articles of nruimentation have attained to a high de gree of perfectioh in their art so much so tha in 1602 at the london exhibition a frenchman who was an adept at their manufacture exhibited a row of large real andiimitation pearls alternately and with out close iaipectfon we are assured it would have been impossible even for a judge to hkvp selected the real from the unreal some translations from french and german wprp on this manufacture have recently beea communicated to land and waier and froih these it appeara that ths art of nuking imitation pearls is ascribed to one jaciuiti a chapletrarid rosary iimnufactarer at lfassy who lived about notietng that the whitefish- a species of dace was of a silvery appearance he grad ually collected the sediment and with this substance to which he gave the name ef edifice f orient and with a thin glae mude of parchment he lined the glass bcaii of which he framed his rosaries and arterwardsfiued them with wax the me thod of vig the round bead is by heating one jend which has been first closed of a glan tpbe which then when blown into two or three tiaies expands into a globular form the workman then separatee the bead places the end which has been heated on a wire and heats the other end this pro cess is called bordering or edging the best pearls are made in the same way the holes of the tubes being gradually reduced by heat to the size of those of the real pearls the j workmen taking each bead ou inserted wirev and by continually turning them round in the name of the lamp used they became so true as to lie strung as evenly as the oriental pearls the groceeaof coloring the pearl is com menced by lining the interior of the ball with a delicate layer of perfectly limpid and colorless parchment glne and before it is quite dry the essence of orient is intro duced by means of a slender blow-pipe- it is then allowed to dry the pearl is filled with wax and if intended for a necklace is pierced through the wax with a redhot needle the essence of orient as it is called is the chief ingredient in the manufacture of ir up and down shelves filled with paper plate theutest application of paper is said to be the

which was attempting to cross her path the whale was cut in halves which passed astern on either side while the water was dyed rdd with his blood the steamer came to a standstill and her stem was

matter of course but it often happens that there is very little time given to a hostess in which to make introductions before dinner the guests probably arrive at the same moment or they follow each

dinner the hostess introduces them when ending them in to dinner or- previonalv if occasion offers a hostess ac- customed to making introductions does so in such a quiet wellbred manner as to di rest the act of anything like formality or undue exuprtisaufnt there are many din ner parties in town where not a single intro duction- is made the hostess has so cleverly assorted her guests and has been so fortun ate in her acceptances that she tias succeed ed fo getting together the very people aha most desired to secure when sending out her invitations her principal guests are more or less known to each other and even the lesser lights nuuber ah acquaintance or two amongst the party again there are certain sets in society where very few in troductions are made save to the intimate friends of the hostess to whom- she eairsay i thought you would not mind knowing mrs at so i introduced her to you the oth- j er evening or 1 hope yon did not mind my inlsroducing mrs a to yon the other evening i see a good deal of her and 1 bke her c in these seta ladies do not care to make introduction and prefer not to take the responsibility of making people acquaint ed who would not get on well together these houses are not the pteasantest at which to dine save to member of the set in question when young ladies are asked with their parents it is then only in proportion of two to twelve or sixteen guests and the eldest daughter is the one generally asked when parents wish to take a second daughter in place of the eldest they do so and explain to the hostess that they hare ventured to bring blanche instead of eveline but the eldest daughter invariably accompanies her mother and her place is yielded rather is the case of a dance than of a dinner party invitations to dinner are often refused on the grounds that guests are staying is the house but when the guests are relatives or young ladies it is hot necessary to decline on their account but merely to mention an invitation a day or two previous to a dinner party when a hostess has a party of gueste staying in her house she generally- asks three or four people to dine each sacceeding night to vary the house party and to change the order of going in to dinner be sides which it is agreeable to the country people to be asked to meet other than those who are resident in it although the principal houses are generally filled with guests about the same time of the year and for the same reasons and thus the brightest representa tives of country society cannot be asked to dinner because the hostess is aware that they too have people with them people in town often give what is termed by men a scratch dinner party friends or relatives of a host and heaters who are passing through town must be asked to din ner and some one must be asked to meet them and who can be got at a moments no tice qne resource ie to invite other friends who may also be passing through the town in addition to resident relations these imr prompto dinner partis are often a great suc cess as far as the guests are concerned al though they may nave given a hostess no little trouble in getting them tap she may have written twelve invitations and have only receiveo three acceptances sometimes she gets a vague answer such as i will see i what i cai do i am afraid i cannct promise i will leave it open if i may a hostess not caring to depend
