Mr household.
Dear Household:
I might wo far forgot rnysolf ns to,
show you n pill box and to explain
my long absence by telling you of
hours of pain and nights of restlcss
ness, but happily Elizabeth’s warn
ing is fresh in mind yet.
I have so much admired our pa
per especially since the fire, that.
I’ve been anxiobs to come in and
join in a cordial congratulation
over the pluck and energy in get
ting it up in its handsome style ;
hut more than all, 1 want to lhank
the proprietor for opening “the
case’ to girls.
Whenever our sex has new aven
ues opened to their exertion so that
they may live better, 1 feel like re
joicing. We are so hedged about
by the proprieties of life, there
seems to be few successful ways to
provide the necessaries of living
when the duty devolves on mother
or daughter. Few have gifts of
similar nature. They are as vari
ously capacitated for work as the
sterner sex. They frequently sigh
for work that they can do well. 1
admire the industrious self-reliant
spirit, whether it he in man or wo
man.
When a girl can set type better
than she can sow I am happy sli •
has the opportunity to do it. He
who gives the chance I consider a
benefactor. Winnie Winn.
I wish all of the patrons of the
Gazette a happy New Year. May
God's richest blessings smile upon
their pathway all through the jour
ney of life. There is no more appro
priate time in the history of a man’s
life to take a retrospective view of
the past than on the beginning of a
new year. At this time we should
take u close review of our conduct,
and sec whether we are doing as we
should do or are fulfilling the mis
sion which God designed us to ful
fill. We are all probationers in this
life, moving on toward another
world as fast as time can take us.
How swiftily it passes! Looking
back to our childhood, it seems but
as yesterday, or like a vision that
bus passed. The older we grow, the
shorter time seems, in our youth it
appeared a great while before we
became twenty-one years of age.
Days then seemed longer than years
now. But the longer we live over the
monotonous secnery of life, the
shorter it appears. In the few lines
I shall write 1 wish to he practical.
In reviewing the past, have we
done any wrong to anybody,through
malice, revenge, anger, hatred, spite,
envy, jealousy, or have we slandered
or told falsehoods about any one
Let all of these had feelings Ifo buri
ed with the dead year, and blotted
out from tho great memorandum
book of time, whoso pages and
leaves are numbered by eternity.
Let us form new resolutions for the
comingyear—that we will do better
than we have done; that we will be
more social, pleasant, agreeable,
generous, kind and amiable, remem
bering that sociability is one of the
grand characteristics of our being.
\Ve should cultivate it on all occa
sions and at all times. Wo should
have a kind and pleasant word for
everybody we meet, and givd them
cheerful council in all of the affairs
of life,looking upon thh bright side
of life, not the dark side, for that
■will come soon enough without
being told of it. Let us be patient,
peaceable and quiet in all of the
affairsoflife knowing that the peace
makers are called“thc children of
God.”
Lot us always stand up for the
right, justice and equity, and advo
cate it in all of the transactions of
life. Wo should be foremost in all
the great reforms of the day, such ms
temperance and chastity, and do all
we can for this great and glorious
cause. We should be frank, candid
and open-hearted, doing uway with
deception and hypocrisy, and be
truthful in everything wo do. But
of all things that God ever suffered,
the wickedest is .a liar. Nothing I
despise worse. We should all strive
to be happy, and make all around
•us happy.
The tear of coming to want is one
great source of unhappiness in this
life. Lot us banish these thoughts
from oar minds and trust in God,
who provideth for all. Let us do all
the good we can in this life. We
should practice the Golden Rule, by
doing unto others as we would they
do to us. We should practice tho
principles that Christ, which He
taught while here on earth, eras re
corded in the New Testament. Let
us do the very best we can in every
thing we do, trusting simplieitly in ;
God, who ruleth and overuleth and
doeth all things well.

LATEST TRIUMPHS IN TOILETTES.
This is the hall and wedding sea
son in New York and many beauti
ful and original evening and wed
ding dresses are in the hands of
dressmakers. One just sent home
from Lord & Taylors is a lovely
brides dress of white satin almost
covered with wide real Limerick
lace flounces. Throe flounces al
most cover the whole skirt, which
is a little trained in the back. The
bodice and back drapery are in
plain white long pile velvet shot
with faint opaline tints. r lhe bod
ice is pointed back and front and
very much cut away on the hips.
From the point start full paniers of
velvet which provide the fullness
for tho back. There is no train to
the velvet. The bride who is to
wear it declares she intends to
dance at her own wedding and sees
no reason why a youthful bride
should he dressed like a dowager.
A delicious evening dress which
will be much admired when worn
is so very original it deserves a
mention. The tabiier is formed of
along turkish towel, the ends em
broidered in exquisite colors and
silver tinsel. The two ends are
placed lengthwise up the front of
the skirt with a quantity of tea col
ored lace quilled in cascades be
tween them. The bodice, paniers,
drapery and much puffed flounce
around the bottom of the slightly
trained skirt are of old gold satin
with linings of velvet of the same
color and decorative effects of tea
colored lace in quillings and cas
cades and motifs of Turkish em
broidery tastefully introduced.
An exquisite “going away dress”
for a bride is in coloring like a rob
in red breast. The material is cloth
of course, (cloths are all the rage
just now) and this cloth is ofj the
soft grayish brown tint of the rob
ins back and tail feathers. It
not a heavy cloth but light and pli
ant, soft and very warm, for it is
all wool. Tho waistcoat, collar and
cuffs, (think of it! a rolia with
cuffs) are of that very shade of dus
ky orange ted that tints the robins
breast. The draping is perfect. Each
loop and fold has its own meaning
and raison d’ ctrc. There is noth
iug irrelevant or odd about the en
semble Small lengthwise pleats
down the front and back furnish
the fullness*!if the polonaise which
is caught high on the hips. The
skirt is of Nonpareil velveteen
matching the cloth in color.
A magnificent mantle dolman, to
bo worn on “not too cold a day,”
is of brown velvet on velvet bro
cade, the design in large oak leaves
raised on a darker pile for ground*
The back drapery is arranged in
thick outstanding pleats let in just
below the waist line. The bodice
which fits in at the back is trimmed
with an exquisite embroidery of
garnet, amber and brown beads.
The dolman shaped sleeves are a
mass of similar embroidery on
plain brown velvet with chenille
centres to the leaves, and deep
fringes of chenille border the same
the strands of which are brown tip
ped with beads of amber, gold and
brown. The effect is sumptuous and
elegantly refined.

Avery useful lesson may be sug
gested to some of our readers in
the following incident. Asa sis
ter suggested in a recent contribu
tion, many of us are prone to pa
rade our griefs and to inflict our
complaints on friends, and
sometimes on the public. We
transcend the privileges of friend
ship when we force our friends to
listen to these outpourings, and we
violate the peace when we proclaim
our disturbances from the house
top or in other public places. If
self-respect will .permit this un
fo’ding of our tales of woe, respect
for the feelings of others should re
strain us. Many a wise woman has
learned to bear a cheerful counten
ance before the world when her
heart was filled with anxious
thoughts. But here is the incident,
and we will adjourn the moral
izing:
“A young girl and an elderly wo
man entered a street car together.
The girl’s eyes were swimming in
tears which soon refused to stay
within the prescribed limit, yet the
thought of letting all these strangers
see her weep was even bitterer than
the sorrow t Hat had started her to
weeping. The elder woman looked
troubled, but she had stronger
nerves. She whispered to her com
panion: “Hold your handker
chief to one eye all the time, then
everybody will think that your eye,
not your heart, has been hurt.”
The young girl acted on the sug
gestion without replying. She
held the handkerchief in a wad
over the right eye, ns though it
could not bear the light, and con
tinued to weep without attracting
attention. The other passengers
saw nothing but a woman with a
disabled eye, and after a glance or
two ceased to look at her. The
writer was struck with the wisdom
of the sad little stratagem. A
wound in the eye was not a thing to
he ashamed of. It excited no mor
bid curiositv or humiliating pity;
but a wound on the soul must be.
hidden.
