Home Life in American wannlliese
" Americans have houses but no homes,"
was the remark made by an English
traveler'reaently. The remark, if not true,
seems to be "founded on fade." It is be-
coming a serious question whether even in
the most refined- communities there is
very much home lite, especially in 'the
evenings.
A very attractive, home -loving woman

The eldest daughter then said she must
go apataire and get ready for' the concert
to whioh she had been invited with two
other young people. Very soon they name
and departed.
" It looks almost too bad to be going
like this all the time," she said regret-
fully as she went out, " I wonder if I shall
aver bemoan evening at home before long ?"
She was hardly out of the house when

This is all wrong. Who is to blame for
it ? Let some wise woman or mother tell

stronger than the rights and pleasures of

Fashion Fancies.
Yellows in all their glories of tints, "froth

favor among the modistes and milliners of
Paris in a great variety of combinations.
Calla, oollars, panels, revere and girdles
are of contrasting colors, heavily braided
with gold. These gowns are atter a Rus-
sian model, and, as may be supposed, are
very expensive.
White headgear was never more promin-

The Princess of Wales has adopted the
officer's cap, and hence all fashionable
London will wear this unbecoming head-
gear the doming yachting season. Last
season French women wore these little caps
at the seashore, made of navy blue oloth or
of white duck, but the English admirers of
the lovely Princess, who sets the fashions,
do not ask the origin of the styles she sets.
Among the English fashions that have
taken a strong hold on the popular fancy.
here are the shirred hats of Liberty silk.
It is astonishing to see how many different
effects in shape may be produced in this
id • le sort of head- ear. Young ladies
wear them wi tear prin g'we on sum-
mer mornings, little children wear them
with their dainty frooke of cambric and
lawn ; but they are not for maturer ladies,
as they are essentially youthful in effect.

utility of these filmy parasols. Trans-
parent parasols are also found in blaok
fabrics each as lace; silk, muslin . and gren-
adines, and are as delioately and as dressily
'made as possible.. Golden and silver frames
are used for these gossamer shades, and the
white ivory handles, wrought or carved in
an artistic manner, complete these cotly
articles of dress.
The officers' . mesa jacket is one. of the
most stylish little garments ever shown

No prettier mode than the velvet bodices

the leading modistes for this season: These
bodices are snugly fitting and sleeveless, so
far as the velvet is concerned.. The lane
forms the sleeves. The wired Medici collar
greatly enhanoee the beauty of this beauti-

better finished by a longviooped bow behind

The Pipers.
When I was in kdinbargh Fused to go
on Wednesdays to hear the pipers play in
the Princeaa Street Gardens. These were
true Highland papers belonging to the
" Queen's. Own Cameron Highlanders,"
stationed at the Castle. There were seven
of them and they were in Highland cos-
tume, of oonrse, bare -kneed, and carrying
a kn'fe or a dirk in their stookings. They
wore the. Cameron tartan and the long
plaid wasfastened by a brooch at the shoo). -

They al -ways marahe�—when- playing, to
and fro, is', the broad path which . runs
through the centre of these beautiful gar-
dens, and the speotatorselined the way on
either side. I always took my station at
one end of the " coarse " that 1 might see
them advance and retreat the whole length.
When they started in the distance, the
wild sweet notes of their pipes were but
faintly beard ; bat es they advanced,
louder and louder wilder and wilder, they
grew, and it seemeto me never was mueio
so thrilling. Like that of the " Pied Piper
of Hamelin," it was enough to while the
soul out of one, and if the rook on which
the Castle stands had yawned as did the
fatal hill in Browning's poem, and the
pipers had entered, it is a question whether
we should not all have followed.
So must the pipes have sounded, only
with an added intensity, to the Sootoh girl
in the beeieged city of India during the
Sepoy rebellion when one day their familiar
music Dame to her lieteningear, heralding
the approach of .-the rescuing Highlanders.
Whittier tells the story in his " Pipes of
Lncknow."
The appearance of the pipes was almost
as exciting as the music. With heads
thrown book and cheeks extended they
marched briskly, keeping time .with the
sweet mueio of their pipes, and with the
inimitable strut William Black has por-
trayed. so ' accurately in his Highland
novels. The ribbons on their Glengarry
naps and on their stockings, the number-
less tassels and ribbons decorating their
pipes, and their. long plaids, waved and
flattered and danoed with thele rapid
motion. They were all stalwart fellows—
broad shouldered and strong=limbed. As
they reached the end of the " oonrse," they
.turned upon their heels with wonderful
precision, and es the loud wild music grew
fainter and fainter, sweeter and sweeter,
you were not quite sure whether you were
intho trim, well•kept gardensof Edinburgh
or aurae heather -clad Highland glen. -
Tbis " strut " seems to be as peculiarly
the piper's own as his pipes, and I believe
nope bat a Sootohman oan give a fair imi-
tation cf it. The 'last thing by way of
entertainment on the eteamship Farnessie,
just before entering New York harbor, was -
a minstrel show in the saloon by some cf
the passengers. They entered in costume,
headed by a tall young Soot, who had got.'
ten himself up as a piper. From an um-
brella and a'couple of canes he had manu-
factured his pipes, and his " strut' was
perfect, so perfect that in oonneotion with
the pipe music—absurdly caricatured by
the minstrels who followed—it was received
not only with shouts but shrieks- of
laughter from the crowded saloon, most of
us being Sootoh.—F. A. Humphrey in Wide
