no formality here ami the room should be

When tbe room Is enteral it ahouM Lie ho
bright, no cheerful, Unit wkIiiohk ami tie
preHsion drop away. A kombrc room will
jriveany one the Much, anl for this rouMn
uxe all that Is (loxsiblc of the bright martial
red ; it arouse triumphant feolins, joy and
gnyety.
Out a carpet with a deal of carlct in it; a
cr earn -col o red ground with deep st-urlet
roflt-i is very pretty, if one can aiTord a
BraHHtU, if not, the new ingrains have beauti
ful tleigns ami bl ight colors.
Numbers of small, oddly-shapeil tables, low
and high, are placed about tbe room and
used for books, works, photographs, and
whatever oim has "lying round." Or one
large table, that symbol of comradeship and
content, and it should always bo covered
with a quite, rich beautifully bordered
cloth.
Oypny tables and window stands are
covered with dark, rich stuff, tho valance
around caught up in small f on toons and fas
tened with bows or tassels, finished round
the edge of tbe table with cord. If you
have a couch that is stiff and ugly, try what
a few soft cnhiotis will do.
A handy m m with a fow carpenter tools
ooul . soon make a nice easel out of black
walnut, also screen and f ledefetaLi. An old
aecoud-hand cabinet, in dead black, might be
bought for a little, and, stowed away in a
shady corner, would look as well as new, to
hold a few bric-a-brac; and for pictures se
lect a few choice engravings in plain frames.
'When you have an old fashioned cuptioard
in tbe sitting-room that you don't sem to
know just what to do with, take off the
doom, paint the inside a deep rich red, or
cover the sides and shelves with cloth of the (
same red shade. Put a straight piece of
leather, pinked on tbe lower edge across the
shelves, and fasten with brass upholstering
nails. - In this alcove or recess put all the
quaint vases, china, brass ornaments any
thing odd and pretty. Or it may be used for
the iook case. Or arrange curtains on a rod
to draw across the opening. A few of these
tastefully arranged things give an air of
comfort and luxury to a room hardly to be
estimated by the small amount expended.
Small gypsy tables, covered with pretty
material and fringe, are just the thing for
the work basket, books or Twits of flowers.
An ordinary stone jar, such as pickles and
other things are kept in, may be painted a
cbocolate-browu or dark ml, and decorated
with feius, flowers, birds and butterflies.
Ginger jars, small stone jugs, whatever has
a good or classical shape, may be tirade a
thing of beauty, if harmony and taste aro
carefully observed.
There must be a bracket here and there
beneath a picture, where a pot of ivy can be
placed to form a graceful framing to the
fiorprait, perhaps of some loved one, or for
an engmving or pretty chromo.
A bunch of oats, with long, even stems.
tied with a band of wide satin ribbon and
suspended by the same under u picture, is a
simple, pretty decoration within the reach of
almost any one.
A large iiamitas plum with five or six long
peafowl feathei-s, using tbe plume as a back
ground for the feathers, all tied with a band
of jjeacock blue or gree:i ribbon, is often fast- ;
ene-1 on the wall in a corner, over the door, :
over or un'ier a picture, or on the upper cor-
ners of an easel or high music stand. If these
are pressed in packing, shake them over the
grate or near the stove, and the heat will
spread and make them fluffy.
Liu-ge vases tilled with one large or three
smaller pampas plumes, make a pretty corner
piece and also add much to the attractiveness
of a mantel-shelf One or two bright-tinted
fans, hung on the wail, a bunch of catkins.
or an empty bird's nest, tied with a bright
bow of ribbon or fastened on the picture wire,
(for always hang pictures with tbe common
wiie, it does not rhow but little, no danger of
moths iu the cord), a large va e in the corner
filled with sprays of autumn leaves, ferns, or
wild grasses are also desirable ornamenta
tions.
A It e form
in Children's
Parties
Reeded.
(Saratoga Cor. Feck's Sun.
Children's parties are all right when they
are conducted iu a rational manner. I say
rational not in the sense that I would bave it
understood that the children's parties as
given here at Long Branch, Newport and
other watering places are irrational, but they
are overdone. I am told, however, that New
port has give n up the custom of making the
children's ball a regular weekly alfair. I
have had several talks with some of the good
eld mothers who have been summering here
at the "States," and they are of the same
opinion as myself that a reform should bo
instituted, not political, as would naturally
be supposed, and of which so many have
started here at Saratoga, but a reform in
children's parties.
I was talking recently with a mother on
this subject, and she, with tears in her eyes,
said she would not come to Saratoga another
season with her children. She said she had
come each season since she was married, and
had of late years brought her children.
'But," says she, "I cannot come and bring
them another season if these children's parties
are continued.'1 I have heard a great many
other mothers express themselves in the
same manner. And can you wonder at it?
The demoralizing influences of these un
natural displays are abundantly evident in
the whole after career and development of
these litt e ones who are so fortunate as to
have fathers and mothers who, unthinkingly
send their children to these parties, thinking
only of the present in their children's lives,
and anxious that they shoidd have as grand a
time as tbe children of their neighbors or
friends. If these fathers and mothers, who
bave been so generous in the display their
children make in tbe ball-room at these wa
tering places, would stop and think of its af
ter effect, I do . not believe these children's
parties would be continued. "At 10 years
of age the little girl of tbe day is an incipient
coquette,7' remarked an old gentleman who
was a spectator at one of these balls. "At
14 she is a finished woman of the world, and
knows as much as her mother, and
enjoys
her knowledge a great deal more."
Better Mather.
Dr. J. H. Hanaford in Western Plowman.
Tbe great demand of tbe age is better edu
cated females educated in ail respects, their
whole capabilities brought into activity.
since tbe health, vigor, mental and moral
power of tbe next generation at least, will
depend on tlieir condition more than all other
influences combined "each after its kind."
The sickly mother will rear a sickly child.
though that feebleness may not at first be
manifest. The peevish mother so dur
ing the most important period of her
earthly life will produce peevishnoa
In her offspring. The grovelling,
low, sensual, intemperate, and vicious woman
becomes just to hat extent the mother of
just such children, as the future wul demon
strate. If these are facts, therefore, it is a
matter of viial importance that our girls
should Lo thoroughly educated to become
wives and mothers, not so much because that
Is their highest position, cs because tbe
true wo ii a a wUu ?s to be a wife and mother
Crom the very aspirations of her nature. If
the is thus to beooma the mother of tho race,
It is her right and the duty whiob society
owes her, to have every possible facility to
become tbe highest typo of such a moUier
healthy and wise. .' . ..

Harriet M. Horris in "Woman's Journal
amiunn are no orer-ouraenod that tne actual
demands of life, from day to day, consume
all their time and ttrength. But, "of two
evils chooso the leant;" and which would you

despair of melting it with your hot tears and

I have seen a woman who was absolutely

hour to read or talk with them I havo secu

thirty miatites in iMjlLsLmg tins wuk-Ii were

Iho Master's treasures placed "in her care,
there will be questions and answers like these:
"Where are tho boys aud girls I gave
dice?"
"Lord. I was busied keening my house
;leau and in order, and my children wandered
iwuv!"
"Where wert thou while thy sons and thy
laughters were learning lessons of dishou-
ssty, malice and impurity?"
"Lord. I was polishing furniture an 1 ruf
fling dresses and making beautiful rugs!'
"What hast thou to show for thv life-

Ob! these children! thesa children! The
restless, eager boys and girls whom we love,
more than our own lives! Shull we devote

Fleeting oh! mother, are the days of child

the consciousness that every thing about the

poor comfort in tliat day wherein we shall

Children' Toilettes.
The Season.
Children's toilettes are less subject to the
caprices of fashion than those of their elders.
and the shape worn for some years past are
5o becoming, graceful and healthful that sen
sible mothers who consult the well-being of
their tender ohT- spring often express a hope
that such loose styles may not go out for
some time to come. It Is true attempts have
Dften beeu made to copy in a certain way the
costumes of mammas, young aunts, or older
listers, yet an insurmountable obstacle for
the dressmaker who wishes to turn a delicate
Qgure of four or five years into tbe stuffed
dimensions of a fashionable puppet, is the un
formed, growing frame of the little wearer,
which cannot be brought to look anything
but awkward in a tight fitting stvle. and as
to improvers, strings aud hoops, long skirts,
pointed corsages, and voluminous trimmings,
we ask, would ibes agree with the youthful
vivacity and sprigutliness of our litlle
friends?
Happily, too, for the present generation,
art has acquired sufficient sway to dictate
laws in this line of fashion, and it is now uni
versally agreed that garments giving freedom
it liiub and action lend grace and charm to.
young people of all ages, though it must never
be forgotten that any inherent faults aud
failings in the juvenile loans of chiJdreu and
god girls should lie concealed as gracefully
j j,ossible.
The richness of children's costumes depends
upon the age of the wearers; and the loveliest
dresses are certainly seen ou little people be
tween "J and ' years, for babies are always
rlressed in loose clothes.
What a Woman 1 1 an Developed.
Chicago Inter Orean.
A Mrs. Chapman, of New York city, has
treated a small industry on a large scale for
women. She liegati by making the large col
lars for children out of two braids, the ordi
nary "feather edge'' and "'rick-rack" con
nected together, or aided in forming designs
by lace stirches. executed with crochet nee
dles and knitting cotton. The demand be
came so great that her owu hands were una
ble to supply it, and she begau to employ
women and give instructions in tbe art,
which is not tiitlicult.
This was four years ago. Mrs. Chapman
has now 700 women on her liooks, living in
diiferent psrts of this and other states, many
on Long Island and in New Je. sey. Tbey are
j mainly married, and do the work at home,
. and as a l"lp, or in order to have some
money of their "wry own." Some few ladies
come in carriages to get their work, which,
of course, is not very remuneiative, being of
a kind that can t taken up readily and does
not require much skill. The pecuniary result
of ten hours' work amounts to about a dollar.
The articles includes collars, cuffs, collarettes,
dresses, caiis, lace covers for the toilet and
tbe like, and might be extended to coverlids,
curtains, shams, and other things in
definitely. Seventy-five thousand collars
were supplied last year to tbe wholesale
bouse that takes all of Mrs. Chapman's pro-
auctions.
A Xcw Theory of Love.
Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.
What is all this finery for? Does it make
men admire us? Or love us? Have fine
feathers really anything to do with fascinat
ing these nial birds? Sentiment 13 lieyond
me, anyhow. A journalistic friend assured
me that sympathy was the great inciter of
love. He said that the Rev. Dr. Buckley
told him of having met, in an asylum, two
tieautiful and accomplished women, who
were teachers in the institution and wives of
deaf and dumb men. They might have bad
their pink, to a reasonable extent, from
among men with full faculties, and yet they
had chosen husbands who never had and
never could speak or bear a word. The two
matches had proved so agreeable that a "
ytiung heiress of tbe neighborhood
was betrothed to a third pupil.
tr. Buckley . had convinced himself
tnat sympathy in these instances begot love.
The Hev. Dr. Newman was in the party, and
my friend quotes him as dissenting from
that theory and saying, "A woman invaria
bly has an ideal man in her mind for a hus-
Lband. She doesn't often find his counter-
part in reality. Now, what is it that usually
disillusionizes her?. It is the mans talk.
He looks like a very commonplace mortal.
Now a deaf mute doesn't let himself down in
that way. His methods of conversation are
so laborious that he doesn't resort to them
unless he has something to say. He remains
a hero in tlie estimation of the woman whom
ho impresses favorably by his person, and
she falls in love with him for good and aH."
So we had Itetter stop dressing carefully
and hold our tonpuss in case this theory is
sound and reversible as to sexes.
Tbe .tli-ifurtuue ot Kalsinff False
Hope?.
Cor. "Whitehall Times.
The tendency of the age is to level the har
riers between the sexes; girls play tennis,
they row, they rink, they skate, they sit in
smoking-rooms, they dance, not only in the
evenings, but in the afternoons. The
natural tendency of such inliuiate associa
tion would be matrimony. But tbe fact is
that men who might bad serious inten
tions are frightened off before liking begets
love. There is an all-prevailing fuss
pervading the Intercourse of young
people which Is altogether detrimental.
The instmt a pair begin to show any par
ticular l.'k'nr for each other's sociory, tho

One 3Iasn of Jllwory.
Cor. Detroit Free Press "Household."
One of the greatest causes of misery among
the working classes is early marriages. Thou
sands marry for what is called lovo without
the least comfort. The poor wife is contiuu-
allyVat her wits' end how to make lioth ends
meet; the care, the misery, tho suffering she
has to go through, is imjxjKsible to describe.
The family is continually living from hand
to mouth, the husband fears to be out of
work, he cannot look the future in the face.
and there is nothing left for them but a con
tinual struggle against poverty. Home to
them is not a home; it is ouly a name. If the
husband happens to die the wife and children
are left utterly destitute, nothing for them
but tbe poorhouse aud the paujei-s' grave.
The very love they bave for their children
makes them miserable. Wid love make these
poor people happy? I say, no. Love can
never make teople happy under such circum
stances. John Bright says: "It is one mass
of misery from tho cradle to the grave."

"M?lican man u satie cookee lire." said a
Mott street Chiiutiiiiiri who was industriously

sidewalk. "She no wasliee plenty. Heap

A Chinaman uses just so much water that
the nco will cook dry. He never touches a
spoon to it, and when it is done every grain
is whole, soft, aud thoroughly cooked.

Primitive Jewish Weddings.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The primitive Jews do not appear to have
performed any definite ceremonies at the
wedding, yet they had some sort of a ratifi
cation of the vows of espousal. The day
before tbe wedding the brido took a bath,
which then, as in more moderu tiin-js, was a
somewhat formal procedure. The bride
groom on the wedding day was arrayed in
bis most gorgeous attire, wearing on his
head eitner a turban or gold or silver crown,
and sometimes one of flowers or leaves. He
was also highly perfumed with myrrh and
fankincense. Tho bride wore a long veil which
covered her from head to foot, indicative of
her submission to her husband, a girdle and
chaplet of gold or silver. The time of the
ceremony was generally in the evening, and
the bridegroom, accompari5ed by his friend3,
and musicians and torch-beru'ers, went to her
house and brought bar and her party to his
own or his father's house amid shouts and
sounds of joy. At the bri legroom's house a
feast was given, after which followed music
and dancing, the male guests d ucing around
the bridegroom and the women around the
bride. When a virgin married parched com
circulated among the guests to suggest the
hope of fruitfulness and. plenty. The last act
in the Jewish wedding ceremony was leading
the woman, still veiled, to the bod-cha:nber,
where a canopy, sometimes a bower of roses
and myrtles, was awaiting.
Of Interest to Teamsters.
Chicago Times.
A farmer who had used a wagr.n with
broad t ires on the wheels long enough to as
certain their relative value a$ compared with
narrow tires, writes: A four-injh tire will
carry two tons over soft ground with greaier
ease to the team than a 2g-inch tuv will
carry one ton. The wheels are not so much
strained by stones aed rouorh tracks on th
road, and tbe road is not cut up, iur, on the
contrary, is packed down and kept smooth.
The prevalent idea that tue oraugat u m
creas!d by widening the tire is altogether
baselciss; on tbe contrary, a wide tire reduces
the draught. The extra cost of the tire is re
paid many times over every year in the extra
work tuat can be aono uy a uam.
