Tho night wm raid outside, no tloubt, but In tho pleasant homo tho atmosphere was it warm us ns well, a toast which wits what llttlo Oretchen's grandmother always snld wlion slio w Ishftl to tlotcrlho something very oozy nntl coinforlnhlo In tho wny of toinivrn ttiro. KverylKxly thoiiRlit that llttlo Uretcliett wns nsloop, which wns rather strmiRo, for It ns tho ulsht before Chrlstmns nud if llttlo chllilien over lit) nivnku In tho world, It Is on tho night which to them U tho dearest nud lit', tensest nud most drnumtlo night of nil tho year. Oretchen wns but perhnpi It would U bettor for you to gueM her ngo from what sho did, for n very wise poi son onco toltl mo that it Is oven morn fnolUh to Judge n human being hy'tho years Mint have nssotl him than by tho clothes that ho wenrs. I cnu say this nlnnit llttlo Oretchen, tlmt sho lilted linns Christian Andersen' fnlry titles very much nntl that her father, who read them to her, fancied that tho story teller must frequently have sat with such n hlld ns Oretchen on his kueo niul stroked her lino gold hair and kissed her. Oietchen had n small lied cloo to that in which her father and mother slept, and nN though sho wns geno-nlly asleep in It by 11 o'clock, tho rny from n street lamp which sly ly sllpiicd In nt n curtained window near .ami which for years had rested every night upon her counterpane, could lmvo told you that upon this imrtlctilnr night sho wns wltlonwnko long after U o'clock nntl that her brown eyes had been open over slnco tho lights in tho room had Iwen put out. Sho lay very still, however, because sho hail something to do which, although sho wns good ami truthful, for stnno reason sho did not wish her parents to know, Thcto Is n beautiful deception In tho woi Id on Christmas eve, mid It limy bo thnt Qreti hen In somo unconscious wny hud coma to share it nud then, tliern nro somo people who prefer to do kind things in stlenco nnd dnrkuesi nud w ho feel nOianud if nnyono tllicovera them. Why, I do not kuotv, unless It bo thnt thero nro so ninny other eoplo who fteom to do those things merely thnt they may bo discovered. I Iwllovo that Oretchen's mother wns among tho llrst, nud ns Oretchen hail her mother's hair nud eyes sho limy lmvo Inherited n portion of her ways. At any rate, just nfter tho little French clock on tho ninntol had struck VI Oretchen roso half wny In bed anil listened. She could hear her father nnd mother brenthlng nnd n mouse wns gnawing somewhere near tho dressing cusc. Sho wns afraid of the motive, but sho wns too much in earnest to ermlt oven so fearful n thing ns n mouse to daunt her, so sho thrust her hand softly under tho pillow nnd pulled forth what, had tho lights becu turned up nud lmd you been in tho room, you would hnvoHcen nt onco wns it largo, black stocking, filled with n number of things which bulged It out In the funniest nntl awk wardoit wny Imaginable. With this in her hand sho cllmlied carefully out of tied mid glided ncross tho heavily csqieted floor llko n woo ghost which had forgotten nnd staid out too Into. Tho bedroom opened with folding doors into n sitting room, nt ono end of which was a mantel, where, on all the Christmas vei that Oretchen could rememlier, her stock ing nnd her mother's had Iwen hung. Oretch en hail many times risked her father to hong his stocking there, too, but ho said tho leg of his stocking was too smnll to hold tho large prebctit which ho wantotl, nnd liesldes It was only children UKe Herself wno hung up their stockings for wnnta fjinus not grown peoplo llko himself, Oretchen felt her way to this mantel nud leanod the big blnck stocking against its side. She turned nnd ran linck nud cilmlxid Into her bod nnd then sho drew a long, long breath, which contained nil the breaths which she had been nf raid to draw be fore. The iiiouso was still; to tell tho truth, It was far more timid than Oretchen and hnd heard her llrst nolselesi footfall niul was crouched quivering In tho bureau drawer, Im agining the worst. Inn few moment Orotch eu wns asleep ami tho ray of the street lamp fell across her little quiet hand. As Oretchen wns not used to what largo, educated peoplo call midnight vigils, she slept on ChrUtmns morning later than any other child In the great city, nud when her father, who hnd risen before she had awakened, just ed the Chrittmas mniitel, he discovered tho big, black stocking where sho hnd left it. As he hnd filled nntl arranged tho other stockings the night before this ono seemed so strnugo to him that he examined It. Tho very llrst thing ho found was n letter: Dear Santa Clausi This Is tsllttlo Oretchen. Last Criming nnd Crlsmns before you liav gtv ven mo so nieny things and I linv nover slv ven you cnythliiK. Take theio dollies niul block and plclier books for your little Rlrt I like them but you enn havo them you nro tho nicest man In tho world I want to give you a kiss sum time did you get down the calmly alright how are your rata dears good by with mery Crlsmns nntl happy New Y enr rrom your dear little Qretolien Pleaso exkews mlstalks can you spot from lltel Oretchen love to nl. Little Oretchen's father took tho big black stocking with all tho toys which it contained and hltl it whero Oretchen will nover tlnd It. Tbo letter he will always save and I hope that he will read It often. When she nwoko and ran to tho Christmas mantel In her flannel night dret ho wns there to watch, nnd when he saw that tho flrt glance of her dear brown eyes was for a big black stocking which had disappeared he put hU arms around her and bugged her very tight and snld "Merry Christmas, little Oretchen I" so eameatly that she fancied ho was sad. Sho put her fnco close to hU and stroked his cheek with her hand and then her mother came, and nil together they had n merry morning with the gifts which Santa Clnus had brought. Dut Oretch en said never n word about the big black stocking; thnt was n secret between her nnd Santa Claus, which I trust you will keep for ever Fvtd Xye in Omaha H'orW. Dr, C. 11.

The Now Hall Drosses That Will Ho Worn Till Bonaon Tho Womnn Who Knot How to Attire Herself ftererkl Perfectly IlnvUhliig I Aire of Ilonneta. Speclsl Correspondence. New Yokk, Doc. 10. I recently stood beforo n window full of tho now ball dresses which will bo worn this season. There wns n black tttllo nil covered with golden lmlf moons; n bluo Knuxo with silver stAru sprinkled nil over It, llko thoso ono sees In n frosty sky; n pink ono which held nlso just n suspicion of n pttrplo linzo In It, nntl nil through its meshes glentneU smnll crescent moons surrounded by tiny stnrs. Thero nro two styles of Iwill dresses only for young ladles this winter. Ono Is tho very light gauzy woolens In tho most tlt'llcntxj col ors, such us nnhes of lllnc, jwlo pink, strmv nnd canary, bluo nnd green, ex actly tho color of tho Inside of n penpod. THE IDEAL aOWN. After tho light woolen materials, such ns clnlretto, nun's veiling, coshtucro so sheer that It looks llko crepe, coino tho thin goods in silk tissue nnd tulle. Tulle Is the prettiest nnd bus tho most delicate eiTect, but it seems that utmost n brenth tears it. While the silk tissue is qulto tough nnd can bo worn several times, tho tulle dress seldom lasts for two occasions. I Baw ono beautiful gown made of white tulle, with tlireo rows of narrow silver braid urouiul .the bottom abovo tbo hem, nntl along tho edgoof the shawl front drapery, nnd down tho sides of the full gathered back drapery. It also bothered the neck nud outlined the llguro by being bowii down tho dnrtannd scams. Tho sash that was worn with this was of whito silk brocaded in fiilvcr, nnd with a deep fringe of white silk nnd silver knotted in n fanciful design. A Greek silver fillet was worn in tho hair with this gown, nnd silver bangle bracelets nnd n silver llligreo necklace. I should say that this silver braid, us mndo now, is us pretty nnd delicate as llligreo work. A companion gown for n sister to wear might lx of scarlet nud gold or black nnd gold, all of tho acces sories being arranged to carry out the prevailing contrast. Yesterday I saw n lady, mother of n boy of 10, and I stood measuring her from bead to foot, my oyes following each lino and outliuo with perfect satis faction, and I nrn hard to pleaso. Her chest was full and spring, her shoulders melted into faultless nrms and waist, and, in fact, there was not tho suspicion of an inharmonious lino in her whole body. Her dress was just what she should wear, a slmplo gray, I think, prlnccsso shaie, walking length, neatly but not lavishly trimmed, and thowholo effect was jiorfect. And why? Because this woman knows herself; because sho does not bollttlo herself by adopting everybody's ideas us to dress. Sho dresses in tho manner most suitable and becom ing to herself, and In her simple gown was a far more pleasing picture and bet ter dressed than hundreds of other wo men whoso dresses cost ten times tho sum her's cost. I guess I might odd that this woman's natno is Eliza Archanl Conner, and many others will agree with mo. OTHER TEnrECTLY RAV1SU1NQ LOVES. Another dainty dresser called on mo this week. I cannot remember what sho wore, only it was a part and parcel of herself, excepting her hat, and it struck mo as being tho prettiest bat I havo seen. It had a low crown, with a turned up rim, and coming out to a point in front It ws of dark felt, and had ribbon bows on tho front of tho crown aud two rich plumes, which fell over tho left side of tho rim, down nearly to her temples, Tho wearer was Mrs. Eliza Putnam Heaton, who has dono so much journalistic work helpful to womankind. As booh as I can find n hat just liko that I am going to show it to my kind read ers. In default of that, this week, I will show thorn somo other perfectly ravish ing loves. Olive IUiu'EB. '" " '' ' ll'll'IIWII Ip'i ? I i"''iiuJrJMW)sWsWT THE TREATMENT OF LINES. Rooms Ton High Should He Trontetl IIoH tnntnllyi Too Low, Vertically. It mny bo snld, to tho honor nud glory ot our younger architects especially, says Tbo Art Amateur, thnt when thoy Introduce color In tho Interior fitting of n house, they almost nlways produco n tolorablo rosult, sometime oven n very ngroenblo one. This thoy do by nttontlon to common-sense rules, by lonnlng to harmony of gradation rather than of contrast, utilizing tho natural colors ot materials whorovcr possible, preferring worm but broken tones of medium Intensity, nnd distributing theso In broad masses, trust ing to tho furnlturo nnd movable decora tions to glvo sulllclont variety, nud, Indeed, thoy usually glvo too much. Hut this sensi ble moderation, tills predilection for nn har monious nntl slmplo treatment, Is not to bo looked for, ns a rulo, In their disposition of lines. Wo lmvo nothing to say against tho plct urcsquo in architecture when it arises natur ally from tho circumstances of tho case, or In courso of time. It mny bo well worth bear ing thi discomfort and luconvcnlenco with which they nro almost certain to bo nccom pnulcd, to havo n striking sky lino, n Alio of- MllFaE llOUIZONTAt, TnEATJIKNT OF MNE8, TO GIVE TIIK EKKKCT OK LOWEUINO A TOO IlIOU CKM.INO. feet of shatlow, or n lot of roinantlo associa tions. Hut somo of thoso things can hnrdly bo had to order, nud an attempt to imitate tho accidental plcturcsqucucss of old country dwellings Is likely tf result hi anything but tho wished for etrect exteriorly, whllo In tho Interior, In addition to tho various sorts of discomfort which It entails, It has led to an entire disregard of proiortion and of tho ex pressiveness when properly mauaged of architectural lines. Tho owner of n modern cottngo, or oven of an oxtHMistvo residence, is as likely ns tho occupant of tho most ordinary houo to bo troubled about what to do with his 111 pro portioned nud badly arranged rooms. Some thing can generally bo done, though In the former enso n satisfactory euro Is often Im possible. Usually tho dlfllcultyU thnt tho room Is too high or too low, too long or too narrow, anil theso faults can easily bo rem edied when they nro not complicated by Irregular jogs nnd bays, by window nud door cnslngs of unequal height nnd similar unlookcd for results of tho modem architect's plan of working from tho out&ido in. In deal ing with the complications their victims must rely on their own Ingenuity; but tho greater olwtncles overcome, It may bo found liosslblo to reduce tho lesser, or, if not, to beur with them. A few typical examples will help us to uiulerstnud tho principles Involved. Tuko tho case very common In modern houses of n room being too high for Iti floor space. Tho obvious thing to do would bo to provldo It with both frlezo and dado, aud to make both of exceptional depth. But perhaps tho builder has already put In a dado ot tho same height as In other low studded rooms, nntl the chancex nro thnt he has mndo tlcors nnd windows so high thnt n deep frlezo Is impossible. Ho may ulso have nggravntod tho dllllculty by fixing over the mantel u tall mirror reaching to tho cornice; still, thero Is no need to despair. Tho prin ciple to uct uimn remains tho samo. It is to multiply nud accent tho horizontal lines, to hubduo and efface somo of tho perjiendlculur ones. Thus, If tho cornlco should contain a row ot tall palm fronds, In tho Empiro taste, ouo should abstain from picking them out with gold, or otherwise drawing attention to them; but the longitudinal moldings, in stead, should bo so distinguished. Tho narrow frieze may bo decoruted with oblong panels or may havo n ruuulng or nament whoso curves npproach tho hor izontal. Sofas and other oblong pieces of furnlturo may bo disposed whero they will tlo the most good, and tho current fashion of decorating jiortlcros nnd heavy window curtains with broad horizon tal bands may bo followed with advantage. Tho effect of tho tall mantel and mirror may bo neutralized in part by treating tho frame of tho latter dilfereutly from tho mantel it belt, regiltllug It, for exumplo, ami by cover ing tho moutel shelf with a deep lambrequin. Tho paper should bo of n diaper pattern. In tho oppostto case, all this should bo reversed. Tho figures ou tho wall paper should bo dis posed In vertical strlies; tho frlezo should be omitted or mado very narrow; uo horizontal bands should bo nllowod on tho curtnlus, which should hang hi straight folds; sofas VEnTICAL TnEATMKXT OP LI NIB, TO OIVK AP 1'AIIKNT I.NCUEASE OK IIIOIIT TO A 1100U. should glvo wny to chairs, and nny paneled article of furniture thnt may bo Introduced sboultl bo chosen for Its height and tho height of Its panels. Tho two nccompnnvlng Illustrations show ing tho Mine wnll differently treated, explain tho principle on which nil these suggestions nrobnMxl; but tho li.ucli pleosanter nppenr nnco ot tbo second should tench us that it is well that vertical Hue should dominate. Any too great Insistence on the horizontal Hues Is sure to glvo ai Impression ot u crush ing forco overhead.
