To women it is twice gratifying aj evidencs of the high attain Trent a of one of their sex and of ti recognition of women by men ai CD-l&barere. Au Inquitoua practice has just been discovered in Kan FrancUcD which should receive eoine attention from Women's Foreign Jitiorary Societies. It ie asserted on good authority that white moibers have been giving and Rellins their illegitimate girl babies to Chic 83 speculators who ship them to Chita where they are kept until twelve y tars old and then sold to rich Chinamen lor larpe tarns. At the Southern Caataaqu Assembly, which will open on next Tuesday at Lake de Funiak, Fla., Professor Emma P. Ewins, to widely known as President of batn the Chicago and Cbatauqua Cooking Schoili, abd Professor of Domestic Economy in tiie low a Agricultural College, will conduct a 11 ret clats school of cookery. Miss Sa M. Eirch, whose art woTt is a feature of Ciintauoua, assisted by several excellent artis'.s, will have charge of the art school. The annual meeting of the Western Association cf Collcg ate Alumnae was held at Chicago, Jan, 31st. This association is co-u-toted of women graduates of the following thirteen colleges: Oberlin, Cornell, Vassar, üichijran, Wisconsin, Boston, Smith, Weltesloy, institute cf Technology, Wesley an, sjracuie, Kansas, and North western. A ilcs: interesting and eventful cession was keld. It was decided that the association bould sead a memorial to Johns Iiopxins llnivenity, asking that its advantage! for advanced and first graduate study ba opened to well-prt pared worsen etudetiti. It ww also refolved that n petition thauld be 9 jt io the legislature of Illinois asking that a ri form school for girl) should be establishel. Ibe association decided that its topics far study during tbe cocaine year should h: "Higher and Industrial Education." 'Ue ormatory Education. "Art Study," "Ujedncatiou," and ' Women in the Prj'eaThe meeting of the Indianapolis E-jial Eutlrage Society cn last Monday was one of i cu'r interest. It was in the nature of an experience meeting, only that very little personal experience was related, A number of ladies gave their individual reasons for wanting to vote. The general expras3ion Indicated careful study of tne political position of women, earnest thought and broad views. There was no arraignment of the tjrant man, no rehersing of personal grievances, and very little was said about how the ballot would bs used by women. Women are ccrning to regard the ballot as something more than an agency to carry specified measures, and to fee that no one has a right to question what they will do with it. The chief and strongest reasons why women want the ballot as expressed by this representative assemblage of rehned and intelligent ladies, of whom many are prominent in social and philanthropic circles, are: First, because it belongs to them, as the means through which the inherent rigit of re'f government it exercised, and a a by virtue o! tbe spirit and fundamental priuei pl of cur republican Institutions. Second, localise men and women represent a duality of forces distinct and dillorent, two forces whose union through mi nil nature and all civilization are e3eatial to emotion Third, localise women need the ballot as means of protection, education and growth. Ifciisruuch as political privileges, responsibility and and power have given the average Arxerican man a finer, higher development than that possessed by the average man of any other nation, it is held that the same privileges, responsibility and power would develop a stronger, broader type of voiuanfood. A bent the time that tbe palatial convent CilUd S.ewart'a Hotel for II isines and Woking Women was declared a fa lure, bscenre, according to Judre Hilton, thjae wbcm it was designed to benefit would not use and could not appreciate its advantages, bot really because its ngoious rule3 were intuQViatle to fiesh and blood women, Mrs, barah H. I-epgett opened a boarding house Jri business women at No. 01 CUutou l'iace, Kew York. A report or whs t has been accomplished during tbe term of eix jears Uom May I, ISTs to May 1. 1SSI. throngh this experimeot has ben publisned by Mra.lgett. and merits the attention of thoee interested in tbe welfare of the unprotected women workers of cities. He nonse accommodated thirty boardrs, who wer charged l a week, which Incla led all the privileges of the housn. The boose was tilled at once, älü at the expha:ion of a year it was considered expedient to remove to No. X) Clintoa place, a thirty-seven-roam honte; then the prices were graded from $3 7tf to $1 50 per week, according to location of rooms, and a slightly greater charge for sieg'e rooms. Transient boarder are now alstiarcomoco Jated at very low rates. All c'aftesof workingwomen, except domestics, are received, lleferences are required, and i.o restraints fnrtber than those neces;sry in a veil regulated hoctehold are Imposed. No religions servicfs are held, and in principle the boue is strictly unsectarian. With reference to the barmony among the inn ales of her house, Mrs L9ggett bears testimony that it is a surprise to her that so largs a family should live so intimately and so tlrjMnfly. She says: la justice it ray hoarders I must attribute this consideration for each other not so much to my disciuri gernent at all times of the voice of goip and disccrd as to the character cf the workiogwomen themselves. Indeed, 1 can not testify too strongly to their many noble attributes; to their hwoic patience, to their virtue in face of the greatest coaetaut exposere to temptation, and to their hopeful endurance of labor, solitude and trials cf which their more fortunate sUters can form no true conception. To earn a resectable livelihood in a crowded metropolis, where eickiiew, tic and pjejndice are onstantiy larking in the shops, in the factories an i in tse tchcols. Is an achievement of whicn women may feed justly procd, and it appeals not ao much to tho pity as to the admiration of mankind and to a generous public spirit in ibis city."

No appeal is mads in Mrs Leggett'a report fcr aid, but having given eo so freely of her Mrrire to d momtrate. the need and practicability cf a place wfcere women workers can find home comforts and reäcemenii withtD ther means, it is to be boped tha. seme pLihmthropiat of niesns may r moved to aitiet in the continuance and extension of her ncble work. A horre with a aimiiar purpose ha ben runf d In fc'an Fracci?co by the Girls' Union. Tb-Call of that city taye: The houie contaics aboat twenty roomi. but as the resident director, Mrs. Kinney, expreieed it, "they brood more than they rrcf," as a great many women v, bo bde eli ewhere take tbelr meals at the I'nion. As the diaectors have no wish to make money, but rrerely to cover expenses, Xazj are able to lornisb loams and board at nom a lower i rates than any fecocd-ciasa hotel. The trices racge from hfteen to twenty dollars a month, the latter being the very highest demand. This includes all the comforts of a home lights, fires, hot or cold bathing, the use of the parlors and library. Once a month a reception is given, which all the directors mace a point cf attending, that they make the acquaintance of the inmates and assist thera by advics and counsel, or, bv discovering their capabilities, Ude their itUcence in finding them employment. Thfse receptions are as informal as possible. There is little mnsic. a little reading, a good deal cf conversation, and light refreshments. They mcst be very interesting, too, for the Home has neither creed nor nationality, and every resident seems to have a different employment. The prefent inmates are a muiu- teacher, a type writer, a telegraph operator, a governess, a thort-band writer, three trained nuraf s, with diplomas from medical college-! in Ilbode Island, Cleveland aod Chicago, a dressmaker and a cntter and fitter. With such a diversity cf talent, one can imagine what bright evenings they cou'd spend together, as each could contribute so maay original ideas or pleasant memories of their previous life. If they wish to go to theater, lecture or concert in the evening, two or three go together, so they are quite independent cf etcoit, andere able to enjoy a rieat many amusements which they could not secure if they were living alor.e in board-irc-hocter. Of c;ure the residents are constantly changing. Tbev fiud employment in the couLtry sometimes, and sometimes prefer to live nearer their wcrx in tbe city, though when tbey hate onc9 boarded at the Union they generally like to go there for lunch or dinner, as it is so much more shthered aud bciLtlifce than restaurant life. When they are out of employment they go directly tark, arjd if tbey are out cf tnoaey rs well, no charge is mvJe for tha room, and a temporary losn Is advanced, which they rpay when they are ab!e Sometimes there are Cve or eix waiting In this way for w jrk. cd. in consequence of this it is p'oposs t to open an industrial dpixtmant, where orders will l received for embroidery, uaderclothicg, etc. The fpint cf the I'nion is topwa every bread winnicg and a'jiring girl, whataver tie lire of her Incest endeavor, tha protection and friendly interest that her ca?e requires; aodalooto plsc pitrons of stilled and domestic industries in ths way ot apply with the best telf-supporting cUsss of our sex; to mako every Chr stiaa elfurt in behalf of the young girls of this city, aid by tiding th?m ovr times cf enforce 1 Idierjes ami spc;al temntatioas, save them to a trne and pure womanbeod." Training Nurse. The following paper prepared by Mifs Travers, late Superintendent of the Xcdiana roll j Training School for Nurses was read by her successor, Miss Hunt, at the meeting of the Marion County Agricultural Sacisty, Jan. 31.: Good nursing is as indispensable in illness as proper medical attention. (Jood nursing means intelligent work. A knowledge of the best methods of caring for the patient. This intelligence can only be obtained by proper instruction and practical experience at tbe bedside. And this instruction ths training school gives. Tne kno wedge of a trained nnrse is the result of a two years' study nnde icompetei.t tetcberj and constant prentice. Tbe first training school in this country was established in 1573. in connection with Bellevue Hospital New Ycrk. A committee frcm the State Charities Aid Society, wis sent to London, England to study the workings of Florence Xightingak's School, connected with SL Thomas Hospital. They secured a trained nurse Sister Helen, (of an Episcopal eisterhocd). She came to Bellevue and stayed nntil the E:hool was fully established. The first class gradra'ed but six. The cchool cow consists of sixty-four pupil nurses, and many are waiting for admittance. Sit es then have been founded the Boston Training School, the Connecticut Training Schools, New York Hospital Training School, Bro iklyn Trninir.g Schoo', Mount Sicet, Blackwells Island in Ntw York, schools in Chicago, Washington, Baltimore, PnilaJelphia, New Orleans and Indianapolis. Every year one or two are added to tne lUt. The applicants for admission to the training school must be preferably between t.veo-ty-five and thirty ers of age, of mediuai height and size and possess a good common icbocl education. Thev must present certificates of good character, tennd health and physical ripa: ity for the duties of a nurse. After approval they will be received for one month on probation, during which time tbey will be boarded an (4 lodged but will receive nn other compensation. If they are retained they sign an agreement to remain in the school and sobject themselves to tbe rules of ibe school a d of the hospital for two y.ars frmi cVe of admission to school. For the first y ar a m tnthly allowai.ee of $3. and for the eecond sl2. is given in our school. Boom, board and wahlDg are furnished without charge, and in illoe medical attention wiil be furnished by the school. Thty are required to wear uniform of wash material, white cap and apron. They are instructed in dressing blisters burns, nicer and wounds, preparation and application of fomentations, p jultices, cup, leeches and cl minor dresilarnanasmeit of helples patients, making their bed, changing their clothing, giving baths ia b-d. prevention and treatment of bedsore, the best method of friction to body andexsremtties, tandagirg, making bandages and lining tt lints, best method of supplying fresh air and cf warming room?, of certain emergencies and how to treat them, preparation of and serving cf food, what food should hi given and what not given in certain diseases. As in typhoid fever, and other diseases of the towels, a milk diet is required. This will be taken up in the stomach, leaving no absorption to take place in intestines, aid so giving the already weakened organs rest. They are taught that eggs lot a sick person should cither be given raw or boiled vary soft. AJso that a patient suffering with chill, from any cause, can be relieved aod chill may be shortened by artidcial heat, as hot bricxj, irons, etc., that in fevers the head needs to bs kept cool and feet trsra. that in severe ctst of tickneo, where a pstient may bs in bed for a long time, heel?, toes, ankles, back, shoulder, end even

read and ears ne. J constant attention to prevent be i sores. LegsshouH be s-ppcrte 1 by means of pads, so the neols are free fron Us bed All parw in contact with the b l whore there is prsire. should be ru i with something to harden the surface, a a -cohol.

She emphatically learns that sick: people d'j not need company unless the doctor thinks bet If very tick they do not need to know what is go'ng on outside of their own roonu la ventilating the sick room where it can not be done from an a ljoinin room, I mean by leaving doors and windows open in adjoining room, gettinz air entirelv changed, closing them and then opening the deer into sick room, he:a this cannot be dooe, cover patient, h:id and all, open wicdows and coors to there will be a god d -aft through the room. The air wiil be entirely charged in lees than a minute; close all. leave patient covered for a f-hort time, t ntil air is warnaul Tbi3 may be done sev erai times through the day, twice at lea? Tte patient will be more apt to sleep after it ie doi e and natural sleep is what we want in tbe sickroom. They also learn that chlldrea seed pur9 air, that their sleeping rooms and playing rooms need M be well ventilated and on the sunny side of tbe house, do not shut tbe sun out of any living room. That children need out-door exercise, 3hould be taken out every day after they are one month old. I f the weatber is very old thev should be protected with üannels and kept out hat a short time. Children so treated are less susceptible to cold and little disturbances; and rememoer tbe little i, Irl does not require irss exercise than the little boy. They learn to recognise the f rst sio o! Illness in children. In very young, a restless night, crying or wakening with as -roam, may prefer to be quiet and lie in nurses' lap, takes littla interest In its toys, which usually give it delight. Much can be learned from the criea of the joung child. II the bab8 is hungry ths cries are preceedei by a irenonitcry grunt, turning of the head from side to side as if in search of nourishment which failing to find, it gives vent to tbe disappointment and gi ief In crying. The cry of pain is accompanied with more or less contraction of features and limbs. The pa'n nay be in paroxysms. The crv will last while there is pain. When the nurse is convinced there 13 pain she must try to rind in which o: the three sreat cavities of the body tfce rain i9 locate i. If in the abdomen, the cry wiil be accompanied by wrigqling cf the body, drawing up of the legs and clinching of the fists. If in the chest, and the lungs and air passages are inflamed, the cry is at tha time of coughing or after. If in tbe head, and cones from diseased brain, the child civee one sharp, shrill shriek. Children cften cry long and loud with pain in their car. Hot flannel held to the ear may eae this. Do not uss a poultice, and do not drop anything into thi ear without the doctor's order, and not inio the eye. And in ttuubtc-s of the brain do not rock the child, if nectary walk thv tloor will; it but do not rock it When child is feverish, a warm bath carefully given, to it will not be chilled, orten relieves it io it will 'rop asleep to wake up very much refreche i Do not neglect to give a feverish child, or cne who does not ask for it water, a testpo'jiiful, or less .ti short intervals, 3 lips ihculd l a kept Lioi3t. Do not give a feveriih blio a solid f "" J without the doctor's permission. Milsiath9 diet given in snia'.l quantity, and at shor; intervals. Milk thrown up sometime after it is taken sooui oecur-ild, if not, itshow3 dipeeticn is impared. Tno eas'.ric jaic-s & !s on it and curd'es it in th3 beluniug o' diKfMicn. They are taught, in the re of patient with messes, thht t-e lungs and air pas?sjs are Li danN?r of intiamatioa, that drafts of eir ehou'd ie avoi7ad. tjat t'aa rcora shenid be kept at an eveateaiperatu:, about 70 F., patient must b'i kept warm, eyep protected .Vom strong lUbt, and not be ailcwed to ieae tha room for several oays after they feel entirely we'd. In scarlet fever the same genera! directions in regard to caro apainst exposure. Ventilation must not b9 forgotten, pure air i very necessary to dilute the poisoned air cf tbe room, which is loaded with germs of the disease. Any teeling of chill the nurse must guard against, even three or four weeks after the child is first taken sick. Tne child cught not to leave the house for six weeks. Equal c.i re should be taken of the mild cases, as the dreadrd complication dropsy, occurs even more frequently after the mild cases. Diphtheria needs the same careful nursing Precaution hou Id bn used in all three a regards contagion. Especial care should be used in this. The discharge from the nose and throat are loaded with the infectious gerne s. Old muslin should be ued for these discbarges, which should be immediately burred. She is also tanght that in dis?ass of thnervous system, epecialiv of the brain, there is increased susceptibility t) light and sound, 'therefore the room snould be kept quiet and d;ik. No one should be admitted without the doctor's order excepting nurse and doctor. A child should be moved as little as possible, ard when necessary very gently. No quick or BU'iden movement or load" voice stould be allowed in tho room. Try to find out what things disturb the child, ana avo;d them if possibia. Convulsions are to be feared and may be prevented by the above treatment. Tbey learn that greot care must be ta!n in feeding unconscious patient", to rous-s them if possible by moistening thtir lips or pesking to them, before putting anything in their rrouth, and be sure they swallow it before leaving them, as they may choke badly on it if it is lett in their mouth. She is taught to carry oat the doctor's ordeis, whether homeopathic, ccUctic or old school. Nothing in their trainir prevents them from serving the one, as well as the other. She is impressed with tne knowledge tbat perfect clfanünese, catefnl diet, ont-icor air, cheerful attendants and mt.'ul quiet are indispensable in the sick room. With this knowledge and much more she gr es forth as an able assistant to the physician and surgeon, with an honorable profession aa well us a lucrative o ne. Art Nates, HKR STUDIO.

Munlcipnl Rnd Presidential SafTrae. lU.:nry D. Macawcllln Woman's Journal. J (1) The right of tbe State legislatures to give woman suürage Vy statute in inun!cipal elections is 1 ased cn tne fact tbat manicipil chsrttrs are sredel acts of legislation cwferringen the inhabitants of certain local tics certain powers, and creating certain local ciS es net named specifically in (be State Constitution. They are like railroad charter?, manufacturing charters, etc., and have nothing to do with the machinery of the State Government. Tbe limitation of surlrege by tbe word "male'' in the State Constitution applies only to State oi'icers Lamed and created by the State Constitution. Just as a woman holds stock in a railread cr manufacturing corporation has a cemmon-iaw right tu vote on her etocs iu the choice of chicere and control of the corpora'.icn, in the alienee of legislation to the contrary, to has ihe Legislature a right to grant to women who are stockholocr3 in the town or city holding a special charter, a right to vote in ibe aiTairscf that town or city in which they are interested. This right ci the Legislature ha3 Peen recognized by tbe extension of tchcol suffrage to women in twelve States by the Ißis!atnres, notwithstanding tne word male lestricts the euilrage in each ot those States so far as Stat 3 olhcers and elections go. It has also been conceded by many tpecial Legislative acts giving woni. as property owners a right to vote on local qutstions of interest, a?, for instance, in New Yoik State, on the question of est&bliehicg water-works, on which women have been empowered to vote and have vot?d. There is DOiioestion as to the right of tbe Legislature io give wemsa a vote in local elections. - The right of the Legislature to give weinen sutfrage for Presidential electors is outside of and sopericr to the S'a'e Constitution. It is conferred by the United Shfea Ct institution 'the Supreme law of the laud, sny thing m State Constitutions to the contrary notwithstanding) Article L Sec 1, p. 2, expressly says: "Each State shall appoint, in such manner as the State Legislature mey direct, the electors" for President 8iid Vice President. Formerly, in several States, the Legis'ature appointed the Presidential electors by a vote of both Houses in joint session not giving the people any vote on the question. It is now customary to cVie ate tbe power to the men who vote for the S'ate ouicers. Bat this f ;!i be res :- htted or recall! by ths Legislatures. A ri-a for rntrlotiT Service.

Personally, I should deplore a party division in the Serate on this question, but I should much more deplore .t division that one might call sectional or geographical. This brings me to the primary object of this article. There ;ire rr;tny members of the Natlotat CcEgiess wborta'ly deem worran suffxaze :is much a form of Northern fanaticism u abolition formerly was. The truth is that transformations of opinion, custom and ideal are just now going forward in the South more rapidly than in the North; the noyelty of recognition in the industrial world :.nd in education :.l pl.tns is i testation I strong pleasure to Southern

Miss Corson says: ''In broilinc: all meats remember that the surface should not be cut cr broken any more tb m is aC3olulely necessary; that the meat should be expoed to a clear, ouick fire close enough to sear the curface without burning, in oider to con5ne all its jaiccs, If it is approached slowly to a poor fire, or seasoned before it is cooke J. it will be ccmparatively dry and tasteless, as both cf these processes are useful only to extract and waste those precious juices which contain nearly ell th.9 nourishing properties of the meat. To broi a mutton chop nicely, rub the bars of the gridiron smooth and then grease them slightly; lay on the chops and put the gridiron over a hot fire. If the tire i3 not clear, throw a taLd'ul o!si.lt into it io clear it. Broil the clops turn ing them frequently so that they in rot burn, until they ate done to the required decree. Put them on a hot dish, season them lightly with a little butter, pspper and salt, and if you desire it, serve with Daked rotatces." W. Maitien Williams in the Popular Science Monthly cf January says of SDIMF.N'rS, "cayenne pepper may be selected as a typ ca! example of a condiment properly eo called. Mustard is a food and condiment ccmbiEed; this is the case with some others. Carry powders are mixtures of very potent condiments with more or less of farinaceocs materials, and sulphur compounds, which, like the oil of mustard, of onions, garlic, etc., may have a certain amount of nutritive value. The mere condiment is a stimulating drcs that does its work directly upon the inner lining of the stomach, by exciting it to increased and abnormal activity, A dyspeptic may obtain immediate relief by using cayenne pepper. AnioDg the advertised patent medicines is a pill bearing the very ominois name of it3 compounder, the active constituent of which is cayenne. Great relief aud temporary comfort are commonly obtained by usin it as a dinner pill. If thus ucd enly as a temporal remedy for au scute and temporary, or exceptional, attack of indigestion, all is well, but the cayenne, whetbtr ttken in pills or dusted over the feed cr stewed with it in curri3 or anv otberw.iee. is one of the most cruel of slow pohonä when taken habitually. Thousand of peer wretches are crawling miserably tov.ard their erases, the victims of tbe multitude of rxa'sdies of both body and mind that are connected with chronic, incurable dyspepsia, all brought about by the habitual use of cayenne and its condlmental cousins. The usual history cf these victims i? that tLey togan by overfeeding, took the condiment to force tbe stomach to do more than its healthful amcunt of work, using but a little at first. Then the stomaoh became tele-rant of this little, and demanded more; than more, and rao'e, and more, nntil at lapt in animation, liberation, torpidity, and finally tbe death cf tbe'digeative,' powers, acccmpanied with all tbat long train of miseries to which I have referred."

Doctors talk cf the nerebpr of cubic feet of space in schools, ruann factories, ec , necessary for each penon. Th6 fact is, that in a large, tjpht, occupied room, the air is robbed of its c sygen, and loaded with carbonic acid and diseasing emanations, while In the smallest cne tie air may be kept pure by elective ventilation. The heated bre&th which rises must find ex!t Freh air will rush In to take its place. A bed-room window lowered at the tcp. mates another opening at the centre.

In the matter of winter clothing women dress much more sensibly than they did thirty years ego. Then women s apple mented their thin muslin underwear of the summer with clumsy, heavy quilted skirts and thick dresses f or protection against cold. Gradually, light yet warm tlannel skirts and home-made vests and drawers of canton IJannel or of all wool came into fashion through the persistent recomendation of the doctors and the strong-minded. The molern, warm, soft, well made, whole woven under garments are avast improvement and conducive to health and coniforL The separate vest and drawers haye to a certain extent given place to the combination or union Euits which though ratter expensive to bsgin with are very satisfactory in wear. A great improvement has been liiade in the shape and manufacture since they were first introduced , and wo:l garments may be expected to rival silk in beauty as it is supericr in healthful inUuence. A NEW WOOL MAT KCl Kh with a cotton back, possessing excellent specific qualities has bteu put on the market this winter. It has been re omraended by Jeadiog members of the medical profession in Europe, and phvsicians are introducing it in this country through Jaroi hygenic underwear company of Chfeigo. Tha gar aents made of this n aterial are all after measure and neat fitting, and are furnished in all sizes fcr ladies, gentlemen, and children. It is important tbat the body be fully protected from cold and sudden dampneu and chills, especially in this capricious climate, and every advance made in the methods of underwear manufacture is to bv hailed as an assistacce in the promotion cf health and lorgevity. THK LITTLE KtStAN .TACK tT is much used for dinner toilets, where elaborate evening dress is out of place. A costume with a jecket of this description is made of the fashionable velveteen and Ifcce cf the same color, a c'elicate elephant gray. The toilet i3 an unusually Jov'iy one, and can be used as a day reception dress also. The skirt is ot piay faille, edged with apinked out tlounce, and Is entirely covered with gray lace frilled into the waist and gracefully draped. A plaid velveteen tanel falls from the waist on each side and is drawn together like a curtain, half way down the skirt, with a passementerie band. The back drapery is cf velveteen; it is long, and is much puffed and looped. The Ituseian jacket is also of velveteen, just reaching the waist at the sides, and forming three long plaits at th back. In frcnt is a blouse plastron of lace Ihe collar is of velveteen, but the tieht elbow sleeves have a faille reverse, and a Jons jabot of gray lace. The whole toilet is in the tame delicate shade; the long Sued gloves, the silk stockings, and strapped kid sbces ere all of tbe elephant grayAn rccncmical fashion has recently come from France) of having movable waistcoats and cutfs to brighten tailor-made dresses, ar 1 give variety to tbe costume, For instance, a dress ot navy blse cloth is shown with abree sets of vests and culls. One is of navy blue velvet closely covered with slanting rows of silver braid; another is of white cloth edged with gold cord, and the last is cf plain coquelicot red yelvet, Petticoats in all shades of yellow, from straw to orange, are worn under black lace skirts, which continue to be as popular as ever. Ladies with chantilly lace 11 ounces atu "points" ttowed away have only to bring them forth and drape them over a si.'k oi eatin ct this favorite yellow hue to have cue oi the most becoming evening dresses. Crepe Usee, though, Is expensive, bscauae so often requiring renewal, so that real lacs, in spite of the first cost, 13 much more economical in the long run. It is a good plan to buy cheap tarletsne ruches, and baite them inside the ore pelisse, low enough down not to show. Thus placed, they protect tha crepe liese from crushiDg as well as from be ccming to-led by contact with tiie skin. Ostrich feathers also may be counted as an investment, sicce they are always in fashion, and when on hand reduce the cost of a new bonnet consideiably.
