about it. Ah, well! it was not my ex
travagance. And here are my gloves.
See how many I have left. There are
six of these long white, and six of cream
color. They were sent me from Paris.
And here are the gloves of all—look,
husband —my wedding gloves! Only
one finger is a little marked on the glove,
drawn for my ring. Dear long gloves.
I’ll put them away so carefully. Only
on some grand occasion, when I wish to
look my very best, will I wear these
gloves —when I wish to ensure the high
est respect of my husband,” she said,
looking up at me laughing.
“From what you say, one would
imagine that you were going to with
draw from the world and wear a serge
robe,” I answered.
0, no! Sometimes lam going to dress
at home. I’m coming out to tea with
my diamonds and some handsome lace
upon my dress, that you may not forget,
in your practical life, the delicacy and
beauty there is still in the world.”

At this season, when our ladies are ar
ranging for preserving fruit, it may be
acceptable to some young housekeeper
to give a receipt that a lady friend has
tried and produced some beautiful jars
of preserved fruit.
Quinces.— The large apple quince is
preferred for making jelly. All quinces
should be perfectly ripe and sound before
using them to preserve. Pare and half
them; take out the cores. To each
pound of fruit put a tea cup of water.

Place them in a preserving kettle over
the fire, cover and let them boil gently
until a broom splint will pierce them;
then take them from the water with a
skimmer onto a flat dish; fold a napkin
over them. To the water in which they
are boiled put one pound of white sugar
to each pound of quinces; stir it until the
sugar is dissolved and hot, then put in
the quinces. Let them boil gently until
they are clear and the syrup is thick; cut
one open; if it is not the same color all
the way through, let them boil longer
until it is so. After placing the fruit in
ajar, let the syrup cool and settle for a
few minutes, then pour it over the fruit.
A Simple Remedy for Rheumatism.— A
correspondent of the English Mechanic
gives the following, which he has tried
with success: One quart of milk, quite
hot, into which stir one ounce of alum;
this makes curd and whey. Bathe the
part affected with the whey until cold.
In the meantime keep the cuids hot, and
after bathing put them on as a poultice,
wrap in flannel, and—go to sleep (if you
can). Three applications should be a
perfect cure, even in aggrvaated cases.
The cultivation of pond lilies, which
was once thought to be impracticable, is
a quite common practice. Probably the
largest cultivator of this beautiful flower
is Superintendent Parks, of the New
York Centra] Park. In conversation
with a reporter recently, he said: “The
lilies we put in the different parks are
not entirely hardy, and in consequence
we take them all out in the fall and put
them in our greenhouses. Os course
there are some that resist the frost, and
are not disturbed, but I can safely say
that the greater part of them are re
planted every year. The bulbs are
planted in boxes of earth, which are set
in the boxes prepared for them, and in

this way their removal in the fall is an
easy matter. The colors of the lilies
vary from the pure white to the deepest
red.
Orange Sherbet.— Twelve oranges, two
lemons, one pint of water, one pound of
loaf sugar and one tablespoonful of gela
tine. Rub the rind of two of the oranges
with three or four lumps of sugar to ex
tract the zest. Let the gelatine soak for
an hour in enough cold water to nover it,
then dissolve it in a pint of boiling wa
ter. Boil the sugar and water together,
and let it stand until cold. Then squeeze
in the juice of the oranges and lemons,
stir in the zested lumps until dissolved,
strain the mixture and freeze in the or
dinary way.
Among the smartest items of dressing
at the present moment are the out-door
jackets—cover-jackets—some of them
with large ivory engraved buttons.
Others are made in plain cloths of va
rious colors, but always with the fronts
more or less decorated, frequently with
brocaded plush, or velvet or gold em
broidery. However, their perfections
rests more with the cut, which must be
perfect.
“Chantilly lace is not always black,”
are words which every woman who as
pires to seeming wise as to lace should
remember. Real Chantilly is simply
black Brussels, and its cost is something
to make a buyer perfectly conscious of
what it is. Imitation Chantilly is almost
any black lace that is not Spanish, if the
shopkeepers may be trusted. They use
the name for edgings and web laces re
sembling dyed Mechlin and dyed
Duchesse, and also for nondescript
things with point stitches introduced
here and there.
