A New York belle who has more rings than she can conveniently wear upon her lingers has introduced the custom of stringing them on a red cord and 'trauring them as a necklace.

A

marriage ceremony at one of the Providence church**, last week, waa delayed sixty minutes because of tbe •on-arrival of the contracting parties. This may not be without precedent but when, after waiting a long time, the morgan pealed out. "Ob, dear, what can *tbe matter be," the audience considered „t very apropos.

FANTASIES OF FASHION.

There is a disposition to revive the old-fashioned gathered skirt. Some of the reps in silks are so large that they are oal led ribs.

The newest bridal flowers are of lace, Muely wrought by machine. Curtains of fisherman's twine are now and likely to bo fashionable.

Waistcoats as separate garments area feature in English womon's dresses. A pretty fancy is to trim a black velvet hat with a single white bird.

Skirts ooutinuetogrow uiorebouflfant in tbe back and fuller at tbe sidos. As the fashion for untrimmed tight sleeve* has come in, over-cufls of white linen are again worn.

Among the latest freaks in jewelry are miniature imitations of kitchen utensils.

Terra-cotta silk handkerchiefs are worn in the outside pockets of cloth redingotos.

The fashions are making women brave. Home of them bavegotto the point of allowing mice to be placed on their bonnets.

TBI cupolas of velvet and plush and feathers which the ladles are now wearing are even worse than the Gainsborough hat.

A fashion has fallen among society people of New York of sending brides bouquets of flowers instead of more costly present*, am) the brides do not like it.

Tbe long silk and kid mits which are so much worn now were evidently di'sigued by soiueoue who had handsome rings to show.

Something new In nntflfe, more fauciful thsn useful. Is a cunningly devlswi birds' nest, the interior and the outer pdge of ficelle lace representing hsy or straw. In the center the heads of tiny birds are visible.

Out glass again figures prominently in attractive table ware. Slender chains are now employed to loop back window draperies.

Satin lamp-shades are adorned with dragons and other hideous beasts. Fringed napkins are preferred for the tea service, instead of a salver, at tea.

Floral decorations for tbe table are rapidly going out of style for dinner parties.

Mirrors are entirely ont of date in a drawing room, unless they act as the background of a cabinet.

Chiffoniers are not as high as formerly, and are made in woods to correspond with tbe usual furniture.

There is a great fancy at present for wickerwork chairs, which are either gilt, red, blue or tan color.

New upholstery for drawing-rooms shows very little wood work, the chairs and lounges being entirely covered with upholstery.

Tidies are to be Hope reeded by small squares of lace or muslin, or even darker material, securely fastened into the back of the chair.

Little crochet boat*, with silk sails, have taken tbe place of the little fluted paper dishes in which fruita were formerly served at fashionable luncheons.

The most stylish carpets and those for which there is the greatest demand are in dark shades and have small figures, and tbe more intricate the design the better.

For a useful home rug, purchase a sheepskin and wash it thoroughly in boiling sosp-suda, aud when dry comb carefully, and an excellent rug is msde for the foot of the staifs, the fireplace, etc.

Large rooms, so fashion decrees, shall no longer be lighted with center chandeliers, but by means of upright pillars placed in the corner of the room, from which innumerable gas lights gleam.

LITTLE SERMONS.

The railing of across woman, like the railing of a garden, keeps people at a distance.

It is sad but true that we can silence our conscience easier than our desires.

Few men can add much to the teachings of the Bible, but a great many men make the attempt.

It is a strange phase of human nature that the most excellent ad vice is the least likely to be heeded.

He who selects his companions with care, is likely to make unto himself laitbful friends.

The mind and memory are more sharply exercised in comprehending another man's things than our own.

A handaonie woman pleases the eye but a good woman plaeses tbe heart. Tbe one is a jewel, the other atreasuro.

If a man has good health it is unfair for him to ask the Lord to give him anything else, because he ought to get it for himself.

He who swims securely down the streem of self-confidence, is in danger of boing drdwned in the whirlpool of presumption.

The first of all virtues is innocence the next is modesty. If- we banish modesty out of the world, she carries away half the virtue thai is in it.

Whenever we find a man who enjoys wide popularity, we may be assured, however bad his reputation may be that be has some good qualities in an eminent degree.

Dr. Johnson said that the happiest life was that of a mail of business, with some literary pursuits for his amusement, and that, in general, no one could be virturfus or happy who. was not occupied with some duties.
