The blondo head was beat low over a
cloud of fleeov lace tbat occupied part of
the counter in a largo Jiroaaway ury
iroods Louse, recently. After a pro
longed inspection the wearer of the light
hair turned to the other lady by her side
and said with a pleased smile:
"Isn't it beautiful, mamma?"
"Very. Bnt it is very expensive."
"Yes, it is a little expensive, but just
tee bow perfect everything is. See the
cunning little pocket and the delicate
blue cord running down tue aides. On,
I muBt have one like that," and the
young lady held the marvel of laoe and
inoartinn af Arm's Ipnrstri anil with hand
I perched bird-like on one side contem
I plated a garment fit for a queen or for
i an American girl.
I To the uninitiated male opeotator the
apparel on exhibition appeared to be a
yery ornato ball dress except that there
was no tram and the intricacies of lace
and ruobing seemed rather formless. A
whispered inquiry of the saleslady is
waiting as to the nature of the dress on
exhibition brought tne low reply:
"It is a nocturne in night-dresses."
"A what?"
"A symphony in evening wrappers.
In plain English, ii is a beautiful night-

gown, uurigueu mr a oo unuo.
"Is it expensive?"
"Nob very. That one cost $125. We
have a iew more costly, and quite a
numbor equally ornate, but lesss valu
able. This one is used as a snmplo only.
W hen a lady purchases such a robo, she
has it made to order, as it is just as
necessary to guarantee a perfect fit in
this class oi goods as in costumes ue
atoned for more Dublio wear."
"But who purchases such expensive
nightdresses? At first sight it appears
to be useless extravagance to waste so
much money on a garment seen by but
one person and worn only at nigui.
"You would ba surprisad," aha said
with a smile, "at tho number of expen
sive gowns sold. Now here, taking down
a satin-lined box and exposing its con
tents, "this robe alone is worth $300,
nearly half dS much as a Worth dress.
Our best purchasers are, of course,
brides that is, young girls on the eve
of marriage. No I don't think van
ity has a great deal to do with the selec
tion of such expensive night-dresses.
Every woman likes to appear well in the
eyes of her lord and it is as much a com-

I self well for him alone. Then, too, the
mothers of the girls are always anxious
I that their daughters undergarments and
I night-robes should be of the finest ma
iterial. If a bride is difficult to satisfy
fat this counter, her mother is always
Ifound infinitely more difficult."
I "Are the finor robes imported?"
I "Oh, no, we tried that plan for some
time, but it failed. Foreign dressmakers
'appear to have no idea of what is re
'quired in on American night dress.
They are so aooustomod to fitting the
full forms of their English, French and
German customers that they have lost
all faculty for properly draping the lithe,
willowy figure of the average American
girl. So we havo these costumes made
up here. Much of the material is im
ported, however. This real lace about
the sleeves and filled in around the neok
and down the corsage is from Belgium,
and this edging about the skirt proper is
.from Franoe. The material is of domos
tie production, and is the finest of its
iind. See."
I She lifted the garment tenderly and
held it at arm's length, the soft material
falling in clinging folds to the floor.
jCreamy white percale formed the back
ground for the display of a profusion of
delicate laoe. Cut very decollete, the
Opening was half concealed by dewny
draperies of band-made laoe, and down
jthe front breadth the same material was
carried in giacefnl curves. The narrow
bands across the shoulders were enriched
with elaborate rosettes, doing away with
the necessity for sleeves. A cord of pale
pink traced the outlines ol tue ngure to
the waist.
I "Some of the night dresses," explained
the saleslady,' "are made with loose,
flor.ing sleeves filled in with tulle, but
the majority are made low-necked and
Sleeveless as this one is. It depends, of
Course, entirely upon the personal pref
erence of the parohaser. If the bride is
the fortunate possessor of white, rounded
arms and shoulders of which she is
t'roud, her choice falls naturally upon
he garment which best reveals those
(harms. I have noticed tbat while
younger ladies select the sleeveless robe,
bine-tenths of the widows ask that the
sleeves be sewe J in and give minute di
rections upon this point," and carefully
Molding the garment she replacsd it in
U box.
A request to look at different colored
tight-robes was met with a pitying smile,
and the information was tendered that
Vhite alone was nsed in their mana
ctore. Why this was so the saleslady
s unable to aay, farther than that
White was symbolic of purity and in
fcoeence. "Why," she continued, "we
ould drive a prospective bride away by
lha mere suggestion of any other hued
garment. The only color permissible is
Lvery delicate tracery of cord, almest
Preemptible. Even with this bit of
Wor we have enough dinlaulty in suit
ing our oustomors. It must harmonize
exactly with the complexion of the wear
er or she refuses to take it. 'In one
order alone wo were required to change
certain shades of blue three times before
conforming to the capricious tasiescf
the Brooklyn girl. In one instince a
slender piece of cardinal ribbon was in
serted around tho neck, half hidden by
the laoe. But this was the exceptional
case of a pronounced brunette. If color
is dosirea a haudkerojiief worn iu the
pocket gives the desired effect."
"Is a $300 night-dress really any more
comfortable than a common il gown?"
was asked alter the aales'ady had bowed
out a fault-finding customer.
"Well," she replied reflectively, as a
pair of dimples grew into the corners of
her nrtutb, "it is difficult to say. While
a cheap robe may be equally as com
fortable, you can see for yourself how
much moro beautiful these finer drotsos
are. The first requisite of such a
wrapper is that thore must be nothing
scratchy about it. Everything should
be soft and yiolding to tho touch. So
the more expensive the material the
more down-like it is, and consequently
the more comfortable. A gown is, you
see, the diametrical opposite of a jersey
from a modiste's point of view. The
one is made to lit closely, bringing every
curve into rolief. The other isorn
moro loosely than a day-dress could be
worn, and is snorter and more open man
a street or ball dress."
Further information was vouchsafed
to tho effeot that orders for theso ex
pensive goods came almost entirely from
this city and Brooklyn. Occasionally a
southern eirl purchasing her trousseau
in the oity would order two of the
dresses, but from the wealthy residents
iu New York came the greater part of the
oustom. The tendonoy to ricuor night

women s time was devoted to repairing
the originally exponsive lace marvels,
"These turners." the forewoman ex
plained, pointing to two gowns on a table
near by, "are continually being brought
to us to be mendod or to have little rents
in the ruching or lace work carefully re
paired. Tbat is one reason, apart from
the first cost, why only very wealtny peo
pie can afford these luxuries. To a lady
that kicks at night, or who is at all rest
less, a dolicatoly made gown is an ex
pansive investment. The least caroless
movement, causes a tear, which takos
time, trouble and money to repair. We
have had .this garment returned half a
dozen times tor repair wuuin iiiree

"Another expense is the laundry work,
which must bo carefully done, after the
removal of the more delicate laco. Taken
altogether, one of these robes is more
trouble to the woaror than a pot poodle,"
and tho speaker glanced across the store
to an ecru poodle that was quietly masti
cating a lady s silk train.
Across the street a large men's f urnibh
ine establishment advertised "night
shirts for presents." Inquiry elioited
the information tbat quite a trade in
shirts of this description was carried on,
and that the purchasers, in most cases,
were ladies. "They buy them forthoir

Ilousouold Dirt and Sickness.

SUrljrrs to Vanity,
Miranda has the loyoliest arms you
ever saw. She is dolighted that short
sleeves are worn, and her gloves are not
nearly so long as other people's. Her
favorite attitude is sitting, with her right
elbow in her left hard. She waves her
hand Wiien she speaks. At a dan, her
right arm is well displayed behind ber
partner's left, if be is tall, or on his
ahoulde: it he is small. Those beautiful
aiais have spoiled Miranda. Sho wears
black, thongh it does coi, suit hor com
plcxion, because her arms look so white
against it. She is always directing ber
attention to those uulucky ones, nutner
ojs enough, who have tbin arms. Who
ever marries her will have to be vey
caretol never, under any circumstances,
to admire another woman's arm. If le
should make a slip in this direction, thore
would, touio a good old phraso, bo

Did yon ever see such dear littlo
feet? Or such perfectly turned ankles?
of more wonderful stockings? Never,
indeed, ller pteity feet are Lesbia's
spocalty. That is why sue wears those
llojrcred stockings and thoso little
pointed toes. That is H'O rea
soi her skirts are so unusually short
Lestia is bright and clover. She is sen
sible about everthing bat feet. She is a
trying girl to talk to. hue will inter
rupt the most interesting oonvernntiou
just when you think you are "both be
ginning to get ou so well," to ask if vou
approve of high heols, or some other
such leading question. She is like Mr.
Dick with King Charles, and must drag
tho topic of feet into everything. It is a
pity; and yet many preicr ner to ior,
whoso feet aro well shaped enough, but
who has "no stylo." Sho talks merrily
and nlcasautlv when vou know her well,
but is rather quiet with strangors. Not
at all the sort of girl to get on. ller
voice is not suftlcieatly loud or
imporious. She does not bustle about
with an air as though the world was
made for hor. bhe wears protty gowns,
but docs not bunch them out, nor minoe
along with a soubrotte like trip, swaying
her gown from side to side, as Lesbia
does. In fact, sbo will nevor look any
thing "in a room," though she may be
well enongh as the presiding spirit of a
home. She is hopelessly unfashionauio.
Lctitia has a waist. It is her great
point, and she is very proud of it. Well
she may be, for it is tho result of patient
years of pain. She has laid on the shrine
of that little waibt many precious things
good health, good temper, and good
spirits. Having sacrificed tho first, the
two others followed as a matter of
course. But then it is such a wondorfnl
waist I It cannot measure more than sev
enteen inches, at the very most. Tho
pressure has madd her nose permanently
red. Not all the waters of Arabywonld
make that nose whito again, but what
matters? Does it not belong to the small
est waist in London? One thing immedi
ately slrikcs the boholdor. lie wonders
how so small a waist can possibly be so
obtrusive. Were it two yards round, it
could not more aggressively insist on Do
ing notiood. Draperies are si arranged
as to lead tho eye down to it, and skirts
are of such a fashion as to guide tho at
tention up to it. Lotitia walks with hor
elbows well out from her sides, so as to
odvortiso, in a pointed way, the faot that
your view is scarcely interrupted by her
slight and well distributed figure. As
she stands talking to yon, she puts a
hand on either side of this wonderful
waist, ond appoars to be curbing hersolf
in, as it wcro. She woars the tightest
of jackets, and never is seen in a dol
man. She gets torriblo colds in winter,
because Bhe will not wrap up. In fact,
ber whole exisence is a burnt offering to
her w..ist. Were she to grow stout, her
objcot in life would begono. Lotitia
denies herself even the gratification of
an excellent appetite in the interests of
a small waist, a solf sacrifice that would
be noble in a better cause.
Mirza has the loveliost complexion in
tho world. Without it, she would be a
perfectly charming girl. With it, sho is
quite a bore. If there is any wind she
is unhappy, "because it makes my
chocks so rough." If the snn shines,
she is miserablo, "because I tan o
frightfully." If it is hot, she grumbles,
"I flueh so painfully." If itisoold,
hor cry is, "I cau't go out to-day, for I
get so blue in cold weather." ller
cheoks are of such an indescribable
texture that roughness has never yot in
vaded them; tanning never approaches
them. She flushes the prettiest dainty
pink you ever saw; ond in cold weather,
a soft color rises in her face, and a wist
ful look comos into her eyes that makes
her quite adorable. Why, then, all those
exouses? Simply becuuse she thinks pre
vention better than cure, and is afraid
of a thousand viewless enemies on her
complexion's account. Sho is a martyr
to her own consciousness. London

Growth of the I'atent System.

present fiscal year tne numoer oi issues
lwinir an increase of 1VA per
cent, over the number for the corre
sponding quarter of last year. At the
present rate, therefore, the annual issue
of patents amounts to 21,700,
and even this will soon bo excoeded, as
the volume of business is steadily and
rapidly growing. In the last ten years
.itnnt iin nno nw DAtents have been

small force allowed by the government,
or preserves it from tailing into
irremediable confusion. Ihere are but
25 principal examiners to inquire into
the merits of and report upon the im
mense number of applications annually
presented, and it is evident that this
.iM nf iMvil servants are entitled to the
Credit of earning their money.
AJ1 inventions are ciassinea wxvmiug
.nt.i.t there beinir 1G3 principal
classes and over 3000 sub-classes. In
this way the work is methodized ana
eimplifled. If the bare fact of the issue
of 20,000 patents in a year does not suf
ficiently indicate the multiplicity of pur
poses for which inventions are designed
it -nni,i ha done bv the minuteness oi
the classification, which is, of course,
becoming constantly more eiaoorate. An

no conceivable mechanical process for
which somobr ly does not design an im
provement in which he wishes to be rro
tecicd against piraoy. In the clues which
includes electrical inventions there are
70 sub-clasHoa, tevealing the number of
useful applications of electricity which
oan be niado. Fostering the inventive
gonins of the country by holding out
the hope of pecuniary reward is almost
the moat beurnoent thing our govern
ment has done. It is impossible to weigh
the importance of the patent sys
tern to i he progress of the
country and its people. But without
exaggeration it may bo said that the most
important element in the develop
ment of tho country has been the ap
plication of thousands of ingenious minds
to the problem of mechanical invention.
This mental force is as valuable as the
physical force of all tho water powers in
the world. Indeed, if all tho mill
streams of tho world could bo brought
to this country, ou condition that we
should issue no moro patouts to protect
inventors, the exchange would not bo
worth making.
But it is all important that tho patent
oftloe should be rouinUinod ou a scale
whioh will enable it to do its work with
efllmonoy. It is self supporting even
paying a rovonuo to the govertiuiont by
tin excess of fees ovor tho cost of aduiiu
istration. But tho experienced exam
iners are being enticed away by the
offers of greater compensation by pri
vate firms and corporations, and benco
a majority of them go just when they
have becomo most valuable. That pri
vate parties offer the ex. miners more for
their services than tho government pays,
shows they are worth moro, and
nnder tho circumstances tho demand of
the examiners for incroaxed remuneration
which has been refused by soveral con
grosses, ought to be granted. The value
of tho patent ofllco to theconutry does
not consist in tho revenue- which tho
government derives from it, and it is
more important that its work should be
well done than that a few thousand dol
lars a yoar should be saved. Altu Culi
fornian. Save Your Melon Kccd.
When ono meets with on especially
fine melon upon the table, ho is desirous
of saving the sood. Indeed, tho only
way in whioh a strain of melon can be
kept up to its standard or improved, is to
select seeds from tho bost specimens. In
raising melon sood for tho market, tho
growers allow tbo fruit to get much
riper than is desirublo for eating; this
gives a greater yield of plump seeds,
which ore more perfect than if the fruit
were taken in its best condition for out
ing. In tho operations of tho kitchon,
the contests of tho melon ore sure to bo
thrown owny, ond w hoever would savo
seed from them must attend to tho open
ing of tho fruit himself, l'luco tho con
tents of tho best melon in a bowl or other
convenient vessel, cover them with wa
ter, and allow them to stand for a
few days to ferment. They should bo
looked to stirred every day, and whon
it is found that tho seeds full from
thoir attachments to tho bottom of
the vessel, tho refuse is to bo removed,
the seed washed and sprend out to dry
upon boards or a cloth. Tho socds of
water melons aro much less likely than
those of other molons to bo perfect at
the tlmo tho fruit is in eating condition;
hence seed-growers allow wuter melons
to got dead-ripe or rotten ripe bofare
they beparuto the seeds. Of the saods
separated when the fruit is eaten, a share
will grow, ouch seoita should oo col
lected, wahhed and dried. In sowing
waterrael jn seeds of any kind, it is well
to recollect that a largo majority aro
worthless, and to bo liberal accordingly.
With onenmbers, allow a few of the ear
liest and best shaped to ripen on the
vines for seed. All others, if not wanted
for use, Bhould be removed, and not
allowed to exhaust tho vines uselessly.
Whon thoroughly ripe, gather the cu
cumbers and cut thorn lengthwise, scrape
out the contents into a vessel, and allow
thorn to ferment until the seeds are freed
from mucilage which surrounds thorn,
and can be washod and driod. Ameri

(jlood Advice to Brides.
When the bride on her bridal journey
is a sensiblo young person, she will keep
her silk suit in ber trunk tor a suitaoio
occasion, and will not woar it on the
i-ailraod train. A pretty young girl tho
other day making an expodition to the
Cutskills, and leaving New York on a
rathor cool morning woro a black silk
dress, but a white Spanish fishu, with a
broad Gainsborough nat ana nouuing
plumes. It got quite cool on the cars on
tbo northern journey, but thore was no
wrap available. It she had a shawl it
was picked away in ber trunk. The
groom, who baa givon no advice evi
dently to his spouse, or, perhsps didn't
know, bad a stout cheviot suit and must
have been, as be looked, quite com tort
able. Arriving at the railroad terminus
and taking the vtage for the further pull
up the mountain, it made one's teeth
chatter to see bow confidently the
little bride climbed into the
vebiclo, still in the eiry
fishu, not a aorap of woolen for her
shoulJers, and her face whito with the
cold. Probably in bur modest outfit
there was a flannel drew or a woolon
stuff of some kind, intended for the
house. If she had put tha', on for the
journey, and saved her best black silk
for borne uses, sho would be more nearly
on a level with the city persons who left
their diamonds at the bank, and had
taken two woolen suits and one cotton
gown for a fortnight's journey among
the mountains. Home, and not hotel
parlors, and least of all, not the parlor
oars, is the phtce to wear one's pretty,
airy clothes. In a public crowd, on a
journey, all delicate me ar is sure to en
counter dust, rain or chilling cold; the
nUinest flannel suits are the best for
climbing, beach lounging and comfort
generally. Phila. Publio Ledger.
