THE HOME CIRCLE. “VICTORIA EARLE,” EDITRESS. —~ -0-—— [The object of this department is to pre- sent weekly to the female readers of the Bes, tems of interest concerning the Home Cir- cle;and to assist in the success of the same. The ladies are earnestly requested to send original contributions (for which they will receive credit) weekly addressed to “VIc- TORIA EARLE,” EDITRESS HOME CIRCLE, 1125 Park Avenue, New York.| As this isthe initiatory ‘‘Home Circe,” I would like to say to the readers of “the Washington Ber,” the ladies especially, that if they will assist me by their interest and kindly consideration I have no other idea bat that our Home Cir- cle will be both interesting and usetul. By interest, [ simply mean to ask them to read the column, note its insufficiences and build it by their suggestions and contri- butions. All such shall be proper- ly accredited. If we take into con- sideration how useful such a col- umn can be made, the amount of information it is possible for us to receive as well as impart, under such conditions I hardly think any lady would object to interesting herself in the work; besides bear- ing in’ mind the fact tbat the pre- dominant race, is not insensible to the fact, that our race publishes newspapers and as they have gen- erally speaking, declared us to be mentally incapable, it is only na- tural that they should point to the disinterested manner that characterizes the support some of us give the journals published by our own peuple, not ouly finan- cially but journalistically; as an evidence of our taste and appreci- ation of such work; I do not think our women willobject when I say comparatively speaking, very little journalistic work has been done by us in the past; not due to a lack of ability, but a natural timidity, which I hope is dying out. Agaiu if a little thought is given to the matter it is easy to realize that our women must awaken to ove fact that is, they are letting too many golden oppurtunities pass by them, while others are winning renown; they are or seem to be indifferent to the fact, that we, as American hegro women, have as yet no de- fined history; no better way for laying a foundation for one than by filiing these days with our best efforts, towards worthy accom- plishments. It is common knowledge that spacein newspapers is valuable, consequently I shall not maltiply sentences. In order to say a few words, let me therefore assert earnestly. I shall endeavor from time to time to present a pleasant, readable column for the lady read- ers of the “the Washington Bre” asking in return (should my efforts prove successful) their generous support. [shall be pleased to re- ceive ideas, suggestions, directions and receipts for ‘Work bag” and “Kitchen” kind words of coun- sel from experieuced mothers and good progressive thoughts for the children, Let me again remind all who shall read The Home Circle that the work will be tedious and un- satisfactory if I am _ forced to trudge the inky way alone, but pleasant, instructive, and enter- taining if the ladies respond to my appeal. Just picture areal Home Circle ; it it is a typical one, all the work never devolves on a single individual, the most interesting circles are those in which the links are made by many willing hands. The crewel stiten resembles the wrong side of long back stitching. It is very simple. The worsted washes beautifully (especially when cleansed in very warm water into which a small quanity of bak- ing sodo has been thrown) and the materials are quite inexpensive table-covers, curtains, and afghans &c., are beautiful when wrought in this old fashioued embroidery. Flowers lend their graceful shapes and pure coloring to the artist in worsted who wishes to make pretty things for her parlor. In place of lambequins with elab- orate embroidery, oeautiful silk scarfs with fringed ends, some with trassriugs, buttous on pendants are now placed on mantel shelves gracefully heldin place by a pet vase or jar.m—Exchange. A large Japanese scrap basket, of any desirable suape bronzed or gilded, with a large bright satin robbon bow fastened on the side; which should confine some wheat or oats also bronzed makesa pretty ornament. If there is any one thing that good house-keepers, agree on as being troublesome and uninterest- ing it is certainly the regular patch- ing and darning, without which the weekly mendiag cau not be at- tended to with ueatness. Where there are growing children as well as male members of the family the socks and stockings ; all worn out at the toe heel and knee occasion a most vexatious amusement. Now along time ago, I learned a litile secret which I will here impart with the hope that it may do some one some good. Before the new socks or stockings are worn, a good plan is to line the heels (as they wear out first) neatly, It will save mach dorning. Take old stockings and eut them into liniugs, if done nicely they will last twice as long; then again if they are watched, as soon as they show sigus of wearing, rip the old lining away in the same way puta new one in, the knees of the ehil- drens stockings can be managed in the same way, as they are always crawling about the floor thus wear- ing that partout first, now I hope some one will try this apparently insignificant plau and let me know if they like it, I have other little devices of economy which wiil be found helpful in our ‘‘mending basket.” A WOODEN WEDDING. FIFTH MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY. There was a very fashionable company at the residence Mr. and Mrs. Paris Lyvers, ou last Tuesday evening. The occasion was a wooden wedding or tueir fitth marriage anniversary.

On last Sunday afternoon the line and staff officers of the sev- eral militia companies met, in the reception room ofthe Washing- tou Cadet Corps, for the purpose of having a re-uuion of all colored military compauies in the United States. The meeting wus called to order by Lieut. Col. Revells, who afterwards turned it over to Maj. C. B Fisher, stating that be only acted tempo- rarly in the absence of Major Fish- er. Ou tuking the chair, Major Fisher complimented the officers and said, that if it was deemed necessary to retain him as the permanent president, he would do ailin his power to make the organization a success, but, if some one else was elected he wou.d still give his support. Cupt. Chase, of the Capital City Guard, moved that a perma nent organization be perfected, which was carried. Atterwhich he said that he would placein nomivation a man who would no doubt, meet the approval of ull present and one who will give en- tire satisfaction. He nominated Lieut. Col, F. C. Revells. Capt. Young, nominated Major C. B. Fisher, Ou motion of Capt. Chase, numinations were closed. A vote was taken by ballot which resulied in the election of Lieut. Col Revells. Major Fisher and Major F.eetwood were nominated for vice presidents but the former gentleman declined, by stating that he wnuld not have the time to give it the attention necessury on account of w great pressure of business. On mution of Cupt. Chase, Major Fleetwood was elected by acclamaion. Cupt. Thomas L. Upshaw, was elected Secretary aud Capt. Greene, treasurer, Capt. Chase, moved that an executive commiitee of five be appointed by the chair. Capt. Boston offered a substitute, to the effvct of selecting three from each organization 10 which Capt. Young offered an amend- ment making theexecutive ’mitte consist of tw line officers trom each organization. Quite a lively discussiun was created, some claiming that it was an attempt to shat off stat officers. It was finally decided to accept Capt. Youngs amendment by stricking out line officers and making it two officers from each organiza- tioa to constitute an executive committee. Capt. Chase moved that a.com- mittee of three on rules be ap— pointed consisting,of Messra. Re- vells, Fleetwood and Dougia-s. Major Fisher objected by stating thac there was au attempt to ig- nore his organization. Cupt. Young maintained the samepo si- tion as that assumed by Maj. Fist- er. Cupt. Chase, stuted that it was uot his intention tu ignore avy gectleman aud that with the permission of the geutlemen pres- enthe would withuraw his motion and mike another, cousent was allowed. He moved that a com- mittee of five be appointed, which was carried. Cupt Capt. Chase said tout he did not desire to serve on the committee and so the president appointed Mujors C. B. Fisher and C. A. Fleetwo.d, Captains Bostun, Acwith ana Warner. The’ meeting adjourn- ed subject to the call of the chair- man. To oo TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. CHAIRMAN MOSBY’S BDIOT.
