A pleasant way to entertain a small .pany where all are well acquainted with one another, is to seat the guest* in a circle, the host acting as master of ceremonies. Each person, In turn. Is then requested to sing a song, tell a story, or speak a "piece." The game can be made quite amusing, if the person without a voice, or an ear for music, will render a vocal solo, or one with a defective memory can be persuaded to speak a "piece." The stories may be original and improvised for the occasion, or may be retold from some popular author, but must be short and to the point.

Hand-painted silks and satins for evening dress wear have suddenly become so much the rage In Paris that the modistes find difficulty in discovering people able to paint the materials in sufficient quantity. The flowers are generally painted large. There will be, for instance, roses about twice the natural size of the largest blossoms. One huge rose will be painted in three places at the bottom of the skirt-, with a trail of flowers gradually decreasing in size and a few leaves, rising up to end about midway between the knee and the waist, toning off to a few sprays and buds at the uppermost points. Or honeystickle will be used, beginning in like manner with preternaturally large clusters, and mixed with sweet pea, which latter presently meanders alone towards the top of the skirt.

A naturally careless arrangement is aimed at, and further to soften the effect a delicate muslin or crepe de chine is generally employed as a tunic, falling nearly to the ground at the back, and draped in front into a peplnm point so as to come between the two painted garlands as an apron. When only a border round the edge or a short trail of flowers is painted, the very fine muslin overdress is made the full leogi-h of the skirt in front, and just drawn up sufficiently at the rides to show the flowers peeping oat under it, the fold* being fastened up by an Imitation diamond or other brooch.

Although many Terre Haute women *f talent seem fatal to spend their days fib the pursuit of happiness in its every day aspect, yet it is a pleasure to hear of others whose duties have taken them into broader spheres. Among the many yonng women who, from time to time, have gone

finished work in sculpture. At present Miss Peddle is engaged in filling aa order for household articles of an ornamental nature. One of the articles is a clock, the design being twelve figures which are disposed around the dial, one for each hour. The figures are in high-relief, so much so that they are almost in the round, and represent twelve ages of man ranging from infancy to old age, infancy presumably, standing for the hour twelve to one. Miss Peddle's designs show great originality they are executed with conscientious care, and a pains-taking eye for details. Her method of work is, first, to model her idea in clay second, to mold this production of her mind and hand.ia plaster of Paris, or gelatine third, to have the figure cast in bronze. Miss Peddle is very successful in portraiture, modeling from life. If she visits Terre Haute this summer, as she thinks of doing, her presence here will offer an admirable opportunity to those who wish work done of that kind

Last September Miss Mary Peddle took passage for England with the purpose of studying oratorio under the Henschels. On the same steamer chanced to be Miss Mary Thomson, of Crawfordsville, Ind., who visited in Terre Haute several years ago, and who possesses a soprano voice of great power and sweetness sbifc also, w.is bound for London and the HensOhels. But the two were doomed to disappointment, for the Henschels had left London to be gone until May. So the young ladies went to Paris, where, though they are under different instructors, they practice together twice a week. Miss Mary Peddle expects to return to London in May, as her pure contralto voice is especially adapted to oratorio music. Her Parisian master is the world famous Giovanni Sbriglia, who in his younger days sang vjith Patti in New York. An article in the Chicago Tribune speaks of Sbriglia as "having that almost magic power of inspiration pictured by Du Maurier in Svengali." He was the master of the De Reszke brothers, and is the possessor of a photograph of Jean de Reszke on which is written in Italian: "January 12, 1879.—To my dear, friend, Prof. Sbriglia, to whom alone I am indebted to my tenor voice—as a token in recognition of friendship.—J. de Reszke."
