'i-

[Copyright, 1896.]

This kind of weather makes one fully appreciate the horror of Dante's seventh hell where, Instead of being comfortably warm, the poor souls sleep, sit on and eat ice, and, when they are remorseful, weep icicles. As well as possible, this state of affairs has existed in most homes out I am so taken up with a burning indignation that I feel more and more comfortable, as far as warmth goes every minute, aud more and more indignant the more I think about some things 1 have Just heard. I hope all newspaper editors are going to be very nice, and write out three very personal' affairs. A little while ago a woman call ing herself "Mrs. Coe," was at a hospital in Philadelphia. While she remain^ there, she told to the nurses arid jjfho.©ver would listen to her a story that is absolutely untrue. She announced that she was "Bab," and had cast aside her husband's qame, land taken the one under whiohcshe was born. Now thii woman is a fraud. "BAB" IS NOT "MRS. COE," Coe, was not her maiden name. Bab was never in a hospital, she has not been to Philadelphia for three years, and she bears hex husband's name with as much pride as she did the day she first took it. So much for "Mrs. Coe," whoever and wherever she may be.

Another woman, name unknown, has, I believe, been cavorting about in the Western states, being entertained at hotels, given theater and railroad passes because she was "Bab." "Bab" has never been further west than Buffalo in her life. She never knew the Joy of a railroad pass but once, and then she forgot to use it aud bought a ticket. When she goes to hotels, she pays her way. I hope, if ever these two women are heard of again they will be arrested and held tontil I can get where they are, and then I don't think there will be any necessity for having a stove in the room.

The next sufferer from fraudulent representation is my friend, and the woman love best next to my mother, Ruth Ashmore. For two years Miss Ashmore has been a bit of an invalid. She has not been away from her. home, which she shares with me, except to go to the country. The false "Ruth" solicited subscriptions, and I believe got a great number, something which Ruth Ashmore never did, for her work is in a different line. This woman was entertained by kindly people, and visited largely throughout northern New'York. I believe she is, Just now, thinking over things behind the walls of a penitentiary but my friend asks me to say that when she does go among strangers, they will only find out when they grow to know her very well, that she is not merely •'Miss Ashmore, a pleasant woman," but the "Ruth Ashmore" who counts among her acquaintances and friends so many girls all over the country. So much for myself and my kin, and, indeed, dear Mr. Editor, who will blame me for being angry

This was talked over when we were having our tea, and after I had expressed myself decidedly and made the air cheerful, we began to discuss other things, and this story was told. A young Englishman, a theatrical manager, Whose diamond* are as large as his ambition, and whose rings are as innumerable as his flow of words, said daman,apropos of his ability: '^The thing to do, dear boy, is to catch theearof the vox populi." After we had all laughed somebody else got to talking about the

PRIMA DONNAS AND THJSIFTLOST DOOS They seem to get dogs to lose them. My private opinion is that the reason a prima donna likes a dog is because he masters her when nobody else can. She becomes his slave, and every woman likes master, even if it is one with four legs and tail capable of expressing Joy or sorrow. Tue time has come for dag stories.

Mists Baoknumber hurled this chest nut at us yesterday. She knew a dog, in faot it belonged to her brother-in-law (this dog always di*s belong to one's brother in-law, or one's cousin). He had his leg broke, and a kind-hearted young doctor took him to a hospital, set his leg and kept him there for two or three weeks, permitting him to enjoy all the luxuries of the season, and to live an idyllic dog life. The time came for him to go. About a week after the doctor was standing at a window looking out on the street, and he saw his dog friend trotting toward the hospital with something in his mouth. In time, the doctor saw it was a penny. The little dog stop ped just in front of the door there stood a pushcart man, who sold such sponge oakes as only a dog can appreciate. He hesitated. All his soul went oat to the sponge cake, which he knew the penny would buy, but the nobler feelings triumphed. Dropping tear in jnemory of the lost dainty, h® trotted up the steps and dropped the peony in the box at the' door for the poor patients. This was a noble pup, but unfortunately for the young vooio who told the story, nobody laughed, for we had all told it onnelvee, and we bed all olaiaaed that dog as being attached to us in someway. bah'SKWA'twoh

Now, my dog etory l» true. Thai's where It differs from every other do*

stry. A dog wbo frequently dines with me, a fox-terrier, rejoicing in the name of "Bleekins," always stops as he enters the front door aud wipes his feet on the mat. I ask nobody to believe this. It is asking too much even to demand that one's own kin should accept itj but I know it is -rue. Another dog was told about then by a young woman, who pronounces vase as if it were spelled "vahse." She claims to have a pug that, when he hears her play the march from "Lohengrin," joins in and sings it in parfect time! I saw my mother adding bitter salt tears to her tea when this was told, for she has an old fashioned idea in regard to the value of truth, and yet she expected us to believe this: She knew a dog, in fact he belonged to her brother, who wouldn't eat terrapin unless it was diamond-back and had plenty of eggs in it. After this everybody took their tea without sugar.

But, really and truly, there is a dog of my acquaintance who won't eat in the kitchen unless some of the family go out and sit with him, because he is soaristo cratic. He oocks up his nose and wags his tail from side to side, as if he were trying to tell of the blue blood in his veins, and to make you understand thoroughly that he would not, associate with the queen of the kitchen., The tilling of dog stories is undoubtedly demor alizing. ^Everybody knows of the man i?how a8 on his deathbed, and w\o started tc^tell the preacher a dog story. Tha&nvalid's breath5grew short, and all he"said was: "I once knew a remarkable dog in fact, he belongjd t?".my nephew," when he weakened arid gasped." The minister said, very tenderly "My friend, do not make any effort rest ass.ur&d Ave will meet in heaven." He gave a gasp an4 said: "Are you sure cf it?" The preacher answered, "Yes." The dying man's eyes brightened there was rfflash of intelligence in his face, and with his last breath, he said: "Remind me-then to tell you the rest of that story." S

THE DICTIONARY CHEWING DOG. After this too-true't&le, Can i£,be said that dog stories sure nbt dangerous? The drinking of absintho is as nothing, and cbe worst of It is that women take to them as naturally as a fish does to water, and when one comes to think of it, this is something they never do about fish stories. I know of a lifelong friendship being broken by a dog story. The dog in question was the omnipresent fox terrier, and he was olever. One woman gave him to the other, and the woman who gave him felt that she had a right to use her imagination about him, while the woman who-owned him felt that it was her privilege, and they quarreled about that, and while, they .were doing this the dog'ate the back dff'pf Worcester's dictionary, and so gave his mistress an opportunity to explain her versatility in regard to words. And this made the other woman madder than ever. And these two parted in sorrow and tears, and the cause of it. all lived a happy life, slept the sleepof the unjust and of dogs, ate the fat of the land, and never knew what it was to worry about servants or fire insurance, but counted all the world as his slaves.

There is that wonderful dog who goes to buy a penny bun, and walks out of the bake shop insulted, and never goes there any more, because the baker tried to defraud him by giving him, for bis penny, a stale bun, when he knew that they sold at two for a penny. Then there is the dog who, when he saw the curtains on fire, got up on a ohair and pressed the button of the fire alarm, and after this awakened everybody in the house by biting at their toes, and stood by the baby's eradle, holding its oloak in its teeth, and having the fire insurance policy, whioh he had gotten out of his master's desk, seourely pressed down under his tall. This dog was just a little too knowing, though. He is the sort that would sit up

WITH TWO IX)VERS AS A CHAPERON, and bark whenever the lover attempted to kiss the young woman whom he loved with a mad, despairing passion.

Then there is the dog who sleeps beside the baby, and when it has a croupy cough, wakes up the mother, and then trots over to the closet where Dr. Pinkeyes' Croup Dispeller is kept. I never have met these dogs, but I hear of them frequently, and they always belong to the blood kin of the woman who is telling.about them. She always introduces her story in the same apologetic way—

I knew a dog. in fact, he belonged to my anat Strah"—and then the rest of the party looufe solemn, wonder if suloide is against the law, how many years are given for woman-slaughter, and if the morgue is full.

FOR THOUGHTFUL PKOPKK.

What a blessing it is that the law doesn't have one up for thinking. Of oourse there are a number of people who would never be had up, as early in life they worked their thinking machines so hard that they got out of order. But there are some evil thoughts always with us. iyilli

Who hasn't thought that Herod ought to wear a halo, when the children in the fiat above have a good romp on a carpetlees floor?

Who hasn't thought that the fool* kiiier wasn't doing his work when the newspapers tell of the riches of the man who gained them by preaching unbelief?

Who hasn't thought that cook-book writer*, who advise boiling a leg of mat ton four hours, ought not to be allowed to promulgate these dangerous doctrines?

Who hasn't thought that it was time for all modest women to be careful about their daughters when other women start to tell stories unly fitted for barrooms?

HOMEMADE DUESSES.

THE DOLMAN MANTLE AND HOW TO CUT IT.

More Elegant Than a Jacket, It Is Easier For an Amateur to Fashion—How to Regulate Length and Width—New Blouse

Waists.

[Copyright, 1895, by American Preps Association.]

The latest move of importance in dressmaking is the renewal of the dolman cape or mantle without sleeves. These are made long, generally reaching below the knee. They are adapted for evening wraps, for 'the street and visiting, and they are always more elegant and dressy than any jaofeet for women. The jacket Is better adapted for youth and |or ordinary wear. ...

In faking a three-quarter dolmap'mantle the" pattern'oiin be drafted easily from the diagram herewith, thd front edge being laid eVen With the selvage, with as much turned,in as may be desired. This, however, must' be allowed for before the rest is marked. It will be-noticed that on the shoulder»seam there is one flattened space that is-4 inches wide, and following the two lines down is to be laid in a plait, which allows. for the opening for the habds. The width across the bust from the marks, aside from the space marked for the plait, shou'ld~be the size of the bust from the arm size and should be easy, not tight. The oircular line shows the rounded shbulder portion. The width of each front at the bottom should depend somewhat dq the figure of tho wearer, but a good way to get it is to pass atapelfne around the body where the'BoCtpm of |he mantle will be and get trllO numbed of iriches, divide it into three, two parts far the fronts and th£ o$h£r for the back,

The back part is out on the fold of. t^e cloth, and the lower portion is not'dlvided. The jog is to be laid in two flat plaits at the whist line. Tile centefr back seam should first be seamed and pressed flat, these plaits laid in and sewed down under neat arrowheads. The front plait should then be laid and stitched to the lining. The lining, of the front part should be narrower by the size of the plait than the outside. The lining and outside Should be sewed together, turned and pressed. The plait will then fall naturally into place and can be basted and later stitohed into place. v5

The armholes are marked OO and should be cut and bound from the inside. The shoulder seams should then be sewed together, and then the back and front portions basted carefully, beginning from the bottom. The back portion should have been lined and pressed and the seams basted firmly about two inches from jfch^ edge to allow the lining on that side to liar back and not.be taken in with the seem." J'

When the backs and fronts are basted together, the upper portion of the circular part will be gathered closely into'the space left for it and sewed firmly to the shoulder. The lining all around is left loose frondi the material, and as soon as the seams are pressed it should be felled down very neat*r*.i

DIAGRAM OF DOLMAN MANTLE,

ly, the stitches taking hold upon the pressed seams only. Another slight pressing with medium hot irons will add to tb?, smooth appearance'of the garment. An ease belt or ribbon is to be fastened at the waist line in the back to hold that snug.

There remains now the ornamentation. The collar may be a plain turndown, or there may bo a high mediois, or, in fact, any kind proving becoming. A sprung or slashed overcape is sometimes added, particularly when the mantle is intended for evening wear, and this is bordered with fur of some kind. When the mantle is made of plush, velvet or heavy silk, a rich trimming of passementerie or heavy lace applique or silk embroidery may be put on, and a border of fine blaok skunkskin is always an addition.

When it is desired to lengthen this into along cloak, all there is to do is to lengthen the lines, always making it a little larger around the bottom, as it is longer. When the garment Js made of woolen goods, it must be evenly shrunken before it Is made up otherwise dampness pmy entirely change its form. When it is dtisired as a warm winter wrap, it should be interlined with a flexible flannel mado for the purpose, or it may bo lined with fur, such as Siberian squirrel. Many ladies have old ^circular capes lined with that fur, and it can- be utilized to line a mantle^

The cape, If any, to wear over this style of mantle must fit the shoulders flat and fall smoothly down. When finished, the lady who likes to wear a distinguished and elegant garment will be pleased.

A word may be said oaf he distinguishing feature of the nfew blouse waist and how to attain it. There are full gathered fronts and backs, with belts, as usual, but the front of the waist is rounded downward about two to four inches. The fronts are lined somewhat stiffly, and then the gathers, or plaits, as may be, are taken in and sewed to the belt. This sets the front out sharply just above the belt. Many of them have straps down the center of the shoulders, and to these the waist is gathered in Garibaldi style. Others have tho sleeves lengthened on the top and the extra length plaited up to the collar in a plait l)j inches wide.

ARTISTIC FURNISHING.

Correct Principles as Explained

bjr The

Decorator and Furnisher.

Apiece of furniture good in design, good in material, good in workmanship, designed for a purpose and used for that purpose is always beautiful. A good Bhape needs no ornamentation, and a bad shape is mafle worse by ornamentation, which only gives emphasis to its defects. Floor and wall coverings should form backgrounds for pictures, cabinets and furniture, but the vulgarian will not have it so, and the consequence is With flowers on the wall, flowers on the

UPHOLSTERED SEAT UNDER WINDOW, floor and furniture everywhere, taste dies by yiolciice, and the apartment, instead of' being a resting, restful plaoe, is a storeroom for fufmfcure.

Good taste is too precious1to be saorificed'to quantfty^tt is n6t necessary to furnish a house or even a room completely witfh a giveirsum. Ode good article a year'is better than- a lot of inexpensive,showy things. There is too much reokless buying. It-is a wise-plan to study the needs of aaropm, to select a piece for its utility first tfeen if the de-,, sign is artistic, if,t,be lines are good and if it, is well made, ijb,»jih^t be beautiful. SynpleAthiugs are'apt cheap, butat pays to buy fbem, in,.the long.rji|).,,6i}g never tires of ^simplicity. .j,

Good "taste can be illustrated in inexpensive materials. Wall papers are made in the most delicate tints of color, and for'those'who like haugings and cannot afford silks "or tapestries there are cottons and gunny cloth that admit of most artistic effects. It is the same with carpets. Solid colors are always good, and besides velvets and Wiltons there are felts and momie cloths of the same variety of color. As me&ns permit, a few rugs may be bought, and if properly selected eaoh will be a picture on the floor.

A great mistake is made in trying to make $500 do the work of $1,200. Sacrifice everything but taste and be content to get good pieces by degrees. Prefer hard wood and good workmanship every time to ridiculous decoration.

Speaking of lounges, couches and sofas, there is an economy in upholstered seats which can be built, as the old ingle nooks were, between 'the fireplace and the wails or below tHd window.

A Dollhoifefe. i"'«•

A dollhouse is a gtfeat pleasure to little girls, and even boys do not disdain to play witli one" if "the other boys" are not too near. Much satisfaction can be extracted from a homemade one, a large box with vertical and horizontal partition forming four rooms. A ourtain is hunjg in front, and the little housekeeper is as happy furnishiiJg and arranging it as if it ^ere one of the costly mansions with glass windows and real doors which are out of the reach of ordinary pocketbooks, says a writer in Ladies' Home Journal. Everything that is necessary to furnish a house can be procured in miniature, from lamps for the drawing room to mops for the kitohen. Tubs, wringer and washboard for the laundry, a revolving clotheshorse and clothespins leave no excuse for the e^isteiice of soiled linen. Ranges in whioh afire can be built, scales that Will weigh the ingredients for a tiny batch of cake, tin bathrooms, with bathtubs that will hold water to give the washable dolls a bath, afid refrigerators, which are exact models of the larger ones in everyday use, make doll housekeeping easy.

A visit to a large toyshop is a revelation to those of us who in the days of our youth had to make our own properties for the dramas of doll life which we loved to enact. Here are not only dolls' fans, parasols, shoes and stookings, watohes aud earrings, bracelets and pins, but nursing bottles for baby dolls, two sizes, looking dainty enough to satisfy the hungriest dolly that ever clamored for sterilized milk.

AMUSING CIVIL ENGINEERS..

Colonel King at Willett's Point Shows Them His Big Magnet.

One day during the recent convention in New York about 100 members of the American Society of Civil Engineers, with their wives and other ladies, vis ited Willett's Point and spent several hours as guests of Colonel William King, commandant of the post. The post band was brought aboard the steamer, and with music, dancing and feasting an hour was spent merrily. ':V Colonel King then announced that a few experiments with his large electromagnet and some submarine explosions would be given for the entertainment of the party.

Beer kegs were substituted for the regular torpedoes, as the latter are too expensive for ordinary experiments, and the kegs serve the purpose as welL Three kegs were exploded at intervals of a few minutes. They contained respectively 165, 150 and 140 pounds of giant powder. The large explosion of the larger charge threw a wooden buoy about 170 feet in the air and made a waterspout nearly 100 feet high.

The attention of the party was next directed to Colonel King's huge gun magnet which stands on top of thfe ramparts. The larjsje 15 inch gun, wrapped with a dozen miles of "insulated wire, forms tho mo$t powerful' magnet in the world. The electricity Id supplifet1. by a large dynamo. 'The colonel, who always super intends 'jthe q^jteriments, gave orders f&r the current to/fae turilfed on, and the*capers'of the magifet began Some of the spectators"took spikes anfi other scrap iroh, which they'found was perfectly magnetized at" a distance of eigh't

ror

ten yards from the gun, so

thatrwhen they put two pieces together it was difficult to separate them. .'- They would'throwfthe iron in the air,"and it would be attracted with much force to the core of themagnefe The experiment with cannon balls was next shown. Five balls, weighing 85(J pounds eaoh, were suspended, one beneath the other, from thq muzzle of the gpn. The bottom ball hung within a few, inches of the ground. Then Lieutenant Morrow stood with his back toward the muzzle of the gun and stuck large bolts and spikes all over his chest. Other scrap iron was also applied and attracted by that which already seemed to cling to his coat. He walked away from the magnet, and he got a considerable distance before the last of the iron which covered his breast dropped to the ground.—Whitestone(N. Y. Dispatch.
