n practical form, than the Parisian ideas
for children s apparel. I he more simply
a child nr nirl ts dressed until the age of
17 the more becoming it is. There is al
ways an ungraceful period for young
girls, and tilks. laces and ohiffoni are
unite out of place until a girl is about to
appear in society.
A pretty model for a girl of 14 to 1C
years of age is made with a basque
with full sleeves and high cuffs. The
cull's aud collar may be of velvet of the
same shade as the dress.
A wrap for a child of 0 is of electri
blue cloth, trimmed with fur, and for
another color dark red in the same form
is prettv. Cloth hats with feathers In
Lhe same color are very popular for chil
dren, and Scotch plaids, with beige color

Party frocks are made of pretty cre

Very picturesque and simple are the

or gathered. Two capes edged with

favorite mode of bodice trimming, and

of ready made rultles of black satin,
elaborat o gimps, jet insertions and fancy
collarettes, berthas, etc. Lace is still as
popular as ever, and a particularly pret
ty trimming is a ruching of black moire
edged with extremely narrow white gui
pure. A bizarre effect in a broad trim
urng laco is produced by bands of white
insertion on black net, or black inser
tion on white net. Thoso transparent
bands of insertion aro in high favor just
now and are used on the heaviest mate
rials, such as satin, bengaline and moire
untique.
One Way to Dry' Wet Shoes.
When, without overshoes, you have
been caught in a heavy rainstorm, per
haps you have known already what to
do with your best lad boots, which have
been thoroughly wet through, and which,
if left to dry in the ordinary way, will
be stiff, brittle and unlovely. If not,
you will be glad to learn what I heard
recently from one whose experience is of
value, writes a correspondent of Har
per's Bazar.
First wipe off gently with a soft cloth
all surface water and mud: then, while
still wet, rub well with kerosene oil,
using for the purpose the furred side of
canton tiannel. Set them aside till par
tially dry, when a second treatment with
oil is advisable. They may then be de
posited in a conveniently warn place,
where they will dry gradually and thor
oughly. Before applying French kid
dressing, give them a final rubbing with
the tiannel, still slightly dampened with
kerosene, and your lioots will be soft
and flexible as new kid and be very lit
tle affected by their bath in the rain.
Ln following these directions it need
hardly be added that, kerosene being in
flammable, one wants to keep away from
the lire while treating the shoes with it.
WORKBASKET TABLE.
A Convenience Ttiat Is as Serviceable as It
Is Frctty.
A uniquo workbasket, which can bo
readily transformed into a table, and
originally on exhibition at the Decorative
Art rooms ta New York, has recently
been described for The Household. It is
distance from each other. All of which
prompts the remark that the world
would be made more cheerful and sensi
ble if "mourning" garments were dis
carded altogether.
New Materials For Untuning.
There are many new materials that
can be used for mourning, such as bright
reversible satin, with satin on one side
and a cord on the other. All the large
patterned moires are useful, especially
when trimmed with jet, and the soufflet
mohairs, which are woven to resemble
bubbles, stand up in bold relief. Some
of the line rps have been brought out in
a new guise. But mourning, to bo in
good taste, cannot be too simple und de
void of ornament. Heavy crapes, which
aro expensive, are frequently tortured
into all kinds of shapes of plaitings and
rnchingl, which are decidedly in bad
taste.

made from a common camp stool, from
which the CftnvM for the seat has been
removed.
Into the opening thus formed was
shirred a capacious bat; or pocket, wires
being stretched across tha two-open ends
for holding the frame in place and serv
ing as a foundation for the ibftrihgfl of
the pocket the materials being figured
india silk in dull old rose shades, with a
lining of old rose satin.
The wooden framework is painted
white with enamel paint, and a square
board, painted in the same way, with
gilt lines for decoration, is made to set
over the pocket, resting on the frame
work, thus making a table of it and hid
ing from sight the work in the pocket,
It makes a handsome piece of furni
ture for a lady's use and is as service
able as it is pretty. Quick witted women
need hardly be told that this convenient
affair tatty be made less delicate and
therefore better adapted for the wear
and tear of the ordinary sitting room by
making the pocket of darker colored ma
terial aud painting or staining the
wooden framework B cherry or mahog
any hue. Indeed, ingenious women Will
doubtless add to and improve upon this
model, which is suggestive of a variety
of styles made on the same principle.
A Dressy Wrapper.
The modern tea gown is usually too
elaborate an affair for ordinary home
wear when the lady of the house attends
to many of the domestic affairs herself.
She likes, however, when the more ardu
ous duties are over, to have a comforta
ble and at the same time pretty gown
or wrapper at hand, which may be quick-

without all the accessories of a regular
dress. Such a wrapper may be made of
any of the attractive all wool fabrics
shown in the shops. Make.it with a fancy
drawn yoke front; and Watteuu back.
Hake it dressy by putting on a turn down
collar, cuffs, belt and shoulder caps of
velvet or silk. The result will be a trim,
neat house gown.

To Clean Marble.
It is a delusion to think that bad stains
on marble can lie effectually removed
without calling in some professional
hand, but there are a variety of recipes
which will help to lighten tho color of I six months
ltulcs For Mourning.
According to one of the authorities, the
period of mourning for a father-in-law is
a yearten months black, two months
half mourning. Crapo is seldom worn,
though tho crape period was formerly

not of long standing. For instance:

chalk and pumice stone, respectively,
with enough water to form a thickish
paste. Spread this well over ami beyond

This Is of the Utmost Importance to Both
Pupil and Teacher.
As regards the selection of pieces, !
teachers too often make the mistake of !
choosing those too difficult for their pn- j
pils. They forget that a simple melody
well played is preferable at all times to j
an ambitious piece whose difficulties
cause the performer to halt and stumble, j
Au examination of tho musical portfo
lio of our average young ladies by one '
uninitiated would lead him to suppose
them performers of the highest caliber.
Liszt, Rubinstein, Raff and, in fact, ev
ery famous concert composer will be
found represented, while tho owner
thereof, most likely, will be unable to
play even one bar of their compositions
correctly.
The Strauss wait, mania that swept
over this country somo years ago must
beheld responsible for the" checking of
many a promising student's advance
ment. These waltzes, never originally
intended for the piano, contain difficul
ties beyond the grasp of ordinary per
formers. Written for orchestra, their
arrangement in piano form could not bo
otherwise than impracticable, so far a"
the aiding of a correct style of playing
is concerned, and also unthankful as re
gards results. For an average valse de
concert, written for the instrument,
though apparently from a cursory glance
of a much higher grade, will, on close ex
an.ition, not alone bo found easier, but
also incomparably more brilliant and ef
feetive.
To those whose style is not yet formed,
and who are anxious to obtain a perfect
technique, Tho Musical world advises
that they avoid all arrangements for or
chestral scores or adaptations originally
written for other instruments. This of
course does not apply to transcriptions
made by eminent writers. The judicious
(election of pieces, studies, etc., is of the
utmost importance, not alone as apply
ing to tho welfare of the pupil, but also
molding the material success of the
teacher. It is well for both parties if a
happy medium is hero adopted. Many
go to tho most opposite extremes.
To the child who is just learning to
read, we do not offer Shakespeare; nei
ther does the father, when he deMres to
give his son some relaxation from his
schoolbooks, select one of George Eliot's
works. This would only weary his young
mind, and instead of stimulating serve
to check whatever is luxuriant there.
The same rules apply to mttdo. To ap
preciate what is noble iu this art, a grad
ual cultivation is necessary. Yet tho
means to arrive at such an end must be
most varied. It will not do to pursue a
cut and dried course, applied to all, irre
spective of difference in character or tal
ent. One must be led, another stimu
lated; this one restrained and apparently
held back by force; all different, yet all
brought nearer to perfection by ways
seemingly opposite.
at various ages is thus directed by Har
per's Bazar: -'At from 4 to 8 years the
skirt falls just below tho knee. From
that time it begins to lengthen, reach
ing two inches below the knee at 10
years, three inches above the shoetops at
18 years, two inches above the shoetops
at 14, and at sweet 16 comes back to the

tho top of a not overhigh boot, unless the
young woman is of more than average

ground between the longer frocks of

hood some mothers preferring one,
more; tneu wasn it on wuu soap ana

For a parent the period is the same as
above. The longest period for a brother
is six months five months black, one
month half mourning. The crape period
was formerly three months; it is now
almost discarded. The shortest period
is four months black, no half mourning.

is often shortened to six months
