WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?
HOW TO MAKE COTTON DRESSES
FOR SPRING AND SUMMER.

Any (Style of Skirt.
Bau bodices are oxoeedinslT faaUionalile
t th jtivst'iit time, es'ieciully when worn
with a wiilstcout of contrasting matci iul and
color. While coiiuned to no certain tigo,
these bodioes are most lorRfly worn by young
girU au J young ladies.

aliove. The sl.vvo cuffs a re 4 inches and tho
neck band -J indies wide. Tho IhmUi o here
represented was made of mixed colored
cheviot, with trimmings of red brown plush,
largo passementerie buttons and harmonizing
cord clasps.
lSi'iiot'li a ml ISnr Pin.
Tbo brooch or round pin is fust gaining
popularity; iinl".d, it is now tho most fash
ionable form of neck pins made, although the
lnco or bar pin -as the long pin is vuriotisly
termed is also in style. A pin to lie culled a
brooih nowadays need not conform to any
regular size or form, so long as it is short and
broad rather than bursbiid it is a brooch.
In our illustration we give three popular pat
terns In neck pins, two lieing brooches and
one a regular bar pin.
BIMMX'IIES AND BAIt PINS.
Ono simulates, with small gems in a gold
setUug, a star and crescent, which, by the by,
id a very fioptilar d)sign. Tho other brooch
consists of a gold horseshoe with a clover leaf
in tho center. Tiiis is also a favorite design.
The remaining trinket is a bar pin set with
tmall brilliants. If a lady can afford but
ono style of pin it is advised that she select a
brooch, as the probabilities are that another
season the bar pin will lie neurly if not
quite out of fashion.
Cotton Ilresse for Spring.
Tho cotton dresses being prepared for
spring and summer wear aro mostly of
Scotch ginghams, satteens, In wns and mus
lins, trimmed with embroidery, velvet and
the corded and looped edge riblionsof smooth
silk in preference to those of satin or velvet.
The waists of these dresses are basques, or
else round waists gathered to a licit, while
aomo of the French models are polonaises.
Tho basques are shaped like those of stulf j
dresses, with darts and side forms, though
not made to tit so snugly, aud uro lined j
throughout, sometimes with tho dress ma- j
terial (ls'ing merely doubled), or in other
cases with a plain, solid color of that
material if the goods aro at all transparent,
while tin; clse satteens have colored sat teen
or thin silesia linings that (ire sometimes sup
plied with w h-ilelxmes, and finished in
every way as a silk or wool dress would
be. Tho gingham und lawn basques are
made w ith reference to the laundry and may 1
lie without lining or wiih it, as the wearer
chooses, and should have the seams pressed
open ami overcast. Tho shirred basques will
lm worn again, with shirring just in front, of
the throat, or else along tho shoulders, and
again at the waist line in back and front.
Plain basques are short all around, but uro
pointed in front end huvu two lxx plaits 1
liinri. Their trimming is open patterned
embroidery, s t on as a slender V sh.'qied
vest, w ith narrow revers of the emtnoidei v
beside it. The collar is turned over and
straight, a- are the cuffs of the coat sleeves,
or tho wristband of tho shirt sleeves, which
are again suggested. The edge of the basque
has in it embroidery shiqied to a point in
front, wider i the hips, and quite wide in
tho back, where it passes under the los
tilion pleats. A short square bow of riMsin
is on tho left side of the collar, and a larger
Ikiw with ends is on the waist line in the back.
Small jienrl buttons, nearly flut, with eyes in
the centre
The skirt and its drapery aro attached to
ono belt; the shirt is gored as any foundation
skirt is, hemmed plainly, or flnishisl w ith a
foot pleating, and has a cushion bustle, and
steels. If tiio appearance of a full skirt is
desired, there is u full of the material, or of
deep embroidery sewed with scant gathers or
plaited around this skirt, and the drapery is
kng enough to conceal tho upjier part of this
fall, which may be half a yard deep, or
deeper if n. quired. The overskirt of the
dress goods f:iUs in a long pointed apron, with
the point turned underneath, and bos square
or rounded baeu breadths, with the top droop
ing down from the licit in'jioiuts or burnooso
folds. The lonr, round overskirt will le worn
again, as it. always is. simply hemmed, and
canght up on the sides tosuit the liguro of the
wearer, i ither in long slender funnel shaped
plaits, er for a slight li;ure w ith full fills on
tueliips this oveisKi'rt is liked with a very
laln low r j-Mrt male of a straight fall

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
Cp Stairs, Dunn Rlalrs, In Kitchen And
In the Ladle' Turlor.
An excellent way to dust a room Is tolieptn
with the walls. Tin or lie several thicknesses
of loth over a broom and sweep the walU
down thoroughly, leaving at tuoKiuie tuiit
all tho door and window open. This matter
of sweeping thu walls is an iiiisrt.iut one; if
you d'in't Ix'lieve it examine tho cloths after
the cleaning has Isvn done. The walls swept
dow n.it is next in order to ii oil with a
damp cloth the Imeks ot all the picture
frames and the tops of the door and window
frames. At least once every week get a good
draft, wlii.-u will carry tho dust out of tho
window; then shake tho curtains and beat all
the upholstered furniture, for thi-se aiepiime
inner in the matter of lmrUring dust
The window sash, bill and glass ought all
to receive attention. UoiitoinU'r that it room
is not thoroughly dusted until nil the furni

aud dusted once every week ivtpnre but lit

troublesome household upheaval, known a
"uoumj cleaning," ixvurs.
Mad nut Curtain.
Tho present fancy in curtains is for the
various styles, qualities and patterns that
come under the general head of "Madras
goods." Homo of the new crepe Madras
goodx hnvo tine tinsel in the tiniest Hocks, but
this is not regarded -as in any sense a novelty,
it having apcurcd last season. The arrange
ment of the metal is somewhat novel, ami for
this and for tike exquisite combination and
blendin-' of the many tints tho new goods are
worthy of the highest praKv
The favorite colors are of a somewhat sub
dued order. Urow n in almost every shade,
tho entire range of olive, myrtle and sago
greens, copier, mandarin and every shade of
yellow, n very little light blue, dashes of red
mostly verging on garnet, rosewood and
maroon, old rose, or faded rse as it is called,
brick color and all of the variations of these
shades are found in tho best assortments of
these goods that are now coming from foreign
looms.
A new fifty inch all silk grenndiuo curtain
stuff in fancy weave is attracting deserved
attention. It is shown in ull colors, the gold
and ecru tints lieing the most desirable. Silk
brK'ading in Madras weave on scrim and

Illnliii; In Vanity l air.
There was an exceptionally elegant dinner
party in Vanity Fair one night last week.
Tho tablecloth wusof white suliu edged with
lace, and across the center, forming an X,
were blue plush scarfs with fringe of gold.
Four silver stands with branch' s on all sides,
which, however, were not symbolical of
family tiivs or genealogy, held fruits or corpu
lent candles, on which wore colored silk
shades. The china, ylass and silver ware wns
exquisite, iHissiblv remnants of Eugenie's
pantry, and at each plat." was a "favor" that
came from a most noted silversmith and
jeweler. There was music by an orchestra,
"concealed," as u-ual. behind a screen of ex
pensive flowers, and when the finger Imwls
came they were of hammered silver, filled
with iorfume, on which floated, of all flowers,
violets! Subsequently (i "hired woman" read
poetry when the company hail adjourned to
the drawing rooms, and largo bouquets of cut
flowers were brought for the ladies to carry
home with them. "It cost 1, ODD if it cost a
cent," said a man of calculating turn of mind
who was present.
Vent Hut Inn Without Draught.
The following cheap and simple method has
been found very satisfactory in solving the
troublesome problem how to secure fresh uir
in a room without exposing the inmates to
draughts. Nail or screw a neat strip of wood
from one to two inches wide uxin the
window sill just insido the sash and extending
across the window. Upon the top of the strip
fasten a piece of 'weather strip," so that there
will lie formed an air tight joint lietween tlx?
weatherstrip and the lower sash of the win
dow, whether the latter is closed or raised an
inch or two, the lower cross pieeo of the sash
sliding on the niblior of tho weather strip as
the sash rises. With this fixture the lower
sash may lie raised enough to admit air lie
tween the lower and upper sashes without ad
mitting the least air at the Isittom of the
window. The air thus entering is throw n up
ward and has its "chill taken off' lief ore de
scending upon the heads of the occupants of
tho room.

A Tasteful Table Hecorat mil.
A veiy pretty and tasteful table dis-orntion,
where the housewife is wanting in silver and
fine glass service, and yet di sires to niiik n

light workmanship filled with flowers and
their foliage. An uttruotiveceiit r piece may
be made by lining a basket with fine green
leaves and then tilling in with seasonable
flowers.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Fact, Theories and Ktperlments !
Kverjr Day Lilts
Dr. Htilnmnn, of tlermany, lectured re
cently on the dangers of living in new bouses.
According to him, the close fitting of now
doors, window sashes and floor prevents the
entrance of fresh air from tho outside, while
the moisture lathe pores of new plastering
obstructs the transpiration of nir through
them. For these reasons, together with the
consumption of oxygen and formation of car
bonic acid in inhnbited rooms, he recom
mend that no dwelling be occupied till its
walls ore thoroughly dried, w hich may take
a year or two. To hasten tho process he ad
vis." burring charcoal in the rooms, Tho
carUmic acid thu formed changes ths
hydrate of limo in the plastering tocarlsm
ate, and sets free the wuter of hydration
which tills the Kin ot the plastering, until
nil of it cvaNirates. Other authorities, How
ever, rate the danger of a new bouse less high
than does Dr. Hulumiin, provided efficient
ventilation is supplied.
Iun't ho Afraid of Cold Air.
Many iM'ixms are afraid of cold air,
especially at ni;;ht. They shut themselves in
close lied rooms where their systems aro
poisoned and gradually undermined by
breathing the bad nir. The benefit of air that
is cold a well as pure has an enthusiastic
advocate in IV. Oswald. He claims that the
remedial influence of fresh air is much in
creased by a low temiieraturo; so much in
creased that colds are, in fact, more curable
in mid winter than in mid summer, fold,
according to Dr. Oswald, is on antiseptic and
a powerful digestive stin ulunt. DysjK psia,
catarrh and fevers of all kinds ,tm lie frozen
out of the sjstem. Not by letting the patient
shiver in a snow lmnk, but by giving him an
extra allowance of warm bed clothing, with
the additional luxury of breathing ice cold
oir, which, under such circumstances, ,,lie
comes as pivferablo to hot miasma, as cold
Sluing water to warm ditch water." Tho
lnst brain work, according to the authority
quoted from, can ! done in a cold room.
Sleep a Preventive f DUense.
People have very generally learned the ls
son that natural sleep is the liest medicine of
the sick. A scientific w riter now calls atten
tion to its power as a preventive of disease.
He remarks, as an instance, that slWp taken
at the right moment, will prevent an attack
of nervous headache. If the subjects of such
headaches will watch its coming, they will
find that, it U-gius with a feeling of weariness
or heaviness. This is the time the sleep of all
hour, or even two, as nature guides, will ef
fectually prevent the headache. If not taken
just then it will he too late. After the attack
is fairly under way, it may U impossible to
get to sleep till far into tho night.
Lemon Cure for Iloumi'iiens.
Hot lemonade, taken just U-fore retiring,
is a well known remedy for a cold in its first
stages. Everybody is not familiar, however,
wiih the lemon cure for nn acute attack of
hourseiii'ss. For this purjxiso first roast a
lemon in the oven, turning it now and then
that all sides may be equally cooked. It
should not crack or burst, but bo soft all
through. While the lemon is still very hot,
cut apiece from the top, fill with ns much
sugar as it will hold and eat on going to bed.
One IMity of a Sick Nurse.
Anxiety about the patient, the confinement
and the fatigue of the sick room, all combiuo
to rob a nurse of uptictito. Still, as a matter
of duty, the nurse should take light, nourish
ing ftsid at stated intervals, and never go
near a sick person w hile feeling exhausted.
Always take something ls-foro entering tho
sick room, after absence for rest or exercise.
This is most important to lxith mu ses and
visitors of the sick, esiiecinlly in Inflations
cases, and materially diminishes the chances
of infection.
SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Manner niwl Custom Practiced In Po
lite Society.
There are many pooplo well fitted for the
best society but for ignorance of points of
table etiquette, which, though trifles in them
selves, are, on tho whole, of infinite imvirt
anee. For instance, where these requirements
are not known, if a general cessation of con
versation should suddenly occur iKin serving
the soup, would there lo silence in the place?
Not at all; the gap would lie filled with a
continuous bubbling sound from the mouth
of some unlucky wight whose mother never
taught him to take soup properly. Fortu
nately, a littla instruction and observation of
tho table manners of the well bred enable ono
to overcome failings like these. No one ueed
be put to disadvantage by them long.
Fork ami Spoon.
Whether the fork ought to be usisl in eating
all swis'ts, except custards, or whether it i
liettcr to use a spoon where slipis-riness is an
element, furnishes one of the battle grounds
of writers on etiquette, in practice some
people bunt their ice, for example, with a
fork. Some sti. k their trident, into jelly, at
the risk of seeing the w hole thing slip oir liko
an amorphous, trnnsluivnt snake. Tho same
with such compounds us custard puddings,
where it is a feat of skill to skewer the separ
ate morsels, and a small sea of juice is left on
ti e plate. This monotonous use of the fork
anil craven fear of Miosmou looks like mere
snobliery, says good authority. It is a well
known English axiom that the fork is to be
Used in preference tn tho spoon when ossibht
and convenient. I!ut to use it when scarcely

very great fear of .Mrs, Grundy.
The pirst to be Served at Tulile.
Opinions vary ns to who should 1st served
first nt table. Some persons in fashionable
society insist llist tho hostess shoul i ls first
attended to. It h.is Im-cii Miintsl out, how.
ever, that this fa-hion originated in ancient
tims when the hospitable custom of mi.sou
ing was in vogue und guests preferred to .see
the hostess partake of each dish In-fore ventur
ing themselves. Poisoning except by ri'il
pastry nnd the like U-iug not now in order, it. is
generally concedi-l that when there is but ojo
attendant, t he lady guest sitting at tse right
of the host, or the oldest lady, should be
served first. As soon as tho second p i son i
beljsil there need bo no further waiting
lefore eating.

At the commencement of the last century,
owing to overvaluation of silver in France,
the heavy silver coins rapidly disapieared
from circulation in Oreat llritain, only the

the standard) remaining. The government
underUmk to reeoin the entire remaining and
worn silver, and to make it full weight with
out raising its value. This only facilitated its
export and rendered itscireiilntion more diffi
cult at home; the real value of the coins
being so uncertain thai the guinea fluctuated
in price, as measured by silver, from 'Jls, M.
to 30s. It w as therefore, in 1774, declared
