HOW TO MAKE GREEK DRAPERY.
But TIimm Direction* Are Nut f»r the
Vmry FiU or the Very Leiin.
It is “a whim iusfc now to be photo-
graphed iu Greek costnme. The idea is
a good one, Jmt how it is carried out!
The average woman has a voluminous
tecenlrieity of ,cheese cloth, made with
much limping and several pieces of cord.
This she puts on over corsets and stiff
skirts. She looks like a “study of a
woman in a pillow” when she is photo
graphed! The proper Greek or Roman
dress for a picture is made most simply,
and a lesson in draperies is a good thing
to learn. Use soft cheese cloth, or let
ter still crepo or China silk. It the stuff
is forty Melius wide one breadth will do
for tlie front and one for the hack. If
the materia! is narrow sew two breadths
togetliMt fhr the front and two together
for the tiiiek. Run the two pieces on the
same drawing string, letting the ends of
the string come together in the middle
of the edge of the front. Here cut down
a slit in the front so you can get intq the
gown.
Now.‘gut into ft. Adjust it so that it
la properly low necked. It should be
drawn well down Into-a pointed neck,
front and back. Tie a piece of tope
around yourtelf well under t he armpits
and bnst line. The neck should be drawn
down almost to this belt. Yes; the dress
is open at the sides. We have not como
to that yet Have some one cut the
front length, allowing for hem, so that
It falls well to the floor. Tlio back should
be a little longer. Now the sides are
sowed up in a seam that stops just under
the arm. Thus, yon see, an armhole is
left
Now for a sleeve that Bhall cover the
under side of the arm at the shoulder.
Cut a long tongue shaped pieceof goods.
Instead of squaring off the upper end,
slant off that end into another point
The sleeve shape then is like two trian
gular pieces set base to base, the one-tri
angle being very long and the other very
much shorter. The short triangle doubles
down under the arm, and is tucked into
the slit of the armhole, and thcro sowed
or pinned to the base of the two tri
angles, is drawn around the arm and
buttoned to the top of the shoulder. The
long triangle hangs. If you like, the
edges of the sleeve left hanging can be
buttoned together again further dowu
the arm. and the shape of the sleeve is
easily modified to edit such arrangement
Your Greek dress is finished now.
Wear it over a closely fitting and rather
heavy low neck, woken under vest and
a skirt made of India silk or very soft
cassimcre. The skirt hangs full and
soft and well to the floor in front and
almost dragging iu the bock. This skirt
should be made on a deep yoke. o» i( not
the skirt should be drawn down over it
and securely pinned that no fullness at
the waistbands may betray through the
outer garment the presence of a skirt
A chain of flat links or of medallions
linked together is worn to bide the tapo
belt The costnme cannot be graceful
m Grecian unless corsets or stays are
discarded. The chain belt is drawn close
and up to the point of the neck, there
fastened, and thus serves to support the
Sgnre'and outline Us contour. Another
belt may lie worn which.rests on the
hips and droopa low in front.
There should be no drapery except that
afforded by tho folds in the gown.
These folds to the upper dress can be
drawn close about the knees, showing
the underskirt In fact any classic ef
fect can be obtained. A word to finish.
Only a woman with fino arms and shonl-
defs should attempt snch dressing. The
very fat or the very thin will look better
in something else.—Now York Sun.
’ •The Ideal Wlfo"- Inscribed.
Whether with a view to give precision
to ‘‘the young man’s fancy".at this pair
ing season, or merely, to keep the gentler
sex informed regarding the demand in
the matrimonial market, our contempo
rary, The Young Man, has been inciting
it* readers to" define “the ideal wife.,”
The replies appear to agree that this per
fect person must strive to exist solely for
her husband’s pleasure, profit and con
venience. One tersely, If a trifle un
grammatically, says: “There should be
a healthy compact between the. piano
and the wringing machine, so that the
dignity of labor la not anperseded by tho
- dignity of art, bat each contribute to &e
domestic felicity.” Another, whp may
have been dipping into Schopenhauer s
abominable qhaptcr on “Women,” pnt
fait views into the epigrammatic form:
. “One whose life says in/bus band and
1/ and not T and my husband.’ * Cardi
nal Wolsey’s “Ego et mens Bhx" would
have been more appropriate still.
Calling further Samses from the epta-
tolary anthology, we mid that in the
View of various correspondents the ideal
wifo “has skill onongh.to cook a good
dinner without being wasteful, taste
enough to dress well without being ex
travagant, taA enough to know when,
nnd how to speak:” and that, moreover,
she must be “one wh -se love prompts
her to do what she can to rank - » home
on earth a stepping atone to a home in
heaven.” One matrimonial monopolist
even goes so for as to say that she most
“prefer the company of her husband to
th.t of any other man, and let people see
it” We had al ways thought that • 'letting
people eoe it" in such casta was considered
bad manners. —London News.
A Qimt Oeeepetloa.
ft ie possible that • new occupation
has developed for that, in these days,
nbiqnitons personage, “the clever wom
an." • A little more than a year ago *
family suddenly pnt in straightened cir
cumstances sat in council over the fut
ure. A widowed aunt who was one of
it was specially anxious to add her mite
s effort which it was realised must
be pnt forth, but felt her incapacity.
Her niece, a young girl, involuntarily
solved the problem for her.
“Aunt Nell conld go ont as •cheerer,* ”
she said playfully. “That is what she
has always been In this lionse. Really,
aunt,” she continued, more earnestly,
“perhaps that is yonr vocation. You
know yonr poor sick people always say
yon cheer them up Why couldn't you
succeed as well among rich sick people?
They would like your funny stories aud
your comfortable ways, I know.”
This was the crude idea, and in a
modified form it was acted ti|«ou. "Aunt
Nell” did begin to go about awoug half
sick and convalescent persons as a sort
of temporary companion with marked
success. She read to them, told stories,
and looked at things cheerfully. She
had original ideas, tact and discrimina
tion, and succeeded wonderfully with
ailing children and nervous persons.
One patron suggested ner to another un
til she found her time fairly well em
ployed. when her varied career was sud
denly cut short this spring by her ae
ceptance of a permanent home as the
companion and comfort of a young girl
afflicted with ft hopeless spinal malady.
There is perhaps a "suggestion in tie-
recital, though, lifter nil, the office i»
rnerely a special phase of the general one
of companion.—Her Pojnt 'of View in
New York Times.

arm of an fudiui. atteinhint, while the
Duke of Comnti u 'Vuikctl behind, a
London corresponded unites: "Her
majesty, who is faithful in her likes as
she is pronounced iu h. r aversions, has
put tlie Indian in tho place occupied by
the famous John Drown, who for many
years watched over his sovereign's safe
ty with a zeal that was religious in its
utter dovotedness. The Indian succes
sor to John Crown began to take rank
about the time of the jubilee. He is’a
splendid fellow, stalwart but supple,
gifted with the curtly dignity that
comes natural alike to the well bred
Hindoo or Mohammedan; lie has also
tho gentleness of a woman and the rev
erence of a child.
"To him the sovereign is more than
queen of Great Britain. She is also
empressof nearly three hundred million,,

his qualities have commended him to

In a sketch of tlie lute John Jacob As
tor, the Rev. l>r. Morgan Dix, of Trinity
church, said before tlie Genealogical and
Biographical society of New York;
“Now York society is a living entity,
and lias an existence of its own. in it,
os in everything else, there is good .ir.d
there is evil, in our society there is no
crown, no .hereditary aristocracy to set
tlie fashion, but the leadership devolves
upon those to whom the headship is tac
itly conceded.
“Mrs Astor was one of this number,
and so assiduously did she attend to her
dnties that it ended in shortening her
life. She knew that she must set a good
example to society; that doom must be
closed against dubious women and men
with profligate tastes. She knew the
extravagiHice, the low rivalry and the
secret or open sympathy with an nge
which tended to corrupt the heart It
may he said for her thut society was
rendered the purer for her loftier ideals”
Dr. Dix said that he had good proof
(hot Mr. and Mrs. Astor Bpent easily

ties. Mrs. Astor herself used frequently
to visit the midnight mission which she
had established in simple garb ns Sister
Augustine, her identity being unknown
to Die Inmates.
A Olrl Tackles a Ilia Snake.
Last year a monster snake was seen
In the neighborhood of Donnell's mill, in
this county, and its length was various
ly estimated by several parties who saw
it at from eight to fifteen feet. An at
tempt was made to kill it, bnt it wont
Into a thicket on the banks of tho creek.
Nothing more was seen of this mon
ster snako until Friday, when Miss Ida
L. Robinson saw a cow, tlio property of
Mr. Abner Schoolfield, down and strug
gling, and went to see what was the
matter. Imagine her surprise to see,
coiled around the neck of the cow, an
immense snake some four -inches in di
ameter and at least ten feet in length.
Tho cow was being choked to death,
and the bravo girl took hold of the
snake with both bauds, and, being a
strong girl, she with great difficulty got
It loose, or perhaps frightened it until it
uncoiled itself and ran into tlie thicket.
After awbilo the cow, with aid from the
lady ( got upon its feet and was driven
home. The snake was of a brown color,
and showed no signs of striking or bit
ing, as is common to all our native
snakes, hence It Is believed to ho an ana
conda, which has made its cscapo from
some menagerie.—Greensboro Record.
A Popular Librarian.
The dismissal of Mrs. Mary Morancy
as state librarian of Mississippi, after
fourteen years of faithful and efficient
service, has provoked widespread discus
sion iu the sonth, and a petition is in cir
culation asking that she be restored to
office. Mrs. Morancy was the first woman
to boldaBtate office in Mississippi. When,
sbe took charge of the library it was
badly catalogued, incomplete and lum
bered with worthless matter. With a
constantly diminishing appropriation for
the purchase of books Mrs. Morancy
made the Mississippi library tho sooond

As a librarian she was an expert. She
