Ladies' Heral Cabinet Plant your tree in a small wash-tub, filled in with brickbats or a hed of bard coal or anything tbat i: heavy and will keep it in place, and cover ever the tub with a gayly-stirr jd afghan or a fur robs or a Hay, arid upon this base many of the larger ai tides, such as books, desks, etc., can be arranged. The childicn can rnanu factuic many beautiful decorations for the Christmas tree, in which they will take quite as much plcasuic as if they were liem the fancy shops. With a few sheets of silt, blue, scat let ami silver paper cut into tiny snips lour luetics m lengtii ami half an inch in width, you can make long chains te entwine from bough te bough of the tite. With a bottle of mucilage paste the two cuds of the ships together until half of them aic made into rings ; then make some mere by slipping one end thieiigh two lings and joining them to gether. Let the thicc lings become dry and join them into long garlands. Sus pend around the outer branches of the tree fiem top te bottom. Twenty yards will be needed te trim a large tree, twelve for a small one. If j en possess a broken looking-glass cany it te a glazier ami have it cut into bits thiec inches by two. Paste a bit of biewn paper ever the back of the glass and bind the edges with ships of scarlet and blue papers and paste a bit of ribbeu or paper at the top te suspend them from the boughs. Yeu cannot have tee many tiny Illinois. Little lace bags made of bebbinct lace or wash-illusion, by miming them to gether with scarlet, blue and geld coleicd worsteds aud using a bit et it for a string te draw thorn together, uie also very pietty aud dcsiiable when filled with nuts, raisins aud sugar-plums for the chil dren. Umbrellas. lile.UV. and Shoes. Umbicllas arc in diileicnt colors such as led, blue, daik giccn, seal color, &c. The ease is the color of the umbiclla. The handles have geld and a vaiiety of fancy tops. The colors of these umbicllas must teaeeitain extent, correspond with the di ess, and when of blight led must be eanicd only with sembie toilets. Muifs aic ver small and shirred en ether side with a pocket te contain the card-case, handkei chief, and pocket boek: thus they lepiacethe small "chatelaine." They are of plush in the color of the diess. Seal skin mull's are canied with cloth suits. On the beideis of the. ? small mull's aic dou ble lows et Valenciennes la'cs, Shee:, and slippcis asc hhnmed in most fanciful ways. Fer evening wear shoes have bands across, cevcicd with shell shaped lace, aud in the centre silver or mother-of-pear buckles. They arc of satin matching the color of the dress. It is likely that high satin gaitcis will be worn for dancing. Fer walking puipescs dou ble soled kid button gaiters arc worn, and for dinucrs and thcatic use shoes are of black or leddish brown dressed kid. Gait cis aic eiy fashionable. With the picsent i.uju for everything masculine in the way efllie- , lidics aic rr.t entcnt with gait eis with cloth top.-, but must have real gaiteis buttoning en the outside of the leg with a strap under the shoe. There is one d:-adanlagc connected with this fashion it makes the feet appear large. Theic are new, however, shoes with false gaitcis, with the strap under the beet lastcned en the side by a buckle, and these de net enlarge the feet. lWSIilONS IN lOYS. Wliat te Ittiy tlie Children. Furnishing for dells' houses is carried te per fectien this winter, and includes cabi nets, piano-:, and jardrniercs iu the draw ing looms, library sets that aie cevcicd with leather, whitcwoed chamber sets up holstered with pale blue silk, dining room sets, with buffet and extension table, and cveiy article of kitchen furniture. Ham mocks, statuettes, busts mounted err ped estals, transpaient pictures for the tiny windows, mantels with mirrors set in them, gilded clocks, vases, lamps and pho tograph albums arc among the irew arti cles el luxury, and a lady dell iu full even intr toilette et the picsent day, or else a pewdcicd Fiench marquise, is chosen te picsidc in the tiny mansion. Among the walking toys is a cock that crews as it walks, an elephant that moves slowly, ami an ape that clambers along most ungracefully ; the musical ape and a most natuial looking cat arc new this scasetr ; a pug walks around, a pig jumps out of a box, aud an egg is put in at the top of a box and a chicken comes out below. There arc new musical rattles dressed as harlequins, with a music box in side. Tambour rues, lutes, mandolins and all the musical instruments used by the (esthetes in " Patience " arc. copied in toys, and some aic dcceiatcd wrth paintings and gay ribbons. "New alphabet blocks have the letteis painted en squares of different sizes that are piled up within another. The Brook Breok Broek lju Bridge arrd the Heuse that Jack Built aic new building blocks. The newest wagon is the great canopy-topped wagon of the praiiics, aud is labelled, Ge West. Xcw bauks for savings represent all kinds of animals with open mouths for catching pennies, aud ample bodies for holding them. Weeden animals,, well cat ved aud without paint, are in boxes for small chil dicn, while for larger ones are boxes of skin colored animals. "Menageries, stables, sheep, cats, dogs, show geuuinc skins and finely shaped creatures. New targets have four biuls aud a bull's eye that can be knocked out when stiuck ; a cannon or arirlc is sold with these. New tops work by electricity, and the colors change as you touch thcr.i while they sp'ii. Tele phones, telescopes, punting presses, tool boxes with a scroll-saw added te them, Aibbcr balls, drums, trumpets, sleighs with Teal white Angela robes, bicycles and leaping hones arc the attractive things for boys. New styles in Dul!s. Harper's Baxar describes the eating dell, which, it says, is the novelty with which girls aie delighted this year. A bit of candy is put iu her open mouth, disap pears and comes out ac the sole of her feet. Anether new dell has music within her self, se that when wound she raises her hands aud seems te sing. A third novelty, mere valued for its durability than beauty, has the dell head cut from a solid piece of weed, and this wooden head can be banged about without breaking. The head moves, and the body, which is also of weed, is painted as the fine French dells are, and some of these wooden dells say "Mamma" and "Papa." The well-known indestructible heads, with short hair of sheep's wool that will wash and comb, are made with prettier faces than when first introduced. Brown-eyed dells are in great favor this season, """especially among the bisque dells, that were former ly all blue-eyed. The tiny dell entirely of bisque, with natural long bleude hair, eyes open and close, and jointed limbs, is a favorite with little girls who de net think size anything. Mothers who want te teach their children correct ideas select each part of the dell with care, and have each article of clothing well made, se that it can be taken off and put en. First, the dell's head is selected. This may be of the composition said te be indestructible, and with short blonde curly hair of wool that is easily cleansed, according te size, or else it may be of French bisque, with eyes that are fixed or with movable eyes, and hair of wool, but most natural-looking. Among the mere expensive heads aie these with Titian red hair and brown eyes, or else golden yellow hair with a bang en the forehead and flowing behind. The wax heads arc most varied of all and most natural-looking, but most perish able. They ate shown as infants with bald heads or a scant bang, te wear caps ; as sheit-haiicd boys, with Charles II. flowing locks ; aud as ladies with elaborate coiffures. The body is then chosen of cither muslin or kid, aud must be made uu without wires, and stuffed with cotton te make it light, in stead of the heay sawdust that sifts through the cover. They can also be bought with the crying arrangement in side. Mether Hubbard dells arc faer't:s this season, and as this consists in diessing them in a shirred cloak of cashmere or satin, with a peke bonnet or steeple crowned hat of the same, they are easily gotten up at home. The imported dells come elaborately arrayed in plush and satin costumes, but tasteful little girls prefer instead a dell dressed in the first sheit clothes with white musliu yeke dresses, skirts and petticoats that may be taken oil' and put en, and ever this a Mether Hubbard cloak, with hat te match. Evci y article of clothing may be bought sepa rately for the dell, including rubber over shoes aud hair pins, aud theic are boxes with three or fourdiffercutsctsef clothing for the dell inmate. Infant dells in long clothes aic accompanied by a furnished basket, and are completely diessed in white muslin, with a sash, aud a cloak of white cashmeie with double care and quilted silk border. A colored nurse or a French benne with a cap can also be sup plied. m Dan Rice. The Slranse Story of tlic Life of tlie Ve teran. Cei rcspeiulcnce et the Chicago Tribune. ''Haven't you something of interest te relate about your own circus life and the show business in general ?" J inquired of Dan Itice, new sojourning at Wheeling, W. Va. " The story of my life is a stiange one. a very strange one. Forty years age I first entered the rimr, and since then pro bably tweuty circuses have existed under my name. Fer nitre years I received a salary of $1,000 per week, aud I knew all the men who have gained distinction in the ring. I have been worth $900,000 aud I have given away as much. Forepaugh, Nathan, Cooper, Bailey & Ce., E. It. Spaulding, Avery Smith, and ether well krrewn managers, have traveled un der my name, arrd W. C. Coup, who has new the best circus in the United States, was once a side showman with me, aud is a very likely and liberal gentleman for all that. The jokes of old Dan have been heard in almost every city and town iu the entire land. I have put up tents throughout the entire West which would no mere held the people who Hocked te my show than this loom would held the crowd who throng weekly thu church of a Becchcr or a Talmagc. There arc new four circuses traveling under my name one in Texas, one iu Arkansas, one en the Mississippi arrd erreiu Austra lia, cast in the spring, north aird north west in the summer and south in the fall is the elder of ciicus geiniug. But my mind wonders te night. Old Dan is' net himself any mere. A circus clown is net a very elevated character irr the eyes of the world, but with all his failings a circus clown has a heart, and doesn't the Bible say, 'Judge net that ye may net be indu ed?"' And se the old man talked for a collide of hours and mere. He told of his divorce case, of his intention te lectuic 100 nights at $100 a night, arrd as he new aud then recalled the scenes of his former days arr expression of sadness would pass ever his aged face ; for whisky and time are fast doing their Werk for old Dan.
