remembered, is a blue with tones
of purple in it,
A new and Frenchy feature of
the season’s millinery is the com
billing of black and white ribbon
innarrow stripes, with trimmings
o! all sorts of colors, a bow or knot
of the neutral yet dashing stuff ap
pearing on almost every thing,from
peach-blossom theatre bonnets to
beaver hats.
An autumn touch is given to
some of the much-worn golf cap"s.
whrse introduction last spring was
followed by a wide popularity by
adding a huod of fur, usually otter.
The hood is then lined with the
satin or surah which is the distin
guishing feature of these useful
and natty affairs.
Os course there is a golf cloth
among the fall importations. It is
double faced and has a surface of
dark rich-colored cloth, with the
reverse Bide showing plaids in a
variety of clan designs, Its use

More than ever is the coming
seahon ro be • m of accessori-s
rather than materials —I hat is, the
gown fabric may be silk, satin,
cloth or VH.vet, but there must b >
abundant trimmings.
Lace is to be freely used m com- '
biuaiiou with fn-. the lace being
rather heavy a d coarse, and ar
r ing din patterns ins'ead of be
ing fulled on as is the usual office
of that flimsy garniture. Jet too is
still in high vogue, which will be
welcome news to older.and young
women aliae, as its spark e is uni
versally becoming.
There is a fancy, large pointe I
ovals, rounds, and crescents in cut
jet, intermingled and held togeth
er by tiny, sparkling beads and
paillettes, while the jet sequin is
still offered and bought every
where.
This is to be emphativally a fur
year, and fur garments and fur
trimmings will be more in evidence
than ever. The fur cape has taken
to itself inches, but it remains as
fashionab e as last season, and
must continue in favor so long as
the big sleeves are worn.
No heavy jacket can comforta
bly and without crushing encom
pass the distended pulls, bags, and i
stiff caps which still adorn (?) the
modish sleeve. The most popular
cape is from 20 to 24 inches deep,
and is of clo-e fu , lk‘ Pt r dan
lamb, seal, or otter. They are cut
with an immense sweep, some so
full that when they are laid out
flat they make a perfect circle, and
look as if they were cut witn a
pair of compasses. No muffs are
shown with them, and this bit of]
femininity remains hopelessly
passe. The thrifty woman, by the
way, if she will risk moth inroads,
can get a fine muff for a low price,
which she can put away fur the un
doubted revival of these articles
sooner or later.
A NEW PROFESSION.
I
Invented and Pursued hy a Young
Philadelphia Woman.
Miss Kathleen Shippen is a
young woman to whom belongs the
honor of a now profession. She is,
according to the Philabelphia
Ledger, an entertainer of young
persons and children.
What Miss Shippen aims to ac
complish is to make children hap
py in their own way, directing
their tastes and keeping them pleas
ed and good-humored. She has a
regular system. A few days before
conducting a party she finds out
the age of the little hostess and the
number and ages of her guests.
Then she talks over menus, decora,
tions, and games with the mother
of the family. On the day of the
party she goes to the house an hour
or so before the guests begin to ar.
rive and sees that everything is in
readiness. When the little folks
arrive, she helps to entertain them.
Concerning her methods, she
says: ‘ What games do I play? All
the old ones, all the new ones, and
a good many which I have invent
ed. I try nev r to 'et conversation
dr >p into Btillufesß. but t • keep the
i tie minds alert and interested,
and when they are enjoying *
game to the full I begin to play a
waltz on the piaro. and they a l
drop into the dance.
Thus the gam i does not pall up
on them and surfeit them, b it they
are ready to piav it again uoou the

Apple Pie in Nova Sect a.
A recent visitor to Nova Scotia
heard there an anecdote of a little
old woman who was one day urg

hungry, refused. “Now, do let me

THE CRADLE’S DECLINE.
The old Fashioned Article seems
to be out of Date.
“The other day,” said an ac
quaintance, *1 wanted an ordinary
c 'inmou cradle like the cradles of
'hirty years ago, and would you
believe it, I hunted the whole city
over before I could find anything
a all.
There were rockers end bassinets
galore and all other kinds of de
vices. but the old-time cradle seems
to have gone entirely out of use ”
It is a singular fact, but it ap
pears to be true, that the crad e has
I, s' its grip; singular, ina=mi ch
as it has occupi-d a warm and
perpetual field of usefulness for
many centuries.
The cradles of the Greeks and
Romans were of various shapes ;the
infant Hermes is represented in
1 n formed like a shoe. They we e
OJcasionly made of basket work,
sometimes with handles, and could
ba suspendad by ropes.
Infants were rocked and swung
to “leep by their nurses aud had
their rattles even as the modern
babies.— Upholsterer.
October Wedding Rules.
The number of bridesmaids and
ushers at a wedding is altogether
optional. At any large jewelry
shop pretty articles for brides
maids’ souvenirs may be found.
Among them are bangles, upon
which the initials of th« bride and
groom may be combined in ; |rnon
ogram, L»ce pin-, prayer books
bound in white, card case, etc.
For the ushers scarf pins, pock
et stamp-b x s, < uff Jhuttons and
penci's are in order. The buds
usually presents her b.idesmaids
with their gloves,as does
his ushers. The groom furnishes
the fl >wers for the bride and brides
maids and the boutonnieres for
the groomsman and ushers. Tne
cards of invitation should alwr. s
he provided by the family of the
bride.
Wanted: A Wife for a Prince.
The Vienna newspapers are noted
for the amusing’character of thtir
advertisements. Here is a literal
translation of an extraordinary ad
vertisement which has been ap
pearing recently: “A young prince,
the owner of a lordly estate of
great value, has the intention to
marry. He seeks a handsome and
intelligent girl of about 20
years of age, of good family, and
with a dowry of not less than 3,-
jQOO.OOOgueldens (£250,000). —Ap-
ply,” etc.
Ths Queen’s Fire Brigade.
Queen Victoria has a great hor
ror of fire, and has arranged quite
a complete fire brigade among her
servants, so that it is at hand
wherever she is in residence. The/
had a very successful “false alarm ’
the other day at Osborne, and ev
ery one whs at his post, accord
ing to order, hs if on board ship.
Prince Henry, among his other
useful doin'Stic ro'es, i« chief of
the little brigade. The Queen has
taken the greatest interest in the
whole concern, and frequently
amuses herself by watching th
drill. The firemen are chiefly
stalwart yauDg stablemen, grooms
aud footmen, but there are also
two juvenile French cooks who
burn to distinguish themselves
Potato Scallops.
Boil and mash the potatoes soft
with a very little bit of milk. Beat
np lightly with melted butter—a
dosser s o >nful for every half pin
of the potato; salt aud pepper to
taste. Fill some patty-pans or but
tered scallop shells with the mix
