"WOMAN" AND DOME.

MOTHER'S DUTY IN SELECTING A COLLEGE FOR HER SON.

Braddoa and Xn. Henry Wood-Sen at a Womu't Befoge—-The Title Mmnying Crase—Bow to Make a Christmas Tree—Some Ciefal Hints.

An unwise woman is that mother then, who, for the sake of the name of any college or sappcsed superior facilities of learning, will let her boy go to one where the faculty toko their ease, Mid clear their conscie by calling the boys men, and making tl responsible only to themselves at the very time when they most needguidanceand command, where drinking and card playing are the fellow accomplishments of Greek and matKmrnitiw, or where the dangerous neighborhood of great and fashionable hotels renders those banquets possible in which the college youths make night hideous with their oollege yells, as the wino they drink goes to their weak young heads, and they fling about the dish**, word havoc, conduct themselves more like young brutes than young men, and get heme to their chambers in a state to wring the heart of any mother who has a heart in her body. Something more tt»an great advantages of education or of association are to be looked for hero by careful mothers. In almost every case the education of almost any collc-go will bo ample for all the purposes of life, and tho boy must bo known to be strong who shall bo trusted in the temptations of such colleges as thoso of which we speak temptations which, once yielded to, not only ruin tho soul, but tho body too.

Too many a son who linds himself before middle ago with a body good for little more, nerves and organs and strength broken up, has to thank for it, not hi* own wi or unvirtuous inclinations, but a mother who neglected to keep him narrowly in tho way of takin'j caro of himself, to inform herself as to his companions and pleasures, who was perhaps in herself neither a standard nor a beacon light for him, and who suffered him to aruuso himself with what turned out to bo a very danco of death. Let the mothers of tho moil ubout to come forward and talfo tho conduct of tho world in their hands look to it that thoso men, so far at thoir hearts and hands could do it, aro sound in soul and body and fit for their work.—Harper's Bazar.

Female Novelist*.

Mi-.'i Brniklou'a first great success was "Lady Audloy's Secret," published a few months after "East Lynne," which was tho first great success of Mrs. Henry Wood, says Tho Spectator. Roughly speaking, the books wero contemporauoous. I'ooplo road them together, and, perhaps not unnaturally, placed their authors in ono class, tho general tendency being, if wo remember ri^htlv. to put Mr a Henry Wood somowhat abovo Miss Braddort. pubsooucnt achievements of tho two writers failed lo justify this comparative estimate. As novel after novel came from Mrs. Henry Wood's pon, it cannot bo said that tier popularity with tho ordinary novel devourer, who simply wants a fow hours of imaginative excitement, showed any signs of diminution, and to him it was a matter of indifference whether tho excitement were provided by Miss Braddon or Mrs. Wood. Moro careful readers, however, noticed that whUo the novels of the former ware characterized by sustained fecundity of invention in the matter, and increasing graco and finish In tho manner, thooe of tho latter displayed a monotony of structure which spoko of narrowness of inventive resource, —»i.~~ «, po. tain at u... w^r,^ all hgf fcqgi jr^[kinto tho dowflgf her b&5fcS, and during her latter year# sho was living in public favor not by her work, but on bar reputation. That reputation could never have I wen won by "Tho Story of Charles Strange*." Tho tale is made up of mysteries •which havo no vital connection with each other, which aro exceedingly clumsy in construction, and which, when th\y cease to be mysteries, rovoal themsolves an marcs' nests. Tho attempt to Interest ourselves in the plot being a hope loss failure, wo direct attention to the style, and amuso ourselves by culling sucb flowers of speech as "blushing furiously" and "a spell of kis*os.M An uncduont«xi servant speak* of his fellow servants as "retainers," a young lady is described as being "enshrined" in a rectory and with regard to a certain mysterious crime, wo aro told that "sotno people said felony, others whispered forgery," Mrs. Wood having been apparently under tho delusion that felony is some special offenso like murder or arson, instead of being the legal namo for a clam of crimes in which forgery is included.

It would have been quite as sensible to write, "Some fxxpio sakl dishonesty, others whispered pocket picking." The redeeming point in Mr*. Henry Wood's poorer work—of which "Tho Story of Charles Strange" provide an average specimen—is the vivacity which is inspired by self confident* and nieces* Mr* Wood believed in herself, in her plots, In her characters, and in her style and it is wonderful to what extent such belief on the part of an author will compel the belief of other people.—Boston Herald.

No home, especially where there are children, is complete during the holidays without a Christmas troe. The latter are grand, elaborate and costly in the families of the rich but even householder* of circumscribed means can put up trees that will sparkle and nkasr. for a very trifling outlay of money.

The Woman's Befnge.

Name full of sorrowful significance! Who are the pale, hopeless faced women asking abiding place within its doors? Here is one, an abandoned wife, who gave up home ties hundreds of miles from this spot to link her destiny with that of a man who soon forgot all about vows to protect the unsophisticated girl who took his name with a glow of pride, imil with hopes of a bright future that clouded in the dawning. Here she is stranded, deserted, heart broken. At thil threshold she is welcomed by women to whom fate has been kinder. Through their comforting words and practical assistance to render her self supporting, when restored health gives back strength to the weakened body, sho may yet live and enjoy life, and even forget that there was a time when her soul was full of bitterness at the sound of a blithe laugh or the sight of God's bright sunnhitift

And here are others to whom experience has brought not only sorrow, but that deeper, darter, drearer passion of the human soul, remorse. And these dazed and stricken creatures were once innocent infants, and looked np with questioning eyes into tho fond faces of mothers whose hearts glowed with love for their baby girls, just as yours does, my dear reader, when you look into your little daughter's future and dream of her, all on a high, pure [plane, above possible temptation, and far removed from the shadow of disgrace. It is no time to question how downfall became possible Perhaps because cruel death took away maternal care, of the villain approached in the guiso of an angel, and the poor little clod of clay was no match for even counterfeited celestial blandishments. Nover mind that now., Sho is waiting at the door of the Woman's refuge, a blighted being, an example that should stand a lifetime warning tp tho young and thoughtless girl who hears her history. But the refuge gives even this poor, misguided soul hope of future peace, if not of happiness. There is hero promise of a new life. What a holy mission in this, and how tho work appeals to tho heart of woman, who recognizes the bond of sisterhood when tho unvoiced misery of tho human heart is brought before her.— TTfln«An City Journal.

A Suggestion for tho Girls.

Young women who aspire to a pleasant, responsible, congenial position in some comfortable business office, where their services as stenographers and typewriters shall bring quid pro quo in merited cash, must cultivate other things besides proficiency in shorthand hieroglyphics and the kev board of tho typewriter. The other day the fair applicant for an excellent position in this city was put through a preliminary test. Her fingers were skilled and her appearance and manner were all that could be desired. But her brain and tonguo wero not up to the req'Airements, and her speech lacked the subtle something wliicb her position called for. She said "unexperienced," and sho wrote "would have" "would of." That settled tho ambitious damsel, in so for as that office was ooncernqd. "Tn'tKeae days niceties of speech must, in writing, bo embodied oven in business letters, and tho girl that con speak and write tho English language as it is spoken and written among people of refinement will be the girl to sit at tho merchant's or manufacturers elbow and transfer his speech into written expressions. The "I seen" and "I have saw" and "I done" girl, though she may be able to take down 100 words in a minute in short hand, ct write 150 words a minute with tho clicking keys, will about as readily get a permanent position in tho office of a leading business man as a Bactrian camel will pn«» through tho eye of a cambric needle. Good grammar and correct spcech daily enter moro into tho every day lifoof business, and tho girl that combines these with a quick brain and manual dexterity will have tho choice of positions of trust and emolument in tho oozy, well appointed business office*.—Pittsburg Bulletin.

3Iarrying Titles.

Some people are surprised, and some patriotically indignant, at tho havoc mado among our marriageable American women by foreigners ith titles. Not only our young girls, just bndi: into society, but our bouncing, mature widows are being carried over the ocean by the score, and the homes of our Fifth avenoodles begin to feel in the shade if they cannot announce an expected visit from "our daughter, tho Marchioness of Dryrot," or "our dear Countess Carbuncle."

Henry Labouchere bos explained the desire of the foreign nobility to seek American wives. Girts in England aro awkward, red elbowed, large footed, badly dressed, hoydenish misses, with giggling propensities and no conversational powers. American girls are handsome, natural, always at ease, a little "chceky," well dressed, good conversationalists and free from the smell of bread and butter. He declares that England will continue to be overcrowded with old maids until English gtris realise these facts and becoma Ar»ericaniJK\L

The principal attraction of American women, however, is the fact that they have money and can do with it generally what tbey plrairr The worst use they can put it to is to bestow it on a beggarly foreigner because be happens to possess a title. They would do tatter to spend it on home manufactaret—New York World.

When such p| are instilled into the hearts and dibds of children from their birth when taey are trained to purity as to booor and uprightness, or with half the seal to which now in many homes tbey are trained to unholy ambition and love of filthy lucre, the world* reformatory work will have been begun at the right end, and the dawn of the millennium will be visible over the eastern mountain tops.—Caroline F. Corbin in Chicago Tribune.

TTashing Flannels, and Prints. Clever housekeepers, accustomed to washing, often speak strongly in favor of flannels and prints being washed at the commencement of the washing day's proceedings and they find tho plan convenient, because they say thwt colored things can be washed in the same water as flannal*, and the water used for rinsing flannel* will serve for "firsting" the best whites. All this is true, and yet when we come to practice we find it is best to let the state of the weather determine for us when flannels are to be washed. We havo to remember that though linen and calico may lie for a while after being washed without injury, yet flannel and colored goods must be quickly dried or they will spoil. To dry flannels slowly causes them to shrink to dry colored prints, chintzes, etc., slowly is apt to make the colors run. Flannels and colored things, therefore, should not be touched until there is a prospect that they

ho dried off and be done

with, and this is why we should consider the weather in deciding when they shall be washed. Flannels should be put into a good, warm lather—that is, into soapy water, only a little warm, but on no account into cold water. As much as possible, rubbing should be avoided with them, because to rub flannel makes it thick. Wringing also is harmful to them, and it is better to squeeze and press the water out of them than to wring them. Soda also should never be used for flannels, and if thoy are to be kept in good condition they should not be ironed. Colored goods, too, should not be put into very hot water, and soda should be dreaded for them. They should neither be starched with hot starch nor ironed with a hot iron. After washing they should bo rinsed in cold water, in which a little alum has been dissolved. They should not be dried in the sun. Neither flannels nor colored goods must be boiled. Many laundresses put several handfuls of common salt into tho water in which colored things are rinsed. This helps to make them look clean and bright, but it also tends to make them turn limp speedily.—New Orleans Picayune.

Bathing of Infants.

Children take to water as uuturally as do ducks, and as repair and was to aro, with them, very rapid, frequent bathing is odmisblo.

For tho first fow days tho now born infant is usually sponged oil without removing all his clothing. For this purpose a worn napkin is usod, wringing it out of tepid water and rubbing tho surface gently. Dry with a soft towel and follow with hand friction. As soon, howover, as the band can bo removed, it will be found easy to put tho baby into a bath tub. For this purpose use an ordinary foot bath, or a tub made on purpose for a child. Placo it on a chair or low table. Bo sure to havo everything in readiness before beginning. The clothing should bo well aired and placed within reach, the toilet articles conveniently liear.

Place your left band under tho arms of tho child and your right one around the hips, and put him into the water. Support him with the left hand and bathe him with the other, using a soft sponge or linen cloth.

In from three to five minutes he is taken out and laid upon the lap, which has been protected by a linen cloth or soft bath toweL Dry him gently with this, and rub him all over with tho hand. Soaps and nursery powders are unnatural, and not essential to cleanliness and comfort yet they may not usually be considered injurious.—The Kindergarten.

Woman in the Saddle.

Did you ever observe a woman just before she is lifted into a saddle, and a fow moments after the horse has struck a canter? She becomes a changed being. The roses spring to her cheeks, tho light seoms to leap from her eyes, her form is tho inspiration of graceful action, and sho becomes a beauteous picture of moving health. And this, after all, is the best view to take of horseback riding. Aside from its charm, its dash, its buoyancy of motion, its special or general beauty, it is the most healthful exercise within tho province of woman. It is better than dancing, lawn tennis, croquet, rowing, archery. Thore are many reasons why it is better, and one of the strongest seems to be that it brings continuous changes of scone, which tend to rest tho body as well aS tho mind. .Tho fascinating effects which it has on the fair rider cannot be estimated, provided she has a well trained horse and indulges in moderation.—Detroit Free Presa

A tllnt to Parents.

An essential inequality of the sexes is based on the tendency to lengthen girlhood and shorten boyhood. Tho boy is pressed forward into business five years earlier than he used to be fifty years ago, while the girl of 20 does not know as much of housekeeping as the girl of 15 of as long ago. In other words, girls are petted and babied, while boys are set to work. The effect Is not at all favorable to the desirabk) end of producing happy homes. Titers is a good deal involved in tho equalisation of the sexes that is not taken into account in the oratorical discussions of the question. It is argued by Fisks that a lengthened infancy is the basis of finer character and home tnstincta However, even infancy may be overdone, as certainly may ba—Herald of

LITTLE LORD FA.UWLKROY.

COVXRT COAT. THE BATTEKBBBG. The covert coat, illustrated in the same cut, is well adapted for boys and youths, being at one and the same time comfortable, sty lsh and neat in effect. The Batten berK overcoat is intended for boys from 8 to 8 years of age. It is trimmed with a border of astrachan and military braid. The cap worn with it is of cloth, trimmed with astrachan.

Many of tho little girls' costumes aro in good style. Ono for a girl of 11 is mado iu tho directoiro style. The material is a terra cotta Amazon cloth. The front is of plush, with box plait and aud silk sash. Tho £ack is the long directoiro style, and has two double plaits, fastened with buttons on each side. A jacket bodice, with revers of plush, and coat sleeves with large directoiro plush cuffs. Another costume, for a child of 7, is made of reseda tinted vigogne cloth. Tho back of the bodice is made with three broad plaits in the Norfolk style. The front of tho bodice is pleated and turned back, with brood band of a gray tint woven into the material. The sleoVes are puffed at tho top, and have broad bands of gray for tho cuffs. Around skirt, gauged on the bodice and fastened at the ?id$ with ribbon bow. The edge of the skirt is finished with abroad band woven in the material. The new smocks, with bag fronts and kilted skirts, with loosely tied sash, will be much worn by girls of all ages this winter.

Features of the English Gowns.

As a rule, the skirts are all made with long straight folds, and no over draperies they are by no means scanty, but aro well set out at tho back, panels of either braiding or plaits at the side. The novelty in the bodices is the triplo front—via., the bodice itself out with re vara Under this is a low moire or cloth waistcoat, like those worn by men with dress ooats, and the waistcoat proper. But many variations Qf braiding and fur trimming are rung upon them. Green and black is a favorite combination very dark green mostly. One such costume had a braided waistcoat, then a low moire black waistcoat, and braided rovers to the bodice, the front of the skirt richly ornamented with wido and narrow braid. The bodice had a habit

Quite original and different from

most of the other models is a gown in soft wool of two shades of reseda, tho front loose, draped in classio fashion from tho left shoulder, and bordered with handsome gold galon, worked in green and gold cord. This was all of the darker shada The lighter appeared in the vest and in the side plaits on the skirt, where were some more green and gold galon. Pink happily combines with green, and this tender tone has been introduced as panels and waistcoats into another dark green gown, the pink braided and appearing at the cuffs the braid used was gold. Tweed gowns are the medium for displaying handsome braidings, and are useful, effective and durable. The guards' colors, navy blue and red, are well worn this aeason, as in most other years. A dark red gown had tho all round basqued bodice ooverod with horizontal rows of inch wide braid, at the waist and ending in loops at tba point of the basque. This is a style which ^Imintahrti tbs apparent size of the waist. It is carried out on the skirt with similar loops and close set horizontal perpendicular rows of braid are carried all round ths skirt to the depth of a quarter of a yard.

Kew aad Pretty Ideas That Kay Be Help. fUl 1b Christmas Fancy Work.

Christmas gifts begin to be the subject of considerstkxi with many ladles who manufacture themselves the tokens of remembrance presented to their friends. These who

are

engaged in this work may find some

thing helpful in

few suggestions here given.

It is rare to meet with anything new in pincushions, but one lately devised is original. It is in the shape of a crescent moon 4f yellow plush, across which is placed a raised black satin bat. The pins are stuck around the moon, which is flat, and the whole is suspended by silver cord.

Those who paint conld hardly make anything more dainty for a housekeeper than a set of finger bowl doilies painted on bolting cloth. These should be exactly six inches square including hem or fringe.

A late idea in night dress cases is to make them of soft Oriental silk, the lining either quilted, plain or elaborately embroidered. One recently made was of terra cotta silk worked in filoselle and gold thread, in lighter shades of terra cotta and blu& The case was the usual oblong shape, but in the center there was a diamond of velvet with small pieces in each corner, and across the diamond and across the opening there was a ruche of soft, pinked out silk. They arc also made in felt embroidered in detached stars and designs all over.

An attractive scrap bag can be mado with four strips, of any pretty material you happen to have on hand. Let them be about twelve inches long and four or five wide cut ono end of each to a sharp point and line with suitablo material join the pieces with the seams on the right side and bind with any uico flat braid or- ribbon. Finish at the top with a plaiting of ribbon aud at the bottom with ribbon loops, and suspend with ribbons. Velveteen of good quality bound with ribbon in pretty contrasting color looks welL

Elegant and quite new in tho way of tho still popular "crazy patchwork" is a quilt recently made, in which the colors used were restricted to gold, white and cream only. All the pieces wero worked with gold filoselle and joined together with feather stitching of the same. A peculiarity consisted in the pieces being all worked by tho maker and her friends in half a yard square sections. Several friends worked one section, inscribing their names on ona scrap, their favorite flower or soma device on others, adhering all tho timo to gold filoeollo. Every section was neatly joined, and when tho quilt was complete a band of gold colored plush about a quarter of a yard wide bordered it all around. Tho lining was of gold colored sateen. The effect was extremely good, and tho study of it most amusing. This may be a hint to some patchworker.

A Novel Forticro.

The beautiful curtain shown in the illustration is painted in water and bronze colors on coarso linen. The illustrated description of the model originally appeared in a recent issue of Deoorator and Furnisher.

A BEAUTIFUL CCRTAIX.

This curtain is equally suitable for a portiere or wall decoration, as it can be plainly stretched like tapestry on stair landings, anterooms, etc. Tho pattern embraces luxuriant foliage amidst large waving poppies and hsmlock flowers. Ths black leaves have the lights set on in gold, and tho entirely gold flowers have silver lights. The painting is done with a stiff brush tlio oolore must be laid on very thickly, and it is therefore advisable to bend tho linen a little forward to prevent them running on the loose material. Instead of bronzo color, tho worker may mix gold and silvor powder with bronte tincture, but as it dries very quickly only a little should be mixed at a time. The curtain has the full width of the material (rather more than a yard and a half) it is nearly three yards long, exclusive of the fringe (half a yard broad), mado of the frayed out thread of tho stuff, regularly knotted together. For this purpose th* threads are divided Into groups, an inch apart, which are twioe crossed and then simply knotted.

The Buffitfo Moth.

The so called buffalo moth (Anthrenus scrophularise) is an insect which has only in comparatively recent years beoomo known as a pest to carpets, furs, etc. It probably derives its popular nams from the fact that the larva is a thick, brown, hairy creature, with a convex back, resembling somewhat, with the naked eye, a very minute buffalo. It is this larva which does the damage to the carpets and which hatches from the egg laid by the perfect beetla The beetle itself is a smaS brown Insect about one-eighth of an inch in length and of a mottled light gray, red and black. When this insect has once established a foothold in a bouse nothing but tbs most energetic measures will •radicate it The carpets should be all takeo up sprayed with benxine and afterward thoroughly aired. All the cracks in the floor should ako be sprayed with the same nb stance, and in relaying tbeoarpets strips of tarred roofing paper should be planed around tbe borders of the room.

Hvw to Cfcoeee Duehs and Geese. Yomg dudes and geess are plump, with light, semi-traasparsot fat, soft bluest boos, tender flesh, tag joints which will break by tbs weight of the bird, fresh eolored and brittle beaks and windpipes that break when between the thumb and Corsflagm.
