As a great many of our ladies do their own dress making it will not come amiss to give you a fashion letter this week and tell you ot few changes. These changes in the cut and appearance of a garment are so gradually made that one can hardly realize the markod difference in the dress of to-day from one made and approved last spring. In skirts there are some marked changes, though the leagth is the same, made just to escapo touching tho ground yet there is greater fullness allowed in the back for the tournure, which is much worn. Trains are worn more for evening dresses than they have bjen for several years, Tucks ore very much used in the thick vrexlen goods this winter, even the flounces are tucked. Basques and polonaises are both much worn, they are all made with a seam down the middle of tho back and side gores ucdor the arm. Shoulder seams are made still shorter than they were laafteosou, and sleeves ars not near so tight, this is fortunate for peo' pie with thin arms, for it was a fashion that was very disfiguring to small people. If there is a seam down tho middle of the back of the waist of a polonaise and it is desirable to avoid one down the middle of the back of skirt, it esn be done by laying the edge'of tho pattern for the back part ol the skirt to a fold ot the goods. The same rule applies to a basque that has a pleated skirt. As both comfort and ap- pcsrance demands that the elbow of the sleeve shall como in the right place, it in best alwsya to cut a lining a little longor, both at tho top and bottom, than is necessary; try it on at tho same time with the dress, fit the el bow at the proper place first, and then arrange the other parts to suit. A pretty dross is made of black aud white shepherd plaid trimmed with black velvet, narrow ribbon velvot on ho flounces and black velvet vest, cuds and cdlars, this with a simplo black felt hat trim med with black velvet and a bird wing is a pretty costume and not very oxponsire one for any one. Combination suits aro more worn than ever, so any one having a halt worn wool dress can make a very useful and handsome costume by combining with it aberut three yards of plaid, aud they come In all colors. Plain solid colored wool goods are very stylish trimmed with braid, either plain to match the dress or having a little gilt thread mixed in with it. Gilt and steel are much worn, small bonnets come (quitu cheap) with tbo entire crown of velvet aud gilt, or velvet and steel and the ouly trimming needed is a bow of vel vet t r a feather. Tiik excitement attending the prestdetlal ekclion, and the zmetingof the legislature, eclipH d all attempts pretty much at guyety in social circles in Atluuta during tho week. The influence of the general election, and the mm mhling of the general assembly was marked on social life. The presidency is settled, Blaine cun say to the people, in the dying words of Rabeliaa: ???Let down the curtain, the show is over,??? and with the dy ing words of Lucian: ???You may go home, the furce is over.??? Cleveland cun exclaim in the fixing words of Augustus: ???Give me your pluudits.??? As to the legislature, it will now go to work for the yocd of the state. 1 be mi tnbeis w ill kc flitting, and a sitting, still aiming; Fasting laws, the like of which wo never satr before, Aud keen eyes will have all tbo meauing of a msn who i> scheming, Laws which many nevtr dreamed of in our cv- cry day lore, So that society will once more arouse itself and unite in the duuce and other social di versions.

Yonr little niece, Uknly Buyers. Near Whltcsburg, Ga. ???<nands-ln-Ills.Poeket.Ham," ???And who???s that boy???? asked Berths. 'Boy, where???? replied be mother. Coming across the field." Mrs. elevens raised her eyes from her work and locked across the road. Out of the woods, down a slope leading to the road, came a stout boy of fourteen. Ho was roughly dressed, and his clothes were mean, either on account of bard times or a lasy temper. HU feet were bare, but they walked upon a carpet of emerald graas starred with the brightest dando loins. Not for a king himself would those flower* bare put on gay robes. The boy, though, did not belong to a rich, regal race. Mrs.8teven* plainly waa of that opinion, for ahe anawerel Bertha's question by saying: ???O, that Is nobody. I call him Hands-in-biv pocket-Bam, for that is where he always carries his hands. O, he la nobody." Little Bertha was old enough to be carious, but too joang to understand the best way of obtaining knowledge, and she harried over to meet ???Hands- In-hU-pocket-Bam," and ask unhesitatingly a very plain question- ???Be yon???be yon???" ???Wbatl??? said the boy, good-naturedly. ???Be you Hands in-his-pocket-Ham,???and???be you nclxdj r??? Then Bertha fastened her deep blue eye*on him. Tbtre was a thick coat of frown tan on Ham???s fooo but tbroujrb itall^be felt that ho was blddiing, and be pulled his baud* out of his pockets as If a dart had shot out of each big blue eye and they had j ainfully penetrated poor Ham. Bertha, child aa she was, saw that the boy was hurt somehow, somewhere, and she said with open snmiiath u for this picture of streogh, oonpmp mint end good health: "J don???t believe you are nobody." ???Who sold I was nobody?" asked Bsm, abruptly ???almost savagely. The boy'* manner frightened Berths, and turn ing on her heels, she began to ruu from the spot. t>be bad taken only a few steps wheu she stopped and looked again at ???Hands-lu-his pocket-Bam." "I didn???t mean nothin???,??? she said, sorrowful ly. hut Bam had cotton wool or something else in his tan. for he did not seem to be conscious of auy address to him. He was now striding back into the woods from which he had Issued. Bam Pcavy was a lump oj laziness. Ho carried his hands lu his pockets because he was too liuy to carry them any other way. Ho did uot like to study, he did uot like to cut wood, he did uot like to hoe in tho potato-patch, aud he did uot like to take bay lu the meadow. But lazy folks some times have a great deal of pride, aud somehow tboH^woexpressions."Hands lu-liis pocket tiam,??? and ???Nobody,??? were like new swords with very shaip points to them. ???And she was a girt, too," thought Sam. "If H bad been a boy, I wouldn't have cared So much. And a girl too, not much higher than a bumble bee!" Nam fait that bis troubles were mountain-high. ???What bare feet I???ve got!" be said, lookiug down. ???W'bat a bad b 11 wear, rim all gonol??? He stopped. .???1 will be somebody,??? be oxclalmcd aloud, aud be took his hand out of bis pockets aud flourished bis fists as a bam drummer would his kuobby sticks. Then bo resinned his walk home. ???Who's that???? be asked, stopping ugalu, and looking through the rapidly thiuuiug forest upon a field, brown, loamy, aud ready for the sower. ???Ho, there's old Gtoddlus planting potatoes,??? cald Bum. Ouco ho would not liavo looked at ???Old Grad- dlts??? at all, if ho had plauted potatoes week after week, but uow Bam said to biutself, ???I wonder If he wouldn't give me a Job, aud I might earu enough to buy mu a pair of shoes.??? ???Don't you waut some help?'' ho asked aloud when he met tho mail. ???I will work cheap.??? ???It is pretty tiresome work, Barn. Do I want tome help? Well, yes, I guess I do. You might begin at that row back of mo aud drop potatoes where I have been at work." Thrco days after that Bom weut homo with a pair of shoes. ???Going to be somebody,??? said Sam, as he covored his bare feet. The next day, passing a farm-yard.ho heard a great buzzing of saws aud an occasional crock of an ax. ???Job!" said Bam, cxultlngly. ???I will ask John Berry for one. Ho boa tho bossing of the Job.??? John Berry and several other men were busy about Squire Graham's wood pile. ???You have got more sawyers than you havo wood-choppers, ouly ono mau to split for *11 yon fcilowe. Don???t you want somo help at splitting???? asked 8am. John Berry eyed Sara and said to himself, ???I don???t know about this boy. Ho loafs too much, and carries his bands lu his pockets.??? John began to shake his bead, but stoppod in a moment. ???He has not got his hands in bis pockets to day," thought John, ???that is a good sign, but, tut?????? "Buts??? are tho bullets that kill many poor fel lows??? chances for success, and ills death-ball was, ???But Saw hasn't bcen-much at a job in tho part.??? ???Hullo, John, how aro you prosp'ring????

John, you try that Bam going away from tho gate. He helped mo lu <ny potato-plant in', or I might have been nowhar. You giro him a job, if he will tsko it." Tako It? It was tho very thing Bam had boon asking for, and when John csliod him back, he went to the wood-pile with a happy heart, ???Going to bo somebody," he said in a low votoe, ss he-swung hts ax over his first stick of wood. "TOtM, tako that!??? < ???WhackI??? sounded tho ax, and open came tho wood. In two days, Ssm went homo with a good-looking hat.
