C. Gardner, an echitect of Springfield.

Gardoer traly observes in emclnding, aad tbersin jugtly magnifies his of- fe, “They ara the world's best benefactors ehose work maker happier homes.” The rather desuitory discuesion covers nearly esery topic, from the eelection of the sito to tho installation of the family in the completed rooze. The treatment of moet of tho subjects is off-haed, but is reailly based on sound scien- ific principles. Tho good sense s not merely common sopse, but trained end expericaced cense. A professional architect, with a per- vading consciouszess of the tocbnical dignity of i vocation, and with a controlling purpose to maks magnificent plans for Crasus, and be mag- pificently pid for them,—such an architect will find notbing to bis purpose 1o Mr. Gardner's uo- peetending book. But any man who hes a mod- erate, though iu its way a sufiicient, sum to build 2 home for his family, and w23 wishes . baild a home that shall promote health, com- fort, convenience, and yet bo attractive outside and ingide ; who wishes hishoms to be commo- dious for hia own household, and insiting to the gucs!s who visit him,—such a man will find a great deal of useful, seusible, practical sugnes- tian ir. Gardner believes that, if you buiida bouse in carnest, and 10 exprezs your 1dez of what & bouso for & home should be, you are engaged in s SOLEMN LUSINESS, Dot only influencing your Iellow-men, but re- vosling your own cheracter: 1f you aro disposed to ibvestizzte the matter, you will find that tho history of naticns may bo clearly freced in the visible moral expression of the homes of {2 people,—in the portsble Lome-tents of tae Arabs ; the howely rolidity of the houses in Germany and Holiasnd; tho choerful, wide spreading bospitality of Switzerland ; the supcrficial elegancoand extravagance of Frauce; the thoroughuess and self-sssertion of the Euglish; and in the beterogeneous conglomerations of Amierica, msde up of importations from evers land £nd nation under the eun,—a con:tant striving and ATging,—a mass of problems yet nosolved, ‘Hc insists upon honesty 1n honse-building.

FASHIONM. - Black the Costuma of the Day. stodel Brosses for Viinter—Their Faterial, and Hew They Are Nade. How a Man Can Asceriain the Expenso of Viomen’s Apparel. Yeams ago, men usurped bright colors aud costly fabrics in dress, sud went moro gayly clad than the most prononce dame of tha present timo would dere to do. Faney auy man of the present day, howeser, rushing 2bout in a bluo velvet doublet, ecarlet cloak, lmeo-breeches, silk hose, diamond buekles, ete. A few, no doubt, woumld liko to do so.—iLat class who now are radiant in scarlet neck-ties, exagperated shirt-frozts, and diamond 8 radiant as that wondrous carbuccle of the White Hills. Custom is against it, however, and we rarely sce eny very wide devistion from eober black or gray in o maw's apparel, unless some quack takes that way of advertising him- gelf. Even tho English innovation of blue coat and light trowsers for morning-weddings is looked upon with distrust, unless the person is very sure of himzelf, and equally certain of his tailor. It would scem also that women’s appar- clis rapidly approacking o similar standard of gravity 1 color, nt least for strest-wear. Ever since Eugenie, with her love for her national costume, introduced black into dress as suitable for all sorts of toilettes, and not simply as sig- mificant of beresvement, it has grown into public favor, until at last it way Le £aid to e TUE COSTUME OF TOI: DAY, from which anything approsching a decided color is merely a deperture. . Even the tints thet are offered in place of Dblack all approach it very mearly ; or elso the monotone shades, tlst aro equally unmarked in themselves, aro substituted. Grays aud cerus bear tho eame relicf in trimming thot black itselt does, nod, it, aro ecarcely more pronounced. For wi however, black i3 the only wear ; or, if ¢! going too far, 1t is still sulliciently preferred to miake enything approsching color exceptioual. The raugo of malerials to choose from is very wido,—velvet, il of various make and design, camel's bair in the differing qualities, Henrietta cloth, alpzca, mohair, popliz, aud all the many goods that como botween theso; while, perhaps, supreme above all, wo may mention cashmero. This bas become as much an essential in a lady’s wardrobo as black eilk, and is equally safe to purchage. It is of these black dresces, and how to mako them, that wo intend to epeak mora egpecially this week. MODEL DREESLS FOR WINTER are now being made with black velvet skirts and cashmere ovor-dresses, really very lse a loog polongise. Thess over-dresses ato of geuuine \ndia cashmere, and are not always of black, but frequensly 1 pale-roso, bine, and gray ehades. They aro very lovg, and looged over the velve: wiart, These, wo may romark cn_passant, aro fotonded for house-drceses, aud will not be par- ticularly common ; norcan we dmit that acheap imitation, in velveteen and common cashmere, would be at all desirablo from an esthetic point of view. Velvet wiil be vers much worn during tho winter, and satin will put 1u 2 claim to be recoguized a8 a desirable fabric. A proper costumo for @ reception willbea black velvet petticoat, over which wiil bo worn a deep poiuted apron over . claborately em- broidered with lcss end blue steel. The sleeves will be of velvet, and the cuirasse will match the over-skirt. Tho sapient printer or proof-reader made us say, in & previous article, that theso dregses would cast from £3.50 to £5. Vihen be goos to buy ono for his wife, we hope bo will bo ablo to gev it at tuat price; but wo put the de- cimal point after the last cipler when we wrote aboutit. Next time he mizht add that * Chil- dren cry for them,” by way of compicting the absurdity. For thie especial benetit of the genus homo, who are so wildly at sea about;the expeare of women's apparel, we would suggest that euch man order bhimself A DRESS SUIT OF VELVET AND SILK,— a velvet cont with silk vest and trowsers ; and that bo ehall havo these eisborately embroidered with sk and bluo stesl, with frills of Chantilly and Poing d'Alencon laca, Then, when the tail- or sends in tho bill, let him multiply it by ten (as his wife's dress will at least contain ten times the material aud trimming that suit will contain), and ho will arrivo at some definite idea of what a womau's dress may bo estimated at ; whilo he must also remember that this garmont s but ono among many. If he doesnt want to wear tho suit, Lio cau bang 14 up where bo can look at it ; and 'then, when his wife's bills comg on, instead of grambling, just multiply 33 beforo for ono suit, and thew multiply ngain by any number from five upwards for the variety she will re- quirc to bo decent. It mey not mske him feel bapps, but he will have learned something. "And ow to get back to ourmutions : Another dress had o tablier of &ilk in vertical pufls, very wide, nnd separated by rolls of velvet. Tho vel- vet skirt was mado quite plain, but trimmed around tho bottom with s garuiture of Chantilly, mado expressly for it. Thie passed up the front 1o the waist, The cuirasse-waist was very loug, £itting the hips closely as armor, from whick it sots ita name. This was of velvet, also trimmed with lace, while the puffed sleeves of silk wero separated by bands of velvet, and the neck: and wriats were finished with point-lace frills. A jacket of matellasse silk, cdgedwith 2 trimming of cock’s Teathers, and o bonzet of black velvet, thn toft erown plaited 5o ay to form a capo or curtain, made A CALRIAGE-DE] of this. Toe bonnet was turzal up in front, nith dark Japuneso roses for face-trimmings, much lace, a cluster of ostrich-tips, aud a_black bird with crimson breast and wiogs. Palest pearl-gray gloves nccompapy it, and & jowelod awmounicro of Etruscan gold. It is a very stately, becomiag suit, and quite at the wervice of the American dames Rothschild. Another drees, of heavy black faille, has the ekirt quito plain, with demi-train. A vers elizht Jongitudinal pinting givos tho least possiblo suggestion of bouilaut drapery. This eatire skirt is laced closely to tho figura by the in- sortion of long triangular picces_of drilling, ap- proaching the ecalene shape, which aro eewed in at tho second ride-scam, and then laced closely from top to bottom. This will mecessitato the lowest possible carriage, if ueed for attending receptions : for any very wide or bigh step will be impossible to the wearer. It, howerver, pro- duces thai VEERE < LOSE-REEFED LOOK which is the proper thing now, and of courze muse bo adopted, no_matter how inconvenicut it may bo to wear.

Over tuis closely-laced ekirt is an overskirt, which really consists of three aprous,—ihe un- der on reaching the dress-her, and two more, each & quarter of a yard shorter than the one beneath it. Theso aro trimmed with a fino jet- ted Iace. 'The basquo is plaited in the back, and | tho eleeves aro & euccession of points fnmmed with lsce, and ccught togother by a jet button over a longitndinal puff. They flare elightly at the wrist, and kave ruflles of the Dlack lace and full plaitings of fine Malines. Cut co fichy, tee neck is finished in the eame way. A sitk pocket, with jot tassels and em- broidery, hangs at the eido. The Lesquo is cut longer in front than behind, and is just the enmo distance from the bottom of tho upper apron as that is from the one bencaih 1t, £o that the tab- lier bas the effect of four semi-circalar skirts. ‘Another black silk dress has the tablier and side-gores cut in deep scallops turned backward, g0 that ouo scam over-laps the other. Those acallops sro bound with pale-blue satin, aad 3 jet bucton is placed in each. The overdress, of Pale biue cashmere, is a polonaise with basque back. It is cat quite high io the throat, scallop- ed to the waist liue, and then spreads widely apart to show tho dreas-front. 1t is merely pined with blue satin, and stitched at the edzes. Flaring coat-slecves slashed to the elbow, and fillod in with Malines lace, with a_racho of the szme at tho throat, inside the flaring coliar. ‘So much for silk dresses ; and now to look at LSS EXPENSIVE GOUDS, aad how thew are made.

A singio Towof very wido jet-galodn trains the back, whilo five rows pazs sround tho pointed frout.

Aftera while Natty looked up. Tho boat had changed its direction, and thoy +raro out of sight of tho islaud, the bay-—ont of sight of overytning, it scomed to the girl. She would have sprung up, but George Garactt threw his armabout hor, and held herdown beside him.

IIelooked at the unhappr girl besido him, and his lip quiv- ered, as always when the man's feolings wore strongly moved. He hesitated a moment—thon called to the boatman. “\Ve cannot go back,” sngwerod tho boat- man. * We couldn’t budge an inch in the face of this wind. If we evercome out of this ali wo'll do well.

It roquired ull the buatman'sskill, assisted by the now very penitent Geargo Garnott, to manage tho boat.

In balf an hour more they were walking upthe vonerayls Sandasky wharf together. “What was tho use,” said Natty, “of bring- ing mo ncross the 1ake nnd nearly drowning me totell mo that you loved me, when you could have dona it so_mach morg comforiahly in the paclor at homo 2" The steamer from Sandusky that morning car- ried to Put-in-Bay a very meek and sabdued young lady and gentloman, looking something as Fou havo scen two runaway horves fook that have beon ducked in the river.
