Dainty Pincushlon.
This is a good shape for an emery
cushion, which is useful to keep needles
free from rust, if their owners have
damp hands. A square of about five
inches must be lined with strong and
closely-made calico. into which the em-
ery powder is tied. The corners must
be cut off, and the top lined with silk
of a contrasting color, and arranged to
look like the petals of a flower.‘ A
little piece of silk worked with black
silk to look like the interior of a poppy,
finishes the cushion.
The Ideal Hostess.
She must make you feel individually
that you are the favored guest:
- She must make you feel perfectly at
home.
She must see everything, and yet
possess the art of seeming to see noth-
lng.
She must never look bored.
She must know how to get congenial
peeple together.
She must know how to keep conver-
sation always going.
She must never let anyone be Slight-
ed or overlooked.
She must know when to ask the am-
ateur musician to display his or her
talents. , '
She must be perfectly unselfish about
her own pleasures.
She must remember that nothing is
so tiresome, so surely death to all en-
Joyment, as the feeling that one. is
being entertained. i

Stockings.
Stockings should always be taken in-
to consideration. It is a great tempta-
tor evening use. During the day pock- _
at your vanity, and submit to protect-
ing the feet from the cold by wearing
tion to wear thin ones at all times,
especially if they are embroidered, for
they look so much nattier and pret-
tier; but, my dear friends, keep these
warm woolen stockings or thick ones
of some description. In the evening
the rooms are so much warmer than
in the daytime that there is not the
same likelihood of cold being taken
then, and to wear thick stockings in
the evening might make one feel un-
comfortably warm. If unable to drive
to evening entertainments, and neces-
sity compels going on foot. something
warm, such as gaiters should be worn,
which will prevent any chilliness from
the night air being felt.
New Spring Coats.
The new spring coats are very jaunty
Ind varied enough in style to suit every
figure. They are close fitting in the
back with loose box fronts or open
with revere turning back, which are of
satin covered closely with braid in
straight rows. There are strapped
seams and plain seams and coats with
belts, and the prettiest linings are of
liberty satin.
Plaid Popnknr in All Materials.
Plaids now appear in ginghams and
claim a share of the popularity given
to the same designs shown in wool and
silk goods. Some pretty patterns are
seen also in organdies and lawns, and
in delicate tints of the same color as
well as in the real tartan.

are praising Pensmith’s latest book."

too weak to be in any danger of get-
ting to the top by their help."—Cleve—

A Useful Cont.
A light weight Jacket is indispensable
for early spring and summer, and one
should be included in the wardrobe of
every well dressed woman. A smart.
little coat is in cadet blue, cloth, with
the collar and revers braided all over
I with black. The front is double breast-
fed and fastens invisibly with hooks, the
i left front being trimmed with large ob-
Hang buttons, while the edges are sev~

with three rows of machine stitching
at the wrist. '
Handsome Princes-e Gowns.
The graceful lines of some of the new
princesse dresses are certainly most ex-
quisite. Drap d’etes, Henriettes, and
some of the finer grades of cloth, are
now the most used for these gowns, and
onemodelof fawn gray drap d'ete is cut
to cling rather closely to the figure on
the front and sides, the front of the
bodice so slashed that very often more
of the handsome guimpe beneath shows
than the drap d’ete, the guimpe being
made of Persian brocade in a: medley
of soft, beautiful colors. On each side
of the skirt front, the seam is opened
and turned back, showing a V-shaped
insertion of the Persian brocade. On
a black drap d’ete, with guimpe of
black moire, these inserted paniers in
the skirt are omitted, but an old feat-
ure of the gown is a long scarf-like
length of black net, heavily jetted,
which goes over the shoulders and falls
to the very hem of the skirt. The close-
fitting coat sleeves have a tiny moire
puff. at the top overlaid with jetted
lace straps, and at the wrist they are
finished with a falling frill of pleated
chiffon, with a rufile of the lane above.
A Queer Fish.
In the Pacific Ocean among the isl-
ands of Santa. Barbara and in the lakes
of California there is a queer fish
which spends a lazy life, floating on the
surface for the most part of the time
and basking in the sunshine, with part
of his body out of the water. It is
called the molamoia- by the natives.
and the “mole" or “moon” fish by the
whites. Unlike other fishes, it has no
tail in the proper sense of the word,
only a kind of fringe acting as a kind
of rudder. It is sometimes over ten
feet across the fins, and round as a
bladder. Strange to say, it serves as a
floating island for large numbers of sea
birds, especially gulls and cormorants,
to rest upon and preen their plumage.
When chased, the indolent moon fish
dives like a duck, to re-appear further
off. Nevertheless, it would be easily
caught it the flesh were good to eat,
but it is so exceedingly tough that it is
really only fit to dry in the sun to form
a. substitute for india rubber balls.
_ -s.‘ ‘-..._
A dainty bodice is made up of a com-
bination of pale green flowered silk and
plain silk. It is arranged with a tight
fitting lining, the neck of which, back
plain material, set in plaits; back and
front yokes being out without a Seam
down centre, and each of the folds or
tucks run along previous to being laid
on the foundation. ' The lining bodice
hooks down the center, but the yoke is
brought across and fastens down the
left side. ‘
The material is gathered to the yoke
front and back, and over the shoulders
is a piece of passamenterie, terminat-
ing at either end in a trefoil design,
across the front being sewn to the yoke
edge. The basque is worn inside the
skirt and finished with a silk belt.
Tight fitting sleeves, with three chiffon
epaulets over the shoulder. '
Ginger Pudding.
Cook two ounces of butter and three
ounces of flour together for six minutes
(taking care the flour does not acquire
any color), then stir in by degrees half
ring until the mixture is thick and per-
fectly smooth; sweeten slightly with
castor sugar and put aside until cool.
Then add four ounces of preserved gin-
ger cut into small pieces, two table-
spoonfuls of the syrup (or more if not
sufficiently sweet), the yolks of two
well beaten eggs, and lastly. the whites
whisked to a. stifi froth. Pour at once
into a pie-dish lined with pastry and
bake in a quick oven for from twenty"
five to thirty minutes.
