is treated exactly like the back. Whill
this is a dressy frock, it is also n very
sensible one. as tho mate rials of which
it is composed wear well, and when
made of dark colors do not easily soil.
This model may of c mrse be dmplifli A
by omitting the embroidery and plaiting.
Gowns for "dress occasion-' for yonng
girl? not yet introduced into society art
dainty, but simple. The very mild fes
tiviti in which they an1 allowed to en
gage demand gra and airiness of ai tire. '
but the s;:ai.e and tulle, which need tin
derskirts and linings of siik or oatin, are
reserved for the ball gowns of the eldei
sisters who are "ont."

used for girls from 15 to 17 year; old,

nied with dark velvets by way of con

madeof colored silk of any Bhade desired,
with the skirt striped with wide lace in

narrower insertions matching those on
the skirt. The insertions are laid ovei

made of white material color, may be sup
plied with knots of ribbon.
There are washing silks, chiffons and
other light fabrics for party frock
which wash well, dry quickly and iron
easily great desiderata where careles.
yonng folk are concerned. A pretty
finish may easily be given to a long sleeve
by the home dres-.maker. This, accord
ing to Harper's Bazar, consists of a little
ruffle sewed to the end of the sleeves and
extending np around the h ind,
It is not a gathered raffle, but a circu
lar frill, made from a square of abotrl
seven inches by rounding off the corner!
Scams and hem are feather Btitehcd
and when tinted silks BM used in giving
this bit of ornamentation ribbon stringi
matching the embroidery silks are rut
within the casing at the waist. Bo&M
times a piece several inches in width ii
turned up at the bottom of the apron
thus furnishing a long, narrow recepta

Into tins big, warm apron, baby cat
be cuddled snugly until he is thoroughly
dried off, It protects him from draft:
and may indeed be dubbed a nursery
comfort.
OUR MODERN LAMPS.

The modern lamp constructed on scien
tiflo principles has been brought to an
almost p fleet state as a source of light.
Another accepted fact is its great dvvel
opment from sn art standpoint. Many
of thechoioe table lamps are veritable ob
jects of virtu, illustrating modem prog

There is scarcely a family that does
not possess au old secretury stored away
in the garret because it is too plain to
occupy any other place. But with a lit
tle labor and at small expense it can be
transformed iuto a useful and decorative

AN OLD SECRETARY.
Object, One method is to convert it into
a lidi board, and hen- is a description of
it as told by a writer iu The Art Ama
teur: Tho designs in such pieces' of fur
niture are not exactly alike, but the
principle uf alteration is essentially the
same and can be applied to them all
with a iw modification a.
The one operated upon looked like Fig.

silk, enriched with Bounces of lace. Tin
materials of others are silk chiffon, crape
and crinkle silks in delicate shades of
lemon yellow, pale pink, the colors ot
sunrise and suns-t, orange, blue, and
many of the confections are further dec-
orated with flounces of lace and wreaths
of flowers,
The most sumptuous lamps of all are
the pedestal or piano lamps, whose

and cutting a round bole in the middll
for the hand to pass through. It is madt
double, and is stitched to the ileevs with
out fullness. When the dress is trimmed
with another fabric and one of a differ
ent color, the added fabric forms the in
side next the hand, as a frill of blacl
sacking faced inside with cerise valval
or satin like that Used lor the collar are:
bell.
When finished, the raffle, is only twe
inches wide. The outer edges are Iirl
aewed together, then turned and stitched
on the outside. The frill is attached k
the sleeve by two rows of Stitching, and
the sleeve is faced with a band of silk.
That the hand maypass through the frill
easily it is well to leavn thu Otttor seam
of the sleeve open a space of two Inchei
and close it by t wo hooks and loops. Tie
rutrlo is also left opes a slight dlstaaoi
beyond the sleeve, but the edges should
meet closely to preserve the circular ap
pearance. Mow to Plata RtMttlUh,
This stitch enters so largely into every
thing that it is well to speak of it here.
Take a piece of lim n In Which the thread
draw easily. Fold and baste them, Draw
above the edge of the fold from four to
six threads, according to the quality id
the material. With a Suitable l die
and a liner number of cotton than would
be used for sewing the sunn' stuff, insert
the needle into the edge of the fold, throw
tho thread to the left, take npu cluster
of threads, pull them together, insert the
needle into the edge of the fold mid repeat.

can onyx. The art metal work now so
popular finds abundant expression in
the iron, copper and brass pedestals pi
the piano lamps, which, by the bye, do
not necessitate a piano. New piano
lamps are made to imitate a tree with
spreading branches and flowers. The
leaves are fiat and serve as shelves on
which vasc-j and curios may be pla 1.
Some of the lump shades are par
ticularly pretty. One of very novel
design, named after .Miss Loie Fuller,
was made of rainbow gauze, it was
trimmed with ribbon and edged with
a fring- ,,f sequins.

To jot down every night the amount

in order and footing up the sum total, ir

Is empty. Some girls always have money,
and other! never lane it. yet the allow
ance from which they draw is in all
cs - s quit liberal. The difference ariset
from the way they spend, 'i hose who keep
accounts, and who buy only what the)
an- sure they want, are m muon pleas
enter position financially than those who
are caught by every pretty thing offered
on the bargain counter, and who do not
count the COS) till Ibeir money is nil gone,
Most, diaries have a place iu which tin
memoranda of expenditure can be readih
kept, there being ruled columns with
dates for every day in tho year and a lit
tle pencil attached to the book, so thai
the minimum of trouble is given to thf
accountant. The habit, once formed, it
so satisfactory that few are willing tc
abandon it when ite convenience ha.'

Bsxsr.
TUSCtreeiar Rata Cape,
This very comfortable garment fW
driving or for walking is, as its name
indicate, cut in one piece, The eollai
enough to cover the top of this piece and
project over the front and sides a little.
At the back of this piece fasten an up
right frame (Ii, Fig. 4i the length of the
bottom section and 18 inches wide. Fig,
li gives plan of construction of this piece
Leave an Opening in the middle '.'i by 7f
inches, into this opening Is to be placed
n panel, which will be explained later.
Notice that the upright does not pro
je. i ;,. vend the line id' side (E E B, Fig.
8), This piece is fastened to A by three
or four screws driven through A,
Next a piece is cut the size of bottom
of upper or cabinet part, and projecting
beyond front and side-! one-quarter of an
inch ((', Fig. t) and fastened on the top
of B at This gives the three sided
frame A B C, Now lu small posts are
to be placed on A to support C three,
one iii each corner in front and two on
, : h side back. Fig. " gives plan of the
arrangement of these posts, which are
lj Inches in diameter and 19 inches
long. A molding is to be cut on tho
front and liides of both A and C, This
can be done easily at a mill for a few
cents. The posts can be made simple or
elaborate. Now tear off the crown
pieces on the top of upper part iD. Fig.
h and put in its places brass railing,
consisting of five posts and a bra.is rod
on three sides. This can be purchased
for $1. A molding is to bo tacked
around the top edge of this piece, also at
F F. Six handles of brass can be bought
for 75 o n.s.
For the pair 1 to go in frame at H niuy
be bought one the size given above of
plaster of paria for 75 cents, Give this
several coats of raw linseed oil. Then,
when this is dried in with some burnt
sienna and raw umber, paint over the
whole. Make a pad of cloth aud rub off
opposed to the position of the larynx in
certain registers as, for instance, the u
sound in the upper or the ee sound in
the lower register. They do not modify;
they radically change. And they aro to
careless and slovenly with their conso
nants that the words become wholly un
intelligible. It is extremely coinmi:t to
bear a tenor pronounce "day" "dub," if
it chances to come on a note above In
middle register. Now, when the letter
d is not dearly enunciated, the word be
comes "uh," which is simple gibberish.
If it is possible for a German to enun
ciate distinctly.it is posiibleforan Auier
lean. Our language presents no graver
difficulties to the singer than that of the
fatherland. Yet it was always a delight
to me to mark iiow clearly the German
text fell from the lips of such good sing
ers as Fischer and Leliuiaiin. The same
admirable clearness of diction is a nota
ble featnre of the singing of .lean de
Kes.ke. 1 suspect that our deticioncy in
this matter is barely due to the insurti
cient : raining of our singers, who are
not willing to sacrifice the necessary
years to a complete mastery of all parts
of their art. But I suspect also that some
vocal teachers do not give as much at
tention to this matter as they might,
Money Fur Chlldreu.
A writer for The Household says:
There is a great deal said about the valut.
of an allowance tor children, and it i
certainly a wise plan to train them to
spend small sums judiciously that they
may learn the value of money while
young. But perhaps many parents live
on farms where money comes in slowly
or irregularly, so that au allowance foi
their children is out of the question.
1 would suggest to them that they givt
to their young people something on the
farm that shall yield an income, though
ever so small. Let them have a hive of
bees or a few liens of their own, or per
haps a lamb or calf, but insist that any
expense incurred by their pets shall be
met by themselves trom their profits.
If none of these ways seems practical
let them have a piece of ground on wine)
to experiment with berries, small fruits
or vegetables, or give them the yield of
certain apple trees for a season, provided
they do the work involved themselves.
It may require a little sacrifice to mak
the gift or to bother with the uuskillful
work of the children s hands, but in
small way they will be receiving a val
uable business training worth more U
them than a regular allowance from tin
family purse.
