Foundrymen, Miners and Mechanics, find the Ivory Soap the best to wash up with after work is done. It removes dirt and grease quickly, and is easily rinsed off, leaving the skin soft and smooth. Ivory Soap floats, so if dropped into the water is not lost, for it rises quickly to the top and floats like a chip. Ivory Soaf lasts long and costs but little. A WORD OF WARNING.

There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory' they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine.

What One Woman Did, From tht Brooklyn Time. Mrs. Mary h.

Barr, who Is making herself Known as a writer of Scotch dialect stories, hardly touched pen to paper un to the aee of 54. She lost her husband, who was military Governor of Texas, and seven children In the space of twenty-four hours from yellow fever and found herself left with four little ones and fifty cents on her hands. In course of time she drifted, as everybody drifts nowa- adajs, to New York, and became a governess In the family or one of A. T. Stewart's part ners.

In Papantl's Hall, not a great many years ago, I overheard a keen-eyed woman, retained there, I believe, as an assistant teacher of steps to rmall children, aay, In speaking to an on looker There are some children come here that I pity from the bottom of my heart, they go through such a purgatory of snubbing! I wouldn't subject a child ot mine to It for all the accomplishments In the world." Even the domestics of certain families are quite Imbued with the feelings of the em-plo; ers. Not long tgo I beard a lady on the Back Bay laughingly tell ot an old housekeeper who bad spent nearly all ber days with one family atd still served a member ot it One of the most taiked-of of Boston's newly rich fami lies lives do? by thlsfalthful asked her a question about their social goings-on, which are pitched on a scale of splendid extravaganca "Indeed, I know nothing about them except what I see from the windows." was the reply. 1 make it a rule to discourage our help from having anything to say to theirs, so I never hPar a word from the rarvennes Even baby carriages on the same street far from affiliating, are known to look askance at each other, and the uassages-at arms are retailed where they will be appreciated.

One thing, bowever, In this line is much changed domestics now freely ex change eetvlce from families of old to new conditions ot wealth, which good authority concurs In saying was not the case a generation or two ago. An elderly dame says that In Interrogating new help in the old an time she as frequently met with the following delicate feeler: "I want to be sure that them I work for, ma'am, is first-class. I never served any other, and I don't want to hurt me reference." In those days, too many well-placed mistresses could, through caprice or malice, keep a servant from earning her bread through denying a reference In this respect surely, the tables have turned with a ven geance, unr present generation no oecome mire refined of phrase, and learned how to carry Insolence to a fine art, but It dosu't get its blood np as of old. One could hardly hear to-day of a young matron of a leading family being summoned Into court for striking her handmaiden, as did really happen in the not so very remote past of which we are speak-Irg. There was vastly more of the spirit ot old English bullying to the front then, and It was really this and nothing else that gave such peculiar pungency to some of the characteristics of the old merchants.

Johiwtoit. MI88 CROCKER'8 TROUSSEAU. Some Wedding Garments of 850,000,000 Itrlde. from tht Sew Fork World. It a trousseau of almost fabulous richness, wedding presents, to compute the value of which requires several naughts added to the first figure, and a fiance who is perfectly de voted, will make a bappy bride, that blissful being Is found In tbe person of Miss Harriet Crocker, who marries Mr.

Charles B. Alexan der, of this city, Tuesday at noon, In Grace church, San Francisco. The wedding dress Is of heavy white satin with long court train, bordered with flounces of fine point de Venice lac (3, under which peeps out a light feathery fringe of silver. At Intel vals these flounces are draped with graceful trailing vines of orange blossoms. Tbe front Is covered with flounces of the sams lace arranged In an artistic manner, and eacl one beaded with broad bands of silver aid crystal passementerie.

From beneath the flounces gleam tbe same light fringe of sliver corresponding with that on the train. At the sides are jabots of lace, festooned with trail ing vines and clusters of orange blossoms. The corsage Is cut open, displaying masses of rich lace, and a garland of orange blossoms extends from the right shoulder diagonally to the waist. A peculiarly pretty and ifualnt effect is produced by a slight puffing on the hlrs. Her traveling dress is of fine gray camel's hair of a soft and neutral shade.

The skirt Is made with broad, lengthwise plaits, quaintly embroidered and caught with silver gilloox The bodice Is In Louis XVI style with silver vest and broad collar and eutU To this is a graceful nuutUia, with Cipuchlo hood at the back and long scarf ends In front knotted at tbe waist Another costume well worthy of description is of two shades ot mauve. The six panels are of delicate gauze, embroidered In silver. Tbe bottom of the petticoat is cut In Van dykes, edged with a light tracery of sliver embroidery. Beneath this Is a soft plaiting of tulle. The front Is a mass ot sliver and crystal embroidery.

The sleeves are decided ly rove), consisting of puffs or embroidered gauze attached to the shoulder In such a mai- cer that the whole looks like an Immense bat teiily. Another, a visiting costume, Is of two shades of gray, the petticoat made of steel- gray bangallne, with a narrow stripe of piarl satin. This Is arranged In bread plaits slop frig towards the front and brought up high on the nfrs. Ihe back is draped full and plain. Tbe jacket Is of Louis XVI style, of plain steel gray bangallne, with full ve3t of pe.rl- gray satin caught in at tbe waist with a broad sash of black crepe de chine, which fastens on the side, terminating In fringed ends Th collar and cuffs are a la mousquetaire, with large, finely cut steel buttons.

Still another visiting costume has a fringe of heavy white slur, extending from the waist to the bottom of the skirt of faille Francalse. The polonaise waist is arranged in line plaits whicn extend to a cetwork of heavy white silk cord. The reveres are adorned with beautifully cut jet buttons. The back drap eries are very effective. A charming black- and-white bonnet corresponds with this costume also a parasol of heavy white silk cov ered with an edge of the same.

The handle Is a masterpiece of carved ebony, inlaid with sliver. Another feature of the trousseau Is the tea gowns. The model for one of these is seen on a Greek statue in Paris. Tbe material is white India gauze with small train. Mecblln lace falls In cascades from the throat to the feet Tbe angle sleeves are so voluminous that they touch the floor, and are fastened with tiny bows of white moire, which only partially conceal tbe arm.

A classical drap ery Is tbiown over the figure, rendering tne Illusion complete. Space forbids mentioning tbe many others. There were nearly twenty- four In all. The balf-mournlng character Is fully preserved throughout as tne orders were completely changed after the death of the bride's sister-in-law. SOCIAL FLORAL DECORATIONS.

gome of the Mewt Ideas of New York Florists, From the Brooklyn Timet. The other day a lady gave a luneheon and went to a floiist's to order some flowers for the table. It was just before Easter, and she found It almost impossible to obtain the flow ers she songht, or, In, fact, any at all. "They are hall hengaged for Heaster," she was told, but when In place of cut flowers the man sug gested that "mebbe yer 'ave some potted plants hat 'ome you could 'ave," she felt her heart growing lighter. The man further Informed her that growing plants were fashion able for table decoration, and so pleased was she with the Idea that she resolved to start a fashion of hnr own.

In the center of the table she placsd a rumpled scarf of pale pink Chinese silk; In the center oi tbat a pot in wbich grew some carnation pinks. To cover the plain terra cotta pot she made a veritable petticoat of pale green silk plaited at the top, which fitted exactly around the edge of the flower pot and bung down to the table. At tne lour corners of tbe scarf were smaller flower pots, each filled with some different variety of growing plant Some pansies had a silken cover ot lavender, a tall white hyacinth, one ot pale pink, a yellow jonquil of blue, and a blue hyacinth of a yellow silk drapery. These were some plants that usually stood In a sonny window of her library, and here they were "doing the grand" at a feast Everybody present congratulated the hostess on ber beautiful and novel table decoration, not knowing that It would never have baen bat for tbe fact that all other flowers were engaged for Easter. I suppose many a fashloa Is started just this way.

Neceislty Is truly the mother of invention. Sneaklne of novel ways of nsingfloirer3. Mrs. Hicks-Lord Is celebrated, and justly so. for ber beautiful arrangement of flowers, which she seems really to love.

At her receptions one sees on the top of an ebony cablnent perhaps fifty beautiful tiny cut glass vases. Soma are Bohemian some of tbe rarest Venetian glass, with heavy gliding, but all are beautiful and costly. Each glass holds three or four blossoms of mignonette, and the effect en chanting. It st ems to give new beauty to the flower, because It is not roue tit into clow proximity with others, and more delightful than all comes the delicious odor, unadulterated, filling the air with the perfume, Increased a hundredfold. Oil a table are as maDy more or these tiny vases, each holdlDg one or two Booztfme rosfs, all by themselvps, wh.le the mantel is adorned with yellow jonquils similarly ar ranged.

The beauty and effectiveness of this airangement are wonderful. Each floarerls seen to advantage, and gives forth its own In-div'dual perfume and remains wlthoul wilting arh'tiger than If the tl ivrrilwre iuu-mhii fegelher, half hidden, as is the case Inhume The Bummer Stylos In Girls Is Dashing, Straight and Btrong. Painty Wrists get with Springs of Bteel Bow She Will Dresa to Pull Boat or Bide a Tricycle Canoeing Not a I'arorlteHport The Gowns tor Tennis Playing. From the Ntv Torh Mail and Exprm, Fiom the deck of a ferry boat crossing the East river, I saw a young girl In a canoe. She was alone In tbe cockleshell which pltchoi about merrily In the chop of an East river t'de.

It was high noon and the long double paddle glanced In the sunshine as the self-possessed sailor picked her way through the procession of tugs, running under the bridge and beading for the Battery. Shades of her grandmother. That good dame had nerves, but this little lady heul nerve. Good sirs and ladles fair, the girl of the day has muscles. Majbap she can stir together a puldlng or sew up a seam.

Terhaps she reads Browning, perhaps she Is a metaphysician, or a thaoso-phlst Heaven help her not unlikely she illrts a bit or coquettes, but her dainty wrUts are set with springs of steel. One day a couple of weeks ago there was a bicycle leaning against a little stone church uptown. A tricycle stood by Its side and fifteen mcae bicycles were stacked on the church treen. The owners of the vehicles were attending the marriage of a wheelman and wbeelwoman Inside. Presently out came the bride and groom, both In fresh club colors, and wheeled away on their marriage trip' for a 200 miles spin.

It would bave looked more sociable to the ordinary eye If they bad rid den a tandem, but the time may come In tho course of their partnership when their steeds will suit each other's paces better than now. Tbe tricycle will be ridden this summer much more extensively by women than has been the case In any year before. For one thing tbe machine Is an expensive foible and It bas taken some time to make Its way. I Is heavier than the bicycle, too, and a little unfair to the weaker sex in handicapping it at the start In point of peed'. la spite of these disadvantages, however and they are not nearly so noticeable as in the lumbering things that went by the same name a half dozen years ago tie tilcycle, aid especially the Improved tandem that allows husband and wife or lover and lass to ride togetter, is gaining ground rapidly, and Mr.

and Mrs. rennell will find mauy Imitators In their vacation trips on the wheal. Trl cjcllrgls an exercise that calls for special dn-ss. Nobody who has baen through the dusty ar.d oily experiences of wheel life will thick of disputing that fact. The gown worn by the experienced Is always of a medium v.

eight woolen material, and In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred Is quiet and uncon sptcuous In color. English women choose al moet without exception ia flannel or merino combination of ordinary walking length with oveidrcfs made as simple as possible, loose trousers to match the dress in color, blaoi woolen Etocblngs, Norfolk Jacket, straw hat, a club ribbon and a free and substantial walk ing boot. American women, as a rule, have not jet adopted the trousers, but wear a skirt cf slightly different out The dress used by the women riders In Central Park thU spring snows a skirt wlthont back drapery, but orna mtnttd as I lie wearer's fancy chooses In front. For length it Is like the usual promenade tlrpf but has a slope of about three Inches behind to prevent lifting by the saddle at the back, For bead gear one should choose a light weight cap of the same color as the dress, or on a long trip or parade a ventilated helmet. Kid gloves are out of order.

Silk and linen or lisle thread are tbe only things allowed on the wheel. For underwear the same rules that govern the boating dress bold; flannel next the skin, no corset nor crinoline and as few skirts as may be. CANOEISO NOT A FAVORITE BPOBT. Canoeing bas not grown to be a favorite sport with women asyet, but like tricycling, Its day Is yet to come. The successor of the birch bark Is a toy so dainty, and withal an Instrument so true that it is impossible to make its acquaintance without falling pros trate before Its charms.

Girls at the summer resorts not Infrequently show themselves good oaiswomen, but If they knew the bewitch mentsofthe paddle they would not fash themselves long with the oar. The tandem canoe that enables tbe skipper to ship a stout joung man for the voyage Is the only variety in which a woman often trusts herself In the oft water tides about New York, but on a smaller river than the Hudson or by a lake side the ten pound buck-tails that the Adirondack trappers sometimes employ, and that skim over the water almost of their own volition, are the Ideal vessels for a solitary maidenly cruise. There are alwat women good sailors some of them at the annual cauoe meets at the Thousand Islands, and the canoeists of New lork are building this spring an extension for feminine use to their club house. Canoe ing is an active sport or a lazy one, as you clidose to make it, and whether the lady lies on a cushion In the bottom of the croft and reads a novel In the shadow of the sail, or wbether she loves the grip of the paddle too well to resign It altogether to masculine bands, a boating gown is, or ought to be, a sine qta non ot her summer's enjoyment. The canoeing dress and the yachting gown for practical purposes are one.

Ability to std rid water and a disposition to keep themselves out of the way are the essentials ot botb. Mies Britannia Is apt to be a little more sensible In Borne ways than Miss Columbia that Is to say, she weighs the respective rewards of comfort and appearances, and If the odds are cot too great, comfort carries the day. In a word, Miss Britannia go9s abroad In a blouse or loose jacket, straight skirts and short onei, too. Miss Columbia bas a quick eye to the beauties of a trim waist and graceful draperies, and takes her comfort In looking well. The English way Is the better one, it seems to me, inasmuch as the gowns may be just as pretty.

For material, flannel is better for fresh water than for salt There is noth ing that will stand a dash of the brine without growing stiff, discolored and uncomfortable, except a fine close serge that one can only hit on cow and then, for color, two combi nations will reign this year. The Immemorial blue, not trimmed with tbe equally Immemorial white braid, but embroidered with a stout white silk cord and a dork brown with tint of red on It brightened with streaming ribbons of red. When tenhls was Introduced into this CDua- (ry a dozen years ago, it was seized upon at once as the pretty girls' own game. It Is a pretty pastime and becoming to both sexes alike. Men have a chance to air their rare coquetries and their of times superb physical development girls to show as In no other way their delicate figures, graceful ways and rosy, laughing faces.

Tennis gowns have undergone few changes this spring. White is now, ever, the favorite color. Oae can take more solid comfort, though, In a tan color, dust or ecru, and make prettier poses If thit any object on the grass as well. Arthtlo combinations of blues, greens, red! and browns suggest themselves readily enough to the ingenious girl's imagination and redound ber credit In September as well S3 June. 'inetennH gown Is liberal In Its rules for the making, and calls only for sleeves Urge enough cot to cut at the elbow, a waist broad enough In tho back to allow fall us ot the arms in running, skirts that are light, and it any, high enough to allow full use the limbs In running.

The low tennis shots are better than the high ones, giving greater erection to the angles for that 1'ght jump in tbe air that so often defeats tbe professional accuracy ot the arms la overhand or I1SANC1AL.
