When a lace veil is worn, it 1s difficult to ‘imagine a more elegant dress. | It ean be combined very effectively with white satin, but it must be skilfully done. with little or no elaberation. The steeves and neck should be finished with arich lace. The only objection to a plush dress is, one could hardiy wear it in summer, while a satin or less heavy material can be worn at ail times. Wire Ve.ver or uncut velvet is a very soft, handsome material, banging in graceful folds Bot so obtrusively thick as plush and much easier to manage. White Ottoman silk is Vorite material this winter; it has all the charm of novelty. and for wedding dresses for the spring it will be much used. The colored Otto- it te it can be bought in ilities are very great; especially handsome, ; One can Make almost anything out of it, it is so seft and pliable. A Very Hanpsove Dress of electric blue Ot- toman silk, und embossed velvet the same shade, ‘was made, the skirt trimmed with four flounces, two inches deep. Just above the last gathered with a heading, was the tunic of embossed velvet, basque of the same. The tunic was 4 with satin and caught up on one side with « very handsome beaded butter- fly. The basque was perfectly plain, the em- bossed velvet being so rich as to require ‘searcely any trimming, A Very Uservr as well as ornamental dress 14s a combination of black plush and black Otto- Mansilk.

MRS. WARDEN’S CLUB Young and beautiful Mrs. Warden was bac! on her visitto her far Eastern home. For 18 long months she lived, or existed, as she phrased it, in the small western town to which as a bride she had gone. Her friends all pitied her and she pitied herself that so much youth, beauty and accom- plishments were wasted on the unapprecia- tive air of Jonesville,on the line of the A. Z. Tailroad. Yet it could not well be helped. Her husband was a prominent railroad official, and, as superintendent ot a new branch of a ‘ailroad, he was obliged to be stationed at one of the termini of his division, and Jonesville was the place. When Mrs. Warden opened her tranks and shook ont her almost untouched wedding dresses. she discovered that they were some- what out of fashion. “It's utter foily for any one going to live in west to take such a wardrobe as this Imagine my going calling in BS 01 Imagine how "sand ruffles and fringes on d snagzy sidewalks of the nae to exist?” was the inquiry of one of her frlends.

What suggestion have you to make as to my mode of life?” * You oucht to mingle with and take an in- terest in the people of the town. You have means and leisure. Doubtiess there are many young people. many busy and careworn women in that little town to whom you could be a con- stant messenger of good if you tried.” “How? In what way?” Well, you sing and play beautifully. Do you e any of those people the opportunity of Ting you?” No, never.” You read beautifully; your mind is culti- vated and stored with knowledge. Do youever try to share these acquirements with your young neighbors, perhaps less favored than you?” “1 never thought of such a thing.” “Would your husband object?” he would only be too delighted to have me take an interest in any thing in Jonesville. Itisaconstant grief to him that I am so iso- lated and b no amusements.” “Weil, now, myGear, when you go back, take my advice and associate yourself more with the people; try todo them good; try to. interest yourself and them in some kind of social enjo: ment and life.

She that “‘keitle drums” and soirees, sand other entertainments would be me as to how of sufficient musica! cultivation among the people. But when one afternoon she went with one of her friends to the meeting of a woman's literary club, and the next week attended an ing reception given by the club, to which en were invited; when she saw a social n Which had for a basis intellectual companionship only, in which neither fashion- able dress nor costly and elaborate refresh- ments Were essential—sne began to wonder whether or no such a social institution could be introduced at Jonesville, thereby breaking the monotony of life and giving the people something to think about. The idea grew upon her as she thought over it, and she was surprised to find when the time came for her to return that her plan of organ- izing a club ao filled her fancy that she was even eager to start. On the way she told her hus- band of her plan, and as is not unusual with husbands when wives present projects, he eaw a great many difficulties in the way which, with- ut meaning particularly to discourage her, be laughingly enumerated. “So you mean to enlist the bright women and leave out the stupid ones? You'll have the whole town about your ears, for that would require you to include Miss Phelps. the mil- liner, and exclude Mrs. Haller, the banker's wife.” “*{ shan’t exclude Mrs. Haller. but I shall in- clude Miss Phelps. She is one of the must in- telligent and best-mannered ladies in Jones- ville. Iam going to put In practice the theory I have always held, that those who work for a iving are Just as good asthose who do nothing. I rather fancy my position is such that I can do as I please, socially,” and Mrs. Warden straizht- ened herself up a little and looked proudly at her husband. At one point in their journey a connecting train brought quite an accession of passengers, among them a gentleman with whom Mr. War- den seemed to be well acquainted and on most friendly terms. He was accompanied by his newly made wife, a pleasant looking, neatly dressed lady, and they were returning from their wedding trip. Mr. Warden introduced Mr. and Mrs. Harmon to his wife and then he and his friend betook themselves to the smoking car. Observing that the lady had in her hand a volume of See poems in the original, Mrs. Warden asked her she read German, and learned that the lady was a German by birth, although she spoke without the slightest ac- cent. Their conversation turned upon German lit- erature and poetry, and when at the end of an hour Mr. Warden returned his wife told him what a pleasant acquaintance she had formed, and what a valuable member tothe club Mrs, Harmon would make. “Tam glad to hear cam are pleased with Mra. Harmon,” sajd Mr. Warden. “I understand there was great deal of talk at Jonesville about Mr. Harmon marrying her. It hasall be- come public sinceyou went east. Mr. Harmon is very wealthy, you know, and one of the most influential men at Jonesville, but has been con- sidered s most confirmed bachelor. This lady came to Jonesville about a year ago with the family of Mr. Harmon's brother, as a sort of nursery governess for their children. The brother's wife died, and for eome time afterward the whole care of the family was given over to Marie Bergleman, now Mra. Harmon. Nobody, it seems, had ever noticed her much and she had no associates in the town, when it suddenly became known that Mr. James Harmon was go- ing to mi his brother’s housekeeper. Since then it has the town talk and great indig- ee oe as I learn, by the good matrons and young women of the place over the fact. How do you think you'll manage that matter in your club?” : Mrs. Warden did not at once reply. In fact, she was a little taken aback herself. However, she determined to take further opportunity to judge Mrs. Harmon from personal observation, and during the long western ride she had sey- eral conversations with the lady, held with a special view to discovering the qualities ot her mind and heast. Her decision, as announced to den meant to propose when she got them to- gether, whether they would be expected to in their best clothes, and similar ee Two days before the time the invita- tions, Mrs. Warden received a joint call from Mrs, Haller, the banker’s wife, and the wife of one of the principal building contractors of the town. Mrs. Haller was a large, over-dreased. woman, who never for one instant, forgot that her husband was a banker, and Mrs. Jones, the —_contractor’s wife was 8 little, thin, fidgety woman, whose one sole opel was to get her famtly into the best society and conceal the fact that her hus- band had once been a carpenter. Both of the ladies had been included by Mrs. Warden in her invitations, inasmuch as they represented fami- 's and interests which she would not wish to ignore. Both ladies, however, seemed some- what embarrassed, as they had talled on + per ticular errand, and that they hoped Mrs. War- den would excuse them It Gad seemed to med- dle, but really they thought she ought to know some things which, perhaps, she did not. Mrs. Warden was all attention. “We heard that you had invited Mrs. Harmon to the Meeting to-morrow. Perhaps it isn’t true.’ have Invited Mrs. Harmon. Why * Did you know that none of the of the town have ever *Thave called on her. not call?’ “Why, didn’t you know? She was nothing but a hired housekeeper at Mr. Harmon's brother's. We all consider it perfectly outra- geou he way she inveigled him into marrying her. We are snre that if it was really known that Mrs. Harmon was invited, many of the ladies would not com Warden’s color was crimson in a moment. es,” she said, “I formed Mrs. Harmon's atance on my way back from the east. I othing of her before, but I found her an nt, well-bred lady. It makes no differ- ence tome what her occupation has been, so long as it was an honest one. I shall certainly show her the courtesy and kindness due to in- nee and good sense everywhere, and al- ways accorded by honorable people.’ In my 8s for a d literary club I have inclu- intellig erever [have been able to find it. y ladies whom I have invited see fit to object that is their privileze.” Tt was observed that Mrs. Haller and Mrs. Jones made several calls after leaving the par- lors of Mrs. Warden that afternoon. The intended errand of the ladies had been known to a good many who were anxious to know the result. By evening it was generally known through the town that Mrs. Warden was going to stand by Mrs. Harmon. It was also known that Miss Phelps, the milliner, and Miss May, the telegraph operator, and Miss Wood, the saleswoman in the principal store of the town, had been invited. “Such an outrageous and high-handed at- tempt to force the acquaintance of those people on us I never heard,” was Mrs. Jones’ comment, toher husband that evening; but I suppose Mrs. Warden thinks she can do anything be- cause her husban rich and holds such a high position on the railroad. If I had my way we would all combine and put her down. I'd show her if she could force the goclety of such people on me.” ‘The next day a strange thing happened. Mrs. Harmon haa more than a dozen calls. The ladies who called generally came singly and seemed surprised and confused at meeting other callers. All were protuse in their apolozies for not having called before. Mrs. Harmon had the good sense not to appear. at all surprised, oung ladies ed on her?” Pray, why do they sudden stream of social attention. The ladies all spoke of expecting to meet her at Mrs. War- den’s parlors the next afternoon, and hoped to know her better. But the surprise of the ladiea of Jonesville was only complete when, after the meeting had bee 1 to order and its objects explained, Mrs. Warden said that a part of the entertain- nent of the afte: chiller would be read by Mrs. Harmon. Befor the paper was coneluded the majority of the listeuers were wondering who in the company ‘ould write another paper as good. seemed to realize that a new standard had been set up among'them, and when in the organiz- ion of the club M chosen vice- d Miss Phelps was made secretary, ined with a hearty good will in accepting the fact that brains, intelligence and good sense to be the basis of distinction In Mrs. War- den’s club. It is more than three years now since M Warden organized her club, and it has been ever since the great® social institution and educator of the people of Jonesville. By the. terms of admission any lady whose intelligence would enable her to add something to the intellectual resources of the club was eligibie to election as amember. Many a young girl was stimulated to intellectual culture or to the study of music or to extensive and careful reading in order that she might be able to present some claims for ad- mission. The members of the club were divided into special committees on music, literature, amusements, etc., and each committee vied with the reat in providing for the interest and prog- Tess of the club. Mrs. Warden’s splendid musical gifts were brought into requisition and her committee, which was the one on music, was the means of elevating the musical taste of the whole town. The evening receptions given by the club once a month brought toxether the rich and poo! employers and employed, on the one common b: of intelligence and good manners. To these evening receptions gentlemen, both mar- ried and single. were invited, the club being inade up of both married women and young girls. The only line drawn in regard to invi- tations to young gentlemen was that no one who was known to be fast, or profane or intem- perate could come within’ the charmed circle, while honesty and intellizence were ever wel- come, Music, the reading of essays, discus- sions. readings and recitations were among the entertainments provided. And now as Mrs. Warden once more contemplates making a long visit to her far eastern home, one of the pleasures she anticipates is that of telling Aunt Mary of all the delightful times they have ac- complished in her literary and gocial club at Jonesville. ————-e-______ CONCERNING JOHN BAKRLEYCORN, A Denler fells How Larze Profits are Made from Diluted Whisky.

Dr. D. B. St. John Roosa offered the filo’ Tesolution: ‘Resolved, That the Medical Society of the County of New York approves of the amendment of the by-laws of the Medici ty of the State of New York, adopted at the annual meeting in Feb- ruary, 1882, and that we indorse the system of medical ethics therein substituted for the former one, expressly because it leaves the matter of consultation to the discretion, the honesty and the humanity or the individual practitioner. And although we decline to instruct our dele- gates to the state society, we respectfully re- commend to our representatives that they labor for the further simplification of the system ot medical ethics, until it shall not contain specific rules for the regulation of professional etiquette, but only authorized procedure against conduct plainly unworthy a physician or a gentleman.” Mr. H. G. Piffard offered an amendment that the matter be leftto the judgment of the dele- gates to the state society. Dr. Roosa said he offered his resolution in good faith. The argu- ments against the new code center around the method of consultation, which should be left to the discretion ofthe physicians. Dr. Garnish said this was a very important period in the history of the society. It was time to stop this sort of thing, that a small min- ority could control a majority.. He thought it all wrong that some parties should have gone to Albany and should have had a law of ethics en- acted without knowing whether the physicians wanted it or not. He was happy to say he had never consulted with a homeophathist; he had too much respect for them [loud and continued applause]; he would haye very little respect for himself should he consult with them. Dr. Andrew H. Smith said he was opposed to doginas of all kinds, and he thought the do: matists had been treated in the past as the wished to be treated, and he thought they should now be treated as they did not want to be treated. Dr. Abraham Jacobi sald he was opposed to | Dr. Roosa’s motion, as it practically instructed the delegates, and a resolution to that effect had been voted down a week ago. He thought they should go uninstructed and unbiased. Dr Réosa then witndrew the latter part of his resolution. Dr. Piffard said he would withdraw his aniendment. Dr. Dwyer then offered the following substitute for Dr. Roosa’s motio1 “Resolved, That the Medical Society of the County of 'New York aré of the opinion that the recent code of ethics adopted by the state so- ciety should be rescinded.” Dr. Austin Flint, sr., sald that a code which required that consultations should nyt be had with those who have an exclusive dogma was wrong. Dr. C. R. Agnew advocated the new code. for it represented the retined ethics of the present day. Theold codecan no more be restored than the fugitive slave law. No man could point to one single infraction of the old code by him, but he did not approve of it for all that. Before the enactment of the old code homeo- paths could be numbered by thescore: now there are more than'6,000 of them. So much for pe secution. ! The vote was then taken on Dr. Dwyer’s sub- stitute, which was lost by a vote of 147 to 60. Dr. Roosa then cailed up his motion, which was carried by a vote of 135 to 43 ee gg oe Collecting the Da: From Texas Siftings. “Tam a quiet, unostentatious man, and never harm nobody,” said the intruder, moistening MATOS. | the palms of his hands and taking a firmer me he axe-helve. “‘butif you don't with 317 to soothe my located feeli the boy bitten so very badly by my di asked the terri fied oyner of the animal. who is one of the most timid men in Austin. ‘He just £17 worth,” replied the intruder. the weapon around jhis head. “Here is your replied the owner of the dog.
