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. I lrOil in’- IV: .un i I Si-r . mi t. Referring to tile reports of the queer's departure, describing how. when her majesty embarked, sue leaned on the 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,, of hisfellowsubjectsin India. Anyhow, his qualities have commended him to her majesty ns a suitable personal at tendant Hence he now rides at the back of the queen's carriage: ho leiuls her pony, lie is evor by her side ready to fetch orcarry, and. greatest honor of all. lie is permitted to lend his arm to sup port his royal mistress’ steps when she is weary or the way is difficult, or the in jured knee troublesome.” >1 n, Islor Kill..*1-s.l. 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 (100,000 a year in unostentatious chari 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 in volne of its kind in the Union, tho assacbnsetU library only outranking it. As a librarian she was an expert. She know tho contents of every book in her care, and most of this intimate knowl edge came from her constant and care ful revision of the catalogue.
