Women Florists.
In the commercial floral business the
success of women have been many.
Prom personal observation and dealings,
the wntfr has no hesitancy in saying
that when a male florist is brought in
close competition with a female one, the
latter will, in nine cases out of ten, bear
off the palm. Among flowers she is in
her element; her love for the beautiful
and artistic will enable her to arrange
the plants snd flowers in unique and at
tractive designs, which are entirely be
yond the ingenuity, ot the average male
florist; buyers^ of plants and flowers are
not slow to recognize the superior results
and choose accordingly.—American Mag
azine.

Th® Age of Steam.
Particular and trifling incidents seen
In a big city often remind one of some
great generalization. For instance, I saw
on Vim Buren street an Italian with a
little steam engine rigged up on his scis-
Itunning s Sewing Machine.
Clara Belle says in one of her New
York letters: I sometimes question if
the sewing machine has been as great a
boon to women as is popularly supposed.
Those women who get their living by
sewing earned just as much in the old
time, for they got $1 for making a
chemise that took a couple of days to
build where now the women rattle off
ten of them for ten cents a pieee. There
is no question but the exertion of running
a sewing machine long enough to make
ten shirts does greater harm than the old
time confinement necessary to make one
by hand. But the great evil wrought by
this labor saving invention is the
abandonment of the pleasant industry
making one’s own underclothes gave to
women. No girl will sit down and, by
adding one little, stitch to another, con
struct p garment that she can go forth
and buy at a smaller outlay than the
material would cost.
Mourning Jewelry.
The strangest freak of all in the fash
ions of grief has been the wearing of
“mourning jewelry;” to demonstrate our
inconsolable lot by a pertinent reference
to it in our adornment, is surely paradox
ical. I saw the other day a “mourning
ring;” very interesting in its quaint friv
olity; a slender circlet of gold held an
oblong disk of white enameled surface,
on which was depicted the tomb, the
weeping willow and the visiting relative
(in this case a widow), all neatly placed
under glass. It was au old, old ring, be
longing to a great-grandmother, who
wore it for her first husband’s memory;
although as she survived two more it may
have done tender memorial service for
all three. The process which converts
the golden curl, the brown tress, or gray
hair of our lost one into “hair jewelry,”
is among the curiosities of sentiment. Is
it not cruel to wear a portion of our dead
for ornament? Surly the wiry strand,
repellant and rigid, was never the soft
hair about the “old familliar faces.” I
remember seeing some “mother's hair”
woven into the design of anchors for ear
rings, which the daughters were seeming
to derive comfort from the light tossing
of this emblem of security, and no doubt
finding some occult satisfactory reason
for the incongruity of design and fact.
In our youth there clustered about us all,
maiden aunts wearing chains and brace
lets of hair, their stiffness seeming to ty
pify an unyielding sorrow, and their
quantity that the “departed” must have
been Sampsons. Then there- were the
brooches with the bulging serpentine
twists of hair forming a frame ioi
pictured face of the original possess
the hair—an uncertain appeal to frame,
as the exigencies of a brooch sometimes
. subjected the head to the vicissitude of
being worn upside down, thus marring
the act of would-be respectful memory.

Queer Saxou Christenings.
The Saxon mother is careful not to
leave her child alone until it lias been
baptized, for fear of the malignant
spirits, who may steal it away leaving an
uncouth elf in its place. Whenever a
child grows un clumsy and heavy, with
large head, wide mouth, stump nose and
crooked legs, the gossips are ready to
swear that it has been changed in the
cradle, more especially if it prove awk
ward and slow in learning to speak. Tc
guard against such an nccident, it ii
recommended to mothers obliged to leave
their infants alone to place beneath the
pillow cither a prayer-book, a broom, a
loaf of bread, or a knife stuck point up
ward. * * * In some places the
christening procession returning to the
house of the parents finds the door
closed. After knocking for some time in
vain a voice from within summons the
godfather to name seven bald men out
of the parish. When this has been
answered a further question is asked as to
about such things. The proprietors
agreed with her, and. at her suggestion
a supply department was organized in
connection with the papers, the entire
^charge of which was put into her hands.
. Ho special pains have been taken to ad-
vertise it, but it has steadily grown and
prospered until now this enterprising
woman finds herself almost buried under
its increasing claims. I asked her the
other day where her orders mostly came
from:
‘From all over the country,” she re
plied. “I have a good many from New
York city itself, from people who are
readers of our papers, or .who know of
them, and who feel more confidence in
the judgement of some one connected
with them than in their own. But the
majority of the orders, of'course, come
from people who live in other cities and
in small towns. And our customers live
in all parts of the country—North, East,
South and West.”
“What do you buy for them, and do
you furnished whole houses or just buy
detached things?”
“I buy everything—wall paper, furni
ture, carpets, curtains, rugs, everything
that goes towards the artistic furnishing
of a house, and in whatever quantity is
desired, whether it is the entire furnish
ing of a whole house or a curtain for a
single window. Not infrequently I get
a letter that will read like this: ‘I have
just finished a new house and want to
. it tastefully furnished, and so I will
put it entirely into your hands. Use
your own taste and judgment about the
Such responsibility as
wholo matter.’
that put upon the shoulders of one’s
taste is not calculated to make life an
easy matter, but so far there has been
no complaint about the results, and the
business has steadily grown. Then I
Exiled to Siberia.
The latest nows from Russia, accord

receiving the answer: “Let the little
children come to me,” is the door flung
open, saying: “Come in; you have
harkened attentively to the words of the
Lord.” The godparents next-inquiring:
“Where shall we put the child?” receive
the following answer:
On the bunker let it be,
That it may jump like a flea;
Put it next upon the hearth,
Heavy gold it will be worth;
On the floor then lot it sleep, .
That it ones may help to sweep;
On tUo table in & dish,
It will grow there like a fish.
After holding it'successively on each
of these places it is finally put back, into
tho cradle, while the guests prepare to en
joy the Tauf Schmans, or christening
banquet. Each person is expected to
bring a small contribution in the shape of
eggs, bacon, fruit or cakes, and the god
parents do not fail to come each laden
with a bottle of good wine, besides some
other small gift for the child. The ban
quet is a noisy .and merry one, and many
are the games and jokes practiced on
these occasions. The Spiesstanz, or spit
dance, is also usual on these occasions.
Two roasting-spiU are laid on the ground
crosswise, as in the sword dance, and the
movements executed much in tho same
manner. Sometimes it is the grandfa
ther of the pew-born infant who opens
the performance, proud of displaying his
agility as he sings:

See my nimble feet.

How I hop and glide;
See how well I dance.
See how well I prance.

Catherine Hawkins says in the New
York Mail and Erpros: A lady who is
the editor of two periodicals devoted to
art and decorative matters said to herself
some months ago, and then to the pro
prietor of thoeo papers: “There are hun
dreds and hundreds of people who would
like to have their wall papers, their car
pets and their curtains bought for them
from New York stores, where they can
have tho advantage of selecting, by
proxy, from large assortments.” She
have orders for single articles of all kinds
in which I am sometimes given carte
blanche and am sometimes required to
match shades for hangings or upholstery
that have taken a day’s search all over
the city before they could be found.”
“Do you do the buying yourself?”
“No, except to direct it from my
desk. I have a purchaser who was in
th6 employjof one of the largest drygoods
houses in the city, who brings me
i of all such goods as I shall need,
I keep constantly at hand a com
plete epitome, as it were, of what is on
the counters and shelves of all the large
shops in the city. From these I make
selections, match shades, make combina
tions and give orders for purchases.”
She has just extended her department
to include the mounting of fans, and
though this has been in operation but
two or three weeks she has already
found a large demand for this kind of
work ready and eager to take advantage
of her offer.
Fashion Notes.
The poplin drapery is stylish for light
weight woolen costumes.
Mauve and white striped alpaca is one
of the new dress materials.
Feather stitch is a favorite finish for
lingerie for the neck and sleeves.
The sash is an inevitable accom
paniment to almost any costume.
Bright blue vies with bright red in tho
favor of young people this season.
Brilliant colors are everywhere seen ii
in all sorts and conditions of wardrobes.
Tha waist of contrasting color is still
stylish and will contine to be during the
season.
Gauze turbans with an aigrette on the
side are the stylish headgear of English
fashion.
Large pokes of shirred mull, white
colored, are worn by girls from three to
fourteen.
Canary yellow is seen in combination
with a golden brown and is very stylish
and elegant.
Girdle i of silver are in Moorish designs
and are heavy and cumbersome, but very
fashionable.
The preference for figures and stripes
is shown in many of the new ribbons for
trimming hats and dresses.
White, tan color and yellow are the
favorite colors for hat trimmings for lit
tle girls-from six to ten years.
There is a fancy now for trimming
wedding dresses with gold or silver net,
lace or beads, arranged with flounces of
white lace.
Yellow is a favorite color for bride-
maids’ dresses. It usually appears ii
skirts, bodices and sashes of watered silk,
with lace or Russian net dresses.
Round hats of rough straw are some
times trimmed with a Madras handker
chief which is knotted a la Creole, with
corners standing upright in front.
Many blouse waists with yokes are
seen upon the summer dresses. The yokes
are pointed back and front, and some
times there is an extra point on each
shoulder.
# Velvet skirts are worn with soft and
silky fabrics, and are usually of more
than one color in the stripes, which to be
stylish should hin arouud, and not from
up to down.
Old rose with light green is very styl
ish in head gear, and there are many dif
ferent ways of combining these colors
which are really harmonious, and again
some are very gaudy.
of the new straw bonnets the
straw is not plaited at all, but the outer
surface, dyea in subdued tones of color,

Bonnets composed of find 1 white horse
hair, known to our grandmothers
“Neapolitan,” are once more in vogue,
and will no donbt meet with much favor,
as they are light and^very dainty in ap
pearance.
Cheap Clothing.
Clothing has never before been so cheap
as it is in this country at present. A com
plete suit, coat, vest and trousers, stylish
ly cut, neatly made and of materials
which look well, whether they will wear
well or not. may be purchased for $5,
and some advertisers offer them for half
dollar less. To argue that the goods
not of the finest quality is absurd; for
what can yon expect for $5. These
cheap suits are made up, not in slopshops
or the top rooms of tenement homes, as
the reader might suppose, but in the
country. The fanner’s wires and daugh
ters of New Jersey and Long Island turn
them out at so much a dozen during the
winter months, and are now ready to
welcome the summer boarders who wear
them.—New York World.
