GOWNS THAT WILL WASH. The Cotton Goods of These Days have Fast Collin—Pretty Designs for Making Then. Pp -Points on Trimmings. One satisfaction nowadays in making up cotton frocks is the almost absolute certain- ty that the colors will not fade if reeson- ahle care is taken in the washing. Fast colors are now as much a standard. feature with manufacturer as artistio designs and fine textures. Wash nice cottons in mod. erately warm water made into a lather with a mild, pure Soap, rinse quickly in water of the ea= temperature, and dry in a shady spot. Remember, that starched elothes aro no longer considered refined. Iron iuvariably on the wrong side, with a very warm iron, but not heated suf1i. cloudyto leave the hint of a browning. Any trimming of Irish point lace or ens- braidery should be ironed on the wrong side, over a thick pad to briug out the pat- tern. Buy enough goods for extra sleeves. Cut a round xvaist amply long, as it tuoks under the skirt belt. ,A,llow a. deep hem; for cotton will shrink, no matter what the merchant or inanufacturer may tell you. Cottons are n 3W SO beautiful that they may be made into elaborate 'gowns, if you like, with a trimming of embroidery or point lace and ribbon. Velvet is often ap- plied to cotton dresses. French modistes promise to use black piece moire for cuffs, revers, vests and girdles. But, I cannot appreciate cotton and silk dress goods thus ' cheek by jowl." 1Vhitecotton passemeu- terie or fancy braid is a suitable triinmiug upon frocks for ladies and girls, and washes well. The goods now shown include white and black embroidered flouncings, nainsook, plain and figured, India linen, lawns, dim- ity, foreign and domestic gingham, cam- bric, crepon, Bedford cording, Chambery, organdy, mousselaine de Inde and batistes, not forgetting satines having china silk de- signs of natural looking flowers over light and black grounds. The Bedford cordings are in single and clustered ribs, and will be roade in tailor style, with a " bell" skirt, or one having the sides lapped over a V- shaped front and hold there by pearl but- tons; the " habit" basque will have a coat. tailback, pointed front, high collar, medium full -topped sleeves, rovers, if desired, and pearl buttons for the dress front and for fastening the sleeves at the wrists. This material will also be used for small boys in place of pique kilt suits. Satines are fashioned like the China silk gowns, with a "bell" skirt and ruffled on the edge, pointed or round bodies, high sleeves, a ribbon belt, or gridle of heavy Irish point lace. Yokes, V's, round jacket pieces and deep corselets aro also of this lace, and the fashionable touch ot richess is added by velvet ribbon bretelles and,knots. When intended for the street, satin is quite plainly trimmed with velvet accessories or those of moire. It is hoped that the fash- ion of trimming satin() with black French lace, that appeared last summer, will never rise again. The crinkly crepons and lovely floral -pat- terned combrics will appear in a modified " skirt, which allows a trifle of full- ness in front, caused by a few gathers, and a ruffle, unless borderer'. goods are .selected. Thewaistis &Russian blouse, without lining, having only under arm and shoulder seams, She front lapped to the left, embroidery edging the garment, which is confined by a belt of insertion or ribbon. The blouse is really a 'deep sacque and has full -topped sleeves, or those ending in a bracelet cuff of insertion. More elaborate gowns of this kind will be of orgsnclie, with a jabot of Valenciennes laceand ribbon down the Open- ing, and a flounce of lace around the skirt, festooned with ribbon and news. The .wonderful popular ginghams ' in stripes, laceand cord effects 'slieuld be fash- ionable with a slightly ge.thmed or "bell" skirt trimmed with a ruffle of the goods or one of eitbroidery,.or else a row of insertion let in as a border. The ,,jacket or round waist will prevail, and high-topped sleeves, or the • ever-ceanfortable. shirt -sleeve. .The• new jacket waist has • one or three-piece 'sacque• back, a belt across the back only, and loose embroidered jack -et -fronts over a yoke aud, girdle of embroidery which match the turned -over cuffs and rolling cellar. The familiar round waist is at present cut without side forms, and sufficiently long to tuck beneath the skirt belt. This and the jacket is unlined, have bag seams.; when lined the same fabric or lawn. The round Waist has embroidery for a V, yoke, round jacket pieces, and corselet or girdle ; many of the trimming features of woolen gowns are thus used on cotton by imam of embroid- ery, or the heavy white or ecru Irish point, Dainty ribbon aceesseories appear in the wan a belts, ketones and shoulder hews. A vest or V of tucked whites lawn is alwaya effective and can be made removeable, so as to be easily le,undried. Surplice waist, full from the shoulders and lapped at the waist i line, is always in vogue, as s a sailor waist with large collar, Deep, close cuffs are stylish ; also turn over shirt-csuffs'and brace- let cuffs or bands of insertion. Lace alWays looks well as e falling ruffle. Small delicate designs of embroidery are the most fashion- able. Black moire ribbon will be consider- ed very stylish on gowns having the fashion- able black hairline or cord arnid bright colors, Rebe dress patterns have wide em- broidery for the skirt, with narrow pieces for collar and cuffs, ehambery appearing the oftener in this style. • All cotton gowne are not supposed to see the washtub,but these we have described may be leadenly washed, when freed from their ribbons and velvets, as may the white dressea spoken of further on ; the styles. of She organdies and mousselaines of connate in- dicate that any washing of them is a farce. A linen lawn wears "forever and a day," yet it is not in favor with Madame Fashion. Still there are many conservative women who dearly love these cool white and pink, blue, black, tan and. lavender linen lawn gowns, trimmed with a ruffle edged with Valeneiennea or Torclion lace, having a round waist, frill clan the front edge and on the wrists' the costume completed by a belt, of blackor colored ribbon with loug ends and loops in the back, bretelles end butterfly bows on the shoulders. White cotton gowns are supposed to be suitable for all ages, hence their continued popularity in all parts of our isountry in Vac of the favor extended lately to woolen frocks the year round, Gowns of =Ureic'. ered flouncings are easily made up, as the skirt is a simple gathered one; please make it four yards wide, with moat of the fulness massed at the back. As the flouncing comes in lengths of four yards and it half, there is a half yard remaining, which will answer for a yoke, or V, and perhaps cuffs on the round weld of plain material mats:k- ing the ground of the skirt. All sleeves are amply long and generously full. While thmity, lawn, and nainsook frocks are fashloned with round waists, and acces- sories of embroidery in the way of girdle% V shaped plastrons, jacket fronts, yokes, deep corselets, collars and cuffs of embroid- ery, and it skirt ruffle of edging or border of insertion. Some very dainty white frocks are trimmed 'with lace, but even Velma ciennes does not nasi as well as embroid- cry. Point de Genes or Irish Point lace in thiek, openwork patterns looks very hand- some as it yoke and, girdle on an elaborate white dress, the lace being such a deep cream as to merit the name " tinted" lace, The skirts aro plain in effect, after the "bell" fashion, and always look better with a foot ruffle. White gowns may be pressed when wrinkled, and kept for quite it thne from the laundry, with care, bet in the and they must reach the tub, so remember this when " thinking out" tile new summer frock. Making Rome Comfortable, Envy of neighbors is rather too common among farmers. There is too much of a disposition on the part of a portion of mankind to feel in some way humiliated and apologetic beceuse their financial condition, in the heartless scramble of the world, does pot enable them to equal somebody elae in vain dieplay. This iswealt, if it is not foolish. To such wo say, in the language of s, writer for the Rural New - Yorker : Never mind if your house is not painted with as fine a coat as your not neighbor can afford. Surround it with vines of luxurious habits of growth,and then be sure the conditions are favorable, for them, and in a year or two when your neighbor's no coat of -paint is less dazzling, your little cottage will be a. shady bower of vines and blossoms and filled with the faint, sweet perfume of growing things. Flies will not approve of your shaded rooms; they would much rather lie in wait for the screen -door to open at this same neighbor's whore there is no way of darkening and cooling the rooms but by curtains and shuttels. And if you are in doubt as to which way is best and most pleasant in hot weather, just dall on the lady of your acquaintance who owns the grandest and most fashionable home, and from there acme and take a seat in the writer's cozy parlor, where the shades are rolled to the very tops of the windows, the curtains are tied back, and the broad green leaves are dancing in every breeze. The door, too, stands open on a porch covered with prosaic grape vines, and so cool, so hidden from the sun, that in bright weather we can leave the screen open with itnpunity. Of course if rain is thes.tened we have to be more careful, as the flies will then crowd in at any opening. To Preserve Milk. There are many ways of preserving milk so as to keep. it sweet, but ono of the most satisfactory is that which is at present prac- ticed at an establishment hi Texas. The milk, fresh from the cow, is subjected to a boiliug heat, and after all the air has been expelled from it the cans are hermetically sealed. When the process was first in ent- cd, about fifteen years ago, several dozen bottles were sealed up. Every year some of these aro opened, ancl after fifteen years' keepiug the milk has, in every case, been found perfectly fresh. Pin -Money in Pickles. So often the question arises in the minds of the farmer's wife, "how can I earu a little extra money ?" One sister tells how it can be done, she says: "Among the many ways for a woman who has a control of it small plat of ground there is nothing will bring in quicker returns of profit for She small amount of money invested than cucumbers made in to pickles right from the vines; but those that contemplate raising them for the trade must not plant too early. We plant them for a second crop, generally after the early peas or cabbage, between the 1st and 10th of July, the ground is in just the right shape to raise the nucumbers; they can be planted after early potatoes, and no preparation of the soil will be needs ed. The best varieties for this purpose le the Chicago pickle; these grow all of a uni- form size, and do not grow to Buell enor- mous size as the giant perm; a spot three rods square will be large enough for a woman to make the tfial on, and she can enlai ge the next year. This variety is the one to gather and prepare them in bulk. If they do wall enough can be out hr the morning to fill a wine keg. Scald the Cucumbers in salt and with a little alum in, skini them out and fill the keg, putting in a half pound of whole pepper and red peppers; scald enough cider vine, gar to cover them and fill the keg, head it up and keep until winter when they can be taken to thegroceries and restaurants, and, if rightly put up the demand will exceed the. supply. Wfien you plant cuciutnbers procure seeds of the Little Gherkins and Sotne long, slim peppers; prepare the same as the others and put thern in bottles with one red pepper in each bottle; display them on the counters of your local grocer, and give him a percentage of every bottle Sold, and the neXt year your enthvelasin th e subjeob will be dOtibled. There is no corn - menial pickle that makes such an attractive appearance, in bottles as the Gherkin, when properly prepared; but these shoulki be planted earlier in the season." Oh I What a Surprise. Some people readily forget thatthey were ever young, and never recognize the fact thathistory is apt to repeat itself in individ- ual humanity as well as in wider areas. The parents stood gazing with frowning brows at their daughter, while she was trembling and weeping. Their frowns deepened as the mother wiped ber glasses preparatory to reeding it letter found in the giirl's pocket.

A gentIoma,n recently paying a visit to Ireland met with a peculiar incident. Whilst one day out in the open country, far from any town or village, he was caught in a severe thunderstorm ; the rain came down in torrents; to shelter under trees he knew was dangeroue. So he made his way to a labourer's shanty, which, fortunately for him, was near. Be knocked at the door, and 5,o the "Come in" he entered, but to his dismay it rained almost as fast inside as out, the rain coming through a great hole in the roof. "Why, Pat, how is it you don't mend your roof ?" he asked. "Mind me roof ?" he asked. "Shure an' ye would'na wa'ant me to he minding me rhoot in it storm like this ?" No, no I man, certainly not; mend it when it's fine," "Mend it when it's foine ?" asked the Irishman with a jeer; "1 sliver ee'rd etch a to -ale in my loife.

Didn't c er.t °sten reply.es joo he know her well? Had he not been court- ing her off and on for a year? "Hain' no Miss Jackson ?" he. said ques- tioningly ; "who is you, den?" "Pee Mrs. Lightfoot, sah ; da's who I is," and she tossed her head loftily. "Mrs. Lighttoot? Mrs. Lightfoot?" he repeated slowly. "When dist happen?" "Lan' night at seben o'clock, Mr. Jones." " Wha' Lightfoot is dat you marry, Miss jaicl•sIoen3" nry, Mr. Jones." " Henry Lightfoot?" he exclaimodangrily. "Whaffur you gwine marry dat lazy, good- nigga wen you kno Pse been co'tin' you fer mo'n a yea'? Whaffur you do dat, Miss Jackson ?" "Cam he axed me, Mr. Jones." Then it was a great light shone on Mr. Limbo Jones, and he went to a sequestered spot and kicked himself across a cornfield. Her Sole Condition, The Mistress -"We leave on Monday, Bridget.
