For light woolen dresses the albatross cloth is In

The Philadelphia tall gtvea a pretty way to make
tissue paper mats: Take two sheets of tl*sus pa

Fasten* the braid, nr woven part, with a needle
and thread, then cut tho end* Into line strips, the

ting the fringe, lay the mat on the table, taking
damp cloth (merely damp) over your hand and
rub the frirge round and round, and then rub "
uud betw een your hands. This makes It crinkle.
Paste a stiff paper under the mat. Dust may be
removed by staking them without damaging the

Outdoor Winter Garments Not Quite
Long.
Outdoor garment for winter are not worn quite
* long as last year, being for the most part about
no yard fifteen Inches oroneyard nineteen Inches
on the neck to the lower edge. The aloeves are
made wider and fuller above, therefore, do not
Hqpd up so prominently a* we have been accus
tomed to. This will be seen on the models for
ladles, and especially children, shown In thl*
number.
Fewer beaded trimmings are obicrvcdlthl* win
ter, for dull finishes seem all the rage. A few
brsldtd motifs Intermixed with embroidery are
in ployed for garments ornamented with applica
tions; braids are the only exceptions to thla rule,
and we see elegant pattern* of gold, silver, steol,
etc.,glittering on the broader klnda. Velvet is much
lav* red by fa*bion, also plush, and even velveteen,
which Is really of wonderful beauty and richness
p ay* Its part, but of all the trimming*, fur is the
tip top of the mode. There 1* a profusion of good
peltry at hand, such ns opossum, Indian beaver,
grebe, fox, lynx, attraeban. bear, chinchilla,
skunk, seal, sable, sable tall, inartaln tall, etc
worn ms onrlcd or frlse borders, tippets, round
'itpes, and as deep cuff*.
There are costly mantles of dull sllk,flelf colored
or figured satin, with applications of velvet,
daniRsk, self colored, flowered, or embroidered
civet, richly trimmed with fur and pOMcmuutc-
rle, tassels, frlugey, and kuotted ornament! Or
agraffes.
Winter cost times are extremely plain, braid being
Imost the only finish thought necessary; plain

of the prettiest styles of plainly trimmed skirt,

The Little Iteggar*a Button-Hole Bouquet.
'Twas on a bitter winter???s day,
I saw a strange, pathetic sight;
The streets were gloomy, cold and grey,
The air with falling snow was white.
A little ragged beggar child
Went running through the cold aud itorm;
He looked as If he never smiled,
As if he never had been warm.
Sudden he spied beneath his feet
A faded button-hole bouquet;
Trampled and wet with rain and sleet,
Withered aud worthless, there It lay.
He bounded, seized it with delight,
Stood still and shook It free from snow;
Into his coat he pinned it tight,
His eyes lit up with sudden glow.
He sauntered on, all pleased and proud,
Bis face transformed in every line;
And lingered that the hurrying crowd
Might chance to see that he was flue.
The man who threw the flowers away,
Never one half such pleasure bad;
The flowers' best work wm done that day
In cheering up that beggar lad.
Ah, me! often we forget,
Happy in these good homes of ours,
How many in this world are yet
Glad even of the withered flowers.

There waa once a little boy who read in hia Tes
tament tbc stories about Jesus; and as little chil
dren think that everything they read is near by,
he supposed that Jcaus aud bis disciples were liv
ing mar by, in the same town nr the next, sad he
thought he would like to go and find Jesus, and
n??k him whether he might not stay with him
awhile, and be one of his scholars. So one morn
ing he got up early snd set out on his journey be
fore any one else waa up. He left a little note
the table for hia father and mother, which was
this:
Dear Pops nnd Mamma: I am going to find
Jesus. I wish to be oue of his disciplea, with Peter
and James and John. I am very little, but I can
do somctblug. 1 can bring him water when he ia
thirsty, and wash hia feet when he Is tired with
walking, and by and by I will come home and tell
you all about it. Charley.
So Charley set out very bright and fresh. He had
i Idea, as little children have, that the worl-.l is
only a few miles across, nnd that everything ls
close by; eo he thought he would meet some one
soon who would tell him where Jesus wa*. But
after walking for an hour or so, he began to get
tired, and wanted his breakfast. He went straight
into a house and sat do wu. Now, in this house
there lived a very old man and woman who had
no children. When they saw this little curly-head
ed boy coming In, they said: What do you want,
my son?" And be told them he wanted some bread
and milk for breakfast. They gladly gave it to
him; and while ho was eating It, he told them how
going to find Jesus, aud a??ked If tuey could
tell him where Jesus and bis disciples were to-day.
The old man and woman were n-douished at tbi*
question, and said: ???My dear child, we do not
know." So he ttanked them for his breakteit,
ond they gave him a piece of bread to tako with
him, and ho went away. Then the old man and
woman said to eaeh other; ???Is It not strauge that
this little hoy should bo trying to find Jesus, and
we have never tried to beChrlhtiansull our lives?'
eo they resolved they would begin then to be
Christians, and they kuclt down and prayed God
to make them so, and they felt very happy.
Sothulittloboy went ou, and came to where
two men were sitting and disputing. One wa*
infidel, and did not believe lu Jcmus Christ at all.
The other was a Christian, but he was a hard sort
of Christian, who could argue for Christ; but he
did It as If he were scolding. The little boy stop
ped to listen, and presently went up and said, ???If
this man wants to kn6w Christ, don???t wait here
talking and scolding, but come help mu to find
him, for lam looking for him, too." Then ho took
tbtm each by the hands and led them along, aud
they stopped arguing, curious to aoc where he was
going; and they west along together.
Presently they camo to where some one was ly
ing on the ground, groaning with pain. Then tho
little boy said: ???Oh, now we shall flud Jesus, for
ho always goca where people oreslck; ho will come
here presently. Let us sit down by this sick man,
and ntmo him, and make him comfortable, and
Jesus will come hero directly." So they snt down
and nursed the sick man, till at la*t ho felt better,
and got up and went away thanking them. But
no Jesus came, aud the little boy begau to bo dis
couraged.
However, ho got up. aul said, ???Let u?? go and
look farther; for He said, 'Seek and ye shall find.???
But the two men wild, ???No, little boy, w i will go
no farther, for wc know how to find him now. Wc
see that Jesus ls uot to be found iu dteputiug, but
by following him. Good by, little boy; you have
done us a great deal of good "
Then tbc littlo follow Journeyed on till he came
to where a poor beggar sat on the ground, and he
asked the littlo boy for bread. Charley took the
piece be had saved In the morning, and broko It
In two, and gavo the beggar half, aud said, ??? Take
this nnd eat, In the name of Christ, nnd I will eat
the rest." And the beggar said, ???Dear little boy,
this Is the first time I have oaten the Lord's Sup
per for fifty jests.
So night came on, and the little boy began to bo
frightened. But the beggar a*kcd him who ho
was, and where he lived; and ho told the whole
story. Then the beggar got up and went with him,
and showed him the way home. And his father
and mother, who had been looking for hiux all
day, were very glad, and said, ???We Have nought
you all day." lint ho said. "Why so? I have bom
looking fer Jcaus." Theuhcweut luto hi* little
bed and went to sleep.
And he dreamed, and, behold! Jesuscamoto
Mm and Mid, ???My dear little buy, you have look
ed for me all day, and I have been near you a'l the
time. I waa with you when you went to look for
Die, and when you went to ace the old man au l
woman, and the two arguers, and the sick man,
and the beggar, aud you have led tne to all of
them, The old man and woman will now bo my
disciples; the two arguers have left off dUputl ig,
and have begun to do good work*; the sick min
God for the chanty of his fellow men, uu-l
tbc old beggar feels that he Is not alone m the
wr rid. Go on, little boy, and always do so, an-! I
shall always be with you. Though you cauitotscz
me. you shall feci me In.your heart."???James
Freeman Clarke.
