Of course, she has the inevitable satl- cr hat—a broad-brimmed one in brown straw to wear with this natty costume, and she looks like a little brown thrush when she gets into tt. For afternoon wear, when she gives a veranda tea, or dispenses her infrequent but none the less delightful hospitalities, she has a dainty gown of linen lawn. It has a cream-ground, with splashes of shaded red over it, just the color of the scarlet- Upped poinsetta. It is made very simply, with a wide moderately full skirt, and a blouse waist over a fitted lining, and leg-o’- mutton sleeves. She has two sets of rib- bons to wear with this gown; one set con- sists of a wide cream moire sash, crinkled collar, bows for her shoulders and for her wrists. The other set fs poinsetta red surah, and is something of a harness. There is a crush belt fastened with a rosette, and straps of the same go over the shoulders, where they are caught with rosettes, and the collar is of the silk, fastencd at the side with 2 rosette. On each side of the front of the skirt extend long strips of the silk, ending at the bottom in big bows of the same. The ribbons are so put together that they can be adjusted in an instant without trouble. Then There Are House Gowns.

This simple vet dignified way in which Lincoln petitions Congress for a pen- sion is in marked contrast to the methods now employed by pensioners, but pensions Were not so plentiful as now. The letter ts on an ordinary sheet of note paper and covers three sides. which are heavily bor- dered with black. The communication is undated, but the Indorsement on the back shows that it was referred by the Speaker to the committee en Invalid pensions on January 26, 1860. Congress acted in the matter with great Celiberation, a great deal mere so than it would today in a similar ease, and it was not until July 14, 1870, al- most eighteen months after the receipt of the petition, that the act was approved giving Mrs. Lincoln a penston of $3,000 a year. coe A MOST BECOMING FROCK.

The dishes for the use of our party were given an extra “swipe” with a perfectly new fiour sack, emptied for the purpose, as I saw myself, a process which rendered them a little sticky, but as long as the inten- tion was a good one it would have been ill bred to object. We were given the end of one of the tables—there were three of them and about forty men—where we could look out over the side of the precipice*upon which the camp was located, over a scope of coun- try as wildly beautiful ag anything that Switzerland ever profuced.

And she did not attempt to move them, £0 the old lady edged in and sat a pict of meek- ness, while Mrs. Snob cpened on her, “You've made a mistake, ma’am,” she said, raising her lorgnon. “This section be- longs to me. I bought a whole section when I left New York, so that I need not be bothered with objectionable people. “I am sorry,” returned the old lady quietly. “I am very sorry indeed that a mistake has been madg, and will try to have it righted as soon as son returns to the “ar. . “It is an outrage that one’s money can- not give one a bit of privacy when trarel- ing,” returned Mrs. Snob. “I’m sure I paid enough for my accommodations from New York to have been spared this annoyance. ‘The strike has delayed me. and I supposed that when I got on at Laney I would get through without any more trouble.

Why, any chiid ought to know better than that. I wonder if women in general know that the traveled woman can be recognized as quickly as though she was brended on the forehead? She has an air that cannot be mistaken. She is never overdressed, and she steers just as clear of shabbiness or eccentrielty in her attire. She does not gen- erally put on a perfectly fresh gown to travel in, as one that she has worn long enough to get thoroughly acquainted with is very much better for the purpose. She generaliy chooses a woolen gown—light weight in summer, heavy in winter and fall. Dark colors will generally be found on the woman who travels a great deal, because she knows that all sorts of things are Hable to happen to a light dress. She does not like cotton traveling gowns, be- cause they muss s0 easily, and look “tacky” | at the ead of one day’s trip. She does not wear wide white linen collars or cuffs, be- cause they get grimy in half an hour, and are hideous unless immaculately pure. If she must have neck trimming, she has a soft silk ruche or foids of silk basted in the neck of her bodice. Sae does not wear a Gainsborough hat, nor: a lace confection. Neither does she wear a wide stiff satlor. Her favorite head covering is a small close- htting toque. A capote is permissible, but | the strings will be found hot and binding, particularly in summer. She always carries a bit of tissue velling or a lace scarf to tie over het neatly arranged hair as soon as she removes her hat, so as to shield it from | cinders and dust. She always wears gloves. It would be difficult to call her a lady if she | forgot that. They are usually old soft | ones that do not bind her hands, but gloves me kind the real simon pure lady al- erate of Others.

In these days of light-weight gauze, when one can wash out the garments in a quart or two of clean water, it does seem so strange that both men and women are so careless of this really needful sanitary measure. Physi- clans tell us that every day or two pints of dirty water pass through our skin In the form ef insensible perspiration, and that, in the dirty water, there is not less than a quarter of an ounce of absolut matter, With this pofsonous matter als mixed the otly secretion given out from the sebaceous glands, and of all this refuse and impurity the chief part is ta up by the clothes.
