A Stylish Toilette.

A novel and handsome costume turn-
ed uu". reCently by a well known dress-
maker is of checked velvet in two
shades of violet. The bodice is a sort
of double breasted bolero, cut in an
elaborate mannerand fastening with
two large ,‘ueweletl buttons. This is out.—

lined with plain satin and is worn over
a vest and yoke of violet velvet, made
with high crush collar. The sleeves
also represent the elaborate scheme
employed on the waist. A violet vel-
vet toque adorned with a wired velvet
bow and a fluffy plume completes this
stylish toilette.

 

Buying Table Linen.

The young housekeeper buying hei
outfit of table linen will find it an econ-
my to provide a generous supply of
tray cloths and carvers’ cloths. These
for general use need not be embroider-
ed, and are preferable, indeed, of hem-
stitched finish or fringed. They are a
genuine saving to the large cloth be-
neath, and, being much more, easily
laundered, can be renewed with great
frequency. It is the practice of an old
houseleeper, who is an adept at line
hemsti§ching, to cut up the best parts
of a fine tablecloth which shows signs
of wear into a set of cloths. Where
the art of such decoration is unac-
quired, the cloth may be neatly hem-
med and. finished with an edge of linen
torchon.

 

To Clean the Bearings.
Many riders make the mistake of
thinking that in order to clean out
bearings it is necessary to take these to
pieces. This is a most egregious error,
and acting upon it nearly always
causes more harm than good. Balls
get lost or misplaced, and many acci-
dents are clearly traceable to the tink-
ering with a machine indulged in by
some incompetent person. Much the
preferable plan is to fill the oil-can
with kerosene, and thoroughly syringe
out the bearings without taking them
apart. A strip of soft cloth wound
round the outside ends of the bearings
will prevent the paraflin from running
down the spokes, and making an un—
pleasant mess round the tires.

An Old Fashioned Stitch.

‘l‘he old-fashioned cross-stitch, some-
what enlarged and done over a. stamped
design rather than on canvas, is very
popular this season. A new floss, too,
that is heavy and silken in appearance,
but is not so expensive as the silk floss,
is used to work out these simple but
artistic and effective designs. In ta—
ble-centers and tea—cloths the Oriental
effects, new last season, are in still

. greater vogue. These cloths when ctr-

cular have an inverted and broken
scallop or scroll which is worked in a
different but harmonizing color. A
curious pattern seen on one such cloth
strongly suggested a Turkish rug, the
angular lines cleverly brought, how-
ever, into a circle.

Origin of the Barber Pole. -

It was formerly customary for bar-
bers to perform the minor operations in
surgery, and it was usually to a barber
that anybody wishing to be bled, ap-
plied.

To assist in the operation is‘was nec«
essary for the patient to grasp a pole
firmly in order to distend the vein in
the arm from which the blood was to

 

‘ be taken.

When the pole was not in use it was
placed outside the door as a sign that
bleeding was done within.

 

Woman’s Diet.

When her liver is sluggish and her
complexion is not all that she could
wish it to be, a woman will find a few
weeks’ diet an excellent means of res-
toration.

eaten. especially early in the morning.

A NEIGHBORLY CALL

“Dill,” said Ann: Maria, the day
after Dill began her visit. “‘I want
you to .do an errand for me.”

“All ri_ghat,'Auntie,” said Dill, jumps
ing up and seizing her hat. She
wasn’t the girl to refuse to do anv-
thing helpful. -

“Our seamstress,” said her aunt, “is
very poor, and has to support her
lame mother and her own little girl.
She cannot get much work, and is
worried all the time. Her birthday
and her mother’s and the little girl’s
birthday all come on the same day,
and it is this very day. I am' going
to give her my geranium, which isn’t
much. But Mrs. Grace has white
Chrysanthemums, and she'w’ill give
me some, I know, if you will go after
them.”

“I!“ g0,”
she live?”

“TVell,” said her aunt, “as you go,
turn first to the left, walk two blocks
——no, three blocks—then turn to the
right, and the third house you will
see Chrysanthemums in the yard.
' Tell Mrs. Grace
about the birthdays and ask for some
flowers.” ,

Dill started out, well pleased with
her errand. he liked to be trusted

'said Dill. “eriere does

and have responsibility. It was a
clear, sunny day, and the unfamiliar
town looked very pleasant. She turn-

ed to the left. walked two blocks.
and then turned to the right, but
there was no flowers in the third yard.
It was the fourth that glowed -with
Chrysanthemums, red, white and yel-
low.

“Whose garden is this?” asked Dill
of a passer-by, so as to be sure.

“Mrs. Gray’s,” said be.

So Dill stepped in and seeing a lady
and a little boy on the piazza, she
went to them and said, in her bright
little confident way:

“My Aunt ’Ria says. will you please
give her some Chrysanthemums for
the seamstress, because she is poor
and her mother is lame, and her girl
little, and it is the birthday of all three
of them to-day. Aunt ’Ria hasn’t
anything but geraniums, but she will
give thcun, and she said you would
give some flowers, she knew”.

“Who is your aunt?” asked the lady,
smiling. '

“Mrs. Maria Avery, around two cor-
ners from here. You don‘t know me,

because I only came yesterday. I’m
Dill Avery.”
“Let’s give her some flowers.

mamma,” said the little boy.

“She says the seamstress gets worri-
ed, and don’t have work enough. and
the flowers may brighten her birth-
day,” continued Dill.

“Now, Rupert,” said his mother,
“let me get my gloves and scissors,
and we will go among the flowers.”

So out they all went together among
the Chrysanthemums, which were cer-
tainly wonders; some tiny as buttons,
some just a sweet, natural size, and
some as big as oranges or even as big
as cocoanuts. Dill thought to herself.

“I never saw such a handsome gar-
den,” said Dill. “In Melford, where
I live, the flowers are all killed with
the frost.”

“Frost can’t hurt ours,” said Ru-
pert. “See, we pull the awning down
over them every night. Here’s our
pansy 'bed. Mamma, I want to send
pansies to the poor lame woman.”

“Very well,” said his mamma,
"l‘rin: 'a basket, and you may fill it
illlll carry it for Dill."

There were chrysanthenmms, car—
n'ations, sweet peas, pansies and even
Some la-te roses heaped ‘up in that
basket before the gathering was done,
beside all that Dill had in her hand.

“There. that will be a. pretty good .

birthday.” said Rupert, exultantly.

“It will be 'a beautiful birthday,”
said Dill, “and we will tell her th
flowers came from your garden, Mrs.
Grace.”

“Never mind that.” said the lacy,
lightly. “Now. Rupert, help Dill carry
them home." «

Aunt Maria had gone to the door
the third time to look for Dill, when
she saw her turning the corner, with
a little boy in a velvet suit at her
side. hardly to be seen for the quanti-
ty of flowers he carried.

"Have you been to paradise, Dill?"
was all she could think of to say.
(“‘No." said Dill, merrily. “It was
just Mrs. Grace’s garden and there are
thousands more flowers left."

“Which way did you go?” asked
Aunt Maria. .

"‘Oli, just as you said. To the left,
then two blocks, and then to the right.
But it was the fourth house, not the
third; and auntie, they have awnings
to cover t.1e flowers nights.”

“Child" said her aunt, “you have
been to the Mayor's house, Mayor
Gray’s. and I never spoke to her in
my life. nor she to me!”

“I don’t care,” .nid Dill, stoutly,
though the color flew into her cheeks.
“I don’t care. it will make a beautiful
birthday 3"

So it did, indeed, and that was not
the end of it. Steady work and good
prices followed after. and no seam-
stress could carry a heavy heart who
had Mrs. Avery and the Mayor’s wife
both for customers—Youths Compan-

WideSpread Fame.

Vinol, the new tonic reconstructor, is being
talked of in papers not only in this country,
but abroad. Vinol is recognized as a. bona
tide discovery and is prescribed as such by
the best physicians. Now that we are able to
get the active curative principles from the cod’s
liver, free from the grease and vile-smelling
fat, we have taken great strides towards even—
tually eliminating wasting diseases.

Mr. M. F. Flynn, the well known chemist
of Haverhill, Mass, speaking of the wide-
spread popularity of Vinol, says :—

“In my experience as a. chemist I have
never known of an article that has been so
widely commented upon as has been Viuol.
The fact that the Lancet of London, one of the
leading medical journals of the world, has
Spoken so highly of this discovery, should
in itself be a guarantee of its efficacy."

We do not think it strange that Vinol is be-
ing talked about. Nothing before ever gave
such satisfaction and no remedy has ever
been discovered that proved from the very
start the truth of all that has been claimed. for
it. as has Vinol Yours very truly,
