Philosophers claim, and not without good reason, that the harmony of married life depends almost entirely upon dinners. It is not tho state of the heart so much as the condition of tho fctomach which makes a man happy. It is b tter for a womtn?? |ank heresy, we know- to be ablo to bmko a cheerful home than, to talk Greek. Before marriage, the ability to sing divinely and to play impossible music aro very attractive ; but when two people so tlo down to tho steady work^ loving each other for forty or fifty^Pkars tho kitchen inevitably emphasizes Itself, and tho chances of auccrss a;o greater with a comely housewife than with an acoothpllshed beauty, who knows everything except how to make tho bouse attractive. FhnIiIom Nolo*. Very wide brocaded satin sashes are popular. Crushed strawberry is no longe? a fashionable color. "White Danish kid g'oves, decorated with lilies of tho valley, are worn by bridemaids. Long shell or metal hairpins take precedence of all < ther ornaments for the coiflure.

Panslo* of all colors and sizes on grounds of various colors appear in chene effects on somo sash ribbons and scarfs. Violet, lilac, pansy, heliotrope, dahlia and many other red tints of purple are fashionable l'cr silk and wool cos tumes White mull llchus with wrought edges in Irish point, or trimmed with Valenciennes lace, aro preferred in warm weather to linen collars for neckwear. m Pongeo is liked for summer travel ing dresses, and when not used for the dress itself it is chosen for a long cloak with plaited back and gquaro sleeves that entirely covers the dreBs boneath, and makes it possible to use any dress the wearer choose? for her journey. Ecru is vi ry much in fashion ; there are very pretty costumsof ecru linon, with tlu skirt trimmed all tlie way up with flounces of linon richly embroid ered in open work ; the lower one is some eight inohes wide, from which th y gradually diminish in width to the top. , The ecru nankeen, worn a generation ago, is se:*n again among the French dresses impoit'd for summer at the seaside and mountain resorts. This thick cotton fabric of clear buff shade is made into very stylish dresses, trimmed with China silks of dark color and wh.te or ecru embroidery on muslin. A groat fancy has arisen for creating a material with alternate rows of ribbon and lace insertion of the same breadth. A dinner dress is to bo mad; with a diagonal tunic and demi-sleeves of white satin ribbon and coffee-colorod lace, the skirt and panniers being wholly compose I of tha laro in flouncos, some waved and others plainly gathered. The newest lin.on collars aro meroly a straight band of doubled lino linon .vith narrow scallops and embroidery along tho upper edgfi. These are worn outside tile dress collar, and there aro two lengthwise buttonholes ift front through which a narrow ribbon is [ passed and tied in a bow, and below this may l,o added two fan plaited onds of mull and wido lace. Tho cotton dressos aro most attract tlvo, says tho American (Jueon. The fact of their bolng mado of cotton goods ought to suggest simplicity In construction and an absence of decora tive features, aavo those that are war ranted to wash; but. on tl\o contrary, these dresses aro made! most elaborately and are lavishly trimmed. The idea of either fabric or laces being laun dered nover enters tho mind of tho modiste, and indeed thero ii nri neces sity that suoh, a .thought should influ ence tho designer' of ttroM lovely robos, fo? with cju;e ono of cotton sateen or foulard can bo actually worn cut without needing t:> be dono up. How ever, when to Imj worn by enroled persons, such a dress should be simply mado and trim mod with wash lace or! Hamburg. I '' Figured Down to a Point. The AdVertiseftMrtt of the tnttoosd Oroek sailor now oni cxhi >ition says:J "Ho has on hi t body 7,000,000 puno tures, ami It. was all dono by a female savago. Tho poor man lost o-drop ot Wood and shed a tear for every pune-j ture, and wto tile Wily otte of twenty-! four who survivod the operation. Tho wotaan wlro did the'tattoolng worked six hours a day f r n nety days before the task wu^ completed." A mathematician of tho Albany it'av jnreax figures as follows: " TJi# woman must havo given him three and a half punctures a xenowd; / Then, If he los$ ono drop of blood with every puncture, he lost, estimating tho usual number 1 of drop! to tho pint, and tnklng a pint for a pound, 6,8JM pounds.

They are made in bakers' shops devoted exclusively to the purpose, The soft bretzel baker scornsthe hard bretzel baker as a dan gerous man, who Is imposing a spuri ous bretzel on the public, while the hard bretzel baker laughs at tin soft bretzel baker as a man who is behind the times: Neither will permit a rival's bretzel to be brought inside of his shop Oneofthe earliost soft bretzel bakers m ttys country -was Anthony Dei. ? merle, lie has retired from business. His son oontinues to bake bretzel?, and Mr. Demmerie deals in canary birds in a little ptore next to the bakery. Any pleasant afternoon Mr. Demmerie p?ay l>e '*W?*>ntftntedly? sjnoking a long-etemftwd-"flpedn: the -doorway. "Yes," he said, pleasantly, " people maka a great fuss about those new steam bret'.els. There is notso much money in the soft bret/ol business as when I started in it nineteen years ago. You want to"seo bretzels made? Wei1, come right thi?? way along." On the way to the bako-room Mr. Demmerie explained that tho best white flour is used, and tfiat yeast dough is made siuvlar to that u.ed in tho manu^?ft\^o*5op| l>reMi the bako-roqm wai a twenty-gallon kettle filled! with boiling lye, made with water and potash, which is bought in caus. A workman seizes a piece of dough, rolls it out into ldng rolls as large as a bologna sausage, and then cuts the /oil into-pieces about threo inches long. One cf these piecos is rolled into a long strip large in tho middle and small at tho ends. Tho workman placos a thumb and forefin ger at each end of the strip, crossos his hands in ft twinkling, dabs the ends into the fat part of the strip by the same moj-i'on, anil the bretiel is shaped and rea'dy for the'lye ketllo Another workman drops them into tho boiling JVo in batches of twelve, and keeps them there only a moment while llu fishes out twelve he has just put in a few seconds bofor *. About four seconds is tho time required for the dough to take on a mahogany c olor. While {lie bretzels are still wet they are sprinkled with salt and then shoved into a very hot oven where they aro quickly baked, Wlun they are peddled in baskets each peddler usually carries six or seven dollars worth. They are sold by the dozen or at a cent each. Bretzels of a smaller sizo aro sold two for a cent. They mtiy bo.palhkalJe twioM three days after they aro bakod. ?Stefitned or hard bretzels aro made "from cracker dough. A machine mixes and.rolls the dough, and vuts the rolls Into short lengths, which the workman makes into bretzels by hand. Tie makes 150 an hour. After boiling them in tho lye, salting them and bak ing them in an oven, they aro put into boxes, where they are dried by steam. This process renders them friablo. " I Bend fcteam bretzels to F1 rida, an 1 all over the Union," said a manufacturer. "My business increases all tho while. I began seven years ago, and peddled them from one barroom to auotht r. Every bartender laughed at me and my hard bretzels, but I kept on. They were mado in tho West rn cities before they were mado in New York. Twice a-* many men aro employed in making bret zels in summer as in winter. My shop turns out 25,000 bret/.els a day. J'hihydelphia is a irreat place for steamed br(t els. Ihaye known them to be palatable six nibnths'after-they were made."? Ntw Fork Hun. About Women Clerks.
