AMONG THE SHOPS. htthe October Girl is Finding to Mini r and to buy. Th*> often-mentioned bluet is » cornflower bue, which, it wi'l be 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 *ill not be confined to ‘.he votaries of the fashionable Scotch game, but will be employed for early win ter country and shopping gowns.

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 n-xt opportunity. o i catin 't i .rgue much f r ihe p<\ u arity of a game until you have tried it.

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 ing upon her guests a choice o re freshments which they, not being hungry, refused. “Now, do let me THE HUSTLER OF ROME S nN DAY OCTOBER. 21 1894. ■ go and get xou s >n.e pie,’’ said the hostess. “Just say the word; Ihe I got three kinds of apple pie—open lace, cross-bar and kiverlit. ”—Bos ton Transcript. 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 ture ai d brown in au oven. Glaz'* while hot with butter and serve iu the shells. If you like, throw tome grated cheese over the top. •THE BIGGEST* THING ROME 4'**McDonald-Sparks-Stewart-Companj , >4- 'urnitiire, Caipels, mailings &. Wecarry the largest stock in the state.
