DISSTON’S 
elaborate refreshments were served by inches bust measure 
a fashionable caterer, and the entertain- in five sizes, viz.: 22 
ment was quite a stylish affair. The most inches waist measure, 
impressive occurrence to me, however, 
was to see Harry’s papa playing horse 
with his young son. Certainly all the 
guests had not yet arrived, but some half 
dozen were already present. Harry did 
not feel well, and the indulgent father 
humored his least whim—Harry wished 
to play horse. Papa took his handker¬ 
chief, held one corner of it, and gave one 
corner to Harry ; then papa trotted back 
and forth, the length of two rooms, while 
Harry drove. It was a most edifying 
spectacle. 
Claribel has such a temper, they can do 
nothing with her. While mamma is talk¬ 
ing, she will break in and say, “ Why, 
no, mamma, that isn’t the way ; it was so 
and so.” I cannot name over the various 
children who constantly interrupt con¬ 
versations with “Who, mamma?”—but it 
is a disagreeable habit, which needs cor¬ 
rection. 
Good manners are like wings to a bird; 
they fairly carry one throug’h the world, 
and they cannot become the possession of 
any one who has not been well trained 
from babyhood. One might as well ex¬ 
pect to become an expert piano player 
who takes his first lesson when grown 
to maturity, as to hope to don good man¬ 
ners when he enters society, having been 
a stranger to them all his life. s. v. k. 
CRUMBS FROM DIFFERENT TABLES. 
Dark skies must clear, and when the clouds are 
past, 
One golden day redeems a weary year; 
Patient I listen, sure that sweet at last 
Will sound God’s voice of cheer. 
—Celia Thaxter. 
... .Frances E. Willard : “ Whatever 
diminishes the sense of supci-iority in 
men, makes them more manly, brotherly 
and pleasant to have about.” 
....Coleridge: “Look for the excel¬ 
lencies in everything you see and every 
person, but do not decline to see the de¬ 
fects, if they are there, and to refer to 
them.” 
_Edward W. Uok : “ It must not be 
forgotten that if every woman fulfilled 
her highest duties to the lives given into 
her keeping, the world would be a very 
different sort of place.” 
....Between the Lights: “Real fore¬ 
sight consists in reserving our own forces. 
If we labor with anxiety about the 
future, we destroy that strength which 
will enable us to meet the future.” 
....The Arena: “The profound in¬ 
sight of Jesus, which led Him to transfer 
the seat of actual criminality from the 
commission of the crime to the entertain¬ 
ment of the thought which fathered its 
execution, has been generally overlooked 
by modern theologians.” 
_James L. Hughes in The Arena : 
“ Woman suffrage will elevate the con¬ 
dition of both husband and wife. The 
wife will be emancipated from a subjec¬ 
tion pronounced by God to be a curse, 
and the husband will be saved from the 
debasing selfishness of believing himself 
to be the only member of his household 
worthy of being entrusted with the dig¬ 
nity of voting.”

6342. Ladies Cape. 6323. Paquin Skirt. 
The stylish cape here illustrated is 
made of black satin duchesse and emer¬ 
ald green velvet, trimmed with jet pas¬ 
sementerie. The cape consists of two 
portions, either of which may he worn 
separately with stylish effect. To give 
the proper flare, each cape must be in¬ 
terlined throughout with crinoline, can¬ 
vas or haircloth ; a lining of bright 
colored taffeta silk or satin, finishes the 
inside. The full flaring collar is made 
of velvet lined with satin, rosettes of 
velvet, satin, chiffon, or small flowers 
being placed at each side of the closing. 
Garniture of jet or lace points, inser¬ 
tion, moss silk, chiffon, or pinked out 
ruchings of silk are all fashionable for 
decoration. A combination of the dress 
material with silk, velvet or moire, 
makes a stylish cape. 
The paquin skirt is of the circular 
variety, and fits smoothly in front and 
over the hips, the top edge being held 
easy when sewed to the belt. This has 
been published before; either pattern 
for 10 cents. The cape pattern is cut in 
five sizes, viz.: 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40
