Household Department When the btifband of the house | likes au item of food and the wife | does not, what schedule should be run ns to that particular article? i Any one may answer. The Crown Princess of Sweden is j pleasantly photographed as a peas ant-looking, coarse, masculine per- j son, without a single feature to re- j deem her from being the ugliest, woman in Europe. - - Current rumor has it that among all the toilets worn at a ■certain grand dame’s ball in Paris, none so bewildered the men and exasperat ed the women as a certain gown of pale salmon tinted satin veiled in rosy tulle, the long folds of which were held in place by marabout plumes of a deeper tint, placed singly and half hidden in the misty tulle, while a thick rouche of wav ing marabout feathers of a deeper shade of pink outlined the edge of the skirt. ... ■ •- Ladies write for this 'department and give your sisters the benefit of such experience as you may have in any particular matter connected with the household. We heard a gentleman say last week that there was nothing to ho learned about housekeeping. We regret to say he married a few months since one of Pike’s fair daughters and carried her u way to another county. We expected better of him than to say there was nothing to he leajned. If some of you will write some good articles for this page we will mark them and send copies to him. The pretty girls and comely ma trons of our Northern cities eneour age the semi-barbarous amusements of men by their presence. At the Racquet Club in New York about two hundred turned out to witness the slugging, and they were so de lighted that another festival of the kind is to be had. The presence of the ladies does not seem to rob the sport of gore. If the testimony of the Racquet Club is reliable,the livelier the better Beauty enjoys it. How long before the maidens of all sections will find a charm at the Racquet court? This will probably be a very bril liant winter inWashington society. The weekly receptions of the wives of the members of the Cabinet have already commenced. As it will be their last season at Washington they will endeawor to do something that will be remembered. All the old social forces of successive Re publican Administrations will com bine in the fingl efforts of the ladies of the Cabinet, for the Cabinet is the representative body at Wash ington. Everything, of course, will have to be wound up before the 4th of March us that will be the begin ning ol anew era. Naturally, therefore, the time between now and then will bo crowded with tvents of N°fo- How to Spoil. To spoil steak —Fry it. To spoil coffee or tea-—Boil it. To spoil custard —Bake it too long. * To spoil house plants —Water them too much. To spoil butter —Do not work out all the milk. To spoil pancakes —Bake them oti a luke-warm griddle. To spoil a carpet —Sweep it with a stiff’, half-worn broom. To spoil a beefsteak—Grumble all the while you are eating. To spoil potatoes —Let them lie and soak in water after boiling. To spoil scissors —Cut everything from a sheet of paper to a bar of cast iron. To spoil a pair of garments in their making—Cut them out care lessly and run all the seams. To spoil children —Humor them in everything they happen to think they want. To spoil a school —Change teach ers every time someone in the dis trict finds fault. To spoil bread —Use poor Hour and sour yeast, and let it rise until too light and it runs over. Second Marriages. The mooted question whether second marriages are advisable seems to be settled in the affirma tive by the following bit of philoso phy' from an undertaker in Phila 'deiphia. He says: ‘■The grief of a wife is usually much greater tha that of a hus | band, and both husbands a id wives j who make the most paroxysmal demonstrations of sorrow are gen- I crally the ones whs soonest console ■ themselves with .another conju gal partner. Experience has convinced me, however, that for a ! man to marry within a short time j after the death oflsis wife, or for a I woman to do so soon after the death of her husband is ly no means a mark inf disrespect to the memory ■of the dead. On lihe contrary I have dome to regard it is a tribute to their worth, fori have noticed that it is generally people whojhave had a happy married life that soon marry & second time, while those j whose matrimonial relations have been unfortunate, aae not as usual in haste to again adjust the mat rimonial noose about their necks.’ There are many who can attest to the truth of the undertaker’s ob servations, though the (esthetic or sentimental view of the subject may be against him. What do your Household writers think about it? Hoxjibt John. About Women Folk. The two daughters of the gallant commander of the Confederate for- ! ees, have never married. Miss Mil dred, the eldest, spends much of j her time travelling in Europe, and when she is in America makes her home at her brother Curtis's, at Lexington, Va. Miss Mary also lives with him. Agnes, the young er sister, died during the war. None of the daughters’ever married, and Cuntis is also single. Kenney Lee and Robert E., jr.. are both married and are farming in Virginia. Only one of them has children, and per haps alone through him will the Lee family and the Custis family' be perpetuated. The $125,000 received for the Ar lington estate last winter, repre sents the bulk of the property now in possession of the Lee family. Miss Mary resembles her mother in appearance, and while she is plain looking she is gifted in intel lect. A touching story of which Miss Mary' Lee is the heroine is that after one of the battles near Rich mond, just previous to the close of the war, she and some other ladies went on the field to render whatever assistance they could in the care of the wounded and dying soldiers of her father’s army. One among those to whom she went to offer re lief, was a youth of not over six teen, who had been fatally shot and was ready to expire. She Saw the poor fellow was going to die imme diately, and being struck by*his youth and neat attire asked him if lie had any message to leave be hind. “Yes.” said he; “my name is , and my mother lives at tell her, if you please, that I have j just seen our splendid commander, I Gen. Lee, ride by, and that 1 am j content to die.” That was all. He! never knew it was his splendid com mander’s daughter to whom he was confiding that last message. • * % # Miss Virginia Krehtr, who has made sVieh a favorable impression in the comedy now running at Da ly's theater in New York . is a Ken tucky woman and is well connect ed. While we are not advocates of j women educating themselves for the stage, we can nevertheless ap preciate success by one who chooses that arena. About- three years since she began to prepare for the stage, and studied under John W. Norton, manager of the Grand Op era House in St. Louis. He had been Mary Anderson’s first mana ger, and got a groat name in Louis ville, thereby. A dozen Louisville women have gone to Norton since Mary Anderson achieved success, and begged him to take them in ! charge. He gave none of them any encouragement except Miss Dreher, in whom he at once perceived the material for a successful actress. When Miss Drelier had finished her course of instruction at St. Louis. ! Mr. Norton secured her a place in j Daly’s Company for her. She be gun with modest parts but played them well and made friends. In 1 .ondon last summer she was one of the must admired of Mr. Palv’s company. She is a fiiv> ’ ”xm lookii g lady and the Er pie liked her full rosy cl dresses with remarkable intelligence and refinemt character that is irreproai works hard. Such a w. sure of success, and the tine is not far distant when Kentucky will lx accorded the honor of having I ro il need at least two actresses of Stir ling merit —Mary' Anderson and Virginia Dreher. Uso of Cosmetics. But few farmers’daughters, I am ! glad to believe are addicted to the I use of cosmetics. These destroyers lof complexion and disturbers of j health obtain very little favor from | the rosy-cheeked or brunette girls lof the bright sunshine, pure air, healthful exercise and wholesome diet prevalent in the free fields and | waving forests of thfs glorious land It has long been acknowledged that | the compounds for beautifying the < complexion sold bv the emphyrics, 1 almost invariably ruin the skin and i broduee prematurely the deprecia tory effects of advancing age. Wrin kles and “crows feet” deform the countenance, and the excretory pores of the face become clogged and destroyed by poisonous pastes so that pilatory diseases are pro duced which cause pain and un doubtedly shorten life. On the other hand, females who never resort to cosmetics, or other agency than soap and water and j soft towels to cleanse and beautify I their features, retain youthful ap i pearaaee, and succeed in interost j mg or charming their friends much j longer and better than those who indulge in counterfeit present ments. And why should they not, when according to a learned doc tor, who has recently paid atten tion to the- subject, the fashionable j cosmetics (dog the pores, irritate the skin, and are always prejudical to the health and beauty of that organ. He says, lead, mercury, zinc and bismuth may be absorbed into the system from their applica tion to the skin, produce constitu tional disturbances, and are harm- j ful in their respective order. Dys- j pepsia, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, colic, emaeipation, tu | mors, paralysis and weakminded ness may bo brought on by the use of these preparations. All eos | metios belong to either one or the , other of these classes, produce lo j cal or systematic injury, and are therefore unfit and dangerous, to j use. As counterfeiters of good but j ter are required by law to at tach the. true names of their com pouncs to their packages, lie thinks a law should be passed requiring all manufacturers of cosmetics to print in full all articles contained in their preparations, and at the j same time prohibiting,the sale of those containing the more danger j mis metals. There is no doubt of it. A Mother. She Might Have Been Queen. News has reached this city of the : death of Mrs. Bernice l’anahi Bish op, the wife of Charles Reed Bish- I op, at her residence in Honolulu. Sandwich Islands. For years she j had been afflicted with a cancer, to which her untimely end was un doubtedly due. Mrs. Bishop was the highest chief in the Sandwich Islands, her maiden name being Bernice Ranahi. On the death of Kainehameha V., the last of the original line of native Kings, in 1872, she was offered the throne, but declined it. When King Lun alilo died in 18, I she was again tcc ognized us heir to the throne, but dizain declined it, preferring to re main in private life. Years ago she became the wife of Charles R. Bishop, a native of New York, who went to the Sanwich Islands in 18-17 j and, after pursuing various bran-! ehes of business, finally settled i down as the senior partner in the j Banking firm of Bishop & Cos. He ; has acquired a large fortune, and I his wife was the wealthiest woman j on the islands '„.n her own right.! She was a woman of wide culture, the leader of the best society in j Honolulu, and her elegant, grace ful and generous hospitality is re-j membereil by all Americans ot; character who have visited the is-; lands. She had traveled exten sively, both in Europe and the Uni ted States, her lust visit to this country having been made in 18,(>. When travelling abroad she was about fifty years of age.
