a privilege to have the opportunity e

born in tho. French revolution hav
transfigured the century whifih is no1

The favorite llijwor at weddings th
Benson , according ; to Harper's Bazar ,
the chrysanthemum. The altar lioh
largo vases and Japanese trees of whil
chrysanthemums among the famllit
palms , the bride ehooaos the same bio
fiom for her bouquet and the bride
maids carry pink or yellow chrysanth
mums. The groom and best man Inn
u largo blossom foraboulonniuro matcl
ing those in the brido's bouquet , whi
the ushers have an equally largo colon
chrysanthemum to correspond wil
thoqe carried by the bridesmaids. TI
"spray bouquet" is used for these larf
flowers , with some of the blossoms hnn
ing downward like pront tassels , and i
are tied with many long loops and en
of ribbpn two inches wide of a corr
hponding color.
At a recent wedding , when the bride
gown was nearly covered with inherit
lace and her bouquet was of whi
'chrysanthemums ' , the seven attonda
mnidims were .white satin Empi
gowns , the waist of natural long
given a short olliclt by a g'mllo of ma
bun'JB of bilvcr galleon , each resting
n fold of satin. The gowns were
prineosso breadths , cut down square
the nock , the skirt n very short round
doml-train edged merely with a narn
satin fold headed by silver. Full sh <
puffs served ns sleeves and gave grc
breadth , over which fell apnulotl
of nnpliqiio lace , very wide a
very full. The charmingly wav
hair hold directly in the back n uln
veil made of n breadth of tulle attach
by two lyro-shapcd ostrich tips , qu
nhort , and nlacod buck to back. T
long white gloves were of Suede , a
the white satin slippers had tthii
stone bucltlcs. Largo bouquets wore

were very long English frock coats

The folding beu is no doubt
thoughtless persons considered a ni
important invention , but It may bo qi
tloned whether it is not the most di
I aging of all modern appliances. It ' ,
[ inndo smaller rooms possible , in
r opinion of the Now York Lodgor.nndt
[ means loss air. less light and m
crowding , lint the folding hod is
established fact nnd evidently has cc
to stay. , Tills being the case , it mil
bo well to arrange it in thn enfost i
f' most economical fashion. The fold
bed sot into the wall is probably
! newest feature in this article of fui
turo. hut ns a rule the plan Is so fai
nnd the conditions fo unfavorable t
' nothing but objections can bo urgoc
thorn.

complicated boxing woodwork and up-

No bed that U kept tlfrhlly closnd into
a wiillbox nil dny is ( It for the sleeping
place of any human being , but the fold
ing bed , even in its very boit form , is
an evil , and although it is a necessary
ono'ovory precaution should bo taken to
mnku it as tolerable as po-tslblo.
To facilitate homo dressmaking , I am
going to tell you a little as to the quan
tity of slnlT needed for various articles
of attlro , says a writer In Cnsscll'n Mag-
aalno. Five yards of double width ma
terial will make nn ordinary dressing
gown. Five yards arc tincdcd for a pet
ticoat with two narrow frills nnd two
and a half of wide woolen stutT , if a foot
frill Is needed. A dozen yards of calico
must bo reckoned for half a dozen chem
ises , nnd nine yards for the bamo quan
tity of knickerbockers. I do nnt recom
mend the following plan , I simply toll
you that it is much adopted. Many
women wear no under linen save woolen
combinations , and ever these , in cola
weather , full llannol drawers and woven
woolen petticoat budlces. They reduce
the washing bill in this manner consid
erably , 'or ' with sovornl of the now
preparations woolens can bo cleansed
nt homo most spoedilv.
Dressing jackets tnlco two and a half
yards Six yards of serge , double width ,
are required for a winter dross : three
and a half yards of bilk are needed for a
satisfactory blouse. Some of the blouses
imported from Paris fasten invisibly at
the back beneath a small box plait ,
which allows the trimming of lace and.
biby ribbon to fall undisturbed. In the
front. Wide culls of lace giving u
dressy appearance , enhanced by gold
embroidered senorita jackets , are
to bo recommended bec-iuso they ii"o
notllkoly to go out of fashion , , aml the
untarnishahlo gold is so well worked it
can bo adapted to other decorative pur
poses when the original object Is of no
further use. The Empire style is the
prevailing ono forovoningdress scanty
hkirts and extremely short waists. It
will have its following , but will bo worn
by some and ignored by others , for it is
trying and requires the best of good
dressmaking. *
Mrs. Ella Noilsor. Galllnrd was in her
youth a belle of the aristocratic eastern
shores of Maryland , but later distin
guished herself as an inventor. One of
her first inventions was the amusing
automatic toy sold on the streets as the
"Irrepressible Conflict , " biing the fig
ures of an Irishman and an' African en
gaged in n Ilerco light. She also in
vented the eyeless needle , which is al
most universally used by surgeons , and ,
is useful to many other people. An
other and more ambitious olTort resulted
in the musical top , which plays a full
tune while spinning in the ordinary
wav. From none of these inventions-
did Mrs. Giiillard reap a return worthy
of the name. She was not discouraged ,
however , and has boon busy pcrfoctinn
other inventions. Among her recent
patents are a folding basin for travelers ,
a folding llatiron , a novel bird cage
chain and a musical fountain , whicl :
renders exquisite music while throwing
a stream of water from a buauti
till statuette with such precisior
that not a drop escapes t (
spoil the carpet. Her most importan
and valuable inventions are sure to wit
the blesci-i of her own box and also o
the mules. They tire n dross shield nm
si "sweat blind" for lints ( both fa
superior to anything now known ) , and i
carriage lolophone. Mrs. Gaillnrd hn
also invented a lock and key and n inu
sical paper wolcrht. The lock and ko ;
invention enables any ono by aim pi ;
looking at the key to determine whetho
the door is n.ifoly locked or "not , th
locking being registered on the key
The musical paper weight has a calendar
dar attachment , nnd is in the form of
stem-winding watch , The face of th
weight indicates the day , month an
your.
In person Miss Glnustono. daughto
of Knglnnd's premier , is tall and ritho
ungraceful , a defect which is intcnsille
by her "carelessness in the matter c
dross ; hut one forgets the want of grac
in the ehiirin of her face , which , withon
hoinsr really Irind-oine , fascinates by it
oai nest expression , says a writer in th
Ladles'Homo Jon nal. She wears he
' 3 hair brushed from her face in rathe
3o 3d severe stvlo , and coiled in a knot at th
o back of her head. Her fprohoad Is lov
"
it but well shaped ; her "mouth r.ithc
' 0h lurgo , with full , expressive lips. Mis
0y Gladstone Is of n very retiring nnturi
y having a great dislike to publiclt
ni of any" tort , ana is by n
nin menus the "strongmiuded" womn
n whom ono would expect t
idw find at the head of a college. Althoug
w her views on most subjects are o :
rt tromely strong , this fact only serves I
it intensify her individuality without di
ia traeting from her sweet and womanl
id nature. Many ot the qualities whic
sd have endeared the "grand old man" 1

Mr. Gladstone is a great belief in tl

It t < made of u little bit of a shoulder capo , a

doesn't cover them. This capo , usually made
ol blacU velvet , is trimmed with white
Mongolian fur. From the capo rises the
highest rolling collar you ever saw ; also in
black velvet , and also trimmed with white
far. Then two long bands of velvet , about
four inches wide , are fastened to the collar
in front and full loosely therefrom to the
uround. First , however , the velvet Is
turned ever at the top several Inches , before -
fore it Is gathered to thn collar , so that it
forms a little jabot. The outsldo edzos. the
bottom and the top edge , which falls ever ,
are all trimmed with fur. Five little tails
