The most utilitarian of modern wo- men must admit that there is some- thing delightful about the wedding veil, which adds to its beauty if it be the daintiest Alenson point and makes it of priceless value to the wearer even though it be a simple length of tulle. L It is a symbol of the maidenhood which is ever worn on that momentous day when romance holds sway and life has such infinite possibilites for good or I evil. Very often this item of the bridal toilet is the one which carries out the old adage of Something old and something new, Something borrowed. and something blue. . for it is often both old and borrowed, descended down from mother to daugh-‘l ter on one side of the house, usually‘ the bride’s. In former years the veil was thrown back, both Queen Victoria and the Princess of \Vales appearing so says an English authority, but now- adays it falls on the face. The Duch- ess of York wore a veil in which her mother had been married, the same Margaret Grosvenor. It is if fine Brussels point. The wedding veil of Queen Victoria was of fine Honiton : lace. The revival in taste for old lace nas been far-reaching with regard to the wedding veil. The bride is fortunate who can appear on her marriage day in the web of Brussels applique, Honi- ton, Mechlin, or Argentan which was worn by her mother or grandmother. Occasionally an old historical lace veig is draped over the court train, tulle of an especially transparent make being used as a fall over the face and dress. 9 “,3“ --h- Unflonn 1WD. The wedding veil of Princess Helene of France, who is now the Duchess d’- Aosta, was extremely beautiful. It was 14 feet long and had been especial-1 ly made at Bayeux, where the finest‘ modern Alan-son point is now manu- factured. The usual size of the special.- ly woven tulle is 3 yards square. Of this the front should fall slightly be- low the waist, not so deep as to ne- cessitate the bouquet being covered by the folds. At two points 12 inches apart the material should be gather- over the face, in order to see if the arrangement is equally becoming, and pins are secure for this style. A lit- tle forethought in this matter obviates the possibility of any catastrophe in the vestry or the drawing room which might happen if the veil were thrown back for the first time.

It is a mistake to put paper (with vertical stripes in a hall, as they in- crease the :apparent height of the ceil- ing, and consequently the narrow effect of the hall. 1 Have you. ever sponged and pressed a garment with the greatest possible care, only to find the spots reappear the first time the garment receives hard wear? This is because it was not thoroughly dusted beforehand, or be- cause the cleansing preparation was left in the goods. This last is a great mistake, as it leaves the spot very sus- suasceptible to soilure. The suds, am- , mania, or whatever was used should be removed as completely as the grease, or the result will not be satisfactory. Do this by rubbing the place thorough- 1y with the cloth wrung out in clear water, rinsing it again if needed. The practice which children have of tucking their stockings away in the shges at night is a pernicious one. The stockings should be hung across the back of a chair where they can The thoroughly dried from perspiration, and the shoes should be set where they can be well aired inside -as well as outside. This is especially necessary if there 18 any tendency to excessive perspiration of the feet. The too prevalent habit of many housekeepers and persons who are con- sidered neat is to let the cats 'and dogs eat off the dishes which are used by the famzly. Such a dangerous and fil- thy habit ought to be brought to the attention of every housekeeper, as if for no other reason than the health of the inmates of her home. GOOD THINGS FROM MOLASSES.

Fruit stains may easily be TRAIN YOUR BOYS. removed from linen when fresh. Place the stained portion over a bowl in a cup shape, so that liquid will readily run through, and pour over it boiling wat- er until the stain disappears. This must be done before it has been in contact with cold ‘water or soap. Fresh tea stains are removable in the same manner. Where stains are dried make a solution of one teaSpoonful of oxalic acid and one teacupful of soft cold water. -Dip the stain in this, rub 5 and at once thoroughly rub in clear' ‘water to prevent the rotting of the gfabric. \Vhen it is inconvenient to l procure oxalic acid rub the fruit stain with soap, plaster it with wet Starch and hang in the sun. Apply these again and again until the linen is bleached. \Mildew is usually remov- able by the same method, or by an application of lemon juice and salt, followed by eXposu-re to the sun. To bleach the worst mildew it may be needful to make a thick paste of half a curpful of soft soap with powdered starch, half as much salt as starch. and the juice of one lemon. \Vet both sides of the cloth with this prepara- .tion and let it lie on the grass over 1 night, renewing the paste two or three times. Put a teaspoonful of borax in your rinsing water; it clothes and remove the y garments that have been two or three years. Lemon Pieâ€"Take three-quarters of a pint of boiling water, add butter the size of an egg and one and a half tablespoonfuls of. corn starch, after be- ing dissolved; add one cu‘pifluJ. of sugar and the juice of on:: lemon, the yolks of two eggs and a little salt. Bake the crust and add the filling when cooked, the frost with the whites of two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar.

The idea 0! the picture occurred to the artist long before he attempted to put it on can- vas. The doctor whom Mr. Fildes was anxious to introduce into his picture unhappily died, and the artist had to paint him as best as he could from" ‘memory, assisted by half a dozen dit- Eferent models, says London Tid-Bits. One model sat for the clothes, anoth- er for the hair, and a third for the grave, earnest eyes. Mr. Val Prinsept R. A., sat for the beard, and M. Fildes‘ own child for the dying little one.

"he prac- tically lived with and for the ;picturc for six months,” until the reward 01 such infinite patience was in his grasp Mr. Holman Hunt, the painter 011 sa many exquisitely beautiful pictures, spares neither time nor money in real- izing his ideals. When, in his early years as an artist, he wished. to paint the “Scapegoat,” he 'took his canvas and paints with him to the east, wan- dered hundreds of miles, over deserts and hills, in search of the goat, the ap- propriate landscape, the atmosphere 0! ‘his picture; and at' the end of three years of wandering and work brought back the completed picture to England â€"\nly to sell it for less than it had actually cost him to paint it. Amtng continental artists none eve. worked more conscientiously than Meissa..n'.er, some of whose tiny canvas- es, with their microscopic perfection of detail, are valued at more than £1,000 a square f-:ot. When Meissonier was painting his “Napoleon in 1814." and wi had to g.ve a realistic picture to the snow-covered, trampled road or er which the French army traveled, he had a small piarform made and cover- ed with clay. He kneaded and pound- ed the clay, wheeled over it a mina- ture cannon, impressed hoof-marks on yusv vwâ€"wvâ€"v_ it, re-kneuded it andrrepeated the pro- cess until he was satisfied with the re- sult. Then he sprinkled salt over thc rutty, moi-marked, trampled clay‘ and got the final snow-effect ho sought. auugub. Hyosai. the most realistic of Japan: ese painters, was cradled in realism. Even as a child he would hauntl the slums and make sketches cf brawls and wrestling bouts. As a boy of 9 he fished out from a river the severed head of a drowned man and took it home to paint; and at 15 he would set Lup his easel in front of a blazing fire and calmly put the flames on his can- vas. It is even on record that one day he chased two young ladies of high birth through the corridors of a palace simply to sketch, as he ran. a rare pattern on the sash wnich one of them wore. HOW GREAT ARTISTS WORK. Verestchagin, “'13788 terrible war pictures are almost repellant in their realism. has risked his life many times while painting them. He would go, sketch-book in hand, into the thickest of the fighting, and sketch the fallen men in the intervals of defending him- self from the attacks of the enemy. On one occasion he had to suspend his painting for hours while the bullets rained around his canvas, and he hears as many scars as any heroâ€"all the fruits for his love of realism. Mr. Berkcley, whose battle-pitures are commanding so much admiration, never trusts to memory or fancy for his effects. If he wishes to paint mud- splashed boots he will go for a day’s hunting in the rain, and when he reaches home will make a careful study of the splashes and re-produce them exactly on his canvas. Similarly if he wishes to paint a tattered gar- ment he will tear one into shreds with his own hands, and he is never content to paint a horse until he has actually iposed one in the desired attitude. “alsture Increases the Vitality of Baal". Disease germs will often remain in a contagious condition in a house which has not been thoroughly disin fected. The life of the pathogenic germs varies greatly with the dif- ferent materials of which walls art constructed, and especially according to their degree of dampness or dry- ness. Special investigations made i; this direction in Italy showed that, a: a general rule, walls covered witl stucco or varnish are the least likel; to prolong the life of the microbes. , and walls which are normally dry are ‘to a great extent selfâ€"cleansing. The typhoid bacillus, the cholera germ. the diploccus of pneumonia, when placed on such walls, die at the latest in twenty-four hours, and the diphtheria bacillus survives only seven days. On well-dried size. the tuberculosis mic. robe will remain alive for (our, of £in months. Damp walls cause the vital- ity of bacilli to increase, so that thc dampness of dwelling houses is douby ly dangerous; first, in itself, and. second, because of the long life and vitality which it gives to the element: of contagion and infection, From a {bactericidal point of view, stucco 01 good varnish should be employed for walls where possible, in preference t4 tapestry or paper, as both can be easil) washed, and have, besides, the propert of cleaning themselves of pa _ germS.
