Dresses for Three-Year-Olds.—N el¬ 
lie, Goffstown.—Keep your three-year-old. 
boy in dresses another year. The kilt suits, 
with plain high waists, and worn with 
jacket, are the prettiest. Illustrations have 
been given in Rural. Tho skirts are laid 
in overlapping side plaits, from top to bot¬ 
tom. For a dress suit, dark blue cloth, of 
pressed flannel, poplin, merino, or satinet, 
trimmed with white or black braid; a 
turban or sailor hat, a ruffle or collar at tho 
neck, with a pink necktie; high button 
boots, with stockings suspended well above 
the knee. 
A Dress for Spring, Head-Dross, Etc. 
— Gertrude. —For a dress for “ spring and 
winter” wear, get bluok silk, cashmere, 
empress doth, or alpaca, as you can afford. 
•Plaids” are worn by children and young 
girls, but should ncbt r be chosen by a full 
grown woman, if she wishes to dross herself 
in the best taste. If a woman is ugly, a 
plaid dress only magnifies her ugliness, 
and ugly women are very sure to buy 
plaided gowns. The basque waist is still 
fashionable. “ How can you make a head¬ 
dress to wear with a curled chignon?” 
Head-dresses are only worn by matrons, 
and they arc made of points of luce, with 
lace ends falling at the back, und relieved 
with bows of bright ribbon. Young women 
wear braids of hair, or bands and bows of 
ribbon. Chignons are worn by some, but 
the small, compact coils of braid or loose, 
twist of hair, very simply arranged, are in 
better taste and in newer style. Ribbons 
worn in the hair and at the throat should 
be of the same color, unless that in the hair 
bo black. A variety of colors suggests a 
barber’s pole, or Joseph's coat. “ Should a 
persou return a call made in her absence, 
when she hcarB of it through a third per¬ 
sou?” If the third person was requested to 
inform you of the call having been made, or 
a card left, it would be In keeping with eti¬ 
quette for you to return it. 
Serving Tea and Coffee After Din¬ 
ner.— Housekeeper. —At dinner, all bev¬ 
erages, such as tea, coffee, cocoa, etc., should 
bo served after dessert. To serve it at the 
beginning or middle of the meal, signifies 
that you either do not understand nr do not 
cai’o for society usage in that respect. 
Water may he poured when soup is served, 
and a glass should be at every plate. 
Coloring Red Hair.— Jennie C. is in¬ 
formed that if we had red hair we would 
not color it, but try to render it as beauti¬ 
ful and becoming as wo could by taking 
good care of it. No other color could be so 
well adapted to your complexion and fea¬ 
tures—no other color could render you more, 
beautiful and attractive. Never sail under 
false colors! 
Embroidei’ed Toilet Pincushion. — 
This ornamental pit cushion (see page 1(53) is 
made on a circular cushion 0 inches in di¬ 
ameter, the bottom being of thick paste- 
boai’d. the sides of strong calico, and the 
stuffing of bran. Cover the bottom with 
calico, sew a strip of calico 0 inches wide 
round the edge, draw up the other side of 
the calico strip so as to hold the bran, and 
stitch a small round piece of calico over tho 
gathers. Thou take two strips of blue silk 
2 inches wide, end pinked on one side; one 
strip must bo 52 inches long, the other 30 
inches; pleat up the long strip into 10 
double pleats, the strips into eight pleats, 
and sew them on the cushion according to 
illustration. Now cut out the star-shaped 
figure in white cloth, pinking out the edges, 
and embroider the design with colored braid 
and silk, and fasten it to the top of t he 
cushion, so that the points of the star tit in 
betweeu the pleats of the silk. 
Embroidered Lamp-Gl ha Cover.— 
(See page 185.) This cover consists of two 
pieces of cardboard covered with cloth. 
Cover the lower piece with white cloth em¬ 
broidered with red silk, and line it with red 
cloth, overcasting the white and rod cloth 
together round the edges. Cover the upper 
portion witli red cloth, embroider according 
to illustration with white silk, overcast the 
edges, and sew on a colored t assel at the tip 
of each point. Lay tho red piece over the 
white piece, betid down the tabs and points. 
Sew on a colored silk knob and a brass ring, 
worked over with silk in t in* center, and 
add a bead fringe round the bottom. 
Vignette for Handkerchief. — This 
pretty design (see page 165) may be worked 
on cambric or lawn in a variety of stitches 
with French embroidery cotton; or it may 
be executed in silk.* on velvet or leather for 
albums, writing cases, etc. 
Muslin Collar.—On page 1(55 we give a 
design for a muslin collar, trimmed with 
lace quilling, which explains itself.
