•-Sst

The strictly fashionable, correct New York musicale is as solemn as an evening funeral, and as stupid as a lore scene in the original no one enjoys it but the performers. I think, without question, that you can manage to spend more money ami make a larger proportion of your guests uncomfortable at a musicale than at any other form of entertainment yet devised. In the first place there are the invitations, which must be engraved and read something like this:

Mr. and Mrs. 8mlth request the pleasure of Mr. and KLru Jones' company on Monday at: :8p.m. Music.

R. & V. p.

You send thivo invitations two or three weeks ahead to insure the presence of someof your guests, for people always avoid a musicale if possible, as they do an appointment with a dentist or an interview with a creditor. Then you set about procuring your talent for the occasion, and mortgage most of your property to pay them. You must send a carnage for every artist separately, for they are usually such antagonistic rivals that they couldn't be expected to ride the length of the block in the same vehicle. You furnish them with flowers, add your unbounded gratitude to the modest sum you pay and dress yourself in some quiet home drees, with no bonnet or glove, to receive your guests. Sometimes you give a musical luncheon, where you vary the programme by inviting a small number of your most intimate friends to luucheon and have the music afterward, to which it is quite com me il faut to invite as many people as you can accommodate in your rooms, though they were not present at the luncheon. Musical breakfasts are oi» the same general order, occurring a little earlier in the day, though 1 o'clock is the fashionable hour. Sometimes the music precedes the breakfast, and frequently a band of concealed musicians play through tho meal as well.

The style of music is extremely classical and very heavy. Wo are so cultured and melodious now that we don't enjoy any harmony that we really can understand, and we talk very knowingly of shading and motives, touch and phrases and expression, though, of course, we don't know what any of it really means. The others do not understand either, soltdoesu't signify no one knows if you make a mistake. A stylish musicale is hardly complete now without the Hungarian band, and the leader of that peculiar institution has been so flattered ami feted in America that he forgets sometimes that bo was once hired as a kind of uppsr servant by the Countess Esterhazy's father, who employed him to entertain his guests as he hired the butler to pour their wines. Mrs. Hicks-Lord was conversant of tho fact, and when, on a somewhat recent occasion, she paid 1200 or $300 for his services, and ho asked in addition to bo presented to her guests, she aim! her knowledge of bis former situation wftf^ great promptitude.

If you railly want to spend money on musioalo you can invite your personal friends to entertain the guests instead of hired operatic stars. Of course, they don't charge you anything, as they aro not] professional you just make them some little trifling presents of a brown stone block, a carriago and horses, a diamond tiara and some other little things of that kind, and remain forever under a burden of gratitudo besides. It is like having tickets sent you for the theatre or opera by a friend you have to giro them something in return that costs more than a box in tho grand row.

A muslcalo returns any kind of an obligation—a dinner, luncheon, reception or tea— and costs more than all of them in one. Bomo people give a series of musicales, threo or four In number, but one handsome musicolo in tho season is all that is really required or often given.—Interview in New York Sun.

European and American Women, Tho European lady is the idiot of her sex tho world over. She hasn't anything af all to do but dross, to eat, and to bo agreeable. But what has this led tof Read the following from tho i»n of Professor James Bryce, an English gentleman and scholar who visited this country to study sociology: "The average European fcnan has usually a slight sense of condescension when he talks to a woman on serious subjects. Even if •ho is liis superior in Intellect, in character, In social rank, he thinks that as a man he is her superior, ami, consciously or unconsciously, talks down to her. She is too much accustomed to this to resent it, unless it becomes tastelessly palpable. Such a notion does not cross an American's mind. Ho talks to a woman just as ho would to a man, of course with more deference of manner, and with proper regard to tho topics likely to Interest her, but giving her his intellectual best, addressing her as a person whose opinion Is understood by I Kith to be worth as much as his own. Similarly, an American lady does not aspect to havo conversation mado to her. It is just as much her duty or pleasuro to leadit as tho mull's is, and more often than not she takes the burden from him, darting along with a gay vivacity which puts to ahame his slower wits. "It need hardly be raid that the community at large gains by the softening and restraining Influence which tho reverence for womanhood diffuses. Nothing so quickly incenses the people as any insult offered to a woman. Wife beating, and indeed auy kind of rough violence offered to women, is far common among ho rudest class than it is in England* Field work or work done at the pit mouth of mines is seldom or never done by women iu America ».» the American traveler who in some parts of Europe finds women performing severe manual labor is revolted by the sight in a way which Europen ns tlnd *urpri»iu£.

She Got the Brush.

In the broad hallway of John B. Joffery's residence, on South Park avenue, hangs silver mounted fox's brush. One evening a party of friends who were calling there happened to mention tho Chicago fox hunt, and then Mr. JefTery took them out into tho hall and pointed up at the brush. "That was captured at a fox hunt by my little daughter. She was little then—only 13 years of agebut she has grown a greal deal since, as you can see. This was an English fox hunt, too. There was no play about it—it was hard work. They rode all day and came homo clad iu tatters." Then Mrs. JefTery spoke up. "Yes," she said, "it was glorious. Emma was invited to ride, and when she left the hotel in tho morning I was on the veranda to see the party off. Some young English snips who did not know mo sat near by and quietly laughed at the idea of a littlo American girl riding in a fox hunt with English peoplo. As they rode off Emma waved her hand at mo and I cried: 'Don't como back without that brush, daughter!' Then the young Englishmen slunk away. That evening, whilo wo were at dinner, tho party returned. Emma dqshed into the dining room, her habit in tatters, and, waving the brush about her head, she shouted: 'I got it, mammal' I tell you it was the proudest moment of my life, and those sneering young Englishmen were the first to make a heroine of her."—Chicago Herald. ________

•.,- \|*om«ii In the Garden. Why not? I have at least three personal acquaintances who owe much to old Dame Nature for renewed youth and new beauty of face and form gained by work in the garden. One is a lady of ample fortune, who loves her lawn, with its trees and vines and flowers as things of beauty. I doubt if the thought of health occurs to her, but the effect Is patent to all her friends. Another is a lovely little woman who has been in ill health for years. This season, moving to a new home, where her friends and acquaintances were scarce, sheer loneliness drove her to her garden. There the needs of the growing things appealed to her, and day by day her visits were repeated, until at last all her morning hours were spent among them, planting, training, weeding, thinning and digging. The result is tho renewal of health and strength unknown before for years, and new happiness and greater contentment. The third is a good woman whoso sorrows seemed piled mountain high through the loss by death within a few months of her husband and child, and of property as well Trained to no work as a girl, she seemed helpless. But her little garden demanded attention, and her very losses compelled her to work with her hands. Hero, too, the soothing balm of pure air, exercise and occupation workod its marvels iu recovered health, coutentriHertt and a spirit of self helpfulness.—Vick's Magazine.

A Good NatarvO Wife.

The old lady who never spoke ill of any one, and even intimated that Satan himself set some good people an example of perseverance, must have been a relative to the woman who lived in Sussex, England, In the days when the kettle was hung from the crane in an open fireplace. An English clergyman tells the story:

A mnn. whose wife was blessed with a remarksHy even temper, went over tho way to a neighbor one evening and said: 1 should like to sno my ^Hfe crossf ,u s. I've tried all I know, .n. I cant mnko ber cross, no way.B "Yo« can't mak your w" t* his neighbor. "I «i-h I cou

Fainting as a Fine Art.

"How does a woman faintf asked a lawyer after adjournment of court yesterday. "We had a young woman on tbe stand who iedared she had seen a hundred women taint, and that they all fainted with outstretched arms. Now, how does a woman faint? I declare I dont know. I have seen the interesting phenomenon a few times, but tho trouble is there's so much excitement that a man forgets to take observations. 1 think it would be an interesting question for the court to sift to the bottom. We would probably be deluged with contradictory testimony. In the first place, does a woman faint with outstretched arms? Are outstretched arms a sure sign of a faint? I believe it must depend a great deal upon what }he faints for. Why does a woman faint, and trhat does she do when she faints? "On the stage we have seen, for instance, •Decilla faint with Modus, but as I have seen it represented she held his hands tight in hers and then on his shoulders and then half way around his neck. I have seen the Mountain Maid faint She begins deliberately to say, •I am fainting,' then she repeats, 'I must faint.' finally declares she 'will just be real down.sick if she doesn't faint.'* Are the9e true reflections of feminine fainting off the stage? "Iam afraid the resources of testimony will be exhausted before giving us any rules for a genuine faint. Thero is such an infinite variety of phases that codification of laws of fainting is impossible. I confess I don't know when a faint Is a natural phenomenon and when it is a fine art."—Philadelphia Inquirer.

•r-,% Don't.'"

llMsre are several "donts" which should be observed whenever two or more women are gathered together, but which, alas! are frequently disregarded. For instance, dont say to a friend, "How stout you are growing:1' No lady likes to be told that she is plowing or has grown stout. If it be a fact she is doubtless quite well aware of it, and anxious to keep others from discovering it. Don't say, "Wow thin you are!" either, for both women and men loathe to be told that they are either stout or thin. Unless you .^n say, "How well you are looking!" it is better to maka no remark on the personal appearance of your friend. Dont tell a friend who has on a particularly becoming gown or bonnet that she looks ten years younger in that than in anything you have ever seen her wear. Dont tell her, either, that it is the most becoming thing you have ever seen her wear. That is an impeachment of her taste heretofore, though you orobably have no such thought.—Dress,

Bfrg. Vlllard's Romance."

Mrs. Henry Villard, wife of the remarkable financier, ex-president of the Northern Pacific, ex-king of Wall street, ex-bankrupt, the story of whose rise aiid fall and restoration makes one of the remarkable pages of American personal history, is the only daugh-, ter of William Lloyd Garrison. Mr. Garrison used to say: "I love all my children, but especially Fanny." She had four brothers. Ono day the eldest, Wendell Phillips Garrison, brought home a young German, a newspaper writer. His name was Heinrich Heilgard. The moment ho and Fanny met it was all over with them both—it was iove at first sight. Sho did not hesitate because he was poor. Her father's home was poor, but she had been very happy in it for all that, and she had boen taught that love is more than riches, Mrs. Villard is now 45 years old. She is petite, with a well rounded figure and ubundant gray hair and glorious dark eyes. —New York Star.

It would bo an interesting experiment for Women if some of them would keep an account of time just for one week as they would keep a cash account. Perhaps they would be astonished to find how easily time, like money, Is frittered away. Surely there are just as many hours in the day as there were when your grandmother, my dear Mrs. 3., brought up her family of soven children, doing all their sowing and mending, as well as a considerable portion of tho housowork, yet she found timo for an occasional afternoon with a neighbor or a friend, and for her correspondence, and didn't talk half as much about "not having any time" as you do.—Boston Beacon.

Tho Much Abused MotliCr-ln-Law. "Novelists and dramatists havo thrown much ridicule upon mothers-in-law, but how unjustly we might leave it to sons-in-law to say, for as a rule there is no one person with whom a man is on better terms than with his wife's mother. Ho is to her as anothep son from the day when she first gives her willing consent to her daughter's marriage with him. Sho is intrinsically his best friend in prosperity or in adversity. She rejoices in all good that comes to him, and he turns to her for advice and help in moments of difficulty, and mothers-in-law who attempt to usurp any kind of authority in the house of a son-in-law are the exception far more than the rule.— London Queen.

For Sore Throat.

'When soro throats are prevalent thero is a great deal of talk about the proper remedies for them. Chlorate of potash, which was for so long popular, has been decided by experts of tho throat to be not only serious injury to tho throat, but almost poison. A la to remedy is perhaps the best on record, and it is a very simple one. A teaspoonful of alum and one tablespoonful of best French brandy, put in a half tumbler of water, or a hnlf pint of water will modify it better. This gargle should be used several times during the day, and at night if the irritation or pain is troublesome. It will bo found an invaluable throat corrective. St. Lojis Globe-Democrat.

Troublesome Insects.

Cloth covered furniture which is in constant use will not be harmed, and tho same may bo said of cloth lined carriages. Where such furniture is stored away or kept unused in a dark room, or where tho carriages are left in a dark coach house through the summer, at least two sprayings with benrine, say once in June and once about Aug. 1, will be advisable. Another plan which will act as a protection in such cases is to sponge tho cloth linings and covers, on both where possible, with a dilute solution of corrosivo sublimate in alcohol made just strong en&Ugh not leave a white mark on a block feather.—Good Housekeeping. -¥.

FASHIONS IN DRESS THAT ARE APPROVED AT HOME AND ABROAD.

Bonnets ami Mantles Wiiich Quite New Styles That Promise to Be Popular Xuriug the Scanner Season—The

Wide License Given to Individual Taste.

There is no longer any excuse for ladies selecting bonnets and gowns that are unbecoming, for, so great is the diversity of styles this season, each lady may surely wear what best suits her own face and figure.

FASHIONABLE BONlfXTS AWD MANTLE8. There are bonnets that combine in their fashion the favorite half toque, half capote variety there are wide brimmed lace round bats, with open topped crowns there are small stylish toques and turbans, and there are picturesque hats with low crowns and turned down brims. There remains no question but that the hats are decidedly lower in the crown than formerly.

Some very pretty mantles havo been designed for outdoor wear. Many of these are of thick black silk cord guipure, over glace silk, or' else covered with jet. There are many black trimmings to be seen on medium tinted materials. The Le Capuchon mantle is made in velvet, very short, with plaited gleeves and two long black laoe ends. Somo pretty mantelets are formed of scarfs of cashmere, trimmed with applique embroidery, made like a straight scarf, long in front, the shoulders formed by a few gathers.

In the accompanying cut are shown two imported bonnets and mantles. One mantle, designed especially for young Indies' wear, is, of course, silk net, with revieres of fringes in beads and jet. The bonnet worn with this stylish little wrap is a black lace one, covered with pale green leaves and trimmed with ribbon bows.

The remaining figure shows a mantle in satin merveilleux, trimmed with laoe and rich jet The lace ends terminate with jet tassels. Tho hat is a fancy gray straw, trimmed with velvet and ribbon.

IjiCe

Black hosiery will remain in favor for general use, but colored stockings are again chosen to match house gowns and full dress toilets. Tan or gray lisle thread or silk stockings with tan or gray Suede slippers, and gloves of Suede of the same color, will still be worn with white, black or colored dresses.

An At Homo Toilet.'

Numbered with attractive reception dresses is the "at home" toilet depicted in the out here given.

Laco dresses described by Harper's Bazar are of Chantilly net, with or without scallops, in vine, arabesque and leaf patterns and stripes. A great deal of jet galloon is used upon these dresses, sometimes iu wide diagonal rows across the front of the gathered bodice, while others have jet leaf stripes set in rows down tho front of the bodice and of the skirt. Gold ribbon—metal ribbon like gold cloth—is oil other lace gowns, and many gal loons of mixed gold cord and jet beads. Moire ribbon is as fashionable as last year for trimming, and the economical reader will find that sho need not alter a well made laqe gown of last summer.

The gathered bodice, full slooves, and draped skirts still prevail, though there are novelties us well, such as deeply draped laoe aprons plaited in front and curving up each side to meet quite short in the back below the waist line. Thero are also alternate breadths of Chantilly net and of plain Brussels net, tbe latter crossed by many rows of milliners' folds made of black gros grain a narrow lace flounce edges each breadth at tbe foot, and hangs separate from the foundation skirt of faille, of poau de soie or of moire.

Fashion Notes.

Tho plain gold ring now, as for many years past, remains the correct style in wedding rings. The engagement ring permits of the gratification of individual taste, and is usually set with tho gem most admired by tho fair fiancee.

Many of the jewel topped hairpins have one pin twisted and the other Btraight to insure tho ornaments keeping a firm hold in the hair. Crests and coronets of filigree gold, which are exceedingly popular designs for brooches, are also employod for hairpin tops.

It is of woven willow in graceful shape and artistic pattern, enameled in white and dacorated with gold bands, stripes and splashes. Decorator and Furnisher tells that for these chairs the palest of moss green, Gobelin's blue or old pink plush is fashioned into cushions, bold in place with broad sashes of delicately tinted ribbon. Among other attractive or quaint things noted by the same authority are the following

Low divans to put in one corner of a small room, or between a window and Are place, are easily made by covering two small mattresses, and laying one upon tbe other. Another small mattress is covered and hung, by means of hooks and rings, to the wall just above the divan, so that the edge reaches to it

In window seats where space will permit, two or even three shelves may be fitted in, the upper ono cushioned for a seat or used for a stand for flowers, and the under ones for books and odds and ends. A curtain of India silk, hung on a tiny brass rod, will conceal the litter of papers and magazines which will accumulate in spite of continual weeding out. In a chamber it matas a good place for hiding boots and shoes.

In English libraries and collections are preserved many missals and antique volumes bound in elaborately embroidered covers, once the property of kings and queens. Book embroidery would seem to have had great fascination for Queen Elizabeth, for a number of well authenticated specimens of her handiwork in this line are in existence, one of them done by tho littlo princess when but 11 years old as a present to her mother Queen Katharine. During tho Seventeenth century this species of embroidery was an art brought to great perfection by tbe English. A small ccpy of the Psalms, mado at that period, has as a cover a most perfect design of a tulip exquisitely workod on white satin in colors and in featherstitch surrounded by what might be called almost a strong wall of silver. The silver thread with which tbe outer border is worked is so delicately sewn that although it Is in high relief it is difficult to detect a stitch, and the satin ground, though perfectly fiat, is not at all pulled by all tho strong work on it.

Among work of today is that of a young girl who has embroidered a cover for a volume of WWier's poems, corH«tiiyj of thick piled gr «n velvet, the d? i,~r» be ins a monrrrr.'.m of tho poet's initials In ld and silv th.--nis with rnrivT*,ional bui\JT.
