classification and eludes description. It
Is u most daringly eccentric combina
tion of colors , conglomeration of ma
terials , identical with no definite period
nnd conforming to no general type. One
' of its must hysterical v.agarios ia the
trimmed shiny sailor. Tlio only
raihon d'etre this stiff , ungainly black
bailer over had was Us utility In rainy
weather , but now the crown is bound
about with a broad band of purple vel
vet , and the silk is nuiartuncd with a
liandfnl of violets. It booms as incon
gruous as trimming a mackintosh with
feathers or putting rosettes on ono's
overshoes.
Lace , covering the waving brims that
have proved so becoming that they are
not to bo relinquished , rivals the fancy
Btraws. The lace has an edge and is not
no full that tlio beautv of its design may
not lw appreciated. Trimming of fluted
lace in fan shapes is one of the most pop
ular adornments. The lace spreads out
Its wings like a newly alighted buttor-
lly.with a body of flowers or gems. For
in the center is a knot of violets , a rose
or a glittering buckle. Its companion
is of fluted tulle sewed with pearl beads.
A butterfly bow of tulle is placed in
front with Mereurylllce wings of
yellow ribbon behind , and piercing Its
center a stickpin surmounted by a globe
of pearls.
Th ' UM > ol ribbons is very much like
that of flowers. Every twist , every fold
has character. In a little placquo ,
that rests on the head like an in
verted dancer , two loops rise from a flat
bow out of a bed of green leaves. There
lire flowers lying low , as they grow , for-
Kot-me-nots , but it is the upstanding
bows of ribbon that have the elTeet of
tho'brlght-huod flowers. To the flowers ,
ribbons and lace must bo added jewels
and gold. Sometimes the crowns are of
gold cord or gold cloth. Tlio prettiest
elTccts are in the sequins and iridescent
spangles. In ono little bonnet the
lace fans are edged with gold and
glitter with spangles. From out tills
rise tall spikes of mignonette.
Bonnets are scarcely more pretenses
jftir head covering than combs nnd tiaras.
A little band of jot fitting close , another
nnmllor circle , no larger than a jam pot ,
servos for crown. The rest is a flower , a
line spun aigrette , a bit of lace pinned
with jewels of green , blue and gold , and
velvet strings. Again , a bonnet looks
llko a miniature peak of jot , in whoso
black and shiny sides tremulous flowers
Imvo caught root. Jot assumes all sorts
of freaks , the mostcurious , that of a sort
* ot chovaux do frlso , coming to a point in
front with a rose tucked under to show
that it is harmless.

Miss Mary Redmond , whoso colossal
statute to Father Matliew has just boon
unveiled in Dublin , may claim the dis
tinction of being tlio youngest sculptor
who had received commissions for im
portant public monuments. She was not
out of her teens when her model was se
lected out of twenty-live designs sent infer
for the memorial of the late District Inspector
specter Martin , who was murdered in
Donegal.
Tlio officers of the Royal Irish con-
stabularly gave her the commission on
August 17 , 18S9 , and the completed mon
ument was erected the following year in
the hall of the officers' quarters in
Pho'nix park. It consists of a bust in
bronze , plaqod in a marble niche , the
ornate arch of which is adorned above
with garlands , while below it lie the in
spector's arms and accoutrements , sur
mounted by the armorial bearings of
constabulary.
In 1839 Miss Redmond modeled Mr.
Dwycr Gray and Mr. Gladstone , and her
next great commission was tlio present
monument to Father Mathow.

have sleeves of great sl/e , large , flaring

New sliver blue shades are more pop

A favorite material for the fashionable

For some of the nrttelos you can break the
egg at one end and simply pour out the con
tents nnd then wash out tlio shell carefully
with a little swab or brush , In two or three
waters , using a drop of household ammonia
In the last rinsing. Or you can boll the egg
and take out the contents with a clc.in spoon
very neatly.
Cut off the smaller ends of throe empty
shells. It Is a good way to trace with a lead
pencil the lines whore you wish to cut , and
then puncture thickly with a line needle ,
then with a penknife a rather dull ono is
said to bo best cut very slowly nnd care

Fasten the three shells together with

paint and also gild tlio rough rims , jou will
not have cause to feel ashamed of your
"egpslR'H china. "
Furnish each with a tiny wooden spoon ,
the thinner the better. If you can whittle
them out yourselves neatly , all the more
charming the caster will bo. The affair is
very easy to mako.
This quaint little kettle is intended for a
match safe. Under a half shell glue three
little pieces of whittled wood , or twigs , for
feet. See that they "stand even. "
Blacken the outside of the kettle with a
soft lead pencil , and make a handle or "ball"
from a fragment of line wire.
One of these baskets Is made of the "hell
cut upright , the other of the eggshell cut
longtiiwfse. It fs a nice piece of work to out
them with the handles. If that proves too
difficult gilt wire can be used.
In that case gild tlio edges of the basket.
The French children are such nice work
men that they can file down the rough edges
without breaking the shell. Of course , tno
tiny , grainllko bonbons are used to 1111 the
basket.
Anemones , crocuses and tulips can bo
made out of eggshells. Draw the outlines
ot any of these cup shaped spring flowers on
the shell. Then cut round In the lines that
shape tlio tops of the petals. Now tint and
shade and indicate the lapping of petals
with water colors.
Attach to the base of each with glue n
strong twig , to servo as a stem. When
thoroughly dry you can insert the stems iu
a glue dish packed with damp sand and
gravel , the surface covered with moss , and
then you have a pretty gift for tlio break

Just two or three in a tiny vase will bo a
welcome gift to any friend. If you like you
can make line wire stems for the flowers ;
they are quite perfect if wound with greener
or brown silk.
Weight your shell witlv'fino shot so that it
will remain steady lengthwise m the water.
Bend a good round wire.lute the form of a
swan's neck. Then wltlf moistened bread
crumbs , pressed llrmiy ubout the wire ,
fashion a neck and head.
Let this molded head dry solid. Then
glue it to the small end Of tlio shell. Color
the bill red and blacic , ajioj , indicate the eye
with black. To the other end of tlio shell
glue some feathers for a tall.
Color the body. 1 f yQ\l \ are fearful of soak-
intr the neck in water , yun can varnish It a

the swan's bill it can be < lrawn over the sur
face of the water by a magnet , so it is said.
nA funny Httlo torpedo boat may bo made
much in the same way "A4 the swan. The
shell is first f rcightcd wltl ] shot and the ends
are finished with jiieccBnf cardboard.
The smokestack Is the end of a lead pencil
inserted into the shall. , and the railing
around it Is formed of shyill pins.styclt Into a
ring of cardboard and then iwouud with a
thread.
The cardboard is then plueil to the upper
part of the shell. The port holes can bo cut
out or painted on thu shell.
Flue long , straight twurs. or bettor still ,
silvers of wood carved a little and shaped
like bamboo , then fastened together with
colored silk and DOWS ant } tassels , form the
supiiort of the dainty basket , which consists
ot an eggshell decorated at fancy and fur
nished with a bouquet of tiny natural or
artificial flowers. A few Hue shot will keep
the basket firm iu Its stand.
Rather complicated is tlio graceful Httlu
suspension lamp.
Tlio part containing the oil is the half of a
hen's egg sot in wire , so also is the shade
supported by bout wires.
The band at the top of the shade is made
by cutting a section from n very small egg
nnd gluing it on to fit. The tiny reflector at
the top Is made from u pigeon's egg.
The whole is put together with line copper
wire. Careful lingers can fashion the whole
series of loops and bands and curves. Use a
floating wick In oil or ono inserted In wax.
Through the tiny hole made in the largo end
of a shell Insert a few grains of glue and
load. Cautiously heat this over a stove and
when the glue is melted let it cool in the
smaller end.
This , of course , fastens the lead to the
smaller end and causes the egg to stand
always on its point.
Paint on ono side a crying face , on the
other a smiling ono. The little face is very
charming because of the rocking of the egg
in seeking its balance.
