Mrs. Stewart visits the store once
famous as A. T. Stewart's every week
to see the novelties there, and orders
a new gown or bonnet or something
for her house; but she is so unassuming

Birdikina a? Ornament*.
' , ' The habit of. using birdskins foi
ornamental purposes is playing havoc
with the velvet trade. To show the
enormous extent to which the new
fashion of wearing the entire stuffed
bird has reached, it is computed that
upward of 2,000,000 small brillianthued
birds were imported to England
the past year, one-sixth of which are
those plumed gems the humming
birds, the remainder being parrots
sunbirds, orioles, kingfishers, and
birds of paradise. But these, when

the ornamental feathers, such as those
of ostriches, emus, rheas (South
American ostrich), egrets, jungle?<?cks,
orioles, tragopans, peacocks,
v etc., bring more than $9,225,000 in
Great Britain alone. Supposing that

The Empress Josephine's passion
for dress is a matter of history. So
extravagant was she in gratifying this
passion that annually her stipend of
600.000 francs was entirely consumed,
and year after year her debts increased
ko an appalling degree. Her toilet
consumed much time, and she lavished
unwearied efforts on the preservation
nod embellishment of her person.
She changed her linen three times a
(lay, and never wore any stockings
Uiaft were not < new. Huge baskets
were brought to her containing different
dresses, shawls and hats. From
' these she selected her costume for the
*
day. She possessed between thrpe
hundred and four hundred shawls,
and always wore one in the morning,
which she draped about, her shoulders
with unequaled grace. She purchased
all that were brought to her, no mattor
at what price. The evening toilet
was as careful as that of the morning;
then she appeared with flowers,
pearls, or ^precious stones in-her hair.
The smallest assembly was always an
ccasion for her to order a new cos"
tume, in spite of the hoards of dresses
m the various palaces. Bonaparte
was irritated by these expenditures;
* he would fly into a passion, and his
wife, would weep and promise to be
wore prudent; after which shb would
go on in the same way. This passion
|f for dress never exhausted itself. She
died covered with ribbons and in a
dress of pale rose-colored satin.?

What is my opinion of a pretty
woman's face? It is about the weakest
recommendation she can have,
when you get down to the real Wprth
of it* but for the ordinary uses of
society, such as winning popularity,
attention, and a husband, it probably
lakes first place. Men are just as big
lools about a pretty face as women,
and women are too silly foyr anything.

was just reading yesterday of one who
had a freckle doctor take all of the
skin off of her face with some kind of
medicine in order to remove the
harmless little specks. I am glad to
sny she is disfigured for life. . Every
time she looks at herself now she will
See a monument to her folly, and if
she has any sense at all she will learn
that something besides beauty of face

Wie superficial beauty of face is not
warranted not to fade, even though
she sees every day the disagreeably
- homely faces of women who In their
youth were considered beautiful.
; That women thus place such value
f{"; upoft a pretty face ia not a coraplimcnt
to the men for whom they care
jg| to be pretty. because it is an
open admission that men haven't an;
more sense than they have, and in
justice to my sisters, I confess that
thefv are right in their conclusion?
the men are not any better finished
and furnished in their skulls than the
women are. If you will look, however,
among the married women ol
the land you will discover that homely
women are about as successful in
winning husbands as the others, and
their homes and children arebettei
evidences than anything else, as tc
1 which class takes the gate money.
1 All the talk in the world will no1
' change public opinion on this matter,

able to let somebody know that on th<
outskirts of the crowd of beauty worshipers
there are a few who art
^ heterodox enough to know the differ'
ence between shadow and substance

occasions are only more defined.
