The skirt 1s cut from a fluted pat- tera, which not excessive in width, and yet gives a very full appearance, nd has no darts round the top, al- though it fits perfectly to the figure. The bodice is made on a fitted lining, cut in four parts only, viz. the two fronts, each with two darts, and the two backs, necessitating a seam down the centre, This centre back seam is seamed and boned, and the top faced to Just below the bust-line with the plaid, and the front darts are also sewn and whalebone inserted, and they are then faced with plaid, ready for the plain ma. terial. To Drive Away Ants, If you get some green peppermint, which usually grows by the brookside, and lay it on the floors and shelves of your pantry and kitchen you will find that the ants disappear immediately. Apply powdered sulphur very liber- ally to the parts most frequented by them and they will turn their feet in some other direction; or sprinkle sugar on a damp sponge, and when the feast Is under way drop the sponge in hot water. Put pleces of camphor gum or cloth wet with camphor on the pantry shelves and the ants will disappear, Use plenty of powdered borax in the pantry, The Comfortable Wrapper. In wrappers there does not seem to be any particular style predominating. ‘The shape has changed but little from last year. The sleeves are a little larger and droop more than formerly. A good deal more grapery and trimmings are used in the form of laces and ribbon ‘There are more distinct styles, but these only differ from one another in very small points, The principal colors for tea gowns are pink, blue and cardinal the and most used materials French flannel, cashmere and India silk, ‘The cheap wrappers follow the tea gowns in shape at a distance, outing flannel and prints taking the place of more expensive materials, Red, blue and black. are the most popular colors, inde rd.

No longer do the couples balance as side to the sides and the end to the ends, as formerly, but the side couples dance to the end couples, after ' a diagonal fashion, and every figure breaks into waltzing.

He does not think that the Young Men's Chrivtian Association ought to hold meet- ings exclusively for men, but that women should bo admitted, unless, he says, there ia a medical or White Cross lecture in progress, Evidently he tw not in the habit of attending the Y, M,C, A. oF he would not write as he doer formation I would state that a large proportion of the afternoun meetings held tn Association Hall are directly or indirectly in support of the White Cross cai Why doesn’t he make a broader assertion aud kick because females are not allowed in the gymnasium or in the various ¢lass-rooms? It would be just as sensible. The very name of the institution, “Young Men's Christian Association," would indicate to a person of ordinary intelligence what sex it was Intended for. GEORGE B.
