New Yorx, May 18. -The warm weatber isupon us with & vengeance, and everybody has emerged from the chrysalis state into full-fledzed batterfly brilliancy. The display ol gorgeons fabrics re- solved into captivating costumes Is something pe- wildering. There are few new ‘materials other tham taose you already know of, but the variety is &0 great asto be distressing, and even a novelty now and toen onlyadds to the perplexity. A very charming new fabric is of joulard, some clear, dark color brightened and enriched with a shower of tiny stars of some light finely-contrasting shade. The staris in eilk or satin, thereby giistening most prettily. A very sttractive sort of this sil has 2 ground of myrtle green foulard, the star being in tillenl silk; another has a ground of rich bronze tint with a tiny star of cardinal redeatin. A third style. has asurface of palest fawn or wood color, aiversified by stars of delicate roscand blue. This foularais comoined with & handsome biue silk skirt and sleeves, ana the trim- mings are fringes containing the threc shades and double-faced ribbon. rose and blue. This material is most attractive, and is designed only for portions of costumes. It is 0dd to note the decided prefec- ence for light woolen fabrics, They are cxceed: ingly popular. and certainly very pretty. As'l write it is 8o warm, 50 really suliry, that the very word ** waol ™ brings large drops of perspiration to the surfsce, and yet juet bemeath my wmdow paszes an exquisitely fresh and cool totlette of soft gray wool woven into a beautiful ‘materisl known 28 **cobweb cloth.” Ithink I may have mentioned hss before, bur sucha pretty novelty will bear a repetition. Itis made of fine strands of zepbyr wool, loosely jolned or woven Into an open mesh inthe form of diamonds, circles, or &quares, and knotted with a ei,ken thread. It is to be had in all the hight colors, and in brown, both olive and bronze tints. 1t1sintended for combination with silk, over & skirt of the Jatter us a polonaise. The trimming is 2 fluffy fringe of soft wool mincled withsilk. Another handsome woolen material is seaside grenzdine, which 1s made in pretiy lace-like patlerns. A third is seaside barege, which is Cchiefly shown in white, and is a very handsome matenial. It is suitable for dressy ioilettos, and may be rhowily and pleasingly trimmed witn bright-colored embroidery. From one extreme to another rashes the fashionaole fancy, and from *+Brocateile Palmes™ at yard our belles . bave descended fo o species of ‘bed-ticking and toweling, of which. costumes will now be made. These aresses, however, prens ‘better appearance than tueir name wou.d mply. and, tastefally made, taey are well adapted to their purpose of sea-side wearand traveling, Hambarg edgings, the heavy-Kait Jaces, Lorchow or other, are selected for their ornamentation. Some of this 8 of ecru tints, varieguted with 3 stripe of some brignt color, are t}}nlte artractive. Some imported su,is of linen, richly emuroidered ana heavily fringed, are shown. and much admired, ‘but will hatdly become very popular, For the very warm weather are beautiful organdies and lawns that make up exquisitely with trimmings of Va- Jenciennes. The colors in these pretty materials are very lovely, pale rose, delicate blue, 2 .s0ft faint n, and & very handsome tmt of manve that1is ter described as **tender " than clee. A VERY CHARMING TOILETTE of this sbnde of organaic is made with the long trained akirt ornamented with three-finger-wige pleatings 12id very dne. These are edged with ch-wide Valencicnnes, very fine ana beautiful. The overdress in front, & very long apron, is edged by a plisee trimmed with Valenciennes, and sbove she pleating, inserted into the apron itself, are theee rows of inch-wide insertion. The vack of this tablier is cut ip ope decp point, falling direct- 1y in the centre, and Jaid in the middle in three.| upturned folds, secured by a bow of argandie trim- med with lsce. The edge of this poin. s trrmmed to match the tablier. “The prettiest. most novel feature of tnis aainty little toilette, is the walet, A beautifully fitting Digh-neck bodice is made of parrow pufis of finest_white orzandie, divided by bauds of ineertion. The sleeves, reaching half way betwecn the cibow and_wrist, are also of Jenmbwiee pufle, finished by three pleatings of organdie edred with \ alenciennes. The bodice jnfront1s cut balf-way to the waist in a slender point and filled with a rutlle of Valencicnnes.

Foulard is vers popular and it is surely one of the prettiest and most clezant ma- terials that can be selected. A striking and novel material which may rank smong silks is known as ** cashmere ganze,” a rather inappropriate title, a8 it is 1nade entirely of silk. It probably takes its name from cashunere shawle, a5 like them it combincs all the rich Oriental colors mingled ina peculiar pattern. 1t is transparcnt and is naed only for overdress. 1 not ced a pretty juive polo- nujee made of thie materialover a skirt of rich :zmuze lnl}llc.

There were thirty-six lodges in Tenncasee one year ago,- and ¥00 members. Now there are eighty-two lodges and 3,000 members. A novel and successful expedient has bean adopt- ed by the Maryland Kn ghts to secarea Jibrary in connection with their néw quarters for the Grund Lodge at No. 62 West Fayctte street, Baltimore. The Urder numhers some 7,000 members, esch of whom Is required to _contribute one or more vol- nmes, Some of the lodees have aiready eent in their contributions, ond some inJividual ‘members have contribnted a’ dozen or more books. When the returns are completed there 1s ¢« ery reason fo believe that the library will be one of the finest and most extensive in the city. 1t is thought by some that it will have 25.000 volumes.

"Tis over; pearly drops fall sll around, From every leaf, and twig, and blade of green; The birds pipe out ugxin thar chzerful soand— Sip dainty drops, the Interludes between.
