"I heard a discussion between two men
nd three women in a drawing room the
Ihor afternoon which amused me , "
rites "Dob'1 for the Brooklyn Chron-
jlo. "Tho subject was women's dress ,
nd the gist of it was the old , old nrgu-
ncnt , whylnich constant chnhgcs wore

Irosses cut on ono pattern and made of

'ohemenco that the wholu reason was

On to wear the same garment more than
' .certain number of times , and so on and
0 on. And so wo wrangled on , the
.vomcn having the best of It in vohom-
inco nnd volubility , though I fear their
Aigic was a trlllo shaky. As to the
[ > eunty of women's dress , wo wore told
W one of our male critics that between
, ho fourteenth century and last year
there had been no single period when
women's ' costumes wore really graceful ;
1802 was. however , this authority de
clared , a remarkable exception.
"Dresses were rnally admirable , and
ho wns only mtrpribed that , having by
some wonderful piece of good luck ar
rived at so desirable an epoch in the his
tory of costume , wo could not bo content
to remain there , but must rush off at a
tangent into the hideous and ungainly
fashions of tho'30' . In this direction
\l \ found myself warmly supporting the
'speaker ' , for I have inveighed ever and
over again against the powers that had
determined to again introduce the garb
worn by our grandmothers in their
youthful days.
"Whether there really have been no
bc'autlfuL and artistic dresses between
the fourteenth nnd the hitter part of the
nineteenth centuries I really have not
pulllcient knowledge of the subject to
day , but IL. Bocms to mo a somewhat
Sweeping assertion. "
The question of whiskers or no
whiskers which is just now agitating
the minds of the striking waiters llnds a
parallel In the all-important topio of
caps for the waitress and upper house
maids in n private family.
It is fealty surprising the number of
girls who cannot bo coaxed into wearing
a cap. They regard it as a badge of
servitude and no matter how becoming
tho-said bit of muslin maybe they see no
"beauty in it and will leave a good situa
tion if the wearing of it is compulsory.
LIow many of us can toll of these long
tramps from one intelligence olllco to
another or the mornings spent at homo
in interviewing these who came in
imswor to our advertisement. In fancy
wo rehearse the round of questions , nnd
when wo think everything quite settled
up would come the question of "caps , "
'
nnd our treasure would assume a
haughty demeanor and refuse to enter
upon the duties awaiting her.
The writer remembers distinctly ono
so-called French maid who did not demur
at the time , but when she was at last
discharged got oven with her former
mistress by lolling her now employer
that the reason Mrs. E made her wear
a cap was because she did not wish
Charlie to HCO her lovely hair. It is
needless to explain that Charlie was
Mrs. E 's husband , and in this way the
urtful servant revenged herself for the
indlgniti that had been placed upon her.
In the positions that they occupy it
seems to us that the lack of whiskers
nnd the addition of caps arc really toilet
necessaries to waiter and waitress rather
than to bo considered the badges o (
their servitude. In both instances the
effect is cleanlv and neat , but it is the
phi story over again what we are com
manded to do wo at once feel an obstin
ate doslro to rofuLp to perform ,
mid until all the obstinacy in humor
nature iserni'Icated there will bo strikes
( jout oven less important matters thai
whiskers and caps.

white onatnol shelves. They were fitted
Into a corner of the owner's pot room.
From the top shelf hung a pale- blue

broidered in gilt thread was the quota
tion :

The shelves contained only bookH plvdn

n llttlo book called "Daily Strength , "
bound in white and gold. "Dreamllfo"
and "llovorlm of u Uaoholor , " dressed

Some of the oldest needlework extant
was found in Egyptian and ISgypto-
Homan tombs a rough sort of tluxon
cloth , llko the bath toweling of our own
day ; It has loops of wool , worked with
Homo kind of needle , raised on ono side
of the stulT only , nnd n kind of tapestry
partly woven and partly outlined in
needlework. The mummies , which an
iusattablu modern ourloslty have dis
turbed , tire wrapped in linen , as loss
liable than woolen cloth to the ravages
of moth , nnd the art of weaving the ilax
that grow on the banks of the Nile was
probably learned by the Israelites during
their scjourn In Egypt. Ezeklol speaks
of "lino linen with broldcred work from
Egypt. " Linun seems the natural
ground and foundation of till embroidery ;
it often lasts longer than the work itself ;
can be cleaned and will not fray or wear
out as do more costly silks and satins.

How muny mothers , wo wonder , real-
i'/.o what an amount of pleasure and
health a child can derive from a woo
patch of ground that is all Its own in
which to plant a few seeds and carry on
the gardening until some old-fashioned
llowors bloom forth as the result of their
childish labor ? The brown earth bo-
eomon a source of never-ending delight
to them. The llrst green points arc
watched for with feverish impatience
and in the digging , watering and wait
ing they learn patience nnd endurance ,
besides gaining much from healthy con
tact with the soil. Uomember this , now
that the spring time Is at hand , present
the llttlo folks with iv garden , help
them In the selection of the seeds and
see if there was ever anything that pro
duced greater results from so small an
outlay.

It is now American babies who are
commending themselves to foreign eyes.
An Englishwoman visiting this country
writes homo for publication : "You
could not imagine anything more quain
tly delightful than American small
children and babies. They , up to 4 ,
wear the dearest little close caps of all
colors , -generally white the queer
est , prettiest clothes all just touching
the ground. It is easy to see whore
Kute Grcenaway cot her models for her
quaint pictures. They are exactly hero.
Then the baby carriages nothing approaching
preaching our clumsy perambulators.
They are all of either bent wood or good
wickerwork , yellowish white , . like
bamboo , and open work all around , on
perfect springs , and most of them rock
up and down when not being wheeled ,
and have fixed , largo parasols overhead
in all colors and pretty devices. Half
lying under this bright shade Is a round-
faced , pale , very pretty , piquant baby
with unusually dark eyes , with an ex
pression in them as if there was nothing
they didn't know ; a tiny white silk cap
on its tiny head ; rings secured to its
wrists by a ribbon on its fat fingers ; the
ci.tintiest white pillows , white fancy coverlets -
orlots ever its little body and an air of
cushions and cozincss about it. Such is
the American baby. "

In making up skirts of all sorts , except
these of rigid materials , it nnist not bo
forgotten that only a blai stay fabric
should bo Used. It is out of the question
to keep a skirt In perfect shape If the
scums are staid with tupos. In splto of
all care they will sag on cither side of
the tape , thus making the skirt into a
series of scallops. If worn cm a damp
day the tape shrinks and increases this
annoyance. Some of the most expensive
skirts have boon entirely remodeled after
0110 or two wear ings by following put the
mistaken and foolish notion of rigid tape-
stay pieces. _

When you see a woman going along

A great amount of ornamentation

It is n science in itself to pack the

The aroma of the strawberry is largely
lost in cooking , and it should be used
fresh wherever it is possible to do so. In
preserving It is essential to success to
can the fruit when luscious and fresh
from the bed and to use a variety of
berry that is of rich Havor-oTho Wies
baden preservers , who are more success
ful with strawberries than any one else ,
do not allow their berries to cook more
than a moment. They fill the cans with
fresh fruit and bet them in a largo ket
tle containing water just hot enough to
bear the hand. There should bo a
wooden rack in the bottom of the boiler
and cloth should be packed around the
jars to prevent their touching each
other. When they begin to boil the
German preservers watch them and as
soon as the berries rise to the mouth of
the jar they take thorn , out and cover
them with a rich , cold sirup. By this
means the plump appearance of the
berry as well as its flavor is preserved.

A STRAIGHT TIP !
ON STRAIGHT COLLARS.
Styles may come and styles may go , but the straight shape of collar , in Its
various modificationi , Is always in styla and always dressy. Many prefer it to
any other shape , and there is a large class of tasteful dressers with whom it will
be perennially popular. We illustrate below the correct thing under , both of our
leading brands , and in two widths. Try them.
