Some have wreaths of gay flowers winding around the leg from instep tokneo; others have a large bouquet of bright-colored flowers adorning the instep, and agaip, some very stylish ones ars shown having horizontal stripes estending across ooly the {ront of the leg and over the instep, Chemises to be worn with thin summer dresses have no eleeves, only a narrow band across the shoulders edged on either eide with lace or embroidery. Many of the coreages to imported dresses buiton close around the throat, and are finished with & high collar, around which is fastened a dog-collar of gold orgilver. This arrangement dispenses with a bow or tie. Some very pretty jackets for evening wear aro mads of alternate stripes of biack velvet ribbon and Valencienues insertion. Around tho cdge of the sacque i3 ¢ heavy fall of white lace. These juckets ure made both with and without sleeves. In the latter case, the arm-Loles are finished in iike manner with the bottom. Cream- colored cuffs and collars of cambric, with tie corners worked in Greek squares of Llue, scarlet, gray, or black washing wool, are dainty and becoming addi- tions 10 morning dresses, Some faenionable sun-um- Drelias have the handle of bone, in the shapeof the Tower portion of s horse's leg, the shoe being of ivory, Deld in place with silver nails, The silks most used in 1o making and trimming of ATE aro the frosted, the turquoise, and the drap des Indes.

Long white illusion-srings find favor on even- ing hats, They are attached underneatl the Lt at the back, whence they faston in_front at tho throat with & small bunch of flowers. Apropos of flowers, those on the spring iata are very small and fine, Lergo flowers aro voted vulgar, - Wheat gnd [grasses gono to seed are largely used. A very pretty Liat has 4 turned-up brim, faced with black velvet, ‘across which is 3 wreath of wheat, Tho crown is en- circled with similar wresth; st the back isa double bow of cream-colored gilk Lield in placo by a bunch of exqusitely tine scarlet flowers. ~ A very handsome bonnet is of the much admired capoto sliape, and is made of black ..

Ends of silk netedged with the lace como from tho back of the bonnet, and, after winding around the neck, are clasped at the neck with 2 corresponding buckle and tiny bouquet of white and purple violets. Now that in view of the warm weath- er, 3 disposition is shown to diseard the heavy acarfs soTmiversally worn during the past season, some very pretty kerchiefs of Iace come forward to replace theni.

A VERY HANDSOME DRESS 18 of myrtle green silk, the skirt having 3 deep kmife- pleated flounce surmotnted by two doublo puffs, A polonaise is made of sine camel's-hair and haa around the edgo two Ainger-wide folds of velvet, an_eightn of an fnch apart; theso bands are of dark myrtle-green, and are finished at the top with small points, each ter- ‘minating with a small button and tassel. A chatelaive ‘pocket of velvet and camel’s-hair, with & fringe of but- tons and taseels, completes this very stylish costume. IN WRAPS, the Dolmans still take procedence. Some very hand- S0ma ones 2ro of black &1k, rich with haud embrodery, and consequently exceadingly costly. Others are esutifully trimmed with guipure ‘or thread lace. Some of cashmere aro very siylish, while thase for traveling are in shape like full-dress wrape, but made chiefly of striped or plaided flanncl. Thess Dolmans are, miany of them, much like the oid-fashioned * cir- culars * that enfolded our great grandmothors, and seem to prove that fashion is confined to a circle, and ‘periodically reaches the sume pointa. Silk handkerchiefs, with borders harmonizing or contrasting effectjvely in color with the dress, take ence of linen oues. Some very prouty and Dovel mouchoirs have a fun-like pleating of fne linen cambrie at each corner, while the sides avo finished with 3 broad hem, headed witn double row of hem- stifching. The handkerchiefs most in demand are of the delicate cresm tint which has created sucha furore, Butwe find now that ecru occupies a divided throne and shures its popularity with a new shads just imported, and which promises to win gemeral favor. It is known as ecruperle, and 1w best described as pearl-gray, with a slightly bluish tinge intermingled with the merest auspicion of crimson, which renders it moet effective. It is shade calcu- Jated to blend beautifully with plum and navy-blue, anQ is already seen 1 many stylish imported cos- tames. Among eome exquisits toilets is shown AN EVENING DRESS of cresm-colored natte, striped with pale blue and cfe-su-lait over plus “The skirt 1s of blue silk, with thres rows of knife-plesting. The tunic of the fancy goods is trimmed down the front with o _double Tucheand around the edge witha tino plisse of milk. The Eides of the bodice and the sieeves are of blu silk, the front and back of tho striped natte. A tasteful pieat- «d anmoniere of bina silkand faille makes a pretty 2ddition to this beautiful costume, Polonaises sxil hold thelr own ; indeed they rank first and bighest. The basque is naturally a favorite with ladies of slen- der, symmetrical figure, but to those with broad anout- ders nud fall hips give the polonaise. Some very pretty vinsigrettes are made of pearl shells (clams or oyster) rimmed and tipped with sil- ver, The mets] mauis still retains its original vigor. any of our fashionable lidies, arrased in dresses “ghot” with gold, silver, or steel, aad wimmed with ‘braid and gimp, resplendent with fhreads and strands of the same metaly, look more like men in armor than ‘womanly women. Some new cChatelaines have thres chains pendsnt from the beit, one beuring s tablet, another a pencil, while to the third the fan is attached.

Special Correspondence of The Chtcage Tribune, Pauts, April 7.—As all the caprices of fashion sesm to have exbeusted themselves, there is nothing really new to notice for the coming sea- Bon, unless & rovival of simplicity may be so considered. An effort to revive the polonaise has partially succeeded, while " the Princess, the cuirasse basque, the Watteau are equally in vogue, Evening dresses somstimes have large pockets on the protext of garniture, and are or- namented with puflings, bows, ruching, and sometimes with branches of flowers. Tuere never was a broader field for the exercise of fancy sod individual taste, as fashion is mo longer sbsolute. Exaggerated and vulgar imi- tauons of stereotyped styles render every nov- olty s0 common that the most recherche toilettes are those which evidence simple elegance and originality. s The novelty of the season in dress-material i3 fonlard crepe de chine, which is extremoly beautiful and fustrous, and will replace the crape de chive of Jast year. It comes in dark, rich colors, brilliant hues, and cameo tints. The lust are exceedingly distingue, aud very rare. Even modern fancy work assumes time's impress, and embroideriug silks and Zephyrs are used in passo tints to bestow the * patiner” of ago, as artista say. It 18 to be questionod, however, whether We can compote with needle-work that often vied in Deauty with paintinga af the old Italixn schoot, and zdorned the pulaces of Kings. This art gave rise 0 iu- ventions for & more epcedy manufacture of regal ‘bangings and sdornmenta; and, under the auspices of Lous XIV., Govelin perfected his celebrated tapestry.

ODR OPEBATIC WOLLD is clonded with dramatic immorality, and the music of thioso oroductions only deserves attention. The rap- resentation of one Of OUT Lew Opercttes, * La Petita Mariee,” proves that it balongs to tho family of bouf- founeries of the broadest ssuse, and it is to bo rogret- ted that the musical talents of Lecog have been 50 musdirectea a8 to assist in pampering the degenerato txsta of the age, and accepting the bait of enormous sums to minister to popular rity.

The Good Sense and Artistic Spirlt Visi- ble in Every Portion of Aldine Square. A TUnique and Oharming Residence Quar- ter: Ita Attractions and Advantages. 2t A Handsome Unity of the Rural and Metropolitan, We believe that the nomadic instincts of West- ern familics are chiefly duo to the unattractive surroundinga which prevail even in the cases of the more elegant of our residences. The in- terior of a kome may be ever o beautifal, but if the front windows look out upon a dusty street ora row of straggling rookeries across the way, or if the:rear view gives only dismal roof-tops, back-kitcheus, sheds, and stables for its vista, it is but & question of time for the eyo and ‘tho hoart to weary and to long for a change. The family that lives & generation throngh in one bouse in any Western city phenomenal. i THE ALMOST INVARIABLE RULE is to wander from one spot to another, vainly seeking for permanent location and rest. The house which is built and furnished at a heavy expenase, aod which is intendad to bo at least tho life-abode of parents and children, is absudoned 10 8 fow years,—sold or rented,—while the oriz- inal occupants incur fresh cost for a new estab- lishmeut elsowhoere. Europe, families live in the same homesteads for centuries, the manor-house being banded down from father to son a8 the prondeat of logacies. In tho Eastern States this attachment to o single time-jonored homo is not uncommon ; but Chicago knows, a8 yet, of no such rule, and we stray from one quarter of the city to zoother, as restiess as Arabs. THIS UNEASY BYIRIT, : which is wholly prejudicial to comfort and general peace of mind, besides mulitating againat the general and imdividual prospenity of the community, 18 likely to be finally conquered bero, as it has boen in the older pertions of the world. Tho single elemont vecessary to bring abous this chango is to make everything 10 and aronnd our homes 80 attractive that the craving to_ex- periment in other directions will be impossible. A great stop in this desirable way has just been made. ‘The good judgment and vigorous action of one mun has given thrifty hife to a building cnterprise which is the pioneer of 1its kind, and must ever remain an admirable model for future workers in the same commendable Line. A YEAR'S TIME has seen magical work effected on Vincennes avenue, just below Thirty-seventh street. It has secu the inception, carrsing forward, and realization of -a plan of private residences" which for convenience and beauty is unsurpassed in the United States, A contemporary journal has recently commented npon the swiking ad- vantages and maoy excellencies of the place, and Tie TRIBUNE, after o thorough 1nspection, can bat join heartily in all that bas been said. THE NAME OF ALDINE SQUABE bas besn bestowed upon a tractof land and its striking improvements, situated at the locality mentioned. To those who have not yet visited the place the nemo carries no particular mean- ing or suggestiveness. To thoso who have, and their number is already large, Aldine Square mesns an assembiage of carefully-demigned and handsomely-bmilt homes, grouped sym- metrically around a charming park, the whole forming the brightest and most obeerful resi- deuco portion of Cuicago. The enterprise’ was conceived and has beea matured by U. P. Smuth, Esq., the owner of several acres in'the neighborhood named, who had long intend- ed to improve his property in a map- per thst would rodound to the city’s good name aod tohis own material benefit. After patiently elaborating Lis project and get- ting s ideas npon the subject into practical shape, he proceeded to put _them mto taugible, endaring form, and Aldiue Square began to bud into existance about one year ago. No minute has been wasted since that time, and atthe present writing the work is mainly finished, aod a portion of the honses have been sscared by owners, who, we venture to predict, will navar care to look elsewhere for permanent homes, Aldine Square consists of a continuous series of elsgant two and three story stons structures, lining’ TREE SIDES of aspacious and besutiful park. Thers are twonty-four houses altogether, and all are of handsome design and finigh, within snd withoat. While an ariistic uvity of exterior has been presented, special care Las been taken to avoid monotony, and thorough variety exists in compa- ny with perfect general harmouy of detail. The buildings ars of light stone in some instances, and of dark in others. There are plain fronts and swell fronts, and the fact tbat a portion of them are three stories high winle others adjoiniog thom are a story lower gives effective broken sky-linea all around. The dwellings are conveniently arranged, and are finishea. inside and out, with the utmost care. The houses have a frontage of 22 feet and up- wards, with a common depth to the lota of 125 fiaat, the rears of all the lots coming upon leya. Among the innumerable novel conveniences of the place is a large and completely-appointed LIVERY-STABLE, which has been built behiud tho houses at the southwest corner of the square. Tnis ie airy, commodious, has accommodacions for soventy horses, and has been leased to an experienced liverrmsn who is pledged to keep s first-class establishment. The horses and carriages owned by resideuts of the square will be cared for here at mmmum figures, and teams wiil be on hire for those who do not desire to msintain their own turn-outs. An omnibus isto be yun be- tween tho s8quare and the Douglas place rsilroad depot whenever the woath- er is bad. The stable is to Le in telegraphic commuuication with every houso in the square, & knob touched In any residence soundiug an annuncigtor in the stable, aud bringing 8 man to whom orders may be given. But despite the elegance and msnifold com- forts of the buildingc, we are inchined to think that the groat and Iasting attraction of Aldwe Square will centre in THE BEAUTIFUL PARK. ‘This stratoh of plezsure ground lyiog in front of the homes ia studded with Iargo, healthy trees, and contains a fine, clear pond, in the middlo of which are two busy fountains, and over which is thrown a graceful bridge. A broad macadamized drive runs clear around the park, and charming paths twine in and out among the lawns and trees. A smooth tessel- ated walk encircles the place, connecting all the houses. The huge - leaved aud many-colored out-door plents which have been an admired feature in our public parks are all ready to bDe get out within this captivating inclosure as soon aa the weather is upon its nesured good behavior, - The eide of the square which comes direct upon Vincennes avenue presents to the street a solid carved stone wall, with an_imposing car- riage entrance in the middlo and s pedestrian passage-way &t either end. This wall, while not 80 high a8 to in tho least shut the square from outside view, gives an intimation of the privacy of the inclosure, and unmistakably says that . the park should mnot be more than semi-public. Ornate lampa surmonnt the columne at the sides of the carriage gatewsy, and other lamps within give an abundance of light in tais darkast of nights. Of the forty-two completed houses, fifteon ars already occupied, and the residents ocomprise members of the city's FOREMOST SOCIAL CIRCLES. ‘The remainiog residonces are, we understand. for eale, but not for rent. The owner is using commendable discration, and does not al- low the houses to pass into the hands of sny but strictly firstclads parties, He lives thors himself; his neighbors are all of unquestioned social position and repute, and ttus high character is to be maintained. Aldme square will always be a community of excellent families, owning their individual homes, and haviug 8 joint pride in each other andim the beautiful park which is their commou property. ‘The agency for the sale of these housesis in the hands of Mr. W. D. Kerfoot. Fora plessant whiling away of a few hours to-day and comirg Sunday, we commend our readers to A VISIT to Aldine Square. The Cottaze Grove and In- diana avenune cars run on either side of it a few plocks away. The Grand DBoulavard is just be- hind it, and, 88 with aucient Roms, all roads seem to lesd toit. The Squsre is only twenty minutes’ drive from the heart of the city, while the - railway station at Thiurty-Afth street gives still snother regulsr daily means of access, In acoessibility, ss in &l “things elge, Aldine Square is peculiarly favored, That it is to become at once the abiding- place of exacily forty-two contented and pros- porous families 18 evident. The houses yet un- sold are held at the most honorabls of ‘prices, and it is wholly impossible that coming pur- chasera should see their property do other than advance in worth. They will be the happy own- ers of valuable homes, and who can doubt that their chitdren’s children will he found living in the =ame dwellings, bleasing the propitious fates that gave permanent existence to Aldine Bquare? —— Elegant Furniture at Reasonablc Prices, ) It will doubtless bo mews {0 our readers to i learn that the great forniture-handling firm of A.
