TiHE GIRL OF TIlE Il'htIOI. They delight to represent themselvCs as the gay and idle butterflies of fash ion which they are not and could not he if they wished, for they have too much of the American goaheadative ness about them. If you doubt this watch thon any line day at the coun ters of the large dry goods stores. 'Th1eir thoughtful faces there as they carefully examine and compare laces, silks, and velvets will tell the story. Or at any time within two or three weeks previous to a fashionable wed ding or other event let a person visit,as 1 have done, families whose dau7hters intend to be present. Not only c'uring the day, but at night as well, the young ladies will be found as deeply engaged in the dresses they are to wear upon the coming occasion and as thoughtfully plannig about them as would be the most practical and hard-worked dress maker. "Why d1o they (1o this? Because for' one thing they delight in beingeconom ical, and also, or the satistaction it gives them to know that they have by their own labor accomplished success ful work. At i wedding a few days ago in one of this citv's churehes, the bride, as she walked down the aisle, carried herself with an air of honest pride and spirit that was a pleasure to see. Of course sh') was proul of her htsbaud and proud of theoccasion, but I flattered myself that there was anoth er reason also for it, and this was a feeling of independence and satisfac tion from the fact that she had with her own hands made the handsomely tit tiw' white silk dress which she wore,as wefl as her entire trousseau. "'"hero do they get their ideas? I will tell you. Call at any of the largo city dry goods houses at what is known as an opening. You will there find any quantity of these young ladies we refer to, inspecting minutel,y the rich and handsome dresses just Imported. But by no means with any intention of be coming purchasers, as perhaps a per son seeing them woild be led to sup pose. It is to 'get ideas' for their spring or fall or evening wardrobes, and they not only succeed in accurate ly copying very elaborato costumles,but in manly eases they improve on those which they see. This is often the case also with reference to millinerv. These girls sometimes sp(nl ay after day hunatlting about town in search of a hat or hon net ready trimmed to suit them. ''len tlhey 'o ShoIp)ilg' for material like it to mikie on its exact couiter part, at probably half the price. "yet Itenl wonder what womi:en find to do with theniselves 'all day lonr,' and a young man on a moderate salary 'ean't "fTei- to Im,arry' because the girls of the pwe-ent day are 'so dreadffullyex travagant,' his ideas wholly obtained from the fact that several of his young lady acqaintanes happen to be smart enough to diress nicely and stylishly on perhaps ,a very siall allowance.

'For centurles there has not been so graceful, ao rtistio *a' arrangemnt of folds iand plaitings. - The first stop to. ward this seems to it4o been the use of goods as a whole instoad. of , the. patch work we- so recently submitted our. solves to. It is always ruinous to the effect of goods to cut it into small pieces. To really understand a dress pattern and draw out its good qualities you must have it in its entirety.. Then design your plaits, i. o., either wide or narrow, in panels, sash, or revers, and arrange the rest of the dress either to hartmonize or to contrast, as may best develop its individuality and express the original idea. How to combine materials of different texture so as to produce an artistic and really pleasing costmltne, is a difficult study, but if per severed in the result will be eminently gratifying. To predict just what will be th outcome of the present tendency seems preuml)tuous in the extretue, and we will venture instead to hope that it will be a perfect, modernized Greek form of dress, which will cou bino entire freedom with real beauty. With the lengthwise panels, now so much used, an unexpected demand has been made of the wearer--a graceful carriage of the body. To dress a bash ful and undignified or frivolous young woman in such a dress would bo highly incon gruous. The wearer, whethershe be short or tall, must allect, if she does not possess, dignity and grace. This principle al.o calls for greater care in the selectioa of a dress, and still great er care in the choice of a pattern. Not only the figure and face of the person shoul be considered, but the personal characteristics as wvell. lHow to do this requires sonme knowledge and a thoroug 'I apprecialt:on of art, coubinl ing with this natural quality its coun. terpart, good taste.--'cwu York World. HAND sCIEENS. A curious little hand screen is made of six sheets of pink tisrue paper, a sheet of bristol or card-board, half n yard of pink satin, a vard and a half of quilled pink satin ribbon, three-quart ers of a yard of pink satin ribbon not plaited, a spool of pink sewingsilk,and a bot tle of muelage. For the handle cut from a small Japanese fan the lo > bamboo stick, which aUnswers nicely andi is stronger than wood of any kind. From the bristol board cut two circular pieces, each six or seven inches in di ameter. Smoothly cover one side of each piece witIh'tlie pink satin, and ov. erhand them together, the satin side out. Make a slit about two inches deep Ii one end of the bamboo handle, and insert the satin circle. Use pins nt rivets to fasten the screen and handlc together; one pin at each end of the slit, passing them through from one side to the other, and as the points will be too long cut, them oilY withi a pair of sh:arp pincers, leaving a small portion of the pin to be turned agains: the hl-an die and hammered down flatly, thus holding the screen and handle securely together. In the very center of the cir cle paint with water colors a pretty de sign of birds or flowers; or, nstead o pa inting. a bunch of artificial pink roses, buds and their foliage may be fastened. ''he tissue paper is then to he cut in strips about four inches wide, the entire width of the sheet, then fringe the strip quite finely, leaving half an inch at the top for a heading to be pasted to tile screen. The fringe is then eriunpol with the scissors or the back of a knife by gathering or pinch ing it up between the fingers and knife, as a ! uille is crimped. Each piece is to be done in this way, then unfolid and shaken out that the fringe shall not be nmattedt together, Coat the plain head ing of the fringe with mucilage, and1( patan one piece at a time all around the outside edge of the circle. Then rowv after rowu, each one falling closely over the ot her until the satin is coveredl to lie sma ll circle which contain .the p)aintinig or flowers. TIo finish the udgo of the hist row which is fastened to tho sat in sew en the quilled satin ribbon the plain satin ribbon is tied in a bow round the han(dle. in plasting thao fringe on the screeni it mlust be allowed to fall outwargl, as the feathers on a fan, and each side of the screen roat. be covered im the saime manner. They are ver*y conivemient to usec as screens for the face when sitt.ing beside the fire, or as a shield for the eyes from lanmplight. ,-f mcrican Queen. The Frozena WVonders of' Siberja.
