired woman, shabbily
dressed who carried a large package
under her arm. The writer of the
sketch followed, thinking to say some
thing at the right moment.
The boys were jeering, and the wom
an was begging to be let alone. By
and by she sat down on a doorstep.
Then the young Arabs gathered
thickly about her.
"Give us a song, old woman!"
"If you'll dance us a jig, we'll let vou
off!"
"Open that bundle and let's see
what you've got!"
When there was a moment of silence
she replied:
"Boys, come closer round me. I've
got something here to show you
They crowded up to her, and she re

held it up before them.

OI:B LITTLE DOT
DIED OCT. 17TH, 1886.
It was the headstone for a child's
grave—such a headstone as only the
poor and lowly erect over the grave
of a loved one. Out of pity for her
poverty and sorrow, the painter may
nave done the work for nothing.

read for himself he turned and vanish

To Young Writers.
On Victor Hugo's birthday it was
for many years the custom in France
to send him flowers. They came in
baskets, in bouquets, in poor little
bunches tied with grass, in -costly
masses.
The old poet declared that heoould
tell which were bought at the shops,
and which had planted and tended
them.
"That manificent lily," he would
say, "might be bought at any florist's
shop. It means nothing but the
money which paid for it. But that
bunch of herbs could grow only on the
Garonne, and that blue star-flower
can be found nowhere but in Nor
mandy.
-"'They have an individual flavor.
They speak to me the peculiar lan
guage ot their place and people. They
alone have real value.''
There is for young contributors a
wise and significant suggestion in this
remark of the great poet.
Eyery editor receives contributions
which, like the odorless, common lily
might have come from any person or
place. Tbey are usually correct,

The Heroism of a Child,
In the Bodleain Library at Oxford
is a most touching record of heroism
and self sacrifice on the part of a child.
The lower door of St. Leonard's
Church, Bridgeworth, was left open,
and two young boys, wandering in,
were tempted to mount to the upper
ptfrt, and scramble from beam to
beam:
All at once a joist gave way. The
beam on which they were standing be
came displaced. The elder had just
time to grasp it when falling, while the
younger, slipping over his body, caught
hold of his comrade's legs. In this
fearful ^position the poor lads hung,
crying vainly for help, for no one was
near.
At length the boy clinging to the beam
becameexhausted. Hecould no longer
support the couble weight. He called
out to the lad below that they were
both done for.
"Could you save yourself if I were
to loose you," replied the younger
lad.
"Ithink I could," returned the elder.
"Then good-by.and God bless you!"
said the little fellow, loosing his'hold.
Another second and he was dashed
to pieces on the stone floor below.
His companion clambered to aplace
of safety.—Chatterbox for March.
A Chinese Easter Egg.
"Only one Easter egg," said Gracie,
in a disappointed tone, "and 1 know
I've hunted everywhere! On my birth
day, too! Only just one!"
She sat down by the bay-window to
look at it, and all at once she saw
that it wasn't a common egg at all.
Then she looked very close indeed,
and saw what seemed to be a crack,
only it was perfectly straight, and
reached all the way around the egg.
She pulled gently at the two halves,
and they came apart—and out rolled
another egg, just like the first, only a
shade smaller.
She put the halves together again,
and thenshehadtwoeggs. She puked
lip the second one, and found that it
opened the same way, and out rolled
egg number three.
So she kept opening and shutting till
she had ten. all the way, in size, from
a hen's egg to a quail's egg. And this
last little egg opened like the rest, and
there was the dearest little gold ring!
"I'd rather have that for my birth
day than anything, mamma," she
said afterward. "'Twas the very
nicest nest of Easter eggs I ever did
see, and to think I felt bad because it
seemed like only just one!" Youth's
Companion.
There is a Boy I can Trust,
We once visited a public school. At
recess a little fellow came up and
spoke to the teacher as he turned to
go down the platform, the master
said: "That is a boy I can trust!
He never failed me." We followed
him with our eye, and looked at him
when he took his seat after recess.
He had a line, open, manly face. We
thought a good deal about the mas
ters remark. What a character had
that boy earned! He had already got
what would be worth more to" him
than a fortune. It would be a pass
port into the best store in the city,
and, what is better, into the confi
dence and respect of the whole com
munity. We wonder if the boys know
how soon they are rated by other peo
ple. Every boy in the neighborhood
is known, and opinions are formed of
him he has a character either favor
able or unfavorable. A boy of whom
the master can say, "I can trust him
he never failed me," will never want
employment.—Our Dumb Animals.

The Art of Story Telling.
The habit of telling stories is apt to
grow into a vice. It is easy enough for
a bright man to raise a laugh and aid
in the entertainment of a company
by the relation of some bright inci

generate into a monopolizer of con
versation. Some one once defined a

talk about yourself. There is a good

not to be so personal as one's own
