. Straw Lace.
There is a new guipure lace which,
when laid over white, resembles noth
ing so much as straw lace, both in
color and in texture. It is exceeding
ly effective as a ttimming over mous
seline de soie, because that delicate
tissue may be pulled in places through
its wide meshes, thus adding novelty
to smartness.

Mast Keep Her Name.
A woman notary public in Denver,
Col., was married recently,and the ques
tion arose as to what name she should
Mign in her official capacity. The* mat
ter was referred to the attorney gen
eral of the state, and he has furnished
an opinion that there is no authority
of law for women iu Colorado to drop
their maiden names in the event of
marriage. &he must, therefore, sign
all documents as before marriage, be
cause there is no authority for a
change of name at marriage or any
other time.
‘ Patriotic Sofa Pillows.
The most popular sofa pillows just
now are those that bear upon them
some trace of the Stars and Stripes.
Large hammock and piazza pillows
are made of actual dags, and less ag
gressive ones have "white stars on a
bine ground, the reverse side of the
cushion being of red and white
stripes. Sometimes a pair of tiny
dags are crossed and embroidered in
one corner. It is a trial to aesthetic
tastes that the colors of onr dag are
so pronounced, bnt the artistic faculty
gives way to patriotic sentiment, and
the American dag is emphatically the
decorative vogue of the moment.
A Woman Baker.
There is a woman now in New York
who has had most serions misfortunes,
and yet has shown rare perseverance
and energy at the critical moment.
Only a short time ago she and her
husband lived in a comfortable home
in a western city. They owned the
property and had been moderately
well-to-do. But the husband died very
suddenly. Then the insurance oa the
house gave ont, and soon the widow
found it necessary to dispose of the
property. Pending the negotiations
the house burned to the ground, and
although the widow escaped, every
thing in her possession had been con
sumed. She had to borrow clothes be
fore leaving for New York, where she
had friends.
She resolved not to allow her grief
to have a serious effect upon her, but
to find some immediate source of sup
port, and took the first opportunity
that offered. She had made a specially
wholesome graham bread for a friend
here who was suffering with indiges
tion, and his appreciation of it at once
suggested a means of support—she
would bake and sell bread. Calling
at neighboring residences and board
ing houses, she at once took orders
for all she could bake, delivered the
bread the same day, and secured
regular customers. With the pro
ceeds of successive sales she took iu
a large supply of materials, and is
steadily increasing the profits. She
declares that with her ambition she
will not regain poor long, and will
soon make a big success of her under
taking.—New York Sun.
ie Return aft he Shirt Waist.
waists of plain, solid color are
varied with bands of embroidered in
sertion or, heavy bands of lace, run
ning up or down or crosswise, as the
figure may demand, and many of them
have bias bands, cuffs and collar of
plaided or striped material. Others
of plain, solid colored material have
cuffs, collar and front box plait of pol
ka-spot material, in which case a plain
white tie finishes short at the neck,
and a belt of white is worn. Cotton
cheviot, pique in all colors, duck and
fine gingham are the popular wash
materials for general wear. Stripes
are very’modish in shirtwaists this
year, and most of them rnn around
instead of up and down. Bias plaids
are also much nsed,andare very smart
looking, but mast always be worn
with skirts of plain,solid color. Tucks
are used in every conceivable way on
shii-t waists of all materials and are
applied up and down, across, zig-zag,
slanting, in clusters or regulation
spaces, as fancy or figure dictates.
Sleeves are smaller than they were
last year, and the cuffs in many cases
•re attached. Even where the fronts
cannot be called a real blouse they
pouch a little, and the gathers extend
almost the entire length of the shoul-
der instead of being all directly in
the front.
The black satin shirt waist, though
worn much during the winter, is ir-
Av .:.- '
mii
repressible, and is continually de
veloping some new feature. For
traveling, this waist is decidedly the
most stylish and durable, shedding the
dnst and cinders.
While many of the waists have de
tachable collars and cuffs to match,
the white linen ones will be as much
worn as ever. Belts there are in all
varieties; solid gold belts studded with
precious and semi-precious stones;
metal "belts fairly blazing with imita
tion gems; velvet, satin, silk and
leather belts, with gorgeous metal and
jeweled buckles, and enameled ones
designed in openwronght patterns.
With the wash shirt waist, however,
quite the prettiest is the leather belt,
which fastens with plain harness
bnckles. —Woman’s Home Companion.
Fashion Notes.
Covert cloth, poplins and Bedford
cords are shown in great variety for
the indispensable tailor made sait.
Piquets, marseilles,lawns and linens
will be much worn this summer for
morning gowns, as well as at the
watering places.
A very pretty and fashionable de
sign in table linen is the shamrock.
It is used on napkins, and promises
to become popular.
Persian mauve, pale almond or tan
color are effectively combined on new
Paris evening gowns and tailor cos
tumes for special wear.
Satin royal and very elegant qual
ities of pean de soie are handsomely
made up together in imported wedding
toilets for spring and early summer.
A fashionable summer gown is of
golden brown dimity with insertion
of brown and white running up each
seam and at- the top of the lower
fionnee.
A swell Ascot tie designed exclu
sively for women is on the market. It
is made of bias striped satin, in colors
so gay that they pat the most modish
hosiery to shame.
The braided black straw plateau
bent into turban shape, high at odq
side and the brim finished with large
jet catashuns, is another of the pretty
designs in walking hats.
All the buttons are on the jeweled
order, with the exception of those in
jet and gold, and these have the ef
fect of onyx and are not like what are
generally known as jet buttons.
This season the wood colors and
grays are the principal colors, and the
wood colors are smarter than the
grays, for the last named were worn
all last summer, it will be remem
bered.
A pretty morning hat is a black
sailor of rough straw with a band of
burnt orange satin ribbon, which fin
ishes in a spiral of the, same. Three
black spangled qaills complete the
trimming.
A hat that milliners say will be
much worn is of green soft silk, a
number of pnff ruffles forming the
crown and brim, and trimmed at the
side with a spiral puff and a large
white aigrette.
There is a great variety in hats, the
new Alpine being among the ones that
have been favorably received already.
It is gray, with wide ribbon and band,
finished in the left side with a bunch
of long cock feathers.
Buckles and fancy buttons are
among the new things on gowns. The
hackles may not buckle and the but
tons may not be used to fasten the
waist, but they must needs be worn in
order to give the proper smart finish
to any gown.
Soft light tints will be very greatly
favored for evening wear, despite the
fact that the most intense and striking
colors, such as deep orange, geranium
and poppy red, grass green and im
perial purple are so much used by
Parisian ateliers.
Yellow lace for trimming white
fabrics will be much in favor, but
there is a great variety in the shades
chosen. Faille and light tones pre
vail over the yellows with the dash of
pink which was so popular a few sea
sons ago. The combination of white
and straw colored lace is used not only
for gowns, but also for blouse bodices.
In negligee gowns, loose robes fall
ing from the shoulders and neck in
Oriental fashion seem to have the
preference. Ribbons sewn into the
side seams are frequently knotted
across the fronf. An innovation in
sleeves is noticeable in some of tho
most handsome silk gowns. The
sleeves either hang in a long point
from the bend of the arm or else are
cut to the elbow only and finished
with ruffles of lace.
BURNING.
Methods Employed ber Those Encaged
j in the Work in Englaad.
- The methods employed by tbe char
coal burners of England seem primitive
tn this day, bnt the results obtained are
•atisfactory. First, the young trees are
eut down and stripped of their branch
es and laid in heapa to he carted away,
the burners reserving only oak between
two and three inches thick, which Is
eut Into two-foot lengths and the hark
peeled off. The bark la tied in bundles
and carted off and the short sticks are
laid regularly side by aide in a circular
heap sixteen feet in diameter and six
feet high. This heap Is covered with
rushes and earth, a small hole being
left in the center. Through thla the
fire la Introduced and eats Its way
downward. A little air Is let In from
the bottom and the fire Is kept burning
slowly and steadily. A pit takes two
days to burn through. Strong winds
are a great enemy to successful com
bustion and great screens of gorse are
usually made. In burning, the wood
loses 40 per cent, in bulk and 80 iu
weight

A Postal Cariosity.
A letter that has been traveling for
more than 50 years is till on its jour
ney. The class which graduated at
Yale In 1844 started such a letter
tmong themselves. The letter has gone
the rounds of the year, relating to
each member of the circle the doings
of his comrades. Few are still left
alive, bnt dearer than any other arrival
by post is the traveling letter, that
still stirs the hearts of the surviv
ors with Us memorials of the living
and the dead of the class of 1844.

No amount of argument can convince the Experienced,'
honest grocer that any other soap will give his customers
such general satisfaction as Ivory Soap. He knows that
they prefer Ivory Soap to new kinds, of unknown quality.
Ivory Soap will sell because the people want it, the
other soaps may look like Ivory, but his customers want
the real thing—they may buy a new soap once to try it,
but they come back again and again for Ivory Soap, and
they insist on having it.

The Cooking of Game:Birds.

serve birds with heads on and ub*
