¥or and About Women.
"Miss Grace Thomas isengaged in the
Teal estate business in Washington, and
the beginning and developement of one
of the popular suburbs are said to be
due to her energy and skill. She is the
only woman in the business there, and
possibly anywhere else,
A half dozen veils in a dainty box
make a beautiful and useful gift for a
Young girl.
Monsieur Felix the great French ar-
tist, being asked what he thought of the
present style of sleeves, replied that he
considered them pre-eminently becom-
ing. ¢“Itisa mistake,” he said, “to
think that they only suit certain figures,
for they give breadth to those who need
widening, whereas nothing is more use-
ful to dissimulate stoutness. Then,
what an improvement they are to the
figure. A medium-sized waist looks ab-
solutely thin in a dress finished with
voluminous sleeves.”
“Cunning” little penwipers are made
of parti-colored felt. Pieces of dull
yellow ar cut to represent face, hands
and feet. These are marked with ink
and attacked to several layers that imi-
tate the smock of a Chinaman. There
need be no attempt to show the cue, and
yet the whole effect is simple and clever.
The two daughters of Mr. John D.
Rockefeller will each inherit about $20,-
000,000. They are probably the weaith-
iest heiresses in the United States.
In Paris now, women are wearing
gowns of black wool satin, made very
plain. The skirt is gored and finished
with seven to nine rows of colored
stitching, and the waist has the collar,
belt and revers of velvet of the same
color as that of the stitching. The lat-
ter makes the material of the gown look
like bordered goods, and the effect is
novel and altogether charming.
In lieu of the hair cloth facing many
drcssmakers run several rows of feather-
bone, an exceedingly pliable material,
in the facings of the skirts ; it is lighter
less expensive and more manageable
than hair cloth, will not bregsk or wear
and is not injured by dampress.
Overskirts with very deep points, |
leaves or saw teeth are placed on dressy
carriage or afternoon costumes.
A novelty in the way of bodices is to
have the main portion of velvet with
the sleeves of cloth, instead of the re-
verse as has been the custom so long.
Silk and velvet combined in this fash-
ion prove very serviceable, as the silk
sleeves will without difficulty go into
those of on outside jacket, while those of
velvet stick and cling, making it almost
impossible to wear any wrap other than
a cape.
The flrst woman who gave money to
Harvard College could not have fancied
in her most imaginative moment that
more than 250 years later her girlhcod’s
name would be given toa college for
women at Harvard. Aone Radcliffe,
who was afterwards Dame Moulson,
sent her hundred pounds over seas from
Eongland to aid the cause of education.
She cast her bread upon the waters, and
it is returned to her memory in honor
after all these many days, Mrs. Agas-
siz, the President of the Harvard An-
nex, is congratulated on this most
charming and suggestive choice of
names.
There 1s positively an epidemic of
moire antique raging in London. You
may have it in black—in fact, you
should, I think—yon may have it in
mother-of-pearl tints, in combination of
blue and green, and brown and helio-
trope, but bave 1t you must, if you
would be 1n the fashion.
I have seen wonders worked in old
clothes—not in really old cloth, but in
clothes of yesteryear--by the addition of
moire sleeves in black, or by a short
sleeveless Eton coat of this, which will
bestow upon an ancient costume of
cloth a distinct touch of smartness.
I know .a mantle of brown cloth,
elaborately braided, which opens over a
waistcoat of black astrakhan, that has
been brought absolutely up to date
through the means of a pair of black
moire antique sleeves, of the shirt de-
scription ot sleeve, gathered into a one-
and-a-half-inch-wide band of the astra-
khan.
Beautiful evening dresses are being
made of black moire antique, with plain
skirts, bodices profusely decked with
pale yellow lace of the thick description
caught here and there with a choux of
looking-glass velvet,
Forlooking glass velvet, let me tell you,
a is also prominent feature of fashion;
it plays its part on nearly every costume
the dullest and darkest of cloth dresses
are enlivened by a collar band, a belt
and a pair of cuffs of looking-glass vel-
vet—this in some brignt tint such as
petunia or violet.
Among novelties in needlework which
take the place of the familiar dotted
daisy work are designs stampede with
five-rayed stars. By a few skilful
stitches these stars are converted into
miniature ivy leaves, which dot the
cloth. A white linen tea cover scatter-
ed with these leaves and finished with a
four-inch hemstitched border in pale
green is exceedingly effective. So also
are the bluet patterns where the cloth is
scattered with palest blue cornflowers,
mere dreamlike suggestions of the Ger-
man flower, and then bordered with a
four-inch border of pale blue linen. This
border may be put on the cioth with a
heavy insertion of linen lace or simply
with stitches resembling drawn work.
There is hardly any limit to the variet,
of stitches used by the modern embroid-
erer. Hven the old cross stitch, beloved
by our grandmothers, over which they
pared patient hours and lost their sight,
as been revived; but. the revival can
hardly be called a successful one.
The Christmas Spirit,
The lesson taught us this day in this
year when there is so much suf-
i fering in is that the Christmas
i mas spirit which is love for the Child-
: Christ, obliges us to love and care more
than ever for them of whom He freely
made himself one—the poor. What we
do for them we do for Him. for He says :
“As long as vou did it to one of these
my least brethren, you did it to Me.”
Did what? “I was hungry and you
gave Me to eat; and I was thirsty and
you gave Me drink; naked and you
clothed Me,” ete.
Yet how many are there among you
readers this Christmas morning who
have sacrificed a single pleasure to this
duty of almsgiving? How many men
have smoked a cigar less or drank a
bottle of wine less in order more than
usually to assist the poor? How many
ladies have deprived themselves even of
a new pair of gloves, or have given a
ball or reception the less to be more able
to assist the starving and sick poor.
Some are doing much—perhaps more
than they can afford—but how many
have done nothing? «I forgot,” they
say. Yes, but is not such thoughtless-
ness very selfish? Let them remember
the wordsof “The way, the truth and the
life,” “Amen, I say to you, as long as
you did it not to one of these least ones,
you did it not to Me.”
‘Whipped Into Morality.
Kentucky White Caps Ridding Their Communi-
ties of Vice With Hickory.
HArrODEBURG, Ky., Dec. 16.—Sixty
masked mounted men called out Merrill
Preston and Charles Harlow at Rose
Hill last night, and beat both young
men with hickory switches. The White
Caps then rode away, warning their
victims to mend their ways.
Frank Anderson, the village black-
smith, was next visted by the band and
admonished to stop gambling or he
would receive another call.
La GrirpE AGAIN.—The re-appear-
ance of the ‘Grip’ calls to mind the ex-
perience of Jas, O. Jones, publisher of
the Leader, Mexia, Texas. He was
sick in bed for ten days with the grip
during its prevalence a year or two ago.
Later in the season he had a second at-
tack. He says: In the latter case I
used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and
with considerable success, I think, only
being in bed a little over two days. The
second attack, I am satisfied, would have
been equally as bad as the first, but for
the use of this remedy.” It should be
borne in mind that the grip is much the
same as a very severe cold and requires
precisely the same treatment. When
you wish to cure a cold quickly and ef-
fectually give this remedy a trial. 25

Kingly Salaries.
Although King Humbert thinks of
abdicating it cannot be because of a
poor salary list. His civil list or salary
is the largest of all those paid by Euro-
pean nations to their respective sover-
eigns. Humbert’s civil list is fixed an-
nually at 14,500,000 francs, nearly $3,-
000,000. The European sovereigns who
receive the highest pay below that of
Humbert are Emperor William of Ger-
many, with a civil list of 12,000,000
francs and Queen Victoria, with about
9,090,000.

CASTORIA.
“Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil-
dren. Mothers have Tepentedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.”
Dk. G. C. Osaoop,
Lowell, Mass.
“Castoria 1s the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in-
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them fo premature graves.”
Dg. J. F. KINCHELOE,

Rv AS PIECE MEAT.
SIX MONTHS UNDER THREE DOCTORS
NO BENEFIT. COMPLETELY CURED
IN 3 MONTHS BY CUTICURA.
Cuticura has been a blessing to me. My ba-
by was about four weeks old, when she first
got kezema. It was on her head and all over
her body, which was raw as a piece of meat. I 1
doctored for six months with three doctors
here, and she still kept getting worse. A lady
friend of mine advised me to get Cuticura Rem-
edies. They proved to be just as good as you
recommended. Baby was six months old
when I began to use Cuticura Remedies, and in
three vonths’ time she was cured. She is fif-
teen months old now, and is well and hearty.
I am very thankful.

There is more remedial power to one of your
cakes ot Cuticura Soap than there is to some of
the three-dollar treatments of these dermatol-

can cure others if they use it right and accord-
