I cfiasicr the work of helping women o b woman's most noble werk.

We are anxious to extend this good work. We need a large number of energetic, conscientious women on our Board of Management, women who will attend the meetings regularly and give to the exchange a fair proportion of time, thou hr, labor, and means sufficient for the succesafal carrying cu of oar plans. We must e-i dtavor to add very largely to the number of ot cur consigners, and, "if possible. Hscure wiost of them in oar own city. This will be of great advantage in v.trious ways; we will have our income much ir.crea e X by the sale of tickets, and our sto;k will üe much lareer and more Taried. To obtain lonsigners, I wool.l enzgeat a Visiting Committee, to from hocte to house, in certain localitifs, and arouse an interest in the work ol the exchange by talking cf its iasuy merits We ought to have a large and energetic Entertainment Committee, who? Uu'y would fce to frequently pan and direct virions amc8ements for the benefit of the excbaoge. 1 would lecomraend that the interests of our consigners be keenly looked after, and that they be personally known as far i ioaible by the President and various members of the'Dctird of Management. As mental culture advances the position of women, I think it would be well to ha?e an educational bureau connected with the exchange, thronen which women and girl a might be educated in various branches. 1 return my sincere thanks to these who have by liberal donations, kindly counsel, eucouraglng words and faithful work, UteJ so nobly toe batilne39 of the exchange. We at&ure our patrons that we fully appreciate their past kindness, und bope in the future to merit more th in ever their valued astiptance. With thanks for the nnirersally courteous treatment I ha7e received from you, and hoping God will guide yon in ail your counsels, I remain yours most affectionately, EuzAii fit A. Pakxi:h. The Secretary, Mrs. Mary W. Walker, sub mitted the following report from Febrnary 7, 184, to January a, 1SS3: It is with diffidence that I ent?r upon this my lint annual report, but woman's work for woman, when followed conscientiously and sincerely, is tho highest typts of sisterhood, 'I bat which prompts us to ameliorate the condition of our siaters is the finest impuhe l the heart. What we do singly is blesftd 30 far S3 it goes, and makes us conscious that oar lives have net been born o gentleness end kIndliuS5, bu; vhat we do colleciivtfly is mere 'ike tbe plan of the C.retfot when He gitbercd tha particlen of &nd and r.iJ the srathare. In our capacity here T73 work collectively, and the plan ana mops o! our work is the plan and scopj which comes ot the counsel of many. inoo this "ex change" was crsani::ed a sreat work has been performed and mach good done, as a retrospective examination -will ctt3t. Coming together novf ?n our annual meeting, it is seemly to congratulate ourselves in tidinz over a year which hss been remsrkablo for its busings disasters and stcgcatlon cf r omxntrcird affaira, Peing in its nature, to some extent, a concern whi:h fceia the depression of times, perhaps, as seasitiyely as any other kind cf a busmasj, etabiishmont, the exchange wn. look over tbe pist year with satisfACtioa. But the new year comes burdened with sichsfrotn the fact that our treasury is almost empty. I will endeavor to giv9 in this report as fully as possible the events ot tbe year. There has e been held twelve rerrlar monthly meetings. The Srst special woe ting, cilled March IS, to take action upon the new bylaws. The second, April Lrt to take action upon the entertainment :.t Dichscn's Oera House, from which we netted a goodly sum, as the Treasurer's report will 3how. The third. July 2, for the purpose of rtiiini funds for the exchange, as no exchange In tbe country is self-supporting. Then cans the tide In our affair a which did not lead cn to fortune; nevertheless, like Crar of old, "we plund in, escoutered as we wer:; tho torrent rcarsd and w did bullet it, with lcjty smews throwing it aside." Tola was la July; but now ths cry comes, "Help me, Csfsiu, or I sink." The ysar just past is marked by a number of pleasant featpre. First tbs entertainment at the Cpera Heus May 9, thtn tha reports of the various visiting committees (a new and enjoyabla festere of the exchange work) and. above at, the report of the chairman of the coxnirlttee for. August; it was not out of joint, nor ruite out of time, that this chairmen's repctt should be written iu rhyme. Iy the way this report, which i quite nniqe and origiral, can be purchased at the "ex Chan;" salesroom for the small turn often cent?, for the benefit ot the "exchanv." Tha next pleasant feature wes a report, which "vrra quite ercelient Inm tbe fact that it was to substantial, intellectually and financially, from the Chairman of tha Hale "air Lunch, who told the visitors of the fair that the "iions ot Hacx were bred and mustered there by the aaua-whica is around them." lb ne.M was the lecture by Dr. Lea Munhall, on the "Great Cathe

drals of Italy," at the residence of Mrs. Gammons. With these various entertainments, tcathsr with the donations and dues, we have been able to meet ail our expenses for the yeor. We are not in debt, a circumstance almost unheard of in benevolent work. A word or two not? in regard to our worthy President, who so acceptably filled the ofhea for three years, and whose executive ability is. unquestioned. Some of the old managers remember when she look hold of the wheel how shaky the craft w, and how rough the breakers. Bat thanks bo unto God, she has brought us tailing on a smooth sea, with breakers ahead of course, but if re-elected for the coming year, with her great practical powers and her good common sense, of which 1 once heard a noted man say, was better in the afi'aira of life than a classical education, though 1 beJMve our President is also a clavical tcholarI say if re elec ed for the comirg year, we certainly tn congratulate ourselves as a board of management. The most devoted, anxious nod untiring o nicer is our Treasurer, who it an bean instant in aeason and oat of Reason, whose books we bae examined and we do iiot wish to ba regarded as sacrilegious when we say tbey are a pure, perfect and clean as the bright pazrs of the "Lamb's Book of Lire." We still retain the s Arne clerk, together with an assistant clerk. Onr clerk is as indefatigable as ever in her efforts to promote the Interests of the exchange, filling three positions that of clerk, Corresponding Be o rstary and manager. And now comes the obituary notice of y our Recording Secretary. In every phase of lifo one Bible text always haunts her: "Whatsoever thy hand findetn to de. do It with thy might." And in the p; position ot your Secretary, 1 do not find any exception. That 1 have not done this wsrk with my 'mht" is not altogether my fault. The might, or strength, has not always been granted me. Yet there comes the consoling text, "She hath done what she coulV Of fifteen meetings during the year I hare been absent four times. I have failed sometimes to give the proper newspaper notices, and have not visited the "exchange" salesroom properly, all owlcg to illnees, for til of which I beg pardon. We have an excellent board of management, some of which hire more zeal and elhusiaam than others and attend the meetings more regularly. This is a grand, noble work when properly conducted. . D) we not feel a tender sympathy for those, oar lees fortunate sisters, whom lloud pictures as laboring With Ccfen weiry and worn.

Written for tbe ficoday SentiueL Small Talk, fcome writer in speaking of this type ol conversation, calls it "pretty lUtie small talk." One of a sarcastic turn of mind as he thinks of an evening spent in tha company of the avenge eociety young lady would feel tempted to call it, ai d justly too, "petty little Smalltalk." I imagine a few young people spending an vcaing at tho home of a friend. Almost in raediately after coming together, a request for music is advanced which ii enforced by steh ere)paations as these: "Oh you nvnsinow!"

"If yon do:; t, IT. nscr I. .f- ret any more!" "I hare just bt-n üvir.c tu hear yc . plaj !" "Be a dood 'ittle dirl row, au' i'ii iiv 'ou a lump of sudar seme day!" The young lady, perhaps reraernterinic some similar occurrence; accedes to the request with great relnciance, and peats herself at tbe piano. A casual observer would suppose, the demand for music hating been so urgent, that the room would be wrapt in death's own eiience; but al&s, for hums:: natuTft! The moment the performer, after

1 running her fair bauds over chords of barmor ions blending, begica a dshicg galop or r.njhap a beautiful sonata of Beethoven's that moment is the signal for general co: vtraiion, interjpened with giggles aud evei t mall shrieks, until, if we were orte of tbe cerrrsny. we would "s:he a sitW and snii! a smile and tbJnk ,:but Betsey she gigJed." The lady at the piano, in sheer deiyeraticn ebortens her performance by at least four psge?, but she is met by: "Oh, how delightful!" "Just too sweet for anything!" You must give us ancthsr!" "Only one morel" The lady hesitates, and suddenly the srxbject of music is forgotten, and some cae, taking advantage of the silence, remarks: "Oh Bell, were you giris at Smith' the other evening?" Pell answers. "Yes, indeed.' "Well, yen remember what happened t; glin); dou't giye tpe av?ay." "Never." Scon after this a lady cills serosa the rjjru. in a loud voice: "ay, have yea eard from Mr. Jias jot? Tbe reply is: "it's ail rieht if I haven." "Well, 1 never saw him but just those few minutes when you introduced hici, but yoa can tell bim when you write that I'm struck. He's just too svreet to live, don't you thiak Ort""" And so the evening pasred ava,y. In this va eea of society's shallowness will often be found young ladies of intellectual refinement and much more than ordinary ability, even as there are some rays of sunahine on darkest days. A lady in looking over the books that were lying on her hostess' table, exclaimed in a delighted voice, "Why, here's Bob Boy!" "Ah ye3 " very languidly remarked tbe lady cf iiehonsa as sho fanned herself with the latent fashionable air, "yes we've had that about the house for tome time nritfta by some fool or cthe, I Tha caller ave up in döäpa'u, r.nd Mt like tfco old iuan that tried to ktf p the h jys Lorn btcaling his apr les, that "It's no sort o' uiel" .ome cntle'mn, and even tucM 0! c altere, think that women can caly bo entertained by soci9:7's small talk.

Tbe Woman's Century. Illrs. ! ither T. Hctu"!:, in Vfomr.n's Magahie , Every era of the world his had its keynote rung out by tha hand ot time from the clock of the centuries. For eras are marked uprisings ot forces which have been gathering through long and silent yeara. Such an era tvas th9 tfteenth and sixteenth centuries, when "Liberty" eonnded through the old world, aud Columbus found the new world and Luther founded the new faith; when Bcienca read the heavens as a scroll, and investigation discoveted more clearly the las of nature, of mind and soul; and the conquering career of gunpowder and printing began. Through the wonderful years that have followed, the same keynote has rang out. until every device of the brain and hand of man has pdrfacted itself, and the continent is netted together with lines of almoet sendete wires, so vital does the telegraph teem, aod as a web, shore to sho:e and city to city ere bouni with shuttles ot railroad tirins, until time and epace are well-nigh annihilated. All through these years ancihsr force has be n gMhenng tog!tner the brotherhood of nsr. It tmcl: the chains from the hands of fcur million slaves. It has made America ths hoiiie c f all nations, it has woven in nid out .hrough all classes of men. making them, in cue sense, free and equal. Through the knowledge ot the human we climb to the knowledge of the Divine. When we realize the brotherhood of man, we realize ths fatherhood cf God. For while the creator is ever the same, he is only to the children of men what they understand hiui to be. So the keynote of the eras of time may be dual, showing our relation to each other and cur relation to God. "Liberty,, that echoed thronen the sixteenth centurv, was thus dual. "Freedom to worship CxT was the prayer and the act of the pilgrim'. It itill lings on , but It seems to us that another and clearer note is the voice of this age. As if time, touching the keys of the keys cf the nineteenth century, that history xibt write tbe progress of the years, rung cut clear s.2d strong, a Bound 11 christen-

tc. re ed tbe ilet of the sea. humanity knows it, for "tiatidi grow more tcp5fc :.. Voices grew irore tender.' It is the aice that eighteen centuries m wss cnantfd by angsl voices ia "Peace on earth, good will to men," transited anew to ns as "Love." There was f?c:r.etbing ia that sound that reached worcan e heart as it never was rr-cbei hefore, for woman is the mother the meth?r is lite, and life is love. I: the rule of God is love, the rule cf humanity is lova; for if humanity reaches it best estate it must M at cne ncpa stith God. And we climb another rourd beyond the brotherhood of maa to the s'sterhood of woman. It seerr-s Strang we did not always knov it, but we did nor. As if almost another racs cf creatures, necessary to the life and growth of ths world, and a part cf the world, woman was yet apart frcru the vcrld, snd more tlian til, acari from each other. It is a familiar truth that until only about thirty years aro 7a? thsr) much to signify but tha: women were a different clase, havinur few interests in common with me a. It ishf.rdto belisro that in America woman was e?er this silent factor, nof that her thought and labor permeate aud vitalizes all lifo. Too much a silent factor still, yet thirty years have brought such wonderful changes that on?, looking on, has raid, "The Nineteenth Century ia Woman's Century." Is it from the mountain-top of vi3iort that few great hearts have seen this dawn of the woman's century ? Nay! in thousands of peat hearts its light is shown. Not a home in Amerioa but has felt its power. And woaen that sit in the darkness of heathendom have felt the marvelous Ifefct of a sister'9 love as she tolls of a home and Christ Knough has been done in missionary wortr. a'oco, to mark this country as woman'. Her touch has swung open tho doors of colleges and schools. They ewuDgback tardily ; but the hinnes are forgetting their rustine. It is no longer a wonder if women are professors, aud M. D.s, aud D. D.s no mar pel if they are artist3 and vrrit8r3 and 8ucce3ffui business managers. uesticDs carue up year by year for solution. Why should such a dilicrencc be made in tbe laws that govern man and wciüanV Why should her day's work, dct.c as Ttell, be worth only half pay? Why ere not her children hers by the laws cf the land as by the laws cfCcd? Why uhould the world be full of pitfalls for childhood'3 feet, why full of snores for woman's life? Why should tbe weak be tempted, why should they be condemne'l, and the strong go free? All th??e u?;tiona awaken 3d womanhood Lab asatd, ahd to-day i ausTrcrins. They esk other and solemn nerional ouestions: what is influence Y n3ro Am Am acte Home 1 my si;I childhoDds thi future de end ters keeper? guardian? What dees rnandof my life and labor ? The mouther heart hears the tramp, tramp, tramp of little feet in far away vears to come. How shall the path be made for them straight? For love ia service. Lovo must lift humanity, potr, dwarfed humanity! to tha level of tbe true home. Slowly ia woman understanding btr rightful place in the wcrld. Slowly, tut surely. When great need comes there is a great soul to meet it. As true of woman's work to-day as of man's. When the rry of war sounded, and we gave our best beloved t j tho strife, there waa no lied Cross Association to carry its hnniane relief, but ther was a Clara Barton. When the crusade band stepped from the shelter of home to priy for the arunkard, they had no thought how to keep the drunkard from being made. Lo! a Fiances Wiliard has sst np the white ribbon banner in every state ot the broad United States, and a heroic band of God-fearing, humanity-loving women hold up their s -nal lights at 5,000 posts. And v here, in the weary struggle for bread so many poor tubmen are in want or overtaken with temptation, the motherly hand of the Woman's Christian Association extends its help. Aod tbe Women's exchanges. oases in the wilderness of cities open their rooms of cheer and instruction to the stranger and the igccrsnt, and make a market place for the sale of woman's work. For the poor, a Bciiin's Bower springs up, with Jennie Collins as its founder. Through aud through the cities are the homes for tho children, tbe rest places forworn out pilgrims, and the kindergartens where poverty forgets its lonelinej3 and childhood its sorrows. In Congross and Convention, leading women nsct to discuss great tociil questions, und it is no longer a xcarval. Conrches that -ffenld have felt desecrated if a woman's drvis touched the pulpit k'cor not many years no now (on Convention occasions at leaBt) bid her cordial welcome. Prison and ajylums know of her sisterly care; schools are made more practical by her counsel, and churches more charitable bv' her influence. Says one of the truest lead ers of thought: "Woman will make homelike e rery place she enters, and she will entr S7ry place on this round earth." FAS 1J I ON AS IT FL I BS. VeatlVHl Irf?46e-Skatft'i; Suit. As the season of masques and carnivals is at h;.nd tho following sueaiiens may be of value : A lovely dress for a blonde beauty U the lily bell, which is made of whito and green' silc and gauc-e. The bell blc3som is illustrated in the beautiful skirt, cut like the petal3 of tho ilower, the bodice forming the calyx, while over the arms are poin'.cu lily leaves in :;reen. Upon the head is a cap cut in lily shape, from which a gossamer gauze veil descends in graceful folds. A more gorgeor.8 drew for a brunette is made something after the same design in representation of the tiger lily, a bright orange color being used in place of white, the erTect en the petal being attained by embroidery. The Badminton dress for a young girl has a bkirt of white veiling edged yith a pleating of the eanie; above this is a network of string cut in ecallops and bound with gold braid; above tbe network large goc;8-quill feathers. ar arranged perpendicularly, scarf drapery of red surah. Two small battledores with a shnttleccck, are placed on the eide of skirt below the drapery. The bodice is also covered with focse-quill feathers, large bows of red ribbon form the sleeves, a battledore edged with white eathera is carried for ft fan, and a large tihnttltcock is worn on the head. A small brother and sister may wear the costumes of Piiette and Pierrot, whica are pretty, simple, and inexpensive. The girl's dres consists of a blue cashmere kirt, covered by a long blouce of white ca? hmere, cut in pointed tabs round the edge; it is trimmed with balls of blue chenille, rash of blue ribbon, and pleated rufi'e of white muslin. Hit of white, felt ornamented with chen lle bal'. Pierrot.s suit is entirely of white cashmsre, ornamented with blue balls at the side TheSavoyard suit for a bey has breeches of red velvet; blouse of white linen, with red embroidered braces and gilt waist band; cravat of white silk. Hat of green felt, with gold cord tied around the crown, and two feathers stuck under the cord at the side. Blue loth cloak carried over the arm. A fair-haired lad can wear the costume of a Florentine page to advantage. This shows a doublet in the black Arcadia vel ve teen, finished at the bottom with a falling pnff of striped red and black silk, and having close fitting sleeves, completed at the wrists by puffs of white nainsook. At the shoulders are pointed epaulets of velvet, from underneath which fall long sleeves of puff-colored silk, cut in leaf-points st the edge. Belt of pnü leather, fastened with a buckle and sustaining a silver dagger. Broad white nainsook collar and good necklace and pendant. Silk trunk and hose, the left legj ttriped red and black and the red gold color. Pointed shoes of buff leather. Skull cop of gold-col-oied satin, bordered with red. Mandolin ornamented with red ribbon. HX novel and curious costume for a fancy -drees party was recently made for a your-g i&dy who planned the details of the toilet herself. The dress represented the Soar - sons, was read short and of tho richest quality cf atin. The skirt was divided into four

The next panel, representing aummer, was male of pales, blue, shot with gold, and adorned with loveliest roses-with fringe of pendsnt straw berries. The next division, for autumn, showed a d-ep ruby panel decorated with apricot, -vhite and purple grape with fringe cf feathery clematis. For winter the panel waa of silver-grey satin, with snowUakescf chenille covered with cut crystals and holly-berries covered with a thin vttrtficaiion resembling frot and ice. Tne bodice was a clcse-xittir.g Jersey of giitterti g o'd cloth, muare in the neck and sleeveless. The diiidem worn above the fair hat, visa composed of an odd family of young robin e, buttfrilies, humming birds and ano wifus, thu3 carrying out the different points of the drees itself. kat:ng u n. Uppers Bazsr says: loesses for tbe ekating season are made of light cloth with ery slight draperies, and re trimrxed with fur or with the lontleeced plnh. that imitates fur. The plaiii lady's cloth is made with a house-maid skirt that has tucks three inches wide from the hips down all around to within ten inches of the fcot, where it is bordered either with mosy plush or elee with beaver or seal-skin fur. The basque is short nnd round on the htI8, and has a broad band of the furaround it, also on the collar and sleeve?. Velveteen is also used with excellent etfect for youn:j gjris' seating suite; for instance, the plain fi- red skirt of dark red velveteen has tdx r: ws of black Hercules braid around it; this bra'd is an inch and a fourth wide, and on its upper edo is a curled row of narrower DiaiC, lhe over-diess ia a long undraied Laiment with blscfc Astrakhan vest in a single piae Lown as the Breton vest, and theie is a sn ail made-up lur covered head nf the hBimai placed each side of the back, where the fullness of the back ia added to the waist. A fur turban and a soft Mat muff, s-isrended by a velvet cord around tbo neck, also have these animals heads for ornament. A bine serge costume for a young girl in short drestes consists of a kilt skirt laid in wide pleats, and a jacket that is pointed In front and short behind ; there is a cealkin border on this jacket, and the Ugh Polish csp is also of seal skin. Gray krimmcr on a green cljth dress is very effective; the vest is of krimmer, and the boxpleated Ekirt is first tccked across, then narrowly edged with gray krimmer. Felt Langtry turbans used when skating are trimmed with a handkerchief of gay Scotch plaid satin, adjusted to have the four corners point upward like wings, A Ic5 redingote oZ red or bine cloth, and a felt turban to matoh.with fur trimmings for both, aie useful to skaters because tbey ars also suitable for other occasions. Any cloth ccstume that is suitable for the street is also appropriate frr skatiBg, bnt these made on purpcte for the ice usually have gayer coloring, and are more picturesque in design. There are pretty poke bonnets for skaters made of brown or red velvet, with fur of becoming color facing the brim, which may bn pinched into a point er ehe turned back like revers, and a three cornered opening bo left at the top. Just inside of this opening, leaning toward the crown, is a rosette of gilt galleon with loops and pointed ends, and this is the only trimming. Long dard tan coloied gloves, high buttoned shoes, a red cloth Balmoral skirt, and black, dark brown, or blue hosiery complete the skater's costume. Fash Ion In Uoutehold Art Clara De Vcre writes entertainingly in the Comrnerciai-Uaiiette cf various decorative lanciee: Among the desirable articles of household decoration none give more tcno to an interior than the bronzes, especially when the deaigus combine not only elegenco, but utility, as i3 notably the case in the recent importations of Vienna pron.es, among the many fine specimens of which may be mentioned n hat stand, in whicii three tali hal ber ds, stacked in a group, supported a shield, from whose shining surfaco projected a mailed hand holding aloft a mace, while from thi3 formidable weapon springs tbe body of a graceful lamp, the whole design being wrought in white metal, superbly burnished and engraved in bold relief, the striking e Meets of the entire structure being seen to its greatest advantage in tcrne spacious, cak-panelei hall. An armorial table, suitable alco for a hall, has a shield shaped top of burnished white metal, the Haid for the coat of arms being in red and green plush; the legs of the table are fx chaber axes in steel and white metal crorStd by ancient swords. Mace and chain pendants hang from the sides of the tables, Tfhioii show high relief embocsiug owarl-ike emblems. An umbrella stand for a ball furnished in maint styl i composed of an immense Roman steer torn finsly palisbed and lined with bras-., and so curved aud treated as to represent n fabulous monster hsh with hiad, Cns and tail cf carved walnut, tha x-ide opon mouth lined with bras, being tha reccptaclo for the umbrella. A charming novelty i3 a standard epergno of gold bronre End Venetian glass about üve feet in height; th: -iower receiver, a vase ol lilac-tinted glass, besuti felly modslsd with i!enr-ds-li3 Generation in high relief. A second epernc is composed of crEtai bamboo ahjtpGi and cut in a bamboo dt3ign, tho intsglio cutting hz'mg very sharp, low and clear; ths hclIe,, cut in a 3ilY8r bronze standard, represents a si!V8r pica branch with conus end iicttering birds. Among ether odd sii73r bones is a perfums holder representing a crotrin :cock; on removing its head the ghis rjcttle aod stopper appears. A huge snail, held by a fairy holding a wand, conceals an inkstand in iis polished interior. Another rjicrming inkstand is hidden in the head of a dahi"c, Mttie terrier running at full speed. A very handsome hanging ornament f er r-alls is a large quiver with bow and arrorra In geld and silver bron?ei, which, whon ülled with growing f3rn3, is uncommonly picturecque. Endless ingenuity seems to be exercized in the naming of calenders. A 7er7 substantial one, suitable for a library, ia competed of a heavy r quare of leather, surrounded by a circle of perforations through which the dates of tbe month are scan, which together with tha name of the months are painted on in visit la cards. Springing front the base of the calendar are charmingly painted eprav3 al ccrooors. while above in ornamental text is th motto: "Tbc etarry guide of the year," and below the suggestive words. ' One little month." For the same room vould be appropriate a handsome colonial tePovrs covered with crimson plush, with the inside embroidered in geometric f gures in gold ihre o J nnd crimson siJk, whila tbe ends of the bellows are thickly studded with ornanu nral-headed brasa nail?. Among naw portieres on exhibition at the Decorative Art Booms in :rew York isn magnificent drr.pery of fine old gold satln,on which is embroidered in crewels a great branch of horse chestnuts, treated in s manner so realistic as to fairly hold the mirror up to natura in all the glory of her autumnal colors. This bit of drapery seen under gaslight, with the deep shade of golden brown plush radiating gleams of gold, soft depths of bronze, elusive hints of greens and yeilow3, the effect is dazzling and superb. Another poriiere is made of rich, creamy silk sheeting, traversed at certain intervals by cross bars of amber velvet, interlaced with tall chj7;aathemum3 in full bloorn,the tints of ths blossoms varying from pole pink and yellew to passionate purpte. A third portiere of pale yellow silk canvas shows a conventionalized peony design, the foUage outlined in Kensington stitch, while the large single-petsled blctsoms aro wrought ia pink silk in the close tapestry stitch. Charming essel draperies are m:de cf Chiua silk; anexqniiite example of this nevridea is made of pure white eiik. the ends embroidered in open disks, each dki disclosing a flower against a pnmicse background, wbile the finishing touch is &iven by a deo frinre cf the raveled white ?ilk. lle:'kt i Lera and there by knote cf fddea üoss.
