, l /*- m^ S Butterfly Designs for Gowns. | It is to the butterfly that certain dressmakers owe their inspirations for frocks. The flutterer of the garden is unsurpassed for variety and delicacy of color. A French constructor of feminine garb was the first who went to the winged creature for suggestions. . , He did so at the instance of an artist friend, who said that of all the harmonious designs in nature those of the butterfly were the finest. So the dressmaker has been sending orders to a Boston naturalist who gets choice specimens from tropical countries. Only last week 25 butterflies were sent across the sea to serve as suggestions for gowns.?New York Press. . A Cricketing Governess. Governesses who ean play ball are the latest aspirants for eminence in the educational world. Simplified spelling and other "reforms" must stand aside in favor of the new idea. But good American baseball is not the game in question. A Scotswoman vecently struck a bargain with a French t governess of whom a friend had writVv ten the following praise: "You will find her just what you want. She played cricket every afternoon with my, boy ^ and the footman." There is food for reflection for the person who figures the Scot as painfully studious. No - matter how progressive the systems of home learning may be this is perhaps the first time a giverness has been ; hired because she was qualified in sgki sports.

Mrs. Peters weht-iato the shop because she wanted to be with her husband and had no children at fconip. She began trying her hand at a fev^, easy things, just for fun, and went ori^to more difficult ones, until now there is nothing in the shop that she cannot do. At the same time she does all her own housework, and has not outgrown a fondness for fancy work.

I To Display Presents. In Paris most charming conceits are H devised to enhance the effect of an exhibition of wedding gifts in the bride's home. Sometimes the furniH ture is removed from one or two rooms to give space to showcases, m* where is made a tasteful array of the most delicate parts of the trousseau and numberless bibelots. The heavier I articles are suspended from screens I or round the walls from hanging rib bons. pictures, or even dados of crinkH $ v '?" ' " ;; v . . " \ >" t ^ . ' ' . , v' i led paper velours in some subdued shade. One of the most telling arrangements is the dispersal against the walls of small tables covered witn mignonette-green silk, and on which are artistically displayed the bridal treasures, eo each of which is attached with a pink ribbon the card or the giver. The contents of every table are partly veiled by vaporous 'tulle held up to the wall by some bracket lamp, high statuette and draped at the sides with large choux in pink satin. The coloring depends evidently on the. prevailing tones of the house decorations. Such a treatment is light, tasteful and net too expensive. _ A scheme which involves larger reception rooms and a greater outlay of time, and money consists of a triumphal arch in bamboo at the entrance | to every door, often covered with , climbers, while through the whole suite of rooms are distributed in profusion palm trees, jardinieres, tall vases ana coroeines iun ci nowers, givms j the impression of a bower of flowers j and foliage, in which are nestled the marvels of the bride's outfit and of her friends' generosity and taste.-< New Haven Register. Appropriately Gloved. There is nothing so conducive to a woman's self-respect ps to be neatly and appropriately gloved. "A lady is known by her shoes and by her gloves." It is an aphorism that has stood the test of years. It is poor economy to buy bargain sale gloves, except on rare occasions when you are sure of their quality. Many women make the mistake of thinking that a tight-fitting glove causes the hand to look small. Nothing is farther from the truth. A tightfitting glove makes the hand bulge in places, so that it looks ill-porportioned. On the other hand, the glove that is too large gives a slovenly appearance to the hand. Everything depends on the way the glove is put on the first time. The glove which is put on crooked can never be straightened. No one but the woman who is by na,- * ture tidy, realizes how much longer gloves will last if they are carefully T-o-moTor) artH /Oenneri and mended. I One girl, who prides herself upon keeping all her gloves in perfect order, always removes a slight stain on her gloves immediately with benzine, not putting the glove away soiled, so that the stain will become set and immovable. Gloves should always be pulled out flat by the finger tips and wrist, and put away in tissue paper. With ordinary care, any woman can clean her own gloves. She must have on hand some of the nest grade of gasolene, a soft tooth brush and a covered ironing board. Pour some of the gasolene into a bowl. If the glove fits you it is better to put it on your hand and dip the tooth brush in gasolene, rub the glove until it is clean, rubbing it with a piece of flannel or a bath towel until it dries. A white glove should never be worn more than once without cleaning. If it is cleaned properly after each wearing, it can be worn indefinitely, as the spots do not become set.?New Havem Register. Fashion Notes. The dainty tapestry embroidery on fine hosiery wears exceptionally well. It is noticeable that many of the very richest broadcloth costumes are trimmed in self color. bit of embroidery will be done *n contrasting color on the vest or somewhere about the coat. There is a lovely new French ribbon in the stores with great shadowy, indistinct roses droped along its length. Heavy embroidery in self color 01 in contrast (gold on white-being a favorite) appears on the sheerest ihaterials for dressy gowns. "-\The use of the handsome artificial flo^grS^'Will not be confined to hats this season, bu&4Jiey will also decorate a great many evening bodices and gowns. Squirrel lines a handsome broadcloth evening cloak, and sable forms its collar, while the fronts, cape and cuffs are heavily embellished with silk braiding. One of the accepted modes of skirt trimming is the irregular band of net near the bottom dyed the color of the gown and embellished with cloth applique. It seems that the short skirts of the tiny Russian blouse suits are never so cunning as when cut so widely circular that they almost ripple from the longwaisted blouse. Various dangling ornaments in the shape of silk balls, gold tassels, glittering spangles, discs and pearl ornaments, appear on many of the smart toilettes of the hour and the effect is good when the ornaments are tastefully applied STUDIED DANCES OF INDIANS. M. Gabrielle Spent Years in Effort to Trace Origin of Gyrations. M. Gabrielle spent nearly two years among the Indians of America studying their dances to see if he could discover from their gyrations a clew to their origin. He found among the Pueblos forms which convince him that their religious dances were of Chinese, or at least of Oriental origin, while he firmly was convinced that the Apaches derived their war dances, their sun dances and other ceremonial dances from Asiatic forms. Among the northern Indians he declares he found semblance to Icelandic?and therefore Norge dances? and traces of old Jewish ceremonial i dances, especially in their council lodge dances. The ancient dance of the Eskimos was a chief feature of their festivals. The natives forfhed in a group, in the center of which stood the chief performer. He sang a weird song, beating time on a drum, gesticulating and dancing like a madman. Sometimes the song was meant merely for the entertainment of the company, who held hands and circled around him like children do when they play "Frog in the Meadow.'" But generally the song and dance had a ceremonial, if - religious, significance. The man in the center chanted a satirical "nithscng" against another Eskimo, who made significant responses. Perhaps the strangest of dances is that of the wild Hairy Ainu, the *mountain savages of Japan. In one of their few public semi-religious fesf?T7o1c. o-irlc nllt fit! lorn?

The significance of this peculiar garment has not been revealed to travelers who have seen their dances. Two little children are placed in the center of a cleared circle, and the oddly dressed Ainu girls go around and around, calling out certain words repeatedly and hopping airways on one foot. The- dance in a slight way is said to resemble the "Sir Roger de Coverley," and, though it is uncouth and barbarous to a degree, it is not without a certain wild beauty.?Chicago Tribune.

He was concerned in three wars, and signed three treaties of peace. In the Franco-Prussian war he had three horses killed under him. He brought about the meeting of three emperors, and was responsible for the triple alliance.
