WOMAN AND HOME.

ONE LADY MANAGES WITH HOUSEFUL OF GIRLS."

jAitraetlTencss of Wit and Beauty—Shoes of Fainoai Women—The Mj*tcrioa Casket. 1 "How to Care for Bird*—The Game "Who Wears the Ring?" 'A

It is true that a family of daughters is not viewed in the same unpromising light as formerly, bat it is still so much of a problem that I shall undertake to disclose the happy domestic arrangements of a friend of mine who is the proud mother of six girls and a boy. Now, there are good mothers and mothers good only in the sense of a domestic serv ant. I need hardly say that my friend—who, by the way, is the wife of a prosperous iron manufacturer in an adjoining state—belongs decidedly to the first class. At an age that would seem to many almost incredible this lady's little tots are taught to put on their own stockings and shoes and to make their ordinary every day toilets. The toilat bell is rung ten minutes before the serving of each meal, and the children, without hurry, con fusion or the slightest disorder, take their places et the table, where, with their freshly washed faces and gentle looks, they remind one of a row of white lilies.

As the little miss reaches the 8th year, she is further instructed how to mend and take care of her own linen and hosiery. 3he is also encouraged to keep her room and bureau drawers systematically tidy, so that every articlc may be at hand when wanted. In this way each child learns its life lesson of order, neatness, economy and responsibility, and the eldest daughter is not oppressed with semi-motherly cares for younger children, as is so often the pitiful case in large families where a rotinuo of servants is not kept, while vexatious searches for "lost" things, with repeated inquiries of, "Who has got my this or my that?" "Did you see my so and sof"—inquiries that keep many a household in a state feverish uurcst—become out of the question.

Tho next 6tep is still more Interesting. It is taken when tho little cirl has arrived at a degreo of proficiency in keeping her clothes in good condition, and nothing more or less than an initiation into the mysteries of her own jjcrsonal expenses. An allowance is paid to lier quarterly, and from this sum she is ejqected to provide herself with clothing, school supplies, car faro, church money—in short, everything which she needs. Of course theso little women consult mamma a groat deal about their purchases and shopping but it is surprising what a knowledge of business methods, ways and means, and ways of making ends meet, they acquiro by thin kind of special training. The manner, for instance, in which two of them, with their mamma as the advisory member of the committee, will appraise an outgrown garment—which is always obligatory upon the next younger to buy—would do credit to on experienced dealer in costumes.

I am aware that to many mothers, with conservative notions about children remaining children, this system of my friend's may seem overly systematic, and perhaps even a little harsh. "Would not all this business rob homo of its chief charm and lcavo us only institutions and littlo clerks and merchants?" some ono asks.

I admit that tho idea of a child receiving everything it needs directly from its parents, with no forethought on its own part, and no moro notion of commercial values than tho budding blossom has of tho value of a sunray, is invoked with much poetio charm. Parents, with various dogrdes of consciousness, enjoy tho typical relation they sustain toward their children—giving, over giving, out of a resource that to the little ono Beems illimitable. But lot us look at tho facts of lifo without prejudice, nnd think of tho painfully familiar homo scones in which we have witnessed children teasing parents for tho wherewithal to buy somo article, ornament or plaything. Is it ioss liai'sh, I ask, less painful to tho child to IK? told "No, I cannot get you so and so," tlian that it should east up a littlo account in its own brain to ascertain for itself whether or not tho desired object is obtainable?

Wo say nothing of tho effect of this discipline upon tho futura man or woman. Any ono at all observant of tho miserable, covetous cravings of childish women for finer surroundings than their moans can command any ono who reads tho daily newspapers, and ponders the stories contained in them of robberies and embezzlements committed by otherwise respectable men—often, no doubt, committed for tho purpose of gratifying these same childish women—will soo in my friend's system of mental and moral discipline a noble and practical means of correcting ono of tho great evils of modern life.

Littlo clerks and merchants my friend's children aro to an extent. But I feel qualified to say that their knowledges of affairs docs not interfere wiUi their happiness, or in any way mar their lovable qualities as children. Simpb-, bright, mirth loving, dutiful and affectionate they all are, from tho oldest —a lovely girl of SO, who has just graduated from Vassar college—to tho youngest.

Thus is my friond preparing her daughters and little sou for the actual work of life, and preserving the while her own youth, freshness and sweet temper having time for social enjoyments timo to dress and to read, timo to entertain her husband in his brief intorvals ut home, time to look after and relieve cases of poverty and suffering in her neighborhood timo, iu short, to bo a useful member of 8*ciety.—Jane Ellis Joy in Good Housekeeping.

Shoes of Farnoos Women.

In the front room of tho second floor of a building at Ninth ami E streets half a dost® shoemakers peg and stich away from morning till night Here the shoes worn by the fashionable world of the capital arc made— those wonders in satin and leather that peep at us from under the rich flounces of the ladies who pour our tea and whirl with us in the dance. Among the men who work in this room is Mr. John Grace, an Englishman by birth. Mr. Grace discoursed in an interesting way about some of the feet be had sera and the shoes he had made. "There are two or three shops in London," he said, "that make nearly ail of the shoes worn by the English aristocracy. I remember making a pair of ball shoes for the Princess Beatrice. 8be has a foot something bice her mother's, the queen. It was short .v I fat, the ankle being what you might c_2l boxed just a little. Her number was a four, and she wore oat perhaps a dosan pairs a year." "Did yon ever make shoos for the queenf "No, I never did. The man whoaj hooch stood next to mine made nearly all of them, and has done so for years. I suppose her number is at least a six, and she wears a very wrsibte shoe, kn»g and broad, with a law bocl and plenty uf room at the „«s. She has several bunion* awl corns, y*t Laow.

A Clever Parlor Trick.

In alh evening company it-is desirable that each snouia furnish a portion of the evening's entertainment, and tho one who can perform some neat and simple trick, such as Professor Hoffman describes in "The Young Wizard," is bound to bo popular.

As cards and the usual paraphernalia of a magician may not be handy, it is well to know at least one trick which requires nothing but a pencil, a slip of paper and a good memory. It is called "Who Wears the Ringr

Tho number of persons participating in the gome should not exceed nine. Some one of the company is selected, unknown to you, to put a ring on one of his fingers. Tou now say you will tell (1) who wears the ring, (2) the hand it is on, (3) the finger of the hand and (4) the joint of the finger. This is apparently presuming to do a great deal and your hearers will look on at first rather dubiously.

Tho company being seated in regular order, the persons must be numbered 1, 2, S, etc. Tho thumb must be termed the first finger, the forefinger being the second. The joint nearest tho extremity 'indst be qallfed the fir*st joint the ri^ht hand is cttie and thb left hand

These preliminki^el ^iWngid,^loaVe the room in order that the ^ing may .be placed unobserved by you. Suppose fhafc the third person has the ring on the right band, third finger and first joint. Your object is to discover tho figures 3,131. Returning to the room, ask one of the company to perform secretly the following arithmetical operations: |1. Double the number of the person who has the ring in the case supposed this will produce.. 2. Add 6 11 8. Multiply by 5 85 4. Add 10 65 8. Add tho number denoting the hand. 60 & Multiply by 10 660 7. Add tho number of the finger. 663 a Multiply by 10 6,030 0. Add the number of tho Joint... ...6,631 10. Add 05 0,060

He must apprise you of the figures produced, 6,066. You will then, in all casos. subtract from it 3,535. In the present instance thero will remain 3,131, denoting tho person No. 3, tho hand No. 1, tho finger No. 3 and tho joint No. 1.

Tho formula may readily bo memorized, or tho various operations may bo written on a small card by tho performer for rofcrcnco and convenience.

Wit or Beauty, Which?

A correspondent says: "Much has been written and said about tho rival claims of wit and beauty as factors in rendering women attractivo. Tho great immediate triumphs of beauty may have been wrought in a moment, ns when the old men of Troy gazed admiringly on Helen and for&ot her sins or when the duchess of Cleveland looked from her coach door upon the howling mob of London, who attributed to her malign influence all the burden of their taxes, and who wero so charmed by her beauty that their howlings changed into 'Bless her handsome facol' But the continuous and permanent power of persoual charms implies not uiero regularity of form, but brilliancy and varied fascination. Ono of tho most brilliant writers of this century, Heinrich Heine, lias best analyzed tho rival charms of wit and beauty in his 'Confessions.' 'Women aro dangerous,' he says, but I must admit that' beautiful women aro not so dangerous as tbfeo whoso attractions are intellectual rather than physical. He continues by giving a sketch of Mme. do Stael, who is the stock instanco of the power wielded by tho feminine intellect without beauty. "It was Mme. do Stael who, when sitting with tho beautiful Mme. do Recamier and the celebrated Tallyrand, tried to embarrass him by asking him abruptly if the two ladies foil into the water which he would Save.

Madame,' replied tho imperturbable diplomat, 'you know how to swim,' thus adroitly complimenting her universal accomplishments while maintaining his own allegiance to tho beauty. It is a curious fact that Margaret Fuller Ossoli, whose name has often boon linked with that of Mme. de Stael, had this in common with her* that her hands were tho point where sho camo nearest to beauty, and sho was accused by many critics of displaying them in public. She also drew from men perhaps moro than did Mine, do Stael the homage of personal affection, and it was hsr own theory that the strongest passions recorded in history have usually been inspired by plain women, which may bo a sourco of gratification to women whom tho geds seem to have forgotten when they wero dispensing beauty."—New Orleans Picnpino.

Woman's Dally Walk.~"

A well known wornaii in public life lately declared her conviction that it is necessary for beauty, health and good temper that a woman should be for at least half an hour daily in the open air. "I know," she adds, that for busy women this is not always easy. They can spare thai half an hour in tho open air, but they can't spare the other half or three-quarters of an hour to make a street toilet. But I have found a way out of the difficulty, I think. There are many days when I am studying and working so hard that I have not the time to sparato get ready to go out, so I put on my head a wide brimmed directoire, but which covers a multitude of sins in the way of a tumbled head, and throw around me^a long Connemara coat.

You know the cloak usually called a Conremara is not one at all the Kerry cloak is the one that hangs straight from |^bc shoulders to the feet in front and has to be held together to keep from blowing open and showing the gown underneath. The Connemara bangs in the same way, but there is a front inside which fits slightly to the figure and is buttoned all the way down, the arms coming through long slit* left between the edge of this and the loose fronts wliirh hang over it It is loose, but perfectly conceals an morning gown I may be wearing nndern at h.

iitrntt Yon w^lL notice thas he often jsitB in the shade. Remember and take care about plachg him in a draft or too close to even a clossd window, except cm warm summer days. It is as great a mistake to put him where he will be subject to the dry, burning heat of a Juraace or stove. Do not hang his cage too Ugh nor too low, but let him breathe the pure air which yon breathe yourself.

From November till June Wrap Lis cage nightly in a warm shawl, or draw o^er it a thick cover, and never place tie cage on the floor, as I saw advised n6t long ago.

Your bird needs variety as well as you, bird store tnen and bird book writeii to the contrary notwithstanding. Grve him every day, besides his seed and fresh water, a bit of green food, lettuce, sorrel, chickweed, plaintain (leaf or raids), or a slice of banana or apple, and fasten the delicacy so that it cannot fall to the floor. A dainty bird will not touch it if it falls. Also, now and then, perhaps three times a week, give him a snip or two of raw beef the size of a pin head, larger il he is a mocking bird. He may look askasce at first, and turn his wise black eyes upon it with curiosity, but he will soon relish it and aargerly snatch it from your finger, imd it takes the place of the insects he would add to his bill of fare if he were free.

In fact, try to keep in mind that the little fellow has likes and dislikes, pain and discomfort, happiness and pleasure, much as you have yourself, and you will be vsjell repaid by his brightness and vivacity.—Our Dumb Animals. -iv. n£-e

The Qolden Casket*

The Germans have a story which that home loving people like to repeat. A father, when his daughter became a bride, gave her golden casket with the injunction not to pass it into other hands, for it held a charm, which, in her keeping, would be of inestimable value to her as the mistress of a house. Not only was she to have the entire care of it, but she was to take it every morning to the cellar, the kitchen, the dining room, the library, the parlor, the bedrooms, and to remain with it in each place for at least five minutes, looking carefully about. After the lapse of three years the father was to send her the key, that the secret talisman might be revealed. The directions were followed. Tho key was sent. The casket was opened. It was found to contain an old parchment, on which were written these words: "The eyes of the mistress are worth 100 pairs of servants' hands." The wise father knew that a practice of inspection followed faithfully for three years would become a habit and be self perpetuating—that the golden casket and the hidden charm would havo accomplished their mission.

Wo commend this story to thoso (house wives whoso homos, like the primeval chaos, are "without form, and void."—St. Louis Republic. ft

A Woman's Phenomenal Succcss. Four years ago a certain well kno^n woman of today had no stockings to her ffct. Yesterday sho received in velvet and point lace, with diamonds as big as filberts in her oars. All her own and honestly earned. She was turned upon the street with two children begging for her supper, because her husband could not pay his rent. Nowadays the illustrated papers beg in vain for the privilege of photographing tho art treasures in her rooms. Dressmaking has done it' all. She tried for a place as plain cook or housekeeper, she werlt from house to house as seamstress for (1 a day and all the time she said if she ever bad the opportunity she could show what art meant in dressmaking. It sounded like a fairy tale, but it has come true. Every year she goes abroad and her credit at the big London and Paris shops is almost unlimited. Presently she will take her children to Germany to finish their education. She designs every gown that goes out from her establishment. Best of all, she is a true hearted woman, and froM plodding through the streets at midnight vor medicine for a sick woman to the most delicate offices between estranged lovers has taken on herself all manner of disagreeable tasks to help her friends.—Philadelphia Tmjes.

^Copying the Style.

At a swell musicale up on the south side the other evening, a fashionable young lqdy in tho audienco attracted a great deal of attention by her unique costume. It was really a poem in dress goods and a creation which would break the lead in the pencil of any man who attempted to write a description of it. The ladies present admired it qpd could not keep their eyes off of it. While tho musical programme was being carried out a lady sitting near the wearer of this toilet was seen to take paper and pencil from bar pockot. She would glance fixedly at the costumc, then direct her attention to her paper. She was sketching the dress. This lady has somo growing daughters to clothe, and when sho finished her sketch, sho said to a friend sitting with her: "There I have sketched my daughter's spring costume. I will make it up for her accordingly and she will appear as stylish as tho girl whose mother has her toilets made by tho high priced modistes."—Chicago Herald.

Mrs. Toland held a distinctive position in San Francisco, as the first of California's amateur pianists. Her mysical gifts are motit remarkable. She is also one of those phenomenal linguists one ofteu hears of. but seldom meets.

Ball Toilets That Represent Present Styles Description of an Imported Dress Made to Order for the Inaugural

Ball at Washington. In the making of evening dresses modistes exert all their ingenuity to give to each patron a gown quite novel one the like of which has not before been made. The consequence is, at every entertainment, whether it be a ball, a reception, a wedding or the opera, there is to be seen a bewildering variety, not only as regards the fashion of the gowns, but in their fabrics and garniture. In a general way it may be said that the modified empire dress is the one most universally adopted for ball toilets. An empire corsage which is round, may, however, be either plain or plaited, while the low bod

A FRENCH BALL TOILET.

ices are cut in a variety of forms some en coeur, open very low bock and front, filled in with tulle, which is often fastened on the shoulder with a flower, bow or jewel. Some are cut oval, the shoulders covered but the front cut very low, almost to the armpits. Some square and others in the classio style, which is the most dressy of all, because it is tho most undressed, cut low and round with only a strap on the shoulder.

In the annexed cut is illustrated a Paris ball dress, made to order for one of New York's fair guests, and worn at the inaugural ball at Washington. The skirt and low draped empire bodice is of tinsel gauze. The plaited butterfly sleeves are of China crepe, and are caught from the shoulder and along the arm with a diamond butterfly and festoons of jet. Gem butterflies sparkle on the front of the corsage and in the coiffure.

Velvet evening dresses are worn in greater numbers than for some years past. On the other hand, white dresses are seen in great numbers at the opera and nt balls, and are worn alike by elderly and young women.

Watches and Watch Chains. Elsio Bee, in Jewelers' Circular, gives the latest fashions regarding watches for ladies' wear. She says: Ladies' watches continue small in size, but wide license is permitted in the selection of the cases, which may be of plain gold, etched, enameled or incrusted with gems. Where the gems used in the embellishment of watch cases aro of large size and fino in quality, these aro set through the gold, not incrusted iu it. Chatelaine watches are fashionable and will remain so while the empire style of dress prevails. Theso watches are of gold or silver, according to tho chatelaine with which they are worn.

Watches for men tond to be flat and thin. Many are open faced. Monograms on watches run smaller than the elaborate ones of a few seasons ago.

The queen chain remains fashionable, though not to tho exclusion of other styles. With quite new chains is numbered the "Regency," which, as the name suggests, is a reproduction. For men's woar are the fancy vest, the double chain and tho fob chain. Lockets and seals are the pendants preferred for men's chains. No set pattern prevails for pendants to ladies' chains all sorts of designs figure in my charms, such as balls, blocks, baskets, scissors, pencils, vinalgrattos, etc., etc.

Water Proof Cloaks.

The newest cloak is the Russian, with long straight fronts and flat box plaits at tl^" back. This, as well as other cloaks, is mauu in water proof cloth, Scotch woolens in large and small checks, and in plain and figured black or colored mackintosh. The Portia, somewhat similar to the Russian cloak, has little armholes to pass tho hands through, and the fullness at the back arranged iu gathers in a point. The Balmoral has a large, deep cape caught in at tho back of the by a band, and a hood lined with silk, and made to take off if wished. Sleeves aro sometimes added, but more oftener not, as the cape has sufficient warmth and protection without The Parisienne is an elegant looking cloak with a deep cape, which can be converted into sling sleeves by passing tho arms through the loops placed inside, end made to button together just above the hand.

AROUND THE HOUSE.

Beautiful Bulbs for Indoor Culture—The Chines* Lily Now Very Popular. Those who have grown Dutch or Cape bulbs indoors know the fascination of the work, and to those that have not, Good Housekeeping points out the pleasure await*ing them. As an inducement it states th^tmost buyers of bulbs for winter forcing their selections esu-ly in the season, so now what the dealers have on hand can be bought for about half price.

Just now fashion declares the Chinn^ lily the most popular flower. Although our government has passed a law prohibiting Chinese immigration, it has not restricted the Celestial from sending to us bulbs of his "sacred lily"—not too sacred for traffic. It may not be generally known that the now fashionable lily, the true sacred lily of the Chinese, is not very unlike the old Narcissus Tazetta, our own commonly called Roman Narcissus however, though not to us a "sacred lily" it is nevertheless miost interesting— most sweet and beautiful."

They may be grown in water and brought into flower in two or three weeks after they are planted. The process is simply this: Use a large flat dish, or bowl something like a punch bowl first strew the bottom of the bowl with bits of charcoal, then place the bulb in the center of the bowl and fill with pebbles or snail stones, and add all the water the dish will comfortably hold, put the dish away in a dork place, if a warm cupboard all the better, for the roots to grow. As soon as you can seo roots are formed on the bulb bring to alight room. If a paper funnel bo made of stiff (taper to fit the top of the dish (with an aperture of an inch in diameter across the top), it will help the green leaves to show bettor strength and length. The flower buds will soon show, then you will put your lish, without the funnel, in the sunniest winlow, and you will be amazed with the rapidity with which the flowers" come out, as well as surprised with the all pervading perfume.

Better results are gained by using a fair sized pot filled with sandy soil with the top of the bulb covered with a light layer of moss, kept always damp. The largest bulbs grown under the best conditions will send up as many as twelve flower stalks. They may be planted any time from November to May. It is safe to say bulbs planted any time from Christmas to Easter, if properly watched and watered, shaded and sunned, will give abundant bloom and blessing long before there m-e many blossoms outside tho house. These bulbs are certainly worth a good trial.

A Quaint and Pretty Table. Among pretty odd pieces of furniture manufactured nowadays, none show more originality of design than fancy tables. Many of theso are constructed with a view to some especial purpose—as, for instance, the billetdoux table shown in the cut, which, in fact, serves two equally useful ends. When closed, as hero represented, it fits into and gracefully furnishes tho corner of a room, also taking up but little space. When tho folded flaps are opened out, an oblong top is formed, and in the lower box liko portion paper, envelopes, pons and everything needed in writing may be kept, so that it makes a very convenient writing table. Under the folding top a dainty blotter is artfully concealed.

BILLETDOUX TABLK FOLDED TO FIT A COBRZB. This clever littlo table was desigued for the woman's section of the Glasgow exhibition, where it was greatly admired. Tho original table is said to have been purchased by the Pnncess of Wales, which, of course, gave tho design added favor. It is made in all kinds of wood and looks very well with enameled finish, in white or colon

Pineapple Jelly.

One-half box gelatine, one cup sugar, ono cup cold water, ono large cup boiling water, one gill sherry, one cupful choppcd canned pineapple and a gill of the liquor from the can.

Stir tho sugar into the gelatine, the latter being first soaked an hour in tho cup of cold water. Add the pinoapplo liquor, tho wine and the boiling water. Strain, stir in the pineapple mid set to form in a mold wet with cold water.

A variation of this recipe is banana jelly made by substituting chopped banana and the juice of a lemon for tho pineapple.

Cooked Celery.

Cooked cclery is liked by many people and is considored even more wholesome than the raw article. Cut it in small cross sections, using nearly the entire stalk and roots, rejecting only the very green parts. Cook it in but little water, so that when very tender tho water will have boiled nearly away then add milk sufficient for a nico gravy season to taste with salt and pepper rub butter and flour to a smooth paste and add sufficient to make it of a creamy consistency. When tho flour is scalded it is done.

A Boston housewife furnishes the following recipe: Two cupful* of sugar, six cupfuls of flour, one pint of milk, butter size of two Rr»]rli«h walnuts spice to taste. After thoroughly mixing the above add half a cupful of yeast (or a third of a yeast cake well dissolved). Let rise five hours roll, cut and fry in plenty of hot lard. I sometimes add two well beaten eggs, the last thing before rolling out. It is not neccoary, but sometimes an improvement.
