Gossip Jof the New York Correspondent About Colors and Styles, CHICAGO. NINTS FOR LENT. Nor, ladics, powder your hair with ashes and look demure. Put on your sack ot cloth and attend church regularly each morning. Look as though it was a bleasure for you to do so, and pay close attention toJwhat the Reetor is saying. Eat sparingly at dinner, and take a Iunch in your pocket when you go down town to do your shopping in the afternoon. Lent is 2 busy season with you, and you must improve cach shining hour, for we are having precious few of them nowadays. You have a countless number of dresses, bounets, sashes, ribbons, bows, ties, scarfs, hose, boots, gloves, and embroidered articles to purchase and to mauufacture, in order to be at all presentable on Easter day, and you must remember that nearly a week of the holy scason has already goneby. You will have lardy time to et eversthing in readiness if you work and plan incessantly during the remaining days. Do not, under any consideration, attend a public re- ception, though you may dance all you please at your own house or the house of a friend, provided the ‘“‘little informal affair™ has not been previously announced. You must Dot think of accepting an invitation to a dance; but you must confine your amusements to theatres, cara-partics, Copenbagen clubs, cte. Follow these rules, and you will be set up as an illustrious example of virtue and Chris- tianity. LASHER—MOELLER.

New Your, March 6.—Ash-Wednesday and Opening Day! Even in some very devout minds to-day the Church and the world arc pro- ‘Yokingly mingled. * From church we have come in the morning clad in figurative sackcloth and, some of us, strewn with ashes au naturel, and after 3 miserable Lenten repast hetake our- selves to tne contemplation of all the young sprina’s gorgeous paraphernalia, as displayed in the shops. Undoubtedly the spring fabrics are charming. In silks, there are many and most_ exquisite varietics. There are several noveltics, which are very rich and elegant. One of these is termed “ Bagdad " silk. Itisa ve fine and extremely soft silk, havine perpend lar stripes that either harmonize or contrast With the cround, and these stripes are crossed at intervals by minute gold or silver threads, This is a very showy and expensive silk. ‘there are so many new and beautiful varieties that the old-time striped and cnecked silks arcrather thrown in the shade. They will, however, be worn probably by many, aud” are .to be vom- mended in combination toileites. Foulard silks are hizhly recommended, and will be quite b They ar¢ shown in ud fanciful desiens, and are An cxtmmclfi good_quality Of Dlack silk, that all sorts of lo not very costly. can be procured at 31, beautiful, incomparable fabric, L need but sa that itholds its own. The verv newest malke: haye a slightly bluish tint that is pleasing. Among new materials is a delightful one known as summer cawmel’s hair. It is all wool, but as thin and light as grenadine, and so a most desirable cubstitute for bunting, which, in my idea, was an abominable production. This latter, however, reappears, and, 1 am told, will still be poputar, but I'do vot believe it can stand suceessfully aguinst the soft, fiue, Jig camel's hair. And this last possosses a great advantage over bunting, for it may be ob- tained 1 o beautiful blaci which one could uever obtainm bunting. Twilled debes serges will be much worn for traveling aud simlar uses, especially in the handsome gray and browns which are shown. These are so suitable for some purposes aud so durable and cheap that we have no excuse lfor discarding them. Among cotton goods, the percales and organ- dies are the most attra The percales bave generally a dark eround strewn with bright dlowers, their outlines and colors rendered pleasingly indistitict by a sort of veil-like ob~ Excelkent varieties may be had for seuration. 35 cents per yard. But theorgandies! They arc lovely! ~ Some have a surface of cream or pearl color, over which are flung_ garlands of roses and leaves. — Others show on & ground of fawn color shaded patches, irrewrular in shape, of chocolate-brown. In others exquisite floral designs are_displayed on o ground of delicate amber or palest “green, and one beautiful variety is a counterpart of a June sky,—a gronid of turquoise-blue, toned and softened by white, fleeey cloudings. These beautitul fabrics are not ensive, costing about 80 cents ayard, But there arc other materials, so gor- geous in apoearauce, 50 enormous iu price, that T could but stare at them in awe and cuvy. THE BOURETTE MANIA, to which we all succumbed during the winter, has followed into the spring. Almost every new material shows that peculiar knottiness which s a_characteristic of bourettes. There are 50 many styles of grenadiue that I searcely know which to mention. and wuich to omit. Grenadine taminee is black, haviug woven into it threads of gold, silver, reddish fold, or blue steel. The effect is showy and rather hand- some, appropriate for évening wear. Grenadine Iudicnue, as its name_indicates, has ail the gor- fzeous coloring of the -East woven into small nosaic desigus. It is extremely rich in appear- ance, is very costly, aud will be more used for combining With black silk or piain black grena- dine than' for whole toilettes. 0USse grena- dineis a striped fabric. consistingof an open lace-like stripc alternating with one'of a mossy appearance. - AlL these varicties_are costly and elezant, but they have not altogeher done away with the rich and_handsome black grena- dince. These may still be had in several styles, the close silk net “with floriated design and the plain ordinary testurc beiug the most de- sirable ones. A gorgeous and elegant fabric, whose principal cliurm fs its movelty, s Drap Mirabeau. It has a ground generaily of some subducd shade, as, for in- stance, ““ Havane,” or some clear gray diversified by stripes, which'may be wither of the same color or in contrast. “The peculiarity of these stripes is that they consist of short, fringe-like ends, which have the appearance of a lonm plusii. These stripes are smooth and glossy wiien rubbed down, but are ensily rougheted it stroked the wrong way. As migit be suvposed, this is not an inexpensive material, and will so remain within the reach ouly of a few, for it canuot be imitated. With the advent of cach scason some new color comes forward as a can- didate for favor. ‘This time it i3 o novel tiut, or rather several ghades, that ave to Iead as the reigning color. “Iavaue” is the name, and it 1s applied to several tints or shiades which ure Doticeable in the cigar, not after its completion, but during various stages of its_preparation, The color itself is a sort of grayish-brown, or brownish-gray, and, though not very pretty, it is movel, and hence will be ‘the shade par excelience for a shart time . at lcast. Green will_ be largely worn in its darkest shades. It is itself a charming, svring-like color, and, when used in its deeper toucs, as moss green, it blends too hc:\utlfus)ly with various delicate tints to lose favor., Com-~ binations of palest blue with dark precn are pleasiog and clezunt. Whatever {5 in nature may be in art, and who ever dreawms of carping at the clear, faint blue canopy soread over the dark verdure of forest and mcadow? Pale-rose also unites most harmoniously with dark-green indeed there are few combinations more grate- ful to the eye; and dark-red, or a very warm bright red also blends pleasingly with deen green. So it is decrecd that green remains with us. Among pale greeos, very faint, and de- signed for evening wear, are’ two new shades which are beautiful, and areto be quite in vorue, Oncof thesc is *caseade,” a delicate water- green; the other Is an ‘exquisite sort.of shim- meriug green styled * crlsq!.nl.” 1t is beautiful. And then we still have the :pretty fresh sea- foam. There are, indeed, so many dainty nu- ances, 50 many new DELICATE AND BECOMING TINTS in all the late materials, that'{ am inclined 'io fear white will be ratherat a discount. Not that it can ever 'go “out of fashion,” but, like the poor, we have: it -alway with us, and these new shades have added to their beauty the - al- most equal charm of novelty. While navy-blue still continues to be much admired, it is far from being so popular as it has been. Indizo shades arc to be worn. somewhat, and a pretty fancy combines it with the palest of pale blue. The effect is very pleasing. ¥or evening wear, blue will always find favor, aud there are sev- eral beautiful tints ‘presented. ‘“Cicl glace,” **azure pale.” and ‘*ciel* are all fashionable shades. The rich prane color lately in vozue scemss not g0 extensively used, although it may occasionally be seen in its darkest shades. Deep purples -will be considerably worn this sprin; and some very pretty fubrics show a blending of .rich purple and “‘lilas frais ’~a pale, fresh lilag, which is very new and satisfactory. The yellow fever, which counted so many vi tims to its inlluence, s on the wane. Tue very pronounced shades, or rather varieties, as Mandarin, are sparingly used, if arall. How- ever, the delieate gradations, cream, ivory, maize, and straw color, are expected to play o prominent part in the spring campaizn. A vov- elty in yeliow is the new shade, *manille,” very deliente, und fresh, and pretty, y of the fnvisible or large indistinct olaids which are desiemed for making up into walking suits with kilt skirc, jacket, and vest, the colors are a livht gray with “havane.” A new shade of gray is **sarde,’” a pretty and light tint, and “‘clair-de-lune clair” is a new soft, pale gray, very handsome indeed. Itnink I have mentioned the popularity of the kilt skirt surmounted by the stylish coat and vest. It rises in favor every day, and I am told by our most excellent modistes tiat two- thirds of the orders for spring street dresses are for this style. And how hugely comforta- bleitis! Nomore risk of stilfening one's arm and sending oue’s tingers to sleep from holding up a yard or two of heavy pleating and flounces! Little by Jittle thiis willenium has been approaching, and now that it is herc let us make haste to welcome i, lest our frosty recestion frighten it away. | dies here who fead the fashions appear in this becoming costume, and let the fashion spread. Another adinirable walking-skirt is calied the “Griselda.” 1t is rather short in front, and at the buck just escapes the ground. It is finished at the bottom by two heavily-pleated flounces cach about one-quarter yard deep. Above this. aud covering the top ot the upper flounce, is the overdress. In front It is drawn closely across more than balf its length, and thenit 13 fulled a little the rest of the way. The back consists of two perfectly straight pleces almost as lon a3 the skirt, and eachlaid in three pleats turned Lofthe back. These two picees are joined togetlier in three places by Lows of ribbon bay- fug long loops and ends. A coat and vest may be appropriately added. A very STYLISH AND NOVEL JACKET is known as the Rowena. It is lonrand in front ba)f-fittiug, opening its entire lenuth overs straight vest of equal aenth. A row of butcons or other trimming is placed where the vest is attazned to the jacket. In the back is a struight ke, and the remaining portion of the burk is Iastened to this after being laid in three box- phiits. A pretty turned-down collar, deep cufls and larze square pockete complete this odd little garment, which is very pretty, though peculiar. A haudsome and most desirable wrap is in- troduced under the “ taking 7 title of *Mignon Visite.”” It resembles in the back a round cane which falls slightly below the waist. It comes forward and is crossed in froat, the ends then being carried back and fastened behind under a Jarge and claborate bow. The ends are so made that after being rightly arranged, they it smoothly and accurately over the hips, and Tall here in deep, graceful oints. This is 2 charming garment, if made in black silk and “oroamented with laze and jet. Iiis then designed for wear over bright summer silks and grenadiues, and one muay easily imagine how pretty it would be. [f made in cashmere and trimmed with pleating: y or wich nenterie, it be approvriate I have ecen several visiting h it accompanies, and where it is made of the dress material and trimmed to correspond. ‘The effect is pleasing in the ex- treme.

' The short dress for the street is atlast an ne- complished fact. This costume is u styiish cx- ample of the convenieut suort skirt that the Bazar has alvays advoeated as a walking dress, and consists througrhout of features that are. in great favor at present, viz. : the cut-away ji 't, the vest, the seart, and pleated kilt skirt with yoke. The materlals most used for such dresses are the useful de beses, sprine woolens of all quulities aud in solid colors, or in bourctte pat- aloon or pa terns, or ols¥ in small checks. Lady's cloth from ecream-color through drab shades to dark gween, invisible Dlue, and black, is especially popular for such suits; the quality sold at §2 a yard is muchused. Camel’s- hair cloths of the nicest quality for this purpose cost $2 or §3, but very many suits are made of the coarser twilled goods costing from S1to $1.50 a yurd. Very young girls will wear Scoteh plaid of dark color for sprinz, and for sca-side or. mountain dresses during the summer. The fashion of these dresses is excellent for travel- ing suits, as there is little drapery about them to be rumpled. and they remain trim and neat- looking throughout a long journey. Some wash- oods suits are also made in this way, and it is claimed that they are not troublesome to iron. Gray, orown, and blue linen, darkLrown, or blue cambrics, and the small checked percales are chesen for such suits. The kilt skirt is especially commended be- cause It is short enough to escape the ground; and in_order to hang well and_gracefully it must do this, and be quite even all around the bottom. Nothing 5" more awkward looking than a long Kilt skirt with its pleats broken out of line by beiug caught up in the hand of the wearer ag she crosses muddy places: The pat- tern should be cut the proper length, viz.: from Tiips to the instep, allowing about two inches to face upward at_ the bottoms it should then he laid on the cloth, aud the seams joining the breadths should be hidden under the pleats. “the pleats at the back are laul much thicker than those in front and on the sides, and there is a broad box pleat in 1ront. The hest made. woolen kilts have a facing of -thin crinoline muslin a quarter of a yard deep around the bottom, and the dress material is turned up on this about twa inches in depth, and hemmed there with blind stitches that do not reach through to the ouiside. Above the crinviine facing and at, intervals thece to the yoke arc four rows of tape extending around the skirt and holding the pleats m place. These pleats are intended to apoear straight from the yoke down, but they really are_slihtly enlarzed to- ward. the bottom, thoush not sufliciently to flare conspicuously. Each pleat should beTight- Iy tacked on the wrone side to eack row of tape, and should be pressed very flatly. The ton of the pleats is sewed to the yoke, and the seam faced with tape. The yoke has a seam in front, fits smoothly over theé hips, should be lined with strong silesia, and buttoned by three b tons; a beit may be added if necessary. If ladi are very slight, and wish to enla pearance of the hips, they can continue the Kilt-pleating to the beit, and dispense with the yoke, The reverse of this is, howeser, more usually the case. The scarf is 3 long, straight piece of the material cut either across the oods, or else, if more couvenient, lengthwise from the piece. It is passed ciosely around the figure between the koees and hips,—it will need to be differently placed for different figrures,— and must be tight enoush to appear to draw in the kilt slightly. It is lower on the left side, where it begins and ends, and ascends to the right side, where the middle of the searf is placed; it is not necessary to sew it to the kilt, except on the left side where it is lowest, and on the highest point on the right. The large longr-looped bow is made of the scarf materal doubled and sewed tozether on the wrong side. For ladies of inedium size about four and a half breadths of double-width goods are put in a kilt skirt; the searf is then about five-cighths of a yard wide. The cut-away jacket and vest need little de- scription, as such gmrments hayealready become familiar to our readers. The back of the jacket has short seawms from the armhole, with lappets in these below the waist, and pockets placed across the tail of the jacket, not at the waist lme. The edgesof the garment are merely stitched in parallel rows; from three to sixrows arc used. The vest is_sewed in the under-arm scams; but as this jacket is very suitable for a wrap to be worn with any dress, most ladics keep the vest scparate, and merely add 2 strzo or belt of cambric across the back.” This allows greater variety also, as white, #ray, cream-color, or elscstriped vests may be used instead of “tbat like the jacket. Black, brown, or white horn buttons are preferred for these suits; these bave eyes through the middle, are very substantial, and cost 25 cents a aozen. NOTES. Merxicaine grenadines are revived. Bounets are more worn than hats. Mastic is the latest shade of putty color. 1c N Hike a glove. - Bourette muslin is s new fabric in diaphanous goods. + Quantities of pearl beads, white and tinted, are used in spring millizery. Bonnet coronets are very high, and turned very far back at the sides. The new s:yles of dressing the hair are as variea as the bonnets and hats. Square necks, tormed by long and high shoul- der-straps, are seen in opera toilets. Dolmaus, French sacques, and Carrick capes will all be fashionable sprine wraps. Short Carrick capes appear on many of the spring basques, ulsters, and sacques. Flat cotinge crowns are given either close fit- tine or farluy, or coronet brims, according to fancy. Havana brown and black are favorite combina- tions of color for chiecked aud busket-woven spring bourettes, Bourctte is u term applied indefinitelv t season to all irregularly-woven ali-wool and e oy and wool dress zoods. Chinese green, Mexique blue, Mandarin yel- low, orange. cardinal red, scarlet, crunson, and rose are among the popular colors. c spriue bourettes, cawel's-hair zoods, cashmeres, and basket-woven stufls are besuti- fully fine and light in texture, and of exquisite tinish.

The erounds of most of the spring bourettes are dark and sober, but the mixed’ cords and kuotted threads of bright color shot nto the fabrics git fe aud elowto their otherwise sombre or cold effect. Habit basques, with short fronts and with the back elongated to form the draperies of the skirt like the back of a polonaise, will be worn in the spring over demi-trained sfarts, tlouvced to the knee in front, and with ouly ane or two Hounces in the back.

While much has been written concerning tha use of “putup” medicines, the question is still an open one, and demands of the people 3 careful considerat’gn. The salient points wmay be briefly stated and answered as tollows: Ist— Are the sick capable of determuning their real condition, the nature of their malady, and se- lectirg the proper remedy or means of curel 2d~Can a puysician, no matter how skillful, prepare a universal remedy, adapted to toe pe- culiar atlments of a larze class of people, resid- ing in different latitudes, and subject to varjous climatic influences?. In unswer ‘to the first proposition, we would sy, diseases are named and known by certain *sizns™ or symptoms, and, as the mother does not need a physicla to tell her that her child has the whooping-cough, or indicate a remedy, so people, when atllicted with mauy of the symptoms concomitant to * impure blood,” * torpid liver,” and * bad di- estion,” require no other knowledge of thir condition, or the remedy indicated, than they already possess. Sceond proposition—any physicians argue that diseases are scctionafly peculiar, and that their treatment must there- fore vary, and yet quinine, morphine, podopbyl- lin, and huodreds of other remedies are pre- seribed in all countries to overcome certain coud- tions. TIs it uot, therefore, seif-evident that a physician whose large experience has made him familiar with the many phases incident to all impuritles of the blood, general and nervous debili- tu, liver complaint, dysvepsia, consumption, and catarrh, can prepare a series of remedies exsctly adapted to meet the conditions manifest, wher- ever, and by whatever means, it may have been engendered? The family medicines prepared by R. V. Pieree, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., ulill the above requirements. Many physiclans pre- scribe them in their practice. His Golden Med- jeal Discovery bas no cqual as a blood-purifier and general onic, while his Favorite Preserip- tion cures those weaknesses peculiar to wom- en, alter physicians bave fafled. His Pleasant Pureative Pellets, which are sumar-coated and little Jarger than mustard-seeds, are a safe aud certain cure for “torpid” liver and constips- tion.
