THE SOUTHERN WORLD, OCTOBER 15, 1882. ff(e ^jou.'sclfohl. prepared for Ttae Boutliern World.] 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.
