REUSING INVITATIONS.
RefuMti invitations altogether, or
Invitation1 previously acwptcil, is with
the many an efl'ort, if not exactly
painful, yet not altogether pleasant.
To write n refusal with facts at com
mand deprives the act of any mispl
cion of ungraciousness: but facts are
not always forthcoming, or are, per
haps, of too private a naturo to be
made public property, hence, in writ
ing refusals and excuses, a certain
knowledge of letter-writing is all im
portant to novices in the art of saying
the right thing. Hut with regard to
refusals, the most decidedly disagree
able to write arc those in answer to in
vitations asked for through a third per
son. I'eoplc have various reasons for
declining general invitations besides
the all-sulliei-nt one of "a prior en
gagement." "Mis. A. very much re
grets that a previous engagement pro
vents her having the pleasure of ac
cepting Mrs. H.'s kind invitation," is
the usual formula in the conventional
world; but if these ladies were on
more friendly terms with each other,
Mrs. A. would probably write in the
first person when pleading a prior en
gagement. It is nn open question whether tho
nature of the engagement should bo
stated or not. Even intimate friends
often confine themselves to the state
ment of the bare fact only that a prior
engagement exists; others, on the con
trary, state the nature of tho engage
ment, and there is no doubt that in so
doing so a compliment is conveyed, I he
refusal softened, and any sense of dis
appointment, allayed.
Reserve is one cause for seeming
want of conlidenco, and a dislike to
Kriting long letters is another good
reason" while yet a third is tho fear of
not being equal to the task of explain
ing the engagement in a neatly-turned
sentence, I'cw care to confess this
much, but roundabout letters prove
that tho fear is not an unfounded one.
When a prior engagement can not bo
made tho basis of a refusal, then the
refusal must rest on other lines, and
how to avoid giving annoyance or of
fense is so perplexing, that the accept
ance of an unwelcome invitation is of
ten preferable.
Ill-health or a severo cold are ex
cuses that can not bo challenged; if
neither of those impediments can be
advanced, politeness must fall back
upon another resource, and this is exact
ly what politeness finds a dilliculty in
doing.
Why go?" And thus it m easier on
the spur of tho moment, to creato an
engagement for the day named in tho
invitation than to seek helplessly for a
further excuse. The excuse of a "prior
engagement" is adopted by many in
the same sense in which "not at homo"
is in every day use, signifying in tho
one case not to accept an invitation, as
in the other an intention not to admit
visitors. Hut it is not every ono who
ventures to take this latitude, consider
ing that it is not a straightforward
course, preferring to make a saerifico
of inclination rather than thus evade
an unwelcome invitation.
As a general rule, few invitations
are declined, save under imperative
circumstances, which means, indispo
sition, illness or family bereavement,
or unavoidable absence from home.

Summer soups are essentially thoso
without stock; they are palatable, nu
tritious, inexpensive, and easily pre
pared, and it is well, if the cook is ex
perienced in such matters, to attempt
these simple soups before experiment
ing with tho imaginary ililti -u ties or j
stock making. One of the very sini
plest forms of these "soups without j
stock" is the potato soup. One always ,
has tho ingredients for this right at
hand, and it may be made in three-
quarters of an hour easily. It is very
palatable, and is especially liked by '
children It is good for them, too, be
ing nourishing und healthful. For a
small quantity you wiil u-te three pota
toes, one pint of milk, one tea-pootiful
of chopped onion, one Mali of eeivry,
Ono teaspoolif'll of s:it, olie-haif a tc;i
Spoonfili of eery salt, i l:"-li:i f a -:ll!-BUOOtlfill

of a saltspoonful of cayenne, one-half
a tablespoonful of Hour, one table- '
spoonful of butter. S"!eet the potatoes
with care, having lie in of a eood and
uniform sie; wash und pate them, and
let them soak in cold water fur half au
hour; put them in boi.in water and '
cook them until they are very s'jft; cut
the celery stalk in small pieces and i
cook it, with the chopped onions, in
milk, which bhouid be in a dotiLile boil
er. When the potatoes are soft,
drain them and mash them with a wire
potato smasher, beating them up until
they are line and light; add the boiling '
milk nd the seasoning; rub this mix-'
ture through a strainer, and put it on j
again to boil in the double boiler in
which the milk was heated; put the!
butter Into ft email saucepan, and when ;
it Im melted and bubbling, add the j

to the smoothness of the soup, as it
keeps the potato and milk from scparat
ing, nd giTes consistency that is
quit unlike the granular effect often
noticed io soap from which the flour
has been omitted. If you find the
soup too thick, you may add more hot
milk. The celery salt may bo omitted
if you have tho fresh celery, or, if you
like, put ono tablespoonful of the chop
ped parsley into the soup just before
serving. If you wish tho soup to bo
riehor,"you may uso a quart of milk,
making it much thinner and adding
two eggs, well beaten, after you take
it fromUie lire; or put them into the
tureen and stir rapidly as you pour in
tho boiling soup. Kit her way it is very

To begin with, ladies who like cali
coes may revel in them at nominal
cost. Twelve yards of 6-cent calico,
a dozen or a dozen and a half of but
tons at 2 cents a dozen, and two spools
of cotton for sewing make tho price of
a pretty morning dress barely 80 cents; j
or, if tho dress is made in two pieces
with Spanish flounce and long, half-
iittiug sack nino yards, or at most ten,
will be suflicient.
White grounds, with small figures,
are the wisest choice in these cheap
calicoes, and tho variety of design is
limited. White and black washes best;
next comes white ami brown. The 8
cent calicoes aro warranted fast colors,
and conio in much greater variety.
American percals at 12$ cents mako
lovelv dresses, and American sateens
are sliown in the same patterns and
colorings as tho French goods at more
than twice tho money. It can not be
denied, however, that tho foreign
ma-
terial is much liner in linish; still, tho
American fabric finds many purchas
ers, and if very effective- when prettily
made, Lawns at Yl cents, ginghams
at 10 and 1G cents per yard, ami tho
pretty linen d'Inde, which is tho ac
cepted substitute for Victoria lawn,
and which may be bought as low as 20
cents, swell the list of inexpensive ma
terials. Thus for h ono may purchase a 5
cent calico, a gingham at i cents,
i and a lawn at the same price, twelve
i yards of each, together with two pieces
j of harrow imitation Valenciennes at 20
i cents per piece to trim the lawn, fifteen
I yards of Hamburg edge at 2 cents per
i yard for the gingham, and still have
have money enough left to buy buttons
J and spool cotton. The gingham will
i be quite as pretty self trimmed, and in
I this case a yard "more should be pur
chased to allow for hems.
Thirteen yards of linen d'Inde is suf
licient for a tucked dress with round
waist gathered to a belt, and wide sash
of tho dress material tucked across tho
ends, iso trimming is necessary, but
an embroidered mull lichu, which can
be bought for 75 cents, should be worn
with the dress. Or, for a moro econ
omical fichu, take a half square of tho
material and hemstitch it it in tucks
on tho straight sides. 1'hilade'phi'i

THE WHALEISONE BOIICE.
Catherine do Medici introduced tho
real whalebone bodice, with a strong
busk in front, and her example was
soon imitated by all Europe Waist
compression increased in snito of tho
I protests of kings and emperors and
and chief ministers ami nobles oi tno
land. This fashion is familiar to us in
England through tho portraits of "good
Queen Bess." Never since armor has
been invented has any stiller framework
for tho human body been devised. Tho
deep-pointed bodice was ns stiff and
hard as combined wire, whalebone and
steel could make it. and, to add to tho
I discomforts which fashion dictated, tho
I neck was likewise supported by a ruff
not only formed upon an elaborato
i background of metal and thick wire,
j but stiffened by tho newly discovered
i "devil's liquor" starch. Men were as
vain as women; both squeezed in their
j waists and both swelled their garments
out below. Thus a machine which bad
begun innocently enough as a tight-tit-ting
linen bodice was gradually devel
oped by tho addition of busks of wood,
of ivory and whalebone, and of sheets
and strips of steel, until a veritablo
armor-like incasing resulted. Theso
stiff, whaleboned corsets lasted through
all changes of outward attire; they
were prominent features of the Ucstor
ation fashions and of tho Watteau per
iod; but the revolution nt the end of
' tho eighteenth century, which shook
