WOMAN AND FASHION. A Rich Parisian Costume-Of Course She Doesn't Want Publiclty-A Stylish Spring Cloak—The New Woman. Some of the costumes worn In the production of “Le Marine Bourgeois” at the Gymnase in Paris, says L Art et La Mode, are unusually rich and attractive. A gown worn by Mlle. Megard is shown in the illustration' The wide blouse is in the princess r- J C ■_ r' v -.i \ \/ / ' \ / V V \ I A RICH COSTUME. style and but slightly adjusted to the | figure. It is drawn in slightly at the ! waist, however, by a girdle of red .Tap- : anese surah embroidered with white lace. The sleeves and yoke are of gath ered, mauve mousseline de soie. Does Not Wish Publicity. It was at the Great Woman's club, the Great Woman Audience was gathered, the Great Women Paper Readers were about to begin their Great Papers, and the little woman reporter was about to take her little notes. ‘‘Be sure,” said one Great Woman Paper Reader, in a stage whisper as she passed the little woman reporter, “to give a good notice to my paper, for I want my husband to read it.” The shadows were beginning to fall, the Great Woman Audience was disbanding, the Great Women Paper Readers bad read their Great Papers, and the little woman reporter had taken her little notes. “If you ever have any other notes about the club that you would like to have used,” said the little woman reporter meekly, as she passed the Great Woman Paper Reader who had spoken to her earlier in the day, “if you will send them to me, I shall be very glad to use them. ” “No,” said the Great Woman Paper I Reader, and she held her head high and spoke in cold tones, “there will be no I notes. The Society of Sisterly Love does j not wish publicity of any kind.” And if truth is stranger than fiction, this at least is truth.—New York Times. A Spring Cloak. A stylish gray cloth spring cloak is shown in the cut. It is cut closely to the figure in the back and falls straight in the front. The two wide revers fall to the tips of the toes. The skirt is made in a succession of three overlapX' ij A STYLISH CLOAK. ping flounces. The cravat is of white embroidered mousseline. The bat is of silver spangled tulle trimmed with an aigret of white feathers, which is caught with a fancy jeweled buckle.— La Mode du Journal. What the New Woman Must Do. “The new woman,’’says Margaret E. Sarffcster, “must not make her womanhood the excuse for possible failures in duty. To keep her word, to fulfill her engagements, to pay her debts, to be fastidious in honor, to scorn vanity and coquetry, are her obligations. She must not stoop to silly flirtations nc.r too easily yield herself even to the persuasions of the man that seeks to marry her—the sought, never the seeker The new woman must not hold herself cheap, though. When she is won, it shall be said of her, as of her sister in the long gone days, that‘her price is far above rubies,’ ‘her husband is known in the gates'and‘she will dobl “' good and not evil all the days of her life.’ ” —Woman’s Journal. Will They Ever? Will the fashionable women of the world ever combine to put aside their vanity and come to the rescue of the bright plumaged birds and the innocent little songsters, to whose bright presence and melodious notes so much of human cheerfulness and happiness is due. Baltimore Herald.

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four I 1 | hours; a sediment or selling indicates I an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.! I When urine stains linen it is evidence jof kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is < also convincing proof that the kidneys | I and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. , There is comfort m the knowledge : so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in ' thi> back, kidneys, liver, bladder and i every part of the urinary passages. It I corrects inability to hold urine and I scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wino or | beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up ; many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary i effect of Swamp Root is soon realized, i It stands the highest for its wonderful I cures of the most distressing cases. If ' you need a medicine you should have ■t he best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may I have a sample bottle and pamphlet' | both sent free by mail, upon receipt, of three 2c stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle.

Grant Duff, in his “Notes From a Diary,” calls “a capital story,” was told by Arthur Russell. Browning, it seems, was lately introduced to the Chinese embassador—the introducer, who acted also as interpreter, observing that they were both poets. In the course of conversation. Browning asked how much poetry bis excellency had written, j “Four volumes,” lie answered. “And I what style of poetry does your ex<« 1lency cultivate?” “Chiefly the enigI matical,” replied the other. “We felt doubly brothers after that, ” was Brown--1 ing's subsequent comment. rffi\ l ••Why Women Cannot j.'

THE HOUSEHOLD. How to Make Picture Frames at Home. Orance and Rice Pudding-Cozy Corner In Country Bedroom. With a little amateur knowledge of carpentry, a common table, a miter block, a miter shoot, a vise and a few homely tools, frames for engravings, etchings and photographs can ba easily made. Prepared moldings, plain, gilt or ornamental, with pretty devices, may be bought cheap and all ready to be glued on. Brown holland to cover the frames is popular with some and is prepared by laying it on a table and putting over it either thick card or a thin pine board cut to lit the picture intended for framing. The holland, which ought to be two inches larger than the board, should be pinned on the underside and fastened securely with glue when dry. An opening is cut in it to admit the picture, and the margin that must be left to turn under is first pinned, to make it fit smoothly, and then glued. The frame is finished around with a narrow bit of molding, painted white and fitted at the corners by means of the miter block and shoot, the lengths for the four sides being sawed off and transferred to the shoot, to be cut at exactly the same angle. The corners must be fastened together by brads or headless nails, the holes for the brads being made with an awl and afterward filled up with a composition of whiting and sizing. The molding ought to be carefully rubbed over with emery paper of fine quality before being painted. If a molding for the finished frame is desired, the process of preparation is to thoroughly rub the material used with emery paper, then to wash it over with a pipe clay and chrome yellow mixture, and when dry to give it a second coat and rub again with the paper. A coating of oil gold size must now be applied and left on for 12 hours, after which the molding must be washed in clean water and strips of gold leaf, cut to the desired size, put on, the frame being freshly moistened for each leaf. Use a brush in pressing the leaf into place. Burnishing consists in giving the frame two or three coats of burnish size, after which it is thoroughly rubbed and given a washing of spirit burnish. Oraitje and Rice Pudding-. Peel four oranges and slice them roundways. Bring a pint of milk to the boil with an ounce of powdered sugar, beat up a tablespoonful of ground rice in a little cold milk and stir it into the boiling milk and stir over the fire till it all thickens. Pour it then into a basin and add to it gradually the beaten yolks of two eggs. Put a layer of this in a pie dish, then lay on it carefully half the sliced oranges, strewing these with sugar. Cover these with more of the rice flour mixture, then lay in the rest of the orangesand cover once again with the rice, etc. Whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth with a little ; sugar and pile it on the top of the pudding, which is then baked in a cool oven. Serve hot or cold. Water Cress and Tomato. The best addition to a salad of water cress is tomato. They are a most agreeable affinity. It is a process that calls for patience to pick the cress and reject: all that is not fresh and all stems that I are not tender. When they are picked I and drained free from dew, season them I with a French dressing. Then take an equal quantity of fresh tomatoes, slice and season these separately and put each away until ten minutes before serving, when blend them lightly with two forks. They need no garnish and are a pretty bit of color. If the tomatoes are very juicy, drain the slices and put the superfluous liquid with a vegetable soup or save it for a tomato ome- I let the next day. The Cozy Corner. A corner in a room nowadays is an opportunity. In parlor, library and sitting room happy ideas of comfort and beauty may be carried out. Any number . of cozy arrangements may be thought I of. The bedroom need not bo slighted | in this direction, for it presents many I openings for skill and taste. The ac-1 I fis® I | FOR A COUNTRY BEDROOM, companying sketch shows a corner in a bedroom of a country bouse. It is draped with the same chintz that is used in | curtains and the rest of the upholster- j ing. The lace is heavy ecru torchon, j The back of the triangular sofa is a screen of the drawn chintz, above which . is a shelf for photos and bric-a-brac. A Box Under the Bed. Where space is valuable the space be- ; neath the bed may be utilized by having j a long, low box made to fit into it. This | should have a tight cover, of course, to keep out the dust and should be provid- I ed with handles or straps at the sides ! with which to draw it out. A young man who occupies a small hall bedroom in New York has such an arrangement, under his bed, in which he keeps bis dress suit and bis frock coat. Pains 1 should be taken in having such a bed box made that th» wood is light and ; thin, so that it can be easily moved in , and out. |
