About the Fashions.
Velvet ornaments for dresses and cloaks
are In vogue.
N*w silver bracelets are made in exact
imitation of the handcuffs worn by criminals.
The sale of plain block velvet this autumn
is greater than it has been for several years.
The latest novelty in buttons is the bullet
shape, with a slice taken off the top, leaving
it flat
This is to be a velvet season. Aesthetic
reds and dull blues predominate among new
mixtures.
. Sailor-hats, trimmed with a wide band of
ribbon, with some upright loops at one side,
are the latest revival for young ladies’ wear.
The hair, to bo fashionably dressed, must
fall low on the neck in braids or coils, and
over the forehead in loose, airy curls or rings.
Among the newest and prettiest bouquet-
holders is one made i n the form of a thistle-
bloom, in silver and green enamel. The
shape of the flower is well adapted for the
purpose the design serves to fulfill.
In the arrangement of the coiffure, heavy
bangs, “ Montagues,” or thick rings of hair,
are now considered “ bad form " by the most
fashionable people, and only the lightest,
babyish fluff of hair now shades the fore
head.
The fit of a dress is just now far more im
portant than the material of which it is com
posed. Provided it is perfect in (ho above
respect, no matter whether the dress is of
silk or sackcloth, it will attain that standard
of merit which gauges the present fashion
It is thought that tiie fashion of bracelets
on the arms and wrists of men is spreading.
Salvini and Itossi wear broad bands of silver,
framing medals of St. George, riveted upon
their upper right arms; the archduke Ru
dolph wears a bracelet of chain-mail; the
heavy one which Victor Emanuel wore, with
a medallion of St. Hubert, is now used by
bis eldest son. The Prince of Wales and his
next brother have also adopted the custom
Thick, soft, all-wool serges in heavy dis
tinct twill are brought out this autumn in
durk stylish cloth colors, olive, and laurel
green, ruby, sceabieuse, garnet, putty color,
royal blue, wood brown, and in many shades
of gray. An attractive material also for the
season is wool sateen worn all summer, but
much more durable and appropriate to the
cooler weather. It answers the same pur
pose as cashmere, but has more body and
smooth satin-like surface.
Some of the newly-imported polonaises are
made witli open bodices, square or heart
shaped, or in a long V, the point reaching to
the belt. The opening is usually edged with
a plaited ruching, or with embroidery or
applique bunds of beaded work. Under
neath this is worn a plastron of velvet or
chemisette of lace. Thu pannier-polonaise is
still in high fashion, this model being in the
shape of a pointed bodico with panniers ap
plied by guugings or flat pluits laid over tho
hips.
Autumn mantles of a dressy style are made
either in the visile shape with sash drapery
in the back, or in modified Hubbard fashion
with a deep shirring around the neck and
sleeves. These shapes seem likely to con
tinue in fashion through the autumn for
mantles of silk and satin, while the new
stylish French redingote is preferred for
fabrics of a heavier description. The black
satin pelisse, lined with bright-colored surah
and trimmed with real Spanish lace, shell-
plaiting and flats of black-satin ribbon, forms
an elegant transition from the light summer
wrap to the heavy winter cloak.
Black and other colored velvet jaquettes
are very fashionable, worn over a great va
riety of skirts of different material and
colors. The skirts of such dresses are trim
med around two-thirds of the lower portion
in many different ways, the upper third be-
ing usually enveloped in a wide scarf, draped
in folds over the hips and ending in a grace
ful bow and sash-ends at the back. For in
door wear those jaquettes are open en eteur
•over a guimpe, and having panniers applied,
which turn backward from tbe front, with
facings of bright-colored brocaded satin, or
with elaborately beaded applique revere,
which are the more elegant looking. At the
back these jaquettes are raised in a full, short
pouf, in Louis XV fashion. These corsages
may also be made of moire, satin, or narrow
: striped velvet. When of the latter, they are
generally worn over skirts of lino woollen
goods, or those made of the same material, of
. a monochrome color.
Over-suspicious persons make themselves
and other people equally miserable. Un
happily they are incurable, and I would,
therefore, advise you all not to bother with
them unless you have patience like Job, for
if you don’t succeed you may become dis
gusted with trying to do good, and thereby
lose all ambition of trying to do good in an
other way. They are full of whims, end
thoroughly unreasonable. If you don’t look
at them, then they say you ore too haughty
and proud; if you look at them a little too
hard, then you stare and gaze. If you try
to avoid one corn, you are sure to tread on
another. The suspiciously exacting person
is of fine spun ingenuity. He can trans
pose your words into a sense you never
dreamed of; he can make a chain of circum
stantial evidences strong enough to hang
you. Almost everything you do has a sus
picious meaning. Now, we cannot class
such people under the head of the highest
sort of a lady or gentleman; for a politeness
that stands ever on the watch to exact an
equal politeness in return is more annoying
than a generous rudeness. They are merely
critics. Well bred people are always wil
ling to overlook small blunders, and have
too just an opinion of theirown merits to be
on the lookout for slights.
About the House.
Slamming of doors and the rattlingof dishes
tire and bewilder workers and everybody
ubout the house. Work quietly. Noise is
not work. Make the most of your brain and
eyes. Do everything at the right time, and
keep everything in the right place when
possible.
Housekeepers make a great mistake when
they allow their vegetables to be washed at
ull until just ready to put on to cook. Many
leave all kinds of vegetables to stand, cov
ered with cold water, for a long time after
washing, and by so doing lose a large portion
of tho natural sweetness and flavor. Many
grocers think they cannot sell their vegeta
bles unless they wush them free from the
earth that is on them when dug up, or they
insist on tbe farmers’ washing them before
they will buy. To make them look fresh
and handsome they sacrifice a large portion
of the best part of the root. If farmers
washed their potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc,
after digging them, before putting into the
cellar, they would bo spoiled in a month
The earth about them is an absorbent and
preservative of the less volatile elements of
the root, which evaporate quickly after be
ing washed. How often city people speak
of the excellent flavor of the vegetables they
sometimes eut in country homes, and won
der why tlioy cannot be cooked to taste as
good in the city. It is not because tbe farm
er’s wife understands the art of cooking vege
tables any better than tbe city dame, but be.
cause she leaves her vegetables in the earth
that covers them, until she needs to put
them on to cook. Housekeepers only can
cure this evil. Tho moment a grocer finds
that he loses his tiuiu and labor when he
washes his vegetables—just for tho faiicy
looks of the thing—and that housckeei>era
are becoming sensible and will not buy them
iu their fancy dress, but in their natural
covering, then city folks can have os nice
vegetables on their tables as the farmer is
favored with—certainly they can do so after
the season is too far advanced to gather vege
tables fresh every day.—Farm and Fireside.
Evkuyuodv should plan to have pleasant
conversation at the table, just as they have
good food. A little story telling, a little
reading, it may be of humorous things; an
ecdotes will often stimulate the joyous ele
ment of the mind and cause it to act vigor
ously. Try and avoid going to tho table all
tired out. Let all troublesome topics be
avoided. Think and say something pleasant.
Cultivate mirth, and laugh when anything
witty is said. If possible, never eat alone.
Invite a friend of whom you are fond, and
try to have a good time. Friendship and
friendly intercourse at tho table whet the
appetite and promote the flow of animal
spirits. Athalia Jaioh.
