WOMAN AND HOME.

COSTUMES IMPLYING MOURNING BY ROYAL WIDOWS.

Slae \romeii of England a/i£ America, Fault ion leaders San* lleaaty— Two Kinds of r.-imo—Good Tilings for the

Hnnu kpeper to Know.

The Gauloift of Paris j^tves some particulars iih to the mourning worn -by widows of royal and imperial rank in Europe at the present tun ?. A modification of tho English widow's rap, as worn for bo many years by Queen Victoria, would appear to be the form of coiffure adopted at many courts, and the tsimrj jwurnaJ states that an English milliner possesses a monopoly of Kuimivine these to tho royal families of Europe

The description given in detail shows that the cap as worn at foreign courts has black lisso weepers." The aged Empress A ugusta, though niij wears in other respects tbe con ventionai widow's mourning, is obliged to have very warm caps, owing to the neuralgic headaches from which she suffers. The immense string* fall almost to tho carpet when she Is setitod in lior large armchair, which is mounted on rollers. The unfortunate Em press Charlotte, widow of Maximilian of Mexico, bas always leen careless of ber dress since tho great tragedy of her life. When she went to appeal to Napoleon ILL and the Empress Eugenio at the Tuileriea she wore a crushed dress aud a damaged white silk bonnet with tho feathers all uncurled. Now, in her widowhood and mental alienation, she loves to wear tbe brightest colors, though her attendants have frequently tried to dissuade ber from doing so. She often puts red roses in her hair, as she is represented in her portrait by liaudan, in which her remarkable rearm bianco to her grandfather, Louis Phil ippo, oome# out so strikingly.

The ex-Empress Eugenie, according to this vmter, wears the very simplest sort of mourning. Her gowns are of woolen fabric, and fall in plain folds from tho waist. Her dressmakers occasionally attempt some variation upon their unstudied simplicity, but the empress always bids them revert to tho untrhnmcd dresses that sho now prefers. Tho queen regent of Spain lias till quite lately worn deep mourning that was almost nun like In its severity. The dross, very flat and straight, has had a long, full train. Upon ber Itfitui sho has always worn a mantilla of a black woolen fabric, without oven the relief of a fold of transparent crape. For extra covering, when crossing tho gardens or travel-wing tho long corridors of her palace, Queen Maria Christina wears a long black mantle lined with white velvet. Sho uses two pearl headed phis that King Alfonso usod to admire, for fixing tho thick black veil upon hor head. For ccrtabi occasions of ceremony tho queen regent has of lato doffed hor sombor black and worn a lilac gown, but sho swims to like to return to tho black veil that denotes her widowhood Hers is a nature as serious as it is sweet. At her convent, in her girlhood, sho could always bo counted upon for missions needing courage and devotion.

Princess Stephanie's still girlish head is tho latest to wear the royal widow's cap, under which her fair hair is almost hidden, and the black aud white of Austrian widows' mourning. Some dresses sent to tho Empress Fredcrick illustrate tho otiquette of the first twelvo months' weeds. Among tbom is a morning dross in plain English crapo, the akirt of which is gathered all round tho waist. Tho empire bodico has a doop collar of whito batiste and cuffs to match that reach to tho olbow. Another gown is mado of dull black cloth, tho skirt being trimmed with threo graduated bands of crape. A wido, flat fold of crape begins at tho waist and falls ovor one sido of the skirt to tho hem, above which it is slightly draped. Over a crape waistcoat is a straight bodico with large lapels of crape. Tho orthodox whito batisto collar and cuffs are worn with this. Along trained house dress is hi black cashmere, tho front being entirely covered with crnjx\ plaited diagonally across it. The cuirnsso bodico has a plastron of crape, tho fastenings of which are concealed beneath two bios folds. Ijirgo sleeves of whito crepe lisse are worn over tho bUck ones, tho latter showing through.

Tho Wuuio Cat" Girl.

Tho reproach aimed by Americans at tho English girl—viz.: that sho is of tho "tame cat" order, and that hor husband will trust ber with his bills or tho darning of his socks but not with his ideas—is as great a misconception, in ninny respects, as tho English estimate of American womon, but from tho American jmiut, of view it has some foundation in fact, Wo need only look at tho lifo of tho ordinary Englishman to discover tho foundation upon which this exaggerated inference bat**!. Ho always retains a tenderness for his club where ho can ventilate among his fellow men his ideas, political, moral an to which, it is quite true, be dtvs not, as a rule, treat his wife. If he has a male friend ho CUD pass hours upon hours in his company without being bored, which, unfortunately, does not happen in tho of his wife, and tho very fact that womm are the first to declare that no wife wants her husband id ways with her is a more or less, of a certain incomjati bllity of temjiermnent and thought.

Probably it is on these and kindred grounds that the American forms her opinion of tho average English girl, and, until she gains more experience of Euglish habits, imagines herself strictly correct. On tho other band, for a fair ami impartial opinion of tho America it girl, one must apply rather to on Englishman than an English woman, for ho is more on a level with her in thought and more in touch with her in idea. It is no secret that the unprejudiced, educated English man is a general favorite with American women. If he has a particle of discernment ho very soon discovers that American freedom Is by no means a synonym for license, and when he has fully assimilated that idea ho finds his relations with the "nice" American girl most charming and cordial and fascinating. But in the matter of propriety of bohavior 1k discover* that she is ic\ srnble, and that, so far from being permit _\l more licmw of speech or action, bo In reality enjoys less.—The Nittioual Review.

Cue and Ileauty.

Every one longs for distinction, even those vho are hopeless of attaining it. It is a pleasant thought that we can do well something which others only do passably, and even an insignificant kind of superiority is better thau none at all.

Tho belle of a western town is the possessor of such striking beauty that strangers visiting the locality are sure to havo their curiosity to see her whetted by the prevalent reports. One traveler, who attended a sociable in tho town ball on tbe only night of his stay In the place, was naturally desirous of meeting the beautiful Miss Hosmer, and early in the evening was introduced to a rather plain looking girl of that name.

Not knowing just what the local standard of beauty might be, he was not at all sure that ho was not speaking to the object of the general admiration, and thus began paving tho way to certainty. "During tho few hours I have been here, Miss Hosmer, I think I have heard your name mentioned more frequently than any other." "Yes," said the girl, heartily, "I dare say. My name is in pretty frequent use, but nobody means me. It is my cousin who is so much talked about." "Ah? Then there are two beautiful Miss Hosmers," he said, with more gallantry than truth. "No, there ore not," said the girl, bluntly. "My cousin is a beauty, and I am distinguished in quite another direction." "May I ask what it is?"

Her eyes sparkled with mischief, mingled with some real earnestness. "I'll tell you," said she, "I can make better Johnny cake than any other girl in this town, or county, either 1"—Youth's Companion.

Ten Good Things to Know.

1. That mik which is turned or changcd may bo sweetened and rendered fit for use again by stirring in a little soda.

That salt will curdle new milk hence, in preparing milk porridgo, gravies, etc., the salt should not bo added until tho dish is prepared. 3. That fresh meat, after beginning to sour will sweeten if placed out of doors in tho cool of the night. 4. That clear boiling water will remove tea stains and many fruit stains. Pour tho water through tho stain, and thus prevent it spreading over tho fabric. 5. That ripo tomatoes will reraov* ink and other stains from whito cloth also from tho hands. ... 0. That a table§|kbuful of ""toirjie&'iSno boiled with whito clothes yvill aid in the whitening process.

That boiled starch is much improved by tho addition of a little sperm salt, or gum arabic dissolved. 8. That beeswax and salt will make rusty flat irons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in a rag and koop it for that purpose. When tho irons aro hot, rub them first with tho wax rag, thou scour with a papar or cloth sprinkled with salt. 0. That blue ointment and kerosene mixed in equal proportions and applied to tho bedsteads is an unfailing bedbug remedy, as a coat of whitewash is for tho walls of a log houso. 10. That keroseno will soften boots and shoes that Imvo bean hardened by water,"and render them as pliable as new.—Pharma ceutical Record.

A London CamiHo.

Simultaneous with tho entrance of tho swells is that of tho women who fill tho stall and whose resplendent diamonds and sumptuous gowns csoito tho admiration and wonder of all beholders. I saw ono who was living countorpartof tho original Dumas' Camilla She might havo been a duchess, to judge from the splendid poiso of her queenly head, covered with braids of raven black hair, which set ofT to rare advantago tho ravishing whiteness of her skin. I havo no words with which to do justico to her chirms. Court beauties of tho reign of Charles II boasted of this raro type, but I am of the opinion that oven these great ladies could not command the air of superb hauteur of tliir. woman of the Alliambra concert hall.

She only remained an hour, during which interval several fashionable men jjoid their rcspccts by exchanging a few cursory words with her at her. box and withdrawing, having removed neither their hate from their heads nor their cigars from their mouths, I don't know, of course, but it seems to me tha if 1 were a man I should respect the divin: loveliness of a woman of this typo, I hod no respect for tho woman herself, and lift my hat, if not to her, to that God given ifift, her wondrous beauty. But I am not a man, and If I attempted to lift my bat, cither to beauty or boost, I should pull out half a dozen pins, and have tho pleasure of seeing my hair cerai tumbling down hi a heap. Cousequ tly, I am constrained to repress my chivalrm tendencies. —Pittsburg Dispatch.

rintrtsiin to cater to tbe little ones, ana there are publishers whose fortunes have been made by the printing and sale of books tor the young folks.

There is a dark si I- this subject, asevery reflecting person knows. Side by side with the pure stream of children^ literature referred to thero flows dark and foul current poisoned by depraved men, aud yet made enticing enough to tempt the boys and girls to drink of it. This impure current finds its way often misuspectod into the homes of the people, debasing pure young minds, preparing innocent feet for mil ways, its very presence a danger not l^sa menacing than disease.

The lesson is obvious. Let tho children be supplied with plenty of pure literature by tbe purchase of books, or from the libraries, and there will be much less danger of their touching anything else. And yet that other species is to be guarded against as men try to ward ofT the pestilence.—Philadelphia News.

Care of the Eye*.

Shades on lamp or gas burners should be of "milk" or ground glass never of colored

Never sleep opposite a window which will throw a flood of strong light on your eyes when you wake in the morning.

When bathing the face do not open the eyes under water, as this is apt to be injurious to the epithelial covering of the eye.

In all institutions, particularly for children, where the eyes are required to do close work, the proportion of the square surface of the windows to the square surface of the floor should never fall below one to four.

The short sighted eye is essentially a diseased eye and should be treated as such. It affects by preference those who use their eyes constantly for fine or neat work, and is al most unknown among tbe uncivilized nations.

When children work by light which falls in their faces they are apt to bend the body forward so as to shade the eyes by the head or else twist it around so that the light shall fall on the page. Both of these positions are pernicious. There is great danger of the chest becoming narrow and contracted and of the spine becoming curved.

To bathe tho eyes properly take a large basin of cold water, bend the head close over it, and with both hands throw the water with somo forco on the gently closed lids. This has something of the same effect as a shower bath, and has a toning up influence which water applied in any other way has not.—Detroit Free Press. _______

A Clever Wornkn.

One of tho cleverest women in Boston is Miss Lilian Whiting, literary editor of The Boston Traveller. She lives cozily at the Brunswick. She goes to her littlo den in The Traveller ofiice at 8:80 a. m.,and remains until 1, oftentimes later. The editor of The Chicago Inter Ocean said once that Miss Whiting's letters were the most acceptable he ever received.

This busy woman makes about $8,000 a year. Tho pile of books she can review in twenty-four hours (some one said) is almost incredible. She is a close friend and enthusiastic admirer of Kate Field, of Louiso Chandler Moulton and of Genevieve Ward. She gathers about her tho most interesting liter ary people, men and women. Sho is extravagantly fond of Boston, and prefets living there to living in any city in America. She was born in the west. Mary Clommer was one of her valued friends.—Lewiston Journal.

WeU Dressed. *"***%•r

I onco heard a mother v.-ho had been criticised for her personal vanity by a somowhat gossipy neighbor say that sho mado it a duty and a pleasure to keep well dressed, for she was likely at any hour to bo called upon to entertain friends whoso good opinion was of such consequence that sho could not afford to run tho risk of having them lind her in any but neat and presentable attire. Tho friends wot'o her husband and children she was fully compensated for her care in this directiun by their approval and appreciation. To be "well dressed'' was not to her mindab admission of extravagance. Good tcsto and good planning often stand in placo of dollars and ccnts, and tho lady in question was able to dress wcil on half tho cost of her. neighbor's wardrobe.—Laws of Life. t'f

A Dainty Present.

Mrs. August Belmont has tho finest collection of sapphires iu this country, though Mrs. Wiilinm Astor is credited with possessing tbe finest single one. When ono of tho younger Astors won married a dainty present was given her by her uncle. It was her wedding slippers they wero of v.hite satin, elaboratoIjtseodcd with pearls, put in a v^hito satin bos, on the inside of which in pale colors wero "lady's slippers" and on tho outside china asters. The sentiment was roally very pretty, aud tho work was most artistically done. r-Pittsburg Bulletin.

But few people arc aware that there exists in New York and Philadelphia a society of women who make it their business to look after tho welfare of shop girls and women employed in factories. The society has recently investigated a groat number of manufacturing establishments with a view to ascertaining the.variations in tbe rate of wages, tho efficiency of combination as a protective measure, and the hours of work. Whenever possible the condition of the working women has been materially Itenefited.

The common practice of n»fdn«r fainting persons to a sitting or upright position is often sufficient to destroy the spark of life which remains.

The Grand Old Woman.

Mrs. Gladstone has been all her life tho confidant and friend of her husband. Sho has no life apart from him. He has not another friend in equally confidential relations. Neither by omission nor commission has she violated her trust. Lady Palmerston and Lady Beaconsfleld hud each her salon. Lady Randolph Churchill has hers. In their drawing rooms polities is tho theme as freely as in the upholstered novels of the lato Disraeli. Mrs. Giadstono never had a salon. The only politician in hor boudoir all her lifo has been the Grand Old Man. What services she has rendered him, with sagacious counsel, with loving warning, with loyal consolation, only ho knows. When tho real life of Gladstone is written the twain will not be parted. The Grand Old Woman will go down to honor, where she has been so many years, side by side with tho Grand Old Man.—Chicago Times.

WHAT.SHALL WE WEAH?

LONDON, PARIS AND FASHIONS

NEW YORK

Hie Sew Court Bodices Approved by Queen Victoria and Offering Sngjjestions in Way of Evening Toilets to Ladles Who Cannot

Wear Decollete.

Since Queen Victoria has been pleased to permit the wearing of a high court dress at her majesty's drawing rooms, and Mrs. President Harrison lias announced her intention to wear gowns made with a high bodice, evening toilets that cover the shoulders deserve some attention.

FIG. 1—A NEW COURT BODICE. The accompanying illustrations show the new court bodices. The first one Is cut half high and is made of watered silk, the opening bordered by a cascade of lace, within which is a lisse fichu. Those who desire to have an entirely high bodice can have thin fillod up to the throat with lisse, lined with white silk, if it is needed thicker. It is essential that the addition, whether thin or thick, be white. The sleeves fall to tho elbow, and are finished by lace ruffles, arranged to show the arm to the best advautage, the lace drooping gracefully at tho back. The sleeves may, if desired, be entirely transparent. The sleeves in the other bodice are cut exactly on the same principle the lace headed by a turn back cuff of the material.

The shaped opening in front is bordered with lace and has a revere on either side. This pattern bodice is made in olive velvet, but it may be copied in any other material. A whito stomacher of satin, with a lattice work of pearls, comes from tho point at the waist to tho bust, where it is met by tho lace, and beneath it soft folds of lisse, which can bo lined or left as they are. Tho arrangoment of the lace permits tho neck to bo partly or entirely shown (if desired) in front, and the jewels can bp attached in such a way as

FIG. 2—A NEW COURT BODICE,

to cfFoct this. Thero is a short, square collar at the back of the neck, with the luco within but it is not sufficiently largo to form a ruff. It is a graceful, picturesque bodice, the idea inspired by a painting of a lady in the past century, which hangs on tho walls at tbe South Kensington picture gallery.

Fashions for Snmmer Dresses. The empire waist so suitable for thin summer goods is similar to an ordinary belted waist, with all its features accentuated, and worn with a broad sash. Tho fronts of this waist aro gathered on the shoulders and lap in surplice fashion on the bust, and sometimes tho back is also lapped. Other waists have tho fronts gathered to the shoulders of tho plain back and open in shapo at the throat, then drawn down to the waist line, while still others aro drajed across tho front in curving folds and trimmed down only ono side. The full, straight skirt is in keeping with these waists.

Full figures do not look well iu belted waists, and should wear instead basques or round waists made with darts and side forms. The princesse dress so becoming to full, rounded figures is being mado up in various ways iu all cotton stuffs. Long polonaises in princesse shapo very slightly draped on tho leftside, and the diroctoiro redingotes with*separate panels in tho back and sides, aro made of plain Chambery or lawn to wear above embroidered skirts that may bo of tho same fabric or else of whito embroidered muslin.— Harper's Bazar.

i-,! Fashions In Flowers. Real flowers, instead of favors, havo been freely distributed of late among wedding guests. At ono wedding each favor was composed of a Marshal Niel rose, spray of orango blossom and a sprig of white heath (a badge) at another lilies of the valley and their leaves, tied with silver cord and tassels, and accompanied by pearl beaded pin to fix it in by. The flowers will be those of the season, as the time goes on, till we arrive at tho month of rosea. A few bridal and ball bouquets have recently been made up on a flat circular or oval frame, with curled ostrich tips placed round tho edge, and all tho dclicate blooms massed within the plumed ring. A large bow at the handle and a bock of drawn lace or satin completed the arrangement. For room decorations great branches of lemon and orange trees, with fruit on them, are put into large, tall receptacles. These aro cosily but in many cases the leaves and branches are not the real thing, though many people fail to detect it, and tbe fruit is cleverly attached. The effect is excellent.

Spring Milliner}'.

In bonnets there is not so much change of style, except that they are smaller and lower than they were last year. A pretty little French one in blade lace, with «m«i'i green velvet bow*, had a front of delicate pink roses, under a fall of tha fine black lace. Tbo bows were placed, one a little to one side of the front, and the other at tho back, where ft broke tbe straight edge. Another.

Delicious Soups Without Meat. A Frenchman's recipe for a good soup without meat is tho following, which will furnish a valuable addition to the list of Lenten dishes: Put butter the size of a pigeon's egg into the saucepan. When very hot add two or three large onions sliced thin stir and cook until they are red. Add half a teacupful of flour, stirring until it is red, and taking caro that, it does not burn. Now pour in about a pint of boiling water, stir well, season with plenty of salt and pepper and let boil one minute. Then pour tho whole into tho soup kettle and set at the back of tho stovo till just before time to serve, when add a pint and a half or more of boiling milk and two or three boiled and mashed potatoes. Before putting in tho potatoes mix them up smooth and thin with a littlo of the soup. Stir all well together and simmer a few minutes. Put bits of toasted bread in tho soup tureen, pour in the soup and servo very hot.

Another tempting soup for tho season is made with chocolate. Break one-quarter pound of sweet chocolato in small pieces and dissolvo in a little water over tho fire add ono quart of milk and beat with tho egg beater until it boils add three yolks of eggs, but do not let them curdle, and pour over toasted bread. Tho whites may be beaten to a standing froth and placcd in heaps on tho soup beforo serving.

Breakfast Cakes.

Breakfast cakes of all sorts come in very conveniently at this season. Following aro some good recipes:

Johnny Cako—Ono cupful of Indian meal, one cupful whih) flour, one-half cupful (scant) of sugar, two cupfuls of buttermilk, two teaspoonfuls of soda, one-half teasjyjonful of salt. Tho measuro may vary in size from a small teacup to a bowl, provided tho proper proportions are kept and tho amount of soda aud salt changed to suit.

Rico Waflles—• One und a half pints of boiled rice, tho same of flour, half a teaoupful of sweet milk, one toaspoouful of soda, salt, threo oggs and butter the size of a walnut.

Horn toy Cako—Boil two cupfuls of whole honiiny for ono hour in milk, and add while hot a spoonful of butter next add three eggs beaten very light, stir in gradually a piut of milk, and lastly a pint of corn meal. Bake in a pan servo wrapped iu a napkin on a plate.

ISroilcri I'ls'i with Caper Butter. V,'ash a slico of halibut, dry it on a towel, lust it with jiepper and salt, place it on a double* fish gridiron, which has boon buttered to prevent tho fish sticking to it, and broil it light brown on both sides over a moderate firo. Any fresh fish may be used instead of halibut. In the meantime mix a tablcspoonful of chopped capers with a tablespoonfnl of cold butter, half a saltspoonful of salt and quarter of a saltapoonful of pepper use this mixture on tho fish when it is cooked. Chopped pickles of any kind may ba used instead of the capers. Either caper or pickle butter is excellent with any brollod or fried fish.
