This ts the Wilson Sewing-Machiné Com- pany, of Chicago, which has receutly made an- other characteristic progressive stride by put- ting it within the power of everybody to buy one of its famous machines for $25. The re- marxable mending attachment, which is owned y by the Wilson Company, goes with cach of additional cost, It fs an actual fact that this wonderful attachment is of itself worth the 525, to say nothing of the splendid sewig-machine which it accompanies.

At this season of the year, when the publica- tion of “reports,” “statements,” etc. turns the general attention with even more than usual earnestness to the subject of life-insur- ence, it is pleasant to note how favorable is the universal opinion in behalf of one great organ- ization. fhe National Liie-Ivsurance Coin- pany was first to publish this year.

Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune, _ New York, Feb. 18.—I have a veritable bonne bouche to share with you this week, but-I hope the enjoyment of it may not bring you so many thrills of admiring envy as have well-nigh de- stroyed the content with which I hitherto re- garded my own simple “frocks.” I have just seena whole wardrobe fresh trom Worth, and tosay that it is worthy of him but faintly ex- presses its art{stic elegance. I recall, as I write, so many of the toilettes that struek my fancy and am so eager to tell you of them all that I labor under a really painful “ embarras ‘de richesses.”” One superb toilette is of brocaded silk of the palest blue, combined with an ex- quisite shaac of silk that I can best describe as atilleul with a lemon-green tinge. The long- trained skirt of the former was perfectly plain in the back save for a narrow pleating of silk at the back, beneath which sbowed a balayeuse of Swiss and Valencicnnes. ‘The sides of the skirt were also of the brocade, und after passing the side sexms were q merged into pointed scarfs. These were drawn gracefully across the front and tied in-a careless knot at the left, low upon the skirt. Under this drapery was revealed a petticoat, or a skirt, of the exquisite silk, finished at its foot by a broad box-pleating of the same, The dress has two waists. One a basque cut very low in front, but quite high in the back, and trimmed with lace. The sleeves are formed of diagonal rows of insertion and finished by ruffies of lace. The low-recked waist is of brocade, and has an in- serted centre in the front of the plain silk. There is a most tastefully-arranged bertha of silk, and to the left isa cluster of Iles of the vallev nestling among their leaves. This cor- sage is laced in the back, and has short sleeves formed of 2 puff of silk. The design of the brocade is charming, being a profusion of moss roses and buds mingled with foliage. Auother most elegant toilette is one that to many would be a most trying dress because of its se- vere siinplit which is, however, when worn by its stately owner, one.of its greatest charms. ‘he skirt is of cream-tinted white satin, in the back sweeping far out in glistening folds. The train is laid in side pleats, which impart an ex- tremely graceful effect. The front of the skirt iz trimmed across tne foot by adeep box-pleated flounce of sheerest white Swiss, which is itself further embellished at the bottom by a row of deep rich insertion and edged by ‘fiuger-wide luce. A beautiful shell-like arrangement of satin forms a heading to the flounce. On the sides of the front are two long square ends, which are simply finished with a cording of satin, while the right side is ornamented by a hhaudsome pocket, which tapers to a point far down the skirt. The waist worn with this is a habit-basque, also. of satiu, cut very low in front, and having the corners of the opening round instead of square. The lower edge of the corsage in is finished by a handsome fringe. The reyeais loug, square ends, oruamented with exquisitely-aovel mother-of-pearl buttons, carved something after the mauner of a wheel. The neck is very high here, aud is finished by a standing collar, The siceves are formed en- tirely of the tine white muslin aud rows of rare insertion. his is altorether a most superb dress, one which, from the combined charms of its own richuess and. the wearer's elegance and beauty needs no extravagant ornamentation. A THIRD GORGEOUS COSTUME has the skirt of asoft, heavy silk of a lovely shade that 1 am at a loss to distinguish by name. It is something between cardinal and the rare, rich tints of the ruby. The skirt has the same immense train, which, indeed, is a feature of all of these elegant dresses, and is finished by a pelisse about six faches deep, iaid in exceedingly fine pleats. in front’ and almost entirety concealing this is a deep kilt-pleating reaching to the knees. The tu nique is of bracaded velvet that is as handsome as novel. Ona ground of palest blue and most. delicate gold-colored satin is wrought in rich olive-brown velyet atich and unique pattern. ‘This tunique takes the form of a rounded tab- lier, and is toished by a row of deep, handsome fringe of mingled olive and pale gold: Below this is a fall of the rich-hued silk, also bordered by the fringe, and giving the effect of another tunique under the one of brocaded velret. From the lett side and across the back is draped artistically 2 long sash of pale-blue satin, finish- ed at intervals by Jong drooping loops and ends. As is customary with all of Worth’s dresses, there are two waists. One is high at the back and with an open, low front. -This has trans- parent sleeves finished by twists of most deli- cate blue satin mingled with the same rich color fro of the skirt. The other is low-necked and short-sleeved, laced in the buck, and trimmed with lace and sutin. Both vorsages are of the brocaded velvet ands both cling to the figare with the graceful accuracy that only the hand of Worth could produce. Ah ine! the sight of all these lovely things urges me almost insensibly to the belicf of a irlend of mine, who in response to an anxious query: “ What is happiness?” answered promptly: To be young and lovely—and to get one’s dresses from Worth! ‘This latter sutely is a wreat de- sideratum, but even a costume from the Master of Modes will not work marvels unaided. There issomethmg, to my ‘mind, which more influ- ences or affects 2 woman's general appearance, and this something can scarcely be expressed. It is what the French term “toa,” the Enelish denotninate “good form,” put which we can but poorly deseribe as *' style.” And yet it is this mysterious but inestimable quality which imparts to some women that elegance and grace which are subtle and sweet as the perfume of violets, though just as intangible. But pardon this tedious digression. I sturted out with the intenti6n of saying simply that the owner of all this splendor adorns no less than she is adorned by it. And now—" revenons a nos mou- tons.” ONE PERFECTLY EXQUISITE COS TOME isa ball dress of white illusion. At least the jong-trained skirt of white satin or silk is com- pletely covered by illusion in puffs, Nounces, etc.,—one single mass of diaphanous whiteness. From the waist depend tong tabs, five in num- ter. One of these falls directly in frout, one on either side, and twoin the back. They are also of white satin, and are completely cop- cealed under the loveliest covering imaginable, Small pieces of mother-of-pearl are cut in stars ubout the size of a silver 5-cent piece, the pecu- Marity of each star being that the points are all rounded instead of-bcing sharp. These are fastened close togethor all over the satin ends insuch manuer that the material is literally hidden. Between these tabs haug'ong branches of beautiful water-lilies, full, opened, and with their slender drooping buds. Tne waist is a closely-tting cuirass, and is pointed back and front. It is one mass of these iridescent stars, and might well be called the armor of a mermaid. Tbe shoulders, left bare, are framed in illusion and wreaths of water-lilics, and a. small putf- of illusion furnishes e is, It is impossible to do ely dainty acostume. As the advertisements say, “It must be scen to be appreciated.” It is one of the latest emanations of Worth’s masterful genius, and, better than all, he bas made no duplicate of it. Two very elegant robes were desiguated -“ tea-cowns,” which to the uninitiated, be it known, are ap- propriate wear for 5 o'clock teas, kettledrums, etc. Both of these are made Princesse. One 6 of the heaviest soft silk of an exquisitely-deli- eaté blue. The dress is made with an extremely long traiv, and is without trimming in the back. Covering the front dowa its entire length is a mass of the richest embroidery, gradually widening as it reaches the bottom of the skirt. This embroidery represents clusters of Margaerites in white silk, mingled with stems and foliage of exquisitely[shaded browns, ‘The work is all nand-wrought, and fs beautiful in the extreme. From the belt down on each side is an opening about one-quarter ofa yard iu breadth. Beneath this is a plain strip of ‘blue satin, covered by a gathered piece of the finest muslin. This latter isornamented at the lower edge by a row of broad Valenciennes {usertion, and is finisted by a deep edging of the same- At three puiuts tho sides of the opening are fastened together aver the muslin by bows of pale blac ribbon. And along other edges of each opening is a vine of the beautiful embroidered flowers. The sleeves”, are similarly ornamented. ‘The second tea-gown is more elaborate, and has acharmingly soft effect. 1 is made of a most handsomé and novel fabric, showing alternate inch-wide stripes of peach bloasom, tinted satin, and plush of the same lovely huc. ‘The front bas a very narrow iusertion of pink satia overlaid by two perpendicular rows of rare lace. The neck is rounded, showing beucath the inserted satin, and on the bosom is a bow of satin-ribbon, witn long loops and ends reuching to the foot of the Tobe. In the back, just below the waist-line, is a deep bournouse pleat, its top edged with a fine plisse of satin. The foot of the skirt is bordered. bya gathered ruffle of satin, over which falls a row of lace. Above this isa pretty arranzement of a pleating which gives a charm- ing effect. The material of the dress is cut lengthwise and is pleated through the centre, 50 that the plas otripe occurs here with a satin onc on either side. Tne sleeves, of satin, arc richly garnished with Ince. Both dresses are lined throughout with quiltea satin.

SCOTCH PLAIDS IN RENEWED FAVOR—THE MODE IN BRACBLETS. Neg York Times. Scotch plaids havé again appeared. Blue and green, with threads of dark red and ald gold colors, are the handsomest. Suits of this ma- terial are made in skirts without trains and long pulonaises, aud also in Princess dresses with the veston and apron taken in with the side seams. The trimming consists of ruchings bordered with faille cordings in the bright color of the sult, and falling below the goods. One impor- tant rule to be observed in making these suits is to have as few seams as possible. A seam down the middle of the back and another under the arm are sulliclent.. As the checked goods now in use have larger checks than usual, they only make dresses suited to slender figures. Plaid stockings, which baye up to the present time only been worn by children, are used with these Suits, and the trimmings and sash are generally in the same colors, to prevent the effect from being too glaring. Cloth suits have become very popular. They have the peculiar “ tailleur” cut, which issome- thing like the riding habit. Taey generally con- sist of a train skirt, plaited in the back. The front and side pieces are tight-fitting toward the top, while the lower partis raiscdin several draperies and fastened dawn in the middle under a failie bow. The waist isa half cuirass with “Directoire ” revers and a postilion basque. It closes down the front by means of tiny metal butions. These same buttons also trim the basque and the rather flat sleeves. The borders of the dress ure generally finished with several rows of stitching, Cloth suits are also made in Princess shape and trimmed with’ cordelieres. If these suits have a square, low neck, and an aumoniere depending irom the sile they are yery similar to the dress worn by Marguerite in “Faust.” Narrow flounces are again coming into fash- jon. For Princess dresses they are only used to cover the supplementary traiu. These flounces are from two three inches deep. They are gathered, aud the lower part is pinked out ortrimmed with *frange mousse” or lace. Either nine, eleven, fifteen, or twenty-one of these flounces are placed’ upon the skirt. ‘This full trimming forms a striking and effect- ive contrast to the flat Princess back. The Princess must be, as it were, independent of the train, and the train may be of different material, such as failie or taffetas, the latter being most suitable for narrow flounces. Light chenille tissue scarfs are used for ain- ner dresses. This material is the same as opera-cloaks arc made of. A’ cream-colored chenilie scarf is very pretty over a faille or faconne skirt. The pompadour material is combined with plain faille. The long train, polonaise, or Prin- cess dress must be of the articie tirst named, white the apron or trimming are of the plain goods. This is most suitable, as all the broche goods should be used for the parts of the toilet forming long unbroken Hucs. When plaited or shirred the goods loses all its character. A Pa- risian dress in this style, {ost completed,consists ofan iyory-colored faille skart, with an apron puffed lengthwise, the ‘puifs being fastened down by means of applique flowers, embroidered by haud. ‘These flowers are an ‘exact infitation of the bougnet of roses, buds, and leares forming the figure of the grenadine Polonaise, which is also worked with silver. The pom- padour train is perfectly plain, terminating with a faille ruching and a rich ‘“ba- layeuse.” The piece in the back forms a Wat- teau V of plain white faille, bordered with fine silver arabesques. The vest is trimmed {n the same miiiner. Tbe revers of the white train have appliques of embroidered flowers. ‘The waist is open in heartghape in the neck and cut very low in the back. It is trimmed with puflings of very light silk tulle, forming a guimpe over the snoulders and breast. ‘Lhe pullings are fastened down by very fine sprays of flowers, which bunch over the shoulders. "A striking contrast of color is observable in some of the new toilets, as, for instance, in dresses of cardinal satin with polonaises of pur- ple velvet with inserted satin putlings. This ensemble of warm colors is admirable. Hand- some evening toilets can, however, be made in the game style with more subdued tints, such as pale’ blue catin for the body of the dress, and a navy blue velvet polonaise with red pipings and sky-blue inserted putlings. Yellowish ereens are still very fashionable for evening wear. Lyons pompadour -grenadines are the newest styles. a Parisian novelty in bracelets consists of gold and silver serpents, which are twisted as many as eleven times around the arm. Serpent designs are yery much used for all articles of jewelry. Handsome pivs are again in use to fasten coiffures and bonnets. The fashion of wearing ornamental caps is now established, It is rather difficult to de- scribe what these cviffures consist of. Many shapes are resorted to, among others the Char- lotte Corday and baby shapes. Tne Catatane is a genuine Italian stvie: its form is a Iont equare surrounded by lace. It is fastened down to the front of the head by means of a gilded Japanese pin. The coiffure includes lace, rib- hon, crape, flowers, beads, and jewels, ‘There are two kinds of puffs. One is made of gauze, tulle, or tulled lace, trimmed with a bouquet, a humming bird, or any ornament in this style, and the other of flowers or feathers. ‘The garland of flowers is a little out of fashion, flowers arranged iu sprays being now preferred, as being more generally becoming. Coiffure’ for the evening are fastened down with pins, with diamonds, and different jewels. For ar young ladies it is better not to cover the head. Eleeant parures are made of diadems of velvet enriched with pearls and diamonds. Cornbs are also made with pearls. A corresponding neck- jaceis a great addition to the general effect. ‘A becoming puff for brunettes is of yellow roses, moss, aud small red seeds. Ail these thines form a trimming placed upon a very small round piece of white lace. Tais lace is worked with moss-green and clair de lune beads. The back part is formed of a shell-shaped trim- ming of the same kind of lace, witu green rib- bon moss and red seeds. A wreath of tea roses bas the flowers larger in front than on the sides; they are mingled with bronze-colored plush .and satin loops. In front of the coiffure, fatling over the hair, is a fringe of yellowish leaves. Down the back are Tong ends. Alace mantle for the head for evening wear ismade of waite Spanish lace mounted upon astifftulie form. The lacd’ falls flat over the frout of the head, and is taken back on the side under a bunch of roscs. One of the pointed ends forma scarf, fastened under the chin with another bunch of roses. The other point falls over the shoulders. Two gilded pins, joined by achain, fasten the coiffure down in the middle of the head. On top, in the back, is a ribbon bow with long ends. The Spanish lace covers the back of the head and neck. RELIGION.
