I.N cougrovs hut Monday, Representative Dorsey of this state introduced the largcftt bill tlint lias been presented to congrefs for many yenrs exivptlng, of course, appropria tion and tariir bills. It is entitled, "A bill to roviso, anu'iitl and consolidate the laws relat ing to the regulation of national currency se cured by United States IkiiuIs." It codifies the national banking laws, re-ennctlug nil of the present laws which it is telievcd are de sirable relating to the olllceof the comptroller of tho currency, It also provides a now feat mo which gives to the national banksclrculn tlou to the full par value of their tiomUdcpos ltvtl to secure circulation. They mo now given IK) iK'r cent. It rtsluces tho tax on thel circulation one half, which brings It down to one-lourth percent, every six months, In stead of oue-hnlf per cent. In tho last con gress a lilll was reorted allowing national banks circulation to tho full par value of the Iwnils deposited and tho measure was made a special ordei sovend times, but on each day when an effort was made to call it up it was crowded out by consideration of appropria tion bills. Mr. Dorsoy Intends to have this bill taken up ut such an early day that Its suc cess cannot be jeopardized by any other.

I hadn't given tho fiiHhlotis n thought for ono long blliwful week, unit roiiioIiow my Idena woro all drcflflod in furs, when passing our loading liouso lol tlio windows wcro full of spring and summer fabrics, nnd how pretty they nrol NKW Hl'HINO JACKKTH. Tlio pnto and dullcatu tints of last sum mor uro seen again, only paler, softer anil moro jH-rfect In lHauty than lieforo, If jKkwIhlu. Thoro uro stripes where tlio liluo mergefl into pink, liko tho first rosy rays of tho sun into tho dark blue of tho sky, and others where tho yellow of high noon on n scoruhing July day turns to a soft purplish gray as it ncars sunset, and all tho loveliest flowers of tlio fields, yes, and hot houses, too, are deprived of their colors to dock femiilo loveliness anow. Tho now cotton goods have a great deal of open work In tlio Htrlpes, ono stripo be ing in satin faced cotton, whilo tlio next Is open laco work. Many of tho lawns, neersuekers and ginghams Imvo stripes in tho delicato tints and a narrow ouo of double hemstitch In whlto between them, which given n very light nml delicato ef fect. JncketH are taking tho piaco of tho thick long wraps, but this is owing partly to tho pleasant weather, and if ono can judgo by signs tho tlirectoiro stylo has had its day, nnd will go tho way of all things. This will bo a pity, because wo don't ofton get hold of so valuablo an idea in fashions. It was picturesque nnd, witli certain modifica tions, becoming to tho majority. Up town thoro is a largo storo, and ono corner of this is made into a cttto littlo boudoir all hung around with ricli cur tains, and in this corner, seen from tho street, stand and sit several life sizo fig ures dressed in tlio most leuutiful gowns imaginable; und this littlo corner may bo said to set tho fiuihion for America. Ono lady sits in n gilded wicker chair dispensing tea to her friends. She has on n dress of whlto faillo, innilo with deep tabller drapery across tho front. At tho right side is a sash n quarter of a yvd wide, edged with Venetian point laco ton Inches deep. Tho waist lias u Spanish jacket tuado of tho samo laco over a corsage of faillo. Tho sleeves wero of tho luce. Tho buck of tho skirt was simply gathered very full. One of tho guests had on a superb, gold colored satin embroidered in silver on tho panels. There was a full but plain train. The front had a drapery of silk fish net over tlio satin of tlio san:o color. Tho wnist was embroidered and draped with fish' net lace. There were no sleeves, only round bands an inch deep. Another guest had apparently just come. Sho woro u dress of Mlvcr gray tricot, made up with satin of the same shade. The skirt of satin, over which fell very slightly draped tricot. Two deep double Ixix plaits formed tlio drapery in tho back. The corsage had a. long point in front and short postilions in tlio back. A pretty little cajieliiio of tho tricot witli three thicknesses wasovcr tho shoulders, and a felt hat to match was perched over tho pretty, if expressionless, face-. Bishop sleeves wero worn. Another daz zling beauty woro a superb trained dress of B.igo green faille, witli wide jwnels of magnificent brocade, tho ground work tho same in color, with very delicately shaded leaves and tendrils in soft browns nnd green. The pattern was very large. Tho front wns richly draped. Tho waist I was devoid of trimmings, excopt a uar- OOWNS ON WAX FiaUItBS. row baud and collar embroidered. This is for dinner or reception, and is one of thoso costumes that expert littlo ladies can mako up easily, as moro depends upon tho simplo richness of tlio design tlinu complication, nud the dainty gray tricot walking gown also is easy to reproduce, and, therefore. I give it, hop ing tlint success will crown the efforts of the dainty workers. Tho foundation for either of these is juat like any other gown, n well fitting lining, and the rest is perfectly feasible. Tho dlllerenco in the material and the made up gown is so great that 1 think it is a sin for any worn nu to buy a dress ready made or pay for making one when she knows how to sew herself.

Honco tlio complete arrangement ia here shown. A kitchen should bo planned with reference to three things: Tho prciaratlon of tlio food, tho care of utensils and tho caro of tho kitchen Itself. This Is all there la to Imj done In a kitchen Laundry work tuny Isj best donoelsowhero, say In tho basement under the kitchen. diaohau.

As to the preparation of tho food, thero Is the pastry tablo in tho pantry, ndjnceut to It shelves for utensils, at tho right the (lour bin nnd near It tho Ico chest. Over this Ico chest is a window through which tho Ice man has placed the Ico without complaint during a period of four years. Thero la a drain from tho under side of the Ico chest to the outside of the Mintry wall. Where a drain Is not provided for a refrigerator, tho only thing to do Is to place 11 pin under it. When the pau runs over it Is known to bo full. No one can carry n pan full of water without spilling It. Tills makes lalxir. The refrigerator drain saves lalwr. In this household tho meat Is prepared for tho range at the table at the left of tho kitchen sink. The vegetables are washed nt tho sink, nllowed to drain nt the drain board and uro placed In tholr proper recntnclea on tho tablo. The utensils sit i.i 1 shelves nliovo this tablo ready for uso, V 10 stove Is directly back of the table, so that till there Is to do Is to turn around to lie uenr It. Tho viow of tho side wall In tho kitchen shows that none of theso tables Is Inclosed. Tho sink and nil rost on legs in front, nnd nro secured to a cleat on tho wall. Thero is a splash board running full length of thu sink nud tables, bnck of which pass tho pipes. All tho wrsxlwork which covors tho plumbing is put together with screws, which can 1h read ily lemoved in caso of necessity. Thu" all of tho plumbing npparatua is nccosslblo. A force pump is shown on tho kitchen floor, with tho handle coming up through a slot Isj tneeu tho drain board nud tho kitchen table. This forco pump mny Iw used to pump water to either tho kitchen sink or tho attic. When the pump is not In uso tho handle may bo pushed buck out of the way. the bide or the ErrcnR.v. Hot nnd cold cistern water cocks nnd a self closing cold city water cock nro shown over tlio sink. On tho splash bourd nbovo are shown hooks for utensils. At tho left of the sink and over tho left hand tablo is a series of shelves, which may bo provided with doors lu front if desired. Pots mid kettles may bo placed on a shelf over tho collar w ny. Draw ers aro shown In loth tables. Tho pljie duct is of wood.with tho face secured with screws. It connects with the plumbing npparntus nbovo. There is an opening near tho top of this duct, through w hlch tho warm air from the kitchen may pass and keep the pipes warm in cold weather. Tho dishes are brought from tho dining room in a tray, which is placed near tho door which goes from tho dining room to tho pas sage. Tlio doors are snung on double swing hinges; that Is, they swing both ways. They come to a closed position as goon as 0110 lets goof them. Tho dishes nro carried from tho dining room, placed 011 tho tablo at tho left of the sink lu the kitchen. They aro washed at tho sink, allowed to drain on tho drain lioard, are wiped from the drain board and placed on a tray on tho right hand tablo. From thence tho tray is carried to tho china cup board. Tho movemont of tho dishes is in the right direction from tho loft hand tablo to the china closet. A dry box is shown over the range. It is a box about two feet and a hulf high, with shelves arranged on ono sldo of it. Thero nro inch nugcr holes lu tho bot tom, top and shelves of the box. Thus hot nir from tho rango passes up through it. On tho shelves may bo placed scrub brushes. At ono sldo of It may bo hung scrub rags, etc. Thero is a door nt the front of tho box; honco they aro out of sight and aro readily dried. Tho soap box Is constructed tho samo as tho dry lox, excepting there are 110 nuger holes lu tho top. It has a two Inch tin pliio con nection with tho flue. Tho soap is dried, nud the odor is carried into tho flue. Thero may bo a largo ventilating hood over tho range connected with tho Hue. All of tho woodwork of this kitchen Is as plain us potslblo nnd is of oak, 1 his makes it cosier to keep clean. L. II.
