The March Designer.

Spring’s coming is anticipated in The Designer for March, in which toilettes and millinery appropriate for this most beautiful season of the year are becomingly set forth in dainty colors ns well as in black and white. Of great practical value are the “Lessons in Millinery” and “Points on Dressmaking,” and scarcely less so are “Helps Along the Way,” “Etiquette Hints,” “In Motherland,” “Toilet Table Chat,” and “The Kitchen Kingdom.” The short stories of this month are “sisters,” by Sarah Norcliffe Cleghorn, and “Daisy Welling’s Enterprise,” by Laura J. Rittenhouse. The suggested entertainments are “Love in Waiting,” a parlor commedietta by Stella G. Florence,” “In Honor of St. Patrick’s Day,” by Sarah W. Landes. “A Kitchen Shower,” by Maud Abbott, and “A Handkerchief Bazaur,” by Valentine March. Short articles of merit are “Duties and Disillusions,” by Stilletta Peyton Burke, “Profitable Pursuits for Women,” by Annetta HallidayAntona,” “How I am Training My Boy,” by Edna Best Crawford, and “When a Woman Wills,” by A. S. Atkinson, M. D. Dr. Sarah A. FrenchBattey contributes three daintily illustrated pages on “Dancing as an Exercise.” Landon Knight presents “A Unique Cat Home” in a very attractive light, while Mary Kilsyth writes of “Windows and Window Seats” “What Women are Doing” “Doilies in Filmy Lace” shows some beautiful pieces of fancy work, and many clever poems for old and young are given in “Selections for the Reci tationist.” “Floriculture” and “Book Notes,” also an illustrated article on “Lingerie,” are likewise t > be found in this month’s Designer.
