RIDE'S TROUSSEAU.

THE DRESSES ARE THE LEAST IMPORTANT PART.

The Trlnujph of the Whole Uei In the Accessories Bclomrlns to Each Costume. Le#cr.'ption of Wedding Dress and TT»Tclla: Costume.

Al'ih-.r'ih tho question, "Is marriage a hasnever beendefinitely ausworvd, herd remains not a doubt as to th-i picaHTirablo excitement attending tli aecnirinlatitatf of tho wedding trousseau. The cbas^ after becoming bonnets, a pkC:ora of dainty but costly lingerie a trunks full of stylish gowns is an enjoyable one to the average woman. This accumulation promises for once in a lifetime at least that faultless attire which induces a feeling of satisfaction and exhilaration. Then, too, the pleasure does not stop with the prospective bride. There are the dear 600 friends to consider. Through their tboncand hands each article of the parapher-

nalia must pass under their thousand •yes, every garment, every ornament must bear close scrutiny. However exclusive a lady may be in ordinary times, at this extraordinary time fashion has decreed and friends expect an exhibition of the trousseau and the wedding presents.

Tho multiplicity of articles time has developed for comfort and luxury, with tho love of expense and display that is counted among the characteristics of this material age, has led ladies of the present time into extravagances in bridal perquisities that are senseless extravagances.

A trousseau sufficiently extensive to bring tho consciousness of being supremely well dressed does not necessitate a couple of dozen dresses that will be out of style before they have been worn twice. The actual dresses are the least important pari: of the trousseau, and sufficient to carry one through one season is all that is necessary. The real gist of the whole matter lies in the accessories, the special accouterments belonging to each individual costume—the right gloves, stockings, shoes, the one and only hat, veil and handkerchief. In these minutiffi tho taste and individuality of tho woman come out, for the dressmaker, if she is worthy of the name, will take care that the gowns are satisfactory, but each woman can work her own sweet will on the etceteras. In a word, look after the details, and the dresses will take care of themselves.

The crowning triumph of the bride's trousseau is of course the wedding dress. This may be made in white, satin or silk, as the bride prefers. Real lace is the preferred, garniture along with real orange blossoms, when these latter are practicable, and when not artificial ones may be employed. It is now permissible for brides to wear diamonds when these gems are included among the wedding presents.

At a recent wedding in high life the bride was attired in a dress, the bodice and train of which were of white striped satin and moire, trimmed with chiffon and sprays of orange blossoms and myrtle. The petticoat was of white satin. She wore a tulle veil and carried a bouquet of white flowers tied with satin ribbon, the gift of the bridegroom. Two little girls, who acted as train bearers, •were dressed in loose white satin frooks and Puritan bonnets of white lace. Four bridesmaids followed in gowns of white satin, veiled with indian muslin, and pale blue satin sashes were arranged round the waists, white hats, ornament-

ed with roses, white chiffon and blue relvet. The bridegroom presented them with diamond forgetmenot brooches and bouquets of carnations and lilies.

Another important dress is the one which the bride wears on leaving home. Many of the bride's "going away" gowns this season will be tailor made cloth ones, and there will be inoluded in the trousseau one of the new long ooats for traveling. Auc* VABHTOL

IN A CORNER.

Take Care of the Corner*, and th« Will Take Care of Xteetf.

In the arrangement of a room corners are not sufficiently considered. Very few persons appreciate their capabilities. In a room of ordinary size and finish empty corners are especially ugly, while for handsomely furnished houses there are corner cabinets and other expensive devices to meet this very need. Corner cupboards are always interesting and seem to belong naturally to the delightful room that is not furnished in any testicular "tone" or style, but where ''bits of color" and odd and unexpected things look very much at home. A room that had a wonderfully cheerful effect gave the impression on first entering that a swarm of mammoth butterflies had taken possession of the corners and expanded their wings contentedly over the pictures. But a closer inspection revealed the fact that brilliantly tinted folding Japanese fans were spread out butterfly fashion over the modest fn.gravings and heliotypea that mostly constituted the works of art, while the corners of the room were ornamented with stacks of the handled variety, on which the most gorgeous tints in the moat impossible of combinations ran riot

The comparatively new fashion of a cor .- divan is both attractive and comfortable, and few besides the gifted home maker with a slender purse know how very little in addition to brains is needed for its accomplishment. One of this class, says Harper's Bazar, fell in love on general principles with a pieoe of cretonne, that was alluringly cheap and wonderfully pretty. It had masses of pink, red andp cream tinted rosos, with exquisite buds and leaves, on a ground of pale gray that was soaroely visible. She passed this prize twice and then bought it just for its beauty, without the least idea of what sfce could do with it. The cretonne was a delight to the eye, and, viewed only as a picture the $1.50 invested in it did not seem to have been thrown awr.y.

It was not long before her inspiration came in the shape of a corner that proved a brilliant success. The seat itself was fitted by the carpenter like a bracket and then stuffed and tufted by the lady herself, the rose cretonne being fastened across the front with brass headed nails and carried up on either side to around ed point in the center that was about a yard above the seat, sloping gracefully down on either side. The brass headed nails on each edge made quite an ele gant finish. A puff and short valance of the cretonne finished the edge of the seat, and at some little distance above the top there was a novel canopy. This was made of another shelf, considerably smaller than the seat and edged with the same brass headed nails. Artificial smilax, that was wonderfully deceptive, formed a graceful fringe, and a rose bowl on the cretonne covered shelf held exquisite paper roses perfumed with attar and renewed at the first dimming of their freshness.

A chair only, especially if it be one of the pretty, half octagon, rattan chairs, will make a corner attractive, and with the wickerwork enameled in cream and gold and the seat and upright panels covered with silk in a light shade of old red it is appropriately fitted for its mission. A hassock covered with the same silk, having a little gold decoration, adds greatly to the effect.

Convenient Sewing Case.

A sewing case that meets the requirements of travelers is described by Mod eru Priscilla as follows:

It may bo made of kid, chamois or cloth. It is cut a little wider than the spools, whioh are held in place by a cord run

through than and fastened by a loop to a button sewed to tho edge of the case. Provide a flannel lining for the needles and turn up one end of the case, thus making a pocket for buttons, which should be sowed on cards. Bind the caso with silk or worsted braid and attach strings of the same for tying, shut.

The t"*efal Chafing Dish.

The aristocratic chafing dish bids fair to become a democratic utensil in tenement house reform. In nickel silver the dish costs as high as $25, but different sizes are being put into the market now in granite ware, which run as low as fl 60. These cheaper dishes serve their purpose equally well, and it is the hope of the philanthropist to introduce them into the workingman's home, so that he can have a hot supper without the discomfort of a hot coal stove at his back. So far the concoctions oooked in the chafing dish have been delicate and dainty, but experiments are being tried to see if heartier viands cannot be prepared over the alcohol lamp. Eggs are easily oooked for breakfast in several different ways. Cold roast veal may be used up by cooking in bits in the dish with a cupful of gravy, a half teacupfnl of milk, a can of mushrooms, yolks of 2 eggs, pepper and salt Heat gravy and milk, add beaten eggs slowly, then mushrooms and in a few minutes the veal. An ingenious housewife will soon discover endless variety in chafing dish •lands.

Choeolate Podding.

Add 8 tablespoonfuls of boiling water to 8 ounoes of chocolate. Let it melt over the fire then add a quart of creamy milk. Half cream is none too rich. Sweeten to taste add a little salt and half a teaspoonful of vanilla. Last stir in the well beaten yolks of 8 eggs. Bake until set then cover with a meringue made from the whites of the eggs beaten very light, sweetened with powdered sugar and delicately flavored with vanilla. Let the meringue brown in a very quick oven. To be eaten oold.

Wonderful and extraordinary events among well-known women strongly and powerfully interest all. This country is filled with noble-minded women wbo earnestly desire to promote the welfare of their sex. One of the brighestand moat intellectual of these ia Mrs E L. Taylor, who resides ^t 17 Baker Block, Main street, Ticonderoga, N. Y. She says: "A year ago I became fearfully nervous and completely run down ao tka? I was obliged to stop work. I got so that I could hardly eat anything and what little I did eat distressed me terribly. I had nervous prostration and dyspepsia, and was terribly weak.

vice, one that provides a speedy and effectual method of tying, hanging and untying storage bags of paper or cloth.

When the bag is filled, take the twine, oord, tape or whatever material is chosen for a tie string, fold it in the middle and tie the two ends together in a solid knot with two little ends, pass the doubled cord around the neck of the bag and slip the whole end through the knotted end. Draw the loop through and pull it up as tightly as possible. The bag will then be tightly closed, and there will be a long loop of the oord by which it may be suspended, the weight of the contents constantly serving to tighten the closure.

To instantly open the bag, with no bother of untying strings or cutting or picking out knots, drop (lie suspension loop, take hold of the two little ends, give them a downward pull, and the bag is opened. You find yourself with the long doubled oord in your hand, ready to use again and again, and you wonder why you never made use of the simple little patienoe saving devioe before.

The Dress Soft Case.

The traveling bag known as the drees suit case was, says the New York Herald, originated about 85 years ago. For

The positive and straightforward state ments made by the far-sighted and deep thinking men and women who are cured by Dr, Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, gives to these testimonials such strength and influence that everybody acknowledges the genuine worth and marvelous power to cure of this wonderful medicine.

Everybody takes Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy for it always cures, IMtfeSfSfeSJs sine, bul

It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by anyone, at any time, free of charge, personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of the benefioial action of this wonderful medicine.

about 80 years it was used almost exclusively for the purpose indicated by its name. About five years ago it began to grow in favor as a bag for general use,'and its salo as such has sinoe increased rapidly. Its thinness made it easier to carry, and it was leas wearing on the clothes of tho person carrying it. Things packed well in it, and it was a convenient bag to stow under a berth in a sleeping oar, and it commended itself generally as an all around bag.

It was said at a well known trunk and bag establishment that of all the traveling bags of that size now sold* probably 50 per cent are dress suit cases. Probably less than 10 per cent of these are bought for the exclusive carrying of dress suits. The large majority of them are bought for use as regular traveling bags. They are made in various sizes and depths, the deeper ones being known as deep dress suit oases.

Hanging Shelves ard Brackets*

In designing hanging shelves, oabi* nets or brackets it is well to bear in mind that any weight put upon tho shelves tends to pull the nail by which the whole concern is held out of the wall If the shelf is deep, it may be loaded to the edge, and thus exert a great leverage. It is well, therefore, to make the shelves as narrow as they o®11 be and yet be serviceable. Again, the nearer the point of suspension is to the •helf the greater the leverage exerted by the latter upon the nail or hook which supports it It is best, then, to make a hanging cabinet tall and shallow, or, if another shape is required, at least to hang it. from near the oeiling by long cords, says The Art Amateur.

Almost as popular as aooordion plaiting is the prevailing craze for a lace collar. In fine lace, in coarse lace, in points and in squares, in a combination of net with an applique of lace, made to wear with a high bodice or a low bodioe, you may see the lace collar in all its pleasing varieties. Guipure, duchess and point de venlse are perhaps the most popular kinds.

A cough which persists day after day," should not be neglected any longer. It means something more than a mere local Irritation, and the sooner it is relieved the better. Take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It is prompt to act and sure to cure.

'HINTS ON TEACHING MUSIC.

Instruct Children to Bead Music as They Bead Their Primers—Hlng Every Tune.

The point about care in the very first instruction cannot be too strongly emphasized, nud that every parent should expect his child to lay first a good, solid, scientific foundation in technique. If children wore brought up to road music as they read their primers and were kept at the pianos as a duty, as the little Germans are, instead of making practice optional with tho child, we should have a very different musical standard in this country.

In some cities the public schools are making a start in the right direction, and if a suitable imd practical system comes into general use tho next generation will be much more musical than the one now rising. Canadian Musician writes:

I have recently visited schools where obildren of 8 were carrying two part harmony reading at sight, and doing it accurately too. This, of course, is all vocal music, but that is so essential to any sort of instrumental musio that, if possible, I would teach all my pupils to sing before they played a note, and then, combining the two, they should sing every tune they learned to play. Unfortunately, as yet, people are not willing to wait for all that, so we havo to begin in the middle and work both ways, with infinitely more pains to teacher and scholar.

The practice of learning good music by heart is commendable, but it may bo carried too far. For instance, I know a young girl who commits everything she learns, even to etudes and Bach fugues. As she is studying all the time, she naturally cannot keep them all in practice, and so it is only a' few of her latest attempts that she ever can play, while the habit of playing without her uotes so constantly makes her a very indiffei^nt reader, so that she scarcely can manage anything not recently committed.

I think it should be considered a part of a liberal education to know the theory of musio as thoroughly as any other branch of science and the history of it as well as ancient history, or the history of art, oven if one never practices enough to become a performer, This is really the least noticed of any of the departments of music. Some may think it enough merely to execute without knowing anything about it, but it should be reversed. Everybody should know and should play on some instrument as much as is necessary to that knowledge, and then the few should execute in a manner to delight such an intelligent public.

Fur Trimmed Garments. $

Numbered with the early importations of fur garments are two outside wraps that are likely to be extremely popular during the winter of 1894-5—namely,

LONG COAT—FtTR TRIMMED JACKET.

the long cloak of faced cloth, with cuffs, revers and fringes of fur, and the fur trimmed jacket

A navy blue cloth long coat seen was trimmed with Canadian sable. A stylish jacket in blue cloth and lined with brocade was trimmed with ouffs, revers and facings of dark Russian sable. It was also braided with black in military fashion.

The ouly permanent cure for chronic catarrh is to thoroughly expel the poison from the system by the faithful and persistent use of Ayer's Sarsaparllla.

This

wonderful remedy proves successful when all other treatment has failed to relieve the sufferer.

Remove to a vegetable dish aud thicken a part of the water in whioh the cauliflower was cooked, with flour stirred smooth with thick cream. The sauoe must not be too thick, but so that it may be poured easily. Pour it over the cauliflower, dot with bits of butter and serve hot
