For and About Women.

" THE PIE HIS MOTHER MABE. I’m mlatrece of a pretty boose 5 h And often do I try To make my worthy, faithful spouse A dainty apple pie; Bnt when the' pie is nicely dono, • With crisp and tend er crust, My worthy hush nd, half in fun, Gives me a gentle thrust, By saying, “You cook wall, Irene, without good Bridset*s aid: But oh! my dear, you should have seen The pie my mother made.” Tisjust the same when I make bread; Upon my ear doth fall No praise to make my cheek blush red, His mother gets it aU. v But then it comforts me to see *_ Him gobble what I make; Whether an apple pie it be, Or loaf of bread, or cake. ladies’ collars are to turn down. Frogs of braid or of passementlere x will trim basques to suits. Sateen made of cotton is so well prlntel that it looks like hand-paint-ing. Dog collars made of small scarlet flowers are effectively worn with costumes of black surah and Spanish lace. The latest novelty in pocket handkerchiefs is to have the owner’s autograph copied iu embroidery upon one corner. Lawn handkerchiefs with blue or pink borders are often worn around the neck in place of collars, the ends tucked in the folds of the surplice waist. ; The latest style of new shoe has a heel of the dice-box ,order, poetically called Louis Quinze, and has a lattice work of straps across the instep. • Tn artificial flowers there is a great vogue soy cut silk blossoms, the bluebell, geranium, hyacinth and polyanthus, being all reproduced in this manner. Pink Gingham has been worn to such an extent in London that the good-natured Princess of Wales has been forced to fly to the rescue and wear blue. Women all over the country have contracted the habit of killing tramps by shooting them. If this feminine pastime is not discouraged we* 7 shall very soon be afflicted with a- “corner” in tramps. Annie Louise Cary seems to have really left the stage with the intention of never returning to it. When she first said so, it was thought that an increase of pay would change her mind, or that she aimed at some incidental advertising, but she steadfastly refuses to make any engagement for next season on any terms.
