. LADIES' DEPARTMENT. A Bwntlfal Picture Done la Thread. y.>'; There is now being exhibited in Chi/ <**8?a beautiful picture dono entirely |?'with a needle. At tho distance of a few feet it has the appearance of a mellow old engraving or etching, but on close intofiC spection shows itself to bo needlework. The background is of white silk, grown . somewhat yellow with age, and the material employed in working is thread Pb drawn from black silk crane. The draw jBpi" >>' 1 , i?g of the picture is perfect and aside from its value as a curiosity it is a marine s!$ Tiqw of real merit. The present owner, y ; an English gentlewoman, now living in ? Z Chicago, can furnish satisfactory proof of its having been in her own family since the year 1797. Before leaving England she frequently refused offers of large sums for it, not foreseeing the misfortunes which now compel her to part with it. ' .v r - * l>Id it on Purpose. A beautiful Philadelpliian had won a "gros lot" in the matrimonial lottery, in the shape of a husband of high birth and jp position in the North of Europe, who had been vanquished by the fair one's ? v charms while an attache to his embassy in Washington. Having brought back t his bride to Europe, they were present at a breakfast given in their honor, at which iiis majesty, the emperor of Austria, appeared to salute the host. It is easy to imagine the feelings of the guests, aDove all oi tnc punctilious and courtly bridegroom, "when, every one having respectfully risen at the appearance of the monarch, the bride was seen to remain quietly seated at table, eyeing the royal personage with consummate coolness. On being remonstrated with the beautir.'.1 ful countess answered: "Oh, I did it on purpose, to show that a free, independent * American citizen thinks nothing of their trumpery royalities!"?London Court v':- Journal. m ? Too Much Sweeping. The advisability of giving every apartment a vigorous "broom cleaning" at 4VUOV VUVW u ii v^v? rv ii(IO UUUI1 DU Obi UI1UUUS1J insisted upon by some notable housekeepers thut it has by many been con- j ver,ted into an imperative duty. But looking at the matter in an unprejudiced light, one cannot clcarly see why a draw- j ing-room, inhabited perhaps only a few hours of the afternoon and evening, or an unoccupied guest chamber should require the same amount of purification demanded by a sewing, sitting or dining- ! room. The dust-pau and brush are laborsaving machines that do not receive due >- , v appreciation. By their aid in removing a little dust here and a little there the business of sweeping a whole room may bo deferred at times, when at the first glance anything less than a complete w ' routing out of furniture and dirt together would seem impossible.?Marion Uarland. Hontekeepluii In Japan. A lady writing from Japan says: "Housekeeping here has no trials. The ff worn and vexed spirits of the American f chatelaines ought to rest in Japan after death. Capable and faithful servants are plenty and cheap. Our establishment boasts five, and for these we pay about what two would cost in New York. I f. : "\ do not visit my kitchen once a month, never give an order outside of a spoken wish, yet the domestic machinery moves :ii. ?J ? if 1 wii,u uu uusc ana penecuon unattainable at home by almost any effort on the part of the mistress. The manners of the servants are amusing, not to say startling, v to an American accustomed to the cheerful familiarity of her native help. Every night at bedtime our five retainers appear, prostrate themselves in succession to the earth, and retire. This is to wish me good night and renew their testimony of profound respect and pleasure over the privilege of serving me. It was difficult at first to preserve the necessary r, dignity for the ceremony, but now I am as majestically gracious as any other po tentate. The other jday on one of my rare visits to the kitchen, a hairpin bo^ came looscucd and dropped without my notice. I had been seated in my own room only a few moments when my houseman entered, bearing a small salver, j jfe- which he presented to me with many I genuflections. Fancy my surprise to see :> little hairpin upon it, and to learn from my proud but embarrassed servitor that I .it had fallen to the kitchen floor from my W',' head. Afterward I found there had been ft discussion as to who should pick it up, and almost a quarrel A to whom belonged the inestimable honor of bearincr it to it* -M . / " l? ? owner."' Woman's Bight* lit Ireland. i\' Iceland wonaon havo already enjoyed <he consideration held to be due to a free perion." Traditionally the marTied woman has been acknowledged to be ihe principal authority within her house, from whence, howevor, she had no right to remove or part with anything without ?^ 3 the.husband's consent. She was in anif-. pp^^pciens wmes ine rrce cmpenser or nor own -personal property, in so far that her lius, tfcaod could not lawfully touch it and 1||^:}l^0Khteti it to his o*wn use without her |e>A' ;gjeaini88ion; nor could she without his ^consent part with any of it, for by law IfcfeN ftfae husband was tha wife's guardian. ; practically, this relation between man I - nod wife, m regard* their joint estate or . property, stands unchanged to this day. A woman can institute a case in her own behalf in the courts of law on her own responsibility if she prefers not to consult her guardian, but she cannot plead in court. By a law Recently passed all women who pay borough rates are entitled to vote in all municipal matters that fail under tho decision of the vote of the community, and this was passed simply as a piece of justice, without any woman having raised her voice to demand it. So far the women in Iceland scarcely realize tho advantages of the franchise to which they are entitled, owing in a great measure to the severe struggle against poverty; the trade mon. opoly of the Danish government, imposed in 1600, and only removed in 1854, had reduced the country to a condition of poverty, from which it is only slowly recovering. There are not wanting signs, xiuwever, tunc tne women wm progress side by side with the men in the improvements which they arc struggling for, both in their government and education. Faihlon Notes. Pale bronze is a popular color in new goods. There will be another season of black hosiery. Bead trellises arc a feature in dress trimmings. Straw hats are in Spanish and Tyrolean shapes. Yellow-brown is to supersede the favorite green. Some of the straw hats have Rembrandt brims. Sailor hats with broad brims are among the various shapes in straw. Heavy cord and braid trimmings, a la militaire, will be used for jackets. White muslin scarfs have rows of gold lace alternating with the embroidery. Colored silk laces will be used for trimming silks and for millinery purposes. Tartan plaids, of soft silk crape, will be used in combination with plain materials. Silk cashmere has silken lustre and drapes as gracefully as its woolen name sake. Yellow will be combined with black, white and the dark shades of yellowbrown. Gauze ribbons have velvet stripes in contrasting colors or arc embroidered in self-colors. The newest neck bandj, or dog collars, are so high that they threaten to cut off a lady's cars. Beaded grenadines will be in favor for summer wear; some of the designs art very elaborate. Novelty brands in straws are as numerous and various as the weaves in the new bordered and striped fabrics. All the decorative pieces of glass, china, or silver on the fashionable dinner table arc tall and high at present. Rosettes of ribbon only a quarter of an inch in width as well as high bows oi ribbon are used for trimming bonnets. Brown, beige and fawn color are the leading tints of grave colors. Pink will be much worn; tho new shade is called Venus. New sun umbrellas are out in handles finished with finely cut carnelian and agate balls, mounted in gold and silver swedges. The polonaise will be again much worn. When of plain material over a striped skirt the vest, collar, revers and large pockets are of velvet. The new Japanese parasols present a pleasing contrast with other styles in their entirely novel shapes, produced by the inverting of the ribs. Undressed kid gloves continue to find favor and are largely worn. Dressed kid gloves are also in style and come with elaborately embroidered backs. Cloth for jackets and waterproof has chinchilla stripes of the same color as the ground. Brown grounds with red crossbars are also used for the same garments. A parasol for carriage use has a sensible shape, the only wonder is that it had not been thought of before. The back and front are longei* than the sides, thus preventing collision if two are in use at tho same time. A Way Oat of the Difficulty. Mrs. Marmaduke?"Oh, dear I I have just been calling on Mrs. Flipperts and she showed me her baby. Such a thing. I did not know what to say. It was too awful for anything. A head and face like a Bartlett pear, a nose spreading all ovei like a batter cake, or two or three macaroons run together, no eyes, and a mouth that made one think of a jelloy fish 01 some such thing that squirms and opens and shuts that one sees in the aquairum. Oh, I declare, I was perfectly dumb, and I felt like a fool. I could not for the life of me think of anything to say." Mrs. Pii^adulix?"I have a standing phrase ready for all such emergencies." Mrs. Marmaduke?"Oh! Then in pity impart it to me, and I will call down eternal blessings on your head." Mrs. Papadulix?"Oh, it is very sim? pie; when ono of those amorphous infants is presented to mo I simply brighten up and say, 'Well that is a babyl' The mother takes it as a compliment, and 1 have not imperilled my everlasting soul." ^-Styling*.
