HOW

TO ARRANGE A CHARMING CEPTACLE FOR FLOWERS.

Crape—HIh Leonora Mooney.

RE-

ImproTtmcoti In Hendlog—Bocoeo Revived—Woman and Her Flitting Fads. Quiet Handles Correct—Diagonal Mohair

A novel and charming receptacle for flowers can be made from a Japanese umbrella. To accomplish the end it is necessary only to remove the handle and to suspend it by ribbons terminating in graceful bows.

The more costly silk parasols can be vised, but the paper sort that cost only a few cents give an entirely satisfactory result. The only essential point is the •election of a modest design which will not clash with the flowers.

The ribbons are best of a plain color, either the same as that of the Sowers to be nsed or some quiet tone that will not conflict. Three points must be marked, equidistant, on the edge of the cover, and at eaoh of these one of the ribbons must be attached. When that is done, the umbrella is half closed, and the ribbons are brought together and made fast. A big bow is sewed at the point of meeting and a smaller one where eaoh ribbon joins the umbrella. That done, it remains only to insert within

MADE FROM A PARASOL.

Ihe umbrella a tin vessel of oornncopia shape. Into this tho long stems of cut flowers and the ends of trailing vines can be thrust and so kept fresh for many days. If they are selected with an eye for oolor and the vines are abundant, an effective bit of decoration can be obtained with trifling effort.

The main point to be considered, after that of color, is position. Hung from a chandelier, the umbrella becomes a feature of the room, but unless the ceiliug is high or a table stand beneath there is danger of collision. A hook," •uch as is ordinarily used for a birdcage, on the other hand, can be sorewed Into a corner or against the wall and the flower holder hung with safety at the same time that it makes a fine showing.—Exchange.

Improvements In Mending.

Time wan when a woman, unless she was fortunate enough to be able to keep a maid, was obliged to do all her own mending.

The overworked business woman has no leisure for darning, putting new braid on her skirts and performing the numberless little duties so necessary to a woman's well being. To do so is often an extravagance, as, while taking time to darn her stockings, she might bo earning enough to purchase several pairs. In many oases it would be economy to throw tbem away rather than spend precious minutes over them.

Some of the New York shops where gloves and Btookings are bought advertise the fact that these articles will be repaired free of cost, quite an item to the woman with little leisure at her dis-

At the big ladies' tailoring establishments coats and gowns are pressed and sponged. This does not netessarily occupy a groat, deal of time, as in from half an hour to three-quarters the tailor made woman emerges as good as new, and that without tho expenditure of a

Ss,nt.

There nro other places where the is spenged and new braid put on very small sum. Juld it not be a good plaj for those who cannot afford a maid to entho services of soino deserving woman at regular hours once a *k, or oftcner if necessary, to do the mending which accumulates oven with the neatest of women? A lady in this oity tried the plan a few years ago and found it wc-rked excellently. Among her protegees was a poor young Swedish girl whose household cares were too mi merous to !*ermit ber seeking regular occupation. For a small but adequate ram she spent every Saturday morning at the house of ber patroness looking over and mending underclothes, and so forth, a work in which sin soon took great interest and pride. Being a Swede, she bad that skill and proficiency with her needle so rarely found among the very poor in our own country.—Godey's Magazine.

Roooeo Ktftwd.

The age of rococo has been revived. Gorgeous jewels make a part of the costumes for spring. The latest belts, cembs, pins and hatpins all show the peculiar splendor that only rooooo can give. The very latest decree has it that without these jewels of paste no toilet will be complete.

The belts alone are a study. For some time it has been obvious that those of the season trace to be narrow. It now appears that there is a choice of two extremes. The rococo belts represent one those of webbing the other. The latter become almost more than baits, rieohtng as they do half way to the anna. The other* are frequently mere lines. In

fact, it might be said that the narrower is the line and the closer are the jewels set the more elegant is the belt. Only now and then does one hear it hinted that individual needs should be consulted.

It was an artist who said that nature had defined the waist line that fashion was only an intruder who often spoiled nature's work. As a safe general rule all femininity follows the mode. For a time we have long waists, for a time short. Only now and again does some one reflect that only abnormal developments, be they longer or shorter than the model, admit of fashion's decree. Were it not so the wide belts would all be worn by the long waisted women, narrow ones by those who need lengthening out In the present case there is abundant temptation to cast all law aside, for the rococo novelties are beautiful in the extreme. Nevertheless wise buyers will bear all these facts in mind, for even in the rococo there is a choice as to width. The waist can be reduced two inches and yet show all the splendor of color, if one only be discreet. On the other hand, it can be increased by choosing what is practically only a continu-, ous line of gems.

Woman and Her Flitting Fads.

Woman is a creature of fads: We may not like to admit it we may wish it were otherwise, but the fact remains that what is a craze with her today is forgotten tomorrow her stock of superlative adjectives that are today showered upon some passing tri fle are tomorrow applied with equal fervor to some new fancy.

In certain respects this instability is not to be deplored, for we would not have woman worship always at the shrine of the same rag doll. There is a certain sort of merit in being able to adapt oneself to new hobbies, and there is always the possibility of the new fad being of a higher order than the old. The most deplorable feature of woman't devotion to fads is the tendency it develops in her to make a fad of everything. The pronouuced faddist has lost all perspicuity. Her religion, the training of her children, her own intellectual culture—in fact, everything that ought to be near and dear to her is plaoed on a plane with her collection of Beardsley posters or hatever other fad she may have in hand.

Perhaps «his winter she has made a fad of religion or culture or some other good cause, but it has been only a fad and has affected her real personality just as much as did her discussions of Trilby last winter. Herein lie the dangers of fade7 ism. It takes us to every new thing with an unnatural fervor that soon burns out, leaving us with energies wasted and only a few dry husks in our possession for all our feverish ex oitement.—Womankind.

Quiet Handles Correct.

The Dresden umbrella handle is outi of date, anu the silver one is simply a memento oi past stormy days. The latest thing in handles is the straight! stick, covered with lizard skin, plain 6r inconspicuously garnished with silver. Boxwood oovered with fine Japanese) carving is intensely correct. The dark! wood is handsomer and the light smart-: er. Why? Heaven and Dame Fashion know, perhaps. Though reasons are so inadequate to account for the fact that what is in style looks well and what is out of it doesn't, the modern oxplainall hypnotic suggestion may be inferred.

An extremely smart imported umbrella has a tortoise shell handle, re-en-foroed by a delicate tracery of silver over its entire surfaoe. It costs $40, however, and is not for those who deem it prudent to provide for a metaphorioal as well as a literal rainy day. The newest umbrella is of leather and gives a cane effect, whioh is perhaps why it has thus far been adopted only by men, though this will endear it to womeu who affeot mannish bolongings. For more feminine tastes silver set with turquoises and ivory enriched with gold are popular in the more costly styles subdued mother of pearl and plain tortoise shell in those of smaller cost.

Diagonal Mohair Crape.

Some new and beautiful fabrics are desoribed in The Dry Goods Economist, one of these being the diagonal mohair orape, a weave of groat ingenuity, which results in the production of a novelty combining the use of mohair with the orape weave—a black piece dye, and, apart from the material used, the fea tnre is a diagonal in two effects. One of these diagonals is a flat stripe, running, as do all diagonals, at an angle across the piece iiud situated between the crape effects, which also run in the same direction. The flat diagonal is used as a binder jami is a necessary structural feature of the fabric rather than an ornamental one, showing in two narrow floated lines running in the filling threads from end to end of the fabric. The crape diagonal, however, is of a totally different character and represents a drawn surface showing an irregular tufted effect These two effects arc due to the manner of using the materials that compose tho fabric, everything being due to the way the filling threads are manipulated and to the difference in the twist and the mohair filling and wonted filling.

Miss Lrooore Mooney.

Miss Leonore Mooney of Chicago is fi&id to be the only woman in America holding the position of chief clerk in a post office inspector's departments She entered the department ten years ago and soon attained her present position. Her forte is a thorough knowledge of the postal laws and regulations and ber legal ability, which enables her to distinguish rapidly and correctly between What is and what is not evidence. Caplain Stuart, the inspector whose chief tlerk she is, says: "She has a better understanding of the workings of tho service in all its branches than any one else know. She can handle any subject in tr»'responding, she pays close attention to bcuriness, and in all the time she few bean with this department die

A Woman's Watch Pocket.

A pretty woman wore her watch— well, where do you suppose? In h6r neck. Who but a pretty woman would think of putting it in such a place? Aa the youngsters say, she was "a stunner." One of her fellow passengers in the stage dared to reveal in her countenance that she thought a white satin neckband was a queer place for a watch. The owner of the tiny gold timepiece, whioh was not larger than a medium sized button, was of the brilliant brunette type, and I've seen a mettlesome black pony's eyes flash as hers did she lifted her hand and jerked her soft satin stock her watch, tucked it back a quarter of an in yond the turn of her exquisite and the blue enameled fob chain its tiny ball, dangled unobtrusive below the throat band of the whi vest that completed her extremel ish attire.—New York Herald.

Armistice In Colors.

Nothing in the way of dress is remarkable than the daring combing tions of color produced in Paris. A notable instance is found in Mile. Bartet's gowns, worn in M. Meilhao's play, "Grosse Fortune."

A brilliant evening gown shows alternate stripes of yellow moire and large pink roses on a white ground. The bodice is all lace over pink, and the oorsage bouquet shows pink roses in combination with a black feather.

But the most notable of all the 00stume8 is a tea gown said to have cost $600. The front is at bine satin tulle or mousseline de soie, completely covered with Parisian diamonds. The back is of bright yellow satin embroidered with soarlet and red roses. The sleeves match the front and are caught up with a bow of mauve satin ribbon and pink roses.

The Mew Spring Coat Is Jaunty,

TBRKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, MARCH 28, 1890.

The coat intended for early spring wear is marked by an air of jauntiness," writes Isabel A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home Journal. "It is oftenest smooth cloth, and besides the regulation mode shades there are shown a dark bine, a faint steel with a blue tone hovering over it, dove gray, lincoln green, and, of course, dark blue and black."

BEAUTY AND PHILOSOPHY.

A Handsome Toons Woman Who Is Keeping Up the Family Record.

The manifest advantage of a young woman doctor of philosophy is that she does not abdicate her right to be a pret ty girl. Such is Miss Elizabeth Botch kiss, the daughter of our consul at Otta wa, and who when at Washington was regarded as one of the handsomest worn en in that city.

Miss Hotchkiss is a graduate of El mira college, and, in addition to her de gree of f, received from Cornell

university her Ph. D. She is now only 25 years old and is the youngest doctor of philosophy in the country. For some time Miss Hotchkiss was editor of The Metaphysical Magazine, published in St. Louis. This magazine is not as well known as the New York magazines, nor are its stories as vivacious and thrilling bnt it is read by many learned men, and MisS Hotohkiss, who has now resigned the position, held an honorable place as its editor and one to be filled by few men or women.

This young lady comes from a meta physical family. Her great-grandfather on her mother's side was a Sootoh metaphysician, and the Hotchkiss family in the past have been editors, lawyers and in professions which require some of the subtleties of speech. /*«*.• kv

Miss Harriet Keyser, the well Icnown "suffragist speaker of New York, says that the Other day her German shoemaker remarked to her: "Do you know am very thankful that have only one son that three of my children are mghters? I must be always paying my )y's debts, but my girls all work and iring their earnings to me to help along. I don't see what I would do if I had another son to worry me.'' As Miss Keyser justly observes, how different this speech is from the old notion that daughters were to be taken care of, and that a son was a blessing sought muoh more than the merely tolerated girl

Ho Gems Worn In France.

Gems seem to be worn less and less every year. With day toilets they are scarcely seen at all, and the fact was authoritatively illustrated the other day at the marriage of thedangbter of Count 'Hansonvi He, which brought together all that is related to royalty in France. Scarcely a jewel was to be seen in this elegant assemblage. The bride wore not a single gem.

Among the noted names are Nora Perry, Bose Elizabeth Cleveland, sister of the president Ouida, Jean Ingelow, Rosa Noocbette Cary, Anna Dickinson, Florence Nightingale, who has gained fame as a writer since Kbe retired as a nurse Grace Denio Utchfieldr Edith Thomas and Susan Ooolidga

Pray what is my case I have taken the Vegetable Compound faithfully, and obeyed you implicitly and, am free from all my ills. I was a very, very sick girl. Am keeping well up in my olass, and hope to do you and myself credit at graduation. My gratitude cannot find expression in words. Your sincere friend,
