BRIDAL VEIL
USEFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
A SELECTED tTOBY.
Kan. an City Journal.
A pretty, dark-eyed girl began to work it,
wlioae lover was over the Hen. Sho was a
french girl, and came of a good family of
laeo-makers.
•■I'll worl: iny own bridal veil in my leie-
nre time," she said, “so when Walter cornea
to marry me, I shall bo a gay bride.”
But she never finished the veil. Walter
guile too soon. She married her English
lover—ns poor us Ik rself—and went with
him to Loudon, and the half-finished bri-
dal veil went nlong, cnrefnlly folded away
at tbo bottom of n trank, and, for time bo-
ing, quite forgotten.
It may have beon forgotten in earnest
during twelve years, for aught I know; cer
tainly it lay that long unnoticed. A lively
10-year-old girl was the fairv that broke its
long sleep at best. Sho had dark oyes, like
the little peasant of twelve years ago, but
Walter's golden hair.
‘•Ob, the charming lace! she oned, clap
ping her hands mid dancing delightedly as
Elsie shook it out of tho folds. “Dear
mamma, what ia it? and who mailo it? and
why is it hut half done? Can I have it for
a dress for my doll, mamma?”
qiie pretty, dark-eyed matron laughed
and shook her bead and half sighed, and
she pressed the delicate fabric to her lips.
Then she told her child the history of its
making.
"Bat it shall not lie hidden so long from
the light again,” she said tenderly. “X will
finish it, and when the time comes for my
little Adele to bo a bride, sbe will have a
veil to be proud of."
Again the little tajar fingers toiled mer
rily and busily over thfc delicate lace, and
fairy-like ferns and masses of graceful flow
ers grew steadily under them. Adele
watched the progress of the work with tho
keenest interest.
“Mamma, teach me to work it," she said
one day. “My lingers are much finer and
tinier thin yours.”
After that she would briug her little work-
buket to her mother's side and work at a
vector doll. The facility with which Bhe
learned tho graceful art was astonishing.
At tho age of fifteen so expert was sho that
Elsie did not fear to let her take part in the
creation of tho bridal veil itself, but they
worked "uly nowand tiunjis Iho fancy seiz
ed t -cm.
Lonis Riviere was from Franco, like
Adcle's mother—that had been the bond
between them from the first—for Adele
loved her mother's country for h% mother's
sake, though the hersoU was proud of being
called English, and she also loved the yonng
Frenchman.
Lonis enme of noble blood, and woe well
to do. lie had some money—not enongh
to live upon in idle luxury, but plenty to
securu him in a fair start in business life.
Unwilling to enter upon this conrse in
Paris, where his noble relatives would not
scruple to oppose him, he had chosen Lon-
don us the scene of his futaro efforts;, snd
embarked in business ns a merchant there.
The happy weeks und months grew into
yoars. Adele was now seventeen; it was
agreed and promised that when tho spring
time came sue wonld be Riviere's bride.
“We most finish tbo bridal veil," cried
Elsie, eagerly. “I tell yon Monsieur Louis,
no lady of your proud house ever wore a
laco more exquisite and rich. Ah, alnUl I not
be proud win n 1 look at my bcsutifnl child
in her marriage robes and think of the poor
tittle peasant girl of long ago, who toiled at
the lace to earn coarse bread so far away
over the seal”
Lonis turned quickly at these words, a
look of displeased surprise in bis dark
eyes.
“What peasant girl, mndame?" he ques
tioned uneasily.
“Myself," sbe answered, happily, not
marking the look or the tone. “Whet was
1 hut a poor little lace-maker when my gene
rous young lover married me, the father of
Adele."
lie answered nothing, and Elsie went
merrily chattering on, bat Adele noticed
Ills suddenly downcast air snd gloomed
eyes, though she wee fer from inspecting
the ennse of either.
His haughty family pride had received a
blow.
“A lace-maker!" he said to himself,
peasant girl! If I hod hat known it!"
All that night, sml for days and nights
afterward, the thought - f hia bride's hum
ble i xtraction tortured 1dm; the sting tohis
plido would not la, r.moved.
Unconaionaly to himself his annoyance
affected l.ia temper; he became irritable,
fretful, impatient, something to the very
verge of impoliteness even. Above ell, he

“I detest the sight of it!" he cried one

She s ink down sobbing. Just tlieu the
sound of her mother's voice, singing merri
ly on old French song in a room above,
came to her cars. Once more sho dashed
the tears away.
“He despised yon, my darling mamma—
you! No, no, I will nover pardon him!"
Her parents questioned her in vain. She
had quarreled with Lonis; that was all they
could learn. And before a chance of recon
ciliation came, Elsie was smitten with mor
tal illness and died in three days;amlAilelo,
overwhelmed by the awful calamity, was
prostrated with brain fever.
At this juncture a summons came to
Louis from France, demanding his immedi
ate presence there. Strange changes had
token place. Two or three lives that stood
between him and the title and estate of the
Marquis de la lievicre hail been swept away
and the third, a frail and delicate child, lay
dying. The present marquis, himself a fee
ble old man, was also at the point of death,
so they sent in haste for Lonis, as the heir
of tho dying nobleman.
The nows bewildered him. His heart
swe led with exultation tiud delight, bnt it
sank again. Adele! Hod he lost Adelo?
“I care not for rank or wealth unless she
shares them!" cried his heart. “I will go
and implore her pardon."
Ho made the attempt, but in vain. He
sought her father and said a few words to
him. however that might have made all
right again, had she ever heard them; but
she never did. When her long aud wast
ing sickness was over ut last, and she began
slowly and feobly to take hold on life, slu
found herself an orphan in very truth!
Walter had followed Elsie to a better
world.
Not even then had sho drained tho cap of
sorrow to the dregs; her father's affairs hail
been terribly involved; when ull was settled
she was penniless. Poor Adele! Truly
might it be said that her sorrows “came not
in single spies, but in battalions;" father,
mother, lover, home, nil gone! What
hail life left to offer her but patience anu
pain? ,
And Louis? He wonld have written to
her immediately upon his arrival in Paris,
but he felt so blissfoBy suro that her father
wonld make all well. A few weeks later he
did write, informing her of his strangely
altered fortunes, and imploring her to par
don and accept once more as her true love
the love of the Marquis do la Reviere.
And the letter never reached her. The
honso to which it came was empty and de
serted, bnt tho late happy home was bro
ken up, and the little English girl, for
whom a husband and title and fortune
were wasting in sunny France, was earning
a sorrowful living os n lace-worker. Such
are some of tbe reverses of real life; more
wonderful than any fiction.
So the marquis waited for an answer in
vain. Then pride rose up in arnir.
"She scorns me,” he thought. “She, u
poor peasant’s child! 1 am punished f>-r
my folly!"
He resolved to drive her from his lioart.
Bnt after many months his letter to Adele
was returned crossed nnd reerossed with
strange addresses. It was a message of
hope to him. Sho hud not scorned him;
perhaps she had not ceased to love. Be
fore unotuer day and night had passed the
marquis was on his journey to Lon.
Need I tell you of his welcome there?
When did wealth and title fail to find a
warm one? Or of tbe friends of former
years who flocked to claim acquaintance?
Bnt none eonld tell him of Adele, beyet
the history of her bitter sorrow. And ufb
three months' search he had failed to find
her. He hail money, influence, deepest
heart interest to aid his search, and yet, in
spite of all, he failed.
“She is dead,” he thought with anguish.
“I have come too bite—it is In the grave I
shall find my darling. U it ho so, and I
prove it is so, indeed, I will live and die
single for her sake."
But that waa hit heart's resolve, unsus
pec ted by anyone; many a gay belle and
brilliant beauty had spread her nets to se
cure the splendid prize of a titled hnsbond.
Foremost among the many, Rosalind Unit-;
she was the fairest anil w ealthiest of them
ull, and her golden hair was not unlike
Adele's.
It von this that attracted him toward her
more than others—the memory of an oldsu
love. She never inspected this, however;
her vanity mado suro he was in her toils.
She arranged charades, tableaux, plays—In
which he should sustain a port with her.
It never occurred to her that he was at
once too good-natured and too indifferent
to refuse.
The tableaux were suggestive enough.
One upon which Miss Hale had quite set
her heart, was that of a bridal—need it be
said that Louis waa the bridegroom, herself
the bride?
“He will speak'now, surely,” she thought,
os sho blushed snd trembled beside him,
while the curtain came slowly down.
But, no, he only bowed as ho led her
from the platform; and then one of tho
buttons of his coat caught in her bridal
veil.
It has been said that “triflea make np tho
sum of human happiness.” It seems so
now. As the mnrqins stopped to disengage
tho lace, suddenly he uttered a strange cry.
It is Ailelo’s bridal veil
“I borrowed it of a lace-maker," Miss
Hale said, in reply to hia anxious question
ing. “I had ordered ono like it; bnt her
health is bail, and she failed to have it
finished in time. So, then, I made her
h ml me this. She was quite unwilling to,
sho added, pouting, “jest because it was
her mother's work. Such fancies for a
poor iieraon!”
“On, no! Very thin and worn and sad,'
she said, in reply to another question of
Louis’s; “with fino eyes, but too dull ami
pale to be colled pretty. But on exquisite
lace maker. I shall bo glad to give you her
address if you have any work for her.”
Yes, lie had work for—work that they
would share together; tbe blessed work of
building np an almost broken heart, of re-
storing love and happiness to both their
lives.
Miss Hale never received her veil—the
morqnis claimed it. In its stead he sent
her a complete set of laces that made her
in that regard at least—the envy of society
anil Louis married Adele.
Palo and thin and somewhat careworn
still was the bride of the Marquis on her
wedding dev, Imt to h!s ejrea—tbe eyea of
faithful love—it was still the sweetest face
in tiro whole world that smiled and wept
beneath Elsie's bridal veil, Aud he kissed
the old lace aud blessed it, because through
it he bail found her again.
"I love it now!" avid he. “I prize it next
to yourself, dearest. It shall bo kept as
treasure always.'*

THE WAY TO PREPARE THE GOOD
THINGS OF LIFE.
Something About the Care nml
liable*-A Collection of Beet
Value to I in- Industrie
Housewife—Other Items,
For a long time there has been a tenden
cy to overdress anil overload the baby.
Certainly nothing could bo in much worse
taste than a poor little baby overburdened
with embroidery, laces and rufiles. The
materials for tho little one’s wardrobe
should be of the finest its owner con afford,
but made up in the simplest manner possi
ble. Among sensible people this has been
tho rulo generally for some time, and wo
hope it will become a universal fashion.
Tho choicest and most expensive of the
dainty little garments are those known us
"French hana-made" goods. These are in
many coses finished with deep borders of
hemstitching in lines, bars and block-work
of the most exquisite description, some
times the entire lower portion of the skirt
being of this delicate work. Soft-finished
cambrics, nainsook, French percale nnd
like fabrics are preferred for baby’s uses in
cotton, and in wool materials albatross cloth
aud cashmere for little cloaks and wraps
are in regular and steady demand by the
beet trade. A specially comfortable and
economical material that won great popu
larity during the autumn, and will be quite
suitable for spring and summer, is the
lighter and finer grade of cheese cloth, or
thin canvas cloth. Many of the most
charming little cloaks and wraps have been
mnde from this material, with lining of
opera flannel or surah, either of theaame or
a contrasting color which may show throngh
the meshes of the cheese cloth. The gar
ments in the baby’s outfit should be select
ed with reference to the little one’s comfort
and health, and these considerations should
nover he sacrificed to any whim or capri
cious change of fashion. Fine flannel
bonds are among tho baby’s first needs.
Four or fivo of these arc desirable, and
they should lie of firm but not thick flannel
Inexperienced mothers shonld be reminded
that an infant shonld never be permitted to
cry daring the first few weeks of its life
without the band to support tho delicate
little body. Simple slips of cambric,. and
plenty of them, are necessary, and duo pro
vision shonld lie made for the proper pro
tection of the infant from sudden changes
of temperature or exposure to currents of
air. Flannel shirts worn next to the body
ore considered indispensable to the healtn
of children of all ages, and should never lie
omitted in the selection of the little one’s
outfit. With a knitted wool shirt tfext to
tho body, a child is comparatively safe from
disorders caused by changes in temperature.
Where children are extremely delicate they
may be dressed in simple slips of opera
flannel, albatross cloth or nuas’ veiling,
made with long sleeves. Very little em
broidery is nsoil on infants’ sliirts, as the
needlework is likely to be harsh to the deli
cate flesh. Shirts of wool knitted and soft
und clastio, arc nice and comfortable for
the tiny bodies, and cost bnt fifty to ninety
cents for the plain ones. There are also
the most cearming of knitted silk shirts.
Cloaks and wraps are preferably made in
cashmere and opera flannel for tho less ex
pensive ones, aud the richest are of Otto
man and Hicilliene, with elaborate em
broidery and lace gnrniture. For warm
weather there ore many cloaks of white,
■ink and blue American surah silk worn, as
ho material may be washed and looks well
afterward. Embroidered nuns’ veiling is
desirable for this purpose and ia not at Ml
expensive. The “Mother Hubbard" is still
the most popular shape, although many
sacques are made. There are many very
pretty wraps and cloaks made of opera flan
nel. It is a good plan to have a couple of
wraps at least, and these ehonld be of dif
ferent degress of warmth, as one that is
too heavy may keep the child too warm,
und the removing is almost certain to give
it u cold.

id Enough to Malie One’s Hair Curl.—
I don’t think that I hive given you a recipe
l n sweet ilisb for some time; so hero is a
delicious one and very simple to make: It is
called ltiz a l’lmperatrice:
il Iho rice, os though for a pudding,
then make a custard with three eggs and a
pint of milk flavoring it with vanilla and
maraschino, aud sweetening it to taste.
When the rice is thoroughly cooked and
uito dry mix it with tho custard, n little
freshly btewed fruit or jam, nccording to
the season, and half n pint of whipped
cream. When well mix™! peur the whole
into n mould, stand it in the freeze^ and
turn it out wheu wonted.
Charlie says it ia good enongh to make
one’s hair enri. There’s a kit of current
slang for yon.—London Trntb.
Cooking Oysters.—Remember that an
oyster is like an egg, the longer it is cooked
the harder it gets. Opinions are divided
between the two plans of stewing oysters.
One is to bring tho oyster, in tho liqnor, to
the boiling point, removing it instantly
then, and letting the “soup" cook a little
longer while you add the thickening; then
pour it over the oysters. The other is to
cook the liquor, thickening and nil, first,
nnd then plump in the oysters at the last
minute before serving. The nearer you
come to oatiug oysters raw the more diges
tible the are. In reheating any stewed oys
ters that mny have been left over, only heat
the sonp and pour over the oysters in the
tnreen. A few shreds of mace are the only
seasoning required.
Practical Hints on Frying.
Many persons are horrified if you men
tion frying to them, as they deem it a very
improper way way of cooking food, which
may be pretty true, owing to the false idea
that many cooks have about tho method of
frying.
To smear the bottom of a frying pan
with grease of some kind, place it over
a hot lire, pnt in the meat or fish, and
turn ns they cook is the method in com
mon use, and much food is badly and waste-
fuUy cooked in this manner.
To fry properly ono should have a deep
dish—porcelain, granite, or iron, as may be
convenient—although for lightness, Man
liness and durabilityjl think granite ware
the best, nnd have sufficient tut to cover
entirely the articles to be fried. These
may be put into an ordinary wire basket
and plunged into the hot fat until brown.
Frying kettles nro more convenient than the
wire bosket, as tho very best place to drain
tho fried food is over the hot rat.
Tho largo amount of fat necessary to
cover the articles fried is by some consider
ed oxtruvagant os compared to the method
of greasing tho bottom of tho pan, bnt
actual experiments havo proved to the
contrary. Tho waste is far less, as there
is no toss by burning and less fat adheres to
the food.
The heat may bo tested by frying a small
piece of bread or potato, and the same fat
can ho used for the several kinds of food,
in tile following order: Potatoes, oysters,
chicken, vonl und fish. Nothing can ex
ceed the excellence of fish fried in this way,
and fat that is not suitable to fry pota
toes, chicken or oysters can still be used
for fish.
A careful cook may keep tho frying fat
continually good liy pouring it into a deep
baa in,, let it harden and then scrape off tbo
sediment at the bottom before reheating. All
the drippings of roost meat and grease re
moved from sonp stocks can boused, either
alone or mixed with lard or oil. Olive oil is
excellent for frying, hut too expensive for
general use, while cotton-seed oil has tho
merit of economy and u lees objectionable
in flavor than much oj the lord now in use.
Hotter is not suitable l'oqfrying, as it burns
to easily.
To prepare oysters, chicken, veal or fish,
for frying, roll them in fine bread crumbs,
then in beaten egg and then in cracker
crumbs. This renders them grease proof.
Do not use a fork to remove them from the
kettle, but with a skimmer remove them to
dishes prepared with layers of paper under-
