Born at Thornhar.i iu Norfolk in JR14, tbo venerable widow of the lafo Thomas Thoriiycroff, -eulptor, who Tijissed from among us on the 1st of February, leaves behind her the sweet savor of a life of talent ami industry, coupled with the warm regard of ali her friends. Daughter of John Francis. who died in 1JSB1 at the sanio ago as his daughter, Mrs. Tiiornycroft early exhibited that love of plastic art of which her father was also a profe.-sor of note. Thoro is one of his works in the National Portrait gallery—a bust of the Duke of Wellington—that is a fair example of the skill that found its author sitters among more than one crowned head and many of the most distinguished persons of his time. Working in her father's studio, with the gentleman as a fellow pupil who subsequently became her husband, the,

This led to a series of commissions Jrtrtri her majesty and tho prince consort, tho results of which are to bo seen at Windsor, Osborne and Buckingham palace. It is scarcely necessary to enumerate more than a few of Mrs. Thornycvoffc's very numerous works. Jn 1H-17 !s3io had in tho Royal academy a marble bnsf of H. R. Ii. tho Prince of Wales.

Irish Point Lace.

A woman who does i: )t- love laco is tho sort of freak that has never yet been found, and her admiration of it cannot be called and varie siasm ovt in propnr purjn iso

Irish point laco that bids fair to become a veritable craze before summer. Everybody is trying to learn how to make it, since the hand made product sells fabulously high in the shops and its purchase is limited to the rich. Narrow, looped

edged

braid comes by the pieco

for tho purpose, ranging from 25 cents to? 1.50 per dozen yards, and with an outline pattern, a spool of linen thread and a needlo intricate and beautiful work is done that rivals tho wcblike lace of the old world workers.

As the latest luxury in laco demanded by fashion is an elaborate collar of vandyke points, with a smaller set for tho sleeves, the clever amateur lacemaker is trying her utmost skill upon thoso and with such success that ono of them was recently offered a largo sum of money for such a set by a leading merchant who saw it.

These points are very handsome on fancy silk waists and are extremely effective on small boys' suits a la Fauntleroy. A gnat deal of it is being made to trim sheer india muslins for the coming summer, and tho line kind makes handsome ends for soft mull ties.

When IFasiiion announced that very large? hats and full sleeves would be worn, it was a foregone conclusion that capes won id remain in favor, writes Isabel A. Mallon in an exquisitely illustrate article on "The Early

Spring Wraps" in The Ladies' Home Journal. All women who have exporienced the diliieulty of getting a full bodice sleeve into even a full coat sleeve will be glad to hoar that tho vogue this spring is given to the cape, which is so easy of assumption and so many in its styles. Sometimes it is nothing more than a full collar reaching to tho shoulders, while again it comes to the waist or below it. Velvet alone, velvet and cloth, cloth and satin or crepon aro the materials favored for tho spring capes.

Trimmings, aro almost invariably beads, ribbons or laces. Tho average woman is apt to think that jet trimmings are expensive. Of course this is so if they are purchased with the. heavily cut pendants or elaborate spangles at- I taclied to them. Bat if a simple trimming is bought, and one is industrious enough to sew more beads on it to spanglo it heavily and to form out of single beads tho pendants, a rich trimming may bo obtained at tho e::penso of a little time, a littio money and a. little patience.

Tho Viinislihifi 'VVorKljasUft. Tho plaint for tho vanishing workbasket has come. Somebody has discovered that tho new woman does iu.fr use it and sigh.- for the grace and womanlines* that must go with it. Wiiy must these attributes go with it? Ju olden days men embroidered as well as women. but they have long laid by tho needle. Times

change,

am"! with the times

change the practices and customs of tho people as well as their implements. Sewing machines made tho llrst stab at tho work basket, and the widening of the list of women's occupations has done the rest. At the women's exchanges stockings aro darned, napkins are hemmed, trousers are patched for a trifle. Tho woman who is writing or using her other than sewing talents in any way finds it useful economy to havo even the most prosaic and simple of her household sewing done outside, and tho workbasket exists for her only to draw tho stitch of a glove or sew on a button. Womanly graces never depended on the workbasket, though they were associated with it. They aro changing their background perhaps in these days. They aro not going out of fashion.—New York Times.

The Spinner Memorial.

Tho Spinner Memorial association will soon havo ready for unveiling the bronze statue of General Francis E. Spinner to stand in tho national capital. Tho story cannot be too often told: "In tho year 18(!2 General Spinner brought about the appointment of seven women as clerks in tho treasury department of tho United States, and so much did the opening of those doors benefit woman in giving her an opportunity of securing an independent livelihood that in 1S75 iJOO women were employed in that department of tho government, and at tho present time the names of 1,770 women, residents of Washington city, are borne upon its pay rolls, while in different departments of government they number over 7,000."—Washington Letter.

lie] gi urn's Ouoon.

The queen of Belgium is still suffering severely from the recent disagree-• aide mishap. While visiting the royal stables, according to her frequent custom. and in the act of offering one of her favorite horses a lump of sugar, the animal bit h-r savagely in the hand and arm. The attack was so unexpected and, the shock so great that the queen fainted. Though inflammation set in and the wounds were serious for a time, they have now he aled, leaving, however, the nervous system of the royal lady considerably shattered.

A N«w Wrinkle In Tea.

A new wrinkle for the tea tablo is to take a small portion of strong tea, enough for brewing a cup, and do it up in a little circular pieco of sheerest white organdie, tying it tight and pinking the edges and then fluffing them out to conceal tho fastening. One of these is dropped into each teacup and the boiling water poured over it. The effect is extremely dainty as well as palatable, and tho tea is brewed with more ease than is possible when the tea ball is brought into play and can bo served hotter.— Exchange.

A Dress Hint.

If your street gown shows signs of wear at tho bottom or has shortened, as some woolen gowns will do, get some hercules braid and put a band smoothly around tho foot of the gown, levting it come down below tin* material so as to lengthen tho skirt. Hold it a little full when putting it on, so that it will not draw. It is quite fashionable and certainly is economical. If you like, you can lengthen tho skirt with something and set the braid over that, but tho other answers quite as well, and it is less trouble.

The Turkish Too.

Something new is tho "Turkish toe." It is two inches longer than tho foot and turned up so that the least bit of the sole appears to view when worn. It is an elongated razor toe, and manufacturers say it will bo a permanent style. Thero is a decided tendency to narrow toes. Even tho square ones aro "narrow square. As for tho material in spring shoes, colors will lead, then patent leather, kangaroo, and of course glazed kid will bo fashionable. Shoo and Leather Reporter. I

A Stop Forward.

Tho idea is being considered to unite all the women's clubs in Kentucky in a stock company for tho erection of a handsomo woman's building in Lexington. Only since last year, when tho Kentucky Equal Rights association secured tho new property laws, has such a project been possible in Kentucky, Women could havo built tho building before then, but they could not havo held tho title. Now Kentucky women own their own buildings and their own I pocketbooks too.

Upholstering.

Upholstering is a trade that has been suggested for women. It is work that is well adapted for feminine hands, and more than a do/.en women aro on record as successful upholsterers. They get along much, better with feminine customers, it is said, than men, as they more readily understand wiiat is wanted, and with their superior taste can give a cozy and homeliko elT'cct to their work that is lacking when a man is engager!.

Y/omcn Drug (""'•'rJcs.

The.- innovation of a woman clerk in a drug storo has almost ceased to bo such and is a growing custom. Need:* as delicato and eoiuidonfial as thoso which ta':o ii woman to tho doctor's private office havo often to be voiced in a drug store, and Hut woman customer is always glad at such times to have a woman clerk to whom to appeal.—Exchange.

Its record for 1 ho tlireo years of its existence shows a most comprehensive literary schemo and testifies that high class clubs can flourish evon in small places remote from cities.

Womcn Candidates In Kentucky. The Prohibitionists of tho state aro silent in their platform as to woman suffrage, but they added grace to their ticket by naming Mrs. Frances E.

March IS.—Mrs. William

Afitor is tho most interviewed woman in A'uerica on social matters. She is gracious ami hind, and while declining to see reper rrs herself is ready to give r.bundant

regarding her dinners, halls

and receptions. This news in conveyed through her maid, who conducts lie scribe nijore the drawing rooms ami dining rooms, allowing ampin tims to take notes. When the reporter is a woman, Mrs. Aster's dress is spread out for inspection. Sho even replies to notes, provided the subject refers to social matters. The reporter, however, does i.ot find himself in possession of her autegraph in such eases, as tho iK'tes are written in the third person.

Pointed toed shoes are going out of fashion and square toed ones coming in. This has nothing to do with tho common sense idea. Tho new shoo is quite as narrow as the razor point, but just at tho end it has tho appearance of having been neatly chopped (.IT. Another radical change, in footwear is in tho heels. Never since the days "•••.of Louis XV of France have women worn such heels as they are wearing now. Nearly all the lino shoes have heels from 1% to i) inches high. In many instances they are tho real Louis (Juinzo affair, running almost to tho middle of tho foot. Laced boots aro quite tho proper thir.g mado in tho iincst materials this season. A combination of patent leatherand black or tan colored cloth makes a very handsome dress boot.

Tho flower boa is tiie novelty of the hour. It is tho most becoming neck adornment yet devised. Mado of daisies, violets or roses, nothing could ho prettier. A pi ..iicd frill of lace, either black or yellow, furms tho foundation, the flowers being caught in each plait, it is tied in front witn

wide

Capes aro to be the spring wraps. The double and treble capos, it is said, arc go- I ing out altogether, and in their stead a singlo cape will be worn. It will reach a triflo below tho waist, with the godec folds brought out in some ingenious manner I near tho edge. A high collar will give style to the garment. Perforated cloth, black over colored, or lilack satin is a pretty material for this stylo of cape.

If rumor is reliable, tho fin do siccle young woman has added boxing to her already long list of masculino accomplishments. Report is that in many New York homes a bovy of girls meet together twic.o a week with a professor of boxing to instruct them in the art.

A gracious custom among fashionable debutantes is sending all the flowers they receive at their coming out balls to tho sick in the various hospitals. After tho coming uut ball of Miss tJertrudo Yanderbilr. last winter 1

bouquets were distrib

uted among tho sick in the hospital founded by tho Yanderbilts. Mulls tho past winter havo been as huge as thoso carried by our grandmothers. For everyday wear the fur muff is all very well, but the really smart, affair is made of silk or velvet ami chiffon. Violets area favorite decoration. When fur is used, nothing is more elegant than tho sable head and tails. The muff chains are of gold, studded with precious stones. A Hat I .-and of riblion fastened with tiny gold or silver buckles is an inexpensive way of securing a miuf.

Boston, March is.—Then been somewhat of a question as lo whether tiie so called gyp.-.ies of .America are true l'onsanie.'j or mt, and the recent death at J'rovideiice of •'Prince Williams" will no doubt, start the discussion afresh, for it is averred on very good authority that, he was jie-t a plain Knglishman and no liomany at all. e.e.e it, was in the lines of the Tudors that, the gypsies (i.s the word a .corruption of Egyptians?) crossed over from the contiin,lit to tho Briti.-di isles, because of rigid decrees of expulsion promulgated in Spain, Germany and France. They met a rather cold welcome, but wero nevert.heless allowed to stay on the earth and practico their peculiar methods ot winning a livelihood, to tho great disgust of tho Knglish peopie, as is clearly shown from the epithets applied to the nomads by tho writers of those early days. Ono old roeovd says of them that they wandered uppe ii'v.l ilnwne and met once a year at ii place appointed, sometimes at tho Peak hole, at Derbyshire, and at other whiles by Hetbrook, at Blaekheath.Another English writer s-poko of them iis "vagabonds, mastorlesa men, ydle, vagraunte, loiterynge, yll disposed persons, going abouto usynge subt-iltio and unlawful games or plaie," but in Scotland they were after a time received as decent and law abiding colonists I and for awhile, were treated with consideration. In a few years, however, wheu their true character became known, an «ict was .passed for tho suppression of "Egiptians, bards, minstrels and vagabond schollars."

Finally Johnnie Faw, the "Earl of Little Egipt,"' ran away with, tho daughter of a countess, and hundreds of gypsies were wiped out in tho fight that followed, and the woman was imprisoned for life at Maybole, Ayrsliiro, in a tower built for that purpose. Yet notwithstanding this and other slaughters of gypsies thero are plenty of them in the United Kingdom yet.

Instances of tho kidnaping of women by gypsies in America aro not wanting, and ono such was reported in Missouri last yoar. Early in tho eighties, when the drama of Tho Romany ltye" was having its successful run in New York, a special attraction lay in tho fact that tho part of the gypsy princess was played by Mario Lovell, the daughter of tho chief of a band that used to rovo over New Jersey. Two years ago, when this girl, who was really quito pretty, was well grown, sho eloped or was abducted from tho gypsy's camp, and Chief Lovell raised a great to do about it. Whether she was ever found by tho sorrowing Romanies that mado up tho camp never hoard, but for months after hor disappearance old man Lovell prowled about the country with a gun looking for her and tho man she went away with.
